Moses and the Bonds.

The debt of the state to November 81 I,
1870 amounted to only sass. G22.35. The
validiiy Of this part of the bonds has never
been questioned by any one; although fifty
per cent. of it haa been virtually repudiatcd
under Moses administra; ion. Two weeks
previous to that date +. j. Moses, Jr., was
elected for n second time speaker of the
house Of Representatives. lie had obtained
during his previous term such control
ove- the republican members that from tho
day Of his second election he was virtually
the autocrat Of that body.
His effort to put upon others the response
bility for an increase Of the public debt,
and to take such credit as may belong to
the reputation Of it, is Of a picce with tho
rest of his audacity. In every act of ieyisia-
ton necessary to authorize The issue of6onds The
corporation cfSpeoker !Noscs was aJsolutei,
necessary, and that cooperation was always
had.

rhereas the credit of this State has beeu

The sections which followed declared
that the said bonds were duly and lawfully

and meaning of the several acts of the gem

done, q conflict must inevitably come, and
in that event there will be no such thing
here as nsphodcl meadows, nor will tho
lion and tho lamb be seen lying lown
together.
But all this can be avoided by demon
strating practically our desire to improve the
Government Let us, in tho first place, dis
card Moses, the most colossal corruptionist
Of modern times. He is perfectly reckless
in every RESPECT, and otherwise untitled to
continue in public position. 1t is said that
Promctheus flchcd fire from Heaven, but
wo venture the opinion that if Moses had
tho power to cnter that holy place, he would
not como away without committing some
larccneous act. Hence, we must throw
him overheard, as the initiative tep towards
complete reformation throughout the
Stute. Next, let us elect honest and capable
men 10 the Legislature. An upright Cover
nor can do but little for good, if surrounded
by set Of legislative thieves. Men should
be sent to represent the people who will
refuse TO join secret band, organized for
the ostcnsibe purpose of engineering
through corrupt measures. What is the use
of Governors veto against sworn league?
If money can pass rotten bill, OF put
through fraudulent claim, it an override
and crush an executive protest. Elect
honest men, and there will be no necessity
for the Governor to intcrposc in the behalf
of the people. Instruct your representa-
tives to shun the famous band known as
the money making league, in legislative
parlancc. Honest lawmakers should have
no secrets in their official capacity. This
they cannot do if they follow the lend OF
Bowly, and others we might mention.
OF vast Importance, also, is tho nom;na-
tion of good County officials. The people
are more directly interested in the admins.
tratioa Of County affairs than that of the
States. They have sole charge of the
collection and disbursement of the taxes
which, if n OF pi iopcrly expended, will result
to the direct injury Of the taxpayers. In
n word, the Republicans owe the Conscr va
tive party that which it has right to de-
mand, namely, an upright and honest
Government. We owe it, too. to ourselves
20 strain every nerve in the endeavor to
place acceptable men in the fold. If we 90
to work calmly, coo.ly and with hrmncss,
victory will perch upon our banner again
this fall. On the othsr hnad, ii we dis
regard both tho warnings from without and
the teachings from within, then confusion
and disaster VIII mos. surely sing the
requiem of our defeat.

No measure Of iegislaHon to tohish he ,cas
heartily opposed eUcr passed that body, aud no
bill became iaw against which he threw the
whole ,ceiyht of his Influence. At the begin
ingning Of his second term as speaker, two
schemes were inauguratcd which subse-
qucntly swallowed up almost the entire
amount Of tho money raised by taxation.
These were the Pri lting Swindlc and the
Pay Certificate Fraud. In both Of them f.
D. Moses, Jr., was prominent enough, but
in the latter he was the grand head centre.
To these two gigantic steals may be traced
the subsequent financial straits which had
their Gu u'uIination in the issue of the con-
version bonds and their sacrifice during The
panic after the Chicago fire. Their incep-
tion, organization and continuance were
due to the ingenuity, influence and exam
pie of Speaker Moses. Neither could have
succeeded without him. By means Of them
he bought his way into the place which he
now disgraccs.
To show how costly mistake it was TO
intrust him with the power which he wicl l.
cd, it will be we'll to compare the expenses
Of the Legislative sessions of 1869, 1870,
