OF the negro towards them, because
they know that it is intited by Radical

The Preliminary Note.

MIR. Chamberlain, candidate for Go.
vernon, has published an address to the
public, which was remarkable for hav-
ing nothing in it that my one would
like to know. He did not explain the
operations of the Land Com mission, of
the Sinking Fund Commission, or Of
tha Financial Board. It was simply O
denial that for all the iniqnities with
which he was officially connected, he
WAS personally responsible. IN this, he
has not touched bottom, and We are left
to form ourjudgments Independently Of
any aid which his address affords. In
statements to the correspondent Of the
Louisville Courier Journal. we fiud him
admitting that there il "next to no.
thing" to show for the increase of
Sl2. 100000 funded debt; that the
land which was purchased by the Land
Commission for $780, 900 was 'bad
speculation, and that "hundreds of
thefts" have never been mentioned. In
the Land Commission and Fina cial
Boards, Mr. Chamberlain was bright
aud shining light, and. at the same
time, was the law officer OF the State.
1t is not unjust, then, to place much of
the blame of those transactions upon
bis shoulders. AS regards tho repu-
dated conversion bonds, his language
was enigmatical. He said: "The lie.
gislature may declare them frauds, and
still they may not be-" If that mcaus
anything. it is that Mr. G. departs
from ahe action of the last Legisla-
ture, which threw them overheard.
''They may not be frauds" Thut is
the preliminary note to the bugie.

$4,000 moro monry out Of the
