THE tallest sham in the State is
the editor ofthe AdU0cdte. One week
lie tells us that desire for office
is enough to destroy a mans chances
and that he uses the names of men
without any consultation with them
Another week be publishes whole
tickets and pretends that he has
nothing to do with bringing them
forward. He then follows up his
tickets with a pretended letter both
criticising and complimenting his
course. After copying an extract
from the sham letter he says the
"elates are no more our making than
they are our over-modest cores
pondent's." That is true enough.
He and bis over-modest correspond

SECRETARY CHANDLER, OF the In
terror Department, has just discover
ed most stupendous frand. In max
ing an inventory of the various Sc
curities constituting the Indian trust
fund, he found that, in addition to
the $4,000 stolen by Jacob Thomp-
son, President Buchanan's Secretary
of the Interior, about $1,200,o00 in
cash was taken ont by some OF
Thompson's predecessors aud replac-
ed by worthless Southern securities
of various kinds. The law requires
that these funds shall be invested in
government bonds only. The taithless
Democratic servants of the people
took no heed of the law, but violated
It for the purpose of enriching them
selves. On the securities with which
the cash was replaced little or no
interest has been paid. The United
States, therefore, owes the Indians
not only the amount of cash misappro-
priated, but also the accumulated
interest thereon, making the total
indebtedness something like five mill
lions of dollars. This is only another
case in which the government has
been robbed by those who now clam
to be reformers.
