THE STATE CAPITOL.

SPRINGFIELD, May 19-There being no
quorum in the senate during the day, and a
bare quorum in the house during the after
noon, legislation was dull at the capitol to-
day. In either house few unimportant
bills were fumbled over on a second read.

over which there was likely to be contest

half an hour during the entire day; while
the house put in pretty fair afternoons
work, passing its bill permitting any fire

GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.
The governor to-day issued the following
proclamation in regard to the observance of
Decoration day.
STATE OF ILLINOIS,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
WHEREAS 1t has become custom of the
patriotic people Of many of the states Of
the Union to annually manifest, by appro-
PIRATE ceremonies. their grateful apprecia-
ton OF the heroic services of the soldiers of
the late war, who made the paramount sac
ritice Of their lives that the government
might live, and believing that this custom
should be honored by general observance,
Therefore l, Shelby NJ. Cullom, governor
of the State Of Illinois, hereby request the
people OF the state to turn aside from their
every day duties and assemblein their several
localities on the Both day of May, inst, for
the purpose of honoring the memory of our
heroic dead, by strewing their graves with
| flowers and expressing in unmistakaDle
| terms our devotion to the prin-
ciples in defence of which they
braved the dangers of the field and
embraced the soldiers death. By doing
this we shall keep alive in the public mind
memories Of the noble and unselfish sacri-
fees ofthe men who saved the Union when
it was assaulted by armed treason; and
shall strengthen the people in their devo-
ton to liberty, union and good government.
A free nation cannot long preserve its lib
critics after the people have lost respect
for the memory OF those whose
lives were given in its
defence or in vindication of its honor, and
in no more effective way can the love of the
people for our fallen heroes be strengthen.
ed, the recollection of their patriotic deeds
be kept green in the public mind, than by
assembling, from time to time, at their last
resting places, and there, while decorating
their graves with flowers and recounting
the story Of their brave deeds, dedicating
ourselves anew to the principles of liberty
and nationality for which they bravely
fought and noblv died.
In testimony whereof have here.
unto set my hand and caused the
SEAL. great seal of State to be affixed.
Done at the city of Springfield, this
10Th day Of May, A. D. 1879.

The Anniversary of Fraud.

This Is the anniversary Of day Of shame.
Two years ago to-day the Electoral Com
mission held its last session ut Washington
and finished the work begun in Florida and
Louisiana by the men who forged HAYEs's
title to be President.
These mon offered to soil the Presidency
Of the United States in 1876, and they found
purchaser. No Congressional nvcstiga-
ton is needed TO discover who bought the
stolen goods or what price was paid. The
crime itself was done in darkness. but the
payments have been made In daylight. The
record Of the honest transfers Of real estate
In this city last year. registered for the iu-
formation of the public and open ~ the in
spcction Of all eyes, IS not more plain and
accessible than the record Of the infamous
purchase that was ratified 10y the Eight to
Seven tribunal two years ago to-day.
We print this morning list OF nearly one
hundred persons prominently concerned in
the great crime OF 1876 who have been re-
warded by RUTHTRFoRp Il. HAYES with sal
aried places, either directly within his giit
or within the reach Of his influence Scam
dalous and vcnal appointments before
HAYEs's time have disguccd the pay-rolls
of the Government. but never has there been
such an exhibit as this!
or those whose names appear in this list.
great majority would be serving out SEN
fences in Jail or prison il existing laws
against forgery. perjury, conspiracy, and
fraud in elections had been executed in their
cases. They have lOoEcd to the White
House for protection against the laws, and
they have not looked In vain.
The aggregate Of the salaries bcstowcdb by
HAYES In payment for the crime by which
he still benefits is onc-quartcr of n million
dollars annually. The recipients are secure
OF their income as long as HAYES remain. in
the White House. His four years are their
four years; he dares not cast them OIL, Tor
they hold him in their power.
Ono million dollars in cash Is the price
paid by RUTHERFORD b. HAYES for his
fraudulent title to the Presidency; and he
pays 1t not out Of his own pocket or the
pockets of his friends, but out OF the
Treasury.
The forgers and the perlurers and tho pro-
curers OF forgery and false oaths have been
literally rewarded for the risks they ran
The defrauded people are taxed to pay Tor
the crime

The French Five Per Cents.

With much hesitation, and after consider
able backing aud ii.liug, the French Gov
eminent have decided, for the present not
60 attempt what is called the conversion Of
the five per cent. renies. That IS to say.
they will 20 on paying interest on about
Sl4)0,0 10000 Of tine national debt at five per
cent. per annum. although they could easily
reduce the rate to four per cent.
The reason assigned for this extraordinary
act OF financial improvidencc Is the unpopu-
arity with the bondholders into which Il
reduction of their income would bring the
Government. The French national debt is
almost exclusively held By the inhabitants
of the country, and IS widely distributed
among them. 1t is customary for MI classes
Of French people OF moderate means 10 in
vest their money in Government secur-
tiles, and with an immense number Of
them the revenue derived from this
source is their only means Of support A
reduction of this revenue by One-nfth,
therefore, which would result from con-
version Of the five per cents into four per
cents. would create a widespread dissatis-
faction which the newly seated Repub-
lican Administration dare not encounter
The nation must pay in the shape of taxes
Sl4.OJO,O0O annually more than it need pay,
rather than provoke the resentment Of the
holders of the public debt, This tenderness
toward the creditors of a nation has queer
look TO Americans, among whom it is fast
getting 10 be n settled principle that such
creditors have no rights which the taxpay-
ing citizen is bound to respect.
