three actions mentioned and yet there are

HONESTY AND REFORM.
The Late Attorney Generals Hotel Bills
and Hack Hire.
belfast journal.

belfast Journal
An anecdote of the late Attorney Gen.
Mcclellan, and which comes to us, well
vouched for, illustrates the well-known avar-
ice Of that official. When the Fusion Secre-
tary of State was summoned to show why he
should not answer to writ of mandamus,
commanding him to exhibit the returns, the
Attorney General was asked by the Governor
to appear and answer to it. "But who" said
Mac, always mindful of the main chance,
'who is to- pay me?'' The only reply made
was to engage Gould to conduct the defence.
This explains why the Attorney General was
not permitted to open his mouth in the case.
That was case in which the official over
reached himself. An examination of the
treasury accounts at Augusta reveals bill
showing the most characteristic sharp practice
on the part Of Mcclellan, and one which, if it
does not trench closely upon the borders OF
fraud, evidences the most extraordinary hber-
atty towards himself officially. Because the
bill limiting the compensation of the Attorney
General, of every kind, to $1,000 per annum,
had not been passed until the last week in Feb
ruary, Mcclellan makes a series of charges
ranging from the first day of the year to the
day OF the approval of the bill reducing the
salaries, covering every possible item during
the time. 1t is obvious that the repeal was for
the political year 1879, and that the Attorney
General had no more right to expenses for
January and February than he had for the
rest of the year. AS a curiosity We append
copy of the bill.

lowing resolutions were adopted with a
shout:

Importance to the product 1g classes of

himself the center Of Il yearly growing
system of antaeonism that has finally

stituents III lis course upon public Qnes-
tions and the demands OF individual Re-
publicans for respectful consideration

esty in the conduct of public matters.

congress in this district, and that we
pledge him our united effort to secure
