The Unblushiug influence.


lDdlidS llmec-l
1t is disgusting to look upon or read
the accounts of such a picture as was
presented around the senate chamber
during the consideration of the peni-
Tertiary lease last week. The cheeky
strikers and hirelings of a band of
cormorantic and leech-like public spec
ulatOrs, working like buzz-saws to in
fluence the people in their official acts,
not that the people might be bene-
fitted, but that a ring of sharpers
might be permitted to get their
greedy desires appeased by feeling
the public moneys relieving the itch
ings of their unholy palms. The fact
that such an unprincipled band is en-
ployed in the interest of the lessees is
proof positive that the contract for
speculation in the flesh and blood of
criminal and unfortunate human
ity is decidedly fat thing. And
then the shameful sequel Just
think of it. AS soon as their end had
been attained and the senate, by
majority of one vote, had sanctioned
the disreputable bargain, the lobby
army broke from the chamber like
they were attempting escape from
some impending dire calamity, as
much as to say to the senate: you
have served our purpose and we have
no further use for you. Remain in
your shame and answer the inter-
rOgatorieS of your accusing con-
sciences" And then they proceeded
in drove to the hall of the house of
representatives, to reproduce the
same disgusting spectacle there.
No wonder Mr.. Camp, of Limestone
county, on Monday arose in his
seat and demanded of the speak
er the enforcement of the rule shield
ing Il members from the unblushing
opportunities of these shameless
characters. AS the confirmation of
the leases is to come up for consider
alton in the house in day or two, it
is to be hoped for the good name of
the state that they will not be al
lowed to further disgrace it. The
house cannot afford to allow the
lobby to prey upon it in public mat
tiers. The people are against it. And
so far as the lease matter is concerned,
it is Overwhelmingly condemned by
public sentiment throughout the
state. and the representatives will be
but needing the voice of the people
by stamping the seal of its condem-
nation on it.
