1.-THE dishonest conduct OF tho federal

States, is fraud upon the Government,
an outrage upon the law-abding people OF

ton for lawlessness which they do not de
serve. The numerous complaints that have
been made by persons who seem to be we'll
informed and reputable, and reports 10
newspapers of fictitious, fraudulent ana
frivolous prosecutions before certain United

to obtain large bills of costs, and the &C
