REFORM! REFORM I
Our radical exchanges teem with
virtuous promises of reform ; That is
a catch word, and should read with a
stress on the first syllable, re form to
plunder again. It lias been reform
for tho past six years, and the grab
was bigger each time. Judging by
the past if the radicals have another
reform they will lcavo nothing behind
but the 'savor of their virtuous deeds.'
A shepherd can afford to lay claims to
a lamb without suspicion ; but when a
wolf prowls around, his reputation
stands against him. Reform by study
ing and practising the decalogue; then
raise whatever cry you will, it may
excite some attention. Until then do
not insult the public ear with the word
reform.
THE BANK OF THE STATE.
"We have before us the cat that lias
so long been hid in the meal tub; the
explanation of the sudden, and to many
of us expected change of front in the
"Moses" trial, and we aro the more
confirmed (if that be possible)thntfroni
Governor to henchman, all through,
the principle of party rules everything
even justice trickles out of the party
s'piggot, as party influence chooses to
dispense it. Tho man is a fool who
admits any influence, that conflicts
with, or I insses justice; tho man is a
knave that uses any such influence, to
defeat justice, in strengthening vice.
How far favor, fear, or other consider
ation affected the Ccurt in the late
Moses farce, may find some explana
tion in tho report submitted by the
committee (Messrs. Miles, Jones, Ha
good and Bratton) on behalf of the
taxpayers convention. It was evident
that Moses base as he is, was being
used to pull nuts out of the party fire,
and that his degraded position was a
step stone to some adventurer who if
he did not aid to trip him, is not a whit
more virtuous than the cieature he
calls governor, and whom he fawns
upon only to stab. Moses was guilty
of larceny, as he is guilty of a thousand
crimes that degrade his oflice, yet the
sanio party lash that herded his con
stituents to make him a Governor is
cracking over the head of the Court
which is the creature of the party.
Moses and his constituency, the assem
bly and the Courts, are all a ring, and
the throne above the conclave is "the
party." "Tho party" is corruption.
"Why should the Court contrive to keep
Moses from the meshes of law ? Is it
compatible with the purity of its de
portment? Why should it protect
Moses from a trial ? It would seem to
any candid mind that he should court
an investigation of the charges, if ns
stated in his late disclaimer he is the
"meek Moses." It is very evident that
there were outside considerations, that
smothered justice, and the casual rea
der may discover them in the loose,
nay criminal conduct of the Judge
who manipulated for the benefit of
Moses the party and others the assets
of tho Bank of the State. So low have
the affairs of public life sunk in the
abyss of debauched morals, that even
it judge in the discharge of duty can
be blackmailed, und silenced. Cham
berlain writes -"I confess that I am
astonished that Judge Graham should
have permitted the loans inside, after
spending live years in collecting the
assets of this bank, and just upon the
eve of a final decree, these assets arc
being scattered here and there upon
securities not a whit better than those
which were the cause of so much loss
heretofore to the bank" * * *
"If this thing is continued I wash my
hands of it, and I now protest "against
it as wholly unwarranted in law and
good policy. The State 18 unquestion
ably liable for all debts of the bank
not p?id by these assets, and I cannot
sit by and see them scattered in this
most ruinous manner." A people
crushed to earth with tnxes, and cursed
with ignorance, are again to pay for
the looseness of a party court; Vet so
it i-, und who expected heller?

A meeting was called at 12 o'clock
to-day lor tho purpose of lowing a
School Tax for this township. A rad
tion was made that Mr. H. Riggs should
act as chairman and Mr W; K. Crook
secretary. Mr. Samuel Dibble asked
for information, "how many Public
Schools arc in this Township." Mr.
T. C. Andrews made a report of nine,
three white and six colored.the scholars
of which numbered about 1200. Mr.
Andrews made statements showing how
this Township stood in finance. A
motion was then made that a committee
of three ba appointed to find out what
amount would be requited to carry on
thoschoolsfort.no coming year; the
motion was put before the house and
lost. After considerable debate a mo
tion was made that tho tax of\\ mills
bo levied for the purpose of carrying
on the Public Schools of this township,
one mill to be appropriated for school
purposes nnd the half mill to pay the
past indebtedness. Mr. Sain'l Dibble's
statements from one of the Trustees
showed that 1J mill would be sufficient;
his remarks on the subject were very
appropriate, however the vote of tux
of 1} mills was tost, and the amount
of 2 mills was substituted in its stead,
1} Inills to be appropriated for thi.?
year's school purposes and J mill for
the pti8t indebtedness. The tax of 2
mills was therefore adopted, and the
meeting njourned, but could not get
home on nccount of a hail storm which
came up. Judge T. C. Andrews then
took the chair and turned the meeting
into one for public speaking. Mr. S.
Dibble was then called on for a speech,
he first begged to be cxetiticd; but after
awhile reflected, nnd in his usual forci
ble and graceful style made a few re
marks. Mr. "Joe. Larkins" was then
nominated for Congress, and about
that time I left and went home about
my. Business.
