From the Ft. Waynq:(hwtte, [ Ropnblic&p]. THE GRAND SWINDLE. " Mr. Chauncey H. Snow, Government Director of the Union Paeific Railroad, has given in his report to the President of the United Statds. Although not guite completed, it is a startling exposition of the grandest wholesale swindle ever nyptrat;ed. upon any gowrﬁme'ﬁ'{"ﬂﬁ'gﬁw the face of the earth. It not only corroborates that of Mr. Jesse L.'W?lli_ams. which it commends highly, but goes very much farther in its denunciation of the entire management. e To give an idea of the extent of the enormity, we can do no better than to give extracts of the report. It is well known that before the road could legally receive the government subsidy of so.much a mile, that that mile must be in thorough condition and completely provifed with culverts, ete., wherever they were necessary, making it in every respect a first class road. How far this condition has been complied with, may be judged from the following. Speaking of a certain section, Mr. Snow says: !

«From Rawlings Springs to Wahsach the loeation of the road is generally good. But there are a number of curves—many of them sharp—and reverse curves which are clearly unnecessary. One mile east of Evanston Station, I observed an eight degree curve reversed on a six degree curve, with no straight line intervening, on an embankment twenty fect high, and near the same place a reversed curve of eight degrees on a sixteen feet ‘enbankment. These eurves are not necessary, and should not be found on any first class road. And when we consider that they are:built of straight rails and on frozen alkali clodg, without any ballast, the danger of passing over them seems absolutely startling.” i Of the road-bed he says:

“«The embankments and excavations are generally too narrow. Where the cuttings are light, the embankments are often less in width than the length of the ties, and withont the proper slopes. The narrow cuttings will be e ge, e sek % equally liable to be obstructed by falling rocks. From Bryan to Echo, with the exception of about ten miles, the track is laid on an alkali clay, which is liable to wash away. iy Until this is ballasted, it will be de-, cidedly unsafe to run trains over it.at any rate of speed. From Bryan to Wahsatch the track is from one to six feet below /the grade, and is laid on frozen clods without ballast. Of courze, this cannot be considered a permanent road bed, notwithstanding it has been accepted and paid for as “first class.” On the subject of drains and cul~verts, Mr. Williams animadverted to gome extent, and suggested some important improvements. His suggestions in this behalf have not been followed. There are drains where there ' ought to be culverts, and fillings where there ought to be drains. For one thousand. miles west of OUmaha there are two arched culverts, and only two!r On the 13th of February, between Shell Creek and North Bend, ‘the track and embankment for about four hundred feet were washed away for want of sufficient drainage. A freight train, drawn by engine No. 126, (which had been but two months on the road), ran into the chasis, completely wrecking the engine and several cars. A passenger train might have met the same fate.”” .

“ By becoming themselves the contractors, the receivers of the subsidies have simply paid out of one hand and received it in the other, "Every possible device for expending the money was, theretore, invented ; for instance: WATER-TANKS AND WIND-MILLS.

In regard to these subjects I can now only very briefly make a partial report. The water-tanks are at convenient ' distances, and are nearly all provided with wind-mills, farnished by the Maynard Windmill Company, with which to pump water. .If the company had any way of regulating the wind, these things would® be both economical and useful. As itis, however, whatever may be said in favor of their economy, th'%r certainly ‘do ‘not possess utility. hen ‘thete 'is mno wind they do not work; and when there is any wind in - that country there is too much for thege mills ; their machinery is thrown out of gear, and they will .not pump. In;a few. in stances stationary engines have: been substituted for the wind-mills ;" and at Bryan there -arethirtysix ‘men ‘etiiv ployed, at $3 per diiyr;eachro ‘work. the wind-mill. Yet thegp “mills are being evacrai"” . SOREE - . As an instance of how the Govern‘miént Oommissioners have performed their duty, we ?u'ot‘e:‘ Lehade A 7 “Ten ‘miles of road not even graded; .and without t; r:g, ﬁ:. :it.b:ie:d‘a.stmnelnot yet completed, have been aceepted a 8 8 “ﬁutpclgss . railroad,” and the Government . subsidy. has . been paid. P his acceptance, In justice to the, ommissioners, I will say that I am. informed.that they were_taken round ‘this portion of the road; hoth ways, in #he night, bn the tempority track—‘Thié is probablynet.the"b wz "to examine & railroad in rderto ascerroad ; but that this was the manuer in. s, o Btbmed s o

accepting this _part of the roal,"buj ‘was eventually persuaded, to.do sa-r - : «Of the management.of the mad" the lek B ik cow | The fagt is the road & not, gmana: ged at all; it is mismanaged -alte: gether. - It might be supposed sthat the 'managers of this companyin’ selecting a person m-augerw ‘such’a road—the longest . lint ‘g‘{:z d in the world—would have. cast.about for a ‘man of éxperience—a man’ who had not ounly been a railroad man, bat'a successful Superintendent of railroads. The experience of ‘the General Su. ‘perintendent as a railroad man, befogs entering upon the duties of Genersl ‘Superintendent of this; the greatest of roads, was all gained by selling tickets for a railroad in the interior ¢f lowa. Is any farther explanation neceesary as to why this road - is:; e fearfully mismanaged ? Ouly this; that he openly proclaims, and atts upon the theofy,)ﬁ there shall be no g employed upon the road who: kndws more about, railroading: e-does* The Superintendent has'adopted the olicy of discharging everybody who Eno’ws more than he does. For ijstance: s i

“QOne incident: which. oceurred :a\ Rawlings’ “Springs, on the I3th";}; February illustrates the ‘chidiices of an. employe, who has a mind of his own, holding -his - place. ' An. engineer.was directed to take out an engine,i which' he declined to do, stating that it would burst. He was dismissed. Another engineer was ordered to take ont‘,ﬂ:ew engine, but gave the same answer, and, shared the same fate. A third engi- “ neer received the same order,” and obeyed it. Within half an hour j'h‘el engine exploded, killing the engineer, fireman and conductor.’”’ . 1

We could give more extracts to exhibit the swindle further. Now the .question is, how long is this - to go on. The Government Directors having no pecuniary interest in the road, can’ incur no sugpicion as to the veracity of the report. All that Mr. Williams has had to say has been corroborated and strengthened in stronger language by Mr. Snow." A read has been’ built for the only purpose of getting the government money. . The greater part of it will have to.be built over again. The manipulators: of ‘the affair' bave the money in their pockets."" Is'it supposed that they ¢annot bé reached’ by law? If not, a law had better, be made which can. reach: them.:: They will uge every endeavor' to invalidate the reports which have beéen given.. They will not hesitate to cast slurs on personal character. = The people, however, will know how to receive them, and popular epinion’¢alls for rétribution. H hige Sinc J [0

... FROM INDIANAPOLIS. = ' 4o 4 IsDIANAPOLIS, May 15,1860, The renowned ‘Clispmatt - Temperance ‘bill, which literally' "means 'prohibition, ‘passed the House by a vote of 57 to 85 and: ig'mow' bofore the Senate, but Whether it will-pass that body or ‘ot is a .question ‘with me® Mr. Chapman, the Representative ffom Noble and Elkhart, is the author of thig Prohibitory Law, and it must beconceded that it is well gotten up, snd its objeptionable features so screened asto deqeive the unwary of its resl design. I venture to predict (hat. if this bill passes the Senate "“ad'beoqgga' ‘a law, it is equivalent to a probibitory law, and the fruite of it will prove what has been predicted some timesince, i. e. that the party in power isinleagne with and in thie interest of the temperance party. - This bill might be classed with the 15th amendment from the fact that the:now existing - majority ‘know full well ithat if the 15th amendment, is not adopted by the present legislature, is is goné up, and so with the temperance ques{ion, for the record ‘the Majority in this legislature have made; will ‘certainly induce the|people of this State‘to pause and reflect bafore they place their destiny in +the hands of these men again. The argument presented by Mr. Chapman in his pet meagure, must be admited, was good, and well received by the friends of the bill, and Jooked upon by the opponents-as: good as could be mide on this subject, for it is a/ matter which the republican party dare not pdvo#:"t‘_t:é in's manly, straight forward ,lhijzine:xj‘,‘ ;ﬁnd lay bare thgir_!trno sentimerts in regard to the subject of temperance. While Mr, Chapman is free and outspoken in the advocagy :of temperance, his. coworkers in.the gause are attempting to skulk the responsibility, as was fully demounstratedion the first (vote upon the bill, whep. sqveral loyal gentlemen ‘had pressing'business outside the: House of Representatives. - : s R,

The Morgan raid bill which has harrassed the legislature for “several sessions, is finally disposed of. | The facts in the case are, "th_,il.lraurin’g the time the State was invaded by Morgan and Hobson’s rebel forces, a great amount of property was destroyed by them aud also by our forces in pufsuit of thiese invaders. The State, according to the Constitution, is bound to protect and fuird its people from damages of war. | Governors Morton and Baker bothfavored and recommended the payment of these claims, and commissioners were ap-, pointed by Gov. Baker, composed entirely of republicans, men supposed to be honest, upright citizens, men who would examine jnto this vexatious question carefully, and look at the claims in their trae bearings regandless of politics; they were engaged atithis nearly one hundred days, and reported to' the House and Senate, recomménding the, payment, saying that the olaims are just and should be paid, and they generally eoncur in the opinion ‘that

the State. Thus it will be seen that this great question is not & matter of hasty conclusions; but s transactiom carefully and deliberately looked into, by men selected from among the best of the republican party, exjoying the confidence of the people as men of integrity and strict honesty. Upon their recommendation, tcgether with Governors Morton and Baker’s sqveral recommendations, many members voted for the bill, with the. conviction that it is right. When any portion of the people ‘of this State are the sufferers by’ reason of an inyasion, that the State should make good the losses thus sustained. The opponents of the bill claim that it. was gotten up in the interest of the rebel sympathizersjof the border counties, goqseqn{ontly some, intended to defeat it by appealing to political passions and prejudioF, but the facts in the case are that: upon|the testimony.of some of the wust reliable Republican l';mmberp,-:'s many: if not'more Republicapa than Democrate are affested by this bill: - The menibers from Laporte voted for it, a 8 did several others’ from the Northern part of }hﬁ*ﬂlﬁtg;’ﬂtﬁé vote showed 'in its result that party feeling was ignored.— ‘The'speécific appropriation bill is still pending, snd il 'theé ‘opihion of every honest ‘mas, dught fo'hang kigher' than Haman; forfstance’the Committee reports in. favor of ‘allowifig & 'man $2,199 for blowing the hass drum in the year of 1861, at Camp Morton' Three different Legislatures have béen in session since the time alleged this service was rendered, and (the gentlemen who it is claimed employed him, are all living creafures gt this time, but not s word of recommend. from them ; {to cap the climax, however, Mr. Osborne, the member from Putnam and. , Hendricks, IL, leading Republican, stated to the House that he wab, ‘at that time, lying'in eaid camp, and Enows:well that- that mau: played the bass drum atithe time alleged; but. also recollests, that nearly every time he performed acollection was taken up for. him amo the soldiers, and that he was libe 'o;lly_‘pblilg foriall'he had done, yeét in the face of all thi@t&e';e&r’t of the Committee was adopted: by the Republican majority. |l¢ is boe: of the many items °i§?‘l‘!‘:’d§!i.

. A MONSTER MOOSE. = AlTwenty Years’ Chase and Final Sue(From the Portage Lake Mining Gazette.) In the year 1847, there was a famous herd of moosge living in the woods around the head of L’Anse Bay, which; even then, were noted for their great size, beauty, and exceeding fleetness of feet, This latter fact was well known and attested by many ambitious hunters who sought to add a moose to the list of their trophies.. How many days and nights, and how many scores of miles were tramped. through the woods, all in vain, it is useléss to recount. But finally the day of triumph and slaughter came; the unfortunate herd were all entrapped and all kill_ed except one old ‘leader stag, which broke away and by dint of great strength and.endurance eluded his pursuers. Fora year or two nothing was seen or heard of him, but finally there came rumors of a gigantic moose roaming. in the woods around the head of Torch Lake. Once or twice a year, for several years, some Indians or adventurous hunters, would meet him, but the old fellow would be ecrashing through the bushes away out of sight before the bunter would recover from his surprise. . .Once a 8 determined party hunted E)rhim three days from the bead of Torch Lake, which appears to have been‘his favorite stamping ground, westward toward Lake Su: perior, then back sgain and off to the eastward, until they finally gave up the. chase.. ' Another time he came out in Beesley's clearing on Torch Lake, but he quickly. disappeared upon scenting a hu: man being. = This winter some Indians appeared determined to catch him, and finding his track gave him several lively chases, but until a week ago he always escaped. - Then a halfbreed, Peter Marksman, got after him, and there being athick crust on the snow, the man could | move about easily, while the sharp hoofs of the ‘veteran moose broke through at every leap. Peter finally overtook him, several miles northeast of the Calumet mine, and ‘quickly closed his carecr with arifle ball. He skinned him, cut up the flesh, brought it to town, and found ready sale for most of it -at fifty centsa pound, realizing over three hundred délll):rs.— The head was cut off and bronghf in, and bas béen exhibited to most of our” people during the past few days. It now belongs to Harry Beesley, C. E., who will prepare it for preservation in the rooms of the Historical Society. - The head alone gave token that thesentire animal must have been of such monstrous size‘ as to recall the days of the ichthyosaurus, megatherium, ptyradactyl, &c., when monsters occupied both the land and the water. Beside this head those of an ox or. horse looks small and insignificant. It meas ured thirty-three inches from the tip of the nose to the crown of the head between theantlers. -~ The nose is of decided “Roman”” style, and measured twentyeight inches aronnd. The nestrils, distended, each ‘measured four inches in: diameter, and a large hand could be pushed up into them over a foot! The front of ‘the under jaw has eight large cutting teeth, which- bite against a tough semihornly pad in the upper jaw, which has no cutting teeth. At the time lf was killed, he was busy st,ri}')}nngr bark from a small, soft sappljmgk il::ihead' cut &ﬁ, irely from_ tbe neck. “minns the » Sgé'grge? Weiug‘lha,s'eventy-eigbt pounds. IE; is a great pity the entire animal ‘could not be preserved. - Unfortunately it was killed at the season of the year when the head i¢ shorn of its greatest beauty—the enormous branching antlers. The new one’ just rising out of the head, is still encased in the skin, on]ly making protuberances of four or five inches.

. i The Republican Party. » The New York Herald has been for some years a most conspicuous and able.advocate for the Republican party. It has s:articnlar’ly distinguished itself by its devotion to Gen. Grant and his Administration. ' This fact gives point. and force to the following, whic]l; wo. gelect from a late number of our New York cotemporary. It says: ' “The fact has become patent that’ the Republican' party is the most corrupt that has ever cursed our land. Duoring the war its leaders fell upon the National . Treasury and th.e__pugfic credit like so many ravenous wolves. Their jobs and robberies in the way of army contracts, in the sale of rotten old gulkﬂs for transports; in the building of new war vessels that proved shells or abortions, and in everything eonnected with supplies, including provisions, clothing, forage, hospital stores, ‘and so.on to the end of the catalogue; ‘ for the use of the ‘army and- navy, | were enough to appal any other people than the American. These depraved and hungry leaders, with ap-‘ petites for the spoils of office still lingering in their. insatiable maws, have now fastened upon the Senate of the United States, and, with an avaricious‘ness that spurns ‘all compromise, reason;and: control, demand :that no appointment shall ibe made without their baving a finger:in-the selection. In the homely phrase of a Western Senator,they are persistently ‘dingdong. ing’ every member of that body ,;:ﬁ. it-is mortifying to acknowledge, they bave in-that body friends and confreres as corrupt as themselves, who are ready and are employed to do their dirty bidding in making Indian treaties, allowing enormous grants of land for private purposes. amf engaging in other scandalous practices; besides encouraging frandulent- appointments’ to offiee.™ . wivw U 5 bR Sine Wi o this indictment of one of their orgaps our Republican friends can do sotbiug. bt plead “guity."—Eng ;%i:"‘;‘f.: Tir aalelan dEAAL BARLE G doied
