It is a notable faet that the virtuous
Radical Legislature maintained no de
position to “snap'’ or "compromise” the
M’toticll Heir case until this superb
dusiity was admitted to the rank of
"Orphanage.” They had no right there
by hereditary allianoc, yet they were ad
mitted by gTaoe, favor, or some more
questional proceednre, end veiy soon
tlicresfter the whole affair is settled up—
tho State relaxes ber title to the moat
magnificent property in the eity, and the
“Orphans”—one of whom Bnlloek and
Kimball tiSre—cotliy walk away with a
liberal aharo of proceeds. The heira
proper obtained not exceeding $50,000,
while the other “Orphan!" pocketed the
moderate heritage of one Hundred and

The report fa a moat amazing one. It
shows on unscrupulous and disgusting

character and dignity, and proves tho

Tho Committee has had a broad field
to oxplore. In its work it has nocessari-
ly trenched npon the fields properly be

graced the Exeoativo Chair, Bullook is

three pardont. A full list of these is

crimos of ell grades, from “using obsoone
