Show The investigation of Schaflen-burg's Schaflen-burg's accounts as United States marshal of Colorado has resulted in some very interesting developments, an account of which is given in our telegraphic columns. Schaflenburg made a fortune by the most original and bare-laced swindling iraangi-nable, iraangi-nable, built himself a fine house in Denver, and put on tho airs of a millionaire. mil-lionaire. He was an orthodox republican repub-lican and party manager, and probably prob-ably contributed handsomely to maintain Colorado's political status. The controlling ring still stick to bim, and will endeavor to work upon President Grant's feelings in his lavor, representing that tho conviction convic-tion of Schafftjnburg will break up the party. It is to he hoped that tho trial of Schaflenburg will bo vigorously vigo-rously pushed to his conviction and punishment, unless ho can prove his innocence, and that this ca.se will be but the beginning of investigations into tho acts of territorial official, wherever thcro may bo reason to apprehend that they aro engaged in filling their pockets at the expense of the government. |
