A Card.

The Evansville Journal, in its structures
against the Township officers and the man
agement of the Township funds for the last
fourteen months, endeavored to cast censure
upon the undersigned as Township Treasurer
for the said period.
Now if, as stated, the undersigned was
paid too much for the services rendered, all
he has to say in explanation is, that the al
lowances were made by the Trustees accord
ing to their judgment and discretion, the
undersigned having no influence or vote in
making such allowance The public are
well aware that the Treasurer's bond re-
qures security in the sum of eight or ten
thousand dollars, end no small amount of
responsibility. Indeed, the amount paid is
no more than a just compensation for the
responsibility and services rendered.
As to the general management of the
Township business, the Treasurer has no
more voice than any other citizen.
JOHN T. WALKER.
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1859-03-31
A Card.

We call the attention of our readers to
the card of DIR. JOHN T. WALKER, and hope
they will give it the consideration which the
justification assigned deserves Dr. Walker
thinks, although well paid, he has not re-
ceived so generous an allowance as the
County Treasurer gets for merely transfer
ring the school money received from Indian
apolis to the township which he does with
few scratches of his pen, and in half an
hours labor.
Two overcharges will not make a right
one. There are Investigations and reforms
needed-we have been long aware-in other
offices than those of the township. The
practices exposed in municipal affairs only
reached these minor places by regular de-
scent through higher departments The
corruption has sunk by permeation from the
highest to the lowest fiscal trusts. We fear
the f@ten of the corruption will be more Of
fensive as the investigation ascends
We do not believe, either, that the evil is
confined to our township or county. 1t be-
hooves the people in every place to look
searchingly into the past management OF
their public funds; they will find abuses,
we apprehend that will cause them more
startling shock than we have received.
In our illusions to Mr.. James T. Walker
we have enormously applied the title of
Doctor. The only Doctor Walker impli-
Gated in the township affairs, is Dr. John T.
Walker, who is candidate for Township
Trustee in opposition to DR.. Hallock. Dir.
John 7. is, socially-though a very expen-
sive Treasurer very pleasant gentleman
and popular citizen; and he does not wish
by the application of his professional title
to his brother, to acquire the credit of hav.
ing les 81, 1927 of the township money sliE
into his pocket. We hope our readers will
make the correction.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF FAMILY.-In
New York on the 26th, inst, an inquest was
held on the body of Mrs. Beethen, who kept
boarding house on the corner of fourth av-
enue and fourteenth street, who died from
supposed poison. The testimony thus far
indicates most reckless attempt on the
part of the servant girl, named Margaret
Burke, employed in the house, to poison all
the boarders, some dozen in number, in Or
der to crafty her revenge against the land
lady. The suspicious against her was deem
ed sufficient to warrant her arrest and de-
tentien TO await the result of the inquisition.
Mr.. Robinson, one of the boarders, died to-
day from the effects of the poison admins

city FiNnSfccs,
We publish this morning the report Of Q

We publish this morning the report of the
Committee of the city Council appointed to
settle with the city Collectors. 1t is very
clear and satisfactory statement of the col
lectors of the city Revenues for the last year,
for which we are indebted to the industry
and experience as an accountant, of Coun-
Gilman Hubbell. The State of the account
reflects high credit upon the faithfulness
and ability of collector Wolflin lit exhibits
most creditable contrast to the state of af-
fairs in our township business. The differ
ence in the management of the city finances
and those of the township and county, aris-
es from the faithfulness, and integrity of the
officers of the former but the difference in
the officers is made by the difference in the
mode of doing the business. The publicity
by printing the weekly proceedings of the
council in the Journal-given to the appro-
priatien of every sum-even one or two
dollars-and the object for which it is paid,
is a constant check upon all expenditures
An illegal or unwarrantable appropriation
cannot be made without instant public de-
lection. REGULATORS have therefore no taste
for city ofices-they are left to be sought
for by honest men; who serve their fellow
citizens with honest motives. The most eff
fectual mode of reforming the management
of township and county fiscal affairs, would
be 70 demand that a full and comnlete state
of.every receipt and expenditure of the pub
lie officers be published quarterly, while the
matters relating to it are fresh in the minds
of the people. 1t would require the ex-
penditure of few hundred dollars per an
mum in printing ink and paper, but it would
save the people one thousand dollars for
every ten dollars expended. No measure
that can be adopted would-in our opinion
be so effectual check upon abuses. It
would bring the accounts ofthe public serv-
ants regularly under the supervision of the
people, who form q board of Auditors,
whose scrutiny dishonest place. holders al
ways dread. Insist that the doings of the
township Trustee-the county Commission
ers-the county Auditor and Treasurer,
shall be regularly published as the Council
proceedings are-make the fiscal agents state
where the balances in their hands are depos-
ited-and we are confident, the taxes of this
community will be reduced from IS to so
per cent. in the next assessment
