EVANSVILLE. IND.


We learn from those who have had a
glimpse at the disclosures made in the par
tial examinations of the condition of the
State Treasury, by the Committee of Inves-
tigation, that its affairs are in disgracefnl
condition. The vicious system of allowing
the Treasurer to loan the public money to
Banks and individuals, and pocket the in
terest for himself, has led to numerous heavy
losses and abuses. The Treasurer, instead
of receiving a salary of $500 per annum,
calculates upon realizing SIS, 900 or $4,000
annually, from the chances of using the
public funds in loans and speculations.-
But tempted by the evil practice that pre-
walls, instead of reaping the golden harvest
that induced him to seek the Office, some of
the recent Treasurers have been ruined by
insecure loans and unfortunate operations
with the peoples money.
We are sorry to learn that there are fears
that the present incumbent has been duped
by shrewd political friends, and made unau-
thorized loans that will involve him in seri-
Gus trouble pecuniarily. 1t is stated that if
the public money had been honestly and
prudently managed the last eight years,
there would now be money enough in the
treasury to meet all the States interest cou-
pons and current expenses, without borrow
ing dollar. If this be true there musthave
been waste of over quarter of q million
of dollars. 1t is to be hoped that the COM
mittees of investigation will thoroughly sift
these crying abuses, and by their exposure
convince the people of the State of the ne
cessity of some new mode of keeping the
public funds, either by sub-treasury or by
new system of checks and accountability.
The people, in their innocent simplicity,
imagine that the public servants are living
in republican simplicity upon their econo-
mical, and legal salaries; but there is scarce
ly one of them but is getting in perquisites
and by unauthorized means, double or four
fold his prescribed compensation. A Treas
ure elect does not hesitate to declare his ex-
pectation of making $4,000 annually by
the perquiSites of his Office. In the Audi
tors Office $4,000 is lost, of which no
trace can be found. Even the Governor, it
is said, has not kept his hands from the po-
luton, and instead Of his modest salary al
lowed by law, has managed to draw about
$1,000 in one year in various forms Of fees
and benefits. These abuses have existed
under both parties, and they will continue
and increase unless checked by the veto of
the people. There is an Augean stable at
indianapolis, for Hercules to cleanse

their having voted illegally, and that they
voted for Barrett, is brought home in a man
ner so convincingly as to leave no room for
doubt. In many cases, the proof is the ad-
mission of the parties themselves; in others
the proof is made by persons who know the
parties and the fact of their having voted
without having the right to vote.
A large class of cases are proven by the
returns of the census taken Immediately
after the election, by which many persons
who voted are shown not to have been
naturalized, or that they were under age,
and many others could not be found in the
city at all by the census takers who visited
every habitation in it. The returns made
by the census takers are official acts of
sworn officers, and entitled to be received
with implicit reliance. q Barrel, in his evil
dence, endeavored in one or two instances
only to meet and overthrow this testimony,
but finding that he had snch Indifferent sue
ess, he then attempted to show that the
census was ordered to be takenat an unusual
time for the purpose Of furnishing proof Of
the frauds he and his party had committed.
Not only does the evidence show this
large number of fraudulent votes, but it
shows the men who were most instrumental
in executing the plan of operation, and the
plan itself upon which the so-called Demo-
cracy operated. The plan was co-extensive
with the whole district, fraudulent votes be-
ing shown in almost every precinct but in
some precincts where the judges were in
the onspiracy, and the conspirators strong
enough to; take possession Of the polls,
and keep off the friends of the other can
didates by threats and violence, the bal
lot-boxes were literally stuffed full of fraudu-
ausI votes, and the poll swelled to and
enormous number-sufficient without any
other circumstances, to mark the fraud COM
mitted, and require the election of the en-
tire precinct.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
To the Citizens of Evansville.

FELLOW CITIZENS In offering myself as
candidate, and soliciting your suffrages
for the Office of Mayor of this city, at the
ensuing Spring election, do not intend to
set up any claim of superior merit, or that I
am entitled, on account of past services, to
your support. But must say this much
that wherever have been placed in an Off
cial station, have always endeavored to
discharge the duties of my trust promptly
and honestly, without favor or affection,
according to the best of my Judgment and
ability, and strove so to act as to promote
the best interests Of the community, with
what results you are the best judges. l
have also endeavored so to act without COM
promising my selfrespect, as to avoid CIV
ing offence to any one; will, also, ac-
knowledge that owing to many losses and
unforeseen casualties, my pecuniary circum-
stances are such that am under the neces-
sity of making exertions to keep my prop
city from sacrifice. Although the mind re-
tains its wonted activity, yet the body, ow-
ing to advanced age, is not able to sustain
the fatigue of an active business life (were
it Otherwise, from my present experience, l
should never solicit an ofice) These con-
siderations induce me to solicit the situation
which have the vanity to believe have
the capacity of filling with credit to myself
and the entire satisfaction of my constitu-
ents.
have been resident of Evansville for
the past thirty-nine years. have watched
with deep interest its progress from the
time it was but a diminutive village on the
borders of the wilderness, almost hidden
from view by the surrounding forests where
the wild beasts roamed almost without in
terruption on the plan where the most of
the city now stands, and what few cabins
there were were almost obscured by the sur
rounding jimpson weeds and dog fennel.
have followed to their last resting place
nearly all of my early contemporaries on
which | often reflect with a deep melanchol-
ly, mingled with some degree Of pleasure.
| have witnessed this diminutive village
grow into city of commercial Importance.
Whatever share have had in promoting its
growth and prosperity must leave you to
Judge. As this is the last time ever ex-
pect to solicit your suffrages, am in
hopes You will award them to me if you
think me worthy.

testimony taken, occupying some three solid
columns of that paper.
Among great number of acts-proving
frauds, inferentially-the evidence proves
by competent testimony, that (s46) eight
hundred and forty-six fraudulent votes were
cast for Barret in the August election. The
names of the fraudulent voters are given
AMI in large number of instances, their
residences are pointed out and the fact o.
