Reply to Auditor Fuller.

Judge FULLER comes out in last weeks kephb-
licon with lengthy article which was designed to
be re,y sepere, very explicit, and very convincing
that he is very pink of perfection and that every
body who differs with him should be detested AL
though he took much care, and expended much
deep thought in bringing the "points " to view, Il
think his friends" " will fail to see them when
they peruse the article and fi,Id it to be wholly
pointless.
The Judges contortions and nexampled worm
ing in relation to the groundless charge he made
against me of allowing the Treasurer 2l1 per cent
for paying out moneys ETC., truly laughable to
see. After seeing that he had exposed his dishon
esty, or Ignorance, i'll charging me with making
such allowances, he than intimates that
should have instructed the Board not to have al
lowed it! never thought it any part of an Au-
ditor's duty to meddle him self with the business
of the Beard of Commissioners, further than to
record their proceedings, issue their orders, SC.
Should our Clerk Of the Circuit Court step So far
out of the line of his duty to argue with, at
tempt to instruct the Court on any question that
might be before it. presume that Judge OSBORNE
would invite him to take his seat and mind his own
business. And the Auditor has no more right to
instr ucf, or control the Board of Commissioners
than the Clerk of the Circuit Court has to instruct
or control the Judge. was much surprised that
man OF as pompous pretentons as the Judge, would
attempt to crawl out at small hole as that but
IT only proves that when man gets cramped, he
will resort TO expedients which, in less straight
ened circumstances would be positively revolving.
Were it not that the self-righteous Judge assumes
all godliness and knowledge, and refuses to be
comforted, his present humliating situation of
known falsifer, would elicit sympathy from his
i" friends did they not know that he would i'm
mediatey get into another cramp, if he was assis-
ted out of this one,
The Auditor asks
What inducued you TO take the lands belong
ing to the Rail Road Companies off of the Dupli-
cate BY this course your part, this county has
lost $2.5O0 or $4,000 which, with the amount So
700, principa! and interest illegally pocketed by
the Treasurer during your administration, would
make at least $4,000 the county has lost, etc.
To the above question have only to say that
the State Auditor authorized me to take the Rail
Road lands off Of the Tax Duplicate. Is this an
swer sufficiently explicit, Judgc7 Would you,
most righteous and all. wise Judge, not have done
the same thing if you had been so instructed by
the State Auditor
The Auditor says in another place: s
Now, my pious friend, tell the public in your
rejoindor to tkis why you have suffered some S2up
of interest on School Funds, to remain in your own
or the Treasurer's hands, which should have been
used for the education Of the children of this
county ~
This charge the Auditor knew was false when
he made it. The WAR THOMPSON interest ($59)
is all their is any proof of being either in my hands
or the Treasurer's and the Treasurer's recent
shows that the money not paid to me. The
Judge has frequently charged by implication and
otherwise, that have interestin my hands paid by
different individuals, at divers times. He asks
what become of the interest paid by JErrHA Dish.
ER, Asa B. WIcxIzER T. X. HoUoHros, o. M.
BARNARD, and others. Mr.. DIsHER's and Mr.. BAR
NARD's interest was regularly entered on the Re-
ceipt Book in the Auditors Office and charged to
the Treasurer, as it should be. want the Judge
to remember that the interest paid by WAR
THOMPSON, JErrHA DIsHER, A. B. WicKrsER, aid
q. M. BARNARD, is all accounted for, and ia 10

lie on this subject, account ofhavng II 90 thor

We shall see If the Judge has honesty enough to
take back the charge that have funds in my
hands which the record shows have NOT. have
had an intimation that the Judge has given re-
ceipt for the interest on Asa B. WfcxIzxR's loan,
and still charges me, by inuendo, Of having re-
ceived the money and kept it! man who is so
palpaby dishonest in his actions. as the Judge has
been in this matter. is fit only for stratagem and
