| If we mistake not C. l. Walker, Esq is a Pro-
| lessor Of Law ia our State University II so, il
is important that he should be au abl,. exponent
not only q! the Common Law, but should also
| be able 10 understand, and, if need be. explain
any portion Of our municipal or Statute Laws.
| From evidence which We propose to ai,;uce
Professor 4. |. Walker is entirely unfit for the
| position which lie occupies a. Professor in that
| department..
! At "a" late State g INVENTION ot the pro--li 4
very Democracy, held in Detroit on the I'D
/ February last, Mr. G. | Walker, "a Chairman Of
the Committee on Resolutions, reported, among
numerous other f.Isehoods, the following Reso.
lntion
No :. ResoircI, That the neglect of the
late, a. well IS the present Auditor General. Ia
make the examination Of the Treasury required
by law, and report the result thereof to the
Governor, Cannot he recOuced with duty or
| honor, &c"
Now, if NJ. c. l. Walker has no better un.
dcrstaning of law than this Resolution would
indicate, then We say that he is entirely ncou.
petent aud unfit for the position which he occu-
Auditor General in reference TO this subject, and
which the Professor had in bis mind when he
pcnned the above Resolution, will be found on
page l@", Sec. u, Compiled Laws and on pages
81 and -, See. u, Revised Statutes of 1876
and reads a. follows:
He lthc Auditor GeneraD shall on the first
Tuesday in each month, and at any other time
when he may deem il necessary, examine the
Treasurcr's account of MONEYS received. and
moneys paid out by him; and If on examining
such account he shall discover any irregularity or
deficiency therein, he shall as soon thereafter rs
nav be, report in writing the nature and extent
OF such irresularity or deficiency 10 the Govern
or, 80 that the same may be submitted to the
Legislature, if in the opinion of the Governor.
the interest Of the State shall require it."
This section points ont the duties and powers
of the Auditor General in his monthly exanina-
ton Ofthe Trcasurers accounts. THE Treasury
as stated by the Professor Under this section
the late and present Auditor General have made
their regular and monthly examination OF the
Treasurers accounts, and compared the Treas
urers aocounf with the account kept By the
Auditor General, and found no rregulafity or De.
hciency in the Treasurer's account
All this the Professor knew, before ne penned
the tal>ehood contained in the Resolution, which
Resolution be must have penned aud reported
with the design of basely deceiving the people,
and maNcOgsly slaadering these two State Off.
GERS. If It IS answered that the Prote ssor is a
man who makes professions that would lead US
IN faur- l;- ;r..--or 70 Ia cI,.a, 81 l.o1;-.
and that he d.i not know the difference be.
tween examining the acc0HRts Of the Treasurer.
and examining the Treasury i;self-it in either
case proves him entirely unit for the Prof s.or.
ship which be holds
Since ne have exposed his incompetency, se
insist that duty to the Law Students of the
University demands of him TO tender bis re.ig-
nation of the Professorship at once. Will be
