traffic between the Gulf and the heart of

Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-07-17

A Democratic friend of Colonel Mrzrprru
sends US the following article from the Delphi
Times. and desires its publication:
We notice very spicy card published in the
State Sentinel from the pen Of Colonel Solomon
Meredith, in which he shows up our George W.
Julian, the Republican member of Congress in
the Burnt District. in no very creditabe light. 10
seems that Julian has been going out OF his way
20 attack Colonel NJ. and the Colonel comes
back at him in fine style. He says that the i'm
maculste George has "wilfuly and deliberately
hed'-that he (George) is "a great coward. and
submits. with the utmost humility, 10 any indig-
nifty that may be inflicted upon hm"-that he 10
miserable failure" And finally the Colonel
winds mp az follows: ''In conclusion. denouncs
this man. and publish him TO the world az q cow
ard. liar and humbug. who should receive
kick from every honest man who passes him."
This is pretty strong, and We think jusf. We
have noticed an attempt on the part of certain
politicians and newspapers 10 slur Col. Meredcth.
BY making invidious remarks upon bic appoint
ment. Now we think that this Is all unjust and
ungenerous, and much Of this feeling We can nos
but think proceeds from jealousy and envy. We
have never belonged TO the political party 70
which Col. M. belongs. and therefore can have
no sympathy SO far that is concerned. but We
have always heretofore heard him spoken Of As .
high minded gentleman. and clever fellow gen
orally. We all know that NJ agriculturist and
stock raiser, he has been Of immense benefit 10
the State .f
We predict. now. that when the time for trial
shall come that Col. Meredeth will be found
brave and skillful commander. and that the fame
Of the Indiana Volunteers will never be furnished
by any act Of his.
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-07-17

Congress devoted last Tuesday to tributes to
the memory of the departed statesman ofIllinois
In the Senate eloquent and feeling euogums
were delivered by Msssrs. TKurBuLL, McDou-
GAL. CoLLAxKR. NEsNIrH, BRowSISG and An
rHosr; and in the House by Messrs RICHARD
son, McCLERSASD, CxIrrrNDES, Cox, DIvrx, Ar
MOLD, Law, WIcKLIrrE and FouKE. How strange
is human nature, The very men who had de-
nounced the great Senator while living as dem
agogus, for being governed by unhallowed am
btion, and as willing to sacrifice the country to
promote his personal Advancement, now weave
garlands most beauteous, truthful and fitting for
HIS tomb. One former opponent thus closes his
tribute to his late antagonist:
On the 7th day of June last all that remained
Of our departed brother was inferred near the city
Of Chicago, on the shore of Lake Michigan, whose
pure waters, often lashsd into fury BY contending

Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-07-17

At the extra session Of the Legislature, Messrs.
MELLErr, BRASHAx and BRITT were appointed a
committee to audit all accounts against the State
for expenditures under the act appropriating a
million of dollars for military purposes. The
Auditor of State refused to recognize the authori-
~ Of this committee under the advice Of At
torney General JoSEs and Governor MoRros,
upon the ground that the Legislature had tran
scended its powers in comforting such duties upon
a committee composed of its own members to sit
during the recess of the Legislature. and that It
infringed upon the duties con6ded to the Auditor,
and for the faithful discharge of which he was
held responsible. The issue came up in the Com
mon Pleas Court Of this county, and Judge Co
BURN decided against the authority of the commit
tee. An appeal was taken 10 the Supreme Court,
and yesterday that tribunal reversed the decision of
the lower Court Under this decision the COM
mittee will have exclusive power to pass upon all
accounts under the act referred to. We under
stand that the Auditor, in the meantime, has
taken the responsibility to audit all claims pro
sented and to issue warrants for those approved
A large amount has thus been paid. We are
not advised as to whether the Auditor will be re-
sponsibIe, under the embezzlement act, for thus
drawing money from the Treasury without the
authority Of law. We shall now see whether this
act was really designed to guard the Treasury
from a misappropriation of the public funds By
the officers of State, or merely passed for bun
combe. This measure Was recommended and ap-
proved by Governors AoRros and LANE, and the
Republican members OF the Legislature generally.
