Peryerse Lying.
There is an old maxim which reads, false in
one thing, false in all. The central organ of the
Republican party knowingly and w%illfully lies
for the single purpose OF covering up, or thereby
attempting to do so, the wickedness and corrup-
tons of the party it represents. We propose to
briefly notice a few of its Misrepresentation in
its issue of Thursday, a day set apart by the
President for religious ceremonies in view of the
recent victories Of the Federal armies, to illus
trate the infamous degradation it exhibits in its
apology and justification for the acts of the rep
resentatives of the party ia power.
LIE No. OSE-The court organ says: 1--WE
are informed that about $4,000 of it (the
School Fund is in New York. where it has no
more business than it has in Madagascar. What
is it there fori"
There is only about SI25, 900 in New York.
1t is in the hands of WINsLOw, LASIKR & Co /,
and they pay the fund 4 per cent per annum
interest for its use. All of this money. as we
understand, was placed there BY the predecessors
of the present Commissioners of tine Sinking
Fund. Will the court organ now insist that this
money was placed in New York. in the banking
house of The special friends of His Excellency,
O.. P. NJ, for the purpose of robbing the School
Fund-to swindle the children of Indi
ana out of their Just rights, to keep
a child's property contrary to law ;"
1t is very strange that MoRToS & Co. did not dis
own this great outrage. committed by their own
political and personal friends, until the present
time.
LIE NUMBER rwo.-The court organ says
Mr.. BEACH, chief clerk of the Board gets 81 300
year. He only gets 81 900 a year. Why does
it not tell the truth, when the lie is so easily ex-
posedl
LIE NUMBER THREE.-The court organ says
Mr. BEACH has been in New York some fire
months, that "he has not done thirteen days
work since he has been in office" Mr.. B. was
absent three months on account of i'll health.
The predecessor of Mr.. B. was JAMES NJ. RAY,
ESQ, and we only allude to his connection with
the Office to show the disgraceful and filthy course
of the central organ of the Republican party of
Indiana. Mr.. RAY. during the time he held the
position of chief clerk of the Sinking Fund, was
also cashier of the Bank of the State and the
old State Bank of Indiana. On account of i'll
health. Mr.. RAY visited Europe last year, and
was absent about screen months. he may have
spent most of the time in the pleasant occupation
of Catching trout and cancing," but no Demo
cratic paper had the littleness. the contemplate
meanness. to say that it was "not exactly the
way the people expect an officer to spend what
belongs to him. particularly when he refuses to
pay over to them half a million of dollars which
his oath and the law requires him to pay"
LIE NUMBER FoUR.-The court organ SAYS,
s'Mr. W. H. TALBOT. President of the Sinking
Fund Board, keeps in his hands FIVE hundred
thousand dollars, belonging to the children of
the State, which the law command him to pay
to them" The Journal knows, or could ascer-
tain by inquiring at the Sinking Fund office. that
Mr.. TALBOT has no money in his hands belong
ing to the Sinking Fund Every dollar Of that
fund has been distributed or has been invested
by him and the Board just as the law prescribes.
The bitterest political opponent of Mr.. TALBOT
will not question his integrity as an officer, and
for the many years he has been connected with
Tit rus uuQ anu DtDcNOlcDtl nrtitullDDc " tic
State no one has ever questioned the scrupulous
fidelity which has ever characterized the prompt
and unsel6sh discharge of the trusts confided to
him.
LIE NUMBER FIVE The venal court org; n
says "that one half million of dollars, belonging
to their children. are held contrary to law by
copperhead State officers. who spend the salaries,
which they are paid to do their duty, in running
away from their duty" This charge the Jour-
nal knows to be false in every particular. 1t
knows that the laws regulating the Sinking
Fund are strictly complied with. and that the
fluid is as safely invested, according to law, as it
possibly can be.
The officers of the Sinking Fund faithfully and
promptly discharge every duty intrusted to them.
This the Journal knows, yet to excuse, hide, or
palliate the gross NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and cor
~ruptions of its political friends in power, it will
%wilfully manufacture the most infa nous misrep
reservations of the action o. its party opponents.
The proprietors of the Journal kicked out the
editor of the paper to shield themselves from the
responsibility of his acts. and, after advising the

same position because they could find no one else
so apt and rsady to do the dirty work required by
the party it represents. Tn court organ pro-
fesses to be conducted by Christian men, upon
Christian principles; but if the father of lies and
liars has not got full possession of the concern.
we shall fail to believe that there is physical and
moral depravity upon earth. Individuals who
are willing to sacrifice their honor to escape the
payment Of a few hundred dollars will stoop 10
any depth of degradation to crafty either their
malice or their c~upidity.
