@. VoLSKr DoRsKT thinks il exceedingly IN
kind that the Governor Of Ohio should declare
hIs otice vacant for violating the law Of the
State providing for the safe keeping OF the public
revenue and in a letter TO the Governor be SAYS
he deems il best to prevent any embarrassment
70 the public service 10 resign What sudden
regard does this "loysl" DoRsEr exhibit for the
public interests The Journal. feeling most
xsenly the embarrassment that the action OF the
Ohio officials, all Republicans, occasions our
"patriotc" Governor, comes to his relief By
apologiIing for bis violations CT his oath Of
Office upon the plea Of public necessity. This is
the usual apology for all usurpations OF power
There il but little If any difference in the offense
Of the loyal Dorsey and the patriotic"
Mosros. The latter admits that be run the
machine Of State Cd bis "Own account" and
the former run the Treasury Of Ohio on hi. own
acsoun.-and both had the same purpose in so
doing. their own sggrandizemsnt.
The Journal in spoogzing for the Governor
resiates the oft exploded misrepresentation that
the Democratic majority in the House a, the SEES
sion Of the Legislature il 1863 refused to pass
the usual appropriation bills. and the constitution
al period Of the session expired without the com
plssion Of any important legislative measures.
And Why The reason the Journal fails 10 tell.
The Republican members of the House the sec
ond week before the expiration OF the session
seeded, ran away aud lsft that body without a
constitutional quorum 10 pass any bill, upon the
~ n = A. N.
would have passed il the rebslliors minority had
returned even upon the last day OF the session
that bills could have been constitutonaly acted
upou But this they refused TO DO for revolu
tionsry purposes. The Journal says the
plot to usurp the military power Of
the State and substantially depose the Gov
ernor from office, defeated by the firm
ness Of the minority of the House OF Represen-
tstives" That's all gsmmen No such plo,
was entertained Blu, what is the argument Of
the patriotic" Governor ard his adjunct, the
Journal, in regard 20 the gGeat crime Of the re-
bsllion7 Have they not said thousand times
that il was the refusal TO submit to an Admins
trstion elected BY constitutional majority, al
though in minority of the entire voter Had
not q constitutional majority OF the Legislature
Of Indians-and be il remembered they were
elected in ls62-ihe right 10 pass such laws as
they deemed best for the public interssssl Upon
their Own argument, the Republican minority OF
the House at the session Of 1863, committed
the sams crime and for tho Same reasons tina,
insugurated the rebellion against the General
Government. The rebels were unwilling to sub
nj, 90 the legal majority; they ~snted 10 run the
machine on their own account. just IS did the
patriotic" MoKroS and the loyal" Dorsey
The rebels have been punished for their contu-
macy; the loyal" DORsEY il in fair way oil
getting bis just deserts Tor violating bis oath si
what difference is his ofenss and that of His pa
triotie" EIcelencyt
The Journal, representing the patriotic" Gov
ersor. has good deal OF fault to 6nd with Messrs.
RIsrISR aud Barr. for disbursing money during
their administration without special appropria-
lions having been made therefor in pursuance Of
law By referring to the acts of 1865, page So.
there will be found "a statement showing in de-
tail the amounts drawn upon the General Fund
during the two fiscal years ending October 81
1864" IL will be remembered thai the Legisla-
ture of 1863 made appropriations. Upon
looking over this statement, we find that from
November 1. 1862, to October 81, 1853 there
were sighty-two warrants drawn upon the Gen
sral Fund, thirty three Of which were drawn upon
the order of The Governor. From November ?,
1863, to October 81 1864. there were one hun
dred and forty three warrants drawn upon the
General Fund. aud only eighty t,rO of which were
drawn upon the order Of the Governor This
demonstrates that His patriotic" Excslency
had not the slightest modes.y in putting bis long
arms as deep into the Treasury as he possibly
could
One word about the psblie printing We have
not drawn one dollar from the Treasury eIcsp,
in pursuance OF the Constitution and the LAVE
under Just a. good authority as OLvkK 2. Mon
TOY drew bis one hundred ard fifteen orders upon
the General Fund during the same period. The
Journal has something &c say abos; printing,
binding and stretching" If We trangressed the
Law in any way in executing the public printing
esasure comes with i'll grace from concern
which is performing the work precisely as We
did IL what the Journal calls stretching" is q
q crime, then by stretching" the JcurHsl Com
PAW admit themselves to be rasssls. This is a
sequence they force upon themselves. We ad-
wise our mel ghoor to say little as possible about
printing. for comparisons sometimes are exceed
ingy odious, as they viii find by little expert.
