aHorV US II great ucal Oi pleasure lO puDllSn
Il note from you saying so. -.
To this notice, the Ohio Stttte Journal re-
piled in the following editorial
lfanything more dastardly than the fore
going has appeared in an Ohio Newspaper,
for ten years, it escaped our notice. Mark
its character. The coward who wrote it
does not make and charge. He insinuates
grave imputation and them impudently
proposes to take pleasure in the publication
of Il note from the gentleman insulted, deny
ing that there is cause for such insiuuation.
He knows that by this eXecrable course he
puts himself beneath the personal notice of
any man who eutertainS decent respect for
his own character, and he expects that he
has given OCCASION furdeclaration in the pot
house circles of his party that the State
Treasurer. has been unlawfully acquiring
money by means of his official station
When a political party must resort to such
hushwhacking, it is low indeed. The dregs
Of treason are not lower and the editor who
INDUCES in it is a disgrace to the profession
Decentralization resulting from sympathy
with slavery and anxiety for the success of
the slavery power, by means of rebellion,
could alone dcbase even an originally mean
character SO low. .... .'...
70 this we responded as follows: .....
There was nothing in our notice Of G. Vol
ncy Dorsey calculated to excite anybody's
wrath, unless the rumor to which We refer
red was bottomed on truth. The rulnor
was not created in The Statesman Office
1t came to us outside of the office, and We
thought it due to the public and to Mr.. Dor
sey, to state that such rumor was obtain
ing currency, and to give him an opportuni-
ty Of contradicting it through our columns,
if it were ttlse In these days of wholesale
swlndlng and corruption, of delalcations
and forgeries by men who have worn the
outside of unchallenged honesty, the affec-
tation Of wrathfui indignation is hardly up
to the demand of the occasion. 1t don't
meet the case. What is the history OF the
Treasury of Ohio? Bliss occounts were
not in a satisfactory condition when he left
it. Bresllh is in exile, because of misuse
of the funds in the Treasury; Gibson did
not leave it hoHorably; Stone is understood
to have left it carrying heavy load of La
bilities. The editor of the State Journnl,
by re-reading his editorial, will find that it
is all taken up in the apuse of the writer who
wrote the &C. polney Dorsey" editorial,
and that not one worlds said in retutaton
of the, ''lumor" or ''insinuation' therein
contained Undoubtedly, this was an acc-
dental omission; for we presume that the
editor of the ,SMfe Journal started out with
the intention of rcfutng it, or of saying there
was no truth whatever in it: buthis passion
he forgot it altogether The public have
no knowledge as to what the editor of the
Jomnat usually means; they accept his ed-
torals as rejecting his actual views, opin-
ions and knowledge in regard to any subject
upon which he may treat. This being the
case the editor of the SHfe .J0mn0k will
see that his editorial leaves Mr.. Dorsey. I'M
Intentionally, of course, in worse condition
than our editorial left him; and shall ex-
pect him to make distinct denial of the
truthfulness of the ''rumor or ''insinua-
ton referred to.
Since the publication of the foregoing,
once-a-weck we have called Mr.. Dorsey at
tcntion to the prevailing rumor of his mis-
use Of the funds of the State; but from him
we could get no response, nor could we get
any further response from the ,State Jomm-
al in relation to the matter The State
joauR0i of Wednesday, September 6, con-
tains the reportof Mr.. Odlin and VIM. Hen
ry Smith, Secretary of State, as special ex-
aminers of ''the condition of the State Trca-
sury." The character of that report, which
is long aud full of figures, can be accurately
obtained from the following editorial notice
oft by the State Journal: .......
PORT OF EXAMINERS.
We publish this morning a Report of
Hon. Peter Odin, of Dayton, and William
Henry Smith, Secretary of State, Special
Examiners under tn Iendepcndent Treasu-
ry Law Of Ohio, upon the condition OF the
State Treasury in June last. This publica-
ton is made in obedience to an order left by
Governor Brough with tis Private Secreta-
ry, previous to his departure from our city
on the 10Th of June, to his home in Cleve-
land, on account of premonitioDs of the
terrible suffering which caused his death. -
the Report was not concluded and signed
until the last week in August and was then
forwarded to Governor Brough at Cleveland
but his physical prostration was such as to
forbid the communicating to him Of its con-
tents. 1t was, returned toS Columbus for
publication, and was placed in the care of a
copyist for that purpose, when the news of
the death Of the Governor suspended work
upon it until the obsequies Of the Chief
Magistrate had been observed.
The allegation and erpostiOn of this re-
part WW dstoaiM the public 1t presents
full balance on all funds belonging to the
State and declares that no dcfst exists in
any fund; but 1t exposes the han,itiuting fact
Mat The 1redauet Of State has ab,,sed the
trust reposed In him By the peopk Of Ohio
has outruged the confidence Of the party By
tohtch he ,ods chosen Treasurer, and has no
Mted the ldH whhtch he score to obey wben
enterI upon hedaties Of oGicc. These aile.
cations are:
|. That by means of special coin dcpos.
it somebody is making interest from the
money of the State. 4
.. That assets found in the Treasury
were not Of the character required by law.
3. That large unauthorized balances have
been kept in the Ohio Valley Bank at Gin
cinnati.
4. That Bartlett & Smith, Bankers of
Columbus, had the use of $50, 900 from the
Treasury for one month, in lien of which
they we're permitted to deposit Seven thirty
U, 5. Bonds, upon which they received the
accruing interest
5. That the Treasurer of State removed
for private use $l6 600 Of the currency of
the Treasury, in lieu of which he deposited
Seven thirty IT, s. Bonds ($6,00O) and u.
s. certificates of indebtedness ($lO, ,OOO)
upon which he received the accruing inter
