Yours Truly, ;. W. Ar. JOHN,
We are informed that Mr 81. JonS stated IN
his examination hciorc the Investigating cum
wiltco that he MONT 10 %, riy'tin tic discharge
of his uflicial'dutic,, but may have erred Now
we say the above bears evidence upon It's face
that he meant 10 DO urosJ Hnd that he did the
wrong knowingly, wiltully and cerruruy. In
the first place hc kssle he had no authority to
either dircct or ask the Auditor 10 that manner
TO draw an order upon the treasury. Hc Larr
tho only proper and legal way to ,to 1t was by
M order or resolution entered upon the journal
II the Commissioners at regular on apcctal sos
siun Of those ufliccrs liz kar,c TINT neither law
ar Justice authorized the payment or attorneys
fees 10 LEE in the contest case out Of The
public treasury, aud he confcssrs lhothc so knew
when he says, I'll will stand for that amount lr
Russell will not sign" The pain rendering Of
which, II, we will sWindlc the oounty ont Of the
$3.50 IL VIC can, but il VIC can not, :" viii stand
it," Had it been right, or had no even bciisrcd
it to be right to appropriate the public money to
that purpose, the thought would meyer have uc-
Cured tu him u put In the condition ho did.
when he SAYS, al think Il will be all right" &c.'
he evidently has In view the signing Of RrssELL
aud thereby furnishing the authority to NEWTON
ts draw the order.
And Why does hc suggest that hc will get
a 1l,.I., a.,
IEAUER. Simply because these two have trans
actsd all the business ia relation TO removal, tho
erection public buildings, the Appropriation o'
thousands Of dollars therefor without the con-
sultaliun with or even the know ledge ofthe lat
Ter. Their deliberations upon that suffice, have
been secret eith the Auditor, 50 that citizens Of
Perry sburg should not knor what they wcr1
duing or what they intended 10 do. touring that
acknowledge OF their schemes might lead to their
defeat. Was ia the way ia which honest oil.
GERS ,ln tic public business Far from IL
And'w-dlay thctc is nocntry upon that jour
nal authorising the Auditor to draw that order,
aud il there was, it would beuo authority to him
rs he well knows they had no legal right 10 use
ihs public money for that purpose. As ln hon
est officer he would have refused tadraw the or
der and at once made public this cntemplated
fraud upon the treasury. Why dill he dn tho
wrong and neglect to do the iight1 Our an.
swcr is, lis sympathics were with Bowling
Green. Aud Why With Bowling Green Be-
cause he thought the majority was with It and
hc must sttiliate with aud AID Bowling Green TO
secure recollection, or election To somo other
Office. Like every other oGce seeker lac was
willing 10 sacrifice integrity 50 that he might,
t,ereby, stand at the public crib, We arI ad-
visOi he now saws, rather than have any cdnten-
tim over the $3.50, he will return il To tho treas
ury ont ofhis own pocket, thereby showing CON
eiusiveiy that he knew he was committing a
iriad upaa The iTeasary whcu he drew tue order.

note of ST. JeuA's Mas cOnehed. Up,u this point

We d. not Wish our readers to infer from the
farrSoing that We consider RvsssLL innocent in
this matter, for we eertainly lo no aud OF which
fact they my be convinced hereafter,
