The report Of the Special Joint

is . paper Of absorbing interest, II
does NOT deal ID vituperatioD, and u "a
free from everything like defamation.
1t presents body Of evidences. and 0
connected series OF startling facts.
From these IL makes its deductions in
the shape OF distinct charges Of fraud
upon the State Treasurer, with strio-
tures upon Ills violation Of the law in
the mcde Of keeping and using tho in
terest fund Of the State. 1t iu u matter
OF grave consequence, involving the
liability Of tho State for large
amount, and rot only the reputation
of the Treasurer for vigilance, capacity
and honesty. bat likewise implioating.
with him, the late Chairman 0: shs
Finance Committee of the Senate, in
the charge OF dishonorable and disho-
nest funding OF bogus coupon bonds.
Without expressing any judgment
upon it at this stage of the investiga-
ton. we must bo permitted to say that
we have read with surprise several
newspaper articles in defence of the
Treasurer, which have tended rather
to weaken than to strengthen it. They
have sought to place him behind the
Governor, and to chill this investiga-
ton by pretending that it WAS an at
tack upon his administration. More
absurd. still, has been tho imputation
that it wss an attempt to disturb the
settlement Of the public debt. What
ever use interested parties may or may
not make OF it, it is in itself, in our
judgment, neither the one nor the
other. There is no internal evidence,
nor any other, that it is any part of the
''corruptionist's fight" against Gov.
Chamberlain, as said by the Ners and
Courier aud tho Union. Herald.
Were there no other reason for dis
crediting both these imputstions. the
names Of Dunn, Brayton and Meetzs,
signed to tho report, would be sufficient
to refute it. It would be funny, ill.,
deed, to stigmatige as corruptionist
movement. the effort to unearth what
is considered gigantic fraud, aud to
unmask an operator in the funds such
as. the ex-Chairman of the Finance
Committee. But we do not desire to
say anything more. We shall con.
scientiously considerand give all prope,
weight to whatever may be said in de.
nial OF these charges aad refatation oi
these damaging conclusions. Only lei
the Treasurer stand out like man and
face the responsibility which properly
attaches to him and not to the admi-
nistration of Governor Chamberlain.
1t was q fsvorite doctrine with him
last summer. that every department oi
the State Government was entitled to
be judged upon it's merits and not to
be condemned or approved in the
lump. Now is the time for it's upplica,
ton.
