Auditor Aliens Case in its Proper
Light


Much ado has been made by the Hastings
Court over the official conduct of Auditor 5.
Brown Allen in the matter Of the Smelling
bond, as though Col. Allen, pure and incor-
ruptible public officer, has been guilty OF inl-
propriety and wrong.
There is not an honest man in Virginia,
Funder or Readjuster, who does not know
that this assault on Col. Allen, though by
Bourbon Funder court. is u kind Of an offset
TO the prosecutions set on foot in the United
States Court by District Attorney Wise against
the Richmond clique, who, under the garb OF
honesty and honor, have been guilty OF hlgh
crimes against the people.
Here is man who, man and boy, has lived
until now honOred and respected by all who
know him, and whom Bourbonism has singled
out As kind of sacrifice for their own great
wrongs, and as kind of counterblast against
the high crimes and msdemeanors that they
themselves have committed. We assert as
fact that Mr.. Massey appointed many col
leciors Of delinquent taxes who gave no bonds
at eli ; and 1t Is a further fact that many col
lectors' bonds are not on file in the Auditors
Office now.
Mr.. W. r. Smith, the first clerk in the Audi
tors Office who has been in that Office for over
twenty years, and who has acted as clerk
under Auditors Bennett, Taylor, Massey, and
is now clerk under Auditor Allen, testified be-
fore the grand jury that many collectors had
never given bonds at all, and that the bonds
of many Of them arP not now and never haye
been on file in the office.
How plain ID thercasa. Auditor Allen is
bonded officer To the Commonwealth, in the
penalty Of $4,000 for the faithful discharge
Of his duty be is the ,finauelal officer of the
State aud be Is responsible for all the acts of
appointed By him. If default was
made by ME- Smelling Col. Allen alone could
be looked 70 for redress. Hewould have taken
no bond at all If he had seen I'll, the bond being
for his own protection, and no one could have
il. But the fact 10 that Mr. |
Smelling made no default. He paid over to |
the Auditor every dollar of taxes he received,
and noman caa7pus his finger OH one cent of
default that he has committed. 1t is all 6osh
al huyTah- 1t is the cry of stop thief stop
thief! by r0bber who, under cry of stop
Ihief! is himself committing the robbery.
The law requiring q bond is merely directory, |
md it was solely matter with the Auditor to
require or snOta bond ~ The bond was mat
er OF torn. Mr.. Smelling went to the Auditors
,ffice and paid up in full and demanded his
,Ond. Why not surrender IT,? Who wanted
t? 1t was paid off and discharged, and there
vas no reason or rule that required its deten-
ion, The Simon Pure Boss Of Bourbonism
lever did make rule Of keeping the law
What Is wrong in Allen was, i'm Bourbon esti-
nation, all rhythm Taylor and Massey.
Oh! shame ON such shallow persecution of
>ol. Allen as this Hastings Court has on foot
