Trustee Shipley, of Morgan County, Found
'Not Guilty" by q Jury.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARTINsvILLE. May 13-The case of the
State of Indiana VS.. Jacob A Shipley trustee
of Gregg township, in this county, which has
been on trial for several days before jury, with
Judge Hord, of Shelby county, presiding, ended
this morning by the jury returning a verdict of
mot guilty" The defendant was charged with
having conspired with the notorious Frank Pol
lard to issue fraudulent bonds of his township
for the purpose of obtaining money from Walter
Stanton, of New York city, and other
persons unknown to the grand jury.
Under the evidence, and the instructions of the
court the Jury could not do otherwise than
acquit the defendant. as the proof wholly failed
to establish conspiracy so far as Shipley was
concerned This ends the bond cases so far as
Morgan county is concerned.
The sureties on Shipley's official bond de-
fsated Stanton in the United States Court in
the suit to hold them liable. It is conceded by
all that there is no liability against the town
ship, and Stanton is left with his bogus bonds as
a reminder of his foolishness in dealing to such
an extent in such character of paper.

Cases in Which Postmasters Were Suspended
for Political Reasons.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The report of the
case of s. R Davis, to be postmaster at Cres-
ton Ia, vice L. c. iced, suspended is made
public. The committee called for. and received
from the Postmaster general, all the papers in
the case.
ut appears" the report says, from TIE pa
pers and documents thus submitted to the COM
mittee and from letters and papers communi-
Gated to it by the suspended officer and others,
that there is nothing in the case calculated to
place discyedit on Mr.. Teed, either as an officer
or a man. The only complaints made against
his administration of the Office rather to his
credit than otherwise, inasmuch as they are
based on his strict observance of the law and
the regulations of the department.. The case is
one of suspension for political reasons Offensive
partisanship is abundantly charged, and the
nominee seems to have understood that it rested
on that basis, and he evidently recognizes that
as the controlling element in the case"
The nomination of Mr.. Davis was reported
favorably Mr.. Tsed having expressed no wish
to retain the Office but simply desire that his
character as an officer and a man should be pro-
tected.
The report in the case of W. y. Lewis, to be
postmaster at Charlton, Ia, vice j. H. Stewart,
suspended is also made public The committee
obtained all the papers in this case and says that
they show it to be case of offensive partisan
ship, there being in the papers nothing against
Stewart as a man officer. Lewis is found
to be "a proper and competent man. and is
reported favorably.

His Resignation Is at the Disposal of the
President at Any Time.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, May BIN spite Of the asser
tions made from time to time to the effect that
Secretary Manning is on the rapid road to re-
covery, and that he expects to return to the
Treasury Department to resume the duties of
his Office, it is known to his friends that he has
no such idea, and that his resignation is at the
disposal of the President whenever he sees fit to
accept it. Inasmuch as Mr. Mannings appoint
ment was the only personal one made by Cleve-
land. and that the Secretary of the Treasury
was the only man in the Cabinet known to
Cleveland at all when he was elected to the
Presidency, it is natural that he should desire TO
retain him in the Cabinet as long as possible
Mr.. Manning's friends and physicians, however,
are emphatic in their opinion that he should
not remain, and it is not likely that the Secreta
ry will ever again resume the duties of his posi-
ton. That he will still be a power in national
politics, however 1t is not necessary to assert
During his incumbency of the office Of Secretary
of the Treasury he has shown himself to be a
man of marked executive ability and Of great
powers as financier. The President will lose
his most competent adviser when Secretary
Manning retires, which will certainly be within
a short time. All sorts of rumors are current as
to his probable successor, and it is asserted that
a complete reorganization of the Cabinet is pro-
jected Among The names mentioned for Mr..
Manning's position are those of the Pres
ident's quondam friend, Dan Lockwood, of Buff
falo, but your correspondent is assured most
emphatically by Lockwood's friends that the
President has no Office in his gift which the Buff
falo man would accept under any consideration.
There is difference between them which can
not be healed, and Lockwood is never seen in
the White House now. Mr.. Fairchild is the most
likely man to receive the appointment, and he
will, in all probability be selected for the honor
There is reason to believe that the President has
thought frequently of the advisabiity OF pro-
noting Commissioner of Patents Montgomery
to Cabinet position, aud in event of the reor-
ganization of the Cabinet this gentleman may
be either Attorney general or Secretary of the
Interior He would make a good official in
either place. and would undoubtedly be a credit
to the country as well as to the party.
