Hon. W. H.

TliU was niv first knowledge of the cae. ilr- llord tut4.th.'it the cae had been passed upon by the Court. Tba pa iter con-i-aed of a complaint, demurrer to complaint, atuwer and demurrer to aner, and of an entry in the handwriting of the Attorney (isneral.reciiing the over ruling of the iHmurrer to the complaint, the su taining the demurrer to the answer, and the juilgment of the Court that writ of m mdate issue of in conformity with the prayer of the compUint. The Attorney General wanted me to quit my other work und make the entry in the orderbook itumeuistelv. which I refined to do, and told him that the transcript could rot be made then, un'.e-i it was made from the original papers, and before ihe entry was made in the order-book. Mr. Hord replied that he would take it in that was, I supp i-ed it w all right, and that every thiou: h id been ordered by the Court. The papers were then taken to the Clerk' office and from them a transcript was inide out and certified before any tep in the case had been entered upon the order book and before the m:n utew bad been read or signed. A soon the as transcript could be completed in thU mode, it was handed the Atton.e (Jener !, who wa waiting at the Cle-ik ollice for it ; he said n be recciret! it. that he howl to get a decision in the .

The very distinguished Attorney General promptly appeared on the othcrsidc and an agreed cae was made to te sUMnitted to the Supreme Court. Judge Finch decided that the iniere.-a rn'ist be paid, whereupon an appeal wa tkcn by t!i Attorney General to the Si,reue Court. This is the haven in which the repuJi ators expect to find shelter. e Tear th.it our elegant ineno, tne I resident, will be suspected of a sharp practice in this nutter. We fear that malicious feorle will ay it is only a vcheme to procure a decision of the Supreme Court to bolster up the Attorney General, and prevent the Treasurer from paying the iuterest. We fear that suspicious people will say that the Attorney General is managing both tdJea of this case, and that the case is not intended for investigation but for indorsement Riid a pretext fur what is already determined on. a There are sme things the Supreme Court cannot do, and ot.e is to make Ford'n opinion respctable or m ike the people believe that it is honeat. If you don't believe it. gentlemen judges, try it, and you will get the word repudiators ' written nil over you with itnlcliole ink." On the s:imo day, that you might have an opportunity ol pitMMiting your views in the casein the Supreme Court, Messrs. Raxd & Hall, addressed you the following note:' Inmanapolis, May in, 15G3. Hon.

When the case had procreled t this pj"nt, I was inlormed that Judge Finch. ujku examining the complaint, had arrived at the conclusion that it did not how such facts as authorized the issuing of the writ, anil desirel the case pre- - i-i - - til .,m ;,.. tint he mi-ht usuin mv demurrer to the complaint, instead of overruling it as s dore in the fir4 entry.

In the Journal vf Hay 16, 163, is an editorial giving an account of the proceedings with its usual fairness.

The miitake is explirel in the ubirquent ac tion of the Court. The Judge, upon examining the comp!a:nt. was of the opiidun that it was :nsufllcient, and therefore charged the ruling that had been made. . Both cases being thus io the Supreme Court, ! your view of the case was preented by Mesrs. Kamd & Hall, who filed a brief, and al-o your ponderous and log!cl letter to Mr; Win&low, and by Hon Jostrii E. McDonald, who repre sented the bond-holders, who made au elaborate oral argument. The cai-es were then decided, and opinions delivered, that appear in il'hh lud. The. Court held that no money could be tiken from the treasury without an appropriation bill ; that thee was no appropriation to pay the interest on the public debt, atid the officers of State had no au thority to pay it. The sut ject involved in this controversy was one of vast importance involving the honor of the State. It wai the proper subject for judicial discussion, it was a matter that could only be fettled definitely by the court. I have shown, I think, by the testimony of your own political friends, that the uits, origi luted in good faith, were instituted publicly and :u the uual manner; that they were in the Su pre.ne Court legitimately, and that all the proceedings in that Court were such as to result in a lull and fair investigation It id not my province to attempt to prove that the judges were hotiet iu the conclusions' arrived at by them, snd, until some belter evidence than your ojtinum is produced of their w int of integri ty, their personal and political friends will not enter the li-t. As to the correctness of their conclusions their opinions are published. If you feel capable of proving them unsound, why not. like a manly j gentlern.-tii, undertake the task, inste id of seeking to excite ill-feeling Hgainst them personally, by charges and iusinu ations that you know to be untrue?

At the election in JfSD one lln.L had his name placed on ihe ballots in several counties ns a candidate for Secretary of State, and received iu some 1C counties about l.OOO votes out of the 2UÜ.000 caet in the State at that election. No notice was given of a vacancy or of an election to be held for the oftice, and there was no opjo.ing candidate. Col. C. L. Dunham held the ollice of Secretary of State by appointment of the Governor to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Major McCliue after the October election iu l. At the election iu lb58 McCli n; was elected Secretary for two ears fiom the ldh of January, 105'J. He did not qualify, nor decline the oftice in any njanner whatever. The commission was not tendered to him under that election by the Governor, neither had he ceased to be a resident of the State. Under the election, the circumstances of which we havenoted.
