County Affairs
To E. BlMatyEtq.You have made several attack* "n
I hdvo not time and space now to go into dutuil on our policy and action on the v&rious'ciaitts that have come before u«, but wiii notice at more length our action on your claim against the county and content myself with reiterating what v/e taid on a former occasion "That we had been addressing-ourselves seriously and earnestly to the task of curtailing County expenditures,'' and it occurs to me if you do not know this you bav6 taken some pains in your researches and inquiries at the Auditor's office, not to know it. We don't care to be oar own eulogists, but respectfully ask our friends to make inquiries at the proper place.
Your zeal in behalf of the tax payers is all right. Whoever acts efficiently in lessoning our burdens, National, State or county,deserves the highest consideration. Our burdens are heavy and are likely to continue so for some time, and your efforts, whether well directed or not, show at least a good intention on your part,
You have harped a good deal on Mr. Cora well's allowances, because he got more money than you did. Messrs. McReen, Markle, Commissionera of expenses passed the greater part of Mr. Cornwell's allowances. County expenditures are an ually published. An old Auditor readily sees and understands any increase of pay to county officers. If your suspicions were aroused that any thing was wrong in Mr. Cornwell's allowances, or allowances to others, why nid you not say so to these men You cannot doubt that they would have received your advice with pleasure, and if deemed right, would have aoted on it for you say More honest and better men you never knew." It w/w not necessary that you should assail them through the press,thatjthey huve nomotive to act other wise than right. This would have show you the efficient friend of the tax-payer, and not thrown that suspicion over you Zeal which your present conduct has ex cited. Why have you waited till the last bill of cornwell's was audited and your own claim rejected and paid before you opened on expenditures and misrepre sented tho present Board You have heard of the man who locked the stable afier the horse was stolen. Was it be cause you could not get tbat fine fat horse out of the stable Did we guard the door too careful or did we scrutinize your account so loosely that you thought it incumbent on you, publicly to lecture us in your article of July 12tb, on the necessity of carefully examining the. ac counts presented against the County.' We shall understand this bettor when I take up your claim in detail. When Mr. Brown and myself called on you for some information about the management of the Poor-House of the County, which you kindly gave us, why did you not then warn QS about Cornwell's allowances, for this was before our settlement with Mr, C. How easy then for you to havp promoted the interests of the tax-payer by pointing out these erroneous allowances But no warning, friendly or otherwise, comes from you till your claim is dis allowed But, forsooth, you attempt to thru6t your own hand into the Treasury, and wlun we say "hands off, Mr, Allen," Proteus like, you immediately step forth tho champion of the tax-payer. With these preliminary remarks I purpose to show the public what your claim was and the manner in which we disposed of it. You asked permission to withdraw your claim after it had been disallowed, which was granted. I do not know that tha cUim or a copy is on file. But I can state tho character but not the precise amount of each item. As follows: $3,C0 per day for attendance on the Commissioners Coart during your term of office, over $300,00. 10 cents per order, for orders of rocurd during your term of office, over $500,00.
Sup-.-riniendiiiar fading the Public square, a::d repairs of deck's Office, between $200 and $300, say $250,00.
Tho sove'.'ui items foot up over eleven hundred dollars. Your claim as you first filed it at tho March term was over $400. It was for your services as Coucty Agent during your Mr a. W0 discussed it some and continued it to tho June term. You objected to a continuance and wanted a decision at the March term. I wished to look over your allowances and see what light would be thrown on the subject.— Wa« it wrong to continue rouf case for the purpose of "carefully examining the accounts presented against the County yet you objected to a continuance. ^Wo had not-time then for the examination.— At the June term your claim had taken a second growth, and swelled to over eleven, hundred dollars. This waa tho claim adjudicated on and decided by ui. It was sufficiently itemized and duly sworn to by you as a just claim against the county. This was our decision on the claim. The item of
^o5.#w»p .SS^tC -^siaiWrssss-r Lik. -f ^, v-
the
Coutty CommiMionirs through the columns of the Terra Haute EiraEss-some over your own name and some over the signature of "Vigo." You and the public wiii have to excuse me for not giving eriier attention to them. I had been busy *ith my cropa and had not seen all of the article* till last Saturday. Iam not going to enter into a newspaper controversy if I can avoid H. You hare seen proper to attack »e through the paper, and we have no alternative but to defend oureelves or remain silent. It ie a duty eve* ry man owes to himself to protect his rep-, uUtion Bgaintt unjust assaults. This duty is boine times better performed by silence than reply. There is much in your communications that would justify the former course.' Had the newspaper have given a full statement of our policy and actijn on the subject ef retrenchment in county expenditures, or had you done the same thing and given a truthful statement about your claim against the county, I should have been content to let the putlic judge without one word from me.
por day for attendance on court we •bowed you was not authorized by law. That the law giving $3 per day had no, existence during your term of office bat ww passed by the Legislature in 1866. We now recognize the full force of your admonition to the Commissioners "to carefully examine the claims presented against the county/' -. For in this case you have furnished the strongest evidence on record for the necessity of so doing.— Your ten cents per order lor orders of record, we showed you that you had charged and received pay by the 100 words for thoje orders and we thought thHt tbat was the true construction of the la#, and that you were not entitled to this additional amount. These items be* long to the Auditor's office and not to county agency. The other item for superintending the grading and repairing are properly county agency matters, and were thus disposed of. The 25th section of the act regulating the duties of the Commissioners, authorizes the Board to allow the Auditor for extra services a sum not exceeding $100 per annum. This law, it appears, had been repealed in 1855, but its repeal bad not been noticed. Under this law you bad been receiving your $100 per annum, so also, had Mr Corn well. Wo sett off this money thus received contrary to the law against your claim for county agency. We do not doubt that you and Cornwell and the former Commissioners were ignorant of the repeal of the law. We did not discover its repeal in time to apply JitJ to MrCorn well's allowance of $250 for County Agency. But we did discover it in time to apply it to your case. You should) therefore, give us some credit for "carefully axamining," &c.
This might suffice as to your claim' but you have seen proper to make some statements in your last article ol July 18 which have not been replied, t: which I ehall proceed to correct. You say, "Mr Cornwell has told me repeatedly, that ho told the Board at tbe time they made this allowance, that I was entitled to pay for the 6ame service?, and I know when they made Mi. Cornwell this allowance they were aware that I would present an account for a similar service." Here is a charge and an equivocal atatementof a fact and us such I meet it. Wnat Mr. Cornwell told you I do not know. But I shall be surprised if Mr, Cornwell sustains your statement. That I knew,at that time, or had any suspicion that you had any, or a similar claim is untrue In this rceollettion the ard are uuanimous. At no time from the lirst intimation of your claim, to its final decision, did you say to me, or to the Board in my hearing, that we had any such knowledge. Your first intimation, and that after our settle•ment with Mr. C., was that you was going to filo a claim that would
open
You say you only asked on your claim $1,100, an amount equal to your agency claim originally filed for $405 50
In this we think you are also mistaken While we wore pruning your claim think you remarked tba\ you did not expect tbe whole of it,but no precise sum was named. There are no items in your account on which we could fix tbat precise amount.
It is as much our duty to allow just claims as it is to reject unjust ones. We think we done our duty in this case and aro satisfied with our decision. This being a paying office, and one subsequent ly sought by you, our decision has worked no hardship.
If you are in favor of curtailing coun ty expenditures, you are with us, there nesd be no controversy on that point.— But in your claim against the county we aro on opposite sides. You wanted large sum of money from the county for past services as Auditor. We did not think the county owed you any thing on the caso made, and so decided nevertheless we now thank you, in tho name of the county, for your recent gift to her of this claim,and if you
nto not ignorant of

Not that our eyes were open. And when on the final decision, you wore put to it to say something hard of the Commissioners as, "What of this allowance to Cornwell-,'1 "that you would make it cost the County five thousand dollarsyou did not say that wo had any such Knowledge of your claim. After your claim was filed the Board consulted together, and expressed their regrets that thoy had not known of your claim before acting on Mr. C's. We also debated on the propriety of -suspend ing the order of allowance to Mr. C' but found, on inquiry, that ho had drawn his money Judge then, {sir, of the confi dence we had in our own recollection-.
our
efforts to reduco county expenditures and tVie difficulties we have encountered—your attack on us is one of unparalleled impudencfc In your efforts to throw blame on the Commissioners you have stated what is not true, and in making out and swearing toyour claim Against the coun ty, you havt shown a carelessness and recklessnets tb« is not praiseworthv, as we have Bhown thove.
I have been pained to make these re marks, for I have bat no unkind feelings towards you and no deling now, other than of regret at your cot*se.

BARBOUR
Brazil and the BrasillaBs
EDITOR It is expected of excur-
lior.ists that ihfy shall furnish an account of their travels. I have been to Brazil. You want to hoar about it. So does evervbody In such case if would not be right to refuse.
Well, on that cool, lovely morning of the 30th of July, in company with a gentleman whose broadjbrimmed straw hat covers a broad, genial face, tho reflection of a generous soul within, and with the proper compliment of ladies, we embarked on tho.
T. a. I. H.
It is customary for correspondents to offer their tribute of respect, it wouldn't do to say flattery, to the railroad officials from "President down to brakesman."— In tbe same strain I might exclaim, that my profonnd gratitude and wonderful
Sc.
It is
probable that the President was enjoying his morning nap at this early hour, jostaa a railroad President should do. The officials next in rank would naturally oome in for their share of laudation, but I know them and I know their modesty. Hut it is always proper to speak of the whole* souled Conductor. This was an accommodation train, and he accommodated us by waiting until wo got our seats. Then when started, as he came along and silently held out his hand, I deposited a bill and he gave me back the correct change. I noticed that the brakesman turned the brakes wbenj.he train stopped, and the tone of his voice was proper when he announced tbe stations. In a short time we were safely landed at the next depot at Brazil. What more could be required of any railroad than that I am satisfied, and hereafter when I go to Brazil I shall patronize this road.
THE BRAZILIANS,
We were warmly welcomed by Mends, and after a short chat, we walked up town and saw several of our former fellow-citi zens, who are evidently thriving in this enterprising place. There is plenty of work going on, and we see no blue faces. All are inspired with a faith in the futureAnd well they may, as I think you will admit when you see what I have seen. Our friend I. B. R. then brought out his buggy and behind as handsome a nag as will be shown at cur next State Fair, we rode through tbe clear, bracing air out east on the National Road. -We pass numerous store? -and shops, and next we see tbe street sprinkler filling his car^
with water pumped from a coal mine.— This fact and the sight of a dray prepared us to hear thut this was an incorporated town. So this is the
CITY or 3K&2IL
Here seven saw mills cannot supply the demand for lumbar. Shingles are to be counted by the acre. Stoneware factories sufficient to supply half a State, a fine flouring mill, a large woolen factory, a brick machine, a fire brick manufactory with an inexhaustible supply of material these are elements of wealth. But beyond all these, coal mines underneath unequalled by any in the' United States, such as we find Brazil to be. What may it not be?
The next object we see is a switch from the rail road, which we cross, and to tbe north a high platform from which the coal is brought from tbe mines of the Crawford Company, a mile or more north, is dumped into tbe cars ready for transportation. I don't know whet amount they are taking out, but they bave a contract to furnish one hundred tons daily to go to Missouri. One dollar per ton profit gives a very nice daily income. Those owning the coal lands got one cent per bushel for it, A lady whoso land furnishes seme of the coal for this company ha3 an income for some twen-ty-five dollars per day.
These veins of black coal are four to five feet thick. A simple calculation will show that at one cent per bushel, will yield $1,500 to $2,000. Two miles east we roach the grounds or. which un eastern company is erecting a
FURNACE AND ROLLING MIL!,.
Mr. Schrack, the young and gentle manly agent of this company, showed us about. He conducted us first, to the shaft sunk to a depth of fifty feet, and froai which they will obtain two hundred and fifty to three hundred tons daily, The pumps eight^inches in diameter are worked by a strong engine. By means of a water-balance the empty car descends as the loaded one comes up.— This I°E run out on a switch and dumped intocarsona railroad switch beneath Another track will convey it to the stock house, an immense frame building now being put up. Here it will bo taken up in a tower together with the iron ore and thrown into the stack of the furnace.— This stack, some sixty feet high, is built on strong iron pillars resting on a solid baeo. It is covered on the outside with heavy plates of iron and filled on the in aide with Are brick. A bed of massive stone masonry is tho foundation of the en* gine house. The casting house is well up and tbe brick are burnt for the rolling mill. Four great boilers and an immense steam cylinder on the grounJ,are evidencea of a three hundred horse power engine to furnish tho power and blow the blast. This company having tested the coal, bought some twelve hundred acres of land, leased eighteen thousand acres more, paying ten to fifteen oents per ton, and will expend between two and three hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Schrack stated what is perfectly evident, that this railroad will not be able to furnish half the transportation needed when this region is fairly developed. He hopes and expects a more liberal policy from tbe present President. Bu more railroads will have to be built,
On our return to Brazil appetites were in right condition for a good dinner. We then visited the furnace now building immadiately in the town, by a home company with a capital of $120,000. The buildings are in a more advanced state than those just doicribed, and perhaps more ex* tensive. Mr. Root, the superintendent, acd an old experienced man in the business gave us many interesting facts, to narrate which would lengthen this account too much, I must give, however some of his ideas in regard to theimmense wealth of this region. He says that there is one other spot, only in the United States where a similar kind of coal is found. That is on tbe border of Pennsylvania an Ohio. That there it is being rapidly exhausted. This is the only coal tbat can bo used for smelting iron without making it firet into coke. His opinion from many experiments is, that it is confined to a section four to five miles wide by twenty-one miles long, running in a North and South direction. Nor is this entire area underlaid with it. It is lacking in spots. He says that Clay County is richer than any county in the State including any city. A simple calculation will produce such figures that I fear to put them on paper. This furnace will be in operation in two months, and he predicts that in two years there will be at least twenty of them. A third company is beginning to operate and a fourth is predicted, and it would seem that his opinion is not a wild one by any means. Well, what capital will
then be invested? Not less'than $3,000,000. In view of these solid facts what, repeat, may be tbe future of this region
I learn that a citizen of Terra Haute, well known for his business ability, hu invested in a large tra ct, rich in mineralsNow what influencei this .develop©, ment have on
TKSBX HACTI
Some persons for want of a proper understanding of the matter, have supposed that the location of these enterprises in Brazil was necessarily antagonistic to the interests .of our city. Such, in my opinion, is not the fact. There is one thing of which wo may be sure—these furnaces will be located there
may do.
whatever Terre Haute
But it cannot detract from our
commerc%.\l importance. It may add much to it. And as to manufacturing in terests, such as rolling mills, nail facto* ries and many other manufactures com posed largely of Iron, pray what point has advantages equal to Terre Haute? And if it is desirable to have these manufactories, then it is necessary for its citizens to give their best efforts toward their establishment. A large part of this wealth may be made to pass through our hands and if it should, Terre Haute will make a greater stride than over toward a first rank among inland cities.
It need scarcely be said that the writer has no interests in or about Brazil—that this visit was one of curiosity, and tbat tbe supposition was that many wero unac quainted with these interesting developments in our State, and would be interest ed in this narration.
