EAUTBE. Itsb'tLoieiesuxLtd ho caciideration ol rf tbe tp p its p-?nt3lrp at the adjournment j?tiday. Mr. WILLARD: In discussing tbe question of tne tubstitation of the minority for the majority report I shall endeavor to be brief : tat in tie remarks I ball make I deiut io have do interrnption, and therefore I if onttt Senators if they have any questions u. &ik tLty will defer their inquiries uatil I i r i.isLed. vbtn I thai! be bappy to r m La. I Lave ever regarded this qusitioa c.T investigating the lands m the hands of tte Tieaiurer cf ßl&te teyoLd the point cf fftfttAining the amount as a matter instigated aircply for the manuftrtare cf political capital. I believe this Legislature has the right to know that every dollar of the State's money is safe and Kcuie; and I believe "when that fact is learned the inquiry should stop there. It is tree there may have teen some dereliction from law on the port of the Treasurer of Elate, as there Las been confessedly upon the part of the Republican Governor of State in the discharge of hii duty to the State, but the real, central qaestioa of all this inYe:tiat!on resolves itself into this one single inqoiry: Are the fand3 of the State safe? Is the Etate protected apalust loss? If it is, then 1 claim we are not authorized to go Jurttcr, undsr the stitute which gives loth the Governor and either branch of the Legislature the rfcht tn inquire Into this matter. In advance of the if rcrts of the committee,tnd.even before the n;a!ter was ascertained, a Democratic member cf the House of Kepresentatives intro-c-t.ccd a bill raising the bond of the Etate Trf eurer to the sum of $i OJO.OOO. In the iote ic was p assed by a unanimous vote. It came to the Senate, "and even undsr the itu:ante of the Treasurer of S rate that he doubled whether he could give so Urge a bond, it wai passed with au amendmeat risking the bond half a million, by a vote of to o one. I stood upon this flo ir aid by eery rceass in my p)er tried to fir the herd at the first named sum. Toe Senate dieazreed with me and I bowed in subm'sfion toils decision, and from that time to the rrctent on eve'y occasion when I tb.rfbt I couM advance that bill I hi7e faihd it üp, and now I find that bill poinj to the Governor with a provision requiring tic Ircamrtr cf State to give a J7C0.0CO bond, thus protecting the Mate against any losi of funds in Lis hards. How much further onht we to:o? What more can be demanded? The ciiiv fact shown in either of taese reports wlih which the Senate has anything to do is tfce fact that $401.000 i3 in the hand of the State Treasurer. lias any reason baen fhotrn-1 ratan net inmors to doubt that these fntds ar9 there? Oa tha contrary, both reports show that he has in his hands $0,111 more thin he is charged with on the books of the Auditor f Elite. I spoke for n investigation to find cu what sums were ilue the State, and I have a. .ken for the pro ttction of these sums absolutely. Tie Denccratic party ha investigated tbe Tresnrer rl State to fur as tbe statute permits hm to t p investigated, and to add to the security of tbe public funds they have placed his bond higher by $200 CO) than the amount ia his htndy. With this record I believe we can tafely po to the people and barall ths slander and innuendoes of the Republican exGovernor and tbe Republican minority oa this Coot or elwbere. Mr. HUSTON: It was net my intention wbn this question was first sprung upon ti e Senate to take any part in the discussion. I Lad hoped it would not assume a political cha-act?r, but it certainly is now a question that has divided this Senate in accordance with their political preferences. We have before us two reports a majority and a minority report, but are now considering a motion to substitute the minority for tha majority report. That has been the question belcre the Senats this morning and yesterday altemoon, and I leave it to the candid judgment of tbe Senate if the speakers upon the opposite tide have confined themselves te the question. A stranger coming npon th:s floor would raturallv have thought exGovernor Porter was" on trial for the commission of a crime. The majority on this floor do not deny or disprove a single charge made in the minority report. Many charges have bn made against the Republican party. The Republican party is not atraid tosrand upm the record it has made, not only npon this question, but npon all ether questions. The opposition are not satisfied to speak of the question at issue, but po back to attack that preat and good man who retires tc private life with the confidence and respect of ths entire people, Albert G. Porter, but that grand and gallant leader, James G. Ulaine, applause they can't attack his public record a man that for twenty years Las been in public life. Laughter. Democrats may well laugh now, but the time will come when James G. Blaine will yet cause them to laugh on the other side of their face. The Republican party is not dead, nor is James G. H'aine dead, nor are the priciples James G. Blaine advocates dead. Tney were not t atisfied to attack James 0. Blaine's public life, but they had to resort to the extent cf going into the sanctity of bis household, and attack him Mr. Macee: Will yon allow a question? Mr. HUSTON: No, I will take the same course cl the Democratic speaker who pre ceded me. This question has assumed a political significance, and I want every Republican member on this fiojr to define his position upon this question. It was charged that Republicans are afraid to father the iniccnty report, bat they wellfoandont the Republican members are not afraid to fatter the report they have mde. We believe this minority report should be adopted, for we think it is demanded in the interest cf tbe people of Indiana, The law provides that tbe State Treasurer shall keep tbe funds rf the 8'ate on hand in money. Has he got the State's money on hand? There has not been a single Senator on this floor who has had the audacity to claim ihat John J. Cooper had the money. It was even shown that on yesterday a warrant drawn cn the State Treasury was protested for want of funds with which to make payment. He had certificates of special deposit for G000, but the minority of the committee were not given a chance to ascertain whether it wa3 his money or somebody clte'e. The people of Indiana are looking with great interest to eee the solution of this question ; the people are interested in it, and I sincerely hope and trust that Democratic members will eee it to their Interest to vote in support of this minority report. Mr. JOHNSON, of Tippecanoe: I did not expect to take the floor on this occasion and to participate in the discussion of the merits cf the two reports submitted by the Special Committee. I have read both reports and have listened attentively to the debate which has taken place in regard to their merits, hut

I moit confers that neither tb maj r?tv re port nor the minority report fully satisfies me. and that I would much prefer to gt a fuller, more thorough, and at the sane time entirely Impartial, ttatement of the condition of onr State Treasury, before I would like to vote for either. While I am fully as much convinced as the Senator from JenniLgs, or Gibson, or Huntington, who have so eloquently advscated the adoption cf the majority report, that our present State Treasurer has rnansced the tfTa'rs of his high and re eiontible oihce witn as much prudence and integrity a9 any o' his predece&sora in omce, and that tbe public funds are entirely safe and cecure in hi! catody, po thatnoi033 to the State will ever accrae through any negligence or criminal action of his. ye: the i port ot tte nubrity ot ths committee leaves on the mind of tba reader a certain feeling of vAtutneos, uncertiioty and amb:KTiity as to the character and cash valne of the Treasurer's assets, ao that I wonld prefer a clear, plainer, more explicit acd detailed exhibit of there asset, pood and sure as they undoubtedly are. On tbe other nand, the minority report, vthich i.eariy in every line displays a ting? of partisan hostility, notonly to the Treasurer hirmelf, but also to the majority of the committee associated with the minority, fails to convince me of the correctness of its allegations and thesubitantial foundation of its fearjand aporehensioneiocs from the very fact that its undeniable partisan spirit detrtcis from the ability with which it is written aud from the value of the charces preferred in the report. I am here in this Senate not as n partisan not as a Dercccrat or Republican "blinded by the desire to help either ray party or a great State official out of a difficulty, tut I am here as ose cf fifty Senators, ta whom the cltizans of Indiana have delegated the power and entraded the care tu watch uver their interests, and to guard their interest against loa or injury. In every vote which I hare cist I have conscientiously asked myself whether to the beat of my convictions and judgment, this vole skonld be given or no:, alwajs willing to ba enlightened and corrected in esse of error, and this same course I intend to pursue this time. And since neither of the reports which the committee have submitted, neither the report advocated by the Senators from Gibson ad JenniDps and Uantinton, Dor the minority report so persistently advocated by the Senator from Wayne and his party advocates, I intend to oiler as a substitute to the motion made by the Samtor from Parke the following resolution: Whereas, The special ooEimlttee appointed to consider tb&t portion of ex-(iovernor Sorter's xneetage which refers to the StAte Treasury nye ubmitted & majority and EiaorPy report as to the result cf iciir Investigation Whtrea., Either of intse repot is, oa account of tfcesriort tlmealloted to tbe Investigation of tbe ItnumaLt questions lnoivei. fails toMtufyttm tenate es to tbe true condition of aJalrs in the State Treasury: Y tana, ve have the fullest confidence la the honesty, integrity and probity of S ate Treasurer Joba J. Cooper, and are convinced that he can Five m satisfactory an account of the conditions of the State Treasury aud of the safety o! fhe p lb!iC lundb entrusted to a:s o2';cul care as any ot his preCecevFors In cfSce: wheren?, Tne urt&i rarty which has twice honored tte cald Join J. Copper by an election to thehl?h and honorable of'.ica of a cutolUu of the pcbUc fundi of the estate eeli arieved nd lQMiiea by the asier?lons on hi character as a public Oiliccr, and de?tcs it due to its honor to trove the utter ground. essnes of tha fears aud prrehtnsloa conepruin the existence of a lare dtCcKrcy in the Treasury, expressed in the minont) rtport: aud Whrea, This gTeat party, whenever Its character Is thus assailed and us honor sullied by oien cjarts, as contained In the minority report of the fprcUl committee, or by the inuenooes coatairied in the mevae ot ex-Governor I'orter, never bnrluks from in auty to the peoole of this State to establish a full, 'air, thorouzn and impartial Investigation of all tbe facts connected with a charge Involving lare public Interest aui ere ating a feallns of uneasiness in the mindj of the people: Kt-toived, That the two reports above namd be referred toaspfcial corntni;tee of five, to re appointed by the President of the Senate, t further investigate the condition of the 6taio f resury, with rower to fend for person and pipers and with lnnructions to employ thiee experience 1 accountant at a salary of not more than f.". per day, und to proceed to a full and thorough investigation of the State Treasury, to verify the vuciers submitted to them and to ascertain the exact oah value of the money, papers and valuaoles ex Mblted by the said Joan J. cooper as the property of tbe State in his custody. Resolved. That tbe Investigation of raid committee shall only efftct the principal, the money really paid into the hands of the State Treasurer, and shall cot enter into any questions whether Interest on 0aid principal or any part of it was paid to him or not. Resolved, That the three experts employed by the special committee shall make their report tu the srecial committee appointing them no later than ten days before the termination of the uguiar session of this General Assembly. Let the resolution be carried on in a spirit of justice, fairness and impartiality, without fear or favor, worlhy both of the high character cf the officer whose official conduct is to be investigated, and of the dignity ot the Senat. I nave not the least doubt that such an investigation, carried on in such a spirit, will lead to the full exoneration of Mr. Cooper, and wiil satisfr public opinion that tho high and responsible office which he administers is to-day in safe bands, and that the large amonnt of public lands entrusted to him is in no danger of being lost cr recklessly jeopardized. I move the adoption of the resolution a read: Mr. FOULKE: I am in full accord witb the Senator from Tippecanoe who desires t have this matter referred to another com mittee. The only result that we desire and that the whole people desire, is that there ehall be an examination of that Treasury. While we believe every r tatement made in the minority report has been justified by the information we received and the facts we know from the investigation of the assets we were permitted to make, not for the sake of invea'gation, but because we believe, aye, we know, is demanded by th best interests if the iate for wnich we will sacrifice anything ehe. We tsy, amend that report almost any way ycu lite, which will give tbe investigation neressay. We don't do it for political cap iUl. We don't ask for anything better, nor could we ever have you in a better place than now, if that were cur purpose. What we want to know is that the money of the State is safe. So far as the main resolution of the Senator from Tippecanoe goee, I will most heartily give him my co-operation, for I believe he has done honor to the Senate and to the Democratic party of Indiana in demanding that investigation. This resolution as to the investigation, we are to a man, I think, in favor of. it has, however, been coupled with a number ef preambles for the purpose, aa it wonld appear (I don't charge that npcn the Senator from Tippecanoe), but it looks as if the same spirit was trying to get Republicans to vote against the resolution because we don't agree with the preamble. Heads. There is one objection to that preamble. It is not onr business ai a Senate to decide a case before we have investigated it. We have no business to pronounce him innocent An opinion as to guilt or innocence would disqualify any man from sitting on a jury, and it is hardly competent for this Senate to express that opinion before making an inquiry. Of course a man is presumed to be innocent UDtil the contrary Is proven against him. Mr. SMITH, of Jennings, raised the point cf order tbat the Committee making these reports was a Joint Committee. The House has acted upon the reports and has discharged its part cf the committee. The substitute proposes to refer this matter to a Senate committee, and is out of order. The Lieutenant Governor sustained the point ol order.

BETTYR: I the Sntor fron Giton thall occupy my thirty rainatej. At the close cf bin remarks I shall claim time for tbe pnrposs of moving the previous question. Mr. McCULLOUGH (in concluding his speech) said: As was suggested by my friend, the Senator from White, (Mr, Ssliers) I will move the previous question. Mr. MAOEK: I wool! ask the Senator to withdraw that rrotion. I win t move to strike out a part cf the minority reoort. Mr. McCULLOUGH and several Senaton: ' No," "no," no " Mr MAGÜE: If themsjirity here want to stifle ai dhcosdon and 'alt ilqtiry, let it täte tte re'por.sibihty. Tbe demand for the previous question was fecoedtd by the Senate, aad the miia question beirp ordered Tbe motion to substitute the m?nortty report for the majority report was rejectei by 3 era 15. na3 '25. J'endirj tbe roll call Mr. FOWIEKraid: I have not been in the Senate much during tne discussion of this qme'.ion owing to my not bsisg able to be here. I am not eatisßed with eitber of these reports, but in view o! the fact that the Governor has full authority to make au investigation at any time io ascertain the condition of the State Treasury, I vote "no " Mr. M AGEE, when his name was called, laid : 1 stated yesterday tbat neither one of these reports was satisfactory to myself, I hsd ro opportunity to olTer the amendmeat I leired to modify the report cf tbe minority. The Senator from Liporte and otLtrs objected to my doing eo tais morning. AslhdLO opportunity ot moving to separate a portion of th minority ra oor which is very objectionable, from that which I think is proper, nevertheless, under tbe circumstance, nut ba ab'e to concur with toe rxajoritv report. I vote "aye," Mr. THOMPSON', when hia name wa called faid: had a creat deal of interest in this discussicti and from my conti iencs in Senators, without reference to their politics from either side. I have been very mich troubled, and I went to a financial advier a gentleman known a'l 07er this Nation ar.d thai is William II. English and, asked him seme questions, and he told me that John J. Cooper stood fairer and conducted tbe State Treasury better than any other man that had ever been there with tbe exception of one man, and tbat was Matthew Urett; that his affairs were all eoit ard all he said he had in the banks he Ln t, at d he didn't know a safer man in the l'niv than John J. Cooper to manage the Treasury of Indiana. Under these circumstances I feel well pleased to vote "no." The vole was then annonnced as abore. The minority report was concurred in by yeas 2:, navs 15. Mr. JOHNSON', of Tippecanoe: In explanation of my Vets I would like to aay tbat in voting for the majority reportof this committee 1 do it in order not to give any misconstruction as to my idea. 1 have arrived at the same conclusion as the majority, however will hereafter move resolution for an investigation. HOUSE OF IiEniKSENTATIVES. 1'kiday, Feb. . 18S3 10 a. ir. THE STATE TAX Mr. GOODIXO offend the following: Kicked, That it is the sense of this Hcus9 that tbe percentuna of S'.ate tax should not, at tie present session of the Legislature, be Increased, and tl at the appropriations should be economical as far as practicable, avoiding the increase of expenses by issuing bends or otherwise. Mr. GOODING : 1 think it is important to ray something upon the propriety of the right to increase tbe taxation. By making appropriations we will be either compelled to increase the taxation or to issue bonds. I hope tbe molotion will be adop d. Mr. SMITH, of T'ppecanoe: I remember a few years sgo it was declared in one of the political platforms that the levy should not be over so much on the hundred dollars, and at tbe ensuing pension of the Legislature I remember tbe House was in cession until ruidnicht on the last day, and adjourned without passing the appropriation bill. That was in 1877. And I remember one branch of the House was in favor of a 5 per cent, levy, and the other branch was in favor of 111 per cent , and I remember that to the party which adopted the platform belonged ths gentleman tbat is soon to be inaugurated Vice President of the United States. He was then Governor of tbe State. I think we had better not determine how much cloth we have to buy before we know how many persons we have to clothe. I think it is simply going it blind. Mr. TO WNSHEND: I wish to ask the gentleman from Hancock (Mr. Gooding), the author of the resolution, if it is tbe purpose of the resolution to prevent a refunding of tbe State dfbt, Mr. GOODING: I atk the gentleman to read tbe resolution. Mr. WILLIAMS: For the first time since I have been here I find myself exactly concurring with the gentleman from Tippecanoe. I move this reeolution be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

Mr. GOODING: Perhaps the House were 1 cot paying attention careiniiy to tne reading of the resolution. I am opposed to a reference of it, and I hope if it is referred the committee will report it biet favorably, and then I will be heard oa the subject. Mr. GORDON: If you will allow mp, I desire to say that nearly everv measure before this House has been carried into politics ; we have been making political measures of them. Tbe gentleman from Hancock Eays he watts an opinion of this House to enable him to know how to vote oa the appropriations. In my opinion we should exercise our own judgment. The centlemsn shall have my vote to enable him to know how to vote on the approprtatioa bills. Mr. LOYD: I am in favor of maintaining the Etate institutions by liberal appropriations. I think the affairs of tbe State should be administered economically, but still I am in favor of maintaining the State institutions. I am opposed to the resoiatlon I therefore move that the motion to refer to the Committee on Ways and Means, mide by the gentleman from Knox (Mr. Williams), lie on the table. The motion was agreed to. Mr. McMULLLN : I move that the resolution lie upon the tab!e. Tbe motion was agreed to by yeas G3, cajs 2S. JUr.Y Trial. EXTE5SI03. Mr. Gcoding'a bill H. R. 57 coming up on the second reading Mr. GOODING said: I wish to state to the House the purpose of this bill. Equitable cases before the act of 1S52 were tried by the Court and not by the jury. The right of trial by jury was restricted to common law cases. This bill, instead of requiring cases of an equitobie character to be tried by the Court, it allows eitber party, if they demand a jury trial, to have their cases tried by a jury. It a person wishes to have his eise tried by the Court why of course he can; but this bill provides that if a person desires to have a jurv trial he can have it in suits in equity as well as in common law. I do not propose to take up the time in discussing the merits of this bilL I think it is a bill which ought to pass. I can see no reason why it should sot Mr. TAYLOR: I thrnk thia is one of the mcst important bills presented to this House

for years and yeas. No w, when a person cornea into conn for the foreclosure of a mortgage, in some cases ths Court will deny thepaxtya jory. and very often the ruling of the Court will bs sustained when the party goes to the Supreme Court. And when the plea cf fraud is set up aud caa be supported by facts, the party is denied the right to ge before a jury in many cases. There are many cases where a psrty may desire to Call npon a iary twelve pr of the realm to determine the facts. For this reason I say this bill 6hou!d become a la. Wim I say this I do not wish to reflect udw a Jcde of tbe State or the Jadge of onr Court, fcr I believe he is a cm who hmaperior intellectual attainments, so fr ai that is concerned. 1 hope the bill will Dacoma a law. Mr. ADAMS Two yeirs ngo I favored a bill similar t this I are3 with the gan tJeman from Duie3S(Ur. Tijlo-)thit this is one of the mort irupjrtant measures bsfore the Assembly. I woul J ratler go before a jiry cf twelve rui aad trast to the'.r cdhmon cense and honesty thn to try a exss before the Ciurt in nan' instances. Mr. MOCK: I fivored the bill for ths same reason stated by th; g?ntlaian. not intending to say anythicg to ths discredit of car Judges and atterners I undertake toeiy there are very few cases in which the eqiltatle and legal principles arecadly distinguished. It Is a very difficult uiater for the Court in many cases to determine whether a case Is a legal or an equitable case. Many caies are taken to the dupreme Court to deteruiiiie tbe question whether it Is a legal or a- equitable case. I am ia U10: uf jary trial j Äir BROWNLEE: I believe that a jary is the highe t tribacal on this earth. " I am willing in all ra-es of fact that thsy mi? decide for we. I hope this inea3 ira will pisa this Hoe and beome a l&w. Mr. KELLISON: I am in favor of ibe parage of this bill. I believe it wjuld be sorry day for this country whea a"l qaejtions of fact, as well as law, would hava to ba se tied by the Court Men wbohavd been long separated from the people Judges holding office f r a long time are not as competent to determine many que-tions of fact ai twelve men fresh from the body of tho people Now tLeee a-e my view npon tbe bill. I hope this measure will pass aad become a law. Mr. SA YRC: I must tay I have been surpiised at this difcas3ion. Why, the gentleman a lithe while ago talked as thoagh he was addressing his argument to a jury as though this House was a jury and he was addressing them. Now I do not see what is to be gained by trying this class et cases before a jury. If the Court sees lit, in his discretion, he can grant a new trat. Tne law of I SSI was defeated nnder the direction of tbe Bar Areociation. I believe it is a good law. I believe this law ouht not to pasj. I bsHeve it would make ad Jitionsl deliy in litietion. Mr. WILLIAMS: Two years ago a bill of ntnilar character was introduced into this Bouse, and we occupied a good deal of valuable time in its discussion, and it did not pajp. Since that bill tvas defeated I have ;iven the subject some consideration, and I nave come to the conclusion in many cases i Jndge is not competent to try a cas9. I think a tribunal of twelve men is much more competent to try questions of fact than a court. The centleman has paid the law of 1 SSI wa3 drafted nnder the direction of tbe Stat Dar Association. I do net want to hold the Republicans resooaible fcr the blunders of the State Dir Association, bat I certainly think the Republican LcgUI&tura made a blunder when it oaseed tbe law of 1M. I would rather try questions of fact before a jury than any judge. I hot e tbe hill will pds. Mr. BROWNING: I mo7e the previous question. The Hon ?e eeconded the demand. Mr. GOODING: There are one or two roints I wish to answer. The gentleman from Wabash (Mr. Sayre) contended that there ought not to be a jury trial in this kind of cises. I would like to ask the gentleman if he thinks there ought to be a jary trial in aEy class of caies. whether equitable or common law cases? I think we ought to restrict the power of tbe Circuit Jndge?. If a jury trial is denied, tbe Judge often appoints his referee or Master Commissioner, jrA they go out and come in and report to him. Now, I think the rights of everybody are better protected by jury trials. I hope this House will pass this bill. The bill was read the third time, and passed by yeas , nays .
