"CONTEMPT OF COURT." SUPREME COURT RECORDS.

AN OPEN LETTER, TO THK EDITOR OF THE CTITCINWATT OAZBTTX AND THK EDITOR OF THK INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. In my former letter to you I said that details of general statements published therein might be expected. Time baa been necessary for the preparation ot a suitable response to your complaint of four colamns, which had been in procee s of construction lor weeks before its publication, la the Interim another "friend of the court" has been treating too to a lew pertinent comments which may le of value to ms In this aerlai. i I desire to fii-st address you. the d t r of the Gazette. The zeal with which yon throw your piper into Indiana politics is quite marked. It rises to the grade of cool Impudence! Perhaps less than onetenth or your readers are citizens of Indiana. To that extent only are you, as a political agent, lustlfiable in meddling with the politics and domestic concerns ot this state; yet, that you may gain for your party an advantage in oar state election, you publish to your readers in Ohio, Kentucky and other states a lengthy common!cation abounding in lalseboods, distortions, earpreeslons, Insinuations and malicious comments', and give It your editorial sanction. Yon thus throw the weight of your press against and reflect upon the private character of four of our citizens in official station, whose character and professional attainments, with a reputation for both, constitute their means and capital in publio or private bu-ioess. Your publication was calculated to injure In a special manner the member of the court residing In that part of our state nearest Cincinnati; yet you have failed to publish my first letter in reply, although requested immediately to do so. In this vni are true to your native instlrcv. Would it rot be well for you to turn your attention to the Supreme Courts of your own slate? I understand trat you have tr?o, a regular court and a commission ecentiy constituted with equal powers to Dring up the old business. Among those cases recently disposed or by the latter tribunal is one involving important inter ests of a large family in this state, which 1 understand nas survived a generation of litigants. TO THE JOURNAL AS AN ORGAN. To you, the editor of the Indianajo'.h Journal, as mouthpiece of the Kepublican party, I shall continue this statement in teply. lou may denominate it an excuse, or a defense, aa it may prove itself to be. decline to consent to the rules which you lay down for the government of the investigation which you have provoked. Cross-complaint, set cfif aud counter-claim are yet good defenses in our state. An adversary's witnesses may yet be impoacbed. The falsification of public records for partisan purposes has not ceased to be discreditable to the character ot a gentleman. I well remember kv in the lall ot 1870 yon bewailed tie loss of the Supreme Court "lor six years" and the lallure to re-elect the ttree o! your old bench who were made candidates. You now dread the fame late, and have hesitated at no thing of falsehood and de traction to which your partisan malice can resort. I loin issue with you, but hone to keep within the bounds ot propriety in meeting you with your own weapons The old Damooratlc conrt retired at the close of the year 1861. Three of its judges bad occupied lurnished rooms in the Btate house. One resided In lh!s city. During the months ot November and December, 1864, they allowed expenses amounting to 797 93 incurred by their sheriff. With the first Monday ol January, 1S65, began the term of the Republican court, which continued until January 1, 1871. Its miscellaneous expenditures during that time were limited by neither law nor precedent. Appropriations were exceeded because they were disregarded, and general stat utes authorising expenditures were given a very liberal and forced construction. 1 submit the following transcript of ALLOWANCES FOB THE TEN MONTHS ENDING ccroBER31, 1SG5: January 7, 1865.

To this mus-t be added such further expenditures on its account hidden away in vouchers for "State Library," "ätat9 house," "fuel and stationery" and "miscellaneous," as may be discovered. Your court had no expense, or responsibility, on account of the library at that time. The present court is its lawful custodian and bound for its support. Your court consisted of four judges, one ol whom resided here. The present court is composed ol five judges, aliol whom reside in distant parts of the state. They come bereelmplyon their publio business and are, as individuals, guests of your city; yet, in addition to the gross charges recently made and now being considered, you have for five years past greeted their coming from their homes with indecent remarks and followed them to their homes with tquibs unbecoming a respectable newspaper. You say your court cost only 217,774 82. Please deduct the above amount fcr ten months. It will leave f 14,712 95 lor four fiscal year". Is that true? We will see. Americus.

There is due to the various trnst and other funds the following sums (setting thein out): $493,182 72, showing a deficit oi f 111,660 83." I was not included in the list. I was utterly ignored; yet that deficit was due to me and should have been so stated. How was that deficit reduced during the year? I received no credit whatever, and no non-negotiable bond was tendered to me as evidence of the state's Indebtedness. Do you know how it wa? I understand you confuse me with "Military Fund" and other war characters, and think that, the claims made upon me passed the Inspection of the auditing committee appointed by the General Assembly. In this you sreln error. Although having a military title, I am a factor in the civil service of the state. "Military Fund" and his companions were strangers to the treasury system. They pertained to that wonderful "financial bureau,.' General Fukd. INDIANAPOLIS, May 20, 1876.
