A full, exhibition of tbe coroner' proceedings in the election riots will be found on the eeventn page of the Sentinel toJ I LI.U TV- VmIIa AAmnlatAltf tflfates, by the record, the lying criticisms of the Journal. .i . tk TAfar.rirth mm ia In Sixth Indiana. page 184. Ana n will remain vuerr, a pw petual record of double-dealing wun a widow, an ugly reminiscence for a public man oiOrta'a pretentions ; bat this case, as dark a shadow as It casta oyer his character, la wholly eclipsed by the newexpesure with which he is greeted in returning home. Henceforth Vencxuela Orth -w 111 be a more proper title than Peter Orth. The Chicago Tribune bristles over the action of the Illinois Republican Convention instructing for Blaine, but seta out the aa'.onlsning fact that Morton iamakiug a tool of "the pertinacious young; man" irom Maine, and that at the proper t'me that IndlTidaal will be disposed of in the Interest of the apostle of bate. The Bristow men die hard, but it was hardly to te expected that they would become Irra tional in the death struggle. The "General Fund" letters to IbeS-ntl-nel are opening the eyes of tbe people of this stat?, and tbe press of other states are looking on 8ghast at the reckless robberj of the people here during Morton' ad ministration. Tbe specious covering cf loyalty by which this treason t3 trust was covered up la no longer sufficient excuse for such flagrant crime, and tbe ln lignatiouof the pecple will be clearly manifest whenever an opportunity at the ballot box la aflorded. The resolution of lim Illinois State Rspub lican Convention on tbe policy of leniency is simply atrocious. What right has any etat or party to talk about being lenient to other states? When were tbe Northern states made ruler over the South? The Illinois Republicans doubtless lament that carpet-baggers are net robbing the South and the blacks and whites in continual strife. The glare of tbe incendiary's torch is as grateful to such Republicans as the Bunllghtof pa. Tbe Indianapolis Sentinel claims that a pri vat b:ii or uovernor Morion to me amount of $l8u 10 was paid by the state of Indiana, on (Jovernor Morton's own order, in tbe montb of February. 15. Tbe explanation is un doubtedly to come hereafter. Rochester Chronicle. - The explanation v.111 never come. The Sentinel can produce twenty other vouchers for private supplier, which can never be explained except upon the principle c! actual pillage of the publlo funds. Morton paid out of the public funds bis private bills, and nobody here will have tbe hardi hood to deny it. God love S. Ortb. The Republicans have a way of doing things that is peculiar. When Backcock escaped from the clutches of the law at St. Liouip, though all men knew he was guilty, there was a general band-shaking, con gratulations all around, and a sort of an ovation at Washlogton. So, when one of tbe email fry was delivered irom tbe toils here a few months ago, he went to his home in Marion to receive a grand demon stration. We are to have this thing repeeted here to-night. Godlove S. Orth has just been under fire at Washington City. No Jury decides euch cases as are there exposed, but public opinion renders a verdict frcm tbe published testimony. In this cafe public opinion has had no difficulty in .coming to a conclusion. Godlove is smirched. It Is a case yet clearer than that ct widow Peter, and there was a widow in this case, too. Oar Lafay ette correspondent, whose communica tion appears In another column, gives some local features of tbe case over there, and facts that will be needed at Washing ton. Our readers have noted tbe progress of the investigation, which clearly incul pates the widow's friend. L. Q. Washing ton, one of the best informed and most re liable of the Washington correspondent, sums up tbe matter In this fashion for tbe Courier-Journal: The facta developed in respect to tbe connection or tbe Hon. Godlove 8. Orth witn the Venezuelan claims look very ugly to that gentleman, and may have a tendency to laud him in a lest pleasant abode than tbe governor's mantloo in Indiana. There is no eoobt that these claim were a filthy Job Irom tbe start. Mr. Orth helped to lot by through the act of the Hb of February . 1873, providing lor the enforcement of tbee claims. He did this as tbe paid attorney of SUiwell, ex-American minister, and Tal mage, ex-commissloner.wbo were largely interested In tbe awards. Orth had been elected in OcU ber, 1672, to be a member of the forty-third Congress. His term began the 4th of March, 1873, int he continued to serve bis clients during tbe summer of 1873, as be says, as a friend, but it turned out on crofhexamlnalioa of Mr. Orth that he did not settle with hi clients until after August, 1873. Tbe act of 25 h of February, ISfii, to prevent members of Congress from being InU reeled in claims, says trjat a member who, after his election, agrees to receive a valuable consideration relative to any matter that may b pendlog, or that may be brought before him In his official capacity, ahall be punished with fine and imprisonment. It soenia, loo, thaMr. Ortb owned seven thousand doli in these certificates while chairman of the foreign relations committee of the forty-third Congress. The latter sentence accords exactly with our Lafayette correspondent's story. Tbe corruption of Mr. Orth 5s beyond question. His own threatening letter, as chairman oi tbe committee of foreign affairs, condemns him, and all tbe facta developed go to show that the old spirit of gain, ol scheming Intrigne and double dealing practiced on Widow Peter, has been still more effective in tbe wider field from, which Mr. Orth has been gathering. . ; Now, upon the conclusion of this explore, tbe smirched ex-congressman la to Lave a , public reception in Indlananoli&L Tt ! i will nlr tn nover

zip tbe , disgrace of his exposure. It ' Is '

designed to give the returning hero, (whose deeds are recorded In 6th Indiana, page 1S4,) a ringing send off. It will tike something of the sort to get him as hot as a lime kiln, . ' , The Sentinel readily anticipates the scenes in tbe AcaJemy to-night. There will be a few cannon shots to call the faithful together, and at the same time remind tbe hero of his war exploits with the fearless ram Horner. Then under martial strains, that tbe hero loves, tbe meeting will assemble. The sole proprietor will emerge from behind the scenes, where be has overtly entertained Mr. Orth with a bowl of buttermilk, and, a his reputation as a presiding officer has been below par since tbe Indignation meeting, be will only be permitted to name some one else to preside, who will step to the front and explain why Mr. Ortb was detained at Washington so long, and why he la not now just as hot as a limc-kilr. After some explanation of bow all the Western states Instructing for B'aine will render Morton's nomination at Cincinnati cerUin, and how this exactly fixes the October contest in Indiana, the hero of the evening will be Introduced. He will not refer to his past history as a widow ' attorney; nor his record as the arch-ruler olthedark-lautera party; nor to Venezuela bonds but poor Ben Hill will be riddled, the bloody shirt will wave, Morton will be extolled, and tbe Repnblican paity upheld as the savers of tbe country, after tbe fashion of Robbln Hood. He will compliment tbe Republican party of the city for tteir fraudulent success, whiob was achieved through riot and blood, as it will remind him of the bloody Monday at Louisville daring tbe era of bis former glory In 1S56. There will then be some cteering, and thua will tbe ram Hor ner hero commence bis campaign. . It is not just tbe sort of a send-off a fastidious person would like. We trust that our German frieuis of tha press will sae that tbere is a proper report forwarded to Vienna, to be reproduced in the same pi pjrs that recorded his farewell banquet there. It would prove Interesting reading to those who thought be came heme to be governor of Indiana.

Is Morten Clnllty? Some of our exchanges seem to doubt the validity.ot tte vouchers published by the Sentinel concerning the war governor's private expense bills. The Sentinel not only declares their authenticity in every particular, but further eays that Morton's own friends do no: for a moment question the facts set forth. The vouchers are in the state archives. The s'gnature of the governor is attached to the order for the. warrants exactly as published. It was a bold and reckless system of public pillage that can net be defended upon any grounds. The Journal of this city, the organ of Morton, does not pretend to deny, nor has it yet had the courage to defend, the rascality. It knows the charges are true. It knows that, without tbe shadow of a right to do so, Morton had paid out of tbe public fund his forage bill", gas bills, coal bills, wood bills, ice bills, and for these expenses, - vouchers formally audited and paid, are now on file in the office. No such vouchers are found alter Gov. Baker went into office. None such are found during the Incumbency of Gjt. Hendricks. It was a shameful fraud upon the tax-payers of the state that stamps the man as utterly unfit for public trust. In the light of these facts no one can claim that Morton ii an honest man. If Mor:on would do this In the governor's effise what would be do Id tbe wider field for pillage the presidential chair? The act is simply the dishonest appropriation of tbe people's money for his own use. He lived off the state himself, and when we consider the enormous amount charged up yearly for fuel, we are fully persuaded that he divided with , the cormorants that were hanging to his skirt, who likewise lived dishonestly eff the state. A Poor Excuse. It will not do to attsmpt to defend Morton In using the public funds for bis private expenses, by saying that there was a general Indifference and carelessness at that time among officials as to such use cl tbe public money. It was just as dishonest then as no v, though the public mind is more awkened to the enormity of such acts. Governor Baker would not do it though he followed immediately after Moiton. These private bills of Mor ton's appear in tbe public accounts up to tbe time of his resignation. Then such bills ceased to be presented. No honest man would swear such a bill through the treasury and Governor Baker did not try it. He was politically dishonest enough to occupy the office to which be was not fairly elected by the people, but he was not so morally corrupt as to make the state ray his cow leed and other private bills while he occupied tbe office. Thomas 31. Browne. At the Morton Jollification over the rasult in Ohio, last October, Thomas M Browne said (we copy froaa the Journal re pert) "tbe contest was not almply a con test between greenbacks and specie re sumption, but it was an issue plainly defined .between common honesty and national repudiation and dishonor." This same Mr. Browne would now 'like to, blot out this record and claim : to be opposed to resumption. Tbe above extract ia only a small part of the speech he made denouncing the Democrats of Ohio. The spirit of Morton seemed to actuate him that evening, and bis bitterness against the greenback Democracy was only surpassed by that of the bloody stirt orator. , Mr. Browne will bear frcm that speech many times before tbe close of the present canvass. 1

Supreme Court Ex peine. In the Journal cf the 12th Instant, and in the Cincinnati Gazette 6f the stfue date, was contained what professed to be a statement cf the expenditures ordered and made by the present Supreme Court. Tte statement was wilfully false and exceedingly" us lust. : The very first statement that tbe Jadges of the Court are J. lt. Worden, ol For. Wayne, John Pettlt, of Lafayette, A. C. Downey, of Rising Sun, and 3. H. Buskirk, of Bloomlcgtoo, omitting any mention of A. L. Osborn, ot La Porte,

a late member or the court, and a Republican, who is the peer of any man in tbe state for Integrity, and who participated from January, 1873, to January, 1875, In the labors and expenditures of the court; acd omitting, also, any mention of bis succes sor, the Hon. H. P. Blddle, who has been on the bench from January 1, 1875 clearly demonstrates that falsehood, and not troth, was the primary object of tbe publication The judges, whose official conduct has been impugned, desire that a full state ment shall be given to the public as to every Item of expense Incurred acd have. therefore, united in a request to tbe auditor ot state that he make a statement of all such expenses, and they have given assistance to the auditor that the state ment might be complete. This statement is made to cover all tbe time from Janu ary 3, 1871, to May 1, 1876. which is as far down as the entries on tte auditor's books would afford any information. The Btatement ccvtr the amounts allowed by others than tbe Judjjf s and charged to "Supreme Court expenses." It ought tobe borne in mind that the buildirg corner Washington and Tennessee street-, in this citv, was erected when Gov. Baker was in offica aod uoJtr his superintendence. Tte second etor was designed for tao use of the Supreme Courf, and was planned and constructed according to suggestions from tbe Judges then In . office, all Republican?. The result was thai there were constructed court-room fjr tbe public sessions of tbe court, a library room, a coa9ui:a con room, a room uea Dy the reporter and five rooms for judges' chambers. The court roomis in tbe pait of tbe building fronting on Washington street. Through the part ot tbe building extending back from the conn room is a hall, on cue side of which sra the library room, consultation room, reporter's room aod closet. On tbeother siJeoi tbe hall are the judges' rooms and a stairw&y entering from Tennessee street. The reason for cons'ructing tbe chambers, cr rooms, tor the judges may be found in tbe fact that the state is divided into districts for tbe election of judges, and only one of tbe judges can reside at the capital. It was essential that these chambers, or rooms, should be adjacent to the court room, consultation room and library. That it was intended that the judges thould u?e their rooms as lo.lglog cr slec plug rooms, no one having any information on the subject can possibly doubt. Accordingly, tbe preceding judges, with the exception of the one who resided in IndiaoapDlis, so - used them. Woen the present jadges came in office In 1871, they lound tbe rooms, with tLe ex ception mentioned, supplied with bedsteads, etc., as dormitories. Before tbe appointmentof a fittb judge one of tbe rooms was occupied by tbe librarian. Afterwards a small room was partitioned off in tbe consultation room tor his use. The sheriff has no room or office. When Judge Oborh, tbe fifth judge, came upon tbe bancb in tbe beginning of 1873 be tbougbt it right to furnish his room in the same Btyle as that of the other judges, and Judge B ddle still uses the same. There has been no expense incurred by the assailed judges for the purpose of rendering their rooms comfortable that waa not in kind and quantity shared, concurred in, or approved b these gentlemen. When the preeent judges came up n the bench they lound in position under appointment from tbeir predecessors, a sheriff, a librarian, a janitor and a janitrets, and for a time these persons acted in these petitions under tbe present judges. They paid tbeir sberifl a salary of one tnousand dollars a year. The piejent sheriff is now allowed $1,200, an increase on ao count ot increased, cares and labors. What they paid tbeir librarian, janitor and jaoitrees we do cot care toi r quire. Those acting in these positions now do their work well and earn what they receive. Tbe librarian keeps tbe library open till 10 o'clock at night, generally for tne use of the judges aud tbe accommodation of attorneys. The janitor comes to the building at 5 o'clock iu the morniDg and remains until night. Tbe j an it rout htt the care ot tte judges' rooms, tLercp riet'i and librarian's rjerm aod the ball. Soe cleans up the rooms, makes tLe beds and washes for the rooms of . the judges and librarian. As we can not io a single number of our paper insert the fall statemeLtof the auditor, we content ourselves lor the present with the publication ol a summarized statement, showing the aggregate amount or expenditures and tbe ü.üerent beads, or division?, under which the same are classed: State or Indiana, S. 8.. " ' tFFICE ACDITOB OrbTATK, Indianapolis, May 'i, 1878. I, Ebenerer Hendersoo, auditor of state er tbe state o( Indiana, certify that 1 have caustd to be carefully examined the allowances and vouchers ou file In my office charged to expense of Hupremo Court from January 3, 1871, to May 1, läitf, and that the aggregate amount of such allowance Is S2,i4J 47. I :urtber certify that the said expensoa may be classified as follow : First Lfcbt of former court paid by pre-ent court .... . 11,215 SO Secoud Improvements and repairs or building......... . 4,92-5(6 Third stove?, fuel, lights and ice...

SHUAM 7 Where any Toucher contains two or more items, fallibg under different heals, the amount has been separated and each item placei under lis appropriate placp. 1 further certify tnai tbe Supreme Court bas not allowed all the claims which hare reen charged to expense of Supreme Crart." Prior to Marcb, 1873, a separate account was kept as to toe law . library, wbicn is included above. Since that date the library account bts been charged ta 'expense of Supreme Court. ' In witness wnereot I have affixed my hand and seal ot the state. , " . E. Hexderson, I seal. I Auditor of State. 1. As to tbe payments of this class, nothing further need be said than that tbey can not be charged to the account of tbe present Judges. 2. The building was a failure from tbe

start. It never was, and is not now,' completed. Every lawyer who bas visited tbe law library knows that tbe room is little better than an air-tight box., There la net a window in it pxcept one in tbe roof, ar.d ventilation is out tf the. question, 'ibe consultation room was- in the same condition, and was so ued by the . presect judges f"r about two years, wben they Increased the expense of haviDg two windows put Id the west side of the room'. At the steps ol tüe entrar.ee to the stairway there was no guard or railing to preyent persans from fall lne in times of snow and ice. and the

pres3nt jadges caused band-rails of iron to be placed tbere for sarety. Tbere was no way of getting fuel, etc., iota tbe upper part of the building, except to carry the same to tbe frent entrance on Tennessee street, and up tbe front stairs; nor any ether means ot escape from tbe building Ja case of fire. Tbe judges, for these reason, caused a cneap stairway to be constructed at the rear end ot tbe ball, and a means of elevating the coal, etc, to be used by tbe j anitor. Tb6y also found It necessary to build a coal and wood-house on the alley in the rear of the building. When the present judges came, to tbe building tbe water necessary to supply tbe wash-stands, etc., was obtained from a reservoir in tbe attic ot tbe building. This soon burst and flooded the rooms below, injuring the bulldiDg sni damaging the library. To remedy this, water was brought into the bu'lding irom tbe city watr work. Tbe root of tbe building bas been repaired and painted and topi put on tbe flues to make them crry off the smoke. Slatted sdut ters were put to the doors of the rooms opening into tbe hall as a means of ventilation. 3. Whsn the bolldin was designed and constructed, it was intended to beat tbe rooms with tot air from a furnace in the cellar, under the stairway. Tlrs, like q any of tbeother plans, proved a sham and a delusion. Stoves had to be substitu'ei. The Hues, from not having been properly cocstructed. failed to carry eff tbe smoke, when stoves of certain patterns were used, and ttis made exchanges necessary. Expensive 4iove3 had to be purchased for tbe couit room, the clerk's cfüse, library, coneulution and reporters' rooms. Seme of the stoves in the judges' rooms were adapted to the use of wood and had to be ex chanced for coal et3ves. In every Instance, fcowever, tbe state was credited with the old stove at its value by the party furnishing tbe new. Tbere are in the various rooms ten stoves beeide that in the clerk's office, all of wbicb, except that in the court room, which i only used occasionally, are in use in cold weather. Anthracite coal is used in tbe large stoves and other kinds of coal in the smaller ones. Tbe bills for fuel are necessarily large. When it comes to gas bille, the amount is si or ply enormous. No householder in Indianapolis need be told of this. The library must be kept ligh'ed every night. The judgt s co much of their work at night, requiring the use of gas. It is so with tbe cltrk and reporter, wbose gas bills are charged to the court; and then there mu&t be light in the hall. 4. Tbe cost ot furnishing a judge's chamber or room is shown by the following list, which represents what was purchased for tbe chamber of Judge Ojborn when be came upen the bench: Spring bottomHair mattress......... Two comforis.... Four bed sheets Two Dreads .... One pair blankets.. One hair bolster..... Two hair pillows.... Two bolster aud four pillow cases., uoe wararoDe.. XiO U D Bureau................... Library chair........ KockIdk chalr... Revolving chair... Two cushion seats, Office table, Carpet. Kug... $137 75 The first carpet purchased by the present court was for the librarian's room. This was purchased from Hume, Adams Co. (See voucher No. 295, January 6, 1871.) Ic was a cheap ingrain carpet. It cofet in all t!2S 13, with window shades added. Th9 8?cond carpet was purchased for th9 library. (See voucher No. 2353, June 23, 1871.) This was Amercan tapestry. The room . is large. The carpet lining, making and putting down, cot 248. In June, 1873, new carpets were put down In the consultation room and in the judges' chambers or roorrs, the old carpets being worn out.and u fit for further use. That in tbe consultation room cost entire $270 70. Tbe carpets in the judges' chambers, or rooms, cost 2 50 per yard. It requirid frixty-five yards icr each room, except that of Judge Osborn, which required seventy-three yards. Each carpet for a judge's room, including lining, making and patting down, cost f 182. 5. Tbe library is one of tne moet extensive and complete in tbe west. The books are valued et from 165,000 to 575,000. Toe jadges have power bylaw to purchtae books for it and to exchange Indiana Reports, of wblcb tbe state bas surplus copies, tor other books for the library. By these exchanges and by tbe tale ot our reports tbe library has been largely increased without the expenditure of much money by : the . present iadger. The reports of this court are sent toother states In exchange tcr the reports of such other states. Tne library has so lncreasad that one side of tbe consultation room ras been shelved at considerable enpecse, and is med as a part of the library. Tne court bas kept tne library insured lor an amount near Its estimated value. 6. We have already said all that is nec essary about tbe pay ot the officers and em ployes of the court. 7. Expense for postage and expressage is necessarily incurred in the business of the court. 8. A few items are arranged under the bead "miscellaneous1' which were necessary to be used and COUld not be well arranged under any ot the other beads, but la every instance tbe nature of tbe article purchased Is stated In the account allowed and filed with the auditor. Tbere has been no concealment. - ' 9. One of the mos', expensive departments of tbe court is tbe clerk's office. When the present judges came upon the bencb,Capt. Theodore W. McCoy was clei k, and continued to be until about January, 1873 Since that time Charles Scholl, Eq., has be3n tbe incumbent, and is now the nominee ol his party for re-election. These gentlemen are botn republicans. As a general rule, it has been lett to them to say wbat was necessary for their office, tbe judges conceding, to them what they claim for themselves, that they were capable of determining such a question. At present it is not intended to reflect upon these gentlemen. Indesd, the sole object is to repel an attack prompted by unworthy motives and shaped by suppression of the truth and the utterance of falsehood, ... . .
