When the last Republican supreme bench mounted the throne In January, 1863, It bad a Cime bat no abiding place, do borne. Judges Ray, Elliott, Giegory and Ftazer composed the court. Compared with the present bench In every particular and compared with itself alter the present buildings had been completed and ocupancy followed in the year 1?&, the old beach wu a very migratory and primitive aflair. That statement no one will attempt to dispute, least of all the practicing atiorne a of huse days, who are best informed on the subject. And It follows natura ly that the expenses whlcn the a ate would be called on to stand to maintain this department would be comparatively mall. Tbe quarters were por.r, entirety no worthy of the a ate, aud such a thing as convenience was out of the question each continued to be the financial and social condition of the Huprema Court till the Legislature consulted trie digniiy of Indiana by roakiDg an appropriation lor tne present budding in the year 1sj7. To give the voters 01 this 6 ate a clear aud reliable idea of Supreme Court expenses for the past ten year?, we have gone patiently through the rtcorda and voucher.

Not counting the salaries of the judges, which have always been placed under the Judiciary mnd, It Includes simply the clerk's and sheriff' expenses.

Home able mathematician, who deserves canonizing by tbe Kepuo i lean party, Dai devised a means oi gratl fyiag thd supreme Judges without com promising them on the record. The Invention eenslsted of an Ark: of Safety kn wo as General Fund. Like the original arc, it was bultt of broad beam, could carry unlimited freight ot every description, and breasted the political floods in style. Mow that the simmering down process has commenced, the voters of tbe state will see the waters of abuse and misrepresentation sub , t-ldiDg under investigation, and can observe this Genertl t una ark of safety perched up In pi.in view on Ararat, me piciure wi l x pi tin the infinite mercy of Divide Providence Ln bringing about a Democratic reform. For instance, by consulting this fiscal year of l.Ci. we find bills charged to the supreme court, approved by tbe presiding Justice and paid out of the general fund, amounting to 9,315 61! Tals makes a total for thai yer alone of 11?, 8 30. This year will re ceive furlber treatment. It Is Introduced here to illustrate 'he tact which lies at the very bae cf the Journal's charges, viz: That while every item of Hupreme Court expense now appears under tbafhead on the books, It was formerly üMrioutea among various funds i be voters or tne state, who compose the Jury ln this case, must see and grarp the full force of this statement, for it constitute an lmrortaui element in the re ply. The Journal has-made political capital oat of the Insane and rascaly method of keeping accounts first resorted to by Republl can officials and continned ln order to hide corruption. Ihis method once understood, the keystone of tbe argument is gone and the whole structure oc abuse ana misrepresent Hon falls to the groun 1. THB INITIAL LIB. . Now, taking advantage of this old crooked ness ln accounts, the Journal says : "The ex' penses of the first Ave years of the court pre ceding the present-bench amounted to S17, 774 82." These figures are wrong from the Journal's own false standpoint of calculation Not one authentic entry is given; nothing to show tbe reader how this result was reached If the Journal is true to its own rules of arithmetic ln this affair, it will make the expenses of lis Denen ior mat nve years period 115,839 68. Here are the fljures. '-marred, as yon tee, by traitors, exact copies oi tne entries mane nt der the head of Supreme Court expenses for those years : - S 3,061 87 166 2,8 3 03 18687! 1 2892 75 18c9 M 8,(121 11 Total 15,S 68 in tne absence or authority as decisive as tbe above, therefore, tbe Journal's figures are aibitrary. jjui tne line or attack has been Indf cenily consistent throughout in this respect, and need excite no surprise. The same method adopted ln tbe treatment of tbe year 18, will. If followed through tbe financial history oi that bench, lead to the following results, and the Agare are placed side by side in order to have their logical and conclusive efie.t: AS IT IS. Enti lea to the Supreme Court are : . 185 1 S,m 7 185 1Mb l7n ,,,, 2,K3 03 t,m 93 2,981 75 il 4,88i 7ll Total...-.-..120,725 38 AS IT SHOULD BE. We now Introduce the ark of safety, which tbe Journal calculator maliciously overlooked, and the Agares will change. The actua', not the garbled, expenses of that Republican bench have . been ' laboriously flthed np out of that general fund. "Vouchers win be freely used hereafter, but for the p eseut let the reader understand that every dollar of the following amount Is billed riirtctly to the supreme bench and should be found thereunder any honest system of acrouLts though here much more than half the totalis charged to different funds.

The flcurea have bsen patiently and faithfully taken from tbe records, and ln this arithmetic THB SERVICES OF ANANIAS, wco keeps back part of the price, have been dispensed with. Every dollar of expensedurlng that period Is not represented even yet, for while tbe court was quartered at the old state house, the librarian seems to nave catered in the matter of fulfor all departments ln the building. No separate charges to the Supreme Court are -made during that time, lie baugh. In balr, approved tbe bll's In bulk, they were paid in bulk and then chsrved in bilk to tbe fuet account. If tbe proportion of this expanse belonging to tfce court could be reached it wou.d considerably Increase the debit acd wou:d be a corresi onilrjg credit to the present beech's account. Again, quite a number of vouchers, which sbouil have been inspected, were mlAMnj, either tnrougn carelessness or design. Hence it Is safe to ssv that the last bench depleted tbe treasury of ?1,i uu In round number; but the total ootairea trom sources which have a black and white authority, and defy all suspicion, Will answer the purpose. Where tne journa s Ananiasaeoits me republican txnch during five year with fl7,774 ?, the vouchers charge them with 27,78? li : and for the contempMDie rnrpofe oi aiMorucg the truth out ot all shape, be retired from battle before tbeyear W0, which contalnel an expense of J12.27J XI for th 1 brary. W hen he faw mat item looming up in tue uisiaiicr, u mu his head in the sand, like the OMirlcu. and let that year pass. To Illustrate the animus un der which be works, he Is still barefaced enough to introduce in the courseof hH prosecution certain bills of the present bench, con tracted aod paid during this peent nscal yesr. What ne wants 'or nis purpose, ne tasr like a fietbooter. The prlnclo'es of atiack la.ddoTn at tbe ou'set are first negleetd, Iben entlrelv ignored, until all the rules of decency and touesl warfare are outraged and ti.e pi: ate is a law nnto nimseir. THB CASK IN BsIEF miy now be concisuy stated bo mat minds even far below the average can anderstand tne points invoivea. and plainly fee all the bearings. For years previous to the advent of the present bench it was the fashion with thestUeac countants to keep their books perennially and abominably muddltd. Just Imagine a house wife who keeps her silverware and piano ln the cellar, puts her coal and Ice-chest ln the garret, and her door plate on the roof, and you have fair idea of tbe financial situation. So long as the money caied tor and the balinco sheet taiiieo, it was a matter oi supreme lndinerence wnetuer tne va rious expenses got into tne ngut pews. Ihey stow d them Into the first pew which happened to Denanuy aria iouna aiazy soiace ln the reflection that ii they were In one place, whether right or wrong, they could notbeln another. Nopentecosiof common sense ever visited this department of the government till one day the bright idea dawned on some royal mind that when Bmlth buys a shirt i . must not be cnargea to Brown, it wasa Dig aiseovery and led to Driiuant results, uraer gradually began to grow out of chaoe until under the present administration It has assumed a shape of convenient perlection. To-day if the tax-payer want to know whether Bmlth has bought anv shirts, he has only to turn to smith's ac counts, where he finds a sensible business en try of the expense, ro tnose wno nave never penetrated tne mysterious dep'hs of the old system of book-keeping, It wonld be a hard thing to explain tneir ingnuui contusion. Morton's cow feed nsed to be paid out of the sreneral fund : bills of Hume, Adams x Co., for carpets and fixtures, will be found amopg the fuel and stationery accounts; "fair is foul and foul is fair" to the end of the disgusting chapter; and the only marvel is that tbe Indiana ship of state has not been hopelessly wrecked in tne storm, ine oupreme uurv is cnargea to-day on the revised and proper method of keeping books, with every Item which can be construed into expense for that arm of the service. Nothli e escape into otber departments, with the single exception of tbe sal tries, more conveniently piactd oy themselves. From one ex'reme we have gone to another. Business has vastly lncres"d during the past few year, and unavoidable expense has kept pace ltb it. In tbe first p ace, tnereiore, to iuae tue expense sianaara of .h present court by that of the former one would be untust and absurd for reasons reanlring no further comment: and In tbe sec ond place, tne oia account no mure luaicaies the actual expenses of the court proper than does the present system, considering the In creased burdens ana b weeping items it has to bear. This will receive attention when the present court comes under survey. ANCIENT HISTORY. The charge has been made that extrava gance has been tne ruie unaer tne present court. In order to convince the tax-payer of the falsity of this statement, the expenses of the previous bencn nave been reviewed AS TO COAL, ETC. The following Items for fuel alone are all taken from tbe general lund. They cover three years since tbe occupancy of tbe pres ent buildings. For the other three no record of expense under this head can be found, and the tax-payer can conjecture for himself how much it required to Keep tne court rrom freez ing ln the oia state nouseana elsewhere dur ing that time. iu. ot voucher.

More Spartan economy. CARPETING. The Journal makes a great howl over the fact that the present bench has expended ln carpets and general goods from carpet dealers S.73181. This old court had four looms to fit up for the Judges, which it proceeded to do by contracting a bill of 51,r83 at Hume, Adams 4 Co., under date of February, 1858, general fund, voucher &o. S7-73. They were guilty ft wbat la the eyes cf the Kepublican party seems to be the unpardonable sin of buving Brussels Instead nt cheap John stuff. It Is barely poMtle, however, that wnta they made 1 bat purchase tbey foresaw the painful fjtct that thote aarp'ts would not last till drum's day, like the the grave-diggers' work. With the constant wear to wblcu these perishable articles are exposed la a public office. iLev 111 look decently from lour to six years,and no longer. Oooda of this description are naturally expensive, a od the quarters are lar". At the end however of two years, the general luud shows a second bill of thA court to Hume, Adams & Co., of 87i7 7G, voucber 613, date of July 1, 187P, which added to a bill of $38 83 (general fund voucher 9,6X1; date July J, 189v), for fixings in the clerk's office, makes a total nnder this bead of SM78 59. Again, we have an expense of three years ex ceeding an expense of five ytar. The old court, with all its tremendous stress of busi ness, found time to start an art gallery, ihe gem of the collection was a female daub, called "Jus: ice." price f HXK Bhe made her de but with great eclat, and the connoisseurs were st delighte a that they bought her yams of velvet carpet at 54 5i per yard, bouna It with velvet border at S2 V5a yard, her total trousseau costing 77 80. Suddenly they dropped the an Idea, and quietly dropped some linen over the velvet carpet to keep It out of the tax-payer's sight. And there it remains to this day, UDder the daub s feet, another il lustration of Republican spartan simplicity. Again, when the Legislature constituted a filth Judge by act of 1872, t.ov. Baker appointed Judge A. L. Osborn to act until tbe elections of lfi74. The total cost of his room was HS1 75. and is saddled on to tbe Democratic bench, ot course. Leaving the otber expenses for further consideration, his carpets and rugs cost tl'JT, wnicn amount snouia ne aeacctca from tne Democratic expense under this head, it leaves a balance of 2,131 ll by the Journal's own figures, properly belonging to this bench, as opposed to a three years' ex per aeon tbe Re publican side of f 1,478 19. so muca for the cirpet chapter. FURNITUR AND FURNISHINGS. Tbe previous bench allowed bills under this head as follows, and charged them to ihe omnlverous general fund : Voucher, 186, February 17 8283 82f6 8278 8732 7338 I 93 fO 11 tx 64 6i 27 00 16 25 t:h 10 18b8, February 2.

That bill of 1728, tbe only one of considerable size, reads as follows: Supreme Court: BOUGHT OF A, GEBHARD. 150 chairs . f.3. 1150 00 4 Judge chairs ....8.0 lao 00 20 benches. 7.50 150 CO 4 s?nl .. . , , 2 8 CO 728 CO In other words the Supreme Court room re ceived all the attention ln the furniture line, a most ridiculous Idea. Four rooms were fui . nlsbed entire with tables, chairs, bedsteads and bureaus. Where are thee items? Not under expenses of the Supreme Court, not nnder tbe general lund. Tne investigator might search the vouchers for six months without finding a clue to these expenditures. Here Is a crumb of comfort. February 17, 18t8.

'lhat expense has been buried ln the corrupt records. Judge Osborne's imperial bed acd beddlnir east till 7?, which pieaee deduct from tbe cnr-s to the present bench.

G1NERAL BXPESfE. To devote the space necessary at this time to transcribe ln full tbe blL's and vouchers for the period covered by the form bench would be useless. Tae main point was to show, beyond the shadow of a" tfoubt, that the same rules of expense which govern , tne present Denen , have governed the past. To ., go over
