IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE

Ik'twecn Attorney General Hannn Governor Baker.

and

Sn'lt to le Commenced Against Corrupt oHiHnls for the Recovery of Money Slolr \by Them.

.Sin Viting the. leading article for our this morning we have been liamleu by Attorney General Hanua the following correspondence between him and Governor Baker. This correspondence will be read with great interest by the people of the State, as it is the starting point of what is so much desired by them, viz: bringing corrupt officials to the bar of our courts, and compelling thera to account for all the money they have unlawfully and dishonestly appropriated to their own uses:

HON. B. W. HANNA TO GOV. BAKER. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE, October 2d, 1871. To IBs Excellency, Conrad Baker, Governor of Indiana:

SIB: After much examination and reflection, I have come to the conclusion that my official duty and the public interests, demand that a judicial investigation be had of the transactions and conduct of several gentlemen while in office, having charge of, and controlling public money, and of those who have had the use of the trust funds of the State.

Though I had the discretion to act alone in this matter, it would still be proper and decorous in me to have your advice, as the Chief Magistrate of the State but by the terms of the joint resolution of the last session of the General Assembly, it seems to be contemplated that I should act with your advice and consent, in all suits for the recovery of what is properly belonging to the State. 'In complying with the provisions of this joint resolution, therefore, I have the honwr to lay before your Excellency the following facts, with regard to matters which seem to fall within the contemplation of said joint resolution: 1. The lato Auditor of State, John D.

Evans, Esq., deposited on his private account a large amount of the Sinking Fund, with certain banks and bankers of the State, receiving a large amount of interest for such deposits, which he converted to his own use, as I believe against law and the public interest. His immediate predecessor, Mr. McCarty, did the same thing, though to a less extent. 2. The First National Bank, at Indianapolis, has had the use in its business, of large sums of said Sinking Fund, knowing the trust character of, the same, and has realized large interest thereon, after paying liberal interest to tho officers aforesaid for their own use and profit in addition to their salary as fixed by law. 8. The banking house of A. & J. C. S. Harrison, of Indianapolis, has also used by the ageuey and consent of the Auditors aforesaid, large sums of said trust fund, realizing large profits thereupon, with the knowledge that it was trust money, belongiug to the public schools of the State. 4. John W. Burson, ofMuncie, Indiana, with the consent of the officers aforesaid, has also used large sums of these trust funds, paying interest on the sums deposited with his banking establishment, which iuterest said officers couverted to their private use, in addition to the salaries paid by law for their compensation. 5. In my judgment, each of these persons aud corporations are, under the law, responsible to the State to the amount of the income of the funds by them severally received. This income, is, by statute, made part of the principal '""t of the fund, which is by the act of the* breeches last General Assembly, directed to be distributed amoug the several counties, (Sec. 8, of act of March 8, 1871.) 6. State Printers, previously, and now in office, viz: YViliiam R. Hollowly, Samuel Douglass, A. H. Conner and Richard J. Bright, are charged publicly and privately, in the newspapers aud by private words, with having improperly and illegally drawn from the Treasury, and that they yet hold money belonging to the State. 7. Former State Treasurers, Jobn I. Morrison and Nathan Kimball, have received and converted to their own use large sums, as interest, for the deposits and use of the monies of the State, in addition to their salaries and compensation, as provided by law. 8. The present Auditor and Treasurer may come under similar charges, but I have at present, no means of ascertaining how far the trust funds are used if at all for their private gain. If they are loaned out, or deposited as heretofore, aud the interest applied to the private uses of the Auditor or Treasurer, I respectfully ask your Excellency's advice and consent, that suit be instituted to secure that accrued interest to the uses of the State. 9. There may be other cases where the public money has been withheld, or directed from its legitimate channels, the knowledge of which can only be unfolded as those judicial examinations progress. lu such oases, as well as those enumerated, I ask your consent that such proceedings at law may be instituted, as will secure the State and her Treasury from wrong and injustice.

I can no longer, as the Attorney General of the State, delay an investigation of these alleged frauds upon the Treasury. The air is thick with rumors of plunder and they should be investigated, both in justice to the State Government and the parties implicated.

I shall cordially accept any terms your Excellency may suggest, calculated to recover back any monies abstracted from the State Treasury, and especially that portion of it designed for the promotion of education throughout the Common* wealth, Your obedient servant.

W. PANSA, Att'y Gen'l,

GOV. BAKER'S REPLY. STATE OF INDIANA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

INDIANAPOLIS, IND., Oct. 2,1871. Hon. B. W. IJanna, Attorney General of Indiana:

SIR: In response to your official com munication of this date, I beg leave to say, that I recognize your right, as the Attorney General of the State, to institute and prosecute, any action in the name of the State, against any person or corporation, whenever you believe, that a cause of action exists and ought to be prosecuted. This right existed by statute, prior to the passage of the joint resolution, passed at the last session of the General Assembly, to which you refer, and as under our Constitution, laws can only be passed by bill, the joint re^ solution in question, is only advisory and does not impair or modify your power as it previously existed. I there fore appreciate the courtesy which prompted you to follow the joint resolu tion, by consulting me, in relation to the contemplated actions mentioned in your communication.

So far as my consent is concerned, you

have

it to the fullest extent, to institute and prosecute an action against any per son or corporation, when you are satisfied the following conditions exist, viz: 1. That a just cause of action exists, in favor of the State, against the person or corporation proposed to be sued. 2. That such cause of action not only exists, but that it can be proved by competent evidence. 2. That there is no legal defence or im pediment, so far as you know and believe, which would prevent a recovery.

I could not, however, take the tesponsibiiity of advocating the commencement or prosecution of any particular action against any person or corporation without first having presented to me the facte relied on in that special case, so that might have an opportunity of examining the law as to £he liability of the party proposed to be sued.

Whilst I fully concede that official wrong doing ought to be exposed, the press, the rostrum, aud the legislative committee, must be relied upon for such exposures, in all cases where there is no reasonable probability that a judicial investigation would result iu a judgment for the State. I briefly recapitulate, to avoid misunderstanding, as follows: 1. You have a right to commence and Drosecute any action, on behalf of the State, without my consent. 2. I consent that you may bring any action for the State, where you are satisfied that the three before mentioned conditions exist. 3. I will, if you desire it, advise for or against the bringing of each particular action, when you are ready to commence it, after you shall have afforded me an opportunity to form a judgment as to whether it ought, or ought not to be brought. If you shall see proper to waive an application for my advice, in any case, as you have a right to do, I would still esteem it a favor if you would let me see the complaint in each caae before it is filed. I have the honor to be, very respectfully,

Yourob't servant, CONRAD BAKER, Governor.

Mr. Lightnor has been engaged in the well-known Elgin manufactory in the department wher« the watches are finished, and is recommended by his late employers as a most accomplished and skillful workman.

TME COMIC DRAMA.

"Rosedale."

Last evening, upon the occasion of the second appearance of the already popular Rankin Comedy troupe, a brilliant, though not very large audience greeted thera. The play rendered, entitled "Rosedale," is a most beautiful and excellent one, and was presented in a nfimner that will not admit of any criticisms from us, as we were not present the greater part of the evening, and did not •ee anything to criticise While there.

We can only speak in general praise of the entire company that took part last evening. All were well up in. their parts and exhibit great accomplishments in the art theatrical, demonstrating that they devote much of their time to the study of the profession. This company came to our city with the most flattering newspaper comments and indorsements, and their second appearance at the beautiful temple but recently dedicated to the drama, shows that all that has been said of them is most worthily deserved. Every thing is conducted with an eye single to scrupulous propriety. There is nothing to offend the most critical modesty, and none need remain at home through fear of having their sensitiveness disturbed by an improper, immodest, or an impolite allusion. The attendance was flattering, and we can but believe that all the lovers of artistic comedy will be attracted to the Opera House during the stay of these most excellent performers. The enter-tainment-was charming and created the wildest applause. To individualize when all deserve the highest praise might appear invidious, and so we close this article by inviting all to go and see them and not take our word for what we have ftss^rtsd "Still Waters Run Deep" will be rendered this evening.

Hegister.

Guess that information will be news at that place.

TheKoliinoor.

The following story is told concerning the Koh-i-noor captured in India: "The Koh-i-noor was captured in this cheap way: "In 1849 the well-known diamond became part of the spoil of the AngloIndian army, on the conquest and annexation of the Punjaub, aud being then estimated at $1,250,000, there was great joy over such a prize. Without consulting the army, Lord Gough and Sir Charles Napier, in command, audaciously presented the great diamond to Queen Victoria in the name of the combatants. It was not the General's right to rob the army by bestowing the greatest of its spoils of war upou the Queen, nor ought she to have accepted it without seeing that the soldier* had been paid for it. From that time the Indian army have not received a shilling for their capture of the Koh-i-noor, and Victoria has retained the gem as her own personal property, instead of placing it among the crown jewels belonging to the British nation. '1

IN 1863 a fat man rushed into the office of a well known New Hampshire lawyer, and told him he was drafted. "The deuce you are," said the lawyer. "It must be a strongman that can draft a man of yoursize." "Weill am drafted, aud want you to get me off, I'll pay you for it." "Very welland they proceeded to the provost marshal. "Here," said the lawyer, "I've got you a substitute." "He won't do, said the marshal. "He is too fat and wheezy he can't march." "Cannot you take him for me?'' said the lawyer, "No," said the marshal, "It is no use I won't have him." This was just what the lawyer wanted. "He won't iio, eh!"

No he ivon't!" said the mar

shal. Well, then, scratch his name off the list, for be is drafted and came here with me to be exempted!" The marshal saw they had proved too much for him, and without another word ordered the man's exemption papers,

[Associated Press Dispatches.]

SALT LAKE, Oct. 3.—Brigkam Young was too ill to appear in court this morning and his arraignment was therefore postponed. He remains at his resideuce iu the custody of the United States Deputy Marthal. The arrest has created some sensation, but no popular excitement.

Gen. H. A. Morris, formerly in command here, arrived last night, under or ders to report at Camp Douglass. He was welcomed on the streets to-day enthusiastically.

A company of cavalry from Fort Steele, and a full battery of Fort Wallack, are expected here to-morrow—about 500 troops are now in camp.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 3.—In court this morning, the counsel for Brigham Young having stated that he was sick and not able to appear, moved that he be admitted to bail. Judge McKean said if the prisoner was sick he might remain in his house and not be guarded for the present but that the motion to admit to bail could not be entertained until the pris oner appear at the bar of the court.

In Hawkin's case a motion was made to quash the indictment, which was overruled aud time granted to file a plea of abatement.

All quiet, with no indications of any trouble. Daniel H. Wells, Mayor of Salt Lake City and Third President of the Mormon Church, was arrested this afternoon by United States Marshal Patrick, upon an indictmentof the Grand Jury, charging him, under the Utah statute, with lewdly and lasciviously cohabiting with Louisa Free, whom Wells claims as one of his wives. The accused was taken before Judge McKean, and held to bail in $5,000 to answer at the present term of the court. In this case, as in that of Brigham Young, upon a similar charge, Major Charles H. Helmstead and Hon. Thos. Fitch are counsel for the defense.

NEW YORK, October 3.—The publication of the list of names on the pay rolls of the city is continued to-day. In some instances there are found the names of persons long since deceased still remaining as city employees. Tammany Hall appears to draw the whole amount of the dead men's wages. Tweed's Bureau and and the Department of Buildings has the largest number of sinecures.

In the Finance Department, besides the monthly stipend paid, many of the clerks receive as much more forcollectiug arrears, etc. One Starkweather averages about twenty thousand dollars a month as collector of assessments Geo. H. E. Lynch receives $1,166.66 a month, filling three offices. Many of these officials are related to the controling powers. Starkweather is the father-in-law of Governor Hoffman. Politicians of the worst and most ignorant order are found scattered throughout the roll of sinecures, which includes retired rum-sell-ers, bar-room loafers, ex-convicts, gamblers, bruisers, and other bad characters It is believed that the support of the ring hirelings has cost the city upward of one million two hundred thousand dollars a year.

One member of theJCitizens' Committee states that his examination of the records in the Finance Department has convinced him that at least thirty-three and one-third per cent, of the money expended in tne various departments had been stolen by the ring.

CHICAGO, October 3.—Theodore Tilton ha9 addressed a letter to the Chicago Journal, which Was published yesterday afternoon, in which ho gives his views of marriage and divorce. He gives an epitome of his creed as follows: be lieve in the love of one man and one woman, these twaius, these only, and these to the uttermost. So long as the pair faithfully love each other, neither of the two are free to seek elsewhere another mate. To do so would, in my view, be treachery to human nature, a crime against soul. I believe that this pure love between two congenial breasts, each finding heart's ease in the other, is the only moral, and therefore, the only possi ble justification of any union, whether of marriage or otherwise, by which these twain become our flesh. I believe that a marriage contract—a contract whose essential terms are to love, to honor and to cherish—remains in force, according to its own specifications, just so l&ng-as two parties continue to love, to'honor, and to cherish, and is ipso facto ended when, instead of loving, they hate instead of honoring, they despise and instead of cherishing, they loathe. I believe that the civil law, in compelling either or both paities to such a broken contract to abide together as husband and wife, is a compulsion for which I find no sanction in the Christian religion, and which is the greatest despotism in the existing legislation of States or nations.

To-day the business of the Convention is proceeding, but up to going to press no result was announced.

SINGULAR MISHAP.

Destruction of a Circus by Fire—A Tent and Forty Horses Burned. Through a private letter the Milwaukee ScntinH obtains the following statements respecting losses which have befallen Older's circus, at Reedsburg, while it was on its annual tour through the interior of Wisconsin:

Older'^ show combined a circus, museum, and menageiie,-and consequently required a large number of horses for the transportation of the wagons and cages. Of 150 belonging to the institution, fortyone were destroyed by fire. On the conclusion of their entertainment at Reedsburg, on Wednesday night, 80 horses were provided with quarters under the large tents on the place of exhibition, each containing respectively twenty-five, twenty-seven, and twentyeight horses. About 3 o'clock in the morning, when nearly ready to start for Baraboo, the men went to the hotel for breakfast, leaving no one in charge but a hostler belonging to one of the sideshows. Shortly after their departure the tent on the eastern extreme of the line, filled with straw to the depth of three feet for bedding purposes, caught lire from a torch, and iu ashort space of time nineteen horses were roasted to death. Twenty-one were rescued iu a damaged condition, some with their eyes burnt out, some entirely skinned, and others with their hoofs so badly burned that blood streamed from their feet at every step. They were removed to the stables of the Mansion House and Northwestern Hotel, where, after inspection, a number were put to death. Several of the poor animals, Wild with excitement and pain, strayed off into the country, and were found three or four miles from the scene of the disaster. The horses belonged mainly to the baggage-wagons, the company losing only one ring-horse.

The fire was a severe blow to Mr. Older, whose loss is estimated at $10,000. The company, though sadly crippled by this untoward circumstance, will, through the energy of the proprietor, renew its engagement for the season as soon ashecan obtain a new complement of draught horses. The main tent, containing the menagerie, escaped destruction.

Hunting Down a Millionaire. The following story is told of the San Francisco Chronicle of Meiggs, the great railway prince of Peru, who ran away in debt from San Francisco, some years ago:

Mrs. Joselyn is a washerwoman, and works very hard for her living. Itt the palmy days of Harry Meiggs she deposited with him no less an amount* than $2,500, and when Meiggs and her money were gone, the time in which a woman could lay up so large a sum from the profits of her business was gone also. But she washed on and kept her head above water. Some two or three months ago she read in the Overland Monthly, or some other publication, of how much money her old banker had made in South America by building railroads, and with a beautiful faith in human nature, which cannot be too highly commended, she embarked upon the Panama steamer and wended her way to the sultry South, where Meiggs now holds sway. She sought the millionaire in the gorgeous residence so graphically described in the Overland, aud presented her bank book and told her tale. Meiggs listened, and when she had finished he hauded her a check for the amount of the deposit and interest from its date to the time of payment. She departed a wealthier and a happier woman, and returned to San Francisco, where she arrived by the last steamer.
