RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.
The Sovereign People Denounce Their Servants.
A Spirited Meeting.
Pursuant to the call of the city press, a mighty mass of taxpayers assembled at the rooms of the Civil Circuit Court, last evening, to take into consideration the proper action to be taken in the matter of the arbitrary action of the County Commissioners in relation to the sale of E. & C. R. R. stock and the letting of contracts to construct a Court House, without inviting competitive bids. Among others, there were over one hundred employees of the Vandalia, who marched in a body to the place of meeting.
Hardly had the hour for assemblingarrived before the ccurt room was crowded, and hundreds were turned away. M''
Colonel Hudson called the meeting to order and nominated Mayor Thomas as Chairman.
On motion of J. O. Jones, Joseph Gilbert was made Vice President, C. H. Allen, of the Express, and J.B. Edmunds, of the Journal, were made Secretaries.
At. this point loud calls were made for COL. DOWLING, who came forward and spoke at some considerable length, starting out with the assertion that the meeting was one called to discuss very grave questions, affecting the interests ©f all classes of the community. Taxation was necessary to sustain government, whether National, State or municipal, but taxes must only be assessed when imperatively necessary.
He reviewed the history of the county, touching upon the construction of the present Court House, which'had cost the county some $20,000.
In refering to the quick work that had been made in giving out the Court House bids, he thought the bidder must huve known what was coming, for the most credulous could uot torture it inttr iustiuct. [laughter.]
A year and lour months siuce the people of this county decided this Court House question at the in^tigatiou of this same Commissioner. [Blake, Blake.]
They decided by a vot« of 3,764 to 437 that tbey did not want a new Court House yet in the fao® of these direct laBtruclicme, thj* JJoard, op., wbtgb igtb$

pa me man (Blake) has let this contract and that, too, in a way to excite the strongest, suspicion?, to say theleast. [Applause.]
I do not, say that those officers have been bribed, but I do say that were I guilty of such action as this would expect to have the charge of bribery hurled into ray face at every step. [Great applause.]
Mr. Dowling then proceeded substantially as fo'lows I know some of the gentlemen on that Board, and have for years, and until this transaction would have as soon trusted two of theji [laughter] as my own broth er. But this thing looks bad and needs explaining
Now, it is for the people here assembled to take up this question and calmly consider it. Do we want a Court House costing $300,000? [Voices, "Xo, no."] No, if we are to have a Court House and are to expend that much money, it would be better to spend but $100,000 and the rest in building up herein our midst, manufactures that will be a credit and an honor to the community [applause] and had I the money and choice to-mor-row, I would rather spend that $100,000 in a rolling mill, orsome other manufacturing establishment. If a Court House is to be built, $100,000 is all you want. Remember that when people come here they do not estimate the city by the looks of the buildings, but by the solidity of the finances. A capitalist prospecting for an eligible locality for investments, comes along, and sees a Court House building, costing $400,000. He says:
-,That
buildiug is
very nice." You will reply, "Oh, yes, we think that it is very fine—erected by an architect of national reputation." He will say Is it paid for?" Oh, no! We owe $400,000 on the building." "Do you pay taxes here?" "Yes." Taxed on that building, are you?" "Yes." "How much more do you owe "Well, we gave $100,000 to'-the Evansville & Chicago Railroad, and took stock for it. But, then, this bad to be done, and I voted for it—being a member of the Council at the time—and I have neiver regretted it in fact I am proud of it. It was a substantial improvement to the city. Then we gave $100,000 to the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railroad." "Humph! Pay taxes on all them. Do you?" "Yes." "Is that all the railroads no there is the Terre Haute & Southwestern, to which we voted $150,000, which we expect to pay in the next two years. You didn't issue bonds for that did you No simply said we would pay it, and we intend to do it. We will always stand by our contracts, and we voted this. We have heavy enough taxes for several years yet. If we allow these men to build this Court House the cost will be anywhere from $292,000 to $500,000, which would make our debt something like $700,000, that is in the city and two townships in the county—Prairieton and Prairie Creek. Now, gentlemen, don't you think that the load i^ burdensome enough now This building is nice enough for a little while longer. This place is uice enough for the Judge, that tor the lawyers, and that over there for the audience—except on an occasion of this kind, [laughter,] and that is not very often. [Loud laughter and applause.] Won't this building do for four years, until we see where we will be then? I am in favor of stopping right short, and the shorter the better. But what we have agreed to do we must do. My doctrine is to pay all debts, National, State and municipal. I don't purpose ever to vote for a man for office who, without consulting the people of the county ot Vigo, would spend $400,000 of their money. I do not censure Mr. Thomas Snapp he but did what any mechanic would have done where the same opportunity was given him, by a gentleman so inconsiderate. I don't believe there is another man who would have done this thing. I cautioned that gentleman some time ago said to him kind words. He is a gentleman I desire to see prosper but I don't like to see these short cuts, [Laughter and applause.]
Perhaps I have said about enough, as I have some resolutions to submit to the sense of the meeting. But, by the by, I will say another word or two. The county of Vigo is now iu debt in the sum of $400,000. I learned this from the Auditor. The duplicate for the year ending March 21, next, will amount to about $107,000—county taxes. As to it is placed before you regularly in the the City Treasury you are all in formed,as papers. Now, at the end of next March, we will probably have $10.00 in the County Treasury. Is not that a magnificent sum with which to commence the construction of a $300,000 Court House? What would you think if a man, who had but $5,000, should say I will build me a $40,000 residence next summer, though I don't know where the money is to come from. Why, wouldn't you say such a iu was a' darn fool, without sense enough or honesty enough to be trusted? [Applause.] And that is the way we stand as to the building of this Court House. [Renewed applause.]
Mr. Dowling then presented and read the following .... RESOLUTIONS.
That this meeting, called on public notice, do earnestly condemn and disapprove the reported contract made for the erection of a new and expensive Court Honse in the city of Terre liaute, for the following reasons: 1. The building is not needed' the present Court House being ample for all the present needs of the county and will be for years to come. 2. The recent expensive bridges erected over the riyers and creeks of Vigo county, by the Ooipsfcy Commissioners, has so far
and improper at the present time- [Louder.] 3. We object specially to the manner of letting out a contract for building a Court House, which involves an expenditure of $300,000, without invitiner sealed proposals and allowing honest competition from the mechanics and builders of the city and county.
At this point a great commotion occurred at the door, which was soon ascertained to be by a crowd of new comers endeavoring to get within hearing distance. The Chairman remarked that on sucli an occasion the Court House certainly was not large enough, which remark was received with shouts of laughter. Mr. wling thenproceeded 4. We see in the manner that this alleged contract has been let, a fruitful source of corruption, waste, extravagance and "jobbery," which no people can tolerate if they mean to hold the reins of local government in their own hands and we hereby declare that no outgoing or incoming county officers shall manage'our county affairs in a manner so inconsistent with all the rules of fairness, economy, justice, and against the wishes of the people. h?ers 5. That in all expenditures of money by the County Commissioners, in the erection of public buildings or structures of any kind, it is their duty to publicly advertise for sealed proposals for the same, and to let such buildings or structures to the lowest responsible bidder—the bidder's capacity to furnish a sufficient bond, being the test of his responsibility. 6. That the present County Board, and that which is to follow, be instructed by their fellow citizens here assembled, (as they should be by the vote of May, 1871,) to take no measures to erect a Court House till after a majority of the people of the various townships and wards of the city shall have voted in favor of the erection of such building, and that the cost of the Court House shall be stated in plain words and figures, as a finished structure, ready for use and occupancy, in the proclamation ot the County Commissioners calling for such vote. [Applause.]
Then the people will know what becomes of their money. These, gentlemen, are the resolutions that I present for your action.
J. O. Jones here arose and moved that R. W. Thompson address the meeting, which was seconded by a chorus of voices.
MR. THOMPSON
came forward and said Mr. President aud Gentlemen—I come here to-night, not expecting to participate in this meeting in auy wise other than to express with others my disapprobation of the proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners and in the manner of that expression I am not at all choice. This presents a very singular question to my mind whether in point of fact we are living under a form of county government under the control of the people or under the control of three or four or a half-dozop men. [Apptause This i& the .question as it strikes me.
Now, the Board of County Commissioners constitute what we call our County Court. We all apprehend that it is a well constituted Board under the statutes, yet when that Board undertakes to violate their duty as prescribed by the statute, whatever they do iu violation thereof is void, and confers no right upon anybody. Hence, if they make a contract to do a thing, which by law they have riO power to do, the contract conveys no right to the party who works it. But when they make a contract for what they have a right to mak%under the law ft cannot be abrogated. Yet while that party holding that contract may claim the benefit of it, he should be held responsible at the bar of public opinion. I do not say that the County Commissioners did uot make certain contracts legitiimately and properly, but infer from their conduct that there wift something wrong.
If there was fraud, then no right is couferred on the contracting party. I don't know whether iu the case we are now discussing anything of that kind has occurred I have not examined into the facts sufficiently yet to have any opinion about it I am here for the simple purpose of expressing my disapprobation of this outrage. [Applause.] SAs for the building of a Court House, I am very indifferent about that, very. So far as I am concerned, I would as soon hold court in a barn as anywhere else. [Laughter.] The administration of justice does not depeud at all on the science of the architect., XApplause.] If, however, a Court House is to be built in this couuty, there is a plain, simple mode of doing it. That paode is by appropriating an amount of money, or by the creation of a sinking fund, on a basis of a quarter of a cent, so that nobody will know it.
Yet as to whether the time has come for the building of a Court House, I have no opinion, nor care a pairing of my finger nail!
I am, howevef opposed to the building of a Court House at any time under these circumstances. The people of Vigo county own the money that is in the Treasury, and they have a right to be heard as to how that money shall be expended and auy man or set of men who take it into their heads thatou their own judgment tbey will decide it, should be told in strong and indignant terms that they have outraged the public sentiment of the county. [Great applause.] No matter who, there should be no mistaking the sentiment of the public on fliis subject. [Renewed applause.]
Mr. Thompson continued at length, detailing the sale of the stock of the Evansville & Crawfordsville R. R. by the. Commissioners, and denouncing that action, on the ground that if said stock was to be sold, it should have been at public vendue and to the highest bidder. As to the lettiug of contracts for the Court House, they should have been let to the lowest responsible bidder, thus giving the honest mechanics of the county and city a chance. This wafc not done, the Commissioners giving out the work in a manner to excite suspicion, to put it as mild as possible. They had thus set at naught the rights of tfe® people, ii* 4e§ance of public opinion. The perpe-

eternal disgrace of his name. [Cheers and cries of "Blake, Blake."] The speaker thought something must be done. With Mr. Dowling, he thought the order of the Commissioners should be rescinded. Bjit how shall that be done? [Voice, "A 'bold frout will do it." Laughter.] The speaker thought if itcould be rescinded by boldness, that both a bold front and a bold rear should certainly be presented. [Shouts of laughter.] He hoped that there would be no want of unanimity on the subject hoped that what was done would be done in a firm though

respectful manner f«r the
self-rsspeet of the citizens assembled. COL. HUDSON Then aroseafnd stated that while he was very much in favor of the resolutions offered by Mr. Drvling, he feared, perhaps, that they did not go far euough, and would not be sufficiently effective. Therefore, he offered the following as an additional resolution which he would read, and follow it with some remarks. The resolution was then read as follows
Re/solved further, that the chair appoint a committee of fifteen persons, whose duty it shall be to take all necessary steps in the courts to prevent the building of a Court House at this time, and under the recent contract made between the County Commissioners and Thomas B. Snapp, and to inquire into the legality of the sale of the E. & C. Railroad stock, and that they employ the necessary counsel for this purpose. ^Mr. Hudson then'said: Now Mr. President, there are several reasons for offering that. For the last few days it has been published in the papers that there would be a meeting here to-night to take into consideration the action of our County Commissioners. It wascommon talk on the streets, yet you do not see these Commissioners here to-night as you look over this vast crowd. They do not come here to defend their action, hence I infer that these, men have "taken the bit in their mouths" and will snap thetr fingers at the resolutions already offered.
In the face of public opinion merely, that Court House will be built under that contract [never, no, rrever.] But unless you do fomething more than pass resolution expressive of public opinion, Thomas B. Snapp will construct that Court liouse, under that contract with the Commissioners. It is my judgment that the coutract will not be rescinded unless the law intervenes, [Sensation] for I suppose we can enjoin their action, I undertake to say, that as it appears by the record, Thomas B. Suapp has a right to go oil and build that Court House. and draw upon the Commissioners for $292,000. And I understand from a competent miechanic, who examined the plans and specifications, that the $292,000 will but enfeose the building, and that it will 'filrr iiiMfafjflft fn mmplftr the structure.. [Sensation.] "'u
We must not merely pass resolutions, but we must commence legal proceedings and fight this thing from the beginning until we crush it. [Cheers.] As a property holder here and a tax-pay'er, if we cannot crush it by legal proceedings, I am fn favor of crushing it anyhow, [loud cheering] because our taxes are heavy euough, now. Judging every man by myself, I know it is difficult to get mouey with which to pay taxes uov. Hence, I say, stop this thing peaceably if we can, if not by the strong arm of the sovereign people of this county. [Great applause.}
Before tnis resolution was put to a vote S. Magill offered the following additional
Resolved, That lhe Board of Couuty Commissioners be and they are hereby requested by this meeting to rescind tile order for building anew Court House.
Then J. B. Hager presented the subjoined, in additiou to that of Mr. Magill: Resolved, That the citizens of the sev eral townships of this county, without respect to party, are requested to meet at the earliest practicable moment, to give expression to their views as to the subjects which have rendered this meeting necessary.
The chair arose to put the resolutions, whereupon I W. C. BALL came forward and said
Mr. Chairman, before you put those resolutions I would most respectfully inquest permission to read a communication from Mr. Vrydaugh, a document hauded me this evening, with the request that I should read it to this meeting. What the paper contains I am not aware, for I have not read it. As a reason for asking me to come before the meeting with this paper, Mr. V. claimed that he had but a poor commaud of our language and preferred putting what be bad to offer in writing and have it read. I am therefore before you merely in a clerical capacity. I wish to clear my skirts of any imputation in connection with the communication, favorable or otherwise. For him whom I represent in that clerical capacity here I ask a hearing, presuming that ,this audience will accord it. 7.
Quite a little commotiou was created by the interjection of the documentary bombshell, aud iu the twinkling of a little star, there were a dozen men striving to make themselves heard with motions and counter motions. Cries of "read" and counter cries of "don't" filled the hot air of the court room, creating Babel-like confusion. Mr. Hager finally gained the floor and formally objected to the reading, which, on being seconded, was put to the sense of the n^e.eting and prevailed. O* 7*7
At this juncture Vice Presideut Gilbert rose and resigned bis position a9 such, stat'ng as his reasons for such action, that, he came there to hear both sidesand believed thj}t,,both^sides had a right to be heard.
This caused a profound sensation and a reaction qf the seatilStJlt of §udiIn
Col. Thompson came forward, however, and said that he thought the position of Mr. Gilbert based on a misunderstanding of the facts in the case. He (Mr. Thompson) considered that Mr. Vrydagh was not on trial, and was not a party directly under consideration. Several others seemed to be of the same opinion, and an animated discussions was ovoided by a motion of Mr. Cbeadle to the effect that the vote on the question be reconsidered. On being seconded and put, the mitjon prevailed, though there was a tie, the chair simply deciding in favor of the prevalence of the motion.
Mr. Ball then proceeded to read the communication, which will bw found in this issue of the V/^TTTE, in another part of the paper. He had proceeded but a short distance, when he observed, as did others, that the subject written was entirely irrelevant, not being at all pertinent to the question.
Af t'lis juncture, amotion was offered that the reading be dispensed with. Loud and prolonged laughter followed this, and—then there was a calm.
The resolutions previously presented were then passed, amidst great applause. At this point Mr. Fellenzer was requested to come forward, and pledge himself that during his term of service he would oppose the building of a Court House unless the people thus instructed him. Mr. M. C. Rankin also pledged Mr. Robbins, at his request.
Loud calls were made for Filbeck by some of those in the audience, who seemed anxious that he should be pledged to something. This caused much laughter.
The Chair then announced the following committee of fifteen, pursuant to the resolution of Mr. Hudson G. W. Bement,*" Wm. B. Tuell,^ T. Dowling, J. B. Hager, -. J. H. O'Boyle,^* R. N. Hudson,*-^" L.

Mr. Cheadle moved that a committee of five be appointed to notify the Commissioners of the action of the meeting, and the chair named the following
