How differently people look at things. A resolution has been introduced in the Ohio Legislature providing that every absentee shall forfeit five dollars for each day's absence, unless it can be shown that his absence was cau9ed by reason of sickness or death.

BILLY FLORENCE, the actor, wants a foreign mission. "WI13' should he not have it?" asks the Washington Republican.

He has traveled the world over, he speaks several languages, and whereever he is he is a gen Jeman.

THE State of New York has been at work for fifteen years on a new Capital building. Already over twelve millions of dollars have been expended, and it is thought that It will require several millions additional to complete it. The newspapers of that Slate are disposed to tLink that there has been considerable corruption and extravagance in connection with the work, and it is altogether probable they are about right.

PATRICK SHANNON.

In another part of to-day's GAZETTE will be found the .proceedings taken yesterday in the Superior Court in the case of the State vs Newton Rogers and his bondsmen for the recovery of the shortage in his accounts as Treasurer of Vigo county. Certain of the bondsmen filed an answer and cross bill to the complaint That cross bill will be found in full in to-day'a GAZETTE. It should be read by every tax payer in Vigo county.

The 1st paragraph is a general denial of the complaint. The ted paragraph recites the fact that the persons mentioned in the cross bill and who file it were on the bond filed by Newton Rogers as Treasurer during his first term that he settled in full with the county when his first term expired and tliat they, as signers of bis bond for the first term, should not be held liable for a deficiency occurring in his

seconJt

term of

office, as the complaint seeks to make them. The 3rd and 4th paragraphs we will refer to further on in this article,

The 5th paragraph of the answer and cross bill is a cross-complaint against P. Shannon F. F. Keith, J. S. Beach and P. Schloss. In this it is charged that Newton Rogers, with funds that came into bis hands as treasurer, purchased certain real estate of the value of $12*000, and had the same conveyed to his wife. That be put upon said real estate improvements to the value ol $8,000 that the wife of Rogers held title to said real estate as trustee for her husband, and that on the 12th day of October, 1831, the said Rogers and wife, conveyed by deed with general warranty to said iShaunon, Keith, Beach and Schloss, for the nominal consideration of $10,000 the said real estate, and that said conveyance was in fraud of the rights of the co-defendants in this suit, to the extent of the difference between the actual value ofsaidreal estate and the price paid therefor by said Shannon, Keith, Beach and Schloss.

When the case came up, Mr. Shelton( as counsel for Beach and Keith, said there was no cause for quarrel between the plaintiff in the cros^-complaint and his clients, that the $10,000 paid for said real estate was applied to the indebtedness of Rogers on his bond as treasurer, and inured to the benefit of all the suretics on his bonds. He further said that his clients had not sought, and did not now seek to derive any personal or individual advantage by reason ot said conveyance, and if the real estate was worth more, or would bring more than the $10,000, it should inuro for the relief of all. Mr. Shelton said he understood \liis to be the position of Mr. Schloss also, but did not wish to be understood as having authority to speak for Schloss.

Mr. E. S. Erny, who was present, said that Mr. Shannon was willing, so far as he was concerned, that the most might be made out ot said real estate, and applied as indicated by Shelton.

Whether the matters set forth in this paragraph will be settled on the basis stated by Mr. Shelton we do not know. The attorneys filing this cross bill will contend that these four persons should take this property at a valuation to be determined by the court and pay on the bend the amount by which it exceeds the $10,000 they have already paid on the bond for it. If the court should order it sold and the proceeds from it over and above the $10,000 already paid on the bond should be devoted to the same purpose the matter would be adjusted. There is little if any room for serious contention on this point, and the position of Messrs. Keith, Schloss and Beach is fair, just aijjl honorable, and what might have been expected ot them If Mr. Shannon consents to it there will be people who will believe that he is forced to it by the overwhelming force of an indignant public sentiment which is now aroused at his manifold attempts to wrongfully appropriate to his own uses public funds.

The third and fourth paragraphs are directed solely at Mr. Shannon and review the history of his financial opera lions with the funds of Vigo county in the hands of Newton Rogers. His obtaining of the $2,000 of public funds which he now retains and has refused to pay over on the check of Newton Rogers is fittingly characterized as a "grab." That is Just what it is. It is a monstrous attempt to overreach and ruin a man on whose bounty be fed himself fat for four years a cold-blooded scheme to throw, as it has done, the affairs of Vigo county into confusion and cost the people money, and a rascally attempt to firab money from the pockets of the men who were on the bond of Newton Rogers with him. The story of his infamy is well told in the thinl and fourth paragraphs of this cross bill—and it is a story which should make him an outcast fVom the secietv of all honest folks in this county. It should force him from this community he has outraged, as the defense of his manifold iniquities is practically forcing away from here the puppy which barks to cover his retreat whenever he claps together his hands—fat and unclean with the money of other people. These two paragraphs taken in connection with Shannon's own card, which the falsest or most foolish friend he has on this earth •must have written for him, tell well and tell completely the history of a false and perfidious rascal who sucked the life blood out of a man who showered favors on him tor four years, and then sought to finish his feast on the blood of his fellow bondsmen. How soon he will, we do not know, for courts like the mills of the Gods grind slow, bnt he will be compelled to give up this public money, and for interest he has earned the scorn and execration of every honest man in this county. His career in this community is run, for the way for a public official to kill and bury himself is to have this man on his bond, or leave his money in his eustedy, or be on friendly terms with him or have anything to do with him. The curse of this community is on his dishonored head.

No. 250.

In Vigo Superior Court, December Term, 1881. A demurrer was filed by certain of the bandsmen to the complaint of the plaintiffs. That was overruled by .Judge Rhoads. The following cross bill was then filed by some of the defendants: 1st— Comes now John Fuller, Jacob Ortb, Henry C. Robison, Peter Lyon, George A. Payne, Ransom Rogers, Theory A. Clearwater, George D. Wood, William Bell, William R. Mercer, William E. McLean and Eilert Harmes, who for sep arate answer to the complaint of plaintiff herein filed, say that they deny each and every allegation in the said complaint specifically. 2nd—And the said defendants for second and further answer herein say that they admit the execution by them of the bond herein sued on as sureties of the said Newton Regers, who is the principal defendant in this action, and that the said bond was for the purpose set out in the said complaint, but said defendants say that there has been and was no forfeiture or breach in the conditions of said bond that he, the said Rogers, fully accounted for all monies received by him as such Treasurer, during the term of office covered by said bond, and paid over to himself, as his own successor in the said office, all money or monies re ceived bv him as Treasurer as in complaint alleged, according to law. Defendants allege that the said Rogers on the —day or October 1878 was re-elected Treasurer of said county as in complaint alleged, and re-entered upon the duties of said office, on the 22nd day of August 1879, in pursuance of such reelection, that at and upon his settlement, as such Treasurer, with the said Andrew Grimes as Auditor of Vigo County, on the day of December 1879, the same being his first settlement after the expiration of his first term of office as such Treasurer, the said Newton Rogers fully and satisfactorily accounted to the said Auditor and also to the Board of Commissioners of Vigo County, at their said December term 1479, for all money and monies received and paid out by him as such Treasurer, his said report of monies on hand and paid out by him as such Treasurer and his settlement with the said Auditor, and the said Board of Commissioners, in pursuance with such report, haviDg been duly approved by the said Auditor and the said Board, as by law required, and that no deficiency or defalcation was then and there apparent upon said report and settlement in pursuance of the same, nor did any such defalcation or deficiency then ana there exist in the accounts ot the said Auditor, (a copy of which settlement is filed herewith marked "A" and made part of this answer) he, the said Rogers, having previously, to-wit: on the 22nd day of August 1879, entered upon his second term ot office as such Treasurer, he having given and filed anew bond, as by law required, conditioned as in the bend herein sued on. Wherefore defendants say that by reason of the foregoing they, the said defendants being only sureties upon the bond sued' on, are fully discharged from all liability as such sureties wherefore they ask that this suit be dismissed and that they recover their costs in this behalf expended. 3rd—And the said defendants for a further and third answer herein by way of cross complaint, complain of their co-de-fendant, Patrick Shannon, and say that they, the said defendants aie each and all of them sureties for the said Newton Rogers, who is their principal that they have executed said bond, as such sureties, without any consideration whatever paid to them by the said Rogers, but simply to enable said Rogers to discharge tbe duties of said office that they, the said defendants, have not received any money, property or thing, to be had and held by them by way of collateral or indemnity against any liability which they might incur as such sureties, on said bond that they have had no profits arising from the use* of the funds of the said Treasurer, nor have they or either of them grabbed at the said funds to indemnify themselves as such sureties against any Utility which they might incur on the said bond. But the said defendants allege and charge their said co-defendant that he, the said Patrick Shannon, has received from the said Rogers, and now has in his possession, the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars in money, which said sum belongs to and is apart of the said funds sued for that the said sum of $2,500 was apart of a still larger sum, to-wit: the sum of |30,0CH\ which was deposited by him, the said Newton Rogers, in his official capacity as Treasurer of Vigo county, with the said defendant, Patrick Shannon, who is a private banker in the city of Terre Haute all of which money was apart of the funds in charge of the said Rogers, as such Treasurer, and the equitable title to which, as was well known to him, the said Shannon, was in the said county of

Vigo that the said sum of $2,500 out of the said tunds was delivered by the said

Rogers to tbe said defendant, Patrick Shannon, to be had and held by him, the said Shannon, as a collateral or indemnity as against any L'abilily that might exist or arise on the said bond sued on, and the new bond of the said Rogers above referred to, and for no other purpose whatever that the said Shannon still holds said sum of money (to-wit, the said sum of $2,500) without consideration other than that above set out that the defendants have demanded of their said codefendant, him, the said Patrick Shannon, that the said sum be delivered up by him and appropriated to the sum due from said Rogers in final settlement of his

taccounts

as such Treasurer. But the

said Shannon still holds and retains said money and refuses to give up the same, upon proper demand. Wherefore, these defendants ask that they and each of them be net required to contribute as against tbe said sum ot $2,500, so had and held by the said Shannon, and the ten (10) per centum thereon: and that they and each of them be held only as sureties of the said Shannon for the said sum, and the ten per centum thereon: and defendants ask all other proper relief. And that be be declared a Trustee as to said sum and that he holds the same in trust lor the use and benefit of himself and bis said co-sureties on said bond, and that judgment be bad accordingly. 4th—And the said defendants for a further answer by way of cross, complaint against their said co-defend-ant, Patrick Shannon, say that they and each of them have been and are sureties of the said Newton Rogers upon the bond sued on, without consideration that they have received from said Rogers no money or property or any article of value by way of consideration for their signing said bonds and becoming liable thereon nor have they had, or shared in anv way, in any profits arising out of tbe funis in charge of said Rogers as such Treasurer. But defendants allege that their said co-de-fendant, he, the said Patrick Shannon, is and has been for the past five years and more a private banker in^the city of Terre Haute that the said Shannon signed and executed the said bond as surety of tfye said Rogers, at the request of said Rogers, and by a collusion between them, and upon a special contract made between him, the said Rogers, and him, the said Shannon that he, the said Rogers as such Treasurer, having in his custody and charge a large amount of funds collected as taxes by him, the said Rogers, or received from his predecessor in office, should deposit a large portion of the said funds in the private bank of the said Shannon, to be by him, the said Shannon, used and kept for the advantage and interest of said Shannon, which said contract was not known to the defendants when they had each of them signed and executed said bond that in pursuance of the said contract and agreement, the said 8hannon received of and from.the said Rogt rs. by way of a deposit, a large sum of money, to-wit the sum of $80,000, which he, the said Shannon received and used as a monetary deposit and upon which, and by the use in loaning the same and in otherwise (-peculating upon the same, he made and realized a large profit, over and above the interest paid by said Shannon to the said Rogers, to-wit the sum of five thousand dol lar?, which said sum, they, the said defendants pi ay that they be not required to contribute against, except as sureties for the said Shannon, nor for the ten (10) per centum thereon. And they ask that the said Shannon be declared a trustee as to saiil funds and that he holds the same in trust for the use and benefit of himself and his other co-sureties on said bond, and forjudgmeat accordingly, and for all other and proper relief. 5th—And the said defendant?,for a furth erjand separate answer and cross complaint against their co-defendants, Patrick Shannon and Fleuzy F. Keith, and also against John S. Beach and Philip Schloss, whom defendants ask shall be also made defendants herein and required to answer .this cross complaint, they, the said John S. Beach and Philip Schloss being si curities on the second bond io the complaint referred to, say that May J. Rogers is the wife of the said Newton Rogers, that the said defendant Newton Rogers, after he entered upon the duties of the oitice of Treasurer, as in the complaint alleged, purchased and paid cut for the same out of the funis received by him U9 such Treasurer, the following described real estate to wit: Lot No. seven (7) in James A. Modesitt's subdivision of the southwest part of out-lot No. eleven (11) in the city of Terre Haute,county and and State aforesaid, of the value of $4,000. Defendants allege that after the purchase of the said lot the said defendant Rogers, from the same funds, put and made lasting and valuable improvements on the said lot to tbe value and extent ot $4,000 additional, making a total value of said lot of $8,(J00 also the southwest quarter of section six (6), township thirteen (13) north, of range eight (8) west, and the northeast quarter of section 1 Township 13 North, ef range nine west, except 90 acres off of the North aide thereof said two last mentioned tracts or parcels of land being ot the value of $10,000. That after the purchase of the same the said defendant, Rogers, out of the same funds made lasting and valuable improvements to the value of $2,000, making the value of said real estate with improvements upon the same of the amount and value of $20,000.

Teyed,

and tbe amounopaid by the said

Shannon, Keith, Beach and Schloss, towit: the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000)., Wherefore defendants say that the title of the said Newton Rogers in and to all the real estate above described, which real estate should constitute a part and parcel of the assets and funds of the said principal for the discharge and payment of his obligation upon the bond herein sued on, has been fully divested as against the said Newton Rogers and these co-defendants, by the act of said defendants Shannon, Keith. Beach and Schloss and the same lost tojthese defendants in fraud of their rights as sureties, wherefore these defendants ask and pray that they may not be required to contribute as against the amount realized by thetr co-aefen-dants Keith, and Shannon,and the said Schloss and Beach to-wit: the said sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000,) but that these defendants be only held as sureties of the said Keith, Shannon, Beach and Schloss for the said amount. And that they be declared trustees as to tbe said real estate, and the full value thereof, and that they hold in trust for the use of themselves and these defendents as co-sureties on said bond sued on.

Tbe case came up again this morning iu the court on a demurer presented by C. F. McNutt to the second paragraph of the defendant's answer and cross bill. The position taken by Mr McNutt was that the second paragraph contained no allegation or matter which could not be proven under the general denial and that the same only tended to encumber the record that the alleged settlement with the Board of County Commissioners did not and could not bind the county. Wm. E. McLean of counsel for the sureties, argued the validity of the second answer and took the position that this answer operated as a bar to suit on the first bond

That under the provisions of the statutes,

it being made the duty of the Treasurer

to make annual settlements with the Board of Commissioners at the June term of each year, that the rccord would show that at the June term, 1879, of the Board of Commissioners, the Treasurer did make such settlement showing that at that time there was no deficiency in his accounts that it was further made the duty of the Treasurer, under the 7th section of the act governing County Treasurers, to make an exhibit of the money on hand at least once a year to the Board that it must be presumed that such Board acted in all respects according to their duties as prescribed by statute, and that if they did not thus insist upon such exhibit of the funds on hand in his office, as required by law, that the same was such laches or negligence upon the part of such Board as would operate to release the sureties on the first bond. Upon the power of the Board of Commissioners to bind the county by such settlement Mr. McLean cited 22d Ind., page 134, and several other authorities, Mr. Buff, also of counsel tor sureties, followed Mr. McLean and insisted that the answer was a good and valid plea in bar. Judge McNutt replied and the matter wa9 then taken under advisement.

OSCAR WILD!

i, The l.rcturinf K«thei«,

The lion in New Yoik society at this {iresent writing is Oscar Wilde, a young rishman, wL-o landed from the Arizona on the second of January, professedly disappointed that nothing "utter" in the way of a storm bad occurr during the voyage. There seems to be nothing more remarkable about Oscar Wilde than an intense peculiarity, which his admirers call genius, practical-minded folks humbug, with financial gain

l\w

:n

view, and a

remaining class, consummate weakness and folly. It is not tor us to det ide whether either of these views is the correct »ne to take. We think hat possibly Mr Wilde's singularity is partly due to nature, partly to affectation and largely to profit by that weakness in human nature which .uses peoplw to run after aoy

^}d curious thing. In this instance,

the object of curiosity, et-nfined pretty much to people of "society" proclivities, is a young man, fairly good looking, of gentle blood, well-educated, and wjth wondrous turn for suave and persuasive talk. Of the greatest importance to that person himself is the fact that the attention being given him, which is very considerably the produot of astute business, methods on the part of the gentleman: who acts as his manager in the lecturing^ tour which he has begun in this country, promises to net him a great deal ot money Prosessional ictheticism is now at a premium in the Americar market. Both English and American caricature have been and are helpful to this substantial result, that of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience" most particularly Between the caricature and the real ajsthete there do appear to be many strong points of resemblance, for Oscar Wilde's appearance, talk and manners are sufficiently distinct from tha? of other men to give him an individuality which perhaps tbe most of people laugh at but many admire, and all, directly or indirectly, assist to make profitable to tbe penien most concerncd

Who is Oscar Wilde, the darting of tbe Fifth Avenue? He is the son of Sir William Wilde, who was an emiuent oculist, surgeon oculist to Queen Victoria,. ', founder and chief of staff of St. Mark's Ophthalmic and Aural Hospital, Dublin, and an eminent archaeologist and author, twice distinguished bv his election as President of the Royal Irish Academy. His mother. Lady Wilde, was a poetess and novelist, knowofto fame as

l,8peranr,V'

Born in an enviable social status, Oscar enjoyed the educational advantages of his position, but neither at school nor college manifested great ability. Within the last two or three years, however, be has been the acknowledged leader of thatclass ot persons in London society who profess to find the secret of life in beautv and who industriously spend their time,: or fancy they do, in the enjoyment of the beautiful where less gifted mortals fail to find it. A few months ago,be published a volume of poetry, not destitute of goodi verses, but condemned for its fieshineea by tbe severer critics. As we said before^ Mr. Wilde landed in New York on the" second of January. lie began his campaign as a lecturer at Chickering Hafl, inr-, the Empire Citv, on the ninth of thesame^ month,his subject being: "The EnglishRenaissance." He was dressed in full* dress coat, white vest, black kpee breech-" es, black silk stockings and low shoes?' with buckles but he did not cany either a sunflower or a lily in hife band.
