THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19.1885.

NB WTON ROGERS' BOND. It is o'w something over three years since .Newton Rogars ceased to be Treasurer ol Vigo luaty. He had served two terms. It was found in making his setilemeut that he would be several thousand dollars shoit in his accounts. He had of course a oond foi ach term. And the bond was a good and sufficient one in each rase. On the bond tor his second rui were many persons who had been on the first bond. Altogether these bondsmen were aboui twenty in number.

Naturally the discovery of the short Age created a sensation in the communi ty and especially am jug the bondsmen. These boQdomen, it ia to bf said, with the except ons to be noted later, »ere lor the meet part among the best and most reliable and hoaest citizens of the coun ty. P, ople felt scrry lor their rnisfortuce, but i*«. was perfectly well understood by t*e community and by themst ives that the misfortune was theirs and not the county's, nni that tiicy would gather up ali the odds and ends of the defaulter Rogers' assets and then go down into their own pockets and pay the deficit.

This, we repeat, was perfectly understood by everybody for everybody knew that that is what bondsmen were for. Mo act ot' Gi nad intervened to ruin gers and give them a pie* tor escape. The county safe with the county funda therein had not been robbed. Fire bad not burned up the- money nor floods washed it away It was a plain and simple a»d unadulterated case ot the CUR* todi»n ot be funds using them up and not haviug them to turn over to his successor. Merer since bonds were invented as a system to secure the people against loss by the infidelity ot a public official was there a ctwe so plain ot the liability or boudsuien. The people understood tt is and so did the bondsmen. Let us quote iiom the editorial columns of the GAZKTris oi nearly three years ago on this subject, when it was under discussion. Tin- quotation will not only show how the matter was regarded then, but it will also th the conduct of one of the bondsmen at the reason why the apparent shortage is a* much as it is. The GAZBTTE then said: ""This bond matter was all but settled once. Mr. Rogers was to pay over all his money on at posit anywhere. He was to make over to his bondsmen all his assets. The bondsmen then as a whole, and acting with Mr. Rogers, were to borrow an amount of money equal to the *hort8gQ in his accounts and he was to settle lull aod at once with his successor, Treasurer Ray. During the ensuing month* is aesets were to be converted into cash aiid aj.pii«d on the note. The deficiency then found to exist, and which wou.d probably not have exceeded four five thousand dollars and possibly have, been noiL iDg, would have been paid by the bi-udtmeu and would not have amounted to more than one or two thousand dollars apkev. This would have ea^ed all trouble and litigation. To litis every one. agreed, Patrick Shannon included. jj| S but there was & misunderstanding after all. The bnnfismen knew that Mr. Rogers had $2,502 in Shannon bank, for Mr. Rogers told them so, and the first step iD ine settlement was the application of that sum to the shortage. Shannon also knew there was $2,502 of Oounty funda, or funds of Newton Rogers (this point is a question of law) in his bank, but he thought Rogers was as dishonest as himtelf and had entered into a secret and corrupt understanding with him wheiebv the other bondsmen were to be ctiiseltd out of that amouot. He agreed to the plan of settlement proposed, thinking th«t a check tor only $502 •would be drawn on his bank, and that the $2 000, of which no one, as he supposed, but himself aad Rogers knew, would be left there in bis cket, and to the end thai, while the shortage of Mr. Rogers was increased by that amount -ana the other bondnuen would be compelled to aw it good out ot their pockets, he would make money out of the transaction.

His reason lor this was prob'bly that he had been given the use ot $10,000 of the county tunds for two yea:s at 6% perc-nt and ol $10,000 lor two years at 4 per ceni., nni ot a deposit probably averaging over $15,000 aud maybe as .much as $20,000 tor lour years lor nothing. He g,t to tliio&iug thbt the money that was iu eveiybody's pockets and the blood th«t tiuwed in everybody's veins was his."

Well, naturally, when the other bondsmen found that Patrick Shaunon was proposing to muke nearly $2,000 off ot them by this settlement, besides the several thousand dollars he bad already made by the use of tbe county luuds, they would not settle. Then began ex. pensive litigation which is not ended yet. C. F. McNutt, the county attorney •promptly brought suit. He has been pushing it with untiring persistence and, commaoding ability ever since. He obtained a judgncent in the lower court and it was appealed. He followed it to the supreme oourt and the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. The claim

ihsp^S

Hm'r

of the county is now in the form of a judgment and tbe money itself ought •oon to be in the county tteasury.

Meanwhile, during all Ibis litigation, the expenses oi the suit have been piling up both on the county and oo the bondsmen. Interest has been paid by the •ounty to the present county treasurer on the money that ought to be in hid care but has not bees. Meanwhile Patrict Shannon has held on tight to that $2,000 he had when the failure came and has had the use of it ever since. Meanwhile also some six or seven thousand dollars of the assets of Newton Rogers in the torm of outstanding notes and accounts has been collected by an agent of the bondsmen and tor them.

Now comes the amazing part of this story. When the Legislature met Patrick Shannon went over to Indianapolis, opened rooms on the parlor floor of the Bates House and,spent several days there lobbying. What he was there for was not known until lately. It is now plain. A. bill has been introduced in the Senate and ia the House releasing the bondsmen from all liability on this Rogers bond. In tbe senate the bill eras introduced by S-nitor Hilligas, from the northern part ot the state. Why by him is not knop^, as Phillip Schloss is a Senator from *go county and ought to know all about,Vigo county affairs and especially about this bond since be is on both bonds. But ol course he will denounce the bill when it comes up. The bill was promptly referred to a committee and for nearly a week the GAZKTTB has been endeavoring unsuccessfully to secure a copy for publicaion.

It was aiso introduced in the House without reading and referred to a committee. The OAZXTTI has the assurance of Repreeentatl^Debs that, he will op pose it.

The cffect cf the passage of the bill will be to saddle on the county a defalcation which has gvownr very much larger by time and delay and especially by reason ot litigation to which the county was subjected .unwillingly. It will leave in Patrick Shannon's pocket $2,000, now grown to over $2,500, to wbicb he has no more right than he has to all tbe money in tho county treasury at tbe present moment. If he can kei that money now, which he originally secured by methods which, for the sake of poor fallen humanity, we are glad to believe many men now in in tbe penitentiary would not stoop toT then let tbe criminal code be abolished and the penitentiaries give up their inmates. iBesides if this bill passes, some five or six or seven thousand dollars of the asstts of Rogers, now collected, will go to him or to his bondsmen and the great and only victim will be the poor tax payers of the couuty. If this bill passes, hereafter bonds need not be taken for there never could be a stronger case than thid. For the bondsmen of Nekton Rogers, except Patrick Shannon ar.d except also Senator Philip Schloss if it shall be found, as we hope and beiieve it will not be, tbat he is using his position as Senator from Vigo county to shuffle this obligation from his own shoulders onto the backs of his constituents, whose rights he is sworn to uphold—tor these bondsmen, we repeat, the GAZETTE is truly sorry. The meanest thing a man can be called upon to do is certainty to pay the debts of a man who has mnde way with his own substance and the substance of others. But they are not the first men ever caught. It was their voluntary act—this going on the bond, and having undertaken to stand between the tax payers ot the county and loss they must do it. Tho legislature can not iu honor, aud must not undertake by pass, ing this bill to legislate several thousand dollars out of the pockets of tbe tax pay* era of Vigo county.

TUB PROPOSED APPORTIONMENT BILL A bill to re-apportio.i the state of Indiana for congressional and legislative purposes is pending in the Legislature. It is known as the Patton bill from tko name of its author, the representative from our neighboring county of Sullivan. Various attempts have been made to contuse the public mind about this measure. It is well to have a distinct and full understanding of the matter.

In the first place it is sought to create the impression that it is a Democratic' attempt to disturb matters and is wholly unnecessary. To this it may ba said that the law requires the state lo be redis stricted every six years for congressional and legislhtive purposes. This is the sixth year. It is ha duty ot the legislature to re-district thu state. It has no option in the ma'ter It is obeyiog tbe law.

The second statement is that it is being unfairly done Let us see How is it here? It is proposed to change Warren couuty tiom this district to the Logansport district and to add Sullivan in its stead. Well, is there any man, without regard to politics, who will say thib is not right and appropriate Terre ^Haute is the largest town in the district and the counties ought to be grouped about it. With Warren county and Vigo there is not the slightest communicatioo on busi ness, socially or any other way. To get there from here one has to go into Illi nois. Our papers never go there theirs never come here. But the people of Warren county have a great deal ot com

A' & &"

municaticn with Logaoepcrt into whose district it is prop»«ed to put it. Now how is it with Sullivan? Are we not tbe cearest and best sort of neighbors? tween the two people there is the closest intimacy in business aud socially. A direct line of railroad rues betweeu the wo, and the river runs by botb. Our ^lawyers practice law there aud theirs here. Cases are continually being taken from one county to the other on change of venue. The people ot the two counties are interested in and thinking about the same things. Not a day passes that one or more citizens oi Vigo county do not visit there or some of theirs come here. Iu every way our interests are wadded and why should they not be politically united? The case is too plain to admit of argument. It is a wise and just and proper change and the world is challenged to proofs to the contrary.

Again, Vigo is given, in addition to its present representation, a joint representative in the Legislature with Sullivan and Park. The population of the I'iree cimfities warrants this. Will anyone here say this is wrong Does not everybody kuow it is right

These are samples of the changes pro« scd and no one can say that tbey are n6t reasonable, just and right. The bill will pa9S bccause it ought to pass and our representatives tad all others instrumental iu securieg its passage will de. serve well of their constituents for their eflors in that direction.

His

Bond Forfeited and Officers Dispatched in Pursuit of Him.

From SaturUaj's Daily.

The attorneys in the case of Samuel Rogers, charged with en attempted out rage on tbe little Piker girl, secured a jury yesterday evening and Special Judge Nevitt adjourned couu until to-day When the state put its firet witness on the stand this morning tbe defense, through S. R. Hamill, objreted to any evidence being heard in the case on the ground of error in the indictmem and in .the proceedings in tbe case. Mr. Bamill argued to the court on halt a dozen different errors which the detens claimed were tatai to the case. Oue wa's that the caption ot the indictment read "Vigo Criminal Court," when no such court was in exUttnce another was that there was neither an original nor a copy ot the indictment, as provided by law, tho original indictment having be^ lost aud the clerk having laiied to make a copy of ii another was that a wirrant bad never been is&ed for the ck ^ndant and he hnd never been arrested another was tbattue indictment was meaningless within the meaning of tbe statute. Thomas W. Harper on the part of the state answered each of the points aavauced by Mr. Hamill. Then the jury was ditchargeu until 1:30 ?. M. aud court adjourned until that hour.

THE O VURT FCDSTAISS THE DKFENSK. This afternoon the defe/ dint was conspicuous by his absence.

The court announced that it had sus^t&ined the defendant's motion that no evidence be heard, ou the point that an attorney could not waiw the constitutional and staiuatory rights ot his client.

The state attorneys called attention to tbe absence oi the defendant and asked that the bond ot $1,000 given in the case Jbe foifeited.

The court ordered the bailiff to call the defendaut and his bondsman three times, and no response beibg made the coart declared the bond lof eited.

Hamill, for delense, submitted to th' court instructions to be delivered to the jury that they return a verdict of "not guilty."

Harper, on behalf of the state, obj»eted on the ground that the defendant ant present. Sustained.

Harper made a motion to discharge the jury. Hamill said they koew nothing of the whereabouts ot their client and the ue-feudant'satf^r-pys would do all they could to aeoitt in bringing him into -court.

The court discharged the jury, over the defense's objection. On the application of the state, the court ordered a bench warrant issued to the sheriff tor the defendant on the old indictment.

Prosecuting Attorney Henry hurriedly tooit the wit:

Th* Bill lo Pension the National Mendicant Fails to Pass

Beoaass It Laoksd Two-Thirds Majority in the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—In the Senate, the bill to quiet titles ol settlers on Des Moines river lands wks taken up as unfinished business, Lapbam having tbe floor.

Sherman said a long discussion would defeat tbe object of tbe bill, owing to lack of time. He moved to lay it on tbe table.

Allison said tbis bill waa as important as any other measure before the Senate? Sherman's motion was defeated—2$ to 17.

On motion of Dawes tlie Das Moinea bill was temporarily laid aside that the Senate might take up the Indian appro priation bill.

Vest read a letter from tbe Governor of Montana saying that notwithstanding the relief offered by tbe government the con dition of the Indians in parts oi Montana from exposure and starvation is pitiable in the extreme. Vest addressed tbe Senate on the question. He said it was useh S3 to say "L^t the Indians work or die." It would be. like Baying to a child in tlie cradle: "Go to work or die.M

Plumb said he doubted whether so many Indians bad died from starvation as b»d been reported.

Vest said there waa BO doubt about the fact. Dawes said if tbe heavy band of tbe white man were taken off the Indians and robbery and rourier of Indians and their childrtn should tease, they would show they could support themselves.

After tulber debate. Vest's amendmtnt to increase tbe emergency fund from $25, 000 to $50,000 wss agreed to.

The House w*ni, mto comm ittee of the whole (Biouut in tho chair) on the legis l*tive appropriation bill. The Senate amendments to the army appropriation hill was non-concurred in, and a confer etiCe committee was appointed.

THK GRANT UBI IKBMKNT BILL. In the House, Slocum, of N-w York, under instructions from the committee oa military affairs, moved to suspend the rules and pass the senate bill for the retirement ot Gen. Grant. fiorr, and Warner, of Ohio, demanded a second to tbe motion to suspend the bills.

The motion was secoudtd—110 to 72 The thirty minutes debate allowed under tbe rules was opened by Slocum iu tiebalf ot the bill. He said it hfad otter been said that much bad been done tor Grant, but nothiog hud been done tor nim bv tbe United States government beyond paying him salaries to which he *as entitled by law. This bill, he said, proposes to place Gen. Grant in the same position he would have occupied bad he uoi, in accordance wi'.b tbe will ot tbe people ot ihe country, accepted the 1 fflcu of Chief Magistrate.

The motion to suspend the rules and pi.ss tbf Grant retirement bill was lost yeas 158, nayes 103—not the requisite two-thiids iu the affirmative.
