The following card appeared In the Columbia Daily Pheeoix of tbo 21st Inst. Exwitririve DarAKTMKirr, ) Statu Tkbasukt Offiob, | Columbia, 8. O., March 20, 1871 Editor Phasnix : It if not ray intention to etigago In a newspapers controvetsy: I have noitlior the time nor tho inclination to do to. I only ask, this once, sufficient spaco in your columns to present a tew facts and reports,-Jit, reply to your correspondent, Gulchas." 1. Tho Treasury Office of this State is subject to an annnal ex ainination, or investigation, by a joint committee, applnted by the Geneiol Assembly. J?ftcloted are the reports of the several commit tees appointed by law to perform that duly since-1 have been Trens urer, to which I invito tho atten tion of the public. 2. I shrink from no duly authorized investigation of all the transactions of iny office, nor never have. 8. Tho law clearly dodoes the manner of safe keeping and dis burseinent ot the public funds which cmne into my hands, and it has boon faithfully complied with in all cases. Not a dollar has ever been received in this office but what has been and can be duly and properly accounted for; nor has ono dollar ever been paid out oi tho. treasury without the np proval of tho Governor, with his signature upon the check, as prescribed by law. 4, Whatcvor discrepancies exist, if any, in tho published reports of the Comptroller General, between the reports of the Treasurer and the Financial Agent, whetlnr of u typographical character, or from u-linf?v?*r oiiniu>. tliov will in dim time be corrected, and the State has not and cannot suffer harm.? If any harm does result to any par ty, it can only fall upon the officer who has committed the error, not upon the State. 5. The State finances are improving. There was, it is true, a period of serious decline in the value of their securities, for which the Treasui'fer was in no sense rosponsible. That decline was mainly attributable to the base attacks that wcro made upon the administration, in a fiece political contest, by the public press That influence? 1 trust, has been at last overcome. The condition of tho market value of these securities, tor tho past ten days, is the best indication ot it. If tho State iB not in good credit, it is certainly no fault of mine. 0 l>uihig a pcrnd of almost three yoar* which 1 hnve served u Treasurer of tbe State, I have been brought 1010 contact w ith the better portion of the people frotn all part* of tbe Slate, ineu of property and standing, professor* the of University, lawyer*, editor*, merchant* and public officer* of both political par* tie*, and I elate, without fear of contra* diction, that not one of tbem all will charge me with corrup'ioo or dishonesty in my dealing* in a tingle instance, nor that I ever failed to regard itrictly every obligation and promise made to tbem. 7. I know tbe author* (some of iheni at least) of.the -gross attack* that have been mado upon me. I know their aim* and the end they have in view, and I say now, once for all, that know ing iny duty and my right*, conscious of bating performed that duty, 1 shall continue to peiform it, regardless alike of vile published slanders or almost daily threats of unknown as?a*?ins.

It it an exercise wo reserve for an idle hour. In summer, we may repose beneath the shade of a fa vorite tree, and whilst we recall tho adventures of childhood, enjoy nt the same time, the surrounding scenery. In winter we may sent ourselves beside the blazing hourth, and whilst wo recount many a past deed, we can, at the ssinc time, enjoy our fireside security and feel alive to the present; but in this the mind is at cose; no labor of the intellect, no perplexity attends it.
