PUBLIC MONEY.

The watch-dogs Of the Treasury, from Mr..
Carson, of North Carolina, and Gen. Duff
Green, of the Telegraph, down to the National
Republican ard Cincinnati Advertiser, have
made loud and erievous complaints about the
waste of public money in purchasing billiard
table, and in the paymen, Of outfits and salaries
TO the Messrs Kings. What would they say,
should it appear that their most Immaculate
Cincinna,us Of the Hermitage has fingered pub.
lie money on much more extensive scale:
For instance: Gen. Jackson resided a, the
Hermitage, from the close of the war say April
|, 1915, 10 June /, 1921; six years, with the e1-
cepton of the time devoted to the Seminole war,
about eight months. What would they think
if the General charged the government, while
residing al home, for the rem, OF his own house
under head Of "quarfers," say 800 dollars per
annurh! For burning his own hre-wood, under
head of "fuei," | SO dollars per annum? For
the employment of his own backamoors, under
head of ,Qi,ons and clothing for screen SERVANTS"
! 900 dollars per annum' For keeping sevea
horses, under head Of "torage." 600 dollars PEI
annum? For monthly pay, 2,4oo dollars per
annum--making aggregate thus:
Quarters 500
Fuel $50
Rations and clothing, 900
Forage, 600
Pay, 2,40O

When this charge was first made against Mr.. Clay,
he promptly threw himself upon the house OF repre-
sentatives for his trial, ayowng his innocence, de-
manding the proof, and acknowledging that ii he
guilty Of so fragrant and dsgracoiui violation
ri the representative character, lie was unworthy to
preside over its deliberations. The wretched kre-
mer whose furious zeal and bisoied understanding
had made him the dupe and catspaw of men more
artful and designing than HIMSELF receded roln his
ground covered with disgrace, which if justice had
been done, should at least have been shared BY
other men Notwithstanding this virtual acquiital
of Mr., Clay. the charge Of bargaining and corrup-
eon was still wrHng upon in every form, upon the
floor OF congress and in thu public prints, and since
the 4th March, 1925, has formed the grand and in
cxhaustible topic of ractinneering defamation
against the Administration, But when it was least
hoped for, Though not until it had diilsed tstrust of
Messrs Adams anil Clay throughout the union, and
had given tone and edge to the most viruent oppo-
sltion ever before seen in this or perhaps in any
other enlightened country, this charge which nobody
would father, which could be traced to no pons
bic origin, IS directly assumed as we'll founded and
repeated by Gen. Jackson himself---and strapeest

TDURSUANT to clause therein con-
tanned, the subjoined Act is pub
lished for the information of all persons
whose lands are returned delinquent for
the non-payment OF taxes. It's provis-
ions are entitled to immediate attention.
as they hold out to those interested the
following peculiar inducements to re-
deem their lands, if redemption is ever
intended.
1. Ii bona .fde purchasers, whose
deeds have been duly recorded, prior to
the Act, shall show in the mode pre-
scribed, that they have paid all the pur-
chase money, not leaving in their hands
sufficient 10 discharge the taxes and da-
images que at the time of the purchase,
the land shall be exonerated from ali
arrears up TO that time.
2. If it be shewn, that the taxes were
enormously charged, or paid, (although
returned Delinquent the same relief is
afforded.
3. A further time until the first of
July, 1928, is allowed for the redemp-
ton oflands forfeitedto the LiteraryF
and as such lands were not generally
re-assessed pursuant TO the act OF 1917
provision is made for such reassessment
at the cost of the owner, by which the
rate oftaxation will be considerably re-
duced.
y 4. With respect to lands forfeit
ted to the Literary Fund: claimants
who derive title under Junior grants from
the commonwealth, bearing date prior
to the forfeiture, and whose lands have
been improved and settled, may, on
paying an equitable proportion of taxes
and damages, obtain REIMBURSEMENT
Oft commemorative right, although
such lands may have been comprehend-
ed in larger or older grants. But this
privilege will not exist until after the
first OF July, 1928, and only from that
time to the first December, 1890
This provision is particularly interesting
to non-residents.
AS innumerable tracts of land have
been returned delinquent in almost eve
ry part OF the commonwealth, of which
the present proprietors are probably TO-
norant,-the propriety of addressing en-
quiries on the subject to this Office is
suggested. IN making such enquiries,

quantity and situation Of each tract
