Week before last we briefly reverted to
the project Of building County Poor
House. got up by few individuals in Dan
vile, to throw the expense of the pour Of
Mahoning upon the county generally. We
then expressed belief that it would entail
upon the county large annual expense, in
dependent of the original cost Of the farm
and buildings. We have since been con-
frmed in this belief, by reading reports OF
the Directors of the Poor House of Bucks
county for the years 1885, 1896, and 1887,
furnished rs by friend. Il is now about
20 years since the first establishment Of a
poor house in that county. They have a
farm of 3 or 400 acres, upon which has
been erected buildings. Notwithstanding
the original cost of the property has been
paid; yet the yearly expenses Of the estab-
lishment are continually increasing, as ap-
pears from the following statements which
we gather from the reports before US.
For the year 1885, it cost the county to
sustain the poor house establishment, indie
pendent of the income from the farm, about
$4,000.
In 1886, $500
In 1897, GO0O
averaging about e 10 per year for every
pauper remaining in the poor house on
the first day Of January, of each year, inde-
dependent Of the interest upon the original
cost Of the farm and buildings, When we
take into consideration the fact that in the
winter season, the number of paupers in the
house is much greater than in the summer,
the actual average cost will be increased
to more than Gs5H, which IS more than an
average cost of the paupers Of Columbia
County under the present arrangement-
There are items Of expenses in the poor
house accounts Of Bucks County which
help to swell up the enormous expenses
of the establishment, and to which We should
be alike subject. We refer to the salaries
of the officers Of the institution. and the ex-
pense of Transporting pauPers to the poor
house. The average salary paid to officers
and their assistants, is about 1900 dollars,
besides about 400 dollars paid to constables
aud justices for their services in carrying
paupers from the different townships to the
institution. as no pauper is received unless
brought BY constable, upon the order of a
justice of the mace; making The round sum
of nearly $500 for salaries and fees
which is almost entirely dispensed with un-

Mr.. HeJJ-I see by the papers, that my
friend Charles IIehey, is candidate for the
offices of Register and Recorder and ask
the liberty of saying to the public, through
your paper that he is a married maa, and
well qualified for the Office, being good
English and German scholar, and a first rate
peusman, having performed the duties of
Clerk for several years. As he is unable,
from i'll health, to labor, the situation would
be very desirable one for him, and should
he be elected, l have no doubt he would
perform the duties of the Offices with cor
rectness, and give general satisfaction. In
addition to his other qualifications, he is a
strong friend 10 the removal interest.

der the present system. This, like the
other expenses Of the institution, is equally
divided among the taxabes of the county;
township having no pauper pays an equal
proportion according to her assessment, as
the one having twenty. From other coun-
ties where Poor Houses are established, we
hear statements which show that they are
more expensive than the present mode,
but not having official reports, we cannot
give certain statements from any other coun-
ty than the above. But this is sufficient to
show the impolicy Of our county entering
into an experiment which, to say the least,
will not decrease, if it does not increase,
| their poor tax. Can it be that we are bet
ter managers than the people Of Bucks
county ,or that we shall have officers who will
be more economical than theirsl They
have had the experience of twenty years,
and yet their expenses increase every year.
We are to enter into it at a time when the
county is already burthened with taxes in
consequences of building bridges, and other
expenses, and when, by SO doing, we neat
ly double them, for years to come, and fas-
ten upon the county debt that will remain
a mortgage upon every mans farm, the in
terest Of which must be paid annually
The poor are now sustained with but a
small tax in most of the Townships; SO small
that it is hardly felt, but we venture to say,
that, should the poor house law 60 into op-
Grafton, their tax would be nearly thre5ed.
Are the people prepared for this If not,
let every man attend the polls and cast his
vote against the law. Every exertion will
be used by the people of Danyille to pro-
cure its acceptance. is for their interest,
and all who know them know that when
that is at stake, no pains or expense are
spared We again repeat, let no man re-
fuse to vote, for he who does not vote a.
gainst it, adds to lhe strength of its advo'
Gates.

POOR HOUSE LAW, will next week

date was M. Passy. The latter was elected b,
majority of3O, greatly to the surprise ant
modification of the Carists and republicans
and the other Cdds and ends who had united in
the hope Of forcing the King to virtual surren
der OF his authority. The upshot of the mat
ter is that sufficient number of the Doc,rna.
res, late opponents ofthe King and Count Mole
have gone over-satsfed, probably, that the

From the New York Courier and Enquirer.
HUMILIAT1NG CoNTRAsT-l794 AND 1885,
Mr.. Senatar KING of Georgia, in the best speech
which he ever delivered in Congress, remark
cd that more grey hairs had grown upon the
head Of our Republic within fifty years, than
ought TO have grown there in centuries ofpeace-
ful and constitutional administration. We be-
lieve that he spoke sincerely, and therefore we
cannot credit the report that he has again allied
himsefwith the delaulters and plunderers now
in power; the men whom their friend Mr. Pick
ENs--the chivalrous Mr.. PICKENs, Of South Car
olina-- described as the most corrupt and pro-
fligatc set Of wretches that ever crawled into
power.
We we're never so forcibIy impressed with
the truth oc Mr. KING's remarks, as we have
been in porusing the letters Of General HAMlL-
ron and Mr.. WoLcoTr, in relation TO some OF the
early defalcations in the department of the
Treasury. Any one who will read these let
ers, which we repubish below, cannot fail to-
20 struck by the humiliating contrast which
hey present, with the letters Of Mr.. Secretary
WOODBURY.. written under similar exigencies.-
I will be perceived that the rule adopted by
General HAMILTON and President WASHINGTON,
n regard TO delaulters, was PeromPitory.--
I admitted of no evasion or excuse. When
public officer so far neglected his duty, as 10
Iuffer draft Of the department TO be returned
protested, otter he had given notice offunds on
