believed the county of Johnson, which he had the
honor to represent, to be medium county as TO the
business and profits Of county officers. He had made
some estimates from which he arrived at the conclu-

about five hundred and fifty dollars, and those Of
clerk, under special law performing the duties Of
county auditor about eight hundred dollars out of
which he must necessarily pay competent clerk !;
that under the reduction proposed by this bill, the
treasurers fees would be down TO about four hun

would be the effect of the bill as to the clerk but sup
posed his fees altogether would be reduced. If how

Another consideration should not be overlooked.

THE DOLLAR MARK.-We copy the following from
communication in the Southern Standard, written
by Beverly Tucker:
"Now, the most rational account | ever heard OF
the mark & is this The Straits of Gibralter called
of old the pillars of Hercules were also then
called the ne plus ultra of the world. Spain pushed
her discoveries to this continent, and when she
ried home the wealth that rewarded her enterprise,
she coined it into dollars and stamped them with
triumphant allusion to her great achievement. The
pillars they bear are the pillars of Hercules, and
across them is twned llet marked with the boast
ful words Plus ullra.'' Farther yet: the two
straight lines supposed to represent these pillars.
and the line that valves across them stands for the
6llet; and thus the mark is but rude picture of
this part of the impression
