VAN BUREN, March 18th, 1913.

Col. GEORGE w. CLARKE-SU Mr.. Carnall,
Sheriff OF Crawford county, in his communica-
ton OF the Sth inst, says, in regard to his
munication of the 23d ult., :" | assure you made
that statement for the benefit of the people, for
considered that they hau already been misled, or
rather they had never been informed any thing
about what most Immediately concerned them
that is, what become of their money"
Giving Mr.. CarnaII crodit for all that is due
him, for the information impaired 10 the public
mind. in his first communication, | think he fell
far short Of publishing any thing beneficial or ma
tera. In his second communication he is more
explicit, and differs very little from my opinion as
TO the state Of our county accounts up 10 the lst
of January, 1913 and if he had made that state
ment at first | would have felt very much obliged
TO him, and have been saved the trouble Of making z
ii myself. This is duty that does not doyolve
upon any OF the county officers, one more than
another, and if he took il in hand he should have
given all the information he could obtain, and give
that strictly. He could have obtained all he did
impart from our polite Clerk" who assisted me
in my researches for what published, by simply
making the necessary inquiries Of him.
Colonel, this is wicked world and let mans
intentions be ever phIanthropic, honest,
there are always persons ready to misconstrue his
actions. This unfortunately the case with
our Sheriff; for just about the time his commu-
nication, No. l, made its appearance, he needed
some six or seven hundred dollars in Sc rip, and
was trying to purchase il at fifty cents on the dol.
lar from persons VIII had it in this place they
Immediately raised the cry that he had only made
the publication to put down the value of scrip
Thus misconstruing his yrtuous intentions OF
turning an honest penny" by the Share-how un.
gerousl Mr.. Carnall is efficient officer, and
every way worthy Of the public trust that has do
voved upon him, and hope for years and year
to come that his 50 annual mess ges" may be sought
after by the public with the same avidity as the
messages of our Presidents.
The defalcation Of David r. Looney seems to
be in the mist all | know about the matter is
that his bond was gwen in 1910, and expired by
limitation in 1914. Why it not sued on by
any predecessor. do not know. 1t voida ble
by the statute of limitations, in April lS45, when
was elected Presiding Judge of the County
Court and knew that his securities would avail
themselves of that plea, and therefore did not
on it.

A Telegraphc despatch received at this Office,
yesterday afternoon, announces the destruction
by fire at the port of Cincinnati. Sunday night
last. of three large class boats the Trenton. Cir
cassian, and Hendrix Hudson. wharf-boat

S45.OOO-probaby a low estimate. There was
an insurance on them Of S2S0O0. The two first

covered, but burned to the waters edge while

ing for New Orleans, and had valuable cargo,

These boats were all nearly new, and were fast
running passenger steamers. The Trenton meas
ured two hundred and seven tons, and was owned
at Pittsburgh where she was buIlG in 1917. The
tonnage of the Circassian was one hundred and
seventy-eIght tons. She was built at Brownsville

was an accumulation of specie at the mines in

General Scott should take possession Of that por-

would speedily find channels to the United States

names Of manageable girls Of different
classes, with notes Of their figures, person
al attractions, fortunes, &c. These bro
kers go about endcavoring to arrange
connections, and when they succeed they
get commission of two or three per
cent upon the portion. Marriage in &c.
noa is quite matter of calculation, gene
rally settled by the parents or relations
who often draw up the contract before the
parties have seen each other and it is
only when every thing else is arranged
and few days previous to the marriage
ceremony that the future husband is intro
duced to his intended partner for life .
Should he find fault with her appearsnce
or manners, he may break off the match,
on condition of paying the brokerage OF
