some other statute. speak from memory
only, not having time to examine the stat
utes, or the papers in the case.
The charge for the complete Record is one
which it is necessary TO make before the Re
cord is made, to enable the administrator 10
pay over the money, and get final discharge
or guietus. And on most occasions during
Court, ii would take more time than the
clerk or administrator either can spare, to as
certain exactly, or within few cents, or even
dollars, on a large estate, the sum 10 which
the clerk will be entitled for making the
Record. Therefore, the course commonly
pursued, is TO make the best guess that can
be made, and settle accordingly, and it some
times happens that the clerk gets more, and
sometimes less than he is entitled to.
Indeed, | hold that it is impossible TO as
&c rtain the exact cost of the complete Record
until it is made, and that if the administrator
does not pay for IL until it is made, he can
never regularly get full discharge. unless
he is willing to pay it with his own money
If he settle everything else, and retains ONE
money for that, the Record shows balance
due from him; and after paying that. he must
report TO the Court; and that report and the
orders Of the court therein must 90 OH the
complete Record, and to pay for this he must
retain something, or pay it out oil his own
pocket, and so on without end.
Therefore, the course which has beer
found most convenient for all, and least ex
pensive, is 10 make the best rough guess
that the nature of the case will admit OF, ant
the amount lost or gained is of less importance
to the estate than the delay and expense o
the other course.

The Election.

The approaching August election is at
loast rich in local excitement. We can speak
for Posey and Vanderburgh counties in say
ing they present at this time a field Of strife
very hard to beat in any part of the State
The interest Of all other offices appears to be
absorbed, so far as the people are concerned,
in the State Convention struggle. In this,
although the candidates are opposed in poll
tics, and party feelings will have some play
and influence, yet in the main all are striking
out independently, and resting their claims
upon personal popularity. The names Of the
candidates for Senatorial Delegates to rep
resent Posev and Vanderburgh counties in
the State Convention-are John Pitcher, Of
Posey county, and Judge Lockhart, and
Major Robinson, Of Vanderburgh. The
County Delegate candidates are James f..
Blythe and VIM. II. Greenhouse.
Next Monday is the day of election. We
have NJ doubt there will be a full vote, judg-
ing from the present excitement. Let every
man do his duty by voting for the best men,
and without respect to politics. 1t makes no
difference whatsoever to either party wheth-
er the men elected be Democrats or Wings.
Politics or partyism will have nothing to dc
with the re-modeling of the Constitution
either directly or indirectly-nor should il
have any influence in the election Of Dele
gates.
The names Of candidates for other Offices
will be found in to-day's paper. We e1el
them without remark.
