Hon. W. D. Morgan.

An independent aud straight forward
public officer, is sure to be the object OF
censure and malicious attacks by u GER
tain class of characters. No public of.
icer in Chic has received as much per-
ksonal aud uncalIed for abuse as Mr.
fMoReAN. lis position as Auditor of
State, throws him in contact with such a
variety Of character, that il would be
strange If SOM would not affect tobe dis
satisfied. As an officer, he is one offhe
most honest and efficient, Ohio has ever
had. As a citizen, his life is beyond re-
proach. 1t is true, he is a man of great
decision of character, and on this account,
some may not like him personally. Much
complaint has been made by j oppo-
neuts about Mr.. MoKGAN's position on
the tax law. If the law is wrong, it is
no fault of his. He is only the instru-
nlcnt to carry out the spirit and letter
of the law. He makes no law himself,
neither docs he put a construction on
any pertaining to his official position
The Attorney General is elected partly
for that purpose. L. is his business to
explain to State officers the meaning of
all laws connected with their official po-
sition. A State officer places no final
construction on any law where there is a
d oubt. This every intelligent person
knows. Then what a daring attempt at
humbuggery is made by our Know
Nothing opponents TO make the people
believe that Mr.. MoRGAN is the sole
cause of the operation of the tax law
He has only carried put the decision of
the Supreme Court of the State, on the
very sections of the law to which objec-
ton is made. If there is any wrong, it
is in the Law and the Supreme Court,
not in Mr.. MORGAN.
In connection with this subject We
clip the following from the Mt. Vernon
While in Columbus, a few months
ago a prominent Wing Of that city, who
s an honest and upright man, declared
US that VIM. D.. Morgan was the
pest Auditor the State of Ohio ever had.
He states that he carefully watched Mr..
IS course as a public officer and he al
Ways found him industrious and atten-
i've to his duties and scrupulously hon.
st and c~onciencious in all things. He
moreover that hosts of men who diff
with Mr.. Morgan on tie matter of
will vote for his reelection, be-
him to DO cminently worthy of a
'ublic confidence

Nc Rain for More than Four
Months.

We copy the following from the Gal
weston NetoS ofthe 9Th inst {:
''The Christian 1drocatc of this
morning says it is now four months aud
four days since We have had rain in this
city, though We have had short showers
in that time, which did very little good.
This certainly is a long time to do with
put rain. The principal suffering here
results from the injury to gardeus, and
the want of good water for the ordinary
purposes of life. our cisterns are near
ly all exhausted, and even water for
drinking is becoming scarce. For most
other uses our citizens have TO resort to
wells, which furnish water moro or less.
b~rackish, but which answers FIR washing
and other purposes. When We are again
to have rain passes all our power of
conjecture. W. have had to pay exor-
bitant prices for nearly all the necessa-
ries of life, and now, to add to the bur-
dens which have fallen 50 heavily on the
poor classes, they are having to buy ever
water at a price that renders the strict
est economy in the use of it absolutely
necessary

Is anything more wanted to explain the
painful discrepancy between what has
been done by the Russians and by the
allies? The former will be bound BY
no ties of seniority or class; they take
the man that will do his work the best,
and they get it the best done.
