Judas I.cariot and the Medium.

communication from the Spirit of Judas
Iscariot, through Mrs. Porter, medium,
in which he says the coin recently issued in
Wall street is correct copy of those with
which he was bribed. With an endorser SC
well acquainted with the facts, we do not
see that there is further room to doubt the
gcnuineness ofthe copy referred to.
Judas states that he betrayed his Master
for the money because he was poor and
needed it, further, that he received it from
the high priest about eleven o'clock in the
evening; that he was born in Jerusalem
1862 years ago; that he lived five years af-
ter the crucifxion. and was then choked up
on chair.-Posf.

Progress of the Commercially to zee II.
p The comet which was seen at Berlin on
the night of June 22d, by Klinkerfue, and
recognized at Paris on the 24th of the same
month, has been observed with sufficient
minuteness to trace its orbit. From the
observation of Messrs. Villacreau and
Iepissicr, at the Paris observatory, it is
aeertained to be far from its perihelion; and
that it will increase in brilliancy as it ap-
proaches, until it can be seen By the naked
eye. 1t will, indeed, approach tho sun, at
the same distance as the earth.
5 1t is also acertaincd by its movements,
the position of IFS perihelion and inclina-
ton to its orbit, that it is not the comet
of Charles v, which, it was calculated,
would return at some indefinite period be-
fore 1860, and which was recently announ-
ced for the 18th of june, to annihilate the
earth.
Is this errant body an old acquaintance,
returning in accordance with established
laws, which may be, observed and calcula-
ted; or is it a new conner, visiting ms fol
the FIRST time? 1t is impossible, 1T present,
to answer these questions; astronomers
must have had time to calculate its orbit
more closely, and to compare its movements
with those of similar visitors observed
heretofore. Two points, however, are set
tied. II is not the comet of Charles ";
and it can do us no harm, in consequence
Of the remoteness of its orbit from the
earth's.--N. y Post.

ture of their road tax they can so entrust
them by simply paying that tax. If on
the other hand they feel an unwillingness
to entrust their trustees with the expendi-
ture, or desire in any way to control it
within their own district, each citizen has
the election within himself.
But, say they again, the statute, vol. l,
page 467, sec. 26, creates heavy penalty
for the failure of the supervisor thus to call
out the hands of his district, and to collect
and sue for all fines and forfeitures. In
this case this is not so, and the statute does
not so read. In order to understand sec.
70, read sec. %, and then follow with sec.
70. The first says nothing about order
ing hands out to work; the latter does,
and in these words-"or who shall fail to
call out the hands of his district" &C.,
When? When two days work haze been
done and an unexpended tax lying in the
| hands of the Township Treasurer? Not
by any means, but the statute says "the
number of days herein prescribed" See
sec. 6. Does it stop here? If the statute
here in sec. 26 does not mean the two DAYS
work provided for in sec. 6, and does mean
extra work, il cuts them off in this case by
the balance of the same scntence-"unless
tar has been assessed for the repair of
such highways"
But to close--permit me to say that this
is the opinion of tho Bar generally-was
SO decided by Judge DEAvITT from the
Circuit Bench at the last term 1.-THE case
being decided upon other grounds than the
above, to-wit: that the supervisor had no
right to appeal, and is the opinion of the
Attorney General of the State of Indiana,
as will be seen by the following letter writ
ten upon statement of the facts existing
in this case:
CRAwFoEDsvILLE, Aug. 1st, 1857.

has been received. nmy opinion you are
correct in the construction you give the
statutes in question. The laborers can on
! ly be called or. the second time after the
road tax has been expended. 1t was clear
~ not the design of the law to double the
labor unless the first two days together
with the taxes were insufficient to put the
roads in proper repair and this is justice

utes. 1ours, in haste,

Road Law and Supervisors.

Having read an article In each of the
Plymouth papers upon this subject, beg
leave to add few remarks in regard to
the proper construction of the law appli-
cable to the case, as | understand it. The
position ] assume will attempt to sustain
both by sound reason and incontrovcrtible
proof, without regard to the views enter
taincd or expressed by others.
The Revised Statutes, vol /, page 463
section 6. provides that all the hands Ii
able to do road work shall perform two
days work upon the highways of the
road district in which they respectively re-
side. The position on the part Of the de-
fcndsnt in the action referred to in the Dem
ocrat was-that after these two days work
had been done under the statute, that il
there had been road tax assessed and that
tax was uncxpcnded that the supervisor
had no authority to call out the hands o
his district to DO any extra work until that
fund shall have been first exhausted.
Now let us look at the law. r. S. vol. /
page 465, sec. IA, provides that within ten
days after the receipt Of any money that he
is not required to pay into the hands Of the
township trustees, for the repairs of high,
ways-hc shall proceed to employ iaborer.
to repair the highways in his district and
that he shall in no case neglect tie repair
Of such highways.
Here the law in providing duty for the
Supervisor also creates protection for the
citizen. by providing that laborcrs shall be
hired-not that the tax payer shall pay his
taxes and at the same time be compelled to
do the work that he paid his monev to
have done, while that money lies in tn,
Trcasurcr's hands unexpended But thi.
seemed in the minds of the Legislators moi
to be sufficient protection. and the same
section goes on to provide "and il such la
Dor and tax. or labor where no tar las bee,
assessed shall be insufficient therefor, III
shall call out the hands in his district tt
complete such repairs" Now, lst, ii
such labor and tax''-what labor? Tha
referred to in the same section as the work
of hired laborcrs? Certainly not, but tn,
fwo dogs labor provided for in sec 6, pag'
463. Then if the two days work and tn,
assessed tax (or the work hired) shall b
insufficient. then the supervisor can cal
out the hands of his district and compc
them to do extra work. s,esa! f's.s 4
ladAgain, cor labor where no tax has beer
assessed, &C." What labor herc?--fh
same-the two days work. If these ar
insufficient. and there has been no township
road tax assessed. then the supervisor Cal
work his hands until the repairs are com
pleted. !aa8pFo fais fe 81 BE-
Another reason why the people canno
be called out is that it would be agains
public policy The citizen pays his tax
before he pays that tax he has his choic'

roads Of his district in communication 70

money is paid to avoid doing the worl

| lf rom the Lawrence Republican, August l3
The PRoGREss OF PAcIFIcATIoS.-PRo-
cEEDINGs IN the STAR CHAMBER.-We learn
that Mr. o. G. Browne, of 0sawatamie.
and Mr.. Charles Moffat. of Topeka, were
arrested last Saturday, at Lecompton. Mr.
Browne is charged, we understand, with q
participation in the troubles at Hickory
Point, at Osawatomie and other points last
year. What Mr.. Moffat is charged with
We do not know. Mr.. Browne has been ad-
mitted to bail. 1t is also understood that
the Grand jury, at its late sitting at Le-
compton, found bills against large number
of our citizens,-and it is quite likely that
we may soon have batch Of treason trials
on the docket again.
The object of this new movement is ap-
parent. Itis deliberate return to the old
harrassing policy of year ago. Gov.
Walker is at Lawrence with a large body
of troops. He has nothing for them to do.
The fire-eaters at Lecompton are determined
if possible to force our people into col.
lision with these troops. To that end. the
tax-gatherer-hated fool of tyrants-is sent
to wiring from the hardy, struggling set
tiers of Kansas their hardwrought earnings.
Prominent citizens, are to be arrested on
frivolous charges. Insult-menace- -iniu-
ry-are to exasperate the people. The trou-
bles of last year-which we have been ur.
ged by Walker, Perrin & Co., to forget
and forgive-to bury, &C., are all to be ra-
ked up again-the slumbering embers OF
hatred and revenge are to be famed to
fierce flame, old sores partially healed are
to be recklessly ripped open; in short, the
peaceful policy which Geary inaugurated is
to be abandoned, and we are to be carried
back to the dreary horrors which character
lied the UNANIMOUSLY memorable reign Of
| Shannon.
