OF The Journal is sorely troubled in re.
gard TO The county expenses-especially thai
portion relating 10 the county printing, a
matter over which our neighbour feels very
sore. He cen just howl away for the pres.
ent. 1t would be pity to deprive him oi
everything to grumble over, and as he is de-
termined to be pleased with nothing but mig
gers. and niggerolcgy generally, he may as
well growl and snap away at the county
printing matter as anything else We shall
attend 10 that m alter, however, in due time.

INDIA SHAwLs.-At the last month.
ly sale by auction Of India shawls, at
London, the number Of purchasers
were as follows: fifteen French, three
English, three Americans, two Belgi-
aus, one Russian and one German
The stock consisted ofsix thousand, Of
which there were only one thousand
eight hundred veritable Cashmere
shawis. The remainder consisted of
Indian tissues of the value Of S. to
$6;it is only in England that these
common scarls find wearers. The sale
brought almost the sum of $SOO,O0O.
The French buyers proportion was
three millions. AS four of the prin.
cipal shops Of Paris have their agents
in Lahore, and thus receive directly
tl.eir goods from India, it is clearly
proved that France possesses almost a
monopoly in those articles of luxury.
There is scarcely a French lady, even
of very moderate fortune, who does not
possess one or more India shawls.

A Democratic Congress,

j. R. Giddings publishes a letter
in the Chronicle ofthe 14th inst, in
which he uses language quite compli.
mentary to the last Congress. AS
that body was largely Democratic, we
are disposed to note the remarks Of
Giddings. He says:
Congress has been in session more
hours, has done more business at the
last session of six months and eleven
days, than it has at the long sessions
of nine months, in any Con-
gress for the last ten years. In this
one item it has saved to the Treasury
100000 ovel either Of the sessions
referred to.

to ask couple Of questions, which many
old citizens Of Athens county hereabouts de-

not rue that there is now or has been de-
ficit in the Treasury Of Athens couniy?-if
yes, how much? Secondly, is an editor who
will keep his readers ignorant Of an impor-
tant fact which concerns the welfare Of his
county fit person to be sent 10 Congress?--
We don't say that the people Of Athens are
more addicted to telling falsehoods than
those Of other places, but every one with
whom we have cunversed lately has told the
same story about a deficit in the Athens
Treasury! 1t was on the hypothesis that
they told the truth, that we advised The Jour.
nal Of this place to give the Messenger a
"blowing up" because it had kept silent in
regard TO the reported deficit. L; is not q
little singular that our Athens contemporary
can hear Of and publish reports concerning
defalcations in the treasures OF other coun.

similar reports affecting his own county,

a noted Republican as one of the Di.
rectors OF the Penitentiary. His name
lie Mendenhall. He was q delegate
to the late Republican State Conven-
ton, and voted for resolutions in that
body denouncing the Administration
of Mr.. Buchanan for corruption and
extravaganza. Observe how this pa-
triot starts out on his official career.
He is just the man Of coure, to de-
nounce his political opponents for ma
king too free a use of the public mon
ey. We quote from the Columbus
Gazette, edited by a Republican:
The Directors we're in session two
days, for which thoy were entitled to
Sc pay for their services, besides trav-
cling expenses. 1t will be remem.
bered that Mr.. Mendenhall came to
