The Report of the County Judge.

ES- We publish to-day the Annual
Statement of the affairs of our county,
together with the remarks of the Judge
thereon. The Report is made in the
Judges usually clear and explicit style,
and exhibits as much in detail as a
proper regard to economy would allow,
The exact state of the fiscal condition of
the county-what money was spent, and
for what it was paid out. The balance
sheet certainly shows most favorably for
the stewards Of our interests. With a
delinquent tax list of $284S 26, and
with no special tax levied to meet the
expense of the erection of county build
ings, and with the item for pauper sup
port looming up so largely, we yet find
ourselves in debt but $500 20. This
can easily be met out of the delinquent
list, as much of that will doubtless be
paid during the year. We have, there
fore, secured noble Court House, with
out the entailment of any debt, and the
rate of taxation can, for the coming year,
as it will be, lowered to the least amount
that will meet the bare expenses of gov
ernment-a great desideratum in these
hard times. We do not believe that an
other county@n the state can show as
good county buildings at less than dou-
BILE the expense of ours, or that one can
show, under similar circumstances, as
satisfactory balance sheet. The pres
ent administration is most able one, and
Its integrity is an undoubted guarantee
that the interests of the people will be
most jealously guarded hereafter, as they
have heretofore.

GS- We hear great complaints among
the farmers of our county in reference to
the coming wheat crop, and we have had
occular demonstration that it is very ma
terially injured We have seen two or
three fields in which nearly one half OF
the heads were blasted and entirely
worthless. The blight, rust, and worm,
with the nature of which we are not con-
versant, are all at work in its destruction.
We very much doubt if the farmers of
Buchanan county have much surplus
wheat to sell the coming year. Oats,
too, we hear, are good deal I'M ured.-
Corn, however, looks well so far, not
withstanding the extreme wetness of the
season.
We saw recently, upon the farm ofour
friends, the Messrs. Potter, of Newton
Township, fine field of Barley, the first
We have noticed in the county. Mr..
POTTER estimates its yield at about 35 or
40 bushels per acre.

Is the Democracy Faithful to the Prin-
ciple of Popular Sovereignty

Is A late number Of the Dubuque
Times, in demonstrating the equivocal
position Of the Democratic party, says
The Democrats profess to be much
devoted to the principle of allowing the
people to decide the slavery question for
themselves"
70 this assertion our neighbor of the
Independence Civiiion objects, and he
replies :
They not only profess to be much
devoted 10 the principle of allowing the
people to decide the slavery question for
themselves, but they act Oh that profes-
sion, as no one can deny who will take
the pains TO compare the features of the
Cinciunat platform with the subsequent
actions of the Democrats. Their course
which was SO much admired by Re
publicans-in the last Congress, album
dainty proves it; and the course of the
whole democratic press confirms it,"
We take it for granted that when the
Cipilian speaks Of the Democratic party
and press in this connection, it means
simply that political organization and its
organs, which, at the present time, AFRO
gate to themselves that title. The tenor and
aim Of the article proves this. We will
therefore examine the matter little, and
demonstrate precisely the amount of truth
contained in this paragraph from the
CIuiiian
The only principle in the Cincinnati
platform for which so-called Democrats
claim any especial credit, is that demon
mated Popular Sovereignty, which de-
cfared the right of the people Of terri
tory to form and regulate their domestic
institutions in their own way. This was
the language of the Kansas Nebraska
bill, previous to the passage Of which
this principle was in no sense part of the
political creed Of the Democracy 1t is
the endorsement of this principle by that
platform, to which the Civilian refers 1t
says the party has been true to the prin-
ciple. Let as see.
Kansas afforded the first opportunity
for the application and exemplifcation of
this principle. The Democracy were in
power, and it only needed willingness
on their part in order TO give il force
Minnesota was likely soon TO ask admls-
sion, and to maintain the present politi-
cal equilibrium II was. necessary that n
slave state should be ready to Offset it.
Kansas was the only one that could be
acquired, and Southern fire eaters were
determined that she should bear the brand

The Farmer Candidate.

James w. Cattell, the Republican nom
inee for Auditor, is a farmer whose whole
attention has been given to his extensive
and productive farm, except when he has
been summoned from the plough to serve
the State in a public capacity. The Qua
accountants in the State and as State
Auditor will keep a record without a
blot. 1t is not often that man is taken
directly from the field for so responsible
position but the admirable qualities
displayed by Mr.. Catlell in the Senate,
rendered his nomination certain from the

Publication of the Laws. &C.

We must crave the indulgence of the
public for the non appearance of the laws
enacted by the late Legislature. A sue,
cession of difficulties and unexpected de-
lays In our arrangements will delay the
publication of these laws beyond the usu-
al time. TWAS our confident expectation
and earnest purpose to get them out ear
lier than usual, although the the Legisla-
ture, under the new Constitution. meets
one month later, and sat nearly two
months later than usual. This last fact
should be borne in mind. The expense
OF gettlnga press and engine suitable for
the State work is nearly three thousand
dollars, including transportation. We
had hoped to provide ourselves with such
press, and delayed the work for that rea-
son. But we found it impossible to make
the necessary arrangements in. time for
the work on hand, and were, compelled
at length, to commence with such materi-
al as we have.
We trust that cur friends of the press,
if they hear complaint, will give US the
benefit of this explanation. In another
year We mean to be fully prepared, if
such thing is possible these times

We understand that SMITH, the horse.
thief, who, short time since gave Sheriff
MARTIN the slip, has again been arrested
through his exertions, and is now safely
secured in the new Jail at independence.
He was arrested in Usage; Mitchell Co.,
and there is no doubt that he belongs to
the gang OF thieves that has SO long in

has now a place to keep his prisoners, we
think there is but slim chance for any
more of them to get away from him.
