eyes squirting toward designing Clique
to see how they nod and wink and direct
by occult signs, holding one arm out to
shake hands with voters, and the other to
the ear to catch all the faint signs Cd pop
ular approval or disapproval.
The Enquirer endorses Ellis Lewis, Esq,
for the Prosecutorship. (Of which we are
glad. He ought to be elected The Edi-
tor has " nothing to say against any other
aspirant" for the Office. We should think
he wouldn't. He had something to say
against Hardin, Land, and Antilles, and
stirred up considerable of hornets nest,
which insects sting sometimes. This the
Enquirer man has been made aware OF.
The Enquirer has several articles urging
its friends to do their whole duty on cleo
ton day. This is all well enough, but we
are surprised at the omission of one stand
ard Democratic regulation, which is" Go
to the polls; go soon stay oil day; vote
early; vote oftsn; ; vote frequently; vote all
the time be sure and get as many votes in
as possibIe.p AS the organ don't come out
again till after election, the Editor win
doubtless thank US for supplying this omis-
sion.
The Enquirer is down on Lane on the
temperance question, but we notice that it
says nothing against Edison. This is
strange, considering that Edison seeks to 60
to the Legislature where he has n cote on
the temperance question and is 4 Prohibit
ory Law man; while Lane will have no vote
on the subject, and is satisfied with the Lii
cense Law.
The Enquirer is down on Lane for his '49

word of rebuke. Why doesn't Willard
pitch in to Law for his abolitionism?
The Clique organ charges some of the Re-
publicans with having been Know Nothings,
but very conveniently forgets that the very
men who murdered foreigners in Louisville
are in this State ofIiciously electioneering for
Douglas and Hendricks Why are they
not anthematlzed
August Lemcke is said by the organ to
have withdrawn from fear of being beaten.
He withdrew for business reasons, as is well
known; and has been away from the city
ever since and will be on the river constant
ly from this time forward
The demagogic organ again talks about
:. common people," checked shirt Democ-
racy," sc. Nobody applies such opithets to
the Douglas party but their own organ
Its twaddle about aristocracy" is con-
temptible, and is the emanation of low
instinct The Enqurers own party docs
not thank it for uttering such stuff.

and the various other charges which he has
rendered so systematic. Not so and we
dare him to the proof
HORSE HIRE.
Mr. Sheriff cites q section of the statute
which authorizes the courts to allow reas-
enable compensation to bailiffs, but he has
been unable to find any law for paying
money ont of the county treasury for horse
hire. There is none. He cannot in justiC
say it is customary. We find in the admin
istration of previous Sherifs, that where
ever horses were hired, it was by the er-
press order of the courts, and for specific
purpose; and further, that Mr. Gavitt began
the practice of charging the county for
horses used in and out of term time,
and that, eighteen months after he had
been using his oVn horses. Perhaps he
found the latter method too expen-
sive, and it became necessary to make cus-
tom. The Sheriff is perfectly obliviOus to
the fact of Sunday horse hire. And he passes
by with naughty air, the horse-hire out
of term time. Why couldn't he be candid
and admit the fact that both of such charg-
es are found in almost all the bills during
the past year. We have heretofore shown
by the certificates of the Sheriff of Spen-
Ger, and the Clerks of Warrick and Posey
counties, that in none of these counties are
bills allowed out of the County Treasury,
and yet the law and the services are all the

EMPANNELING JURIEs.

He talks about the discretion of the court
for these allowances. We want to know
where the courts obtained the authority for
discretion in this particular. 1t can't be
found in the statute books. We think these
partizan judges had better, for their own
reputation and character, have exercised
little discretion in giving their false certif-
Gates to bolster the falling fortunes of a cor
rupt official. The Sheriff tells the people
about the great amount of services RENDER
ed by him in State cases, for which the
courts have occasionally allowed" We
have heretofore cited sec. IS, page l13,
Acts 1855, which states so erpHctly that
none but partizan judges could see the con-
trary, that in State cases the county should
not be taxed aoih any fees. The "discretion"
of these judges has overridden the plainest
provision Of the law. The certificates al
ready published from other counties, say
the Sheriff hardly ever charges anything
for calling juries, but when he does, he
charges ten cents only."

EXTRA SERVICES.

The Sheriff, with a tone of generosity,
tells the people that he has not taken from
the county all that was due to him Great
Heavens If he hasn't yet got all that is
his due, what may We expect of his future
demands ? He says that while it was the
practice of his predecessors to charge the
county with an annual salary as compensa-
ton for extra services, he, in the magma
nimity of his generous soul, has "not re-
ceived the one hundred dollars formerly al
lowed TO the Sherilfs, nor have I presented
any bill to the county for extra services" !"
And we are informed that he has been
parading this statement before the people,
ard defying denial of it. We give, "by
authority" a copy of bill for extra services
that he has rendered and drawn the money
on, to show the ehamefnlness Of his as
sertions.

ALLOWANCES To DEPUTIES.

The Sheriif's only defense for allowances
to deputies for services in court, is that they
were made in the discretion of the court.
We say that in this particular also the
judges have no authority for exercise of
discretion given them by law. The Sher-
iff in this as in other branches of his de-
fense seems ignorant of the fact that there
must be iatO for his drawing money from
the peoples treasury. The money was
placed there to be disburSed by authority Of
la,g and not by the discretion of partizan
judges.

business, perhaps thrce~fold greater. There
are employed at each term of the court from
four to eight bailitfs. There is always re-
