RESPONSIBILITY or OffoiAie.-A

ON the ground that such officer

the bill passed, with the amend.
mcut of Mr., benjamin, authorizing

that a public officer is responsible
both for his fidelity and for the

executes his trust, and if any loss

which ordinary care and prudenc,
could not provide, his RESPONSE

Good Show Of Fruit.

Wherever a good show of fruit is seen
in this section, it is quite certain to at
tract attention, for the reason our or>
chards are not so much given to fruit
bearing as in some other localities. We
believe it is safe to say, that the most
extensive show Of fruit including apples
pears and grapes may be found on the
premises of Thomas Rowland, little
over mile from the city. Especially
in the line of pears, it is doubtful wheth-
er any fruit grower within fifty miles,
can equal Mr. Howland's show ofpears,
in respect to variety and quantity, His
pea trees are many OF them large and
loaded with fruit to their utmost capac-
lty' Mr.. Rowland mas given his atten>
tion to fruit growing, on the premises
where he now resides for more than
twenty years, and is now reaping some
of the rewards of his labor. His lands
are of clay soil, which seem better
adapted to fruit growing than the ordi-
nary prairie soil.

Fairbanks Scales.

1t is a significant fact,which The pub.
lie will appreciate, that whenever new
scales are put upon the market, as large
numbers have been from time to time,
during the last thirty years, it seems to
be the first and chief aim Of the makers
to show that they are the same as
Fairbanks, or like them, thus recogniz-
ing the latter as the standard for excel
Ience, and showing the strong hold they
have upon the public confidence. 1t is
q well known fact that while most Of
these scales, after more or less trial,
passed mainly out Of use, Fairbanks
have gone steadily forward, increasing
in public favor year after year, and are
now much more generally used than all
others, not only in this country, but
wherever American commerce has been
carried. This could not be so if they
were not all that is claimed for them in
respect to their durability, as well as
convenience and accuracy Chjcago

The Powers of School Officers.

A question of considerable import
ance has arisen in the town Of Burling-
ton, in respect to the powers ofDistrict
Boards. The Director and Treasurer
of the school district in the village OF
Burlington, engaged Mr.. lockwood, to
teach school ono year. The clerk OF the
district, (Mr. Orson Sheldon) refused
to make the required contract with Mr..
Lockwood; thereupon the Director and
and Treasurer declared the Office of the
clerk vacant, for refusing to per>
form the required duty. The district
clerk denies the power of the majority
of the Board in the premises, to declare
his Office vacant, and the matter is to
come before Judge Noggle at the next
term of the Circuit Court.
The determination of this matter is
of importance, inasmuch as cases of this
sort, are of frequent occurrence in school
districts; the power of a majority of a
district board, to remove one gifts mem
bers for neglect or refusal to discharge
the proper duties of the Office, is often
the subject of enquiry. The School
Code, on page go, says 1.-THE Board
may under certain circumstances. de,
clare the Office of Clerk vacant Tor a
determined refusal to carry QUIT will
of the Board, &c.

Cry of Distress.

The wise man "Solon," utters cry
of distress in the last Democrat; he calls
over the roll ofthe faithful as follows !:
What has become of Cass, Lacey,
futile, Kellogg, Donshar, Lewis, Hay
thorne, Bassett, Sc.?" Now why do not
these brethren OF the Douglas pursua-
sion, run to "Selon's" relief? "Sol,on"
thinks immediate action is demanded,
"to ventilate the unholy principles of
the Republican party-Uncloak and
show them up in their naked deformi ty."
Now since there may be some curios-
ity to know who this "Solon" is, that
has stolen the livery ofso great a name,
we will turn over the back files Of the
Kenosha Democrat, as soon as we have
leisure, and give Solon's political creed
the benefit of an airing. Time was,
when "Solon" used to scribble over his
own modest initials, but he has become
suddenly inflated. Perhaps when lzel-
logg, Cass, Bassett, &c, underst and
whatsortof feast "Solon" invites them
to, they will come ct bis bidding-I3er-
haps they won't.

Exercised.

Oar Douglas friends are greatly ex-
ercised, because Mr.. Lincoln as they
alledge, believes in an efficient Fugitive
Slave Law. They seem anxious to en-
JOY the exclusive privilege of guarding
the divinity and rights of slavery, and
appear exceedingly afraid Republicans
will get on to the pro-slavery platform.
Hence they keep Gliding Republicans
for supporting Lincoln. 1t is true Lin
coin has expressed himself in favor Of
an efficient law, for the rendition of flu
gitiyes owing service. But what is an
efficient law? No law can be efficient,
whichis not constitutional-alaw which
tramples on the right of trial by jury
a law which denies the right Of the writ
of habeas corpus, can never be efficient,
so long as our government maintains
any semblance Of freedom. Nor can
a law be efficient which does not com
mend itself to the Justice and good sense
Of the people if it be repugnant to the
civilization Of the age. and to every
sentiment Of humanity, it can never be
executed effectively. The present
Fugitive slave law, is destitute of all the
qualities which are essential to an eff
cient law consequently Mr.. Lincoln has
never expressed himself in its favor.
Mr. Lincoln has indicated what the
character Of law should be for the re-
claiming OF tugitive8; he says a law
that 'should not in it's stringency, be
more likely to carry free man into
than our ordinary criminal
laws are to hang an innocent one. >
Such a law would be as wide as heaven
is from perdition, from the present Fugi-
tive Slave Act, and the idea is therefore
that Mr.. Lincoln has any
sympathy for it.

The Douglas papers are excusiDg in
various ways the recent union arrange>
ment in New York with the Bell Know
Nothings. Some of them affirm that the
Bellies, have sold ontiorhave gone over
to the Douglas party without a consid-
Grafton, and are not represented on the
Electoral ticket at all. This Of course
is denied by the New York Ea;Dre88 and
other papers of the Bell party they
insist their share of the electors is ten.
The idea that the Bell leaders agreed to
transfer their forces to the Douglas men,
without being represented ON the EIec-
toral ticket, is too absurd to be believed.
1t is also pretended by the Douglas
organs the Bell organization in New
York is not asuccession Of the origi-
nal Know Nothing party ofNeW York.
The New York Express and other Bell
lite papers, claim that the party is made
up of those who voted for Fillmore in
1856. The Union party Of 1860 in
New York, is the legitimate offspring Of
the American party of 1856. 1t will
not do for the Douglasites to distort the
facts Of their true position in New York,
by any such attempted apologies.
S. NJ. BooTH.-The official hounds
are on the track If Booth six Of them
about daylight on the morning Of the
9th, surrounded the house Of Mr. Pick
EFT, seven miles from Ripon, where it had
been ascertained Mr.. Booth was stay
ing. 1t SO happened that Mr.. Pickett
had nearly dozen working men stops
ping in his house some diminishing
cnsued, and the officials seem to have
come off second best. One of the kid
napers, John S. Horer, had an OK
yoke put on his neck, and counseled to
bear it patiently, inasmuch as the yoke
of Mr.. Buchanan was easy and his bur
den light.
There is a rumor of later attempt
to arrest Booth, in which large force
was engaged, but we have no particu-
lars. Although we hope the jackals
will get the worst of it every time, still
we cannot commend Booths courage
or discretion, IN keeping himself within
reach of his prosecutors.

Douglas Refuses TO answer.

There is one plain question upon
which the whole subject Of Popular
Sovereignty turns, Which Mr.. Douglas
has never distinctly answered. If Mr..
Douglas were to answer no or yes, to
one simple interrogatory, the entire
theory OF Popular Sovereignty, upon
which SO many speeches have been ex-
pended, and which has been so prolific
Of newspaper discussion, would at once
be exploded. Mr.. Douglas has hum
dreds of times, made speeches in eluci-
dation Of what he calls "my graf prin-
ciple"-POpular Sovereignty, but has
never answered distinctly the question
elias a Territory before it becomes
State, power under the Federal
constitution, Notwithstanding the bred
Scott decision, to prohibit or exclude
slavery p
If Territory has 40 such power,
then is not Popular Sovereignty: the
most unmitigated humbug with which
any intelligent people were ever delu-
ded? Why will men protesting hon
esty, be parties to a cheat? Why
attempt to delude the people with the
idea, that Popular Sovereignty allows
them to determine the character of
their own institutions, when it really
intends no such thing? The course of
Mr.. Douglas himself, furnishes an
evidence of the imposture of the squat>
ter doctrine. Mr.. Douglas during his
recent tour in New England, made a
speech at Augusta, Maine whom the
following question was handed to him
in writing before he proceeded to speak:
DO you hold, and if elected President
of the United States, would you carry
out, the doctrine that the people of a
Territory, before 1t becomes U State,
have the power, under the Federal con-
stitution, and Notwithstanding the bred
Scott decision, to proha6it or ercletde
! Slavery tberefrOn1 %
Mr.. Douglas read the question !;
remarked it was proper, and promised
to reply to it in the course of his speech.
Mr.. Douglas spoke an hour and half
but avoided any allusion to the question
proposed. 1t is a question which he
will probably refrain from answering
during the Presidential canvass. -
Popular Sovereignty as held by Douglas
and his leading supporters both south
and north, leads in its ultimate results,
to all that slavery demands; and the,
only reason why Mr.. Douglas is less
ceptable to the south than Mr.. Breck>
inridge, is because the latter boldly
defines his proslayery position, while
Mr.. Douglas proposes to reach the same
end by cheat and deception.
