IKE NUISANCE TO re ABArED-We are reliably
abste o. about the first of aIarch, or, that Mr.
Baker, The present keeper has informed the Com
missioners that he will keep them longer than
until that time. We believe that he has come to
the conclusion that the Commissioners went con-
trsry to law in establishing the institution, and
does not desire to have any thing more TO do with
them OF the poor under the present arrangements.
Who will be the next m 10 take them unlaw-
fully, of course, is not yet revealed and what the
Commissioners will do with them after Mr.. Baker
gives them up. is not yet known to the people of
the county. We expect to see notice in this
weeks Republican of the Letting OF the Poor
to some responsible bidder for the next year. as
such notice will have to be published about no
to make it legal, for the first of March is drawing
Ugh AMI "s omething must be did" very soon.
If the present keeper should positively refuse to
keep them logger than until the next setting of
the Commissioners Court, Nc suppose the men-
bers of the hoard will prob ably want the town
ship Trustees, from whom they unlawfuly took the
poer,to take the pauners back again. This will
be nice state of aars AN great will be the houor
q the founders of me greatesthumbug ami nuisance
that has ever been establish ed in the State, most
Likely.
" VIII merely suggest to the members Of the
Board that they have "bored" the people Of this
county long enough have m,de 'bores' OF them
selves to a sufficient extent, aud, that they had
better read the law concer ming taking care of
the poor and 90 according TO it, and on ind-
yidual opinion is, that they had better have built .
decent. COM Portable poor house on the farm
understand belongs to the county.
We charge them nothing for our suggestions,
but make them in good faith. thinking that
some such course is the best thing the can dofor all
pa, ties concerned It will be humiliating for
them to have to back down. but the the
better, and the sooner it will be over WITH
The Greeley Basis.
Greeley has turned peace maker, and in letter to
Gen Combs, of kentucky proposes the follow Ing
basis which he thinks, il adopted would secure TO
The country the blessings of peace, prosperity and
fraternity:
|. An ordinance shall be passed forss CT prohit-
ting slavery ia all the Federal Territories present
and prospective thus settling the Territorial ques
ton for all time to come
2. Each State will be permitted TO have slavery
If it chooses.
J. Citizens OF the United Stries shall be allow
ed 70 Stl up Instructions in each ofthe States and
assail the institutions Of EACH far as he do
SO by aEv shing he may say or write
! 4. Slave owners may persuade or eutice' their
| runaway negroes back home. but the laws OF every
State shall hold every m m free who does choose
| 20 be slave.
IL is proposed that committee, representing the
three sections of the Union, consisting Of Gov An
drew of Massa cbusett., Long John. OF Illinois,
aud John Minor Bolts. of Virginia, proceed at once
to Washington, and press upon the Peace Confer
ence there assembled the Immediate adoption Of
the philosophers platform. In the meantime it
would be we'll to send Fred. Douglas, Wendell
Philips and William Lloyd Garrison as commits
sioners 20 Charleston, Pensacola and Montgomery,
for the purpose furging The South to delay any
rarlike demonstrations, until the Conference shall
have acted upon the above propositions
