We publish communication from one of
cur citizens, in reference to an article which
appeared last week speaking in terms of
praise Of our County Treasurer. We did
not intend, in that article, to give Mr.. Swal
low credit for anything that belonged to
any other officer of the county. Probably
the language used would convey that idea.
OF course, the Commissioners are the man
ayers of the financial interests of the county.
No one will dispute that, with few excep-
tons, 1t has been our good fortune to be
blessed with as good county officers,
throughout, as we could be, and all have
united to work earnestly for the best inter
ests of the county; and, by their ability as
officers, thousands of dollars have been
srved. Mr.. Swallow has managed the
treasury with consummate skill, and it was
only to give him proper credit therefor that
we printed the article to which our CORE
spondent takes exceptions. If be will take
the pains to look up the matter, he viii find
that our scrip was once sold in Lawrence
for fifteen cents on the dollar; at least, so
we are informed on the best of authority.

they are joined by the Texans, and they
are assisting in holding our country. The
