5. He is poor man, as compared with the

the most effective proof that such agency had
no influence in the result.

A BULLET IN Mans HEAD FOR SIXTEEN
YEARs.-Mr. John Eldridge, of this city, says
the Yreka Union, was in the Mexican war.
At some battle during the war he received a
ha If ounce ball shot in the outer corner of his
left eye. The surgeons at the time told him
that the ball had glanced and passed out
wardly. Last Thursday night Mr.. Eldridse
woke up about one o'clock and found the
ball in his mouth. 1t has been lodged in the
roof of his mouth in the shape of lump, for
the last two years, but supposing the attcn d
ing surgeon at the time he received the wound
knew best, he has never imagined that he
had lead mine in his head. The bullet was
fattened wedge-like, having on one side Of it
a sharp ridge. During all this time Mr.. Ell
bridge has never experienced any inconve-
nience from the Judgement of the bullet in

County Officers.

ecall the attention of our legislato to
the importance ofdeyising some plan, at this
session of the Legislature, for the reduction
of county expenses. The pay of county off,
cials, as general thing, is altogether too
high, and should be reduced to such figure
as will give the incumbents of Office good
liberal salary, sufficient to command compe-
tent men, and insure the faithful discharge of
the duties of each Office in the county govern
ment
The Offices of Tax Collector, County Clerk,
Recorder and Treasurer should be salaried
Offices, as much so as County Judge and Dis
trict Attorney, and there can be no mere diff
iculty in adjusting the compensation for the
several duties discharged in these offices, un-
der a salary, than under the present system
of fee bills
The county furnishes these several officers
with comfortable and convenient rooms, sta
tionery. wood, lights books, blanks, and ev
cry incidental expense required in each, aud
yet pays each officer far too great sum for
the labor performed. The revenue of this
county can be collected, under the present
law, for salary of two thousand dollars per
annum, as well as for per centage on the
amount received, and the salary will COM
mand the services of good men. Also the
duties of County Clerk can all be performed
for salary of say three thousand dollars,
for principal and deputy, and insure them to
be as well done as at present, under the Zee
system, which is burthensome to the county
and to those litigants who are SO unfortunate
to get into the courts Of law. The duties
of Recorder can ali be performed by one in
dividual, and that officer not being under any
expense, a salary of fifteen hundred dollars is
sufficient to,command a competent person,
who will be willing to perform the duties for
that amount The Treasurer should have
sal.ry of fifteen hundred dollars, instead of
fees, as at present We would reduce the
County Judges salary to two thousand dol
lars per annum, and that of District Attorney
to fifteen hundred dollars-thus making the
total salaries of our county officers amount to
81, 500, and is quite ample to insare the
faithful discharge of the duties of the several
Offices.
Let the present rates # fees be reduced in
each of the offices, and then make it part of
he duties of these officers to collect said fees
and pay them into the County Treasury, to
be placed to the credit of a salary fund, out
of which each officer should draw his pay.
Let law of this kind be passed the pres
ent winter, and in three years this county
will be out of debt, and still the affairs of the
county be as we'll administered as heretofore.

TIE UNION CouNTy AFFAIR.

Z
But one sentiment pervades the minds
Of the loyal men Of Illinois, relative to the
recent rebel outrages and murder in Union
county. That whole neighborhood has
1eekcd with disloya1ty since the COM
1rencement Of the war. And now its un-
blushingly ayowed sympathies with the
rebels in arms, have taken the form Of
deeds, and the appropriate shape Of foul
and dastard1y murder. Let the vengeance
descend in u manner that shall be exem~
plary and be an cGectual bar to such out
RACES in the future. Anything less will be
cruelty to the loyal men Of Southern Hi
Lois who have been Witnesses Of the grow
icg tendency to such outbreaks in some
Of their neighborhoods, and who look
TO the military arm Of the Govern
ment to follow and pursue its enemies,
whether they lurk in the vicinity Of Jones
boro, or further north, in our OWL State.
Let not the result be such farce as that
which recently disgraccfullY released Judge
Constable in Marshall county from the fit
ting consequences Of his traito:ous act. 1t
Should be understood that the arm that is
7nterposed between the Government aud
:l:c .lsser:er will be struck down and
crushed, whether it aim to interposc dis
1orted prccept Of law, or the dastardly
weapons that drank the blood Of the Union
martyr at Anna. Let Copperhead Judges
and Copperhcad rioters, beware Of ths
wrath they have invited. 1t will surely
come.
