q Couxry WAanArn.-We have OBJ
served several articles in the Troy Inves-
tigstor. recently. regarding the sction Of
the County Commissioners and Treasurer
in reference to County Warr,nts Of thres
years standing. It is stated that they
will not be received in payment ofTaxes,
Is they are bsrrsd BY the statute Of limi-
tations. This strikes % y being rather =
strange proceeding. II We understand
the statute rightly. written evidence Of
Indebtedness cannot be collected By Law
after the expiration Of three yesrs from
maturity; but the law certainly does not
prohibit an individual from paying such
q debt. II The case is % stated, Our
County authorities act upon the principle
that the law prohibits them from paying
Just debts, because creditors have waited
over shrse years. snd have not put the
County. q additional expense BY suing i.
II is the sw;ndler who .vails himself ol
the statute of Limitations. and refuses to
pay what the law does not compel himto
Had Judge Stafford given the decision BY
which our County officers srs governed,
it woud not surprise us in the lesst; but
we cannot believe that Doniphan Comfy
will repudiste just obligations, BY taking
advantage Of technicalities of the law.
We Presume the Commissioners will give
the matter "sober second thought"

The Effect of Dsing without.

The stages that run up and down
Broadway, N. Y, concluded to advance the
fare from six to ten cents. There was much
better reason for this than there is for the
advance that has heen made from time to
time in other branches This will not be
questioned when we consider the high price
of labor, fuel. &c. Bat the people conclu
ded they would not submit to the advance,
and they didn't. There were no Indignation
meetings no resort to mob law. but by
common constn, i, was decided not to pa
tronize the coaches and the latter after
running empty two or three days, put the
fare back to six cents.
Now there is in this lesson worthy of
general attention. In very many cases
prices OF necessaries or luxurNs have been
advanced beyond all reason-advanced
simply because people, like so many pack
horses, are willing just now to pay almost
any price that is asked. IF consumers,
then, would by common consent do without
such articles for little while, the evil
would soon be corrected The experiment
would not be much of sacrifice either. -
The patrons of the stage coaches found
they could walk to and from their homes
very we'll when they triod it once or twice;
so every one can do without articles which,
from no just cause, are sold at exorbitant
prices. A little training uf this sort by
housekeepers would have good effect

bes-THg Commissioners of the county
met at their Office on Monday last to open
the bids fer building an iron bridge over
Wheeling Creek, at Bridgeport There
were but two bids for the structure one
by King and Frees, of Cleveland, for a
wrought iron tabular bridge at 81, 300
and one by Swartz, the builder Of the bridge
at Bellaire, for his cast iron arch bridge, at
81. .495.
When the bids were opened for the stone
work, it was found that the expense of
building this bridge would exceed the
amount ($5, ,00O) which by law the Commits
missioners are authorized to expend on any
one bridge, without a vste of the people OF
the county authorizing them to build it.
They adjourned without accepting the
bids. after appointing an architect to exam.
inc the sight anb report to them whether it
is practical to so alter the plan of the bridge,
as to bring the Price of its construction
within the amount to which they are limited.
