For the Farmer.
The AUDITORS once.

Mr. EDIToR.-Y our notice in last week =
Farmer, of the change in the Auditor Of
fee, is liable to be misconstrued, so as to
attach blame whereit does not belong. Nei-
ther does it give so explicit a statement of
the affair as the people demand.
Your object was to have the matter pass
over quietly, so as to prevent any distracting
feeling in the party, and to save, as much
AS possible, the credit and feelings of Mr.
WEITMAN. | do not blame you for this,
nor would have had any objection to it,
had not persons used the statement in the
Farmer for the purpose of attaching blame
to the innocent. Since this has been done,
ask to state the facts in the case SO that
all may form their own conclusions.
The charges preferred against Mr.. WET.
MAN are, that he has neglected to record
the grand duplicate for 1864, which should
have been done by last October; that he has
over drawn his salary about Sl9O; that he
the 2 per cent. fund.- and that he drew 9
county order in violation Of law.
These matters, the duplicates excepted
have all transpired within few weeks.
| Mr.. WEITMAN's securities will be liable
for over $500 and the cost of recording the
, duplicate, which will increase it probable to
$500. Seven of the securities are respon-
sible. have conversed with most of them,
and they assure me that they will pay the
delinquency without suit or trouble to the

No one regrets the trouble in the Office
more than do. | dislike to make it pub
lie, but the people of the county are entitled
to the information and desire it, and for
that reason | have made the examination

ln a Quandary.

General Cox's letter has placed the Re-
publicans in quandary similar to that the
fellow was in, who was holding on to a lamp
post, an the dock, in cold winter night. =
If he stuck to the post, he would freeze to
death and ifhe let go, he would fall into the
river and drown. If the republicans hold
on to negro suffrage and equality, they are
gone, and if they let go of and discard them
they fall into far worse condition, Gin.

PEACHES WITHOUT SEEDS. To make
peaches grow without stones, an agricutur-
ist who has tried it with success says -
Turn the top of the tree down, cut off the
ends, stick them into the ground, and lastcn
so with stakes in Il year or two these tops
will take root, and when well rooted, cut
the branches connecting these reversed and
rooted branches with the tree proper, and
this reversed peach tree will produce fine
peaches without stones" The same ex
pertinent may be tried with plums, cherries
and currants.

A WORD FOR NEwpApEERs.-W clip
the following from an exchange. 1t is true
and we commend it to every man who has
an interest in the place where he resides.
Nothing is more common than to hear peo-
pie talk of what they pay newspapers for
advertising, &C., as so much given to char
ity: newspapers by enhancing the value
Of property in their neighborhood and Civ.
ing the localities in which they are publish
ed reputation abroad, benefit all sucl
grumbers, particularly if they are mer
chants or real estate owners, thrice the
amount yearly of the meagre sum they pay
for their support. Besides every public
spirited citizen has laudablc pride in hay
ing paper of which he is not ashamed
even though he should pick it up in New
York or Washington. A good looking
thriving sheet helps to sell property, give.
character to the locality and is in all res
poets one desirable public convenience. Il
from any cause the matter in the local OF
editorial columns should not be quite up tc
standard, do not cast taside and pronounce
it of no account, until you are satisfied that
there has been no more labor bestowed up
on it than has been paid for If you wan
a good readable sheet, it must be supported
And it must not be supported in spirit O
charity either but because you feel a neces
sity to support it. The local press is tn,
power that moves the people"

WAN IN MEXICO. 1t is represented that
in the battles between the Liberals and I'm
rerialists no prisoners are taken, nor quarter
asked or given. War with them is venge-
ance in its drest form. The destruction of
Acapulco, when the place was abandoned
by the French, is said to have been entire
vandalism. The whole city was turned into
ruins. Everything was destroyed, and
desolation took the place of plenty. Cut
off from their usual sources of supplies the
subjugated towns were reduced to the verge
of starvation.
CoRRYIrEs.- copy from the States
man the proceedings of the Cory State
Convention, held on the 18th inst. Mr..
CORY is a man of very extreme views on
every question. In 1857, being then an
nbolitionist, he refused to support the nom
inee of the abolition party for Member of
the Board of Public Works, and to secure
his defeat, ran as an independent Republican
candidate and took enough votes to secure
the success of Mr.. BACKUs, the Democratic
candidate. In 1850, he supported BRECK-
INRIDGE, and last fall, he and the little band
with him on Quixotic raid refused to sup,
port Gen. MCCLELLAN. MUNNELL, the
man Friday for CoRRY, was a rank aboli
zionist until about three years ago, and
since he has been in the Democratic party
he has been constantly engaged in making
mischief.
Had this little band of pure Democrac,
desired the success of Democratic principles
they would have waited until the regularl,
called Democratic Convention had perform
ed its work, instead of meeting in advanc,
and setting themselves up as the simon pur,
Democracy.
The Democratic party is stronger will
such conspirators outside our organization
than in it. We are glad they have gon,
