The way to make the local columns OF paper

every subscriber and friend of the paper, when
anything of interest transpires his neighbour
hood report the facts TO the Off of the pa per-
Many interesting items might be reported in this
way that would otherwise be unrecorded as the
editors cannot see everything that is gong on, or
be all over the town and country at the same time
But there arepersons who suppose that an editor
ought to know everything, whether he sees or
hears of 1t or not. We hope our friends will act
upon these suggestions, and aid in keeping our
readers and the world humankind fully posted IN
all that Is transpirng around Those who
have from time to time thus contributed to our
columns, will please accept our thanks and con-
tiuue their favors.

the Enquirer, has been kept from the public
as much as possible, as 1t was a matter of

The remarks of the Enquirer explain sun
dry insinuations that we have seen. at differ.

had hoped, and still trust, are without real
foundation. The case has heretofore been al

GEN'L dEADoR's SrArl OF ILLINoI,o
ADJ'r GEMS OFFICE,
Springfield, Jan. ], 1866.
IL is deemed of Importance to collect as
speedily as possible, from all parts of the
state, accurate and authentic information, to
be filed in this Office, of all the various sums
of money expended by each and every mum.
clpality or association of citizens of the state,
in aid OF the suppression of the late rebel
lion.
1t is known that large sums have been
raised and expended for this purpose through
out all parts of the state, and also that large
liabilities have been incurred and since it
may be possible that some national action
will be taken relative thereto it is thought
to be OF very great importance to secure this
information at once.
The classes of expenditures and liabilities
referred to are as follows:
Amount of money paid or debts incurred
by counties, cities. villages, towns, town
ships, districts. sub districts, or by any asso-
citation of citizens for bountes to soldiers.
Amounts paid or debts incurred for trans
portation of soldiers.
Amounts paid or debts incurred for sub.
sistencs of soldiers.
Amounts paid or debts incurred for any
other purpose connected with and promotive
| of the success of the war.
By the direction of his excellency, the gov
ernor of Illinois, it is therefore respectfully
requested of each county, city, town, town
! ship, ward, district sub district, village or
association OF citizens of the state, to proceed
at once through their proper authorities to
collect said information and return it to me
Let the county authorities establish by
proofs and authenticate the sums expended
by counties or for which they are liable. Let
| city authorities act likewise on behalf of eli
ties. Town authorities for towns, and, in
case there are districts or precincts, for
which there are no constituted authorities.
let the otizens make up the proper proofs of
expenditures and liabilities, duly authenti.
| cate the same, and transmit it to this Office
| In each case Of expenditure or of liability
1t should be particularly shown when, where,
tor whom and for what purpose the money
was paid or debt incurred
| 1t is not designed TO include in the above
anything with reference to contributions or
donations made to the sanitary or christian
commission, or others OF like character
Nor is information desired relative to any
sums which have been refunded by the fed
eral government.
In all cases it should be shown that the
expenditure has not been reimbursed in any
way to the person or authorities making it.
And If portion of the sums or debts in
Cured is not yet paid, the parts paid and un.
paid should be clearly and distinctly set
forth.
1t is hoped that all parts of the state will
respond at once to this circular.
BY order of the governor:

votes, and lacks only &c of beating both of
his opponents. All this in the city of San
Francisco. whose Puritan howlers have
boasted for four years tkas it was the .uost
loyal city in the Union" The leading news-
papers of the city-the Bulletin and Alta

compelled to bear to the east the news of q
''copperherd triumph" in this loyal town.
The Call newspaper took no sides particular

one; but when the sun set on the day of cleo

redeemed from the hands of the Purtans who
Quilted democratic newspapers here last
spring. and drove better men than them
selves from the city to save their lives. No
person, who has not witnessed the proscript-

past few years can appreciate the exultation
we feel over their defeat You should wit

loyal office seekers sneaking around where
democrats most do congregate importuning
them for votes in the future; you should see
the very same cowardly dogs. who were Gag

months ago, now exclaiming against partixan
intolerance. Verify, there is nothing much
meaner than bowling, blood thirsty loyal
list!

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-The radicals are deter
mined to crowd negro suffrage doctrine upon
the people in every possible way. and If pos
sible, eventually to compel the country to ac-
cept the dogma. They have not prospered
30 far, in submitting the issue TO the people
In Connecticut, by direct vote of the PEG
pie. they were defeated by over 600
In Wlsconsin,ia another direct vote vote of
the people, they were defeated 5000.
In Colorado, by another direct vote they
were defeated by 1000.
In Ohio, both parties candidates for
governor opposed to it.
In Minnesota the measure has just been re-
jected by the popular vote.
Ia Pennsy lvania. New Jersey and New
York, the republicans dare not make the is
sue.
But. still. the leaders of the radicals, Sum.
ner and Wilson and Stevens, intend to bring
the subject before congress, and if posi- Die,
coerce President johnson into making negro
suffrage a leading feature in the policy of his
administration, and a condition precedent to
the restoration of peace and reunion of the
states. Will the president maintain his posi-
ton, or will he be- subiued by tho radicals !?
We shall see.-Banner Of Liberty.
