ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY -
One day last week Mr.. Jonathan
Feightner and Mrs. Rachel Bush, wife
of Charles Bush, all of Palo Alto, this
county, left for parts unknown. Itap-
appears that Feightner and Mrs. Bush
have had kindly understanding be-
tween them for some time and that
their peculiar attachment for each 9TH
er was open and notorious. Feightner
was Commissioner of this county, from
1860 till 1868, and was the only county
officer elected by the Republicans for
eleven years. 1t is said that several
warrants have been issued for his ar
rest. As the Republicans desire to re-
form the Commissioners office, hadn't
they better send for Feightner?

Where the Money Goes.

The annual report of General HOWARD,
Commissioner of the Freedman's Bureau,
is just out. By it we are Informed that the
appropriations for the support of this bu-
rsau for the year ending July l, 1867, were
So S36 300, and that the expenditures for ele-
ven months were $3,597,397 65. The negro
schools cost the government $685. 9l6; sub
sistence for the negroes, 81 ,46O,325; trans
portation ditto, S227,753; salaries of agents,
clerks, colporteurs, eX-chaplains and other
white vagabonds, $52l, ,42O; medical de-
pal tment for negroes, S33l,000; quarters,
fuel, &C., $135,100; clothing, $ll6,6SS;
claims, &C., to colored soldiers, S402,59l.
Thus is the public money spent. The
policy of Congress prevents the develop
ment of the South, and prevents the whites
there from prosecuting business profitably.
So the Taxpayers of the North are left to
foot these negro bills.
The above figures do not cover the whole
expense OF the negro business in the South.
The cost of maintaining an army there, to
guarantee supremacy to the blacks, far ex-
ceeds the expenses of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau.
