EThe editor of the Guernsey Times,
in referring to an item in the SPIRIT, in
which it was stated that Judge Kennon
threatened to take our Grand Jury up in
to Guernsey County, says:
"There may be some point in what the
SPIRIT says about there being more prob
ability Of Monroe County Grand Jury
finding indictments in Guernsey and Bel
mont than in atheir own beloved land, :
but we confess our inability 20 s'ses it, I"
unless it is an attempt to convey the idea
that more crimes are committed in other
counties than in Monroe. Such an init
nation would be monstrous.
In the same number Of the Times we
find the Prosecuting Attorneys report
Cor the year ending June 3, 1867, in
which he says:
"The whole number of indictments
which were disposed Of during the last
year and resulted in the conviction Of the
persons charged with the cffenses and
crimes, 108.
tsOf these one was sentenced for t,cc
years, one for three years, one for tsoe
years, and two for seven years each, max.
ing t,centy-four years of labor for the
State"
During the same period of time there
were four indictments and one conviction
in Monroe County. Again: During the
last sac gears there has been but FIVE per.
sons sent to the Penitentiary from this
county, while Guernsey sent FIVE during
the last year. Is "such an intimatior
monstrous

ure, except it be from I'D unavoidable
desire to initiate his father In the kill

has seemed to realize, in certain de-

that respect, and It's highly probable he
has forgotten more Of the sound princi-
pies Of Law than Guernsey County's
Prosecutor ever knew, and still retains
sufficient legal ability to rate him as one
of the FIRST juristss of the State. The
Democracy of Monroe County have ne
regrets for the part they carried in elect
ing Judge Kennou to the position he now
occupies, and would do precisely the same
thing again, notwithstanding the grewl-
ing of the Times.
The reason assigned by the Bar for not
having any more cases set for trial was
owing to the tine of year in which the
Court was held; the farmers were all very
busily engaged in preparing for planting
and could not defer that to attend to liti-
cation; and the Bar in this county, pre-
fer, generally, to try cases to the Court
Any lawyer, We do not profess to belong
| to the learned profession, knows that the
length Of time for holding Courtin each
county in this, or any other Judicial
District, is fixed upon by the Judges ol
the District. The time fixed for holding
Court in this county was Tuesday, May
III, and in Belmont County, Monday, May
l27, which gave this county butfour days
at the farthest. Will the Times inform
Its readers that notwithstanding Judge
Kennon's health, fifty cases were disposed
of at the late term of Court in Monroe
County,
At no time since Judge Kennon'l
election has he failed to hold Court il
this county at the time 6xedfor the same
aud instead of being dissatisfied, the law

Kennon's health is q public calamity, and
has cansed great dissatisfaction among

The above extracts contain a willful
and malignant slander upon Judge Ken
non. II is intended coyertly to assert
that Judge Kennon is holding a position
and receiving the emoluments of the
same, without dischargiDg the duties inn
posed upon him by law.
If Judge is upon the Bench at the
proper time. ready and willing to try
and does try-all the cases which are
ready for trial, he discharges his whole
duty in that regard; and if there are fall
ures on the part of attorneys and litigants
to prepare their cases, the responsibility
rests with them, and not with the Judge.
Now, We assert that Judge Kennon was
in Cambridge and Woodsfeld at the
proper time for holding Court in those
places, and discharged al. the business
which was ready for hearing before him.
How is il that Judge Kennon is able to
hold Court in Belmont County for seven
weeks at time, as he did here last Fall
and Winter, without losing . single day,
and yet not able to hold Courtin the 9TH
er counties of the District? Its simply

generals and the men they employ. All
this reacts with terrible force on us at
the North. There has not been in many
years more serious state of feeling than
now pervades our business circles. Ruin
stares men in the face, and its approach
is fastened by the folly,the madness with
which politicians are using the military
position to accomplish their nefarlous
purposes at the South.

RALEIGH, June 4.-TLe ceremony at
the city cemetery, in connection with the
dedication of the monument to the father
of President johnson, commenced to day
at noon. The monument is a single
shaft of red limestone, ten feet high,
with ornamented cap. 1t bears the fol-
lowing inscription:
Tin memory of Jacob johnson, an
honest man, beloved and respected by all
who knew him. Died January 1872,
from disease caused by noble effort in
saving the life of his friend"
The President and party, accompanied
by Governor Worth, General Siokles and
others reached the cemetery in carriages
and were conducted to the platform near
the monument. A very large number of
spectators were present. All appeared
deeply interested in the ceremonies. g
After the preliminary religious exer-8
cises, Hon. D. L. Swayne L. L. D., Pres
ident of the State University, delivered
an address, in which he traced the his
tory oe the city of Raleigh, and in this
connection alluded to Jacob johnson who
by deed of noble daring saved from
drowning Henderson and Callian, at the
ultimate cost Of his own life, passing
away eventually, martyr to hum anity.
The orator among other things said that
three natives of the State of North Car.
olinia. jackson, Polk and johnson had
passed from obscurity and poverty in
North Carolina to comparative opulence
in Tennessee, and then to the highest
point of honor in the Union and world.
DR.. Swayne concluded his very elab-
crate and eloquent address as follows:
OF the history of the soL of Jacob
johnson, who commenced life under COM
paratiyeiy unfavorable auspices. this is
not the time to speak; of the companion
of his boyhood, 9Leonidas Polk, whose
character l have attempted to portray,
has passed the portals Of the grave. The
President of the United States is before
you. His case in life thus far Is one Of
the most remarkable of any age or ma
ton. His country and the world have
decided between two parties which dis
yided North Carolina and the South. He
who achieved such results 80 patriotic,
was as brave, as disinterested and wiser
than his oompeers The monuments of
these sires are before you; the crossed
swords suspended above as memento Of
the past and warning for the future
blood of the noblest heroes on both sides
of the conflict will form union Of the
hearts Of their descendants of those who
meet in deadly strife on many we'll fought
fields. The most patriotic hearts, North
/ and South, East, and West, already beat
in unison. The time has arrived when
patriotism, not less than christianity, re-
quires forgiyness of all that we cannot
forget. Let the crossed swords of a
monument surmounted by the Stars and
Stripes form appropriate memorial as
sociations for Confederate and Union
dead and strife be forgotten above their
graves but patriotic and generous emula.

Where the Money Goes and Why
the National Debt is to be In
creased. s a aiie

.
While the people are groaning under
taxation for the support Of the Govern
ment and to pay the interest on the Ma.
tional Debt, heavier by far than that paid
in tax-ridden England for similar pur-
pose, the unnecessary expenses Of the
Government are constantly enlarged. To
support the Freedman's Bureau, and to
build school houses for Blacks in the
South, appropriations are made by Con-
gress, in one year, amounting to millions.
Besides this, Congress is now trying to
govern ten States of the Republic by
military rule at large cost, and has un-
dertaken to enforce Registry Law TO as
certain who shall, and who shall net,
votes in the election of township, county,
municipal and State officers. The Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, in his letter to the
Boston merchants, thinks that the Ma
tionai Debt, during the coming year,Iin-
stead of being diminished, must be in
creased. The following gives an account
of these Registration Bureaus in the
South, and at the same time shows in part
the necessity for the increase: -
"a single Military Department at the
South has 800 Boards Of Registration.
They have already held their sessions for
weeks. They will hold them for many
weeks to come. Each member is paid
eight dollars day. Estimating ten mem.
bers upon each Board, including all the
runners and attendants, and 500 boards
to each of the FIVE Monarchies, and We
have daily expense Of one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars for these boards
alone" 40
What Government on earth could stand
the proRigate and useless expenditure of
money, of which the aboveis specimen?
The Government Of the United States
has no more right to register votes in the
South, than Congress haste register those
of England tits matter purely be.
longing to the State Governments, and
yet, this assumption of poweron the part
of our rulers is costing the people, in
paying for the registering officers alone,
more than the daily cost of supporting
the entire Government Of the United
States under Democratic rule of Andrew
jackson.
