DEAR JOURNAL lin your last weeks issue | no.
ticad an article on the death Of Mr.. W. r. Deans
mammoth OK, in which the writer betrayed either
his ignorance Of the facts as they really existed. or
a want OF moral honesty by attempting TO give a
true statement Of the facts. The following are the
facts in the case One morning some three weeks
since, Mr.. Dean found the stable in which his OK
was kept broken open, the staple that held the lock
gone, and that morning tho OK was taken sick. reius-
ed his food and continued ever after to grow worse.
| was passing about that time and Mr.. Dean invited
ne to look at him and see If ] could tell what was
the matter with him. | did so, and unhesitatingly
pronounced him under the influence of poi son. A
few days subsequent, MIR. Dean came after me co 90
up aud see him again, rs he was much worse. /
went. and found him worse, and told Mr. Dean the
animal would never get up again The being DOWN..
The I'd day after Mr.. Dean called for me to 20 and
examine the OK, he being dead. ! went and made a
careful examination, and was fully confirmed in my
former opinion that the OK had been poisoned. and
in addition a sharp instrument, knife or dirk, had
been thrust into the abdomen, upwards through the
stomach or paunch, making a clean cut, the wound
being a full inch in width, so that whatever drink
the animal took must have passed Immediately into
the trunk OF the body. From the appearance of the
wound and the surrounding parts, !: must have been
made not less than forty>eight hours before DEATH
| will further state that on my second visit, Mr..
Dean put into my hands a folded paper, similar in
size to a Sedlitz powder, found by Mr. Dean near
the stable door, to which was still adhereing, what
appears like a certain corrosive poison. which pa
per is still il my possession as is that portion Of the
stomach ;hrou ii which the murderous knife was
passed. and can be seen by anyone.

The two great obstacles to the navi-
cation Of the upper Mississippi-the
Keokuk Rapids and those near Rock
Island-are to be snrmounted. partly
By the removal Of Instructions from the
channel, and partly by canaling. A
cannal seven and one-half miles long
and $50 feet wide is to be constructed
around the Keokuk Rapids. Among
the instruments used for rock excava-
tons on the Rock Island Rapids is a
drill weighing over four tuns, and
which plows into solid rock more than
four feet at q single stroke.

STATEMENT or THE Pubic DEBr.-The
October statement Of the public debt
shows the total debt, less cash in the
Treasury, to be $2,495,2 77,4 46, TO-
The September statement shows the
debt to be 81, 492, 1888, $685. 4. The in
crease in the debt is 2,494, 0Sl,71.-
This increase is in consequence Of the
heavy payments on account of war and
Interior Departments, the latter on ac-
count of pensions, and the small re
ceipts from Internal Revenue during
the past month. II is anticipated, how
ever, that the receipts for the present
month will be considerably in excess Of
the payments, and that the statement
on the LIST OF November will show a re-
duction of several millions. A further
comparison between the present state
ment and that made on the LIST of Sep
TENDER exhibits, under the head of
debt Bearing Coin Interest, an in
crease on the six per cent. five-twenty
bonds of $29,670, $50. OF the debt
bearing currency interest there has been
q decrease ON the three year seven-thir-
ty notes of $35, 296, 925. The national
debt not presented for payment has de-
creased $l,219,119 while under this
head there in an exhibit Of a decrease of
the compound interest notes matured
June 10, July IA and Aug. Is, 1867, of
$5,1S9,630. The debt bearing no inter
est has decreased 81, 122, 1856 go. There
is shown an increase of coin in the Treas
ury of $2,035, 639,69, while the amount
Of currency has decreased $15,259, 725.
The legal tenders have been reduced
during September four millions, the full
amount authorized by the law.

Coupon State bonds belonging to the
Agricultural College fund, to the am
cunt of one hundred and thirty-three
thousand and five hundred dollars, are
deposited with the State Treasurer
These bonds are negotiable, and under
the law, are to be held for years to come,
For greater security, | recommend that
authority be granted to cancel these
bonds, and any others that may be
returned to the Treasury for that pur-
pose and to issue certificates in the
form. of the registered loan of the Uni
ted States, inscribing the credit on the
books in the Office of the Treasurer and

Collection Of 7ares.
From observation and experience i
am satisfied that our system Of collect
ing taxes can be much simphfed and
improved. | recommend that the ex-
istlng laws ON that subject be so modi-
fed as to require the s~electment, or
other proper officers, of each town or
city to include IN the same rate bill all
taxes, whether State, COUNTY, town, or
otherwise, duly certified to them as
voted and assea ID any year, and that
such rate b. I be committed for recollection

Of taxes, in each town or city. who
should pay the mount, whc1 collected

county, city, town, district OF village,
according D the l.aturc Of the taxes
The expenses afcollectiug might there
by be materially diminished, and tax
payers would be saved the annoyance
ofnumfrous calls from different collec-
sors during the same year.
Organized Militia.
The present law regulating the or
gained militia is wholly inadequate 10
provide an efficient force that can be
relied upon in ease Of need, and your
attention is directed to the sensible re-
marks upon this subject 10 the report
Of the Adlutant and Inspector General
Some portion Of the pubic property in
possession OF the militia Is reported in
bad condition, and without more vital
ity in our militia system, it would seem
necessary that this property should be
collected and placed IN safe keeping
under the care Of q proper officer. The
/ signs Of the times indicate that we, as
! prudent men, should not wholly lay
aside our arms, but rather emulate the
example 81 the Old Bay State, il 1861,
