RIVER MATTERS.
ANn RIvEns.


The weather, which indicated rain on
Wednesday night, has cleared up with
out the long wished for shower. we
learn, however, that rain fell ten miles
west of here, and also in an eastern
direction, but not very extensively. Dust
holds high carnival on the landing. The
Ohio river rose eight inches at Louis
Vile, and was at a stand yesterday, with
three feet six inches in the canal. The
upper river continues TO decline at all
points. At this place the fall is going on
at a rapid pace.
The Celeste reports the Arkansas still
falling with thirty inches to the Rock
and twenty inches to Fort Smith.

Letter from Judge A. L. Robinson.
For the Evansville Journal

Many persons having expressed a
desire to see the letter which / wrote
to the members of the Board of
County Commissioners in reference
to an order authorizing the clerk to
copy sundry old records in the Clerk s
Office, | herewith inclose the same
for pu blication in the JOURNAL.
The occasion and the reasons for
writing this letter are manifest upon
the face of it. | addressed copy to
each of the Commissioners by name,
through the Post Office, and I have
the best of reasons for believing that
they reached the persons for whom
they were intended within few days
after the date, viz, March 23d, 1866.
l am of the opinion that if any tax
payer of this county will make a
proper application to the Circuit
Court (Which will be in session next
week., an injunction might be OBJ
tanned against the further useless
sodste Of money in paying for copying
old records, aohich Uhen done are of
no earthly use.
Respectfully, -

SIR: In December last. paper was pre-
sented to me for my signature, which at
the time was represented To- be petition
to the Board of county Co<nmissioners TO
have certain indexes made for some old
records in the Clerks Office. Seeing the
names of several lawyers upon the paper.
1 sigDed it without reading. On yesterday
Twas, for the first, informed sthat the petit
tfon contained many other matters Besides
indexes, and to-day find, on examina-
tion, that have been gross v sjdeceiv ed !;
and | am satisfied if the B0ard knew all
the facts as / raoU do, the order m sde by.
that body in accordance with the petition,
would be instantly rescinded.J 1sn 3
The labor which the Board have author
ized the~Glerk to perform is, much of it
sols0iIy unnecessary, and when com pleted
s0iUbe useless, and besides thi it will cost
the county an amount of money evidently
not contemplated by the Board wheG. pass
ing the order. have made no close calcu-
lation, but am of the opinion il will cost
thousands of collars.
do not hesitate to say that the order
should be rescinded at once, and thus stop
a useless waste of money.
Very respectfully yours,
