CAPT lain Dsr Ilns's Repb.oE

ZAP taihz III AhSs poPg0a
We direct attention to the reply OF
Capt. ALEXANDER DARLING to the
charges contained in the Courier of
yesterday. After careful reading
we are satisfied that every candid
man, irrsspeetive,& party, VII ag<ee
that there is nothing whatever. in the
charges which can affect his honesty
as a man or a public officer.
He is charged Ff4 living been
allowed by the County Commissioners
SO, 12l q during his term of office,
and the impression is sought to be
made that this amount was clear
net 'gaip which vent into FAgwn
pocket. The author of the charge
knew that he was penning palpable
falsehood, when he wrote it; and
every citizen Who viii read Captain
DARLING's reply will readily see it.
If we deduct the expense of keeping
the County j Am ($6, 83 40 SinaS AA
care of the Court House ($771 13),
there remains, accYr3nglf9 the fig
ures of the Courier, 81 ,696 IS as the
allowances made by the County Com
missionersr to- the SHERIFF fora tyo
years services Of ar kinds, including
sundry special items. Certainly this
amount does not warrant the charge
of pldnder an" corruption so reck-
lessly made. But Captain DARLING
denies that he has received one cent
illegally Aor anjustly,,s and he ehaf
lenges the elosestrsserptinYI The
charge against Captain DARLING is
of such fimsy character and so
completely without sfoandation, that
it cannot but react with damaging
power upon the men who have ins.i-
gated it. Capt. DARLING stands upon
his own merits as solder,ia citizen,
and public officer; and he is pre-
pared to meet all such attempts as
these shameless SANDERS TO defeat
him before the people. The whole
expose against Messrs, HYSEs and
BIscH and Colonel RHEINLANDER is
made, not to injure them specially,
not cut of regard for the tax payers
as is pretended, but Solely to dam
age the prospects of DARLING and
bolster up JAKE MILLER in his for
lorn race for Sheriff. aifw o7ois fisai
Our greatest interest," and that of all
responsible citizens in the selection of
county officials, is to look ltoetheir
honesty. and capability. And if it
could be established that Captain
DARLING had forfeited the confidence
reposed in him by the loyal people of
Naaderburgh- County by piundering
the County Treasury, q as fs'charged,
we,woulds notstand, between him and
an outraged public. But when it is
made so apparent that the malicious
SANDERS are so ntterly without found
alton, we cannot refrain from de-
nouncing in the most unmeasured
terms thcyillainy<of the echeme con-
eocted for purely political purposes,
and to strengthen the weak fortunes
of noted, Cepperhead zaspirant for
the same Office. And the people of
vanderburgh County will place the
stamp s 0f Ieondseqmplnaa atqn upon it at the
polls.

taxpayers and experienced citizens,
in-whese Judgment the people will
repose confidence, to make thorough
and complete examination of all
county matters. The whole subject
of the county admins tration can thus
be ascertained in an authoritative man
ner, and in such way as will COM
mend itself to the ACCEPTANCE Of the
people Asst il nov pfesen ted, While
the charges are grave enough In their
amounts and character, the dninaus
of the authors and the glazing mis-
representations which accompany
them will condemn them as entirely
insufficient to base a judgment upon.
As we have remarked. the Repub-
licans of this County pay three
fourths of the taxes, and are certain
ly interested in an honest administra-
ton of its affairs. But they are not
to be hoodwinked by such political
clap trap upon the eve of an cleo
ton, as that which appeared in the
Courier of yesterday; neither are
tllep ysa insane as stosbA nd the
County to the Cspperheads, in order to
ensure the safety of the public treas
ury. If any illegal allowances have
been made they know very well that
the wrongs will not be corrected by
placing the Democracy in power,
with its throng of hungry and uncon-
scionable officesseekers. The people
are able to rectify existing evils, if any
there be, in a better and safer man
ner. We have confidence that our
county officials will be able to sue
cessfully refute the charges made
against them. Captain DARLING,
this morning, makes a complete and
unanswerable vindication, and one
which Will react upon his base ira
ducers. The others stand ready to do
the same. As far as the pending cleo
ton is concerned, the whole object of
the publication at this time was to de-
feat DARLING for Sheriff. The alleg-
tons of dishonesty so completely fail
TO be established by their own show
ing that he will on the second Tues
day of October be triumphantly vim
dictated.
But as far as an Investigation Of
county affairs is concerned, no indig-
nant Democratic taxpayer will go
furtherstlfantwwe aud the Republican
party in demanding a complete and
searching examination; and if ille-
gality or dishonesty is apparent, that
the guilty be made to suffer; and that
faithful and worthy officers be vindi-
Gated from false and malicious charges.

The RAILROAD CONSTRUCTORS. We
published yesterday q full description of
the above machine, which by referring
to an item, in our columns to-day, has
been tried before practical railroad men,
and pronounced a complete success.
We have since talked with Mr.. Almarin
B. Paul, who is one Of the several indi-
viduals who stepped forward, and, with
the inventor, Mr.. W. D. Robertson, had
constructed a full sized working ma
chine. Mr.. Paul regards It Of incalcu-
liable value to Nevada. The idea of lay-
ing railroads by steam, is certainly q
wonderful stride, and not to DO lost
sight of. Nevada lays claim to this in
yention, as Mr.. Robertson brought
forth the idea, in Humboldt county Of
this State. As g success, it is one
Of the greatest inventions Of the age.

TRAGEDY INA CouRr RooN.-Boston,
March 1.-The Superior Criminal Court,
in session at East Cambridge, was the
Gene of q tragedy to-day. A man
named VIM. Il. 0rne, who was convicted
last fall of setting fire to public build
ings in Charlestown, and who had OBJ
tanned q new trial, had just been con-
yicted o second time, and was about to
be sentenced by Judge Russell, when
his counsel went to him and spoke a
few words to him, after which he de-
clared his innocence of the crime Of
which be had been convicted, and just
as he made the assertion the second
time, unbuttoned his vest, and drawing
an open jack-knife, from his pocket, stab
bed himself three times before the weap-
on could be wrested from him. AS soon
as an examination could be made, it
was found that two Of his wounds had
penetrated the lungs, and the other one
nearly reached his heart. He was at
once conveyed to the jail adjoining the
Court House. There is no possibility of
his recovery. e. UVgTFnw aEV#fh

OUR SCHOOL "BoMBAsTEs FU-
RIoSOo AGAIN.

That malcontented ~nincompoop Of our
lying morning contemporary on the other
side Of the Divide, whose feeble and de-
bauched mind is charged with about
equal parts of knavery and mendacity,
and all under the rickety control of
morbid egotism, has issued another Of
his windy-wordy, meaningless procla-
nations, about Storey county school Of
fairs, and proffers his sage advice to
our County School Superintendent,
with m imbecile i~mpudence that would
reflect no discredit upon the intelligence
and tact of his elder brother, Emperor
Norton I. This pretentious assinego
pirates about the malice Of the Superin-
tendent, if he shall dare to refuse to re-
fuse to recognize school officers who
have been illegally elected, and modest
ly suggests that it would be about the
fair thing to appoint those parties who
were elected on Tuesday, the I'd inst.
Doggett is terribly exercised, and goes
into spssms at the very idea of the
school officers becoming involved in lit
igatiou. This Philanthropos ofthe genus
Cataline, writhes at the bare thought Of
school moneys being enjoined and the
schools closed. These possible contin-
geucies to his sensitive soul are about
equal to social dissolution and univer-
sal anarchy, and it is to be presumed
that his earnest prayer now is, that he
be taken hence to the place "where
good darkies 60" But to be serious,
this community have not forgotten how
this same fellow, Doggett, enjoined the
school funds-kept school officers in lit
igation for nearly mi year, and the
teachers, the schools and the public are
not indebted to this school disturber,
that our schools are to-day in a high
state of prosperity, instead Of q state Of
generalization and ruin. This same
fellow warned the public but a few days
since that if the Storey county School
Bill became a law, its legality would be
Gtigated to the bitter end. With him,
as with injustice in the fable, it makes
all the difference as to whose OK is
gored, in regard to the right or the
wrong Of an act. Doggett and his par
ty appear to consider themselves Ii.
eensed to make war upon schools, but
for Others to resist their antagonlsm is
treason to the cause Of education. We
hope the School Superintendent will go
on as heretofore, in his part of the man
agement of our schools, regardless Of
the constant barking at his heels Of the
little terrier of the Enterprise or Of any
other persons, who have been disaffect-
ed by its constant yelpings.
If contention, litigation and monetary
enjoinings shall spring out of the pres
emit state of affairs, the fault certainly
cannot be properly charged upon the
School Superintendent. If n unfortu-
nate and unnecessary feud shall grow
out Of the present condition of affairs,
the fault will certainly be chargable
upon those who will attempt to force
themselves upon the School Department
against legal authority.

TIE religion Of Christ is distinguished
from all others by its great fruitfulness
and joyfulness in private experience.
There have been other religions that
had the power Of stirring up zeal, in
tense activity, fanaticism, and of bring
ing men, by cities and nations, into
campaigns of religious effectiveness,
such as it was; but non other has been
like the Christian in entering into the
hearts of the poor, the desolate, the ig-
%norant, the wicked, q by one, and
separately, and stirring up there, not
simply q new life Of purity, but such
h~opefulness, such joyfulness, as brought
all the powers into q very summer Of
growth and efficiency. All this has
been peculiar to the Christian religion.
