A treasury order for less than thirty dol

A treasury order for less than thirty dol
lars was refused payment by the state treas
urer of Illinois, on Friday. The answer Civ
en- was, "Out of funds Even greenbacks
were exhausted, and the Notifying condi-
ton frankly acknowledged that the great
state of Illinois is without funds to pay of
the beggarly sum of thirty dollars. Every
year, under radical administration, this pain
full impecuniosity is exhibited.

The dramatization of Beecher's Norwood"
comes in for unanimous ridicule. One cor
respondent saws: The breakdown which
Miss Jennie Worrell dances is well planned :;
but even a performance on the tight rope by
one of the deacons of Plymouth Church in
tights, could scarcely save the piece. To
have dragged in COW (even by the horns),
closing the last act with a grand milking
scene by way of final tableau, would have
been good idea. Quite fine effect might
have been produced by having the COW kick
over the pail, particularly if she projected it
into the parquette; but this does not seem to
have occurred to Mr.. Beecher Another
correspondent writes: / went to see Norwood

wide open the door to numberless Jurors,
hitherto disqualified by both the laws Of
the State and common prudence.
We suppose it will not be definitely set
tied before August Term, and such being
the case, of course Il large amount Of the
county business will necessarily have to
be postponed for want Of suitable and COM
petent Jurors.
Many complaints and remarks having
been made concerning the new Jail and its
construction, IN connection with the re-
cent escape OF prisoners therefrom, ii
was resolved that committee of three be
appointed to investigate its condition, and
report to the next County Court, whether
it is properly constructed both for tho com.
! fort and safety of Prisoners and if there
is any insufficiency, to report if the cause
is from the workmanship, the materials Oh
plan of the building, and also to enquire
into the circumstances attending the recent
escape and report the same.
| This was a most proper step under the
circumstances, and as the County has paid
heavily for the construction of this build,
ing, they have right to expect to have
one commensurate with the cost both as tC
safety and durability and will most natur
ally desire to know where the fault, If fault
there be, should lie.
Owing to the recent heavy and contiE
ued rains, the Bridges and Roads of the
! County are in worse condition than known
| for years, and demanded speedy attention
As the damage to the Bridges had beer
! SO heavy and extended throughout the en-
tire County, the Court did not seem willing
at present to take the responsibility of hav
ing them repaired, but directed the Magis
tratcs to report at August Term the condi
ton of the Bridges in their respective
| Districts, when some decisive action vii
| be taken. In the meantime the same
course will be pursued by the Justices il
this matter as has hitherto been the Gus
tom.
Several Magistrates having already re
signed, and it being understood that some
others intended following their example
on account Of the difficulty and unpleasant
ness attending tho performance Of thei
duties under the present State Of affairs
the Chairman took advantage of the op
portunity to make an appeal to the patriot
ism and love of County Of those present
which we were glad to see produceda a mos
happy effect-and induced several wht
would probably have resigned to resolv,
to stand by their County in this her dires
need, and not by any action Of theirs, plac
the reins of authority, the disposal of the
persons and property of the entine County
in the hands of Military appointees, which
the experience of other Counties shov
would come from the lowest and most de
based portion of the community.
This must be the inevitable result of all,
such action on the part Of our Magistrates
and we now call upon them, by all the.
hold most dear, to stand manfully at thei1
posts and save us from the horrors and dis
grace Of any such dominion.

Bringing 1T Home to Them.

During the visit of the Viceroy of Egypt
to Paris deputation from the French Com
mittee of Emancipation and the British and
Foreign Anti-Slavery Society called upon
him and presented an address inviting his
attention to the White Nile slave trade
The Viceroy replied that he was most anx-
ious to put down the slave trade, and had
adopted the strongest measures for that
purpose, but, although he could and did
act against his own people, he was defeat
ed when he sought to do SO against Euro
peans, who were the chief deGnquents, car
rying on the slave trade under a pretext of
traffic in ivory, and carrying European col
ors, which prevented the Egyptian author
tiles from doing anything, as they were
debarred the right Of search. If the Euro
pean powers would arm him with that right,
he would exercise it. The extinction OF
slavery, the Viceroy said, was another and
| different question. He desired to see it ex-
tinguished, but it had existed in the coun-
try for twelve hundred and eighty three
years, was mixed up with its religion, and
could not be done away with in day. He
held that if the slave trade was started,
slavery would soon disappear.

Liens on Crops.
The following letter explains itself:

HEADQ'Rs SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,
CHARLESTON, S. G., July 10, 1867.
Sir: In reply to the inquiries you make
in behalf of certain foreign and northern
capitalists, | am directed by the Command
ing General to inform you that by General
Orders No 10, dated Headquarters Second
Military District, Charleston, S. c., April
11th, 1867, it is provided,
"That all advances of money, subsis-
tenco, implements, fertilizers, loaned, used
or REQUIRED for the purpose Of aiding the
agricultural pursuits of the people. shall be
protected And the existing laws which
have provided the most efficient remedies
in such cases for the lender will be sup
ported and enforced. Wages for labor
performed in the production of the crop
shall be a lien on the crop, and payment
of the amount due for such wages shall
be enforced by the like remedies provi-
ded to secure advances of money and 9th
er means for the cultivation of the soil. y
The local civil law formerly gave the
landlord of leased lands superior lien.
BY Par X of General Orders No. 81,
dated Headquarters Second Military Dis
trict, Both May, 1867, the remedy by DIS
tress for rent is abolished, thus removing
the lien Of the landlord which has been
hitherto paramount.
1t has been the purpose ana ann OF the
Commanding General to establish such
regulations as would promote the securl-
ty, economy and thrift of agriculture and
trade. Approaching as he does the ad-
vantages of permanent and certain guar
antees where capital is concerned, 1t is
not to be apprehended that any OF the
orders heretofore issued to promote these
desirable objects, will be inconsiderably
modified. On the Same basis advances OF
subsistence are made in certain cases to
impoverished planters in the Carolinas,
by the Government of the United States.
Very respectfully,

Kentucky Negroes Wont let Radicals Set
OH Juries.

a negro boy, who formerly belonged to
the Hon. John D. Young, hired himself to
a Radical ex-collector of the United States
revenue, at Owingsville, under a promise
of good wages. The negro worked faith
fully in compliance with his contract, but
his Radical employer failed to keep faith
with the honest negro; and refused to pay
the stipulated wages. No doubt the Radi-
cal thought his services in 1iberating ne
groes in Kentucky, was fair legal set off
against negro labor in his corn field !; but
the negro thought otherwise, and brought
suit for what was due him. The ex-collec-
tor demanded a jury, which was summoned
There happened to be three Radicals upon
the panel, but the negro having lost faith
in the honor OF his iberators, manifested
a decided repugnance to having his case
tried by them. He instructed his attorney
to strike them off, as he "didn't want no
mean Radical on his jury"
The three Radicals were accordingly dis
charged from the jury. The case was tried
by what the negro said were "honest
men, y aud the negro got Judgment for his
debt.
The negroes Of Kentucky are beginning
to find out who their best friends are.

,Ghcst Of the Past Constitution"

In his late speech upon the conference
report, commenting upon the fact that the
Senate was behind the House in the march
of radicalism, Mr.. Stevens said
"Some fragments of the old shattered
Constitution had stuck, perhaps, in the
kidneys of some Senators, laughter, and
troubled them at night When they tried
to progress, the ghost OF the past Constitu-
ton was found in their way, and obstructed
them. Perhaps that was natural enough.
He did not find any fault with it. y
This is gracious, and people who are
haunted by g the ghost of the past cOnsti-
tuition" or who are afflicted with what may
now be termed Stevens's "disease Of the
kidneys" have reason to be thankful. 1t is
natural frailty that the grand mogul of rad
icalism makes all due allowances for. We
like the frankness Of the avowal. The con-
stitution is pronounced to be dead by the
leader of the dominant party, and it is on
~ its ghost that now and then stalks
through the halls Of Congress, complain
ing, perchance, like the ghost of Hamlet S
father, of its own murder
"Murder most foul, as at the best it is
But this most foul, strange and unnatural"
Will this open. the eyes of the American
people They have prided themselves up
on their constitution as the essence of pO-
Etical wisdom and the great bulwark of
their civil liberties It is now disease OF
the kidneys, thing of the past, a ghost !
