Proclamation for the County
Infrmary.
Editor Fauetle County Herald!

Editor Fayette County Herald
It appears that after a thorough
examination into the condition OF
our Courty Infrmary by our Coun-
ty Commissioners, as required by
law, they became satisfied that the
accommodations Of our present In
hrmary was entirely inadequate to
supply the present and prospective
wants of our county, and they
came to the conclusion that instead
of making additional improve
ments to the temporary buildings
now occupied for that purpose on
the County Farm Of 100 acres, two
miles South Of Washington, the
better plan would be to sell that
farm, and invest the proceeds in the
erection of new and suitable build
ings on the magnificent farm Of SOP
acres, North of Washington on the
Columbus and Washington Road,
which was devised to the county by
the late Peter Carder. The estima.
ted expense of such Improvements
amounts to about $25,000; and the
next question was, how to raise the
necessary funds without its becom-
ing too burdensome for our gener-
Gus tax payers. 1t was found that
there is on hand 81, 900 of a build
ing fund which has hitherto been
used tor the purpose of cancelling
our Rail Road debt and otherpress-
ing drafts on the Treasury during
the last year, but owing to the levy
made since for the Rail Road, that
$11, ,000is now availsble as a build
ing fund, which, together with the
proceeds of the sale of the present
Inirmary Farm, would make about
$4,000 to be appropriated for the
erectien of a New Infrmary Build
ing on the Carder Farm, as pro
posed; the balance necessary for
the completion of the building
would have to be raised by taxation
to the amount of from one half to
one mill on the dollar valuation Of
the taxable propery of the county.
In the present buildings, the old
and infrm, as well as the young of
both sexes. are obliged to be the
daily associates of the diseased, i'd
lotto and crazy inmates, simply for
want of room for their accommo-
lation, while many are entirely ex-
GUIDED for want of room, and are
obliged to be provided for outside
md we are informed that the ex-
'ense of subsisting paupers outside
If the Infrmaly during the last
line months, amounts to about
$3.50 90. As a matter of course,
'ur Infrmary expenses must in
rease with the increase of popula-
ion; and the question for the peo-
lie to decide at the Spring election
), whether they will authorize the
)ounty Commissioners to erect c
uitable buildings which cost over
10000, the amount to which they
re limited by law, without submit {
ng it to a vote of the people, or
lust they provide additional ac- 4
ommodations at less expense to )
ur present dilapidated Infrmary 4
which they are authorized I
, do without submitting it to a T I
ote. The dictates of humanity
ould seem to demand the one or Y
Ie other. *@* :

Report Of Washington Union
School for the week ending March

The Withdrawals we've also re-
ported-for confined absence. The
suspensions were as follows; One
from the I'd intermediate Depart
ment, for refusing to furnish the
required books, and one from the
High School Department, -declar-
ed by the Board nonresident-for
refusing to pay tuition. A large
ofthe absence was oc-
casioned by sickness, resulting
from colds. A few were absent and
tardy on account of religious meet
ings. These causes, together
with the bad weather, have made
the week a very unpropitious one
for the schools.

PREsIDENTIAI..

We clip the following from the Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial
Il don't know how it is, throughout The
country, but here in Washington the
strongest champions Of the Chase move
ment are to be found among the acknowl-
edged leaders Of the Democratic party,
Dan. Voorhees, takes the lead, and insists
that the nomination Of the Chief Justice is
foregone conclusion. Whether in this he
represents the Democracy of Indiana, there
is now no definite means Of ascertaining /;
but il is not likely that he would act and
speak in such a matter entirely on his own
responsibility"
This correspondent has certainly done
Mr.. Voorhees, great injustice. AT the
Democratic State Convention last January,
Mr.. VOORHEES, was a warm and ardent sup
porter Of Mr.. Pendlelon, and earnestly
favored a stronger resolution of preference
than the one passed by the convention.
His friends in this Safe place him among
the warmest friends of Mr.. Pendleton's s
nomination. But aside from this, the De
mocracy Of Indiana in their State Conven-
ton, where the voice of the Democratic
people were fully heard, expressed their
preference" for Mr.. PendletOn, and we
are well assured that the delegates they ap-
pointed will faithfully and honestly repre-
sent their wishes.-Indiandpolis Sentinet,

WHO ARE THE REPUDEATORS-
SENATOR SIERMAN's LETTER.
From the Cincinnati Enquire

The Radical organs are accusing Mr..
Pendleton and his friends of being repudi-
ators, because they are opposed 20 paying
the hve-twenty bonds in gold. Now, on
this subject, we want to give them good
Radical authority yea, more than thst-
good impeacher authority. We allude TO
Senator sherman, of Ohio. Did any of
them ever see his letter For fear they
may have not, we republish it. He is the
Chairman OF the Committee on Finance in
the Senate. lie is, therefore, well acquainted
with all the bond laws, We ask our Re-
publican friends 10 read his letter and
alter doing so, TO remember that Grant and
Colfax are the bOndholder candidates, and
are in favor OF paying the Eve-twenty bonds
in gold Here is Senator Sherman's letter:
"UNIrED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, March 20, lS6S.-DEAR
sir: was pleased to receive ycnr letter,
NV personal Interests are the same as yours,
but like you, | do not intend 20 be in
duenced by them. My construction Of the
law is the result Of careful examination,
and / feel quite sure an impartial court
would confirm il if the case could be tried
before court / send Won my views a.
fully stated in a speech. Your idea is that
We propose 10 repudiate or violate promise
when we offer to redeem the principal in
legal-tenders.
81 think the b0ndholder violates his
promise when he refuses 10 take the same
kind of money he paid for the bond. If
the case is 10 be tested by the law, / am
right; il it is TO be tested by Jay Cook s's
advertisements, | am wrong. hate re-
pudiation or anything like il, but We ought
not 70 be deferred from doing what Is right
by fear of undeserved ePithets. II, under
the law a. it stands, the holder Of Eve
twenties can only be paid Ia gold, then we
are repudialors If we propose TO pay other
wise. II, on the other hand, Ihe bend-
holder can legally demand only the Kind Of
money be paid, then he Is a repudiator and
An extortioner 10 demand money more
valuable than he gave.
"Truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN.
