Mr.. EDITORS Our taxpayers were
somewhat startled at our County Treas
urer' S report a few weeks ago on finding
that our County was so deeply involved
in debt that our Supervisors found it ne
cessary to sell our Poor farm and turn our
poor ont on the mercy Of the people I'M
provided for. | ind by referring to pre-
vious proceedings and reports that our
County Treasurer salary was eighteen
hundred dollars, but at present is two
thousand dollars. Clerk Of Co. Board
aUas fifteen hundred Is nor two thousand.
Dist. Attorney FIVE hundred dollars, now
eight hundred. School Superintendent
eight hundred now one thousand. Clerk
of Court was three hundred and is now
teoetre hundred The annual support of
he poor used to be about four thousand,
now reaches the gross amount Of oyer
thirteen thousand The difference of
salaries and expenses of poor only amounts
to the snug sum of $50, 9OO), ten thou
sand nine hundred dollars. There are
still numerous other items, few of which
I will mention first, MIR. Woodin, Dist.
Attorney received two hundred dollars
for Office rent; second, the Board pur-
chased an old abstract Of ". Bach (which
cost him four hundred dollars some ten
or fifteen years ago and has since been in
constant use) for fire hundred dollars. :
Thus our County affairs are drifting
[ think it high time we looked after our
interests. SPECTATOR.

THEPooR FARM Non SoLD. On Tues
day last the Board Of Supervisors offered
the County Poor Farm at Public Sale ac-
cording to advertisement. The highest
bid received for it was $4,000, but the
Board considered the farm worth more
money and postponed the sale. Some
of our citizens think that was all it was
worth, others think it was worth IS, 000
The stock On the place was sold yesterday.
It brought between $3.50 and $500 and

Capt. Robert j. Robinson who is
well known in this vicinity, arrived in
town last Monday with the remains Of
his mother Mrs. Christopher Robinson
who died at her residence in the town Of
Eaton on the 9th inst. The funeral took
place on Tuesday last from the Windiate
House. In regard to Mrs. Robinson the
Chiffon Times says: Mrs. Robinson,
widow Of Christopher Robinson, Esq,
formerly of Athlone, Ireland, died at her
residence in the town of Eaton, Manito
VOC county (six miles from Chiffon, on
Tuesday of this week. She was one of
the most estimable Irish ladies it has
been our good fortune to meet upon
American soil. The Robinson family
throughout central Ireland, at one time,
obtained considerable noteriety for their
genuine Irish hospitality and hberality,
and in the King county and the county
of Westmeath they were considered sec
ord to none The world, however, is
but feeting show and riches have
Wings Misfortune came upon this
branch of the family and they emigrated
to the "Wilds of Wisconsin" about 20
years ago. Here they had to endure the
suferings incident to pioneer life, but,

fate, the old couple always sustained the
dignity. self respect and the hospitality

The genuine Grant men in the Senate de-
cline to accept the suspension of the tenure
ofofice act as a substitute for its repeal.
They say that it implies disrespectful dstrust
of the President and is nothing, in fact, pus
an expedient to put him on probation. The
anti-repealers profess to fear that Grant may
desert the Republican party, but their true
motive is an indisposition to give up their
control of the Offices. General Grant, how
ever, has too many old personal friends and
relatives, to make partnership of his patron
age. He wants the whole or none; and his
friends declare that he will fight it out on that
line if takes him all summer.

There are eight or ten candidates for the
Office of United States district attorney at
New York, all of them strong Republicans
and original Grant men. But the lucky one
is Augustus Ford, who keeps real estate
Office in Broadway. Ford knew Grant some
years ago and his brother has bill for kind
ness at one time to the President Part of
the bill was settled by making one of the
Fords collector of internal revenue at St
Louis, and a receipt in full is to be given
when the other is made district attorney at
New York. If not new. this is a very effec-
tive way to pay old debts

The Picayune seems to think that all those
who do not agree With it on questions relating
to the city charter, are interested in keeping
the present city officers in place. Would it
not be legitimate to infer that those who
agree with the Picayune are, in some way,
interested in turning them out. Our contem-
porary seems quite unable to recover from the
defeat Of its favorite measure at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature, and has taken to a
sort of general ''sloshing about" The histo-
ny of the California gentleman who had a SIM
liar penchant for free fights, does not appear
to have any restraining effect on the Plea

The New York Tribune says that the ap-
pointment of General Longstreet is an indica-
ton that men are not to be forever excluded
from office simply because "they aided the
rebellion" Precisely so-provided they join
the Radical party. When they do that their
disabilities will, of course, be removed But,
after all, is General Longstreets appointment
not due to the fact that he is a connection of
gentleman who is connected, by marriage,
with the Presidents family?

A number of Indians-a delegation of
Greeks, Choctaws, Cherokees and Chickasaws
called on General Grant a few days ago.
They said they confded in Grant, which high
ly gratifed the President !; and declared that
they wanted "peace," which, no doubt, Grant
considered a plagiarism and an impertinence,
though he did not say so. The interview,
however, was pleasant to all parties, from
which we presume it terminated in glass of
fire-water and pipe apiece, all round.
