A meGSure OF ECONOMY.

In quite a number Of the leading
counties OF the State the Boards Of
Supervisors have recently ordered the
official publication Of their proceedings,
besides an annual exhibit OF County Fl.
nanCes. II cannot be doubted that there
Is true economy 10 this. The surest
way to prevent administration is to
require that all the acts OF official
boards and bodies shall be accurately
and regularly laid before the people 10
whom the officials are answerable.
When the knowledge 10 not likely 10 go
beyond narrow circle, men will vote
for measures which they wouldn't touch
II they knew the facts would he ex.
hibIIed Tor public inspection. Conceal.
nsnt IL Ut once the cause and prOtec
ton ofull official corruption. Nothing
Will 30 certainly lead TO systematic
purity and discretion on the part Of
officers w the publication OF their acts.
When men know they have to face The
public scrutiny they will I've careful. 1t
cannot be otherwise.
We make these remarks for the pur.
pose Of adding that we see no good rea-
son why the Supervisors OF Ohio coun.
~ should not follow the example OF
others, and direct the preparation and
publication In the leadiDgjOurnals OF the
county, OF accurate reports OF their pro.
ueedlmgs, and al least annual exhibits
OF receipls and expenditures. such In.
formation would be GLADLY receI wed by
all the people OF the county; and by
Inducing more careful legislation and
more guarded expenditures, the cost Of
the publication would be saved TO the
uuuniy many times over. II must al
ways be real economy 10 make publ
cation Of the acts OF officials entrusted
With the management OF such business

They are the county Legislature, and 10

great moment. One result Of such q
syStem would be 10 attract the attention
oil our people to the Importance OF the
functions Of these officers, and t he me-
csssIsyi OF having the best men 10 per-
form them. The public can't know too
much for their own good about the
Transaction Of all public business, be.

publIcItyis given 10 1t, the more GER
InIuIy will the business be well and
economically done.

REMARKABLE ACCIDENT - DISASTROUS
ErFECTs--A letter received at Louisville
from Princeton, Ky, speaks of fearful ac-
cident which occurred OH the Goth. man
named Boot Crow was hauling upon wa
gon two immense mill-stones, one of which
weighed 1850 pounds. While passing along
III. side Of high Hill the heaviest stone
rolled from the wagon and down the decliv-
itv with great velocity, crushing small trees
and shrubbery in its course. The house OF
a farmer named Darwcll was situated at the
foot Of the hill. The milestone went crush
ing through fence and into the yard Of
the farmers house, where were number
Of bee hives. In the yard were playing
bevv of children. The bee-hiVes were up
set, and the bees in the confusion lighted
upon the children, singing every one OF them
in frightful manner. The progress Of the
great stone was not impeded in the least by
its collision with the hives, and went bound
ing into stock pasture beyond the house.
1t dashed into a herd Of calves and horses,
killing two of the former and one of the lat
ter almost instantly. The children in the
yard had been completely covered with the
bees, and each one was stung by them until
their persons were entirely covered with
white swcllings. One of them died lew
hours after the terrible occurrence, and two
others are entirely Bpeechless and blind.
They can hardly recover.

The CROPS n THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.
The Cincinnati Price Current of Wednesday
says:
1.-The wheat, oat, and barley crops have
been secured in the entire valley OF the
Ohio, in excellent condition, and the result
has been highly satisfactory. Hay has
been injured some, while being harvested,
by the heavy rains, but not seriously. The
crop is good. Corn is doing very well IN
the Chic valley, the growth being very
rapid but in that part Of this State bor-
dering on the lakes, and in northern llli-
nois, it is in bad condition and cannot be
more than a moderate crop, owing to the
unusual amount Of rain which has fallen,
and the cold, backward spring. The spring
wheat in the Northwest is in bad condition,
aud doubtless will be badly damaged, as
rain has fallen at intervals il that region
Of country during the past week. There
has been some improvement IN trade
during the week. Flour and grain are
generally higher, and there has been
pressing demand for new wheat, from the
lake towns and from the East, far in excess
Of the supply, and at steadily advancing
prices. Corn has been very scarce ana

LOUISIANA New Orleans paper says
that the old plantation system and slave
labor had tendency to keep the country
in rude and comparatively uncultivated
state. Flourishing towns could not spring
up within few miles of each other, as
thiey have done in the North, East, and
West, as they will do here, under the new
order of things, in the course OF time
Every succeeding year will demonstrate
that the change is for the better, and that
free labor is destined to do for this favored
land what it has done for countries far less
favored by nature-make it blossom like
rose, and become the garden spot for intel
lieent and industrious men-men who will
delight in cultiyating the soil.

Judge Dent and the Mississippi
Nomination.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-In reply to
letter from Messrs. Jeffards and Norman
inquiring as to the truth of dispatches to
the New York papers to the effect that he
would not accept the National Union Re-
publican nomination, Judge Dent writes
the following:
WASHINGTON, July 80, 1869.
"Gentlemen,-In replying to your com
munication, beg leave to say, that while
cannot decline what has not been formally
offered me, you are at liberty to say to the
National Republican party, and the people
Mississippi generally, that in the event of
of my nomination, l shall certainly accept it.
I have never authorized any person to say
I would decline nomination if rendered
me by the National Union Republican party
of Mississippi; and again assure you that
my purpose to that end remains fixed and
unalterable.
81 earnestly desire the restoration of the
southern States with constitutions and laws
that will effectually secure the civil and
political rights of all persons.
Very respectfully, yours,

TIE CHASE PRESIDENTIAL MOVEMENT.

The CHASE PRESIDENTIAL MOVEMENT
That there is a movement on foot through
Out the southern States, and some of the
middle States, to get up Chase party
within the ranks of the Republican organi-
zation, is too apparent to leave any room
for doubt. What is called the Conservative
movement in the southern States, which has
just resulted in the election of Governor
Walker in Virginia, aud has produced the
nomination Of Senter in Tennessee and
Hamilton in Texas, is but the forerunner of
the nomination of Chief Justice Chase as o
Conservative candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1872. The Democratic party will
not attempt to put up another candidate for
the Presidency, but will support Judge
Chase if nominated by Conservative Con-
vention. An intelligent Washington CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, speak
ing of the result in Virginia, says:
"From first to last Chief Justice Chase
was consulted, and for much of the time he
was on the ground in person. His prefer
encc for Walker did more than anything
else to divert the negro vote from Wells,
and il was the division Of their vote that
elected Walker. The election may be re-
garded as the first success of tho Chase
movement for the next Presidential cam
paign, which has already much wider rami-
fications than many believe. In Virginia,
Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Maryland,
and New York, it has already actively mani
tested itself.
so The means in use are not all open to
the eye of the public. A year previous to
the Chicago Convention the military autho-
rites in Virginia discovered that the negro
population of that State was being organ
lied into secret political leagues by persons
travelling over the South at Government
expense ostensibly as inspectors Of schools,
but really to organize these leagues in the
interest of Mr.. Chase for the Presidency.
The same organization, formed In the same
way, was traced by the military authori-
ties in other parts of the South. 1t still
exists in Virginia.
"Within o short time it has made it's up
pearance in Maryland. There it is regu-
lar organization, with oatEs, signs, and a
constitution. The same agents Of the Go
vernment who helped to organize the blacks
in Virginia and other parts of the South
are active in Maryland now, and the pre-
sent aim is to unite the blacks Of that State
to the neutrality-suspicious. expecting when
the fifteenth amendment is ratified to carry
that State for Chase.
In New York city the movement has
been both vigorous and effective. There its
object has been to secure the primaries, and
to be able to designate the next State Cen
trail Republican Committee, which holds on
for two years and if it could be consti-
tuted as these men desire, it would have
two of the most important years of the
campaign in which to work. Well-informed
Republicans of New York city, who are
earnestly opposed to Mr.. Chase, agree that
the danger is very great that this move
ment will carry the city and enough of the
State to secure the Central Committee"
