Mr.. JAMES D. SAUNDERS persists
in thrusting himself before the public
through the columns of the Courier.
We have not felt inclined to criti-
else his conduct, under the impress
sion that it is pretty we'll understood
in this community why he has so
much trouble with those who employ
him. He was selected to locate the
Evansville and Carmi Railroad, but
his services were dispensed with at
the outset of his operations, for rea-
Sons we have not been disposed
to parade before the people. We
presume, however, that Mr.. JOHN A.
RE1Tz, the Director of the company
to whom was committed the details
Of the survey. will satisfy any good
Democrat who may apply to him fol
the reasons the company did not re-
tain Mr.. SAUNDERS, that his dismissal
was necessity, and surely Mr.. REIT1
cannot be justly accused of being
hostile to Dir. SAUNDERS through
political prejudice. Mr.. SAUNDERs'f
friends are very indiscreet in calling
attention to what most persons would
prefer should remain obscure and un.

The sOIdIers, BountY Law.

The time for fling claims for sol
diers' bounties will expire on the first
day of December, 1869. Those inter
ested in this important matter are re-
ferred to the following brief ATTRACT
of the law:
Soldiers who enlisted for three
years before July ID, 1864 and re-
ceived only 500 bounty, are entitled,
they or their widows, children under
twenty one, or parents (if not already
collected), to the 500 additional
bounty. All such soldiers discharged
before serving two years, for injuries
of any kind, including rupture (not
disease), are entitled, they or their
widows, or heirs (if not eollected), to
5000 bounty. Soldiers for three years
discharged before serving two years,
for disability-sickness or disease
contracted in the service, who have
died of said disability or disease, their
widows, children under tWenty-one,
or parents, are entitled to the 500
additional bounty, although the sol
der himself, if living, would not be
entitled.
Our soldiers will make note Of
this and look in time to their inter

The Methodist Book Concern Frauds.


At the date the New York Times
first announced the discovery of
frauds in the Methodist Publishing
House of that city. we made allusion
to the matter, and as a matter of
justice give the same publicity to the
report of the investigation of the
Book Committee, for which we are
indebted to Rev. B. f. RAwLINs, the
Chairman:
1.-The Book Committee appointed
by the General Conference of 1868,
being convened in New York to at
tend to the publishing interests Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, have
had their attention called to alleged
losses and frauds connected with the
New York Book Concern, and after
careful investigation and serious in
quiry into the business of the House,
during a session of two weeks, and
awaiting ourselves of the labors and
investigations Of subcommittee pre-
viously appointed, have reached the
following Judgment which, for the in
formation of the church and of the
conferences, we embody in the follow
ing resolutions, to-Wit:
1. ResolUed, That it is our deliber-
ate judgment that the last exhibit
of the Agents is a true and reliable
statement Of the financial response
bility and solvency of the Book Con-
Germ at New York.
2. That though the Agents have
bought paper and other materials for
the printing department., mainly
through dealers or middle men, yet it
does not appear by any facts before
the Committee that the Concern has
suffered any serious loss by such mode
of making purchases.
3. That the investigation of the
affairs and business of the bindery
has satisfied the Committee that there
| has been great mismanagement In
have occurred therein.
4. That the general management of
the business eff the Book Concern In
all matters involving its credit or in
tegrity, is such as to meet the approval
of the Committee and command the
confidence of the public.

The arrest Of Gen. BUTLER by Miss

1862, stolen the jeweled swords from
her, which had been given her by
Gen. TwIGGs, has attracted so much
notice that the publication of the fol-
lowing facts, obtained from the re-
cords of Congress, will be interesting
By way of explanation. On the 1st of
July. 1862, Gen. BUTLER, in his letter
to President LINCOLN, accompanying
the swords, said, after describing the
weapons;
General Twiggs left these swords
with young woman on the evening
before he fed from New Orleans, and

THE question of taxation and econ.

THE question of taxation and econ
omy in the management of the affairs
of the city is one that the people are
vitality interested in. and one from
whose discussion we shall never
shrink. The present Council may or
may not have conducted the corpora
ton business In an economical man
ner. This, of course, can only be as
csrtained by comparing the present
year with the preceding. Our i'm
preston now is that the comparison
will not reflect discredit on the pres
emit Council, or convince the people
that return to the practice of the
preceding Council will be either sensi-
Bile or profitable. Possibly, we may
be mistaken, but if so, the facts will
set US right.

EoaE ag least one man appreciates their real con-

The quiet fidelity with which "she" will dish
wash her life away for ''him" is a marvel of
endurance and grace. Just here is the scrvi-
tude OF woman heaviest-no sooner is her work
done than it requires to be done again. Man
works up Jobs, ends them, and takes his pay
ms pay can be translated into something else
desirable. man works all day and draws pay
Tor his day work This pay allures him as
oats u horse homeward bound. Thus men work
by terms and jobs; and although work is endless
as TO quantity, yet when cut up thus into terms
ana JOBS, we men go heartily on our journey
ana count the milestOnes.
Not so with our mate. She mcnds our socks
ana we put our irrepressiblc toe upon the darned
spot, and she darns it again. "She" washes for
the family, and the family makes haste to send
oack the same garments to be washed again.
Hhe puts the room in order, and we get it ready

washing, the same room every time. She has
no successive Jobs, no terms, no pay day no
