The Wheat Crop.


We clip the following from the Clarks-
vile Tobacco Leaf:
We are gra!i6ed to learn that the appre-
tensions entertained by our planters in the
latter part of February, and the frat few
days of the present month, that the heavy
freezes then occurring would do serious
damage to the growing wheat, have not
been realized. The warm rains which fell
80 generally throughout this section the
first of last week, settled the ground and
repaired what little damage had been done.
The immense crop now in the ground may
therefore be considered tolerably secure
against any danger in the future except
that of rust. Whether i: will be damaged
by that enemy, or wholly or partially sx'
empted, cannot yet be predicted. At pres
ent it looks remarkably promising.

EDS. CHRONICLE: We are now having
some pretty warm weather; a few weeks
more like this will make change in the
appearance of the country. The fires on

quite beautiful sight in the spring of the

things they appear grand and terrific,
winding slowly around and over the bluffs
like fiery serpents.........Business is look

going on. Nathan Hodgson is building
a new and fine billiard saloon over the ru-

Others of our citizens are following suit.
........ Quite number of RATS are going
down the river. Several have stopped
here, and we are to have another lumber

The Bonds.

The suit Of the county against the Min
eral Point railroad company has been de-
cided in the Supreme Court against the
county of Iowa-the judgment of Mr..
Mills being reversed. This leaves the
county just as it found it, with the bonds
impending, which the courts say must be
paid. They amount, with interest, &C., to
something like five hundred thousand dol
lars-auite national debt for one county
to pay for the sake of three miles of rail-
road. If the road is pushed on through
the county, the bonds might be paid; but
not of course, in one year, nor yet in two,
but in annual installments which will make
the burden much less on taxpayers than
has been supposed. The present is good
time to purchase property in the county,
but very poor time to SELL We advise
the people to hold on to their property un-
less they can get for it all that it is worth.
Let us see how the problem figures up:
The assessed valuation of property in
the several towns for 1868 was SIX million
five hundred and ninety-eight thousand
eight hundred and thirty-five dollars and
fifteen cents, ($6,59s, 1886, l5.) To pay the
bonds all at once would require a tax of
seven cents five and one-half mills on the
dollar. In three installments the tax
would be about two cents and eight mills
on the dollar. In five installments one
cent and Eve mills on the dollar, taking
the assessed valuation of last year as the
basis. The valuation of the property in
the county is constantly increasing, which
will make proportionate decrease in the
tax. rf bea v.a.f -Ho
Sc We shall have something further to say
on this subject next week.

A Personal Journalist.

:. John Russell Young has been for some
time and now is managing editor of the
New York Tribune. Charles A. Dana,
now. of the Sun of that city, formerly
held the position. BY some means Mr..
Dana obtained possession of series OF
letters from Mr.. Young to Mr.. McClin-
took, of Philadelphia, one of his most in
innate friends from boyhood. These let
tiers were purely confidential and no hon.
orable man would have shown, nor fair
minded publisher have used them. Hor-
ace Greedy says the charges on which Mr..
Young stands arraigned by the San on the
strength of these letters are substantially
these: Huezg G es stE
Having an exaggerated conceit of his own abili-
ties and qualifications for journalism with CORES
pondng defective appreciation of the merits OF some
s of his present or recent associates.
2. Abusing his position on the Tribune and his in
fuence journalist to promote his private ends,
and especially to loans subsidies for his
his friends Philadelphia venture or ventures
g.. Betraying the confidence reposed in him by this
establishment to transmit surreptitously the dis
patches of the Associated Press to his Philadelphia
Journal or journals, not entitled to receive them.
Mr.. Greedy adds: (" With the first of
these imputations the public has no prop
er business the second,we are confident,
is false and unfounded the third, we
trust, will prove equally So" He further
condemns the indecency of the attack of
Dana, and says: ave beg that it be un-
derstood that Mr.. Young has not been re-
moved nor suspended, nor in any manner
condemned by US, as has been mistakenly
asserted by the San, and telegraphed all
over the country 1t is not our custom to
pass Judgment on any one on the strength
of mere Indictment, especially when the
finding of it was plainly inspired by envy,
malice and blighted aspirations"

A TRAGEDY IN IowA.-The Dubuque
Times says that bloody tragedy was en-
acted in La Porte City, town few miles
southwest of Waterloo, Blackhawk county,
Iowa, last Wednesday evening. Two
neighbors, named Barnes and Moultrie,
some years ago married sisters, and recent
ly Moultrie paid more attention to Mrs.
Barnes than was warranted by the rules Of
society, and stories began to be circulated
that all was not right between them. Then
Moultrie, becoming bold, boasted of his in
trigue with his sisterin-law. This talk
coming to the ears Of Barnes, he forbade
Moultrie from entering his house again
but on the evening mentioned above, he
came home from the village to find Moul-
trie in his yard. Going into the house, he
got his rife, went out, and shot his enemy
through the shoulder Moultrie turned
upon Barnes, when the latter struck him
several times with the butt Of his musket,
wounding him so seriously that his life is
despaired of. The sympathy Of the neigh
borhood is with Barnes.

Dismissal Of Treasury Clerks.

Immediately after Mr.. Boutwell, assumed
the duties of Secretary of the Treasury he
notified the heads of bureaus in his De-
partment, to inform him of the condition of
business in said bureaus, and the number
of clerks employed. 1t was ascertalned
that in some of the bureaus there were
hundred clerks, male and female, more
than were necessary to discharge the du-
ties, and it appears that this large increase
had been made just before the last admin
stration went out of power. Orders were
at once given to the heads Of bureaus to
cut down the clerical force to the actual
requirements of the Department. A COM
mittee was accordingly appointed to make
an examination as to the proper persons
to be discharged. 1t was found that in
some cases there were as many as three IN
one family in the department, and in many
cases both the men and women were in
competent to discharge the duties sof an
ordinary clerk. Others belonged to the
johnson Departmental Club, and had been
leading rebs" during the rebellion. Oi
course they were ordered to be dismissed.
There are good many more clerks in the
Department, whose services will be dis
pensed with before the commencement OF
the fiscal year, July 1. The Secretary ex-
poets to make the Department more eff
cient by reducing the force at least one
third, and at the same time, save very
considerable amount of money to the Gov
eminent. E
