CARs1x, AGAlN.--If one.half the charges
made by the Union agaiest Carson, the
seward of the poor farm, are true, the com
mittee ought to remove him and employ a
better man. If the charges are not true,
then they originate in personal malice and
political spite, and he ought not to be re.
moved. Certainly the committee ought to
know whether his bills are reasonable, and
whether be treats the unfortunate poor prop.
erly. If the committee don't know this,
then there ought to be committee appoint,
ed who can ascertain the facts and act upon
them. The fact that the committee retain
him would seem to warrant the conclusion
that the attacks OF the Union are unbound.

The "senior editor" of the Union ought
to be appointed Secretary of the United
States Treasury. His extraordinary fnan.
cial abilities are not appreciated here, and
we call upon Gen. Grant to do justice to his
neglected talents. If any one thing in his
career is worthy Of particular notice
it is his discovery of how to pay debts in an
economical way, as instanced in his views on
the Wieman bonds and the Camden road
improvement. The way he would have
dpne is this: In 1867, the people demanded
that the Camden road beimproved immediat'
". The city had the money on hand to pay
for the work. The city also owed J. W.
Wieman $40, 1000 but it was not due until the
following year. The "senior editor" no"
claims that the city council Of 1867 should
have borrowed money at a high ratio OF IN
terest to improve the Camden road, and
have laid the $4,000 on hand away in
safe and locked it up, and, in 1868, when
Wiemans bouds became due, handed the key
of the safe to Murdoch, so be could unlock
it and take out the money and hand it to

PERsoNAL-THE SOLDIERS MONUMENT
Mr.. John H. Volk, nephew of the sculptor
arrived in town this "Wednesday morning,
and from him we learn that the pieces for
the monument have all arrived, and are all
in position, except the statue, that will be
shipped to day, and probably arrive here to-
morrow-Thursday. 1t will be Immediately
placed in position, by Mr.. L. Burkhardt, IA
member of the firm, who has been here for
some time, experimenting the work, and
will then remain exposed to the view Of oil.
The time for the formal dedication Of the
monument has not yet been fixed, and, on
account of the uncertainty in regard to the
weather, it may be postponed until spring.
We are not authorized to say that it will,
but it may be. If the weather should be
favorable, Washingtons birthday would be
a good day for the public Inauguration GER
emonies. We only make the suggestion
the committee will give due notice Of the
day, when they have agreed upon it.
