WASHINGTON CITY. ID. c., l
Sent. 8. 1869.

The death of Secretary Rawlins
was not unexpected, but it is not
saying too much to declare that its
announcement came upon our citi-
zens somewhat like a personal be-
reavement. The abilities of the
man were too great to be question
ed, bis integrity beyond doubt, his
devotion to the Constitution of his
country pre-eminent in this age of
veBaI traitors and demagogues, and
in addition, his simplicity of man.

his address have made him general

is rather remarkable that the Radi-

CHINESE SERvANrs.-A San Fran
cisco correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce says the great
est and most pleasant revolution,
under the new style of "help," is in
domestic life. Almost without ex-
cop.ien tho families who have made
the experiment Of Chinese service,
have come to regard it as q great
and blessed relief in the matter OF
housekeeping. He has had this
serveice for many months in his
homo, and would not go back to the
old system of Irish service for any
price. The new servants are neat,
cheerful, skillful, economical, put
on no airs, stipulate for no privi-
leges, entertain no company, look
sharp after all the odds and ends,
make no complaints and are satisfi-
ed with very moderate wages.

HELENA, TEXAS, Aug. %, 1869.

EDITORS SAN ANTONIO HERAtD;-
The Taylor gang of desperadoes
were surprised at sunrise yesterday
morning by U. S. Special Officer G..
S Bell, in command of squad of
citizens, and Hays Taylor was killed
on the spot. Dobe Taylor and
Henry Westfall were mortally
wounded. One of the citizens,
Charles Maddox, was slightly woun-
ded in the head. 1t is now thought
that the reign of terror in this re-
gion is over, and general feeling
of satisfaction prevails in conse-
qucnce of Capt. Bells success in
crushing those dreaded outlaws.
The Taylor's were surprised at their
rancho and the, fight lasted thirty
seconds.

DsS@ The Galveston and San Antonio pa
pers, are in exstacies over new patent for
gas-the machines are manufactured and
sold by our friend, Pat. Hennessy, of the
former city, and are cheaper than any 9TH
er machines. The San Antonio Herald has
the following notice of one of these ma
chimes:
We went around to DIR. Kalteycr's
Drug Store on Tuesday evening, by
special invitation, to see how Hen.
nessy's Air Gas Machines work, and
we confess that we were surprised
Notwithstanding the many notices
we have read Of them in the GAL
weston and Houston papers. The
one DIR. Kalteyer has in operation
was made in this city by Messrs.
Schnetts & White, Timers. near
Main street bridge, and cost about
two hundred and fifty dollars, in
Guiding all the pipes, burners, &c.
By experiments made by young
Geo. Kalteyer he learned that one
of these burners will make as much
light as eleven good sperm candles.
The cost Of six or seven lights
burning from seven o'clock until
eleven was found TO be about twen-
ty-fve cents. The light is unusually
brilliant and makes everything
around the Drug Store as light as
IL the sun were shining. A person
can look at one Of these lights for
several minutes without having his
eyes dazzled or injured in the least
we know this 10 be so.

The Judicial Election.

The election in this county has indis-
putably resulted in the election of ROB
ERr WILSON, Democrat, Of DodgevilIe, to
the office of County Judge, over Capt
JoHN I. JoNFs, OF Miffiin, the Repub-
lican candidate This result in a county
capable OF giving 500 Republican major
ity,will undoubtedly surprise many, but
when it is known that Dodgevile, that
ought to have go majority for CAPT.
JOKES, gave Mr. WILSON - majority
the cause of CAPT. JOKES defeat is easi-
ly accounted for. The Republicans of
Dodgeyil went against Mr.. JONES solely
for the reason that he resided in the
Southern Assembly District
This is not the first time a similar
course has been pursued in that place.
As there Is point at which forbearance
ceases to be a virtue, we fear that our
Dodgeville neishbors will some day re-
alize that there is hereafter. We shall
probably allude to this subject in the
future. Below we give the vote as far as
received at the time of going to press.
The vote for Chief Justice is very in

Caunty Bonds.

Every taxpayer in Iowa county is in
the holders Of the railroad bonds and the
country, which has so long been matter
of litigation. A recent descision by the
Supreme Court in the case of the bond
holders of the city of Reloit, has been
given. and as that case is nearly {. par
allel one with our county, and the towns
that issued bonds for the construction of
the Mineral Point Railroad, it will we
have no doubt, be read by citizens of
this county with interest In that case
the court decided:
Ist That the Bonds are valid
ID That the Bond holders are entitled
to mdndGmus against the town clerk
where there are no legal supervisors up d.
on whom 10 serve it
Sd That although the Bonds were is
sued by the TOW n before the city was in
corporated, the holders may bring suit
against the city to ascertain the amount
for which it is liable
In one of the cases from the state of
Iowa, the Supreme Court | as recently
decided that the Circuit Court of the
United States may direct the marshal to
levy the tax il the Supervisors or other
local authorities neglect or refuse to do
We have long been of the opinion that
the Iowa County Bonds, as well as the
Town Bonds issued to the railroad COM
pany would eventually have to be paid,
and that the thousands Of dollars paid
to lawyers to stave off the evil day, was
only adding to the aggregate amount and
lessening the chances for amicable COM
promise The decisions above alluded to
only serve to confirm us in that belief
Whether justly or unjustly obtained, or
however far short of fulfilling its agrees
ments the railroad company may have
sanctioned by the highest tribunal in the
land, and we look upon their ultimate
collection as beyond doubt Whether
the day for an honorable compromise has
gone by or not remains to be seen We
long since advised that course, and we
now believe that if one-half the money
paid TO lawyers to Gtigate the matter had
been expended in an effort to effect a
compromise the county would be many
thousand dollars better of to-day than it
Is, or is like to be for years to come.

Tenure-0.-0filee Aet.s

III Q tenure-of- Office act appears to have
become one of the most troublesome ones
before Congress. The House of Repre-
sentatives, with few dissenting votes some
time since, passed bill repeating it en-
tirely. The Senate refused to concur in
in the passage of The House bill, and
pitched up new one suspending the
operations of the act for the PRESENT
With this the House refused to concur
and Conference committee was the re,
suit That committee succeeded in pro-
dneing bill which appeared acceptable
TO the House and Senate, and was passed
by each and sent to the President, where
our dispatches up TO this writing -Mon-
day-leaye it, with report that it had
been somewhat changed by the Senate
from its wording rs passed by the House,
and it WAS rropable that it would be re-
called for correction. Should the Presi-
dent sign the bill before him, however,
before reca led it will become a law and
Congress relieved of any farther action
IN the matter. We presume if the bill
is recalled it VIII at once be corrected
and then signed by the President, as it
Is understood he favors the maia features
OF the bill

Serious accusation Against Andrew johnson.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times makes the following
accusation against Andrew johnson:
''1'he late President always boosted of
his integrity and his honesty, and in his
farewell address pompously proclaimed
that no one could charge him with corr
ruption, or of having received cent
which did not rightfuily belong to him
1t has been discovered since he left the
White House that he carried away with
him all the books of record belonging
to the government amounting In value
to upward of three thousand dollars
These books were mostly heavily bound,
costing from thirty to ninety dollars each,
and were paid for with the public money,
and he had no more right tn take them
than he would have to carry off the fur
niture, paintings and statu;lry from the
White House These books comprise
all the records of civil, military and di-
plomatie business which transpired du-
ring his term and that of Mr. Lincoln
Before Mr. Lincoln came into his Office
no such records were kept at the White
House BY former Presidents Lincoln
commenced the practice, and at his death
all the records remained at the White
House. and came inso possession of his
successor, The clerks who kept these
books were attached to the Treasury De
partment, detailed for duty at the White
House Ii IS probable that Congress will
order an investigation. aad if it can be
done, compel the retiring President to
disgorge, \ person connected with the
" hite House, knowing that the books
were being boxed up to be removed, en-
deavored TO have them stopped, and ap-
piled to magistrate for a warrant
but as he had no title in the property,
and it was scarcely believed that Johnson
intended to carry of the public property,
nothing was done TO prevent 1t.
