largest amount of nOtoriety on the
smallest capital of brains that has
been known in this country since the
palmy days of Weston, the Gorilla,
and the Fat Woman. These are
chronic atiiictions that we have to put
up with. SO Dent must have his
little day. He is fool, to be sure,
and q hunbug, and just so much Of
a scoundrel as he has capacity for.
One is disgusted with him, and would
prefer to let him severely alone to
his native WorthlcSsnesS and proper
obscurity. But gnats and green flies
are bad in summer, and this Dent,
this summers iniliction, must be
brushed away. Newspaper pens

Dent, the accident of relationship TO

and having punctured himself he
must soon collapse. Here is what Il
correspondent of the Chicago JOura0i
says Of him:
The Republicans Of Mississippi

show that he offered to sell his inilu-
ence with the Administration in the
procurement of position and SO forth.

Of prominent revenue officials IN

der the late Administration, and who
imagine that, by securing his servi-
ces, they will be able to remain in
office. | can publish much more on
! this subject, giving names and dates,
| but | withhold it for another letter.
President Grant knows nothing about
this. but il is time that it should he
brought to his knowledge. Judge
Louis Dent is at the present tina"
/ traificking on his relationship with
the President, and making more
money out Of it than he we'll knows
how to spend. His charges against
Mr.. Boutwell, are pucriIc. AS it is
in the Treasury that Mr.. Dent prln-
cirally operates, it is not improbable
that Mr.. Boutwell, has thwarted some
of bis schemes. Mr.. Dent should be
denied access to the Departments.
| A President who values the purity
| of his Administration so much and so
! highly as General Grant does, cannot
and will not tolerate this man around
the White House. He has been
snubIel repeatedly, but snubbing
will not do. Some stronger measures

SOME ONIONS. MIR. Hamilton Ram.
bo, of Knoxville, tells us that on 9
piece of ground one rod wide and eight
rods long he raised this year thirty
bushels of onions, from the sets, be-
sides using about what grew on one
rod during the Summer. We should
think q yield at the rate Of ESQ bushels
to the acre was doing pretty well; and
the onions, as per sample brought US,
were very fine.

may be. But there are plenty of Re-
publican journals which have not
hesitated to find fault with the Pres
ident and other Government officials
whenever they can see any occasion.
Why haven't they done it on this
topic, if there is any wrong involved?
One cannot learn the real and full
facts from such partial statements as
we have seen.

a tremendous concourse of people
gathered on the banks of the Thames
near London last Friday, to witness

The Eent Movement kEan-
GDited.

The latest Mississippi news is that
the Dent movement has been aban-
doned. The reason assigned is, that
the recent unqualified rejection ofthe
Dent movement by the President,
and the probability thatthe Radicals
will receive the support OF the Adj
ministration. have stripped the Con.
servatives of all their anticipated
power, and they now propose to
assume their old party lines Of Dem
ocracy and Republicanism. -Ha,ck-

Well, Mr.. argus, your exchange

ours; and we have seen several Re-
publican papers in this State, besides
our own, which have expressed their
views plainly on the question-to
the end that they favor standing to
the present laws, but not enacting
new and difrerant ones. Isn't that
clear and plain enough, even to your
hundred eyes, Mr.. Argus, if you will
but open them?

NGfes on Various Matters.

A correspondent of the G0te CITY,
groaning under the onerOus taxation
of Lee County, proposes SeNeral
changes in the State Laws, as means
of lessening expenses, as folloWs:-l.
Abolish the County Supervisors sys-
tenn, and substitute the One-man sys-
tenn. .. Abolish the Office Of County
Superintendent Of Schools. 3. DO
away with the taking Of written evil
dence on criminal cases before Justices
of the Peace. 4. Reduce fees in Il
multitude Of cases. We can't endorse
these views entirely. The County
Supervisor system, Judging from
what people generally seem to think
Of it, has not long to live; but we
don't like too much one-man power.
Some arrangement of the CommiS-
sioner system may prove the best
here, as in older States. AS to the
County Superintendency, we would
incline to an opposite vieW-increase
the pay and importance of the office
until reasonably well qualified men
might accept it and live from it.
Perhaps the best plan Of doing this
would be by allowing only one Su-
perintendent to each Judicial Dis
trict. AS to the other two proposed
changes, can't form positive opin-
ion yet, for lack of more general in
formation about the subjects; but
think we see at least some objections
to them. .w
