JL' EdtOr:-An old maxim SAYS,
1.-The more you aSitate corruption the
more aromatic it becomes" well, we all
believe it true, and therefore if you per-
NIT me to dip my oar this once, | will
agree to drop the agitation until it set
ties
For Mr.. Shearer / entertain only feel
ingS of respect, and therefore desire in
grateful memory for his many acts of
kindness towards myself, to say that in
my remarks about certain claims, l
referred only to the Committee on
Claims. Since then several Supervisors
have spoken to me and condemned the
action Of the Committee. My contract
was with county officer whose right
to make such contract they approved
by allowing a portion of my claim, and
in justice to some who have spoken to
me, desire to say that always knew
they would not knowingly countenance
such an act Of reputation.
So much for the facts. but now for Mr..
Shearer's logic. He calls me impcrti
nent and saucy, for simply demanding
that which is justly due. Will you
please look over his letter again and see
if your typos have not got it mixed?
Does he not say, He thinks the commit
tee were impertinent and saucy when
they acted so imperiously upon matter
which had been settled by fair con-
tract with a competent officer?
AS to calling the Board pro bono
pubiico," did not and | will not; and
do not see why you editors, who can get
at the ears of the whole State, do not
join in a move for districting the coun-
ties, and have a Supervisor for each dis
trict composed of three or four town.
ships; it will reduce the bulk and expe
dite matters Ton the principle that Large
bodies move slowly'l. 1t is hard to be.
lieve that each township has peculiar
local interest that can only he protected
by Supervisor from that township; it
is equally hard to believe that we can
not find men capable of representing
the interests Of two or more townships;
and it is equally certain that there would
be less plausibilty to the excuse we
often hear, 1--WE did not hear anything
about it, We were doing something else"
Ifthe same amount of labor be distribu
ted among lesser number Of men, it is
certain that each man will know more
of the doings of the whole, than can he
expected under the present cumbrous
and complicated system. Donot under
stand me to advocate one or three man
power, but that firmly believe six or
eight good men would do the necessary
amount of labor, and do it better, more
satisfactorily and more economically
than sixteen or seventeen. The fact is,
the sixteen or seventeen are ruled by
the half. dozen, and the other ten or
eleven are not much needed-only for
show.
Yours truly, A. p. GILBERT.

MISsouRI-Some of the State officers
of Missouri have got themselves into a
rather unpleasant pickle. 4 few days
ago they caused it to he conspicuously
published in the n. y. Ereniny Post
that the bonds Of Missouri would be
paid principal and interest hereafter in
gold-the interest being due in July and
January. The bonds immediately went
up eight or ten per cent, aud somebody
made a nice speculation. The truth is
the State has not the gold to pay with
ami would not pay insgold if she had. -
So the bonds are down again q the
State officers, are called upon to explain
their curious, not to say disreputable
conduct in the affair.

been sent around to attack from the other side.
The reds were camped in sort of valley, and we

much confused. and not knowing what was up., At
length they rallied, and could hear Black Kettle
shouting and ordering. The yermin got into holes
and behind rocks-anywhere they could find place
and began to fight back with will. We fired when

Gettysburg.

The principal feature in the celebration at Gettys-
burg the 4th of July will be the dedicaton of the
monument which is to mark the battle ground of
1853, where the vast army under the Rebel General
Lee was overthrown and driven back across the Po-
tomac in rout and dsmay. 1t is proper that the an
nversary of that battle; momentous to the nation,
should annually be observed and trust that each
coming year will witness increased interest in its cell
sbration. Oliver P. Morton, OF the staunchest
patriots and most eloquent of public speakers,
will deliver the Grafton, and the poet, traveller and
novelist, Bayard Taylor, will read original ode,
written for the occasion. Large numbers of the
Boys in Blue who fought on those ever memorable
days in the first week of July, 1858, will more
visit the of their heroic deeds and take part in
the exercises.
