Pay OF our Next County Administrator.

The last Legislature made sweeping altera-
ton in the pay of county and township officials
In some respects it was greatly y-needed reform, !,
but like any general law upon tha: subject that
can be framed, is unjust to some portions of the
State. We give our readers this week the COM
pensation to be received by the next county ad-
ministrations: Supervisors, for oil services re-
quired of them by law or by virtue Of their Of
flee, will be paid twenty cents per mile from
their residence to the courthouse and Eve dol
lars per day, but such per diem not to exceed
two hundred dollars in one year. The Assessor
will receive such compensation, not exceeding
six dollars per diem, as the Board of Supervisors
shall determine, not to exceed, however, in any
one year, the sum of eight hundred dollars The
salary Of the County Superintendent of Public
Instruction is Gxed BY the Board of Supervisors,
and he is to be allowed his reasonable expenses.
but his compensation is not to be less than
twenty dollars for each school district, besides
fifty cents for each district for postage.
The District Attorney is to receive for all
services required of him by law or by vir-
tue Of his Office, salary of FIVE hundred dol
lars per annum, and for other services greatly
reduced fees. Our next County Judge will be
paid an annual salary of one thousand dollars
The compensation of the Sheriff will consist, to
include tho pay of deputies and aler, of the fees
commissions and preceptage allowed by the act
of March 2sth, 1868, not to exceed. in addition
to mileage, the sum of thirty eight hundred dol
lars. The Treasurer will receive six hundred
dollars per year, and the pay of the Clerk is
rated at twenty-fi se hundred dollars, to include
all services reAdered ez-o6ieio. All officers al
lowed to collect fees are required to pay the
same into the county treasury upon the first
Mondcy of every month, aud the fees SO paid in
are to constitute salary fund. Officers are to
receive their pay ont of the salary fund, unless
it be exhausted, and ip that case, from the
general fund. Township officers for this
county will receive ridiculouSly low fees.

Ing the last-mentioned report. Amid all these

will be all the better for the settlement Of the great
question which has SO agitated every business man.
The speculation Of 1869 has received check which
will divert mems money and minds TO more ieSti
mate subjects for Investment.
The money market was extremely stringent, as
might have been expected, and rates ranged from
per cent per annum, In gold, to one per cent
per day. In the high-priced stocks there was fire.

and Irregular" better state OF things Ia looked Ior

The stock market was comparatively neglected

meant reversal Of the clique tactics In stocks
The market again went of, however. under the
pressure to sell cash stock in order to get money to

were reported and stock bought under the rule.
The suspensions Of the day were mostly OF houses
