Mr.. Wallace asked of what the 'vault" ac-
count of Maya, 1869, consisted?
Mr.. Mackey replied that il was his predeces-
sor's vault account, consisting of cash items in
bank and of checks.
Mr.. Mackey, in. answer to further questions,
acknowledged that his account had been in
creased and decreased as above stated. There
had been no loss to the treasury in any of the
items. The "vault account" had sometimes
been increased by sight checks that he had
carried from time to time to oblige corporations.
Every dollar of 1t was payable at sight. This
was not an unusual thing in bank accounts.
Sometimes these corporations as friends would
ask the Treasurer to accommodate them and
send their checks to settle the accounts They
were accepted in monthly payments as cash.
This was virtually giving them extra time to
pay, but he felt 1t was just as safe as any bank
in which he deposited it. 1t was the custom of
former TreaSurers to do this thing. The
corporations paid by vouchers. He had never
received vouchers as Uduu account but kept
separate accounts. The checks were just sight
checks on banks, which were held in the vault
and counted as cash. he was told that he
could get the money at any time. He had never
satisfied himself that deposits had been made in
banks on which the checks were drawn, but
they had always been paid when called for.
The understanding was that the checks
would not be presented until he needed
them. The custom had existed for years.
Y. BY Mr.; Biilingtelt. Does not the principal
Not any more evil in that than by letting money
lie in bank. By putting in bank you accommo-
date the bank. By holding you accommodate
the persons who are paying the taxes to the
State. hA
@. By Mr.. Billingfelt. Does it often happen
that papers are deposited in the vault where
there is in reality no special security? A. !
suppose that does often happen.

Water for Horses.

THE quantity of water which will be
imbibed by horses varies even more than
that of their solid food, yet ignorant
grooms are too apt to give all alike. The
most.strenuous advocate for the continu-
ous supply would doubtless make an ex.
csption at those times when horses are
just about a. severely galloped, as in
bunting or racing; and on the other
hand, almost all grooms who know their
business allow their charge TO fill them
selves at night, and also give them lib
eral allowance when they have done their
work and are dressed and cooled down af
ter 1t, have found in my own stable, In
measuring the actual quantity of water
drunk by the horses, that even among
those which are doing the same amount OF
work and eating similar food in quantity
and quality, the water will vary from two
buckets day to nearly five. II salt is
given, 1t win produce considerable thirst
at first, but after tins this effect ceases,
and have not found 1t in the long run
make much difference. Green food will
also make less alteration in the desire for
water than might be expected, which
may be accounted for by the fact that 1t
increases the secretions Of urine and per-
spiration, and also acts gently on the
bowels; so that, though more fluid is
taken into the system with the green
food, yet proportionably large quantity
passes off. 1t is, however, necessary TO
be cautious in the allowance of water To
horses which have just begun to eat grass,
for if given in the usual quantity on the
stomach full of green food, it will very
probably bring on an attack of collie AS
rule, no horse should go to any moder
ately fast work with more than half 8
bucket of water in him, and that should
have been swallowed at least an hour

they set out to buy hru, fail to look be.
yond their wishes in the matter, TO consid.

q man who has money enough To purchase

In a settled, prosperous region, will buy
tract of six or seven hundred acres Of wild
land, remote from cities and facilities for

belief that his energy and skin win make

utterly impossible TO work satisfactorily

False Prophecies.

A RAD cause relies greatly on false
prophecy for support. Predictions draw
only ON the imagination, and can be man
utacturcd to suit the interest or fancy Of
the inventor. They suit admirably to
rouse the fears and afilict the sensibililles
OF the ignorant and the timid. We like
and predictions Of the advocates Of slave
ry, made during the twenty years pre-.
ceding the abolition of slavery, IL was
predicted by learned Senators on the floor
of Congress, who then were looked up TO
as oracIes, whose utterance il was pro.
sumption and sin 20 dispute, that when
slavery should be abolished the commerce
OF Northern cities would be ruined, the
grass would soon grow upon their
streets, and their once magnificent Struc-
lures would each, like "pile without in.
habltant, 10 ruin run" II was said that
q war between the North aud South would
certainly end In the ruin of Northern
cities This dismal foreboding was abso.
lutely believed, not only by the vulgar
and uniformed, but by men of wealth
and wisdom. With the war period com
menced the real growth Of the Northern
cities Population and wealth were never
gathered into cities and towns SO rapidly
before. The Northern cities have gained
more wealth since the day the rebels tired
upon Fort Sumter than now exists In
the eleven revolted States
II was also declared that when the
chains should fall from the limbs of the
negro, he would start the next hour for
the Northern States. This was terrible

70 the vulgar prejudice which slavery had
brought into being, namely, dislike and
contempt for the eDslaved race. The re-
suit has been an emigration, not north.
ward, but southwark. Instead Of coming
from Kentucky and Virginia 70 Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio, they 20 southward TO
Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia. Instead
OF cr0wding into Northern cities ne idlers
and cut-throats we see them scattering
over the broad lands Of the South In Quest
Of honest and productive labor.
Shareholders were fond of eaying that
Cotton was King, not only over the South,
but over AL the commerca of the world
that without slavery there could be no
cotton, and that when that system should
fall, the commerce III the country would
perish with It. Here, too, the prophecy
and facts are widely At variance. During
the year 1869 there were produced in the
Southern States three millions of bales of
cotton without the labor OF single slave
The beautiful crop still whitens the sunny
fields OF the South, unstained by the
blood OF the slave, and uncursed by the
maledictions Of the oppressed. That crop
still contributes to the comfert and wealth
of the civilized world. The derisive laugh
OF the world win yot be heard over the
comparison which Il win make of the
oroaking prophesies Of pro slavery services
In 1859 and the reported facts and figures
of .he year 1869.
This subject could be illustrated at
greater length, but we forbear for the
present. The teaching of these facts is,
that falsehood deals largely in prophecy
after It's own sort. Doleful predictions of
disaster following on the heels of any
act or course of Justice, benevolence, or
right doing, are not worthy of mo.
ment's attention or regard. Human his
tory is one long, earnest falsi6cation and
denial Of al such malignant and deceitful
prophecies. In politics, and in every day
life, Truth Ia a safe guide. Justice ends in
prosperity, and not in ruin.
In contrast with the croakers who per
vert justice and truth, tho words of the
truth.inspircd prophets give now strength
and hope TO all who seek the triumph of
right. They see, through all the clouds
Of encouragement, the bright ending of
the struggle in victory. But for them the
hearts Of the brave army of freedom
would have failed over and over again.
Their prophecies are all fulfilled IN the
record which history makes with her
truthful and unerring pen.--- Toledo Blade.
