sure by every admfrer of that great and
good man, StOnewall Jackson. After
describing her visit to the church of st.
Maria di Ava Coeli, Miss Brook writes as
follows:
From the church continued my walk
towards the palace of Cesar, and as !
stood attempting to read an inscription on
the arch of Septimus Severus an incident
occurred which l think well worth relat-

feeling of pride in my heart which must
have been akin to that which many a
Roman woman experienced at mention of
certain names that give a brighter glory
to Rome.
Wishing some information Yentured a
question to friendly priest who passed
me. at that moment a French soldier,
IN the uniform of the Pontificial Zouaves,
approached, and politely lifted his hat.
When the priest had given me answer, he
said: +.

in extending him my hand and expressing

The priest stood in establishment, not
understanding the remarkable demonstra-

a shade of the deepest sadness settled
over his cOuntenance, and he touched his
hat and passed ON.

they won't have il; if the type is too large,
it don't contain enough reading matter; if
the type is too small, they can't read it;
if we publish telegraph reports, folks say
they are nothing but lies; il We omit
them, they say we have no enterprise, OF
suppress them for political effect; if VIC
have in few jokes, people say we arc
nothing but rattlehead; if VIC omit
jokes, they say we are an old fossil;
if we publish original matter, they damn
us for not giving them original selections;
if we publish original selections, folks
say we are lazy for not giving them what
they have not read in some other paper;
If we give man complimentary notices,
we are censured for being partial; if we
do not, all hands say we are great hog;
if we insert an article which plcaScs the
ladies, men become jealous; if we do not
cater to their wishes, the paper is not fit
TO be in their houses; if we attend church,
they say it is only for effect; if we do not,
they denOunce us us deceitful and dcsper-
ately wicked; if we speak well of any act,
folks say that we dare not Go otherwise;
if we censure, they call us traitor; if we
remain in our office and attend to bust

Our Democratic exchanges have
had but little to say Of the d~efalcation
Of GEORGE w. MoCAFFERTY, Treas
urer of Daviess County. The Wash
ington Gazette fixes the amount Of de-
falcation at $4,000. That paper says:
The truth Of the whole matter is as
follows: Some weeks ago county
orders were presented for payment
and the holders were informed that
there was no money in the Treasury.
This o~ccasIoned some surprise, as it
was known that there ought to be an
abundance on hand. The securities,
hearing how matters stood, made an
investigation, the result of which was
Tic discovery of a deficiency of some
thing over $13, 600. This amount has
disappeared somehow, and is IN no
way accounted for.
As to the statement that the county
can in no event be the loser it is only
necessary to say that, By the default
OF the Treasurer the county will have
to pay interest on county orders which
1t would not had to pay If on pre-
sentiment they had been eashed. 1t
was the duty of the Treasurer, If a
sufficient amount had been paid in, to
have it at hand and make prompt
payment of orders as they were pre-
sented. This he has not done. Ii
was his duty at all times to be prepar-
cd to account for all moneys entrusted
to his care. This it seems he cannot
do. This is sufficient to Eli the bill
Of q defaulter whether any defalca'
ton has been declared or not.
1t is no new thing in our country to
have Democratic defaulters, and Mr..
McCaferty may congratulate himself
that he is only following in the foot
steps of illustrious predecessors.
