The Board Of County Commission
ers sit four times year. and there Is
q growing necessity for publishing the
proceedings Of the Boards Of County
commissioners. Most Of the time is
consumed 10 considering and allowing

then. besides, he is not paid for his

We coincide with the Boonville
Enquirer, and would propose some
thing like this: Mako law requiring
the County Auditor, within reason
able time from the adjournment Of
the board, to make out q certified
copy of the proceedings of the Com
missioners, and publish them in one
or more papers in the County, the

NE are not surprised that the Re-
publican press Of the country very gem
orally condemn the course Of Senator
Sumner onsthe San Domingo resoIu-
tons, especially his personal -ult
on the President, as causeles 1uun-
diguifed IN the extreme. 10 oppose
the resolutions was his right, but it is
held to be inexcusabIe to go out of
his way to sssail the President for
zealously supporting a meaeure he be
ieved was Rise. Its extensively be-
lie7ed that it is not SO much the San
Domingo question as other matters
the recall of Mr.. Motley-tBat has led
to this exhibition Of temper on the
part OF the Massachusetts, Senator,
the resolutions in question being only
the occasion for It's manifestation.
Oonfrmstory Of this opinion is the
known fact that Senator Sumner used
ell his knowledge Of presidents and
all his el0quenee, to crowd through
the Senate Mr.. Stewards treaty for the
purchase OF Alaska. There is not an
intelligent voter IN the land that does
not know that the possession of San
Domingo By this country is far more
desirable than Alaska. Indeed, the
latter Is Of no use whatever now, and
Is neveF likely to be. while Can Do
miugo may in time become an absolute
necessity TO this country. We are OPP
posed 70 the annexation of the Island

in which the question of annexation

No MAN, however great he may be,
however powerful may be his own
claims to the confidence and affection
of the country, is great enough to do
serious harm to an Administration

is therefore deeply to be regretted
that Mr. Sumner. in declaring his
well known objections % the acquisi-

We find the following article in the
last ShaWneetown Mercurgj:
The Evansville JOURNAL, after the
lapse Of ti5O 10eeks. replies to our
article correcting its statement with
reference TO the true status Of the
Springfield and Illinois Southeastern
and st. Louis and Southeastern Rail-
RaTs, by saying:
SIT VIII be just as natural for the pro-
duc6 OF Central Illinois to seek the largest
commercial point on the Lower Ohio for
sale or re-shipments as 1t is for water to
run down hilL The same Will prove true

however, have made up their minds that
the NEUnnaUAte branch as the Mercury
terms IL, shall do the bulk Of the business
on the road"
Now, we call this begging the ques-
tion. Our remarks we're not intended
IN prejudiced sense to Evansville,
but merely stated the fact that both
of these roads were chartered and part
On foot before the EcansUiIe DiUiSioR
Of the road tCds thought of. As for
EEansViile doing the bulk of the bust
ness on the road we think that a very
doubtful question. That city has a
II mt to expect a fair share of trade
for the reason that she has given
liberally fnr the construction of the
road; and 1t is right that she should
have it; but it is selishness in the
JOURNAL to want to claim the termi-
nus o. both roads and all of their
busine IS. But there is one little mat
ter the Journal is mistaken about;
and tt at is as to the shipment of the
preface of Southern Illinois asp the
river in order to get it re-shipped
dozen the river. ShaWneetoWn is
serenity tl10 miles nearer the Southern
market than Evansville, and with
railroad facilities equal If not better,
Is is not an eztraVagant notion to be-
lave that We will compete strongly
with Evansville for the shipping bust
ness. What say yous neigbbor?
We have no disposition to prolong
a controversy with our Mercurial
friend, which can only be decided by
time. The Mercury thinks il is sell
fshness on our part to want to claim
the terminus Of both roads and all
their business. Why. we generously
conceded that SbaWneetoWn was the
terminus Of all the roads. and that
Evansville was on the branches. 1t
is true, We did express the belief that
the branches, so-called. would do the
bulk Of the business. We may be
mistaken in this, but do not yet see
wherein. We are Of the opinion that
ShaWneetoWn is no nearer the south
err market now than In former times.
We remember, also. very distinctly,
that the freight out of the Wabash
for many years has been brought to
Evansville for re-shipment to
q southern market. We sup
posed the same law Of trade

WASHINGTON, December 27.-Dr.
Stillman Spooner, of Oneida, N. Y,
homeopathic surgeon, has been struck
from the list of examining pension
surgeons by Commissioner Van Aar-
man. on the ground that all the ex-
aiming surgeons of the Bureau
should belong to one school aud
adopt but one theory of medicine, and
he did not belong to the school of
medicine recognized by the Bureau.
Or. Spooner protests in a long letter
to the commissioner against the insult
thus offered to large and influential
body of homeopathic practitioners in
New York.
That Commissioner name should
certainly be written Jack ass. man.
