LouIsviLLs, Mo. Dec. Is, 1869.
Editor Herald: desire to say 10 The
taxpayers Of Lincoln county, through
the medium Of your paper, that there is
an understanding with majority Of the
members Of the County Courtto have the
receipts sud expenditures published, which
will be done at the next meeting Of the
Court, to be held on the 10th day Of
January; OF, at least, an order to that Of.
feet will be made. And I will say for the
information Of John X. Knox, that the
Court is alone responsible for the non
publication Of the receipts and expendi-
lures, and not F. G. Cake. I have'ever
been willing to have this whole financial
question fully investigated. know as
we'll as Mr.. Knox, that there has been
bad 6nancioring; in fact there is great
deal Of truth in what he says; but who
looked for Knox to come out.in behalf Of
the tax payersP Does any one believe
be acts from principse2 I may mistake
bis motive-hope I do; but If Mr. Knox
is iu earnest in wanting the burden of
taxation removed from the peoples shoul.
ders, let lin assist our assessor in having
correct and full assessment lists from
some large money holders 10 our county;
let him BY act and deed show the
taxpayer, that he is on their side in
earnest, and, doubt not, the people Of
Lincoln county will, at no distant day
yes, as early as next Novcmber-ac.
knowledge him as their great bcnufac.or
aud financial deliverer, and will reward
him accordingly.

near MiTlwood. Sometime since he was
working with two mules affected with
glanders, aud one Of them reared up
throwing ssme o. the poisonous matter
upon him. A short time after this his
lungs became atfec ted, and he expressed
the belief that he had the glandcrs; the
doctor attending him, however. treated
him for pneumonia. A lew days before
his death yellowish matter commenced
running from his nose, which convinced
his attending physician Of the truth of
Mr. Hiler's opinion. This should be a
