TRY 1T AGAIr.

We beg the Times pardon for troubling it
to explain. But, really, it is nearly as wide
Of the mark as the Picayanae about the tax
list. Last year, the law required publica-
ton for thirty consecutive times. This,
of course, made the cost to each delin-
quent taxpayer for advertising amount to
three dollars. A Republican Legislature,
however, and Republican Governor,
thought three publications would be sufi-
cient, and so ordered at the session, last
winter. The REPUBLICAN merely obeyed
the law in each case, as we always expect
to do. Besides, we generally know what
the law is, and always give our readers
correct information on that, as well as
other subjects. If our respectable con-
temporaries had observed this rule, they
would not have got into such middle
about the tax list. r

PROMPT ExEcur1vE ACTION,

The prompt and efectual manner in
which Governor Warmeth met, the high
handed and corrupt practices of Auditor
Wicklife should have been warning to
other State officials disposed to follow in
his footsteps. 1t is true, the Governor
gave him 'srope enough" to obtain good
grounds of action before proceeding
against him; but when the proper time
arrived, he was prompt and efficient in
adopting measures to put stop to the in
roads that the Auditor was making upon
executive functions. and the public treas
ury. But in giving him 'trope, the Gov
ernor had inspired the. INSCRIPTIONS
Auditor with a boldness that led him to
defy and deny all executive authority that
conficted with his own will. The Gov
'ernor, in the eye Of the grasping Auditor,
had no power to check INSTRUMENTATION
and corruption. He was q mere. figure
head, to be kicked around by subordinates.
This must have been the idea of Wickliffe
when he attempted, in defiance of the Gov
ernor, to force his way into the Mechanics
Institute. and take possession of quar-
tiers foranH office that had been assigned
for the use Of another branch of govern
ment. This unlawful action Of Mr.. Wick
life aroused the Governor, and he was
not long, when his attention became once
fixed upon the many villainies of the man,
IN bringing him to justice. The result Of
Auditor Wicklife's impeachment, trial
and removal from Office should have had
o wholesome effect. 1t should have been
a good lesson and warning to all officials
disposed to act like him. But we are
convinced it has not proved salutary
lesson to Mr. Bovee. He has, in the Ian
guage Of the Governor, knowingly, will
fully, unlawfully and with the purpose of
imposing upon the people Of the State as
law that which he knows has not become.
q law, committed q double ofense. He
has, in his official capacity, attemptedsto
base fraud upon the people
and boldly violated the constitution and
laws Of the State. For these acts the
Governor has issued his order suspending
Mr.. Bovee from the effce of Sec
rotary of State; and when the
Legislature meets, he will no doubt
cause articles of impeachment to
DO preferred against him, as was done
n the case of Auditor Wicklife, and with
ike result The Governors manner will
be just as prompt and efficient in the case
# a bad Secretary of State as it was with
bad Auditor, and he will be sustained +
y the Legislature and public opinion in
lis efforts for the public good. Mr.. b.
'ee's attempt to resist the consequences y
# his unlawful conduct viii prove futile,
nd his notice to the public to the effect
hat persons having business with the
of State will find him (Mr.
:ovee) at the Mechanics Institute during
flee hours, READY to attend to the duties
the Office, is simply ridiculous. His l
ficial career has certainly ended for the I
resent, and when the Legislature meets,
. will be strange if it is not, by his own !
onduct, brought forever to an ignomin-
JUS close. z se4i -t--sf c

any that we have used. Its simplicity,
small effort required to operate, and the great
strength and elasticity of its seam, are qualities
we have never found equaled in any other Since
the introduction of your Sewing Machine into our
Asylum, it has always been the favorite with our
children, and often source of much contention
among them, as to who should have the privilege
of its use. .11 ....d.. .t.-s.a...t
During the past two years we have had five of
your Sewing Machines in constant use, and large
quantities of work of every description for fami-
lies has been done on them. We have never had
any complaint from those for whom the work has
been done, but, on the contrary, much praise for
the beauty and perfection of the machine stitching
We most earnestly hope that you will accept our
proposition to exchange and favor US by sending
your machines at the earliest opportunity.
