Local SeifGOyer1ment.

In the State Registers report Of the doirgs
Of the Supervisors Convention . week or
Two since at Des Moines, it was said that on
m ntion by one Of the Supervisors of an ez-
cellent board Of Township Trustees at Wav-
cry, Mr.. Supervisor McQuin, Of this count ~
became facetiously complimentary and said
that he ''felt partic ilarly good to know of
one Board of Trustees which understood it's
duties and performed them to the saving of
the peoples money"
Without either endorsing this imputatior
upon 49, twenty boards nf tnwnsi.;o rrns
tees in Benton County, or raising any ques-
tion Of its justice, we take the occasion TO
be the II sa that i, there
an srraignment, whether it does no. indi-
cate radical fault in our system of town.
ship and county government If township
boards are careless and Indifferent to their
duties-as to which fact we have no evil
dence, except that contained in Mr.. Nc
Quin's statelnent--is it not owing to the
fact they have so subordinate part to per-
form in the matters brought under their
charge, and are not held ultimately respon-
sible? In other words, would not COM
piete township organisation, In which the
authorities Of each township should attend
to all thoir local interests. each township
paying its expenses out Of its own treas
ury, tend to more care and economy in
these matters? 1t seems to US there can be
no dorbt Of it and that il there is any
foundation for the imputation that our
township trustees are negligent, or lacking
in economy in the discharge Of their duties,
it grows out Of this imperfcction Of our sys-
tenn. Give us thorough local selt-govern-

ness better done and our taxes reduced.

The recent developments in South

The recent developments in South
Carolina, Georgia, and other South
ern States show pretty conclusively
that Gubernatorial positions in that
section of the country are anything
but einecures. And now comes
Florida to the front with string Of
very damaging accusations against
Governor Reed. 1t embraces an
over-issue OF $52S, 900 OF State bonds;
q fraudulent issue Of $l,000.000 OF
the same bonds; fraudulent issue of
100000 of bonds for q railroad
company; an issue of 81 100000 to
David L. Yulee; conspiracy with
one Littlefield to embezzle; an sctu.
al embezzlement of $40, 900 of public
funds; a conspiracy to defraud the
State of $4,000 substitution of
81, 40 in deprecated State scrip for
the same amount Of Federal curren-
cy, and the acceptance Of bribe OF
10000. In exact figures, these
separate frauds foot up the amount
Of $6,564,14O. Hitherto Florida has
always been considered an admirable
place for invalids to remove to; Just
now it would seem to be an excel
lent place for at least ore moral in
valid to remove from, by the high
court OF impeachment.

In Boone county, Kentucky, there
is family whose singular manner OF
living, and other peculiarities, excite
general interest. The head of the
family is native of Scotland, an ed
ucated man, we'll read. and of fine
conversational powers. He does
nothing for the support OF his family,
and, although they are in an almost
starving condition, is devoting his
time to the study of the Greek Ian
guage. While he is thus engaged
they are living IN miserable hn.
without floor or windows, and witt,
scarcely TODD enough to keep them
from starving. The woman has
neither education nor sense; in fact,
the only thing she has worth speak
ing Of Is fits. She gives the family
what attention it gets, and prepares
the food sent them by neighbors,
while her husband is engaged in his
classical studies. or in prowling
about tbs neighborhood, reading es-
says to his acquaintances. People
suppose that he is crazy, and in the
Spring an effort will be made to pro-
vide in some way tor hum and his
helpless family.

What won't American inventors
do finally? A civil engineer has pc
titioned Congress for aid to enable
him to test his method for producing
artificial rain. To try his exper-
iment, he asks only for 800
cannon and 100000 pounds Of pow
der. He furthermore wants the can
non to be discharged simultaneously
BY electricity. The rain-maker calls
attention to tho fact that heavy
showers have followed great battles,
and he suggests that the government
ought to find out whether the artil-
lery had anything to do with the
rain. In case the experiment is suc.
cessful, we suppose that every well.
to do farmer will invest in 300 can
non, and keep large stock Of pow
der always on hand. And. then, in
dry times, the clerk of the weather
will receive laundering salutes OF ar
tillery.

Cyrus Northrup, Collector If the Port of
New Haven, Conn, is entitled to the honor
so far as We know, Of making the first an
pointment in the customs service under the
new civil service rules. The position OF
Inspector IN the New Haven Custom House
was made vacant by death. A committee
was thereupon selected by the Collector.
and notice was given that persons desiring
the place must pass an examination before
this committee. Thirteen persons--one of
them negro-presented themselves last
Friday afternoon, to each one of whom a
paper was given. containing ten questions,
seven referring to the duties Of an Inspect

Rcpartecs by Thad Stevens.

He was always ready, and his satire
was sharper than bayone:s. The
people of Lancaster never tire of re-
peating his sayings. He tried case
before a judge not celebrated for his
great wisdom. The Judge gave a
luling that dlsgusted Mr.. Stevens, as
his face clearly indicated. ''Does the
Court understand the counsel to ex.
press contempt tor its ruling ?" said
the Judge. "No, may it please your
honor, l was trying to suppress con-
tempt" When the rebels burnt his
iron foundry and property at Gettys-
which they did with relish
Mr.. Stevens remarked: "Had Lee
burnt up ms liabilities at the same

obliged to him." When Kite, of
oouth GA. v';-a, attacked Mr.. Stevens
and told about pious deacon ''s nau
on his plantation, Mr.. Stevens asked
what the price OF deacons was in his
district, and how much more negro
would bring for being a deacon. A
Lutheran minister of Lancaster left
the pulpit and became a Democratic
politician. He met Mr.. Stevens soon
after, and inquired about his health,
receiving as an answer: II am very

above all things keep my conscience

A Remorseless Swindle.

Some years ago--we do not re.
member how mary, but suppose it to
be dozen-there was newspaper
announcement about man who had
lett package Of money at Eari's
Hotel, thcn on Park row, New York.
to be put in the safe for safe keeping.
receiving for it the usual cheek f, ON
the clerk. Upon presenting his check
day or two later, he could not
get his package-the clerk was hor.
rlfied to discover that it was missing.
It happened that check had been
presented, which was an exac, imita.
tion OF the check gwen by the clerk,
and on this bogus check the package
had been, innecently enough, deliv.
cred to the person claiming it. The
deposltor brought suit TO recover
$4,000, the alleged amount of the
deposit left at Mr.. Earles. For years
the matter was in litigation il the
Courts, gong from one tribunal to
another, and keeping Earl "on the
keen jump las Emerson has it. } The
result OF 1t all has been that Earle
had to pay $4,000, and good deal
more besides, in the shape OF interest
money and expenses, amounting in
all to no less q sum than $42,0OO.-
This amount Mr.. E. has paid in cash,
to settle this troublesome job; and
now, having few months since paid
the last installment and ended the /
ugly matter, he received, week ago
(ne was in town day or two ago
and told his old friends of it), a pack
age from Boston enclosing letter.
The package was the identical orig.
inal missing package from the safe
was identified as such-and with it
were papers which have proved be-
yond question that the actual amt
deposited in the hotel safe was not
$4,000, but only $500; and it was
also revealed that the deposition had
a confederate, and that the whole
operation was swindle and rob-
berry. A duplicate check was made
SO like the other that there seemed
to be no difference; and the two
rogues have doubtless divided the

4 Zones and Ceasr Counties.

The two adjoining counties of
Jones and Cedar, in Iowa, by the
census of 1870, show q population
c.ractly alike, zach having 1871
Both are twenty four miles square,
just that and no more. Each has a
river running through its southwest
crn corner, diagonally, from north
west to southeast, the Wapsie in the
one and the Cedar in the other.
Each gave about 800 majority for the
Republican ticket at the last election.
Each has county-scat worth brag-
glng on, Anamosa in Jones, and Tip

the former end.wise in the way OF a

sixty or seventy feet thick. Strange,
