The County Bonds.

Our readers no doubt noticed IN
last weeks issue OF the STAR, the nd
ycrtiscment ofthc County Treasurer
in relation to the county bonds au-
tborized by the Legislature. The
same appears this week, and we
avail ourselves of the time--which
we did not have last week-to IN
form our readers on the subject.
These bonds aro authorized by an
act OF the Legislature, entirely con,
%sistont with the constitution, and to
the manifest advantage oftho people
and county. The bonds bear ten
per cent interest, payable semi,
annually and are exempt from county
and corporation taxes. For the pay
ment OF principal and interest n tax
is required to be levied which will be
but little more than what would be
necessary, after the present year, to
pay for the rents Of court room,
offices, etc, IN case no courthouse be
built. The law only required the
town to furnish n court room till the
end OF the present year, aud the
court room and Offices have been
furnished without expense to the
county, so that tho contract has been
more than fulfilled upon the part of
the town. A courthouse is n neees-
sity. 1t must be built by taxation,
aud the taking OF the bonds by citi-
zens Of the county will distribute the
tax through q series of years and
tighten it to all who pay taxes. This
tax will cheaper the courthouse by
enabling the county to build it for
cash and not on q credit. We mag
inc that it Is hardly necessary to say
Il word as to the ~safoness OF these
us we do not suppose any Que
at all acquainted with the character
aud condition OF our county can
that better securities never
We're, or could be offered.
We especially direct the attention
Of guardians TO them as q safe, sure
and payiug investment for tho money
of their wards, and we have every
reason to believe that any investment
in these bonds made by a guardian
will be approved and sanctioned by
the Chaucery Court. Indeed, we
learn that the Chancellor has ex-
pressed himself to at least one
in the county, favorable to
such investments, and we may
frankly shy we cannot c how he
could do otherwise.
There IL certainly a sufficient
amount of money Ia the county to
take up all the issue, and We hope
it viii Ill be taken among our own
people, BESIDES boiug a good in
yestment, il must be taken up in
order to avoid the necessity for Il
tax to build a courthouse
The bonds will bear Interest from
the first Of July next, and we know
of one philosophical party who pros
poses I, take one>ftth of the amount
required.
Win not our countymon, and
especially our Sardis friends, bcstir
themselves aHd make up the whole
here at homer The ADVERTISE
ment will show the denominations of
the bonds.
Come, gentlemen, walk up to tho
and let us have q new court
by winter.

lUuS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS vs.. AlHtS.
On Monday last a sharp colloquy
enlivened the United States Senate
chamber between the two individuals
representing this State in the Sem
ate.
Alcorn opened on Ames by
charging him with being a non.resi-
dert of the State be represented, and
a eharp discussion ensued, in which
Aloorn pleaded most earnestly
against any further suspension of
the writ OF hobcas corpus, and OPP
posed the passage Of the civil rights
bill and the necessity for a Kuklux
bill; while Ames, with his accns.
toned venom against the South,
villified the true state of facts and
urged the passage Of the civil rights
bill and claimed the necessity for
the Kuklux bill. Alcorn showed
,omc honesty and fairness to the
Of this State, while Anes, as
heretofore, proved himself au in
villi6er and deadly enemy to
hem.

Notwithstanding the order to prevent collision between the troops and sava- ges, General Crook still believes that the military establishment in Arizona can and must be of some service to the people who earn their own living, obey the laws, establish free schools, and pay their taxes, as witness the following Circular issued by him on March 27. We emit date, address and signatures, but otherwise the document is complete:

reaching over to recover them, lost his balance

was unable TO recover himself and sank and was
drowned. EnOch Davis discovered the where
