To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
great deal has been said and written about
what ought to be done with the extra pay which
the members Of the last Congress voted themselves.
and Treasurer Spinner's letter has been published
in your columns showing how IL could or could not
be covered" into the Treasury. All the people
OF the United States want to be assured OF Is that
the amount Is used for their benefit and not that OF
an individual. To do this enectualy let each Con-
gressman whose conscience tells him that 1t Is
wrong to take and use that money for himself
invest the amount in United States bonds. cancel
them thoroughly, and send them to Treasurer
Spinner with the request that he will ''covern them
well IN the next fire that he has knded to destroy
old notes. That much o., the public debt will never
trouble the people aga.n, thus saving the interest
and commissions which the next syndicate would

August 16 1879.


This watering place was more notable as rem

tran any ether in the country. Here political IN
trigues were initiated, Presidential states were
made and national campaigns were planned,
marked out and settled long before the millions OF
American voters knew who they were to cast their
ballots for Even since the war several noted
meetings OF Northern and Southern politicians
took place here, but atterly there has been great
falling OF in this way, until the present season.
which has been an unusually large and successful
one, when quite o number OF distinguished
Southerners made their appearance among the
guests. In the absence OF more interesting polt-
ical topic the HERALD's discussion Of "C@sarism"
has been the principal subject Of conversation, and
/ md II spoken OF with that seriousness and
earnestness which such an important matter Justi-

mixed company at present here, or as the inter

WOOD VS.. TOWNSLEY.

We are puzzled to understand the occa-
sion of the late and sudden assault that has
been made upon N. @. BURCH, the late
Clerk of the Supreme Court, charging him
with not duly issuing an alternative writ
of riiandamus against, FRANCIS RoDMAN,
Secretary of State, in proceeding by
mandamus some four years ago, whereby
one Judge WooD was wronged out of his
commission. The Sedalia Democrat BAN
teringly asks the Clerk TO testify that he
did not promise to issue said writ immc-
diately. Of course he will not testify to
any such thing. 1t is some four years
since the occurrence of the events referred
10, and the Clerk can not remember what
his promises were in regard to the matter.
lie does not believe, however, that he
promised to issue the writ Immediately,
for the reason that before it could be is
>,,ed it had to he prepared, composed,
written and copied. We repeat, thnt had
MIR. WooD, or his attorney, expected the
Clerk to issue the writ referred to immc-
diately, it would have been brought to
him prepared and ready to be issued,-
which would require only his signature
and seal. 1t must, therefore, be apparent
TO every one that to blame the Clerk for a
derelction or delinquency, which was
the attorneys, if anybody's, is simply alb
surd and unwarranted, il not malicious.
The Clerk is asked to answer under oath.
We will cut the matter short and assert,
that whoever charges him with participat-
ing with any one in q trick to keep Mr..
Woop out OF II certificate of election, is
a liar. Do you understand that, Doctor
