Is also made Of the trespass oil the boys VINO
are engaged in catching the stock by citizens,
Who daily charge them with breaking FAX down
their fences In order to secure the ANIMALS,
and aS ali. or very nearly all, Of the goats and
hogs are owned by. poor people, the loss thus
sustained by them Is great hardship indeed.

Pound Dead.

DuBUouE, IA, June 24-This morn
ing at Bankston settlement John Greer
wealthy German of fifty, was found
living dead on the floor Of his own room
with blood flowing from his nose and
mouth and his face black and swollen
giving him the appearance Of having
been strangled. Greer was known to be
a temperate and industrious man. The
impression is that he was robbed and
murdered, as his house was known to
contain large sum Of money, of which
no trace can be found.

A correspondent writes AS follows
from Knoxville:
The cholera excitement has almost
stopped our trade in the country. We
hear great complaints against the pub
fishers Of the leading papers OF the city,
for their failure TO give report OF the
health Of the city 10 so late n date.
Cholera has been in the city two weeks
before any paper would acknowledge IL.
Why was this2 Ii hurts you in the coun..
try and il is better TO state the facts, aud
then it viii not create such panic all
over the land.
GREESRyILLH, June 10, 7p.m.-There
were two deaths yesterday and three to-
day from the prevailing malady. Two
deaths in Washington county are also
reported.
Some ascribe the disease to impure
water from springs, and are using only
cistern water.
Among the deaths from cholera yes
terday was !. X. jenkins, assistant
taller. He was on the streets yesterday

THOSE LITTLE INDICTMENTS.

A gentleman Of the city who was IN
til recently member Of the County
Court, writes to the Register, abiding to
the fact that all the members Of the
Court save FIVE were some months since
indicted by the Grand Jury for voting
themselves FIVE dollars per day. he
complains that for several mouths pre-
vious the Appeal, Avalanche and
LEDGER hardly struck off an issue with
out charging gross incompetency and
corruption on the part of that Court,
but since then no legal steps have been
taken against them, ETC. Now in re-
gard to the LEDGER, we think the gem
tleman is mistaken, as this paper has
had very little to say on the subject. We
do not hesitate to affirm it as our opinion
that they were justiGable in drawing
five dollars a day as a matter Of
necessity. 1t must be allowed that a
court Of such Importance has some dis
cretionary powers The members could
not board themselves and work for moth
ing, as those from the remote parts Of
the county would have to do, after pay
ing their railroad fare. Let the Court
refuse to assemble for one or more terms,
and what howl would be heard from
all classes. No set Of intelligent, re-
sponsible men will ever be found to leave
their work from one to three weeks
every quarter and transact the business
of the county at two dollars a day. Had
they voted themselves exorbitant pay,
as ten or twenty dollars per day, case
could be maintained against them. But
since they have been censured and
charged with acting corruptly, the ques-
ton belongs to the courts, although we
have no idea that anything will come Of
the Indictments. The charge Of ex-
travsgance has never been brought
against this Court for il is a
pattern of the most rigid economy; so
much 20 indeed that necessary appro-
priaiiuns are sometimes made with re-
luctance aud several recorded nays.
But the members are responsible men
and accountable ia toe courts and at the
bar OF public opinion, and need no de-
Tense which they are not able to make.
We Only wished 10 call the attention Of
he sr member 10 a mistake in which
,,hsrs may have shared, hoping that
bev may net fad it Improbable to be
