Our correspondent, "1oc-payer." "
under date of March 4th, says:

Our correspondent, 'Toc-payer. ?"
under date of March 4th, says:
There is one item of interest to our
citizens that strikes me ought to be
brought to their special notice, that is
in relation to the action of our City
Fathers in the enforcement of city
ordinances and enactments of their
board meetings. 1t appears to me
that a record of the proceedings of
each meeting of the board of alder
men ought TO be published in the city
papers for the general information of
our payers. A great deal OF dis
satisfaction has tendency to arise out
of the secret manner In which the
meetings of the present honorable
board are conducted; how appropria-
tons for improvements are made, and
contracts for city work awarded.
The manner in which this business
was conducted in previous years was
very different from the present mode.
Then, every official act and vote cast
by each member of the board was
known to every citizen of our town.
and | deem it a matter Of justice to
both aldermen and citizen that this
system be resumed. There has been
considerable money expended by our
city fathers, for several years past, for
various purposes, and outside of the
respective members of the board the
people OF our city know very little
about it. Though | have no doubt,
whatever, but. every dollar was Judi
ciously and economically expended.
Yet this does not satisfy the people.
The manner in which these city i'm
prnyements are made ought to be
known to the people who pay for
them through the press of our city.
Every city and town of any note in the
country has business of this character
published for the information of the
people interested, and | think Clarks-
Vile is none the less deserving Also
publication of the proceedings of
each monthly meeting of the county
courts would give great satisfaction to
the seople of the county. and save a
considerable amount of unpleasant
paper correspondence Itmay be con-
sidered as adding expense on the coun-
ty and city to adopt this method of
informing the citizens of how their
money is expended, but the informa-

The Courier-Journal says that as
Grants Radical friends secede from
him. he will look to the South for re-
cruits TO secure him third term. or
elevate him to a throne. We admit
that he has the colored element TO
begin with: we also admit that the
South is fearfully demoralized and
that its Bourbons are ready to take up
any man who ever was. like Grant, a
nominal Democrats was done here
in the case of Andy Johnson-but we
do not admit that its white element.
as body. is so degraded as 10 be
brought to Grants feet by smile or
nod from that potentate. Many Bour-
hons furnished their good names by
voting for him last year, only because
they hated Greeley and desired to be-
come conspicuous, either as Independ-
ents or as simon-pure Democrats. If
Grant intends to be king he must look
for adherents elsewhere than among
the white men of the South. Nor are
they so vindictive as to sacrifice all
they should hold most dear, for the
paltry qualification of being led in
arms, against New England to punish
Grants enemies aud TO erect despot-
ism over themselves.

WE extract the following from the
Courier-J Journal, knowing that the
friends of Col. John ID. Morris, will
be gratified to learn that bright pros
poets are before him:
A great excitement RACES in Lyon
county, KY, according to the Prince
ton Banner, over the recent extensive
purchases of lands in that county, rich
in iron ore. A few years ago Hon.
Charles Anderson, Ex-Governor of
Ohio, knowing the prospective value
of these lands, and entertaining the
firm belief that millions of dollars
we're lying hidden in those hills in the
shape of iron ore, purchased 10.500
acres at small price. For these lands,
according to the Banner, he would not
take S250.OO0. Another firm, COM
posed of Col. John ID. Norris, late of
the Hopkinsyille New Era, Ed. Mach
en-, of Eddyville, and Messrs. Judge
Cross and Peck. of Louisville, have
made large purchases, and expect to
realize immensely in them. This Ly-
on county ore is what is known as the
brown hematite ore, and is valuable
because of the necessity of its use
with other ore to make the best iron
and steel"

CARD FROM n. T. HOOD.

Ny attention has been called to Mr..
Rexinger's abusive overflow in the To-
bacco Leaf, of March 9th, and in his
circular issued in Washington. In
reply I will say that what | said in my
former card, or anything which [ may
have said or written, in regard to him,
| am prepared to fully substantiate to
his face, and can make satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of any part taken in the
matter in the past. Mr.. Burchett's
cards show clearly that he contracted
to vote for Andrew johnson, and if
he did not, was guilty of falsehood.
Mr., Rexinger seeks to impress the
public with the weighty fact that he
was the honorable chairman of the
Republican committee of Montgomery
county. We admit it. But he did
not act as such at any of our public
meetings during the canvass, and did
very little of the work connected with
it. IF he is out of much money, on
the canvass, it was lost betting on An
drew johnson. His malicious and
ungentlemanly attack on several ofour
best citizen, is met by the disap-
prevail of the whole community. In
regard to his representations of the
means resorted to by me to procure
signatures to my petition, will say that
many signed without any solicitations,
on my part, and to no one did make
any excuse for my petition other than
that | believed there would be
change, which | was fully warranted
in believing from facts with which |
was acquainted. [ have made no
charges against Mr.. Rexinger to obtain
the position, as my application to the
Postmaster General and letter to
Hon. Horace Maynard plainly show.
Respectfully,
\, +. HoOp.

IL a strictly moral view, it is diff
cult TO decide which is the more gull
ty. the man who harbors and defends
thief, or the thief himself. In this
relation to each other, stand the Credit
Mobilier treasury thieves and those
who defended them on the floor of
Congress and shielded them from pun
ishment. This enquiry-pressed to its
legitimate conclusion-would fasten
an equal amount of guilt upon all who
hereafter co operate with party whose
prominent leaders either robbed the
Treasury, as Credit Mobilier stock
holders, or harbored and defended
those who are convicted Of that crime.
What picture of the great Repub-
lie will this investigation present TO
the governments and peoples Of Eu-
rope! What a powerful appeal in be-
half of free institutions is made to
the world by this nOmlnally free gov
eminent whose partizan and sectional
administration practices tyranny with
IMMUNITY and whose highest officials
rob the the people and justify the
crime by organizing the several De-
partments into mutual protection as
sociationsi And how it strengthens
this appeal TO be able to point to the
fact, that the pure, the intelligent, the
Christian voters of the North are the
power thatupholds this lawless govern
ment aud the Christian statesmen who
have made il "a den of thievesr
