An official inspection of the books and
records of Tppecanoe county by Col. w. II.
Donahey, and his report to the Board OF
Commissioners are of more than merely
local interest. The statements made are
suggestive of important facts to all the
counties of Indiana. The investigation OF
the Tippecsroe records at the instance of
the commissioners grew out of political
matters, not of general concern and not
necessary to be explained. The report of
Col. Donsbey is understood to exculpate
the officers from any intentional wrong"
but it finds that. first, "Funds were received
and applied to the credit of one fund which
should have been applied to the credit of
another fund, as:

county: also, the mileage and certificates of
jus ices of the peace have been deducted Il ON
the fines, which is a clear violation of law.
Second that the tax duplicates are not made

and fragrant delinquency on the part of an
officer. Third; the condition of the COM

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER p.

After working for ten years at reconstruc
tiop, tie republican party has got so Tar adj
vanv,d that the pretended governor OF Lou
issasa has to be set upon the necks OF the
reople and held there by the general govern
ulent, a congressman has to run out OF Ala

the South are. according to Senator Morton
shooting each other down for she mere
fun OF the thing in the cotton fields and
the cane brakes. This Is rather SLOW
business. At such a rate of progress, when
does the party in power expect to restore
ANYTHING like law and order to the South. TO
say nothing of prosperity and happinessS
It Is simple question in the rule OF three.
III somebody would say just how far in ad-
vance the Louisiana of to-day is compared
to the Louisiana of ten years ago, the
problem could be worked out. To simple
minded people it looks as If reconstruction
were going backward

Senator Moron lays tue blame OF the
failure of southern government upon the
leaders OF the South, who he says were too
proud to take part in reconstructing their
several states and threw the work
rpon ignorant negroes and scalswags.
The senator forgets that the south-
ern leaders and indeed most
Of the rebels Of any standing were disfran-
shised at the beginning of the reconstruction
era, and could not have had anything 20
say In politics even il they wanted to. He
also fOrgets how kindly all men who had
anything to do in the rebellion were in
formed by himself and others of like
disposition at the North that it
would become them to take a back
seat and not attempt to mingle in politics
for q few years. Verify short memory is
sometimes great convenience for popular
orator. The welcome which the Southerners
received when they finally did try to take a
a hand in their own government is a suffi.
cient proof of the style in which their in
reference would have been receia ed just
afterth the war.

in the country. We condense the following
description Oft, as of interest at this juno
ture;pg is situated on Mount Hope bay
an inlet of Narragsnsett, at the mouth OF
the Taunton river, forty-fve miles south
west of Boston. 1t takes it's name from a
small stream called Fall creek, that rises in
some ponds about two miles back from the
bay and flows into the Taunton river, with
descent of 100 feet in less than hall mile.
Along it's banks great mills have been
built. which originally ran by water
power. but are now mostly driven
by steam. The main manufacture
is that of cotton goods and
Fall:River employs more spindles than apy
town in the United States. There are thirty

yards annually. The capital employed is

amounts to SI92, $50. With such a fiourishing
industry it is easy to conceive that every
other kind of prosperous activity has been
added. The railroad connections are abund-
ant and there is communication with New
York by a line of steamers. Banks, churches,
schools and libraries are numerous and

the overthrow of the Tammsny rirg. 1t is
now generally acknowledged that To him
moro than any other man-with possibly q
single exceptiou-tbe downfall of Tweed
was due. he Is a native of New York, and
was born in 1sl4. though he looks
much older than such record would war
rant. He is an eminent lawyer, and gave
his services in the Tsnmany case without
recompeuse. With aE his integrity and
ability, he Is not the man for popular
leader, and while Sanford f. Church would
havecarried the state by an overwhelming
majority, even against Dix, it is doubtful if
Tilden can succeed against the present gov
exnor. Even uHder the burden of the Credit

and Captain William Forrest at that
PLACE last Friday evening. That morn
ing Davis, who was drunk, whipped
a petit dog Of his named Nancy unmer

som tricks which he wished her to do.

said BILLY, don't whip the dog that

When Davis missed him he was loud
