The city clerk offers reward Of $50 fO- the
recovery Of the missing petitions and the ap.
prel,ension Of the person Or persons supposed
to have stolen them. 1t i>l,est for our citizens
not to pass judgment upon the Ct y clerk OF
the council relative to this matter until there
l. proof positive and certain that they are in
any wav guilty. We have heard some very
unjust remarks made both concerning the
clerk and the council, but We are charitable
enough, to believe they were used in passion
AMI under the excitement of the moment. II
there has bcen any fraud or base means re-
sorted 70 in placing the petitions beyond the
reach Of fair and square scrutiny. we will
quickly censure the act. and do all We can ia
bring the offender or offenders to justice. We
can see no reason a, present & doubt the hon
e.,y of the city clerk. or that Of the honorable
body which appointed him. 1t Is wrong
therefore. for the community to make hasty
conclusions. The council was elected by Z
good majority and must have been the choice
OF the people. It would lie hardly reasonable
to suppose that the Judgment Of so many
honest and conscientious voters OF Salinl
should have been SO poor rs to have chosen 8
set Of men Who could be guilty OF fraud and
corruption. The clerk has hitherto borne q
spotless reputation, and wc cannot be made to
believe tia; he wou:d be guilty Of Committing
or abe,tiny 50 criminal an act. X

Of Mr.. Israel Narkley's mill at Bennington

coal, two inches in th,ckxess was struck at
that place the other day. and there is every in
dication tina. coal in vast quantities exist there
about. This is the opinion Of ssv.ral persons
who are working at the mill Who have
had considerable experience in coal mining in
England. II coal exists there in quantities
sufficient to make the mining profitable. II will
be VI incalculable benefit to Salina, and also
the towns on the Solomon river. There Is a
good straight road from this place to that 10
cali.y and. OF c0ur e. the coal can be market
ell here at very little expense. One great
drawback upon the establishment Of manufac-
tories here has been the Lack OF fuel in this re-
cion. Aud If j, can he easily and clleaPly
procured. but short time will clapse before
S:,lina will become manufacturing town. Mr..
Richards also informs us that the work on the
mill .. progressing rapidly. and that the mill
will be in runnin. operation in about two
months. The machinery is on the rosai and
will be received At this place. The mill is to
b. fitted with three run Of stone and furnish

The Crops I'm the Southwest.

The Memphis Cotton Exchange, from
numerous reports on the cotton crop in Ten
nessee, Alabama. Mississippi and Arkansas,
estimates that in these States, from the
blighting effects Of the recent severe drought,
the aggregate yield will be about iorty-fve per
cent less than that of last year. This will be
a severe loss to the States directly concerned
but there are still more dscouraging facts in
this Memphis report, viz Having realized
advances to the extent of their interests
laborers have abandoned the picking Of the
cotton in many instances, and as, in addition
to prices of cotton being very low, very little
grain or meat has been raised, there is much
foreboding as to the future. This devotion
of their lands and their capital exclusively to
the cultivation Of cotton has for many years
proved disastrous blunder to our Southern
planters. They have depended upon their
cotton to supply them, not only with all their
household and farming utensils and imple-
ments, their clothing, furniture, &c, but to
supply them with provisions to great ex-
tent, from the Northwest, when, for manufac-
lures of all descriptions and for all the
articles of subsistence of the temperate zone,
our cotton States offer facilities and advan-
tages which exist nowhere else in the world
To these important matters OF Southern recon-
struction the attention Of Southern planters
cannot be too earnestly directed.

even among the model reformers
of our own day. Register Sigel went
into Office on the shibboeth of reform.
and we heard great deal pending his elec-
ton about the heavy fees and the great benefit
that would be conferred on the dear people
by their reduction if they would only Eight
mt Sigel' and win the battle of economy.
We have not heard that the perquisites of the
Office are less now than they were under
''ring rule" The present Comptroller took
office as reformer; but the reform we have
had in the Finance Department has been in
the direction of prodigality and ineficiency.
The convicted Police Commissioners were re-
formers; yet the street cleaning iniquities un-
der their management scarcely tended in the
direction of reform. The Commissioners of
Charities and Correction ore of the reform
stamp; but their dry goods, -four, beef
and false bills do not evince a desire to
save the peoples money. So if Mr..
Kelly did not prove himself marvel of
reform and economy while in Office he GER
tainly has plenty of company. We can only
advise him, now that he has given us fur
ther proof of the untruthfulness, vindictive-
ness and trickery of the unfortunate Have
meyer, to remain out of Office himself, and to
use his political influence to secure those
reforms which are needed in the Sheriff's
Office and in nearly all other public offices
before we can enjoy government based upon
truly honest, upright and economical business
principles.

WHERE ARE THE OLD LEADERS PA Rich.
mond correspondent paints sad picture Of
the state of Southern society and politics since
the war. He critcises Mr.. Davis sharply, and
presents what will with some softening of
tone be undoubtedly the historical estimate Of
this singular man. The passing away of the
men who were leaders in the rebellion, out Of
all relation to reconstruction, is one of the
saddest phases of the whole situation. Tha
South will never assume her true place in the
Union until her real leaders come to the front.

GOVERNOR KELLOGG on HIS DEFENCE.
Governor Kellogg has issued an address to
the people OF the United States in
which he attempts to justify his original
usurpation of power IN the un-
fortunate State he misrules, and next,
to prove that his carpet-bag government has
been an honest one The best thing he could
do to satisfy the people of the United
States would be to relieve the people
of Louisiana of his presence, and
to leave them free to choose their own
State government by fair vote of all entitled
to the franchise, black and white. This
give of his honesty. OF course We do not ex-
pect him to give 1t.

Special Sessions. Furthermore, Mr..
Kelly shows that by arrangement
with the Secretary of States office
the names Of the persons convicted
in the Police Courts were retained in the
Sheriff possession, where they now remain
open to inspection, while tabular statements
OF the number, nativity, sexes, ages and other
information required for statistical purposes
were forwarded to Albany. Mr. Kelly might
have added fact which he has overlooked
namely, that in making up the statistics of
crime the Sheriff returns, and not the incom-
plete returns Of the clerks of Courts of Special
Sessions, have always been used by the Secre-
tary OF State.
Other answers to counts in the Mayors bill
Of indictment are made by Mr.. Kelly which
are equally conclusive, but which we must
pass over, referring the reader to Mr. Kelly's
exhaustive letter When the ex-Sherif an
nounces that be has every record OF his office
safe that he has every volume Of police convic-
tons, with names, offences and dates properly
certified that the name of every Juror SUM-
moned by him in six years is on file, and that
every book and paper in his possession is
open to the inspection Of the Mayor and OF
every citizen Of New York, we are bound to
accept bis figures as correct. But when we
have said this We leave untouched The aues-
tion as to the official morality which allows a
strictly conscientious man and re-
former to take full advantage of
laws which entitle him to exorbitant
lees and profits, and not to set the example
Of true reform in his own person. Mr.
Nelly, finding enormous perquisites attached
to the Sheriff's Office, ought perhaps, in the
opinion Of some moralists, TO have refused
the money and used his influence while in
Office to secure reform in the in
terest Of the public We admit, how
ever. that such philanthropy IN rare
