The attack upon Mr.. Adams by the late Jonathan
Russell, his colleague in tho Peace Commission at
Client is commented at length in the diary where
il is denounced as an elaborate disingenuous and
sophstica argument against principles" to which he
had previously given his unqualified assent. Mr.
Russclps motives, it is affirmed, were to curry favor
with the Virginia statesmen by flatterng their sec
tiona prejudices and was part OF system OF meas
ures concerted by others that were daily developed
in practice. Mr.. Adamss conduct OH the occasion
was singuarly prompt and manly. He called for the

controversy but the whole discussion leaves highly

towards his adversary; he shows no disposition,
though there was opportunity, to retaiate; but he
evinces power to fight his own battles that might
lead the most reckless antagonist to hesitate before
making him the object of attack.

ASOTIFE DEFALGATfoS--Gpd this
time 1t isu'ta Radical. The law re.
quires the County superintendent TO
transmit monthly 10 the County
Treasurer all moneys received 10y him
for certificates Issued, together with
the name Of each person by whom 1t
IL paid, and the amount.
Mr. Mershon, the Superintendent
for this county has made DO report
as required by law tf'ee laws passed 10y
Fifteenth General Assembly, Chap.
81 since December 18th, 1874. and has
deposited no money In the Treasury
since that date.
Before writing q word about thlf
matter we took occasion 10 ask Mr..
Mcfshon personally Tor an explata'
ton, bat could obtain none, excep'
that the matter would be made right
at the proper time, and the money
forthcoming when 1t IL wanted. He
admits the requirements Of the law,
as above stated, but says If the money
II on hand when IL IL wanted that Il
all that " necessary. We suggested
to the gentleman that his plee is iden-
tical with that made by ex-State
Treasurer Rankin; but he could not
see the pertinence o! the point. The
funds not placed In the proper reposi'
tory, the county treasury. belong t.
tlie Institute fund, and are the only
means provided TO meet The expenses
of the Normal Institute. which meets
next month, except $40 provided by
the State. Mr.. Mershon has
said lately that the fund.-
for the institute would DO about $500
Then, according to his own testimony
he must be holding near SEQ Of this
fund IN his own keeping and use In
stead Of depositing II In tho county
treasury monthly according to law.
Can he or his brother officers elected
on the same ticket with him explain
this matter and tell us how IL COM
ports with the boosted honesty OF their
party?
