GENERAL SPINNER.

Mr.. Bristow or some of his poiti-
cal friends wanted to appoint man
to a vacant place under General
Spinner, and General Spinner objec-
ted and claimed the right to fill the
place, upon the simple ground that
he must himself choose the persons
for whose honesty he is under the
law officially responsible. But bis
claim was oyerrued and his resigna-
ton was accepted, and on this differ
ence he is to give way to another.
Forty seven thousand dollars have
now been stolen while legally in the
Treasurer's custody. For the safety
of that money he is not only fnan>
cialIy but criminally responsible, in,
asmuch as if he fails safely to keep"
the moneys of the government he is
guilty of ENLIGHTENMENT, and "shall
be punished, by imprisonment for
not less than six months nor more
than ten years." and shall also be
fined in a sum equal to the amount
''embezzled." His bond also is con-
ditioned for the fidelity of the per-
sons under him. Yet upon an offs
Ger thus responsible for the acts of
the many persons in his department
his administrative superiors claim the
right to force the loose Adventures
who hunt for profitable employment
in the political retinue of distinguish
ed men. This is one of the many
monstrocities incident to the system
that contempIates offices of trust as
the spoil of political warfare. N. I.

RUNNING NEWSPAPERS S.

RowELLS forthcoming "Newspa-
per Directory" shows the failure Of
1000 newspapers in this country
during the past year, the loss to
publishers, subscribers and adver-
Users amounting to over IS, OOO,-
600, the Republic of New York,
alone losing half a million. Among
those who went into the newspaper
business and lost heavily thereby
were 275 merchants and adventur
ers, 3l5 school teachers, 81 law
yers, 4 blacksmiths, 33 plasterers,
10 farmers, 200 fanatics of various
classes afflicted with literary lesion,
100 ambitious but visionary young
men who drew upon their fathers,
and thus suddenly exhausted large
margins of the patcrnal capital, and
6 lottery men.
There was not practical printer
among the whole number, and yet
all other branches of business were
representative very men who are
always telling printers how to run
newspapers. 1t would seem from
this carefully prepared statement,
that each man had better stick to
his own calling and trade.

WESTERN & A. RAILROAD.

Superintendent 4. w. COLE, of
Nashville, in letter to the Augusta
ConStitutiOnalist, more clearly ex'
plains his statement previously made
about the earnings of the Western
& Atlantic Railroad. The $780,
coo of the expenses did not include
the 100000 rental paid to the
State. Mr.. Cole says: "The gross
earnings, as stated by me, were
ST, 344, 932.76, and the gross ex-
penditures $50, 264.90. To this
add the 100000 rental paid the
State, and our total expenses were
S1,110, 264 90-leaving difference
of S234,647.6G. OF this sum $685.
900 was paid on the coupons OF the
income bonds, and the balance was
applied to the payment of the in
debtedness Of the company, which
was incurred for equipment and
construction during the hrst thtee
years of the lease, and after the APP
plications of the whole amount which
is alleged to be profits, the company
was still indebted in a sum Of over
$4,000" During the four years
possession of the road by the press
ent lessees, the sum of $4,000 in
the shape of income bonds has been
distributed to the lessees by way Of
dividends, which would average
S23, 900 year; but as the COM
pany now owe aud are paying inter-
est on $4,000, it is apparent that
they have as yet derived no income
from the profits of the road.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

THE Rome Commercial calls atten-
ton to the fact that Judge johnson,
Of Muscogee Superior Court, has just
rendered decision of some interest
to the press of the State. 1t arose
from the taking Of several orders to
perfect service by publication. The
orders were drawn up in the usual
form, each naming, at the dictation OF
the plaintiffs attorney, the paper in
which it should be published. When
the orders were handed to the clerk
he claimed the right to select the pa
per in which they should appear.
The matter was referred to the court,
and Judge johnson decided that
when a matter pertained to the office
of the clerk, he had the right to Sc
Iect the paper, but where the ? lain
tiff was concerned the latter had the
right of selection, and the clerk was
instructed accordingly.
