CHECkMATE.
Those $4,000 a Myth After All.
The Auditors Revenge, or a New
Way to Pay New Debts.

We have never been accused Of fondness
for Clinton. We have been severe and caustic
on Clinton and We believe he deserved j, all
but though the sky should fall we propose to
do him justice.
l. is well, but no. favo-ahly known, that
the Legislature during the extra session
passed an appropriation bill OF S117,0O0 for
the pay Of the members.
This amount included the mileage and per
diem Of those Conservative members who did
not participate in the proceedings Of the Hahn
House, blu! who thought they were entitled to
full pay, as well as the sum due or claimed to
be due to each member for the extra session.
! The vouchers have for the most part been
issued and large number of them Lave been
| put upon the market. but sudden stop has
| been put to all transactions in them, for
Auditor Clinton has refused to issue warrants
for them on the ground tia! the appropria-
ton is in fragrant violation Of the Constitu-
ton, which declares that no amount shall be
appropriated in excess Of the revenues.
The appropriation bill passedat the regular
session was erjoined upon the same grounds,
and Mr.. Clinton would seem to have ample
law for his position. A Conservative Senator
who presented his voucher this morn
ing was quite stunned by the informa-
ton that no warrant would be issued
therefor, and it is not improbable that had
this action of the Auditor been dreamed Of,
his official head would have dropped into the
basket which had been prepared for it.
The Conservative members who went into the
adjustment from pure pltriotism can, of
course, very well stard this check; but We can
fancy the chagrin of those ravenous Radicals
who were only after their mileage and per
diem. Won't they make things warm for
Clinton, though, next session!
Last night, Notwithstanding the publicity
and thorough substantialion given to the
above, Kellogg stated authoritatively that
Clinton had not and did not intend to refuse
issuing warrants on this bill. He said there
was no truth in the report that the Auditor
had made any refusal to warrant. This will
doubtless be greeted with sincere qualification
by those who have served their country for
their country's good.

THE LATE DISASTER.
Two Bodies Found.

Yesterday two bodies were found float
ing in the river about eight miles below the
city, within short distance of the levee, on
this side Of the river.
One was that Of colored man, and the
other that Of white woman.
The hands of the woman were closed
tightly around the left arm of the man, and
it is evident that they went down together in
death struggle.
Both bodies show marks Of having been
badly burned. There is no doubt that they
are victims of the late disaster, and the de-
scription Of the clothing on the body of the
woman leads to tho belief that it is the body
Of Mrs. Musgrove.

sent sign painter to paint her name on the
warehouses. A day or two after he returned
to find the painter finishing up the job, and
there, in six foot letters, stood out ASIA.
Kimba!l, red with rage, collared the poor
painter, hauled him along the wharf and
pointed up to the letters. s.What in the devil

improved greatly.
Mr.. Wilson had had no experience In feeding
cattle; but fed COWS all winter and nearly ali
summer. If he kept cattle would be in favor
of feeding them grain.
Mr.. Allen also had had no experience with
cattle; but when he sees two counties which
are acknowledged to be the richest in the Uni
ted States, Lancaster and Chester counties,
Pennsylvania, pursuing the course OF feeding
grain 10 cattle, lie concludes that it does pay
Those counties sell no grain and yet are the
richest in the United States Mr. Allen took
exception to q remark that land could not be
improved without stable manure. There were
thousands of acres in Hartford county that had
been improved without stable manure.
Mr. Moores said he was q feeding man. If
you can make $50 head on cattle without grain
you can make $50 head by feeding them grain
He feeds about four barrels ofcorn each. Thir
ty-fve years ago coru was considered poison to
cattle. The first man in Hartford county to feed
corn to cattle was DR.. Abraham Street,, and he
got rich by it, Mr.. Moores thought the farmers
Of Hartford should raise monument to his
memory. When you find man too stingy to
feed grain TO his cattle, you find him going to
church ON Sunday and praying for rain. A man
who feeds his cattle never wants rain.
The discussion was interrupted at this point
by an invitation to supper, after which, the
members in groups of two and three discussed
farming operations until motion to adjourn
prevailed and they separated, to meet at Mr..

Nix. EDITOR: suppose it would not be
amiss to say something through The -E'giS re-
speeding this section of country. From the
residence Of Mrs. Glenn (Which commands fine
view of the surrounding county,) can be seen
at least fifteen farms, which are in good state
of cultivation, highly improved with the aid OF
lime, which seems to be their chief fertilizer.
Their greatest Inconvenience is having TO wagon
all their produce TO market at Il great cost
Had they n railroad passing through this sec
ton, farming would be the most prof table en-
ployment any one could engage in.
Notwithstanding the severe winter and dry
weather, at present the wheat looks fully as
well as In other portions ofthe county; but
find the drought Is not confined solely to this
portion Of Hartford, as have been informed that
since the LIST of May the greatest drought exists
in your town that has been known for years.

WONDERFUL FEAT OF EQUESTRIANIsM

Major Ruiledge, with party of friends, was
en- route TO what was then known as Webster's
Camp meeting. When near Sandy Hook, some
of the party were discussing politics quite loud
Is, and he remarked to them that if they would
cease he would jump his horse in n cart which
was some distance ahead. The party ceased
talking and challenged him to perform the feat,
which he did by landing the horse safely in the
cart-he dismounting and sitting on the side
of the cart until he reached Sandy Hook.
Then the question arose as to how the horse
could be gotten ont Of the cart. He remarked
that he could get him out easily enough, which
he did Uy Enchanting the fore part Of the cart
and sliding him ont Of the back part. Out of
all the company present witnessing the feat,
there is but one living besides the Major, and
that is Mr. lguatus Rutledge. UNUs.
