A District Clerk Objects.

EDITOR ZINES: desiI" TO trespass upon
your space this week for fair and Just
statement OF the fees that are derived from
the Office | hold As Clerk OF the District
Court in one of the northern counties Of the
State. | see by your last weeks paper that
you are pleased at the reduction, and claim
that they receive large and exorbitant re-
muneration for their services So far as
this county is concerned, l saw it is not so.
am willing 10 make affidavit that the
fees OF my office do not exceed eight hun
dred dollars year, and base that state
ment upon my having been Clerk and Dep
uty, with exclusive control, for more than
four and 4 half years.
Among other important duties, I last
year approved bonds TO the amount OF about
$4,000, for which myself and sureties are
liable. | ask, then, in all fairness, ii in
cutting down such counties TO about the
paltry sum OF 500 per year, when n mans
whole time Is taken up in his business, is
| either reform or even justice, for services
that to be done well require fitness and
ability more than other county Office, ex-
cept Treasurer?
1t is unjust, paltry and contemplate. j,
may be said, .'lf You do not like it, resign
In times like these, when the howl is fol
honest and competent officers, it will be rp.
parent TO every candid man that it is neith
er policy nor justice TO place class ol
hard-worked and underpaid officers upon
the alternative of resignation or the pleasur,
of living upon less than a mechanics wa
ges, for the good OF an appreciative people
! while some are making three times rs mucl
at the county's expense, with less work.

TRUE VIRTUE.

The moral man knows the value Of truth,
searches for ii, or communicates il To others
The wise man exhibits il in his life and ac-
tions. Truth, wisdom, reason, virtue. ma
ture, are terms which equally designate
what is useful 10 mankind. Tie uniform
tendency of truth is to enlighten man-the
most enlightened are the most reasonable
the most reasonable feel more deeply than
Others the real Interests and motives they
ehave to be virtuous: Without the study of
nature, man can never know the relation
he bears, nor the duties he owes to himself
and others, deprived of this knowledge, he
Scan have neither form principles nor true
happiness. The most enlightened are the
mUst interested in being the best men-great
talents should lead to great virtues. He
who does evil is blind-who is unregulated
Is deprived of reason-his conduct proves
that he mistakes his own nature, is ig-
nsrant OF what is due TO himself and others,
of the value of self-esteem, ard of the es-
TEEN q those around him, he is not, nor
cannot be an enlightened man. II, he be
insensible to the Offices of virtue, to the ap-
probation and kindness Of his associates,
IL differs in nothing from brutes.
He is not an intelligent being whose great
aim is self preservation-if he does not
know and appreciate the inestimable adj
vantage OF society, and the means 10 render
ii tseful and agreeable, he is madman,
and not friend TO wisdom.
The Leavenworth weekly times., 1875-03-25
THEY SHOULD STAND BACK.

1se presence OF Lamar and Gordon, the
two rebels, in New Hampshire, unintention-
ally helped the Republicans.
In the first place, the presence OF those
gentlemen indicated 4 determined purpose
on the part Of the Democrats to leave no
means untried 10 hold the State This fact
stimulateds the Republicans and induced
counteracting efforts. That, certainly, was
both natural and legitimate.
In the next place, the importation OF
orators from the South, who had taken an
active part in the rebellion, to instruct and
influence the electors Of the State, could
not fail TO re-kindle the old war spirit Of
those Who had fought and suffered in the
contest.
But the fact of the Democrats calling on
these gentlemen to stump New Hampshire
is only an evidence Of what they intend, if
tlsy get into power. If We ever have
a Democratic Administration, the rebel in
fiuence will direct the counsels OF the ma
ton. Men who have fought and bled to
preserve the Union cannot but look with
distrust upon a party that recognizes As its
leaders the very men whom they fought
and who made every effort to achieve a vic,
tory for the Confederate States.
We do not say this in spirit of animos,
ity, on the contrary, we respect those that
fought under the rebel flag from an idea oi
right and duty; but We do think that they
should stand back for a while, and exhibit
by their CONDUCT that they have atoned
for their sins, and are fit TO rule.

THE DIFFERENT WITNESSES.

> Ths Brooklyn trial has interesting phases,
and affords numerous side studies and top
les for reflection. A notable feature of il is
the behavior of witnesses on the stand, and
the value OF their testimony. In this re-
speei the plaintiff has thus far had decid-
edly the best of the case The business
men, with one or two notable exceptions,
have hardly done themselves credit for sim
plicify and directness of statement and the
recollection of revelant facts. Mr.. Moul-
ton was an exceptional witness. He told a
wonderful story wonderfully well, and the
cross-examination was like rubbing piece
of silver plate which shines the brighter
the more it is rubbed. 1t is a question
whether any man in this country was ever
subjected to such critical inquisition as
Moulton, who stood it so well and improved
under the operation. Tilton was brilliant.
OF course he was Tilton, and his peculiari-
ties of mind and matter obtruded some
times too conspicuously on the curt, and
detracted from the merit and weight of his
testimony.
These eccentricities aside, and making
due allowance for the wear and tear of such
a prolonged strain on the nerves and brain,
he was an exceptionally fine witness, and
some Of his answers will be quoted as illus
trations of brilliant repartee and singing
sarcasm.
The women have done much better on
the stand than was expected at first, consid-
ering the character of the case. Mrs. Moul-
ton preserved all the delicacy, refinement
and modest bearing of lady, and gave
perhaps the most important testimony that
has been presented, with wonderful exact
nsss, and the cross-examination only deep
sned the force Of her positive statements
while Mr.. Ovington broke down, his wife
bore herslf quite creditably.
II ID needless to mention the failures.
