THE COUNTY BOARD ON SALARIES.
The action Of the County Board yesterday in
increasing the salary Of County-Attorney Roun-
tree from $4,000 to 81, 900, and abolishing the
office of Assistant States Attorney, was the
subject OF general remark. It met the approval
of no one, unless 1t was Rountree himself, the
only party benefited by the action. so far as
he is concerned, however, the action is easy OF
EXPLANATION, for his services as assistant clerk
to the Committees for two years, IS the writer
OF all resolutions to be laid before the Board,
and as the private attorney Of the Commission,
ers and the adviser for The ea
to do was to complain, which he
has done. His former complaint OF q
year ago brought him al increase Of salary OF
recent date have kept him clerk at salary OF
s. Der day and given him other assistance when
he wanted it. His complaint yesterday gave
him an increase Of another 81, ,Uoo, making ms
salary equal to that Of States Attorney, Sheriff,
and all the Judges Of the Courts. The facts
are, Mr.. Rouutrec fixed his own salary, as he
tjxcs everything else be wants to in the Board,
aud nothing but his innate modesty has kept
the figures as low as they are. at least, all the
salaries were fixed in his Office in private, aud IN
his presence, aud if he did not make some
suggestions or deliver some Ssopinions," he is
not in private what he has the reputation OF
being In public.
Tie action In abolishing the office OF Assistant
States Attorney is believed to be founded on
several reasons. A year ago, it will be remcm-
bered, the same County Board felt the necessity
of such an officer SO sensibly as to increase the
salary $500. The minority in the Board fought
the proposition to Increase, but to no avail, for
they were met with the argument that the Oh
flee was laborious one, and no one fitted for
its duties would accept it without an increase
Of salary. But the opinion Of the majority has
since undergone radical change, It appears.
Whys Can it be that the Assistant States AS
torncy has been found to be in the way OF the
Board in the Grand-Jury room, dlscov-
cry made since the indictment OF sev-
cral of its members! Or Is u
that the Board desires to be scent
The latter is the most likely theory, and is
nretty well substantiatcd. It was told to re.
porter Yesterday that the Board knew full well
that it could not deny the States Attorney IN
assistant, and that it did not expect Or desire to,
but that they wanted to give Mr.. Mills an early
hint to come, see, and labor with them, ana make
| i demand upon them for favor Betorc grant
| Inc him m assistant they would demand OF him
a favor, and thus make the obligation and con,
t ccssion mutual Just what 1avor the Board
! wants other than the quashing OF the. 1nd1ct-
| ments against some Of its s'Rng " members
| must fnr the present be conjecture. Inc re-
| consideration J of the action is Of course only
! matter OF time, for the new Board will doubtless
| cause the wrong to be corrccteu.

The Ohio State Register publishes an
account of the suicide of one Dick Will
son, at Des Moines, Iowa. Wilson was
formerly resident of Fayette county, in
this State, and was but little over 10
years of age. Whisky and tobacco did
the work for him. A young man who
took supper with him the same night in
which he killed himself, states that he
was quite nervous, and in a very short
time smoked FIVE cigars. He wrote a
letter TO his parents. in which he says
whisky did it. He shot himself in the
right temple, and died with the stump
of cigar between his fingers.

BELKNAP.

There is a great excitement in Wash
ington City. The Secretary of War, w.
W. Belknap, has resigned, been impeach-
ed and indicted
Before and during the war, Belknsp
was Democrat, and he married proud,
fashionable secessionist for wife. When
he became Secretary Of War one Caleb
P. Marsh paid this woman a large sum oi
money to get her husband to appoint
him to trading post at Fort Sill, and he
was to pay her sum Of money every
year, This woman died, and Belknap
married her sister, a woman Of the same
kind. Marsh continued to pay the mon
ey to this second wife. The whole mat
ter came out. and Belknap does not de
ny it. Marsh has run off to Canada, and
Belknap will probably be sent to the
Penitentiary.
The Cincinnati Times says:
Whether or not Secretary Belknap
was partner to the Marsh bribery, it is
quite clear that his two wives were. Both
Of his wives were Democrats of the most
| ultra character-secessionis in fact
Their companions and confidants were
Democrats. The present Mrs Belknap's
most trusted friend, the manager of her
property, and the gentleman who gave
her away" at her marriage, was Hon.
Geo. II. Pendleton. We hardly see
any political capital is to be made out of
this shame It is simply disgusting to
attempt it. 1t is burden of disgrace
which falls upon the country, and which
the country must shake Off 1t belongs
to no party-or rather, it belongs to both
alike.

The Hillsborough News says there is

defined rows of grains of corn upon it,
This may be so, and reminds us OF story
we heard once. A stakeholder in Vir-
ginia, knowing that an ear of corn with
an odd number of rows upon it was
never seen, told one Of his slaves that If
he could find an ear Of corn that year
with an odd number Of rows upon it, he
would give him his freedom. The corn
was then in roasting ears, and the slave
took knife and carefully cut out one
row of grains. and the space so nicely
closed as the corn grew, that the master
never discovered the fraud, and set the
slave free. II Bro. Boardman's ear OF
