say this because IL il generally understood
that this repeating set was demanded by
the political necessities Of tho Confederate
Democrats party. It is . most sagaoious
move, but it comes too Late to accomplish
its purpose. But it does not come too late
to impart . new interest to the great con.
test in whica we ere engaged. This aet ot
repeal aooomplishes two objects at one and
the Same time.
First-It developes and sharpens tho
gresnback issue, and thereby makes it
prominent issue In the canvass.
6econd-It Leads the eountfy away from
the real iesue in the pending election, and
to that extent weakens tho Republican
party. eeas,st
Let 10 first examine the question - it
relates to the Greenback issne, and see how
far the Confederate Dsmocrscy has
strengthened itself by this motion. BY
reference to tho official record Of tho vote

New York Times writes:
The use Of tho rebel archives, for the
search Of which the House refused to make
an adequate appropriation, u illustrated IN
. recent instance. A man by the name OF
Do Haven made claim fer the loss Of . ves-
eel destroyed BY the United States, fixing
the amount ct go, 900. Tho claim was be-
fore . committee q tAe Senate, and Was
quite favorably coesidersd On the papeGs
presented. The claimant, among other scts,
had made oath to hie loyalty during Tie
war. It happened that The eass was
searched out In the archives, and II was dis-
covered that Do Haven had sold his vessel
to the Confederate govegnnent, and his dr..
nature, proved 70 b he sv1 BY compazison
With his present handwriting, was discov-
cred upon the voucheEs for tho payment.
Moreover, he had received pay 1or the use

For several days other city. papers than
the REPUBLICAN, have made comments ON
the Auditors Office without having any
facts to found them on. Because Colonel
johnson is absent the impression has been
sought to be conveyed that ths Business Of
the oAice w. as . stand still; thst there
was No one to conduct it; that collectors
could not haad ever the money to the State
bscaass there, wss NO proper official to
settle with, and that Nj. Johnson bad ap-
pointed NO ono to represent him.
These statements are entirely erroneous
and are either infpired By interest or are
the result Of ignorance. II ssxye,tsd BY
any one transactiag bssiness at the Audi
tors Office they are known to be false by
the anthor. By any pns slss their publiosr
tion i malicious, because personal motives
must dictate them and inquiry would show
they were unwazranted. .,...
The law settles this matter. See statutes
OF 1873, chapter 20, ssstisa 2, pags So: ~
Whenever IL shall become necessary, ~
reason Of sickness or otherwise, thAs the
State xioitnf 1h0nl1 be absent from his Of
dce he may dsputize his chief clerk to cot
Auditor johnson il ahsent, sick, and has
leave of absence. Every requisite Of the
above statute, some mot being quoted, has
been complied with. He has properly dep
utissd Kr. Sholtx. the ehisf, clerk, to act in
his abeense. Mr.. 6holts hes perform cd
such duties to The satisfactien Of al dnEing
the absences OF Mr.. Johnson's predecessor.
He ID now Performing them to the sAtisfac-
tion of all who come to the Auditors Office
with An intention to deal a. honestly by
the State - to any other creditor they may
have.
The tax collectors need not "skirmish
around, - the Times says. All they have
to do u to pay to the Stsss the money they
have collscsed. Whether there ars one or
million assistant attorney generals, il
nothing to them. If they have any money
that taxpayers have given them, the Law
requires them to 60 to tho Auditors office
and ssy 20. Then the Law says that money
must 60 into the treasury. When it 60 t.
there this anxious collector win find NO
difficulty in finding . legal official in the
Auditors Office who will give him . quit
tance. So far - the amount named in II
il concerned, it viii be evidence that he ID
an honest man.

KILLING IN OARROLLTON.

A gentleman who left Carrellton last
night gave us the particulars of = ter
rible tragedy than occurred in that city
yesterday evening. The victim was Mr.
Charles Turpin, one of the wealthiest
farmers and most prominent citizens of
Carroll county, and the particulars are
as follows: Mr.. Turpin has been in the
habit, during his visit to the city, of
indulging pretty literally in social
glass with his friends. The dtpaty mar
shal of Carrollton is young man nam
ed Leftwich, who was about eighteen
years of age. About two weeks ago
Iurpin was in town on spree, and
Lettwich arrested him. Since that time
Iurpin has cherished anything but kind
feeling for the officer. Yesterday Tur-
pin came into the city again, and. ac-
cording to his usual custom, induleed
pretty literally in his potation. He
made threats against Leftwich, and as
he became more intoxicated he openly
avowed his intention of killing him. He
went to gunsmith's, purchased revol-
yer and had it loaded Some of Leftwich's
friends heard Turpin's threats and warn
ed him Of his danger. Leftwich shortly
after met Turpin on the street and shot
him instantly. The deceased was the
owner OF one of the largest farms in the
county, having one thousand acres in
one tract, and was also a heavy dealer
in cattle. He leaves a large family. |
Lettwich was married but had no family |
The killing was considered justifiable.-

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The Con-

Is constantly in correspondence with all

have been taken to secure correct intor-

The result of these returns show increas-
ing confidence in the election of Tilden.
The result OF the latest figures received
at the democratic headquarters here
gives Tilden one hundred and ninety
seven votes, twelve more than is neces-
sary to elect. The estimates leave Gov

necessary number. The following in

you have done nobly. When you NOM

ting Adams tor governor you have again
done the wisest thing We be-
speak for the democratic ticket in Mas
sachusetts large Independent vote, with
a strong chance of success. But the eff
feet will appear in every state. 1t will

while the democratic party, lifted out of

tidently asks for popular support 1t
has shown that it deserves success, and
