Are You Gaining?

If you are gaining little every day be
content. Are your expenses less fhan your
income, so that, though it be little, you
are yet constantly accumulating and grow
ing richer every day? Be content, for as
concerns money, you are doing well. Are
you gaining knowledge every day? Though
it be little by little, the aggregate of tho
accumulation. where no day is permitted
to pass without adding to the stock, VIII be

THE COUNTY SEAT.

Some of the Perry county people
are talking of removeing Their county
seat TO Shawnee, a new town lately
started in the coal fields, in one of the
southern townships. Better locate it
at Junction City, where all the people
Of the county could reach it on about
an equal footing. The county seat
fight will be kept up for the next FIVE
hundred years in that county, and we
believe the tenure of New Lexington
to the honor Of being the seat of justice,
is by no means solid. The removal of
the scat ofjustice from Somerset in
the first place, was next to an act of
official piracy, but the defeated party
were without help.-Marysville Tri-
bune.
The people of Northern Perry have
on objections to having the county seat
moved to Junction City, but the citi-
zens of that place seem to have little
interest in it, or else they have too
many pocket politicians who are led
around by the ear by the New Lexing-
ton ring.
Shawnee will make fight and get
it too ifJunction City does not soon
take hold ofthe matter. Either place
can get 1000 majority over New Lex
ington. There is determination a.
mong the people in general that the
handful of loafers who prowl around
New Lexington shall not monopolize
and control the affairs of Perry Couu.

An. immense Evil and the Remedy.

IAN ounce of prevention IS worth pound
of cure" says the Old proverb. Let us ap-
ply it to temperance. A long line of reel-
lug, staggering ceEdidates for perdit;on,
10000 in number, one after another,
through the year drop out Of sight and
memory. And still the ceath marcn goes
on. Is there any way to prevent it7
Why, certainly. Drunkards grow from
moderate drinkers, drinkers from the un-
taught, or wrongly educated children of
our homes. There is point where the stop
can be put on, and that is in the homes.
Every parent is responsible for the intem-
perance of his child, if he has not by e.
ample and piecept done everything posi-
BILE to prevent it.
fparents would tnke an much pains to
form a pure healthful taste in their chill
dren as they now take, truly though ssome
times uneonscious!y y, to form tast for,stim-
ulant, We should see fewer entering the
path that leads to the drunkards gave.

Greenbackers South.

II astonishes us TO notice how far some
partisan newspapers will 60 in order to
belittle the Greenback movement. A few
days ago the Courier Journal, of Louis
vile, said:-
There is no Greenback party in the
South. There is no Greenback leader in
the South.
And to this the Hon. Blanton Duncan re-
plies. Wesubjoin part of his reply:
As this journal processes to be a great
leader in the Democratic ranks of this
State, as we'll as of the Union, such decla
ration as the above must mean that the
present attitude of the Kentucky delega
tion in the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives, as shown by their vote upon the
Silver and Anti Resumption Bills, is mere
hypocrisy. and done for the purpose of gull
ling the people. Knowing those gentlemen
as do, though not fully in accord with
their views on some other subject, I must
express my thorough conviction as to their
sincerity.
But if the leading Democratic journal
makes such statement and thus attacks
the motives and the action of our delega-
tion, can the Democratic organization ,,oi
Kentucky be considered trustworthy on
this subject? On the separate issue of green
backs, or the financial policy, which our
independent party has advocated, there is
not a doubt that Kentucky would give
100000 majority. Let that paramount and
vital question be raised in Kentucky, and
it would soon be patent that there was q
"Greenback party" Let it be raised in
the South and it will not be question as
to "no greenback leader" but ], 900 of them
will appear fitted to lead the people to f.
nancial relief.
Not only will the Eastern Democratic
press and leaders join in the policy of gold
and National Banks, which the Radical
politicians intend to sustain as unit, bu,
there are to be strong allies thereof in the
Western and Southern Democratic ranks
The method 80 long adopted by Democrat
ic Conventions of making platforms to read
differently North or South will not be sue.
cessful again, for this is an issue upon which
the Democratic and Republican parties are
to be split from center to circumference
With a canvas in Kentucky, the Jnde-
yendent party could to day poll $4,000
votes. 4 the position assumed by the
Courier-J Journal should be :ndorsed by ths
politicians, we could poll 10000. There

Assistant Surveyor l.. II. Pile Is after the
contractors for the repairing Of the protec-
ton Ievee at the lake. He reports to Ad-
ministrator Mccartney that the work Is not
being done in accordance with the stipula-
lions of the contract; that the piles are not
driven down more than sixteen feet into the
bottom of the lake, instead Of twelve, as re-
quired, and in many instances too far apart;
that the sheet-piling Is not Of Pearl river red
cypress, and the planks are not fifteen feet
long, and not driven so that their tops be 81
feet above the level of the top of the Metairie
Ridge; that they are left several feet higher,
and therefore not more than three or four
feet into the ground.
Mr. Pile adds that he has notified the con-
tractors that he would not accept the work
unless done in strict conformity with the
specifications of the contract. The cOntrac-
tors have not the least excuse for their course,
for before they began the work Surveyor
d'Hemecourt took particular care to explain
to them the importance Of the work and the
reason for adopting each and every item OF
its construction, and gave them positive
warning that unless they adhered strictly to
the terms of their contract he would surely
withhold his approval from their bill.
