A Wise Legislator.

He is successful because he has the
manly courage to rise above all per.

his vote and influence on the side Of
measures which will contribute to
the well-being Of his fellow-men.-
The good of the many, even though
it proves injurious to the interests Of
the few, is the maxim of the wise

The Boston Post makes the follow
ing truthful comment on the result
in California:
THE California election will be
hailed as alRepublican triumph, and
has resulted differently from what
was desirable. But as a test Of the
popular pulseit is Of less significance
than may be supposed. When par
ty lines are straight in that State
the local questions engrafted into the
basis for expression at the polls have
more influence than elsewhere. Ev-
cry conceivable issue is incorporated
into platforms, and nothing comes
up but-thc people have to vote on it
one side or the other. This year the
conditioned things has been more
marked than usual. To deduce from
this election any rule for forecasting
results in other States is impossible,
for California politics and methods
have no parallel anywhere else.

CRooXEDNEss IN FAYErTE-At the
recent term Of the. Fayette Circuit
Court, in the trial Of the cause Of the
county VS.. - Cassaday, late sheriff
Of the county, the fact was developed
that vast amount Of crookedness
had existed in the management of
the county affairs. It appears that
drafts of the county that had been
turned in by the Sheriff for cancella.
ton at his various settlements, with
the commissioners appointed by the
Court to settle with him. had been
distracted from the Clerks office, and
again pnt in circulation, presented
to the Sheriff, and paid the second
time. Like our county, Fayette has
been burdened with Il debt, the ex-
tens of which seems past finding out;
but this suit is beginning to lei day
light.through so2e sery dark trans,
actions. If the suit has no other ei-
feet, it will break up the practice Of
appointing the clerks of the court to
settle with the shoritls. The clerk
issues the drafts, takes the drafts in
upon a settlement of the Sheriff, and
then has the custody of them after
they are turned in, and thus fine
opportunity is afforded for some first
class rascality. In cancelling drafts
the common practice is simply to
write across the face Of the draft, and
it is very easy for an expert to
erase this writing, so that the draft
may again be used. The best way to
cancel is to cut the draft, which will
prevent its being used after cancel.
