1t will be seen by the above
report that the revenue for the
three quarters or nine months
exceeds the current expenses
by the sum of s5oo5.37 and the
reason why there is not money
in the treasury is because there
was a large amount of scrip is
sued justices of the peace and
others of which we could find
no record and which was paid
in for taxes due. 1t was there
fore impossible to place this
to the debit of the coun-
ty. We would state that in adj
dition to s5oe5.37 used to pay
prior indebtedness there is still
about $500 of back indebted

BOURBON NIENDaCIrY,

The editor of the Washington REPUBLICAN
sends us a marked copy Of what it has to say
about the ThgiHiaa.-Ly,chJmg Tiyirian.
1t appears from the above that the J'iI-
giaioa does not "despise the day of small
things for it lies about trilling matter
with the same facility that it would about
one of more importance. 1t makes direct
and unqualified charge against the editor of
the Washington REPUBLICAN which has not
the slightest foundation in fact. lie has
not sent the editor of the Viyinian "a
"ma,ked " copy of what it has 10 say about the
"FUgiRidn," and that charge adds another to
the deliberate misrepresentation the Tir-
giRidn has made Of q personal character re-
lating TO the editor Of the REPUBLICAN.
If the VirgiRidR thinks this course one that
is calculated to elevate it in the respect OF
its cotemporaries we are not disposed to
interfere with its programme. The VIgiRidr
has given provocation for all the differences
that have occurred between itself and The
REPUBLICAN,. 1t assaulted Senator BRUCE
as "the colored barber and accidental Sen
"atOr," who has for his private secretary q
man who was a fiery Secessionist in 1861 ;
and who was transformed in 1865 into {
low radical politician, sounding the depths
" of political and all other kinds of iniquity. ,
As no such person was the private secretary
of Senator BRUCE the statement was {
calumny upon him as q man and a Senator
which elected stern rebuke. Since ther
the PHgiaim has INDUCED in repeated
venomous, lying, and calumnious assaults
upon the editor of this paper. This is
brief abstract of the case. One thing the
VHginian may depend upon-whenever il
indulges in calumny toward Republican
Senators it will hear from THE REPUBLIC
CAN. 1t will allow no Confederate or Bour
bon lie or abuse to go unrebuked.

narrowed down between two parties, the Demo

THE Plttsburg Post has always been able te stand
pretty strong doses of Bourbonism, but Blackburn's
sickening cant has turned its stomach. II says
"The Kentucky hOtspur has neither helped the
cause nor added to his reputation by the speech"
"GArH' says that he was last summer told by
John O. Hamilton that II was the purpose of Alex.
ander Hamilton to beat Jefferson with Washington
as a candidate for n third term, but that Washing
toms death prevented the carrying out of the
scheme.
THE Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Inter ocean thus sums up the whole matter
"iTwenty-scven loyal States furnish 2G9 Senators
aud Representatives, of whom 81 were Union sol
dlors. Eleven dlsloynl States furnish 03 Senators

THE DEVELOPING COALITION.

The Democrats of the House of Repre-
senatives in caucus on Wednesday last made
substantial confession to the world that they
had surrendered on the matter of general
legislation to the Greenbackers, in consider
alton, undoubtedly, of their having chiefly
betrayed their constituents in voting for
the army bill with the Democratic rider.
1t may as well be understood by the people
that one of the most corrupt coalitions ever
known to our history has been entered into
between the Democrats and majority Of
the Greenbaclsers in the House upon the
basis, first that the Greenbaclers shall vote
with the Democrats on their programme,
which is not to stop until the last vestige of
our war measures are wiped from the stat
ute book, and shall perform any other SER
vice required of them by their Democratic
allies in the interest of Northern and West
ern subiugation to Southern domination ;
second, in return for this political seryitude
on the part of the Greenbackers the soft
shell Democrats-and they are majority
of that body in the IIouse-hoye agreed
to favor general legislation and open the
door to q flood of the most pernicious mon
etary schemes and plundering jobs yet dis
covered outside Of n lunatic asylum. DE

ings, until he had made all peoples and all
classes happy, stands to the front. The ma
tional banks are to be moved against madly
under the Greeuback lead until the last
vestige of them are wiped out of existence.
For that matter there is TO be general
wiping out Of war measures, banks and
banking, national bonds and bondholders,
and, in fact, everything that stands in the
way of this double-headed coalcsccd
craze, This thing viii run wildly
and wicl,ety against the general
business interests of the country,
during the life time of the Forty-sixth Con-
gress, when Democrats and Greenbackors
alike will be wiped out and swept by the
tide Of popular disgust into hopeless mi
nOrity once more, where they belong, ana
where they will be harmless until the peo-
pie forget their oileuses and grant them im-
munity again The worst enemies the ma
tion has ever had have coalesced at this
Liuucture in the interest Of mischief, for they
have proposed nothing yet in the interest OF
the public welfare, but have resolved TO tear
down the Constitution ana he laws enacted
for its enforcement on the one hand, ana
make wild foray upon the general miSi-
ness interests of the country on the other
thus unsettling everything aua carrying
dismay and discontinue to every branch OF
trade, commerce, and manufactures in the
land. This will be the upshot of this coa-
lition. Let the people watch it closely.

sanitary Imporrections of Our Public Build

lnks.
TO me Editor of the National Republicans:
SIR In connection with the report of Health
Officer Townshond, which appears in your ably
conducted journal of this date april 10), call
ing attention to the Sanitary imperfections of
our public buildings" allow me to suggest that
the recent reply of tho Commissioners Of the
District TO protest of some of the leading
architects of Washington as TO tho rules gov
erniug the use of competitive drawings, and
plans, &C., for school buildings to he submitted,
is germano to the subject. If it be necessary
to employ architects at all, and this the Com
missioners concede by inviting competition, then
surely IL Is only honorable and fair to make
some compensation for the use Of the ideas as
set forth in such architectural plans.
If the Commissioners employ lawyer for
any legal purpose whatsoever, even merely to
givo an opinion, such employee has claim for
service rendered.
| So, If any specialist should be employed, but
an architect seems to be in the opinion of many
people, aud especially in that of carpenters, an
Unnecessary evil in the community, only fit to
| resort TO as n last cXpedient, genus homo with
out any claim of any kind for fair play.
Why men ia this profession alone, | say 1t
advsedly, should DO expected to give the
,s,:...s y-;:.s of hard study, expenditure o. :.m";
money and ingenuity, to the community Tor
no consideration at all, is incomprchcnsible to
the ordinary mind.
The case might be different If the fact were
that men who build even generally employed
an architect, but thousands do'not employ one,
not even to draw plans. If architects were
employed more frequently then the immunity
might perhaps in such II case us this ask, as q
favor, that they be public-spirited enough tC
give thoir plans for no return compensation.
1 am respectfully, n public school graduate.

IT is simply a question of taste with our
local militia whether they will carry the
Union flag or not. And out of respect for
the prejudices of the loyal people Of this
community, it would appear that they ought
to carry it. To be sure, it would wound the
feelings of a certain class of intensely re-
spectacle citizens, and it may be that sub
serviency to those feelings is the proper
thing-ior feelings, sensitive feelings at that
are supposed to be Of more account than q
mere prejudice.

THE Senate is very peculiar body-a
dignified body, and very apt to be given to
technicalities, hair-splitting, and the entan-
clements of legal alembics, so to speak. But
il is worthy of note that none of these Pc
ouliarities have ever been permitted to in-
terfere materially with the voting strength
of the Democratic membership in that body.
In the current case Of Senator BELL, of New
Hampshire, the exhibition of Democratic
generosity and technical adherence to al
legged principles, for example, can have no
direct effect upon that strength. 1t must
be admitted, however, that Senators BAY
ARD and JONES (of Florida) have eyinced a
quickening of conscience and an honesty OF
purpose which is as commendable as it is
rare on that side of the Chamber.
