the place is the . best, all
the influences are good and
we do not know of a more desirable
place to educate the young ladies Of
the south, Among those entered
there for the full course,ii and pro.
crossing rapidly, is Miss Willie Shep-
perd, of Memphis, whose parents died
here in 1878. She is in good hands,
and is pleasantly situated in every
respect. We desire to commend the

A gentleman named Burton, resid-
ing in Ulster county, was immeasura-
bly, surprised a few days ago, on re-
turning from a journey in the west,
when Miss Shoemaker, one of the
neighbor's daughters, threw her love
ly self into his arms before a large
number Of friends of both, and called
him her dear husband. He inquired
the cause of the demonstration, and
she said, archly, hal she was always
sup to his jokes" He said there was
no joke about it that he was aware Of,
and firmly removed the young lady's
arms from his neck. but you are
married TO me-" said Miss S~choonmak

for it." 1t turned out from this GER
tifcate that Miss Schoonmaker told
the truth that Mr.. Burton and she
had actually been married on the 22d
of March, by the Rev. Mr., Scudder,
Of Red Hook. Mr.. Burton, however,
on visiting Mr.. Seudder, was NOT rec.
ognized by that gentleman, though the
recognition of Miss Schoonmaker was
prompt and satisfactory. How to ac-
count for the mystery is the great
question before the people of Dutchess
and Ulster counties now. 1t would
seem that Miss Schoonmaker was
actually married to a person whom she
believed to be Lester Burton, but it
would also seem that Mr.. Burton was
not a party to the ceremony, and he
will, perhaps, show in due season that
at the time Of the ceremony he was in

had not been made by the committee. Will
MIR. Austin state how he will have time to go
to work and make thorough investigation of
the county finances, and report next Monday?
His report will of course be more in the in
terest of the party than the tax payer.
That the Republican management of
the affairs of this county has been
corrupt and dishonest is now no longer sought
to be concealed. A morning paper of that
party in a long article makes this significant
admission:
"For we may as well be candid and speak plainly
In considering this matter and give uttersnce to the
almost unanimous sentiment of the business men OF
our city and county in saying that 1t is the very gen.
eral and openly expressed opinion that IN years past
both the county treasurers and the county auoltors
offices have not been properly, we might say have
not been honestly administered. That thorough
and exhaustive examination, which should bring out
full history of the improper and unlawful practices
in the two offices named during the paat ten OF
fifteen years, would fully sustain the charges OF
official Incompetence and dishonesty, there eau be,
as there is not among the well informed OF this COM
munity, but little If any doubt"
THIS is bad enough for the Republican oihce-
holders of Hennepin county, aud ID doubtless
true; but little further on the same paper says:
Justice to the present occupants Of both those
offices impe Is to say that in the public estima-
ton, their administrations far as the same can be
judged by common report credited with being
entirely honest and free from the incompetence and
blnnderiDg methods Of some former occupants OF
those positions"
The auditor and treasurer are candidates for
re. election, so that paragraph is explained.
They must be elected, no matter at what sacrl-
fee of principle. The report of the convention
states that frauds have been committed with
the knowledge of the men now in office,
and the auditor has already given to the press
instances were he has, without any authority,
made statements of taxes. In fact. the re-
port makes far stronger charges against the
men now in office than against anyone else.
The paper publishing the above extracts has
engaged itself in the landable work of placing
all the wrong upon the officers of the past,
and making the present ones shining lights.
Thinking voters. in the light of recent events,
cannot fail to see the shallowness OF such argu-
ment. 1t will also be noticed that in the last
paragraph quoted the writer does not give his
own deliberate opinion. but says that ''in the
public estimation" the present Officials are
entirely honest" etc. The affairs are get
ting SO we'll exposed that the Republican papers
dare not give it as their own opinion that the
finances of the county are honestly managed
by the present occupants"

The rupture, Tuesday, in the meeting of tho
county commissioners, is still the topic of
conversation with politicians and business
men. Matters seem to be shaping themselves
for general row in the future.
1t is now reported that Commissioner Aus
tin, the member of the COMMITTEE on corrup.
ton" who did not sign the report, will. on
Monday next, present minority report How
does this come? At Tuesdays meeting, the
proper time for presenting this report, Mr..
Austin gave no intimation of such action; but
he did 60 SO far rs to say that while there were
portions of the report which he believed to be
true, yet there were things in it with
which he did not concur, and SO would not
sion the paper. Why did he not say then that
he intended to present minority report? 1t
is plain that the Republicans are alarmed, and
that minority report favorable to their can
al dates for reelection must BE- made. And be-
sides. Mr.. Austin gave as one reason for not
signing the report that proper investigation
