| The question which seems to puxxl,
the supervisors Is in regard to th'
stewardship of the poor farmland it is I
source of real worriment to some Of tht

applicants. each doing his level best ts

to listen to the confident tone which some
OF the applicants assumes dead sure
thing, you know-sure 90 get 1t, There il
sure to be some disappointed candidates.
This poor house stewardship has been
sufficiently discussed, it would seem. to
enable the Board to act inteIigently. but
thus far they seem to be acting on the
principle of zones afraid and the other
darssn't". The question has got to be
met. and as we'll now as anytime.
This afternoon the Board began discus
| sion of the matter. and were still at IL
when we went to press.
A new CON plication presents itself. now,
however, for it is stated that Bailey. the
present steward, has not actually resigned /;
that he has said in private conversation he
intended TON TACT the statement was

appointed to advertise for proposals The
committee did the work assigned; had .
number of applicants; made record

the report that Bailey has not
resigned. If this be so. no vacancy exists
though every member Of the Board SUPP
posed he had resigned.
Among those prominently named tor

as having resigned. are Asa Rutman. of

In the matter of allowing extra compen

gentleman withdrew his bill, as it was
intended to seperate the items. A reso

THE DILLY MURDER.

Tie Cam bridge Chronicle gives the
account of how the Dilley murderer es-
capped trial at this term of the Henry
county circuit court. The case was called
and the counsel for Clement Gallon. the
murderer, argued their motion for . con
tinuance TO the June term, introducing in
support of 1t the affidavit of the prisoner,
in which he swears that O witness. one
Andrew Johnson. was material to the
defense and could not be procured. The
affidavit ayers that Gallon was in LeClaire
on the night of the murder and slept with
Johnson, and that those facts can be
proved by johnson, and thatsthe witness
can probably be procured for the June
term. GALLON hss confessed under oath
in court and otherwise. that he was at
Dilley's hoase and stood guard outside
while others went 10 and committed the
murder, aud every circumstance sustains
the fat that he was there. and not in
LIE Claire thai night and the existence of
this apocryphal Andrew johnson hss
never been hinted at before, during all
of the acquisitions and preliminary exam
inatjons. It was not competent for the
Court to presume it's faisity. and as it
could not then be proven false, the Court
was bound, we suppose, to accept it a.
trpe. and therefore to grant the continu
ance, which vas done.
