ST LOUIS. March l7.-An editorls

fifty dollars per day.
Most of this money he sends to biz
publisher, Gibson, who il getting oul

He has also given some money to bis
sister for things she sent him Last week
he sent 500 to Scnvile, his LAWYER

GENERAL RosEcRANs' and GARriELD's 8

GENERAL RosEcRANs' and GARFIELD
friends are having q war Of words over
the Tullahoma campaign of 1863. In q
letter to Hon. S. P. CHASE. GARFIELD.
who was RosEcRANs' Chief of Staff,
complained of the insctiyi.y of the
army. Bnt 10 RosEcRANs, it is on re-
cord, that GARrIELD had no complaints
to make and was always In accord with
his plan Of campaign. In 1854, in Con
grees, GARFIELD cDm5atted a resolution
to compliment "Pap" THOMAS at Rose
GRAMS expense, and in letter to RosE-
GRAMS, written after the CHASE letter
GARFIELD warmly defended him and bis
campaigns. Again, at the Republican
National Convention held In Baltimore
il 1854, GARFIELD telegrsphed Rose
GRAMS that the Wee Presidency was al
his command. "RosEY" telegraphed tc
use his name, but Secretary of Wal
STANTON. it is alleged, suppressed the
telegram All these things pitted against
the CHASE letter, causes the latter to sinl
into utter insignificauCp.

LONDON, March l5.-rhe Times in an
editorial says: War between Austria
and Russia is always possibility, but
at present there is not, We trust, serious
peril. The establishment OF a Servian
Kingdom under Austrian auspices is an
important guarantee of peace; nor is
the Sclavonic storm likely yet to break
upon Germany. We have reason to he.
lieve that Bismarck has no fears in that
direction, and he neither expects attack
nor intends to strike"
A Berlin correspondent saws the Rms

Courts have been instructed 10 tender

they are accredited demonstrative as.
suraEces that the Gar is firmly resolved
to maintain amicable relations with
Germany.

Rellnirs Namocrat

There Is considerable agitation over in
Monroe county, and great diversity OF
opinion, concerning a bill introduced In
tue Ohio Senate by Senator Pearson, "by
request, to transfer the present surplus
dog fund in the treasury of that county
to the Agricultural Society of the county,
to improve its grounds and pay of its
Indebtedness. As is we'll known, accord
ing to the present law the surplus dog
tax is transferred 10 the school fund oi
the county. In most cases that would
be proper enough where the fund is moi
needed to promote the agricultural in
teEests OF the county. Monroe, like
every other county in the State needs
more good farmers and less schoo
teachers, there being at present about al
average of three for every school tber,
is There is no hetter way to msA,
good farmers and Improve and benefi
the agricultural interests of count,
than by having county fairs, wher,
people can come together, examine th'
stock and products exhibited, and learl
how they are improved. The dog tal
is levied in the first place for the benefi
of farmers, and if there is any surplu
Of it left after paying for the sheel
killed and injured, we do not see how
could be better applied for the farmer
benef; than by helping the agricul,ura
society Of their county Monroe county
does no. need aay more school fun'
than she has. at present II she hsC
more it would only produce more o
what every county in the State Of Ohi,
has already too manv of-school teach
ets who ore only teaching for the pur
pose while doing so, to study either Law
medicine Or theology. Let Monroe ant
every other county have more goot
farmers, and less school teachers Of th
class We have referred 10 We shuul
perhaps add that last year Monroe Co.
received from the State Common Schoo
Fund S13 933 05, of which SS,3l4 l
was paid by the other counties OF tn
State After receiving that much fror
other portions of the State, we are sur
pris,d that any OF the citizens of Mon
roe county should obi ct TO taking

that county to b neIit the agriculture
interests of the county, and which woul
