In IS counties the expenditures exceed

Courier Journal
Ths term "pauper counties" is applied
to those counties that draw from the State
treasury more money than they pay into
it. An examination of the Auditors re-
port shows that Fulton county paid into
the treasury Sl,O94,l2 more than it drew
out, and MeCracken SI,l87,5S 1t is the
fashion to charge the Purchase counties
with being "paupsr," but when we do
"puIl over the line" the Conrier-Journal
should give US proper credit.

Garrick's character was by no means
perfect. Many faults were laid TO his
charge; and among others was his fond
ness of flatterv. Murphy, to whom
Garrick had given loan upon loan Of
money, accuses him of meanness. This
charge, however, has been proved to be
as unjust as it was ungrateful- On one
occasion Murphy was asked MS opinion
of Garrick He replied: ''Of the stage,
sir. he was mean, 5neaking fellow; but
on the staSe"-throwing up his hands
and impossible to described"
Mrs. Give was che night standing at the
wing; alternately weeping and scolding
at Garricks acting; and turning away In
anger. she exclaimed: 81 believe he
could act a gridironl" Once, at a splen-
did tlinner-party at Lord IS they sud-
denly missed Garrick, and could not i'm
aoine what had become of him, until
they were drawn to the window by the
convulsive shrieks of laughter of a young
negro boy, who was rolling ON the ground
in an ecstacy of delight to see Garrick
mimicking turkey-cock IN the court
ward. with his coat-tail stuck out behind,
and in a seeming hutter of feathered
rage and pride. In Lear" Garrick's
very stick acted. The scene with Corde-
liza and the physician, as Garr1ck played
it. was ineffably pathetic. The anathema
in this play exceeded all imagination; it
electrified the audience with horror.
The words "Kill-kill-kill" echoed the
revenge and inpotent rage of frantic

stock RItled By Railroads.

An amendment to the law in regard to
the appraisement OF stock killed or crippled
by railroads, has passed one house in our
Legislature, and elected considerably dis
cussion. Mr.. Poston. Of Hardin, the az
thor of the bill, supported it because, said
he, under the workings of the law as it now
stands the appraisements are not generally
fairly made He never knew of case in
which the railroad was represented at the
assessment, their interest being the highest
possible valuation, so as throw plaintiffs in
to the costs on the final trial; but il the APP
praisement be fairly made, and the report
be made prima facie evidence of the value
of damages and the report sustained by all
evidence, the plaintiff will recover the as
sessed value of his stock and the Is per cent
damages now allowed, thus carrying into
effect the ostensible purpose of the statutes,
which now operate in favor Of the railroad
and against the people, If this amend
ment should be lost, the interest of the peo-
pie would demand the repeal of the entire
appraisement law, which is u delusion and
Il snare

PINK COTTAGE.
Death OF the Fai.n Cure.

b. Van Arsdale in Danviile Advocate.
The Pink Cottage Faith Cure, after a
short life OF about six months, expired;
died on the S0th day of November, 1881.
Brief was it's life--soft its pangs of death,
and it is no more. But for whatever of
religious good may have been done; what
ever of blessings may have ceen confer
red; whatever of cures may have been
made, if any, we say-"Praise the Lord !"
If however, no good has been accomplish
ed: no blessings conferred; no cures per-
formed; we rather pity than censure. or
the many afflicted thar have come and
gone (some TO their long homes) who
were piously seeking relief or expected
TO be healed, for dying men will catch al
straws," but few, if any, have been ben
Gifted; although our good sisters at Pink
Cottage in their great zeal to DO good,
were equally sanguine of being able TO
give and extend the relief which never
came, aud many were the disappointments.
And from reliable information we have
upon this subject, we don believe sim
gle cure was effected at Pink Cottage that
would not have been made by the services
OF a physician or n visit to any healthy
watering place as we'll; consequently,
Pink Cottage Faith Cure" in its essen
tial features, has proved 10 be failure.

Corruption at Frankfo.t.

Mr.. Gaines, editor OF the Paducah b.
tsrpTise, who was candidate for Pubic
Printer, in reference to the result Of tie
election says:
Had we been elected to the office-ard
we would have been bat for the liberal
use Of money on the other side-we would
have filled The position according to the
provisions OF the law.
Ii this means anything it means that
members Of the Legislature, friends Of
Mr.. Gaines, were bought by the success
full candidate This is a grave charge
And the charge must also only apply to
the Democratic members, because the State
Printer elect was chosen by Democratic
caucus, in which the Republican members
had no participation. Mr.. Gaines stands
before the people Of the State as rspu.
table, truthful gentleman, aud some SO Of
these Democratic le gislators endorsed him
as such by voting for him for State Print
er. How then can the Democratic mem
bers OF The present Legislature rest under
the charge from man 50 endorsed as
gentleman of truth aud Teracity. Tn,
charge is made in eyident earnsstntss
and the Legislature should Investigate
its truth or falsity. Mr.. Gaines, hims III
owes it to the people TO submit the charge

II
Senator Beck is warming things NJ, In III
United States Senate. when tho bin pen.
sioning the Union soldiers OF the civil wa,
was passed, il was agreed that the whole u
preparation would not amount to $4,000
| 00J, but the demand under the bill for the
last year footed up Sl25,O00,00 ). Repnb
licans and democrats, voted for this enor.
nous appropriation for political effect and
under party pressure, many OF them from
denagoguery, and few OF them understo God
what fearful tax il would prove on the
people. Bub whether they knew or not
neither the Republicans or the Democrats
just on the eve OF great national election
could have afforded to put their party on
record against pensioning the soldiers, and
so democrats and Republican alike voted it.
In the Senate last week, Mr. Beck, said;
would promptly repeal the Arrears OF
Pensions act. Il was conceived in sin
and brought forth in iniquity. Il is a
fraud upon the American people and a
standing monument to the ignorance
selhshness and cowardice of the A naeriean
Congress. Senator Ingalls, rose TO- day
and said that he had introduced in the
Senate the Arrears of Pensions bill that
he was Chairman of the committee on
Pension when that bill was passed and he
challenged the statement of Senator Beck
concerning 1t, aud for the purpose of
bringing the sabjee. directly 40 an. stte,
ton of the Senate and of the country he
offered a resolution declaring that in the
opinion of the Senate the Arrears of Pen =
sions act ought not TO be repealed. He
minated his purpose 10 press the resOlu-
tion TO a vote at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Mr.. Beck asked for little delay
70 enable him TO prepare the proofs of his
assertions touching the bill. Senator
Beck says this evening that lie will very
soon give 10 the Senate and 10 the country
the reasons for the faith that IS ia him
concerning this expensive measure which
has opened the door to stupenjous frauds.
Intelligent discussion of this subject Is
imperatively needed. Sl25, 0000, 900 are
this year required on he pension account,
exactly one third of the enormous rev
enues collected By Federal taxation from
the people last year. II will nearly swhl
low up the enormous surplus revenues OF
the Government for the current fiscal
year. II IS about twice the interest on
the public debt. 1t is claimed by all of the
/ friends of the Arrears of Pensions act thai
the law is in the nature Of contract and
/ is irrepealable nd that the huge finance
leakage which il permits is beyond the
reach of Congress. Evidently Senator
| Beck does not share this belief aud evi
/ IDENTITY also an attack is about TO be made
/ upon the law Itself as we'll as upon thu
! fraudulent details of its operations. The
/ language of Senator Beck on Tuesday con
/ corning the measure was sufficiently rigor
/ Gus to kindle the lively attention of the
( friends Of the perpetuation of this methoC
