A Wrong That Should be Righted

Mr.. Editor: The pay of the Prose.
cutting Attorneys, Circuit Clerks and
County Clerks is made up of fees and
allowances made BY the County Com
missioners. Legislatures are very
careful, and in some cases penurious,
in fixing discretionary allowances,
and expect the allowances to reach
the maximum fixed by law. We all
know the experience, assiduity and
care with which Col. Waggener has
performed the duties of Circuit Clerk
of our county for many years, and
have no hesitancy in saying that he
should be paid reasonable compen-
satiOn for his work, and supposed,
until recently, that he was getting
the maximum of what the law allows,
but find that he is only allowed two
thirds Of the amount. We further
find, upon investigation, that if he
received the full allowance, and could
get all the fees Of his Office, he wonld
not realize as much as competent
clerk in ordinary public business
But about forty per cent. Of the fees
of the Office are not collectable, con.
sequently he does not receive but
little more than half pay. We com.
mend the efforts of our County Com.
missioners to practice economy in
their expenditures, but do think that
their economy should not do injustice
to Il faithful and competent officer.
Justice and equity demand that the
Colonel should be allowed the full
amount fixed by law for his services,
from the time the law went into eff.
feet, and hope our County Court will
do so AT It's next session, We know
that the people will sustain them in
so just and equitable course.
JUSTICE.

Our protectionist exchanges, or

late President Garfield. What do
they think of the following tariff
views Of that gentleman" Duties"
said he, "sAould be so high that our
manufacturers can fairly compete
with the foreign products, but not so
high as to enable them to drive out
the foreign article, enjoy amonopoly
Of the trade and regulate the price as
they please. This is my doctrine of
protection" This, however, does
not appear to be the doctrine of pro.
lection advocated by the Republican
party. a am" further said Mr.. Gar

ultimate free trade" According to
