On the I'd of September, 1876, J. R.
Booth was appointed inspector Of the
treasury, and reported under oath a
balance in the treasury Of $21, ,O59.41,
Q notes for $1s3.34, and 2 deeds.
Booth is unquestionably honest and
competent, and no one ever questioned
his Democracy.
On the 26th of March, 1879, John
T. Moore, an honest, competent Dem
ocrat, was appointed inspector Of the
treasury, and he reported, under oath,
a balance in the treasury Of $19, ,529.66.
Now let us look at some Of the Half
Yearly Statements, official documents.
The following balances were found in
the treasury at the times stated:

That Thirty Thousand Dollars.

We pay no attention to Gould's lies,
as no one believes a word he says; but
on Saturday man who is entitled to
respect, asked us how we can explain
why we said there were thirty thou
sand dollars in the Treasury, when in
the same paper there was the sworn
statement of an inspector that there
were only between $1,000 and $12,-
600. The trouble is that we did not
say there was $4,000 in the Treasury
at that time We were told by an Off
Ger who knew, that while the Demo-
cratic party had turned over the affairs
to the Republicans with large in
debtedness, and defalcations amount
ing to many thousands of dollars, that
since that time the Republicans had
got the county out Of debt, and had
as much as thirty thousand dollars In
the Treasury That is the substance
Of what we said. We never asserted,
as fact, that there had ever been that
much of a balance in the Treasury at
one time; yet if we had so stated it
would have been true. The half year.
ly statement at the close Of February,
1873, which was published officially
in the Standard March IA, 1873,
shows the following:
Balance in cash. ........$27, 400 19
| Four notes. S08 81
$2s, ,29s 81
Three deeds and one mortgage.
All the above make over the $50, ,00C
named.
But what has become of all thai
money? The reports of the County
Commissioners from year to year show
where every dollar has gone, except
what Gould and others got from Kee-
nan.

How to be Happy and Long Lived.

First study to acquire a composure
of mind and body. Avoid agitation
Of one or the other, especially before
and after meals, or while the process
Of digestion is going on. To this end
govern your temper; endeavor to
look on the bright side of things (;
keep down, as much as possible, the
unruly passions; discard envy, hatred
and malice, and lay your head upon
the pillow Of charity with all man
kind. Let not your wants outrun
your means. Whatever difficulties
you have to encounter, he not per-
picked, but only think what is right
to do in the sight of him who sceth
all things, and bear without pining
the results. When your meals are
solitary, let your Thoughts be cheerful;
when you are social, which is Letter,
avoid disputes, or serious arguments,
or unpleasant topics. "Unquiet
meals" says ShapCspeare, "make ill
digcstiOns y and the contrary is pro-
duced by easy conversation, a pleas
ant project, welcome news, or a live
ly companion. advise wives not to
entertain their husband with dUmes-
tic grievances about children or SER
wants, nor ask for money, or pro-
pound unreasonable or provoking
questions and advise husbands to
keep the care and veXatiOns of the
world to themselves, but to be COM
municative Of what ever is comfort
ing, cheerful and amusing. Self
government is the best step to health
and happiness.
In this connection the following
suggestions are apropos:
Eat slowly, as If it was a pleasure
you desired to prolong, rather than
duty to be performed as soon as pos
sible.
Don't bring your prCjudiccs, your
dislikes, your annOyances, your past
mlstOrtunes, or future fOrcbOdings q
the table. They will spoil the bcsl
dinner.
Respect the hours Of meals you
have no right to injury the temper
Of the cook, destroy the flavor Of the
viands, and the comfort Of the family
by your want Of punctuality.
Have as much variety in your food
as possible, but not many dishes
served at one time.
Find as little fault as possible with
the food prepared, and praise when
you can.
Finally, be thankful, if you have
no meat, that you have, at least, an
appetite, and hope for something
better in the future.

McPhersOn Hanged.

For several days rumors have been
rife Of the probable lynChing Of ]. f.
Mcpherson II he secured a stay Of
proceedings from the court, but as
there was so much talk we were in
clined to think that 1t was all talk.
1t was noticed yesterday, however,
that great many people were on
our streets who seemed to be en-
gagged In earnest conversation wher-
ever a squad would congregate. In
the evening the streets were alive
with people but very little was said
In regard to the murderers. At about
10 o'clock a body Of masked men,
numbering about sixty persons, took
possession of the public square, and
placed guards around the siaffOld and
throughout the square to keep out
siders from interfering. A portion
Of the crowd then demanded admit
tance into the jail yard and upon re-
fusal Of the jailOr to open the door,
crOwbar was procured and the door
pried open. The Jail guard began
shooting, the fire being returned by
the mob who thengabbed the eguard
and held them until the work was
done. George L. Church who was
acting as death watch, locked the
Jail door at the first alarm and threw
the key under the steps. As the
mob entered the Jail they remarked
to the guard: awe are not here to
breq5 the law, but to fulfill It. That
appeal don't 60" The Jail was then
broken into and Mcpherson taken
out and assisted upon the scaffold,
his shackles still upon his feet, and
the rope was placed around his neck
and made fast over the beam. As
he mounted the sccffOld, he ex-
claimed: "Before God am innO-
