o. Il. Bachelor, Esq. has another letter
In the Arson Advocate relative to county
finances, In which he succeeded In discov-
ering one error in the accounts Of the
clerk of courts that was overlooked by
the county commissioners In their settle
ment with him. 1t is a charge for index
ing Vol. 20 Of records, $40, and appears
in precisely the same words and for pre-
cisely the same amount In two places
both charges being made within few
days of each other. This shows beyonC
question that 1t was simply a repetition
by mistake, such as may happier
once In a while even to careful men. II
it hsd been put into the account to de
ceive, the words and figures in the two
places would not have been made identi
cal. This discrepancy will. of course, be
corrected and the money refunded by Mr..
Branerd, and would have been had il
been discovered by some other person, as
it probably would have been sooner or
later. But we are willing to give Mr.
Bachelor full credit for this discovery
particularly as he has been long time at
work upon county finances without other
results.

The election of Gen. Isaac Dyer as De

handsome vote was tribute to his

The Louisiana Lottery is staggering
under the blow given 1t by the decision OF
the United States Supreme court sustain
ing the law which drives lottery literature
out OF the mails. 1t was Republican
Congress that passed the beneficial law
which has compelled the Louisiana lot
terry to 90 out of business. All good
citizens should bear this in mind.
The annual reunions Of the New Eng
land departments OF the Grand Army
show no waning of interest in that or
ganization. Pleasant as occasions of re.
union, important as business bodies, the
gatherings have been thoroughly enjoy.
able and productive of much good to the
members. New England is sure to be
well represented at the National Encamp
ment at Washington.

The Republican party can win the pres

Republicans will not take the dissppoint-

in such way as to cause them to relax
effort, but rather will it cause them to put
forth the greater effort, necessary.
