Silver By the Wagon Load.

A very strong argument in
favor of State repositories could
have been read this morning by
any one who would have watched
the janitors at the building hand
ling the bags of silver that were
shipped to the State treasurer's s
Office.
Fifty-three thousand dollars
was sent up from the sub treas
uryi1 New Orleans to the State
treasury. 1t was all silver and
made many large sacks.
In the first place it cost fifty
three dollars to transport the
money from New Orleans to jack
son. Tt took much handling to
get it to Jackson. Tt took a wag-
on and a good pair of horses to
haul it from the express office to
the capitol, and afterit was landed
at the capitol it required force
OF five negroes about three hours
to move it from the wagon and
staek ii in the vaults Of the
treasury.
To see the negroes handling it
in sacks, like it was rice or meal,
impressed many with the awk-
wardness of the system. jack

An Interesting Point.

The question of whether or not
postage stamps may be classed
as stationery" is involved in
suits filed in the Kinds county
Circuit Court by Col. R. j. Hard
ing, former sheriff and tax col
lector, and w. w. Downing, the
chancery clerk. The suits are
for $400 each, the officials assert
ing they have spent this amount
in stamps during their four
years incumbency. The county
attorney advised the board of
supervisors not to pay the sums
demanded, and the matter will
go to the Supreme Court. This
will, doubtless, be of interest to
the various boards throughout
the State.
