jCt2T The Board of County Commissioners have adjourned after a session of near two weeks, durini' which time much'bu&iness of importance was transacted.

The topers in New Jersey, says an

exchange, had better quit their cups instanter, the late Legislature having passed a law authorizing the court of chancery to put their property in the hands of guardians, on evidence being produced that they are incapable of taking care of their own property through habitual drunkenness.— While this guardianship lasts, the toper cannot make a will, :-v in any way control his property, and the tavern keeper, grocer or distiller who sells him grog, pays ten dollars for each offence. In short, the law treats an intemperate man as a mad man. Hard times those, for rum-suckers, and they grow wuss and wusscr.

The politicaHvorld likewise feels this influence, and remains comparatively quiet, ft is reported that Collector Brownson has refused to give any appointment whatever to the notorious Isaiah Ilynders, who felt assured of his ability of obtaining a good fat berth in the Custom House. This course pursued by the Collector will give great satisfaction to the lovers of "Lav.i and Order" in this city, and throughout the country. Our elections have too long been ruled by these organized bands of roicdys, led by the Kynders, Austins, and other vagabonds who infest both politic: parlies, letting themselves out for hire to any designing knave, who wishes to secure his nomination to any office, by which he may enrich himself at the expense and confidence of his fellow men. Our city is now groaning under the misrule of men, who have by the encouragement of these desperadoes secured themselves place and position, which their character or ability could never have obtained. These fellows have ever been foremost in demanding all good places within the gift of their respective parties, and generally with success, to the exclusion of good and worthy citizens, whose services have been equally as great, but much more meritorious and thus are obliged to mve wav to the man who can brin^

PAYINO FOR A PAPER.—The Germantown Telegraph very truly says: Except the cash -system is exclusively adopted and rigidly observed, we know of no business in which its bills arc so difficult to collect as subscriptions to a newspaper. This is not because subscribers are unwilling to pay, but is principally owing to pure neglect. Each one imagines that because this year's indebtedness is so small a sum the printer surely cannot be very badly in want of that, without thinking that the fruits of his entire business are made up of exactly such little sums, and the aggregate of all the subscribers is by no means an inconsiderable amount of money, and without which the publisher could not for a single month, continue the issue of his paP^ •••.'* it The Black Swan gave a vocal concert on the 23d of May, at the Stafford House, which was perfectly successful, the remarkable compass of the sable songstress astonishing the nobility gathered to hear her.

The telegraph brings us an account

of the landing of another cargo of slaves in Cuba. It is quite evident that the authoitiesof that island encourage the trafic, and are determined to'set at defiance the treaty obligations of Spain with England. The only way by which the slave trade to Cuba can be broken^ up is by annexing that [island to the United States.

CIRCULAR.

EXBCTTIVJT'DEPARTMENT,) Indianapolis, June 9, 1853. DEAR SIR:—From the numerous^nquiries having been made, and which arc now making^in regard 'to subjects connected with the Swamp Lands of this State, the undersigned, Governor, Secretary, Treasurer. and Auditor of State, deem it expedient to address'lhe following Circular to the Auditors and Treasurers of the various countics, and the Commissioners appointed by the Governor, who are entrusted with the administration of the law. 1. No appropriation has been made by law for the disbursement of funds heretofore paid into the State Treasury by the Land Offices of the general Government for sales of Swamp Lands made subsequent to the passage of the act of Congress donating the same. These funds are only applied to the payment of the incidental expenses of their selections, making the tract books, maps, &c. 2. The money arising from the public sales of any of the Swamp Lands, or by private entry after such public sale, first deducting the necessary incidental expenses and fees of officers, are to be applied to reclaiming all such lands, by ditching, dyking, etc. The funds thus accruing can be applied to those lands only that are sold at the time, and not to the lands remaining unsold. 3. We can see no propriety in authorizing an expenditure of money previous to the sale of any of the lands. If in case the Executive officers were to authorize any such expenditure, claims might be presented for services rendered, the amount of which could not, in all probability, be realized from future sales. The Commissioners and other officers entrusted with the disbursement of the funds arising from these lands, are therefore advised, that, in our opinion, the provisions of the law in regard to ditching and. draining, can be as readily carried into effect, and to better practical purposes, after.the sales are made, as previous thereto. 4. It is especially enjoined upon all officers to exercise the strictest economy in the expenditure of the moneys accruing from the sales of these lands. There will be, doubtless, many counties in which little or 110 expenditure will be necessary to reclaim

In all such cases,

it is desirable that a report of the same be made at as earlv a day as possible, that the money may be immediately invested for the benefit of common schools, as contemplated by the law. 5. Reports of sales in each county having Swamp Lands, either public or by private entry, will be required to be made up to the first day of October, 1853. Blank forms required for making such report, and not already sent, will be furnished and forwarded on application to the Auditor ol State. The County Auditor is instructed to oiler for sale the Swamp Lands in the legal sub-divisions as made out upon the tract book by the Auditor of State.

G. We would also direct the attention of the Countv Auditor, and Treasurer, and the Commissioner of Swamp Lands, to the. following sections of the ftwamp Land act. In addition to the oath required, it is expected that the Commissioner will also execute and file in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court an official bond in a sum vjt exceeding ten thousand dollars, at

to also take and fde an oath in the clerk office of the county, as in the two preceding sections specified, and it shall be the duty of the clerk to file and record the same as in the said sections specified." 7. Ail correspondence on the subject of these lands should be addressed to the Au- nsitt.-r. ditor of State.

Verv respectfully, JOSEPH A. WRIGHT, Governor.

FIRST RAILROAD IN SOUTH AMERICA.—A railroad has lately been put in operation in Chili, the first one ever built in South America, and its success seems to be complete. It runs from Valparaiso to Capiapo, a distance of fifty miles, *and cost but 61.300,000.

The business of the road from the month of February was 840,000 and the expenses are stated to be only 33 per cent of the income. It carries freight at S10 per ton for the whole length, and first-class passengers at §4,30. It is managed principally by Americans, who, since our trade has increased so much on the Pacific coast, are now numerous in Chili.

AWFUL MURDER

The city authorities of New York haver offered a reward bf two thousand dollars for the arrest of one or more fiends, on the? nighjjof the 21st of May, forced from her home, in that city a respectable youn«r lady in the 19th year of her age, violated her person, took her life, and then cast her body into the East river, where it was found and recognized by her parents. Ia recording this dark transaction, the N. Y. Times says

There are now lying under sentence of death in our city prison two men, convicted of the murder of their wives under circumstances of exaggerated brutality. other man is yet to be tried of the same ciime, and we record elsewhere a mostdi-r abolical murder of a young girl, so astounding that ii, reminds us of the murder of Helen Jewett and Mary Rogers, and will produce as much excitement.

Murders of the most brutal character have been very frequent of late in our com-" munity. Hie gallows is but a small impediment to their commission but we certainly breathe freer when a murderer is hanged.

In addition to the two thousand dollars, the Mayor of the city is authorized by the board of aldermen to offer such further sum as he may think proper in the effort to bring to punishment the perpetrators of the bloody deed.

ittUiiDliR OF A WIFE.

On the 8th inst., at West Troy, N. Y., a man named Patrick Manson quarrelled with his wife. A fracas ensued, and he broke her leg with a billet of wood. A physician was called in, set the fractured limb, and was told by the woman that she broke it by a fall. The next morning when lie called to see his patient, the woman lay on the floor cold and scarcely able to speak, and the husband was drunk in bed, lying in a pool of his wife's blood The woman then with great difficulty detailed the circumstances of the quarrel of the preceding day. She died soon after. She was very intemperate, and her husband had confined her to the house for several days, by locking the doors and nailing down the windows. Almost her last act before the difficulty, was to sell the bread tickets for rum

TIIE WAY TO STOP IT*

In Philadelphia, one day lately, a respectable looking man, by the name of Rich* aid Suttle, who occasionally gets drunk, was before Judge Kelley for sentence, having been convicted of an assault and battery with intent to kill. He had stabbed an acquaintance in a fight, in four distinct places. Judge Kelley, in sentencing him,: said: "It
