.Mr. .^pi'iicc, tln well known Fountain i-iiiiiity editor, who came to Lafayette in assist Mr. Vuter in a little _'iiiiic by which Keptililiean voles were to be •witched oil'in the interest of the Fred Williams ring, complains of a fresh miir:iite at the hands of the' La Fayette conspirators, who I)ired and then betrayed him. Siealins his paper from the express oflice in ord°r to defeat a righteous ietribntion in tore for them was an unniitiL'Uted outrage, but. not content, with this they last niuht invaded his sanctum uml maliciously pied three or lour columns of reading matter. Then they come back this nioriiinii and carried oil" proof sheets and copy. This outrage was followed by a formal notice from

Messrs. Sparks, Jamison, Barnes and Alien to vacate the premises. Mr. ISpence lias his '..'(lice over ex-Sherill Murdoch's store on the southwest ol the square. The frentlemen above named called on him this morning with the notice to leave. Mr. Spenee bid them delianee and indulged in some rather plain talk touching the piratical purpose for which lie had been brought to La Favette, and iiis unwillingness lobe ined in thai way. He had gone into the movement in good laitli, and had been most shabbily treated. He called at the Courier office this afternoon to state his grievances as follows

On this, the day of August, 1874, personally appeared before the undersigned, who each acknowledge the execulion of the foregoing certificate of incor-

They were very slack iu their pay men is and wanted me to go round and collect. I had to borrow I money of John S. Williams & Son, and they have been very kind to me. There has been some talk ol consolidating willrt the Jourwil, bull never entertained the! idea. To add lo my iron hies a certain

My wife informed me of the facts immediately and 1 went lor him wiiha club. I found his ollice door locked, hut satisfied that he was concealed within I forced the door, and found the terror stricken scoundrel j-ealed oil the lounge with a young girl, lie begged, but I gave him a good heating. He CM-aped from the room and scaling a fence near his oflice, soilghl refuge under a bed iu a private house.

Satisfied beyond a doubt that the JmU'jifu'lmt was to lie used to elect such creatures as. this to oflice, I washed ni hands of the whole attair. 1 have done some very dirty work lor the Democratic party iu my day, but never in all the history of that.'"putrid remini-cence" in tax ridden Fountain .county, have 1 been caught in any business quite so nasty as this. I am done with it. The prominent leaders in this Independent movement have not hesitated to say to me that the whole design of this side issue is to beat the Republican liekel. They do not expect- to elect a single man on the I'eople's ticket, and they know it. 1 would rather starve than to degrade my pen and press to a raid iifce tiiis. My ihaiiks are due to some of your noble minded citizens, whose politics never asked, but who hate a mean thing, and uphold niv hands in repudiating this disreputable alliance. I have voted the

Democratic ticket .for the last time, so help me liod. .1. 11. Si'i'.Nci"..

The Taxes that Hurt. From ill-' Delphi Journal.]

The fcos ami salaries which are paid to ll\e county officers are too high, in the judgment of. everybody, except those who receive the aforesaid fees and salaries. The emoluments of county officers are. regulated by the Legislature. The

County Oommis-ioners have no power lo rohu-t! the pay, but we have ample evidence tn.it in Carroll county at least they have the power to aut/mcnt it. The Republican party has made its pledge to reduce these lees and salaries to a lair and just compensation, and if it sin

islature it will be done. This pledge reads a* follows ''Inasmuch as great abuses have grown up under our present system of fees and and salaries, we demand such legislation as will so reduce and regulate all fees and salaries as will allow no more than a fair and just compensation for services rendered."

Take the oflice of Auditor of Carroll county, for instance, (we cite this ollice for the reason that our familiarity with the compensation of ihe ollice warrants us in making an approximate estimate of its pay) and we find the salary under the law and under the guttapercha ruling ef the Board of Commissioners, up to the 1st of .hint, 1874, is nearly $4,000 per year aside from nd independent of the fern of the oflice, which will amount to enough in addition to pay deputy hire at least. This is too much fifteen or sixteen thousand dollars for four year's service, with no more labor or talent than is required in a county Auditor, is an extravagant price. If we elect Mr.

Barnard as our Representative, we can have every assurance that he will keep In sober while in the Capital, and vote to retd duee the salaries "to a fair aud just com-

eles of association herewith marked. response lo this letter, which I give liltlatum, Ipunvtunt''n. pensation." Jf we elect his opponent, Throat and Chest. For Whooping Cough

.Iourn»l.|

AH parties are agreed in this State,! that sonietliing must be done to reduce

and regulate the salaries of county oflicers. We are decidedly iu favor of pay-! ing each officer a fixed sum quarterly, equal to the value of his personal seivices, the value of this personal service ol the respective officers to be graded -, according lo the business or population of the vaiiotis counties of the State. I Kac.h oflicer should have the selection of! his own deputies, and clerical assistance, at such compensation as shall from time to time be fixed by the Board of Countv Commissioners. Under this plan the people may know exactly what they are paying their officers, and what it costs to run their respective offices. It is local self-government, in a very impoitant matter.

raging News from the T. & SI. L. Hailroail. [From tin* Newport IlooMer Slate.J The Shelby (III.) Lvnilrv of alate date contains the following cheerful news: Jt says we are informed that in railroad circles the project of the pushing ahead to the final completion of the T. & St. I. Air Line R. R. looks more favon.ble now than it ever did before. Contraetor.are here, prominent citizens seem to be-!, actively at work, and it is said that ihe mad will be built to Areola just as soon as a liberal force of men can complete it. From what we can learn, weshould think, although statements similar to the above have frequently been made, that at this' lime the project looks exceedingly! bright.
