SAM MCKIK,

of Kentucky, in

hfo protest against allowing J. D. Young, bis late competitor, his sent in Congress, alleges that Young, himself, "joined tie rebel army in 1861, and was a candidate for Colonel of a regiment in the same." This looks bad for Mr. Young.

In another column we publish a commuricatfon from "Vigo," oh county expenditures. Every person who knows anything about the conduct of a newspaper knows that it is the rule

to publish

all communications written by responsible parties, and respectable language, sad when a party feels wronged or aggrieved thereby, on demand, to furnish the author's name, or assume the responsi bllity of not doing so. We say this is *Aa rule

with all newspapers, and the one by which we are governed.-

Ho*.H. D. WABBScnur, our member of Congress, has succeeded, after some parliamentary strategy in pecuring the adoption, by the -House of .Representatives, ol the, following resolution on the subject of the qualification if voters:

Retolved,

That the Committee on the

Jadictary be instructed to inquire whether under the Constitution Congress has power to prescribe the qualifications of voters in several States, and if they deem it expedient, report a bill prescribing the same.

SXVXBAl of the most prominent British Statesmen have profitably studied the institutions of the United States, and have made their mark by so doing. Some have crossed the Atlantic to witness with their own eyes the practical working of them. Mr. Bright, who has become a powerful leading man in England, is a great admirer of our country and government. Mr. Cobden, Lord Norp'eth aiid other public men of Great Britain tuit^d America and returned full of useful afad practical ideas. ,.At present the Hon. Thomas Cave, member of Parliament for Barnstable, is here with a view of studying our institutions. He has taken advantage of Congress being in sessioh to go to Washington before proceeding jte other central and interesting points. *At the capital he will see out of what sort of materials our leading publio men are made. For instance, there is gruff old Ben Wade, President of the Senate, and next in succession for the White House, should Mr. Johnson die or be removed, and. besides, a prominent candidate for the President's office the next term. He, like President Johnson, camo up from the humblest station in life— from being a hard working day laborer to his present position. A thorough radical blunt and uncompromising, hjs sympathies are with the working classes, from which ho sprang. He is a strong and bittor partisan and a good deal of a leveller. Mr. Cave will see in him one of the natural products cf our demooratio institutions. In Thad Stevens he will flud another representative man. Wade is the typo of the new Western States, iJtevens of the radical ideaB of the old Middle Stutcs of the Atlantic border. They stand upon much the same platform, and are alike in many respects, Wade, however, is jolly, with all his liluntness, while Stovens is cynical.— In Charles Sumner tho British al. will see a brilliant sophomoro, overflow, ing with theories and pretty speeches, without any of tho substance of statesman. Ho ia the representative man of.New England word-learning and literary egotism. Though much more highly educated than Wade-.and men of that stamp, he ia neither us practical nor a" influential.

With all the crochets and peculiarities of our public men, particularly of that large class of them who are properly callod self-made men, Mr. Cave will find that there is a strength of oharacter, earnestness and breadth of view among them that the statesmen of monarchini countries seldom have. Look for oxample, at that sphinx of the age—as

Punch

calls him—

Disraeli, a lineal descendant of Judas Is cariot—look at tho precious muddle into which he and the other members of the Derby Cabinet have got things. This great leader of British statesmen is utterly befogged, and has befogged both the administration and Parliament. The fact is, he ioes not see his way clear how to satisfy tho democratic ideas of the day upon the.foundation of monarchini and aristocratic institution". Ours is the only true and groat constitutional government in the world. Perhaps Mr. Cava will learn whilo hero, the principlos which are at tho bottom of such a government, and will enlighten Disraeli and the British Parliament on his return. This country is now the school in which British statesmen should graduate.

County Affairs.

EDITOR

EXPRESS: I

continue this

morning the examination of certain expenditures of this county which the people are compelled to pay by taxation.

and jfave months oommencing .March

garde the Clerk*i fees to

S. & ——.

now call the attention of the publio to a careful comparison of the fees which have been received in former times by Clerks ot this couoty, from the County Treasurer, and the fees received by the present incumbent, R. H. Simpson, Ksq. And here desire to say that 1 make ibis examination with no spirit of malice towards any one, but so that some one may give some explanation on such facts as

shall pre

sent. I find that during the administration -of Mr. Noble for fwrttm

years h8 was aU

lowed o*« hundred dollars p«r annum from the county Treasury, as extra compensation.

I find that during the administration of Andrew VVitkins of eight years he was allowed a similar sum.

I find tb&t Joseph H. Blake for four years, commencing March 4th, 1861, and ending March 4, 1865, received the sum of $519,00 for extra service and other work performed for the county.

And that K. H. Simpson for fit® years

166&r and ending Jon* let, 1867, haa revived trom

the County Treasury for

eimilar service $1,539,89. Now, the law In one

particular,

pud ou

County Treasury has been amended since term expired, that is in this: It now allows the Clerk $3 per day for each day in attendance on the Court. At least the law as passed«me time in 1864 or 1865 is so construed, although I understand oar County Commissioners take issue with the Clerk even on this pointSot I -shall not stop here to qaestion that'law. I propose to give Mr. Simpson the full' benefit of it and that to the forthcrest extent. In two yeazaand tbrw month* there have been eMm terms ot

the Common Pleas Court

of four weeks each, and allowing that the Court sit every day would make 168 days gt$3....„ $594 40 There have been five

terms of the

Circuit Court of three weeks each, and allowing that the Court, sit every day, would make 90 days at $3 Allowing now the $100 per annum for extra services as allowed the old Clerks

fcSsK'

270 00

225 00

Which would make $986 40 We see that Mr. Simpson has so far drawn $1,5^9 80. What then makes up the balance of $540 49, that is the question We would be pleased to have some gentleman who is versed in the law to inform us fully on this poiot. 1 present Herewith two accounts which were paid in April last, and allowed by Judge Thompson. which may give somu light on the subject. 1 number tbeoi 1 and 2.

R. W. THOMPSON, Judge.

With ell due respect I would enquire of Judge Thompson— 1st, Where is the law to be found for making the allowance of the item of $15 for making the manuscript of the Bar Docket the $38 50 for issuing 77 Grand Jury subpoenas, and the $35 for the 70 certificates &c., and also for the entire amount as charged in account No. 2. 2d, If the law allows tho present Clerk for such service, to be paid out of the County Treasury, is not C. F. Noble, the estate of Andrew Wilkins and Joseph H. Blake entiled to these fees 7

These are questions that we should be pleased to have answered by the Judge if not incompatible with his position.

Now a few words in reply to the Jour nal of Saturday last. I desire to say in reply to that article that this controversy first commenced by a communication in that paper signed -'Citizen." Certain questions were asked about fees and salaries of County officers. I answered "Citizen" and told him where he could get his information. This led to one or two other communications from me in which I spoke freely about certain expenditures and then asked "Citizen" to tell me some thing about certain other items of expen dituro. These ai tides appeared to tickle the Journal wonderfully, so much so that most of my communications were republished by it and commended to its readers. As long as I spoke froally of "Radical expenditures" as it was pleased to call them, all well enough, but when on Friday last I gave some information in regard to the item of "books stationery and printing," and produced an account of. that paper, their corns grow tender and presto

change comes over tho spirit of their dreams." I desire now to call the attention of the Journal to one or two items of its account. 1st it charges $614,40 for publishing the delinquent list for 1866.— You explain by saying the law allows 60 cents por line vory well, your account says 804 lines this, then, at 60 cents would make $482,40. Now what is the balance of the $135 charged for As regards the item of $25,00 per ream for As* lessor's blanks, that may be all right, but I will agruo to enter into bonds with approved seeurity, to furnish all the County and City want for the next five

years

at $12 per ream, and consider it a good fat job: I challenge the officials to accept that proposition.

Now a question for the Journal. Please inform us how Mr. Cornwell got over $6,000 more fees for two years and nine months service than Allen did for four years and six months "service as County Auditor. Did Allen get his foes ordia Mr, Cornwell get too much Come, now, yon will have a chance to ventilate the reeords of these two ex-offlcials.

As to the allusion of my being a broken down politician with gloomy forebodings and disappointments, &c, that is all clap-trap, and can't phrases that old politician* usually throw at their adversaries. That is not argument, nor do thry at all moet tbe issues involved.— They do not explain facts and figures, and I can assure the gentlemen that they do not apply to me in the least. Tho shoe does not lit. have always got every office I aske.1 for and more,

and that my

abition was long ago satisfied in the fullest so far as office is concerned—that I have not been in a political meeting or caucus, public or private, for several year#, nor have I any ambition to dabble in the political pool, or ever occupy an office again, nor have I any political enemies to punish, nor have I any quarrels or matters to settle with any former political enemy fully satisfied to occupy the humble position I do, and earn a living by a more pjeasant and agreeabln calling. Can the

Journal

editor say as

much But with all this shall a citizen be denied the right in a respectful manner to discuss the affairs of his country, to speak in gentlemanly terms ofthose things of so great a public interest, and which so vitally interests ibis over-taxed and oppressed people. Shall the meohaniu in bis shop, and the hard toiling farmer who works from, early dawn to the going down of the sun, and pour their hardearned means into the public coffers, for the support of the government be denied tbe*right of free speech and a free exam* inatSon of the public accounts without insult, or must they bow low, and like a whipped Spaniel who gets down at the feet of their master, and say "it is all for the party and the party's good." Por one who has ever paid his taxes to a cent, I can say I cannot and. will not stand in silence and see this, extravagance of the public money, and if the public shall be benefitted uy by what I may have said, it is all I can ask.

Scene in Chnrek—He Yonng Man wko Desired to be Wed.

The latest innovation In the usage

Sad

custom of the Established Church of Scotland, is the celebration of marriage publicly in church publicly in church before the congregation, instead of privately at the residence of the parties, the former mode it is .alleged, b«ing in conformity with the directory or public worship, and the ancient practice of the Presbyterian Church. Apropos of this innovation, tbe following incident may be related. It probably occurred in the ancient times referred to, but the dates is not material. The afternoon service had ended, and the congregation were arranging themselves for the benediction, when, to the manifest interest of the worshippers, the good parson descended fieom the pulpit to tbe desk below, and said in a calm, claar voice: "Those wishing to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony will now please come forward"

Still no one stirred. Tbe silence be» earner almost audible and a painful sense of awkwardness among those present was felt, when a young gentleman who occupied a vacant seat in the broad isle during the service, slowly arose and deliberately walked to the foot of tho altar. He was good looking and well dressed, but no female accompanied his travel. When he arrived within a respectful distance of the clergyman he pausud with a reverend bow, stepped to one side of tbe aisle, but neither said anything nor seemed at all disconcerted at the idea of being married alone.

The clergyman looked anxiously around for the bride, who, he supposed, was yet to arrive, and ac length remarked to tbe young gentleman in ari undertone: "The lady, sir, is dilatory." "Tea,

sir."

CLERK,

Da.

"Had vou not better defer the ceremony?" "I think not." "Do you suppose she will be here soon?" "Me, Sir," said the young gentleman, "how should I know the lady'9 movements?"

A few moments were suffered to elapse in this unpleasant state of expectancy, when the clergyman renewed his interrogatories "Did the lady promise to attend at the present hour, sir'!" "What lady?" "Why, the lady, to ho sure, that you are waiting for.'' "I did not hear anything about it," was the Unsatisfactory response. "Then, sir, may I ask you why you are here, and for what purpose you thus trifle in tho sanctuary of the Most High said the somewhat enraged clerical. "I came, sir, simply because you invited all those wishing to he united in the holy bonds of matrimony to step forward and I happened to ontertain such a wish I am very sorry to have misunderstood you, sir, and wish you a vory good day."

The benediction was uttered in the solemnity of tone very little in accordaoce with the twitching of tbe facial nerves, and when, after the church was closed, the story got among the congaegation, more tban one girl regretted that the young gentleman who really wished to be united in the holy bonds of matrimony had been obliged to depart without a wife.

Charles Dickens Sees a Vision. Mr. iPickens relates in All the Fear Round

the story of a strange coincidence,

^having almost a supernatural character, which recently occurred to himself. It is contained in a note which he appends to an orticle by a contributor, who advances some new theories with regord to spectral appearances, and tells the famous stories of Lord jLyttleton (with somo additions not hitherto published), and of Lord Ty rone and Lady Beresmrd. Remarking on the latter Mr. Dickens thinks that natural explanations are sufficient t»nd, in illustration of "the broad margin of allowance that must always be left for coincidence in these cases,^"•lis the following siugular story "We dreamed that we were in a large assembly, and saw a lady in a bright red wrapper, whom we thought we knew. Her back being towards us, we touched her. On loking round, she disclosed a face that was unknown to us, and, on our apologizing, said pleasantly '1 am Miss N—,' men* tioning a name not the name of any friend or acquaintance we bad, although a well-known name. The dream was unusually vivid, and we awoke. On tbe very next evening we recognized (with a strange feeling), coming in ut tbe open door of our room, the lady of the dream, in tho bright red wrappor. More extraordinary still, the lady was presented by the friend who accompanied her as Miss —, the name in tbe dream. No circumstance, near or remote, that we could ever trace, in the least accounted for this. The lady came on the real, common-ploce visit, in pursuance of an appointment quite unexpectedly made with the lady who introduced her, only only on tbe night of the dream. Prom tbe latter we had no previous knowledge of his name nor of her existence,"

The Triumph of WhisKy. [Frum tho Ciuclunaii Times, July 10,] It is calculated that at least 70,000,000 gallons of whisky are annually manufactured in this country, and if only the tax on three-fourths of it were collected the Government would receive $100,000,000 This would place our finances on a sound basis. Last year the Government reeeived $37,000,000 on whisky. This year it will receive less than $20,000,000. Por the last three months it lias been receiving only at the rate of $10,000,000 a year from this source. As whisky is an immense stimulant to all kinds of rascality, it it is no wonder that it is guilty of such immense frauds. Nothing like whisky to carry a point. In an election canvas, it is mightier than a thousand Ciceros or one hundred thousand Christians.

As a provocative to and a nervestrengthener to murder, it is more potent than jealousy, envy, hate, avarice, and all tho dovil's passions that hold high saturnalia below stairs, or howl through the subterranean coverns of pandemonium. What wonder, then, that whisky should cheat the Government out of its revenues', sinco it can luddlo and bribe the officials. Did all whisky pay the tax it should sell for $2,50 per gallon but it is plenty at $1,60, .and has been sold as low as $1,25, all properly branded as tax paid." There are so many rascals in tho whisky business that no one engaged in tbe traffic can afford to bp honest, and one must either closo out or unite with the scoundrols who can look down from their golden eminences upon all moral reproach with a lofty scorn.
