-lociireoitnisi suppose we anticipate tne I in Wore the presses of the onntry owned by

the Govorntneiit or the people, then tho public would have a right to demand a portion of its benefits. But as the public own no part of it have not share in the expenses of its establishment have no interest in its prosperity, they have no more claim upon its columns, than we have to till and reap the benefits of the fields of those who have purchased and cleared them by "the sweat of their brow." An editor has too long been considered the slave of every "cur and clown" whose fancy may prompt him to scribble an article; or whose caprice :nay cause him to make the "demand formal" for the authorship cf a commuuica. tion. The station of an editor is that of a private individual; as much so as that of a farmer or mechanic. We publish our paper without any expense to the public, and fill it with such matter as we please if they are suited with it, they purchase. So with the farmer or mechanic.

They raise on their farms, or construct in their workshops, such articles as they please, regardless of the blusteri ng of impudence, or the threats of the overbearing. If they violate individual or public

right, they are amenable to the laws of the country. The editor's rights are the same, and sub

ject to the same authority.

But some 6ay the editor is dependent on the

public for the circulation of his paper. So is the

Farmer, the Mercbarit, and Mechanic, dependent

on the public for the sole of their produce, mer

chandise and fabrics. If a friend proposes to a farmer or mechanic any new improvement in the management of his farm or sliop, which they think will increase their products, lessen their la-

oor, tney adopt the improvement. Uut ii an individual wishes an article which is raised on the

farm, or made in the shop, the production of

which is very unprofitable to the producer, they do not regard the solicitation, but raise and

make such articles as are most easily produced for the greatest profit. The editor is in the same situation. If a communication ba oflcrod which

he thinks will add to the interest and character of

his journal, he publishes it. Bat if an individual

thinks himself aggrieved, or wishes to gain im

mortality as a newspaper scribbler, the only thing

the editor has to consider is, will it add to the interest or character of his Journal. He has no

more to do with the individual wants and wishes,

than the farmer and mechanic. He is no more

dependent on the public.

We have always contended that the public have

no right, "tin der any circumstances, to demand a

bearing through our columns. 1 hey have no

right to complain when they are excluded. They

have no interest in it, nor control over it.

The public, in this region, have so long been

accustom to controlling those who pretended to be

editors, when in fact their paper is edited by

the villagers, that this is unpopular doctrine

But it is the tiue principle of right; and although

it may infringe upon the interests of individuals

it deprives them of no right to which they are en

titled by law or equity.

If an individual makes charges against us, or

even arraigns us before the public for malfeasence

in office, with what assurance could we ask him to go round the country and tell our side of the

ttorv, and disabuse the public tnindl But how

often are we asked to do this, and 0.3 often comply

But should an individual take occasion to slander and calumniate our private character, and feeling

too indolent and penurious to circulate it himself,

try and read it to the public. Would any man do it? But how often are we asked to perforin such

offices, and abused for not complying. Abused because we aie not willing to publish our own infamy. Should an individual publish a hand-bill or circular against us, we have as much right to demand of him, to publish another at Lis expense

Jor , as he has to demand of us at our expense

to publish his in our paper. 'But,6ay some, 'you have control of the press!" Yes, and you may have control of as good a one, if you will go to the same expense wo have. But if you do not choose this, you can have a paper of your own printed, by paying for it as we do. If we enjoy any advantages in that respect, we came in possession of it by our industry and have a right to reap the benefits. Entertaining these views, and which we know to be strict justice, when we extend to individuals the right to be heard through U6, we do it through courtesy, and not as their right. We are always thankful for contributions of a respectful character, but trill allow no man to be heard who claims it as a right.

We will therefore, endeavor togivo the desired information asking the public to make allowance for our paucity of talent, and imperfect information in many instances. let. The probable cost,'1 Sc In answer to this, we have published in cur first page to-day, an address to the people of Indiana by the "cfassiers" of the last Legislature. In many cf the Etatemente and calculations in that address we have no confidence; btill it is necessary to exam-

ne both sides of the matter to arrive at the truth!

We have a very poor opinion of every man who

stylos himself a classifier, having seen so much deception and demagogueism associated with it

he past summer, that we can scarcely give them

the credit of sincerity. But probably there may

be some of that "prejudice" in this feeling with which our friend charges us. In our opinion,

from all the information we can obtain, and from

comparing notes with the "classifiers" and "sys-

temites," our present system will not be com

pleted short of $20,CC0,C00. By the "classifi

ers calculation the taxahlo nrnnftrlv in the

f-.ww.. ... SUV Stato at this time, both personal and real, is about

$100,000,000; but by the time the works are finished, and the interest will have to be paid on tho whole amount, the taxable property will be over $300,000,000. This the classifiers were not

ignorant of, but a scheme commenced through deception for tho purpose of a political hobby,

must be carried by stratagem. But to correct

the errors of this address is not our purposo at

this time.

2d. The number 0 Officers and Engineers Ac?

The names of the different officers and engineers

we have no means of obtaining, but we can furnish the number of each grade of officers, to-wit.-

1 Principal Engineer, 1 Secretary, 12 Resident

Engineers, 7 Senior Engineers, 12 Assistant Engineers, 11 Senior Assistants, 24 Rodmcn. 20

Axemen, 9 Members of the Board of Internal Improvement, and 3 Fund Commissioners making

in all 100.

3d. Thiir Salary? This subject wo approach

with much reluctance. It is a delicate topic for

newspaper controversy, as a large portion of the

community are prone to put too low an estimate upon the services of men of professional and scientific knowledge. They generally compare the services rendered the State.to thosejof the common occupations of life not considering the amount

of time and expense necessarily expended to render Engineers, 5cc. proficient in their business

But we never shrink from any duties devolving upon us as editor and should we see some things

which either we cannot comprehend, or that 60ine of the officers have not acted according to the strict letter of the law it is our business to give a plain statement of facts. We will therefore proceed to give the yearly salary of the above 100 officers, Eengineers, &c, except Fund Commis

sioners, as reported to the Legislature on the 10th of January, 1838, by the Board of Internal Im

provement for the year 1837. 1 Principal Engineer, at a salary per annum of f 4,000 00 1 Secretary 1,000 00 12 Resident Eengineers, at 1,500 00

Tho only money the Canal Commissioners have eontrol of, is a small amount for contingencies, for which they have to produce to the Fund Commissioners, receipts, stierifvin particularly for what the money was expended.

There can be no fraud in the payment of contractors, except through the joint co-operation of contractor, engineer, and commissioner.

5th. What do (he Banks rcceice. for disburs

ing the moneys? This question we are unable to answer in as authentic a manner rs wo could wisl. The money is deposited in the Eastern Banks.

lor the time those bnks retain it. And our banks

engage to advance the nior.cy 30 days in consider

ation of the premium on eastern drafts, which the

In favor of the Indiana banks. The banks advanco 30 days before the Fund Cowraisslosers draw a check in their favor on the East, fcd through tho dalav of

more before our banks can obtain the money on

their checksthus they arc out about CO days.

our oanns, therefore, receive the difTerenee between tho interest for 60 days and the premium at which they sell drafts. For the last vear. we

presume the average premium on New York drafts

was about 4 per cent. But tho premium at the

time the arrangement was made, was not mor$ than one ncr cent, whih r..i.u -.i ...

- u m u u9 vAauujr tut? interests for 60 days. B,ut the derangement in the currency of the Country increased the premium on drafts which has operated in favor

of the banks to the amount of somo 40 or 50

thousand dollars, on the 3.000,000 loan of

the present year.

And we are informed that our banks, immedi

ately after the general suspension, and when our

funds at tho east were not available, advanced

money near 3 months; and had it ot been for their

favor at that critical piriod. the works on our Ga nals would have been suspended about 3 months, which would have created great loss, delay and derangement, to tbe works,, the contractors,. and laborers. We have thus, in as brief a manner as possible, given as much of the information asked for, as we were able. If it contains any thing of interest to our readers, we are indebted to Mr. Fenelon, for calling our attention to the subject. We desire to give all the information in our power, (jisbed up in such a manner as to promote their interests or please their taste.

Franklin County, March 12, 1838. Mr. Editor Your independent course relative to public officers, and the interests of the people, give us every assurance that through your paper we may obtain some correct information relative to the expenditures of the public money on works of Internal Improvement the probable cost of the "Whole System" the number, and the amount of salary of the officers and Engineers the manner of paying contractors and how much the banks receive for disbursing the money. It is hoped that your prejudice in favor of internal improvements will not deter you from giving a fair and candid statement, as far as you have been able to ascer

tain the facts. There appears to be considerable

of Eecrecy and mystery about all these matters,

which it is right the people suouia Know. FENELON. We tegret that "Fenelon" had not trusted to abler bands, and given the information sought in his own language. He has the same information the same access to documents. But never

shrinking from any duties, as an editor, we will,

with the greatest pleasure, and as far as the information is within our reach, proceed to comply

with the request, without that "prejudice," which

oar correspondent intimates controls us. We

acknowledge we are an uncompromising advocate of Internal Improvement, but never wished to

prosecute the works by imposition and deception.

Thepeople have to pay the expense, and will

reap the benefits of the system, and thereforo have a right to know the movements of their public

$71,005 50

Wc were, for some time, puzzled to know how

each Canal commissioner s compensation per year amounted to $1,277 50, until we examined

the report to the last Legislature in which they

state that 'their services were required through

out the year," and that they allowed themsolves $1 50 per day for ''travelling expenses." The

reader will therefore perceive that $2 00 per day

lor services, and $1 50 for travelling expenses

making $3 50 multiplied by the number of days in the year, (not excepting Sundays) makes just

$1,277 50! Tho law under which they allow themselves this amount reads thus: 'And they shall each receive as a compensation for their services the sum cf two dollars per day

for every day necessarily employed, and also an

equitable allowance for travelling and other contingent expenses." It is our opinion tbe Commissioners have put a vary liberal construction upon the law when they

have allowed themselves per diem and travelling expanses, not only for every working day in the

year, but have included Sundays. Wo are very certain that their business has not been 60 pressing as to render it "necessary" for them to be employed seven days in a week the year through.

Some of the commissioners have twice tho labor to perform that others have; still those who have the most to do only charge for 365 days in a year! when those who are not engaged one third of their

time, are so "necessarily" employod that they

violate the Sabbath, as it is not presumable that

they charge the State for days not employed.

Probably our friends can give us some other explanation of the inatter if so, we will correct these conclusions with the greatest pleasure, but

in no case do we wish it understood that we are

objecting to their procedure, but merely giving a

plain statement, leaving the people to make their own comments.

What tbo Fund Commissioners receive yearly, we have no means of knowing, but the law provides that tbey shall have $5 00 per day when actually employed. And presuming they coustruo the law as liberally as the other commissioners, it is probable they receive about $2,000 a piece making $6,000 which added to the above, makes

$77,005 50. 4th. The ma.tner of paying Contractors? The money being in the Banks mo6t convenient to the works, it is paid out to contractors on the check of the commissioner. But in order that there maybe no fraud, the Resident Engineer nukes

SAIiE OF TOWN LOTS, In the Town of METAMORA Franklin County Indiana. riTHE subscribers will offer at pnblio sale on JL Thursday the 26th day of April, A. D. 1888, about fifty in-lots, in the above named town. This place is situated in one of the most extensive, fertile and beautiful valleys of the white water river. It is nine miles from Brookville, twenty-one from Rushville, twenty-three from Greensburgh, fifty from Cincinnati and sixty from Indianapolis. The white water canal is located directly through tho centre of the town, and tbe construction of the work will ba commenced early in tbe summer. There will be one lock in the town and another within a half mile, of nine feet lift, creating water power sufficient for twelve run of mill 6tones In addition to this the white water river affords ample water power at all seasons of the year, and. there are now in operation upon it, in sight of tho town, a grist mill, saw mill and carding machine. The great State Road and stago route from Indianapolis through Rugbville and Brookville to Cincinnati, strikes the canal at this point, and runs side and side with it through the centre of the Uwn, and nearly all of the lots offered will front on opo or tho other of these great thoroughfares. Tho road from Connersville through Laurel to Brocfltville unites here with the great state 9oad, and also the road from Greensburgh by the way of darks'burgh, enters the white water valley at this point. In addition to these the roads down duck creek, pipe creek and salt creek, whicn all empty into the river near this place afford the ni06t natural channels for transporting the piwduce of the extensive country along those streams. There is no point on the white water canal whsro a greater amount of produce will be taken to and from the Ohio river; and the number of bogs -which will be driven here, must, owing to the great concentration of roads at this pointy from the rich country west, always greatly exceed the number taken to any other point on the canal. Barrels and kogs for packing pork and lard can be made very cheap here owing to the abundance of materials for that purpose. The 60il, of the valley in which Metamora is situated, is a rich dry loam, without' any stagnated water in the neighborhood.
