TnE Commercial Gazette has a Washington correspondent who will, it he lives, knock the socks clear off of the Enquirer Gath for lying. Just give him time. He isvealy somewhat, but indicates a hit; come out. Mr. Keii ev has qualified as Minister to Austria anil Ik at lat.t a full lied ted Envoy Extraordinary and Mlnhter Plenipotentiary Evansvtilo Courier. Yes, and he is just about ready to sail for Europe when there comes an objactlon that his wife is a Jewess; As if that could or should bo an objection. Thta is a direct in suit to the entire Hebrew race, and we trust that it rray be eo considered. To object to an American Minister or his wito upon any ground of race or faith is insulting. If Mrs. Keiley were a female Bsb Ingersoll, we should never have heard an objection on that score. Let us have done with all this nonsense. There Id a claaa of Democrat-, and It Isalarje class, tor, every whit ci obnoxious to people wbofcwish is for wise, honorable and clean goverameut, us any politicians can be. They are a dead to the new day ot the nation as James Buchanan or Boss Tweed. Even when they are hoaest, they represent nothing but the idea prevalent In the dark ages ol American politics. Boston Advertiser. How much worse are they than the bourbonized bloody shirt organs, orators and . their followers and Imitators of the Republican party? Does the Boston Advertiser Imagine that the parties named will ever hear anything quite 10 soothing as the flap of the blcody snir.? There may be none auch in Boston, but their name is legion in the Weat, It Ls rumored that Hon. Henry R. Jackeon, recently appointed Minister to Mexico, is hesitating about accepting the mission, and that he may do ai Mr. Law ton did, and decline. His case is precisely like Lawton's, and, while the Attorney General has decided that a pardon removes disabilities, and that one who has received it does not come within the meaning o! tho fourteenth amendment, there may difficulties and litigation arise concerning the payment of salary, which, as a prudent man, Mr. Jackson is not inclined to run into. The disbursing officer, regardful o( his obligations and his bondsmen, may refuse to pay, and the Republican Court cf Claims and Saprome Court may disagree with the Attorney General. The Etruria, the new Cunarder, which his just finished its first ccean voyage, is said to be the largest steamer that ever entered the port cf New York", with the exception of the Great Easiern. The Eirur'a is 520 feet long over all; breadth, 57 feet 3 inches; depth to tipper deck, 11 feet, and to promenade deck, 49 feet, with gros? tonnage cf S 0C0. She is entirely built cf ateel throughout, and is divided into ten water-tight compartments. The steamer his accommodations for over 70O first-class passengers, 1.0C.0 steerage passengers, and 3C0 others, including sailors, firemen, steward, etc, making a total of over 2.CC0. Her speed, recently tested, will average, under favorable circumstances, twenty miles an hour. She can carry 1'. 500 tons cf ccal ard 2 0CO tons of cargo. A New Yosk physician has recently been taking a tour through Kansas. He made come observations regarding the workings of the new prohibition law. Here is what he eajs: 'At all times while in Kansas I was surprised at the large number of drug stores nd doctors' offices. One night I arrived in Pittsburg, a little town of about 4. COO inhabitants. Passing up the main street I counted no less than twenty dreg stores and fifteen doctors1 offices Turning to a native I remarked; This must be an extremely unhealthy town.1 Ko,1 he replied, with a wink; 'not particularly unhealthy. Only people are taken sick here suddenly. I feel bad myself naw; come in And see the doctor. I found that these dru ;

s' or sard doctors offices were nothing less than unlicecsed dram shops, where a few tampies were kept in order to retain the odor of medicine, but where the real stock in trade was liquor. The physicians In town owned these drug stores, and were quite willing to give a prescription for a dose of quinine and whisky without any other consideration than that the sick man should get it filled at one ct their stores. The authorities are compelled to wink at these transactions, as they are not violations, bat on'.y evasions of the law. The fa?t ij, that a man who wants whisky will get it despite all the laws in Christendom."

THE PRESIDENT'S CRITICS. Any friend of the President may contemplate with pleasure the little fusilade which a handful of Independent Republicans and Democrats are rattling against his policy. The protest of the Independents Is against the appointments of certain Democrats. Their objections demonstrate them to be partisan Republicans "Independents" only in name. Thus viewing them, the President will not regret having excited their dissatisfaction. The Democrats complaining are not the leading representative men cr journals of the party. In every instance the Democratic grumbler is moved by personal disappointment. Mr. East?s, the new Louisiana Senator, essayed the role of dictator to the administration as to the patronage cf his State, and failed. This S?nator appears imbued with the "rule or ruin" spirit which a quarter of a century ago possessed certain politicians of his section. Not bsing able to rule the administration ha spitefully asails It. The Cincinnati Enquirer is in the lame boat with the Louisiana Senator. The source of its antagonism is to? transparent to admit of discussion. The Rochester Herald uncovers 'the nigger in the woodpile'1 in the Enquirer's case. It states that Mr. Cleveland was not blind to Editor McLean's doable dealing durlDg the campaign in professing to support him while allowing "Gath" to monopolize the fir3t psge of his papsr with yeoman's woik for Blaine. "As soon as the election was over," eays the Herald, "McLean appeared williDg to let by gones be by-gones, by offering tho President advice as to the Ohio appointnient3 and clamoring for patronage. The President steadily disregarded his recommendations, and bat one appointment a small consulship kas been given the McLean wing of the Democracy, while the Pendleton-Thnrman wing has cot three fine recognitions " It is the contempt received at the hands of the administration that fires the Enquirer, and not wounded Democratic feelings; the latter it never had. There are one or two other sms 11 fry papers and politicians mouthing dissatisfaction with the President's po'icy, but all cf them combined do not exceed in capacity for harm the small dog rushing at the pasairg locomotive. As against Senator Eust's we have every eminent and influential Democrat in the Nation endorsing the adminlitration. So with the reliably Democratic pres?. Each staunch party papers as tho Boston Po3t, tho Buffalo Courier, Pittsburg Post, Louisville CourierJournal, Mlssoarl Republican, Charleston NV3 and Courier, Memphis Appeal and Atlanta Cozstitntion ac:ord the President their most cordial approbation. Since it was particularly of the doisgi of the administration in the Booth that Senator Eustis spoke, we give the comments of the South's leading paper, the Constitution, upon his criticism. Itsajs: We do not hesitate to say that the'? are not a dozf n reilcctlmt Democrats lu the South tüat will approve the temper or Indorse the laueuase pf Senator Eustis' remarks. Such wild and irrational cntlciim does not represent the Democratic partv in the south. YtLatlsihe tltnatloa? President Cleveland has been In ofiico Jest eiht weeks to-day. lie entert d uron his duUes with larger responsibilities than a kt publican President would have had. He liad re t only to keep the macMnerv ol povernmeut in motion to lcolc after the aiiairs. both grat and small, of acat'.oa ot 5U,00ioi)0 of peoplo-but he had to introduce an entlrs ch9DKC of poller. No Irfsldent, with one exception, bas ever bad a more difficult tk be.'ore hin;: aid no HreMlent has ever devoted himself more pitientlv. more Intelligently and more patriotically 10 the tremendous woik before him. He has Dot only to ot;cnJ to bis routine duties, which aie a burden on tho most industrious mm. but be bus to attend to the thousand and one demands on his time and attention that are made by individuals and the public at large. He has not only to give a Demccratic drill and tendency to his administration, but he hs to inquire into tha fitness of thousands of applicants for office. w hat Senator Kustls pa a about the necessity of reform in the Federal offices of the South is every wcrd true: but it will be time enough to critic so the President wbea he betrays an intention to allow the rar cals who now hold otlice in the doatfi to remain in their places. Cut the President has no such intention. Lie understands the situation in the South quite as well at Senator Eusils. and apprt elates the necetsitv for reform quite as k3?nly, but there are other duties pressing on hira that are, t Jpsst, as important an the reform of the civil service In the touth. Certainly the South can a'Jcrd to be i atleat yet a little while loader. COUNTINQ THE FUNDS. There are about 100 people at present engaged in counting the money in the Treasury yaults at Washington City. The Washingcorrespondent of the New York San gives some interesting information in regard to the count. There were two counts during Treasurer Spinner's time. The first time there was a surplns of just one n!ckel, but the second count showed up minus a dime. The Treasurer wa3 out just five cents on loth counts. The cash that has been counted and is yet to 1)9 counted consists of '.',0CO,COO in silver dollars and ?3 500,000 in gold coin, in all nesrly SCO tons in weight. In addition thpre are about 5175,000.000 in paper, most of the denomination of $3 and under, and $325 COO 000 in bonds held in security for the National Bank circulation. The hard money la in bags, esca containing 1.CC0 silver dollars, weighing fifty nine pounds three ouncer, tamped U. 8. Treasury, 1,000 dsllara, Washington, D. C." There was a time when each baz was damped and each piece of money handled and counted When the present count began a limited number of bags were emptied and the coin counted, but that was suspended and the plan of weighing each bag adopted. The scale for this, cf course, is exact in its work ing, the very slightest variation being detected. The bags are brought from their resting places in the vaults by men, who And it no easy work, kept up for hours to

gether in an atmosphere that U almost stifling. When they have got through they can say what few mortals can, that they have handled eo many tons of money! As the bags are placed on the scale the three men constituting the commission pay attention. It is what they are there for.

We get something of an explanation of the racent Demooratic victory in Michigan from the Detroit Evening News: The total vote on Judge of the Snprerne Court was 007.5S3. This is an extraordinarily heavy vote, and completely dissipates the twald e to the effect that Cooley's defeat is doe to apathy in the Republican ranks and to atstention from voting. There was no apahy. On the contrary, the people were never before so thoroughly aroused. With one exception it was the heaviest vote ever cast In this State at a Stata election, even when the Governorship and Legislature were involved. The trath is that the people were thoroughly arouse 1 by an isno most vital to their dearest interests, and having only an indirect and remote relation to party questions and party rivalry. The charge presented to the people of Michigan that for many years past the Supreme Court had been falling into the hatds of the railroads and other great moneyed corporations, accompanied by overwhelming proof, acd that Mr. Justice Cooley's opinions were the chief cause of it, was what stirred the voters cf Michigan ao they were never befcre, and brought täem to the polls in euch extraordinary üueebera. Mr. Cooley was tried on that charge by the intelligent poopie, and was convicted by such a vote as was never ctst against a judicial candidate before. CoNcertMso the payment of Internal Revenue Collectors appointed by President Cleveland since the adjournment of the .Senate, the Treasury Department officars are not losing; any sleep. They ssy, says a Washington correspendent, that all talk of doubt as to the authority of the President to make such appointments and the right of such appointees to receive calary until the meeting of Congress is raised In Republican circles and emanates from the friends of the suspended officers, faction 1,7:3 of the ReVised Statutes defines tho powers of the President in the premises, and provides for the payment of officers from the time their bonds are filed, and it is contended that no subsequent legislation modified this statute in the least. A prominent officer, in discussing the subject, disposed of the -matter by saying that the Republicans could raise all the points they pleased, but the new men would be paid right along, and if the Benate did conürm them they would have their money anyway, hnd no power that he knew of could make thm retnrn it. A GExirs In clay has turned up in Leavenworth, Kansa?. He is a boy, oaly seventeen years old, and a special from that town intirriates that he ba? the abilities for sculpture in marble it b.9 has the opportunity. He has hsd only three months' f chooling, but can read and write fairly well. His general intellicerjce only seems to be about the average of colored boys of his ege. His genius lies in his ability to pick up a piece of clay and model it in a faw minutes to almost any form that suggests Itself to his mind with a life-likenesa truly astounding. Ho has been at work down by the river bank for some days, and from the common red clay there found ia abundance, without tools of any kind, without any models or designs, he forms his statues of men and his models of horses, dos, cattle, men on horseback, negroes wito. pipes In their mouths, and other creations that suggest themselves to his imagination, with a wenderful reality and no inconsiderable artistic talent. Mis1? AjiD'.-.nsox has the entree to aristocratic circles in England. On TaesJay last, as a cablegram says, she was entertained by Lord and Lady Granville. Among the company were Lord and Lady Spencer and Lord Hartington, Secretary for War. The gossips are sug.-esting that the latter and Miss Anderson aro splendidly matched. His lordship is not yet fifty-two, and will some day inherit tbe vast estates of his father, the Duke of Devonshire; bat though gallant he is a con firmed cM bachelor, and there is doubtless as little basis for the present gossip as for the many preceding ramors of Miss Andersen's matrimonial intentions. SPIRIT OF TilK Wf ATE PRESS. Ma yob Har.Ki.ox i9 doing exactly right in appealing to the msjesty cf tho Jaw for protection againet tbe malicious assaults upon his character by an unprincipled and unscrupulous preis. It is time these journalistic scavengers were taught a les:on. South Bend Tim is. It is a common peculiarity of men of genius to puzzle and ballle the omprehensicn of ordinary mortals. This probably accounts for the fact that when a Presldeut of the United States i3 shot tbe sargical wisdom of the country locates thd fatal ballet In the wrong side of his body, and when an exPresident has a sore throat the learned dectors call it cancer. Putnam Damocrat At tbe rate at which the ensent administration is gaining in favor with the people it seems likely that, by the end of the Presidential term, there will be cot enough of the opposition left to even make a nomination. And still the country lives and propers and is quietly and snngly adjusting itself to the new order of things. We bslieve the e )ple are satisfied with "the change." Seymour Democrat. It is amusing to observe the efforts of Republican journals to break the effects of the moderation and wisdom displayed by the Democratic administration. The President and his advisers are steering their course so wisely, and the prospects of a prosperous voyage are to encouraging, that the Republicans are getting alarmed. They are afraid of the future of the growing' popularity of Democratic rule and of the constant increasing cloudinecs of Republican chances of regaining their hold on the federal offices. So I. r all their predictions have miscarried. The

cornmercsand industrial institutiens of the country are prospering steadily. Oar liberties appear anite safe, the colored men in the Southern States are getting along quietly and happily, the confederacy is not "in the saddle" but peacefully at home and at work, and altogether the first days of Democratic rule are attended by the happiest auspices. Shelby Democrat. The place to settle family quarrei3 is inside the family circle. The place to settle quarrels or differences between Democrats is inside the party. Make your fights In primaries and conventions, and if you get whipped yield gracefully. By so doing you win the respect of ycur enemies and do not exhibit a sore toe or a sore head to your unfortunate friends. For a man is unfortunate who ha3 friendj that are everlastingly making complaints. New Albany Ledger. DcEixci tho candidacy and after ths election ot President Cleveland a certain class of Republicans were loud in their expressions of sympithy for the unsophisticated man who was to assume the office of Chief Executive and had never, as they said, even visited the National Capital. Whether he had visited Washington City or not, Mr. Cleveland seems to handle the machinery ot government as if he had been used to running it long enough at least to beconi9 quite aa expert at that kind of business.

John McKee is a real estate dealer, worth $3C0,000. Tho widow of Henry Jones has $' 0,000, which her husband cleared as a caterer. A Wasuixoton correspondent says: "Mr. Bancroft has a funny way of making mock scowls, and eaying to people of fifty and sixty years of ae: 'Why, my child, I'm as old as the hills. I'm the oldest penon you ever knew.' The next minute he may be speaking in the most serious and unconscious manner of 'poor old Mr. Corcoran,' who is just his own age." A Paris coachman, speaking the other day to a brother jehu, remarked: "For my part, I don't take any stock in men with great reputations. Take M. Alexandre Damas flls f r example. Well, I drove him from his home to the Lyons railway station in my cab. There was plenty of time for him to think of somrthing to say, wasn't there? Well, he didn't get off the slightest bon mot dQring the whole drive." When the late Senator Fessenden was Secretary of the Treasury it is related that he'one day received a sealed package. He broke tbe teal and again looked at it, and then at the signature; a scrowl appeared on his face, and in a very emphatic and disgusted manner be tore the manuscript to pieces and threw it into the waste-basket, with the remark, "What In the d 1 does Wilson Senator Wilson know about finance?" "I can not undeittand upon what foundation the primrose ba3 been connected with the name of Lord BeaeonsSeld," says Labouchere. "The only allasion to the flower in Lord Bea:oasfield's works is in 'Lothair,' where Lord 6t. Jerome is called 'Barbarian' by hfs wife, because he remarked that 'primroses make a capital salad.' I would advise some enterprising Tory restaurant keepsr to advertisa 'Hcghendea Ealida' when th?s anniversary sgiin comes round, and no doubt he will double his chances 0! success if he adds that the primroses are confectioned after a recipe supplied by one of tbe 'dames' of the egregious Primrose Lesgue."

A host of friends throughout the country will learn ot the good fortune that has come to Luther Bscson, the renowned temperance lectursr, with, hearty satisfaction, and will

extend to him and his young wife-mother hearty congratulations. On Tuesday, tbe 5th inst. Mrs. Benson prefeatad her husband with a girl baby, and the father, as miht be expected, accepts all the responsibilities attending such devotion, not only with heroic fortitude, but with a happiness, little, if anything, less than ecstasy. It is gratifying to stats that motbe and chi'd are as well as could be expected, and that our friend Benson, when referring to the subject, is the personification of price a tid parental dignity. The New York Times eays: Tne little fuht a aiut tbe President tnat hs at lau broken out iu tbe isemocratlc party was not expected, and least so, perhaps, by the iroat eaa who Is the object cf the furious, rmt ro lar reiy lusicTiiCcsnt, attaiks. There ls no resou t suppche that Mr. Cleveland thoucht he woull be ai'e to p! ase the Eu?tles and McLeans of ms partv, an4 there ls no reason to believe toat he has tried. Tre very plan and defiatto -principles he laid down for the guioance of eis ec.ioa as President w?re not such as this class of mea admire or co i:d aee applied without chagrin and difappoint-n-nt. There is nothin? in the character of Mr. Cleveland. a shown by his publis career, with which they could have sympathy, and as far as the McLeans are concerned, not merely the notorious pair of that name, but tot croup of uuscrupulou, vulear and greedy politicians they reorts?ni; thy did all they could to defeat Mr. Cleveland's election and to eecure that of Mr. Bl&ine. The New York Sun says: We have more faith lu a Democrat whose hand is bard witn labor, and vrbose heart Is honest and true to his principles, than in a thousand fancy politicians who never go to the polls at all, except, perhaps, when a President is to be chosen. Tt.e masses are sound and true, but the so called better element Is very often nothing but a delusion and a humbug.

THYSIO-MEDICAL ASSOCIATION'. Second Day 'a Proceedings of the Annual Convention Subjects Diacuaaed. At the morning session first hour was given to the consideration of miscella neons business, the reports of the officers and the drawing of orders to pay the current expenees of the present session, etc. A committee consisting of Drs. S. M. White, A. W. Fisher and W". A. Spurgsan was appointed to have in charge the completing of arrangements for the meeting o! the American Association of Physio-Medical Physicians and Snrgeons, which meets in this city on the 10;h of the present month. Dr. .spnrgeon read a resolution relative to the "Shively medical law," which was afterward embodied lu the report of the special committee on medic il legislation, to which it was referred. On motion the matter of preparing a certificate of membership was referred to ths Execntive Committee. The section of obstetrics was then tan up and cases of mten-at reported by Drs. Hpureon, Saiith acd White, which weredssemsed by tho msmberj generally. Dr. White spoke cf same departures from the usual mode of dressing the child, which drew out a lively discussion. The subjsctot puerperal convulsion elicited much interest on the pirt of Him tn-ni bes, and tbn best modes of managing cas s of tliia serious tiouble werj freely canvassed. The dUcu5lon of this section" was close i by Dr. While, who gavo at length his ipsre.Dco in aa aggravated case cf reiaiueJ p.acenta. The section cf surgsrr was again taken up, and a case of ;reat interest was or?seuted by Dr. Hasty. It was the caso of a wound to the eye, caused by a piece of metal from a cartridge entering the rieht bail, and making ths removal of the eye a necessity. It had been done foar weeks ago, and nad so far recovered that Dr. Anthony Inserted an artiScial eye, which gave little or no pain. On the atercbling of the society in the afternoon, Dr. J. C. Qaick, of Muncie, wa3 elf cted a member of the society. The section of Histology was presented by Dr. 8. M. White, who spoke of the advantages to be gained from a thorough knowledge of tne histoloey of the different parts of the human frame, both ia health and disease; rfeferring to conditions which he bad found present in certain forms of disease which very materially aided in making both n diagnosis and prognosis, and pointed out a line cf treatment which would be impossible to arrive at except from the histological knowledge gained by a carefol examination of the patient. This brought out an interesting discussion of consumption and kindred troubles, which wss participated In by Drs. Ellis, Davidson, Spurgeon, Hasty, White and others. Tbe committee to whom was referred the medical legislation question reported as follows: Kesolved, That while we do not believe in the necessity er t ncSt of medical leisiatioa In general, we think the new medical law of Indiana as lair as any state medical Un enacted tnus far, and inasmuch as other slates have enacted laws whica have the e3ect of sending maiy unqualified mm inro sutes who have no medical laws, therefore be it Kesolved, That we look upon the pieaeat law as beinj tseful es a meansof elf-defeuke to prevent our btate from being overrun by medlcil fugitives from other States, and bo long as tne law is not administered ia the interest of any ouet.ee; cr school of medicine to the detriment of others, we, as rbytlo raediealiste. promise It a hearty supportKeprtseniicg, as we think, the greatest amount of science In medical practice, we heartily indorce every just xneaus tuat has for its object tue advancement of medical s ciencd and the prozresaive elevation of tte standard of medical education.

THE KNIGHTSTOWN II03IE.

The Reorganization Complete and Everything in fjood Working Order A Kindergarten to ba Established at toe Home Disappearance of tho "Floating: Island." The reorganization of the Knightstown Home is now complete, and wcrd comes from the institution that new life has been infasel into it by the adoption of bstter methods, and everything is working In perfect harmony, with a fair prospect of reachin? the end designed by the Stits in establishing and providing means for maintaining ths Home. Energy and ability characterize the new management; a number of persons are at work prepsring comfortable clothing for the children; the same food supplied to the Superintendent's table is given to tusm, and the little orphans find themselves indeed the wards of the Elate and their interests guarded with a jealous care. A little incident connected with Sunday night's supper is related of the Home which illustrates the childuh propensity to provide itself with the delicacies of the table without regard to thofe that are to follow. In the bill cf fare Sanday night was "floating island," a dish made of milk, eggs and sugar, and on that occasion flavored with lemon. The children ate first, and when the Superintendent and attendants sit down isupper it was discovered that the "ibattng ieland" had all disappeared, the children apparently relishing the dish more than any other on the table. A person who took Upper there that evening and who is the Satinel's Informant, eays that the matter was legart'ed ao a Rood jcke and produced rao:e enjoyment than would have been occasioned by eating the custard. The fsme person fays that onitirday some of the discharged employes took, occasion to show their spleen by making insinuations and;throw:ng out slurs arainst the lady member cf the Board, but she bore it all with that calm fortitude and womanly forbearanco which ?aid, in langusge plainer than words, that she would not permit herself to fall to that level by bandying words with them. The action of orne of thoi who wf re d!schar,zd showed conclusively that tbey were not fit to occupy the positions ibey had held, and in illustrating this fact tbey rea'Iy paid a high compliment to the lenttraticn of the power that gave their positions to others. One of tho employes, so say the children, advised a numoer of tLe orphans to run away, and actin rpon this advice, four of them scamperfd oili They soon repeated of this rashness, however, ard returned to the Home, whr tbey expressed themselves as hearti'y ashamed of their course, and promised nerar . ain to follow each bal advice. .Mr. Pittman. says the Sentinsl's informant, is etill at the Home, and js ap-rirae:)d-ing the work of making clothing for tha children, and they are beginning to appsar as u fat and tidy as those who have tbe comforts cf home and th fostering csre of a mother and father. She is up early in the morning, and takes tbe lead of a bevv ot girls in handling tbe broom, mop, scrubbing bru.'h and dust pan. und in this way she rot only sets an example, but teaches tberu the VHiue of the work, as well as how it should bet' one. At ber engireption a change . will be rndo in the Echool of the Home, and it will hereafter bscoDdncted on the kinderf arten pian, a cr.atge that will bs doubly advantageous to the pupil?, who must ultimately leave tbe institution and depend upon their own exert;ons for a support, and it will be found necessary ti have something besides the mere rnuinie&tj of an KsgUsh education. The piediction. is made that. ' under, the new order of things, it will be bat a short time till everything will be goirg on both prosperously and hwopilv. Peace is the watchword and harmonr and good will the motto cf the institution." The same authority said: "The statement which appeared in an Indianapolis pDer, in enV.t, ttat the lady member cf the Board is nervous and hysterical, provoked no little amu'ement at the Hone, and the person U9ing the terms was certainly not acquainted with their meaning. No, it is not Mm. Pittman woo is nervous and hysterical; it is somebody else, m fact, several somebodies, but they are not at the Home now." TnECOLLEOIORMilt. The Present Employes Not In Neel o 8ympathy. With the appointment of a new Collector It is generally understood that the main office will be removed to Lawrenceburg, and that a deputy will hold the fort here, as is now the case at the latter place. Iu conversation with Collector McKay yesterday ha expressed the belief that Dr. Hunter would hardly take charge of the offico before July 1, and gave as a reason that the fiscal year closed at that time. Iu respoceo to the state ment that Dearborn County juys such a large proportion of the revenue collected in the State, a Sentinel reporter was shown the books for eeveral months back, na discovered that in the ajgreeate Diarbcrn Connty paja lesstbaucne half o?tbe leveua collected in tho district &Ld rot five s'xths, as stated in an afternoon contemporary yesteidsv. Collector McKer and his Deputies are locking forward to the ''change" in a very phi'.cse;hical sort of way. and are not clispoed to steed on the order of their gomg when tbe time ball arrive. Taey evidently believe that other besides them"lvaj c u administer the ar!a;rs oi th o?Jc and tbocgh the propess-d change has tta serious features, they are pitting tie greatest possible cemfert cut oi the liiuatijn bv joking wilh rffererc to their ss-veral buinesifs when they cetse to draw at the pub i.e test.

He bol;eva8 that this is an indos'ry which can be developed largely la excess cf its prercnt preporiion, and he will give his parsor al attention to the same. W. C.
