RECEIPTS AND EXPF.JDlTlltM.
We have always considered the
utateinont of the yearly receipts and
expenditures of our county, as publish
d, a huge enigma plaiu only to
those who wore acquainted with its
intricate parte. Tromappearancos the
tax collectors have not been vigilant,
leaving large amounts outstanding for
collection, the largest being the Coun
ty Tax, one-third of whii.li yet re
mains unpaid. State and Militia Tax
is one-fourth in the hand of the tax
payers. An indebtedness of $f,790 59,
duo the State from the County urges
the immediate collection of this money.
The Treasurer falls short iu his ac
count $1,577 25, which immediately
miggests that too much loose speculat
ing has been going on. If orders had
baon cashed promptly this trouble
might have been saved the officer, also,
an item of "Interest on County Order?,
$17 32," to the eouuty. The report
of the Directors of tho Poor shows a
cost of $7,488 14 to the county the
past year. Properly managed this in
stitution should be asouxcof revenue ;
vherea3 the above U an increase of
$1,333 31 over the previous year.
Let this be looked to by tax-payers or
it will nover correctiUelf. Two items
in the Expenditures excite curiosity.
One charged "Sundries $23 74," is
curious for its convenience and applU
cability. Why not have charged it
"A jolly good tirna $10 00," a "Box
of cigars $5 00," etc.? Another of
"Auditors' Clcrka'tecs, $35 00," is
curious for its purely Democratic ori
gin, and shows exactly, how they
would conduct national affairs if they
had the opportunity. Just above the
foregoing item is another of "Au liters'
Fees, $195." Thee Auditors drew on
the County for this amount, at the
saraa time ths county pays $35 to
Clerks for tho work thev .should do.
It is thus paid for twice, the office of
Auditor being a mere sinecure. No
one is prantnitvl to doubt the certifi
cate at the bottom of their statement,
but it is customary if not required by
law, that names of Auditors tdiould
be signed by them and not by proxy
ai it was this last year. Wo very
much doubt whether the Auditors saw
the Statement at all. It is a good
place to begin economy at home. "A
little theiving is a dangerous art !"
The total expense of tho county is
reduced $2,790 48, from that of the
preceding year. In looking over the
column of Expenses it occurs to As
that the reduction should bcstill larger,
by the proper care of officers.

PUOVED A KNAVE I .
On; Monday of last week, Mr.
Hubbard, of West Virginia, offered in
"the Hons of Representative a reso
lution directing the Secretary of War
to transmit copies ot all corrcspor.
denee between him and the Executive
limiting his authority, as Secretary of
War, to issni orders, 1 and all corres
pondence between him and the General
in-Chief on the same subject : and all
correspondence that may have been
furnished him between the President
and General-in-Chief relating to the
aisooeying oy me uenerai oi any oracr
a -i i .i i i
of the Secretary of War. On Tuesday
tha correspondence was oubmited
.The pith of Johnson's charge, as set
forth by the Philadelphia North Amer
r iean, Is that Grant had promised John
son beforehand to resign his office as
Secretary of War ad interim, pr to re-
. fuse to vacate it when the Senate
' should endeavor to reinstate Stanton.
The object was to foroe the Republicans
'to commence proceedings in the- Su
preme Court whereby the constitu
tionality of the Tenure of tha Office
' bill would have been tested. Johnson
made no Written order to Grant in any
Ueh MM. VtfeanM hart Vut An -
"f knew very well that it would have
Ltwa" good ' ground for' impeachment
f Nor 3d these cooked up statements al
' lege that he asked Grant directly to
, do .this lawless act : He' seems to have
got-it understood somehow in a cu
.cuuous way was on wanted it aone
.t.-. i , ,
and as Grant is proverbially a taci
rurrr man, and beheld his peace, the
! n who in conclave did all the Itdk
imagined that they bad his assent wheu
ho had said nothing at all.
Silence does not always give con
sent, and this was one of the cases
where it did not. Grant understood
woll enough what they wanted him to
do. Hut he was a military officer,and
waited orders. lie received none.
Tho President would not assume the
responsibility of ordering him in
writing to do what he expected him to
do without orders. Nor does it seem
that Johnson gave him any verbal or
ders. As the constitutional Com
mander-in-Chief lit was the only man
w ho could do so. The Secretary of
State could not ; nor could tho Secre
tary of the Navy, nor of the Interior,
nor the Postmaster General, nor tho
Attorney General, though all these
sat there an! chattered about it as
though they supposed Grant did not
know that they had not a shadow of
authority to givo him order.
Now, in the alisenee of any such re
rponsiblc orders, what was Giant's
proper courc? Clearly to obey the
laws, which is exactly what ho did.
For this the World averts that some
brave man in this Cabinet culled him
(Ulys..n S. Grant) a "liar" and
"sneak." As regards the "sneak"
part of the business, the mau who has
left upon our history such records as
Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chat
tanooga.llic Wilderness, Spnttsylvania
and llichiuond, must bo very much
like one essentially so. Sneaks usu
ally do those things. They do not
crawl into the confidence of a great po
litical party, obtain high offices at their
hands and then betray them oh ! no.
They only fight battles and win victo
ries. (
The question of veracity between the
two is ponderously on the sideof Grant.
No man of sense will hesitate which to
believe. The nod of Grant would be
sooner accepted by the people than the
oath of Andv Johnson a man who
betrays himself as well as his friends.
We have, then, the declaration of Grant
in his last letter to go by, and we be
lieve him every word whon he says:
The course you would have it un
derstood I agreed to pursue was in
violation of law and tho orders from
you, while the course I did pursue, and
which I never doubted you fully un
derstood, was in nccordauee with' law,
and not in disobedience to any orders
of my superior; and now Mr. President,
when my honor ns a soldier and in
tegrity as a man have been so violently
awailed, pardon mo for saying that I
can but regard this whole matter, from
beginning to end an an attempt to in
volve me in the resistance ol law for
which you hesitated to assume the
responsibility in orders, and thus to
destroy niy character hd'oro tho
countrv.
I am in a measure confirmed in tin'.'
conclusion by your recent orders di
recting me to disoliev orders from the
Secretary of War, my superior and
your subordinate, without having
countermanded the authority I am to
lisobcy.
Our apace will not permit us to
copy the letters entire, but a careful
perusal has confirmed us in the facts
set forth as above. Tho correspond
ence throughout is distinguishable
for its arroganM and duplicity on
the part of Johnson. Grant's totio
is that of rlccp grievance and a de
sire that his character may remain
unsullied. It is the free energetic
outspoken language of the soldier and
if possible will endear him more close
ly to the American heart
To is$ure a Republican victory nt
the next Presidcntinlclcetion,it ia neces
sary that the poopletshould be awake
to the isssues involved, and this can
only be accomplished by placing in
their hands a journal that will interest
them in the approaching contest, and
enlighten them on the pending ques
tions. Documents issued in the heat
of a campaign effect but little. The
sense and understanding of men must
be convinced by reading and reflection,
and not by appeals to their passions,
If "every ignorant voter is a peril,"
then we fear us that our good old
county stands on dangerous ground,
for not ons half of our Republicans are
subscribers to its local journal. Will
not our friends make an effort in the
right direction, by attempting to place
ourpapcror some other sound Republi
can journal, in the hands of every voter.
aYoic is the time to do it, give the people
time for thought, for intelligence and
reflection lead as surely to Republic
anism, as the sunlight and brightness
of day, follow thft clouds and darkness
of starless midnight.
Depreciated nioneyand high prices
are caused' by an inflation of the cur
rency. Our country is now flooded
with paper money to which Democrats
propose to add $-1,000,000 in green
backs. : The effect of which would
make every article' and necessary of

TUB HERO OF THIS PAST IS POT.
The Genius of Liberty naively re
marks : '
The martyrdom (?) of the horse
thief "Ossawattomio'' tfrown was des
tined to furnish the bummers and
eu t-throats of Sherman and Sheridan
with a barbarous refrain, to thevhaunt
of which they marched to tho burn
ing of barus und the spoliation of cit
ies. The pen is mightier than the sword
nnd ink pots are more d real fill than
bombs! Whoare these men that merely
marched hundreds of miles, fought
our battles and won them, to the
chaunt of "John Brown," when com
pared to thi9 one who dashes off edi
torial articles full of destructive nouns
irresistible adjectives.unmerciful verlis,
with the grape of adverbs and theenn
i.ster of prepositions and conjunctions?
Jno. Brown has been justly pitied for
his enthusiasm in a good cause and
Sherman and Sheridan with their
"bummer? and cut-throats" are
something of heroes but the editor
who boldly stayed at home, flung meta
phorical flags to the breeze, charg
ed in the abstract, vanquished theo
retically, wroto without brains and
stood magnanimously in the gap when
the very devils had deserted this is
the man for the laurels and compli
mentary liquor while living, and for
a stately monument when dea 1 1 No
ble soul ! We see him scribbling,
and sweating, and supplying manu
script munition, whon common soldiers
yielded to tho stress of war, still hold
ing out, and even now unconquered
and unconquerable, refusing to stay
when ho might do so comfortably in
tho last ditch, but bounding nimbly
into his chair, seizing his pen of sharp
ness, and sticking it up to tho very nib
in the bodies of all who were craven
wearers of tho blue! What, do you
ask, was Sherman and Sheridan and
their "bummers an 1 cut-throats " doing
all this time? Nothing,Sir, absolutely
nothing! They wero only wander
ing listlessly about in the wilderness
managing in the most clumsy manner
to get themselves wounded and killed,
eating les3 meat in a week than our
bbld editor eats for his daily breakfast,
vvafching, planning, maneuvering,
marching, countermarching, charging,
skirmishing, advancing, retreating
that's all ! D.iing their best in a hum
ble way to help ths country that is
all! Morely coarso field-work, Sir,
and not your fiuc intellectual exertion
your excoriating paragraphs, your re
sistless appeals, your ' sarcasm?, Sir,
and your sneers, your beautiful bilU
ingigate, your rhetorical bombard
ments, your irony, ridicule, invective,
and stinging defiance!
The man who would have set the
Confederacy upon permanent pins, if
the immortal gods had not proved
traitors, was this inky-fingurel in
dividual, who writes himself editor.
Bless you ! he has mver surrendered !
Up to this very hour of tho day, he
remains belligerent. Ho is a scribbl
ing guerrilla. He is a knight of the
pot-hooks and trammels. His is the
blackest of flags, and still ho flies it
with undaunted soul, and, in fact, is
quite as much of a champion as ever
he was. Lee and Longstrect might
surrender this rampant editor never!
Somo curious persons may inquire
what the QenitM man is after, and
what those who arc like him expect.
To which we reluctantly respond that
we do not know. He still trusts,
with a touching and infantile simpli
city, in the Democratic party of the
North, lie anticipates resurrections.
Ho thinks that the dry bones can live
again. He boldly declares his reliance
upon Copperheads. He is angry with
Union Soldiers, with Congress, with
everybody excepting the "Lost
Cause," "The gallant General Leo"
and the "brave boys in Gray "
Thad. Stevens' rejoinder will apply
to his case : In the House of Repre
sentatives, while a noisy member was
shouting his love of the white rebels
South, and his hate ot the black man,
a gentleman said to Mr. Stevens, "I
wonder what that angry Democrat
wants?" "Why," said the old man,
with a quiet smile, "what he wants
most is brains !"

FROrt TVAHHINtiTO I.
Washington, Feb. 5. The Presi
dent is extremely irritated at the pub
lication of the Grant correspondence,
and has not allowed Gen'l. Grant to
have tho last word, but to-day replied
to his letter in very sharp and bitter
language, reminding him, it is said,
that he (Grant) is subordinate to the
President, nnd that it ill -becomes him
to use such language as that contained
in his last letter to the Commander-in-chief
of the army. Tho President
further intimates that he will not sub
mit to such language again. It is
probable that Congress will call for
this letter.
But few members were aware of the
nature of theeorrespondence, and its cf
fii't on the House was decidedly fresh
andeutertiiiuing. The Democrats were
completely nonplussed at its character,
and were alternately delighted and
chagrined us they listened to the Presi
dent's letter nnd then to Grant's
masterly rejoinder. The rending of
General Grant's letter was several
times interrupted by involuntary ap
plause, and tho whole was listened to
with the most earnest attention. At
tho close tho enthusiasm of somo mem
rers brokeout in propositions for votes
of thanks, Ac., but tho matter was
quietly referred to the Reconstruction
Committee. ,,
As to tho origin of this correspon
dence, it is proper to state that so fur as
Gen. Grant is concerned, ho was forced
into it by tho repeated attacks on his
character ns a run n nnd a soldier, inspir
ed by tho President and spread broad
cast through his partisan organs.
There wns no other way for Gen. Grant
to vindicate himself, except by com
pelling the President to put in writing,
over his own signature, the chnrges he
was so fri-e to make through others.
This done, Gen. Grunt could meet
them and refutethein. It is noticeable
tlint the Pn sident was slow to comply
with Gen. Grant's request to reduce
his orders to writing; but having
gone so far, Mr. Johnson could not
well do less than to comply, even with
a bad grace.
The impeachment of Andrew John
son w hich was killed through political
cowardice, in the Hons? of Represen
tatives, last- December, is nain reviv
ed, as an incident oi tha Grant John
son correspondence. Gen. Grant and
Mr. Johnson may settle the question of
veracity between them ns nest they can,
but Congress addresses itself to another
point, and sees in these; various letters
something m ro than the retort cour
teous and the lie direct. The Recon
struction Committee, to which body
the correspondence was yesterday re
ferred, was in session to-Jay, nnd was
engaged in tho consideration of this
important topic. All the members
were present except Brooks and Beck,
the only two Democrats on tho Com
mittee. The matter was debated er.uly and
cautiously, nnd all the members pres
ent wero unanimously of the opinion
lb it the action of Mr. Johnstfi, in or
dering Gen. Grant verbally and in
writing, to refuse obedience to the or
ders of the Secretary of War, was a di
rect violation oi the laws of Congress
and betrayed a determination on his
part to obstruct ns far as in him lay,
the execution oi tne laws, .liter a
long discussion on this point, it was
resolved to appoint a sub-committee
to investigate tho matter, and if they
find that the President lias violated
the law, to prefer articles of impeach
mcnt against him, and to report at the
next meeting of the committee. It is
believed, on good grounds, that a con
spiracy exists to defeat the operations
of the law, and the sub-committee are
empowered to investigate the conduct
of two or three suspected members of
the Cabinet, and it necessary to impeach
tnem also. 1 tic suo-committcc is
I coniposscd of Messrs. Bingham and
Boutwtll, nnd I may add that the
i members of the committee who were
j opposed to impeachment last yo'c
iu f:,vor ?fit n0"' al,fl arc ,tne Fimc
auu iur. tioimeoii will lie
no longer
suffered to obstruct the law.
Congressmen say that the best in
terests of the country demand his re
moval : that if not cuily of an overt
act he is an instigator to a violation of
the law, and muet take the consequen
ces the same as any other citizen. Oth
er facts, too, in the possession of the
committee go Jo show that Johnson
obstructs tho law in certain of -the
Southern States. There seems to be
little ' doubt in the committee that
Johnson has at last conimitcd himself
and is completely in the power of
VjUJlrt'S.-. , A IIV BUU-VUI1I1UIUTO 19 III
session to-night, and the report will be
ready and presented to the TIoiso on
Monday.' Gcnoral Grant will 1k ex
amined by the subrcomhiittec'and1 yill
Igive his versiou of . Hie prttoiKied
misunderstanding with the President
under oath.
I may mout'on hero that a bill is
now in one of the committees of the"
Senate, regulating tho proceedings in
the matter of impeachmeut, providing
that in tho event of such action, tho
officer so impeached shall on tho pre
sentation of tho charges against him,
bo forthwith suspended from office,
and that the officer next prescribed by
the Constitution shall take his plnce
and have power to call on the land
and naval forces of the Country to carry
out tho laws. Tliero is hardly a doubt
that A. Johnson will be sum mono J to
the bar of the Senate before the first of
March.
