The statement for last year shows th linaiiees of tho county to bo generally iu a good couitition. 1 here nro a low items, however, that have attracted some littl attention, which tho ta.v payers do not ftillv undeistand. First, tho auditors lind a balaueo of comity fund iu tl: IiatKls ol the lieasurer amounting to ijISUi.Ol. There remained at tho time ."7.).,")0 unpaid on county prison coupons and a considerable amount ot road dam URes, both of which draw interest. If the balaueo iu the Treasurer's hands was received by him any reasonable length ot tune before tho settlement wan made. it should have been applied totliuruiintv'i indebtedness and thus slopped interest to that extent Jt is possible, however that the money did not come into Ins hands until a shoit time previous, as manv collectors weie slow in nettling their clupli -atci. il tins was the ease no blame can attach to any one for not applying thu amount to debts of the county. It should bodouc at once, if not already done, as the county ouslit any interest on its liabilities while there aro idle funds iu tho Treasurer's hands. Another item is that which reads 'If A. Sweppenheiser, Treasurer's deeds to Commissioners, iJIfSJi.TI. .Last summer every tract of unseated laud assessed for taxes which remained unpaid for two years or more wns advertised by the Treasurer, and all not. bid in by others. were bought by tho Commissioner; Tho Treasurer matin deeds for the traets lo tho Commissioners, and received therefor the sum of .'18.1.71 from the eoiinty.

If we aro mistaken as to the amount of tho fees, a correction will cheerfully bo made. tITI . . I . . . . w oat tno people dosiro to know is, whether tho lauds purchased by tho com missioners arc worth the taxes standin against them and the expenses made bv Uio sales. If so, there can be no object ion to the transaction. Jy explaining the matter fullv tho ollieials concerned -.Mi l . i " win renovo ineinselves or much severe criticism that they are now receiving. Our columns aro open for both ides NORTH VERSUS SOUTH. A letter has been banded us which wiK written by a Virginia gentleman to a staunch Democrat ot this county. It was written last fall iu-l lifter the elec tion, hut it discusses u subject of general interest, and we therefore print portions of it. The writer says: "Tho lessons to be learned from the election are lirst, that the (ires of hatred kindled by tho war against tho .South burn s fiercely as ever iu the Uepubli can heart, and that not so long ns enough actors in the strife survive to form a biit fallion, shall tho .South have any part iu tho conduct, of tho govcrninonti and sie ondly, that ;i majority of tho Northern people arc resolved never to trut the government, again iu the hands of the Democracy, while tho South constitutes tho largest part of its strength.

This is all, and how any .Democrat could have deserted his ranks becauso of the acivs'on of such powerful recruits Instead of welcoming them to a place in the array, passes my comprehension. There must be, even in tho Radical hosts, some reflective men capable of "discerning tho signf) of the times," who eatnint bo blind or iudilTer ent to tho portentous fact, thattheir lead ers seriously; intend the destruction of free Institutions, ami the erection upon their ruins of a vulgar despotism. To such Radicals, one would havo suppos ed that tho spectacle of a united neo pie, espousing the principles with which they themselves sympathized, would have been trrntifvinir in tho extreme, and would havo induced n hearty co-operation with, instead of a cowardly repudiation of them. Ono hardly knows whether the untiicai -North is moro ass-headed or sheep-hearted in its sentiments toward us. Only nn ass could suspect us of nn ngiiiiug.much less of plotting mischief to the country, anil only sheep could lear any such mischief from a people so utter iv unprovided with' tho means ol in dieting it.

Mr.j Wood remained in thu House only two yoars on this bdcaslou, but in 18UU liu again beoamo a candidate as an independent Democrat. ,lI desire tho election," he said "as a popular re buke to those who utter the malicious falsehood that during' tho war I was 'rebel sympathizer and disuuiouist.

He wns attentive lv heard in the Senate and bv mi unusu ally largo audience in tho galleries, lie said his joint resolution was submitted not with any hope ot lmmediato adop tion, but ns a contribution to tho agita tion from which alono a change could come. The anticipation of the original ors of the Klectoral College system, that it would secure a body ot intelligent citi zens tipou whoso Judgment and integrity in the event of difliculty the country could depend, had failed, tho Presidon tial electors being more instruments to vote for party candidates. Practically, that system threatened the country per wlically with civil wnr, corruption and anarchy. It was a relic of the old aris- tooratio theory of tho Federalists, having originated with Hamilton and his confed erates, who favored n life tenure for their President, and was accepted by tin early .Democrats only because they were obliged to take tho Constitution ns a whole and could not accept or reject il iu part, Tho idea of the district system was no new one. It was suggested in tho convention of 1789, and had sinct been elaborated from time to time. It did not contemplate an absolute cousoli datiou by a direct vote, but would be a direct, vote for the candidates iu each district, as made by each State. It was as different from an election by the ag gregate popular vote of tho country as il was from the present system. Review ing the details of th'-' proposition, which provide thatthe votes ot the district in each State aro to bo returned to a State canvassing board, whoso return is to be the only and the conclusive proof of tin resaltin the State; that thev are then to be certified to the Speaker of tho House and laid before the two houses, who art to count the votes and determine the re sult; that tho ballot by the people is to bo secret and by direot vote; that the number of districts iu each Stato is to be equal to tho wholo number of its senatoi and members in Congress; that each dis trict is to have one vote, and this voto to bo determined by the plurality inle. Mr. allaco said the plan ot minority repre seutatiqu tlinu secured iu each Slatt would eradicate ieaionaimm trout oui polities. .Under it Pennsylvania would uivo had In tho lut election probably nineteen voles for (iarlield and ten for Hancock while Virginia would have giv en eight for Haucook and three for Gar field. The plan would not impair State independence, for although a plurality yoto would elect, yet it would be fouud that a minority i.Yecideut would as fie quently be elected as now. Tho pluruli ty rule would obviate danger to the peace oj 'trie poiiiry to rcituit in a liu vote in the elcotora) jjoHeacs or In tho House o llenrcsontatlvos when voting for l'resi dent by States. Thu division of a State into districts would bo not upon tno i-auo of representation iu tho House, but upoi it ratio wliioh would include with the members iu the housp thu two Senators from a btatc.

It would not aid In thu destiiictlon ol sectional feeling but tho very reverse, for tho tondenuy of majorities Is always to grow, and when based upon passion or interest sectional majorities invariably Increases.
