r- V .. tiAur taw. nn anted by tllO LeglS
lature of 1S8S, substituting fixed snlurfen
instead of fees In this county as compen
ntlen for county efllcere haa geno into
effect e far as relates te the Incoming
district attorney, peer directors mid
eaunty surveyor. Under Ha previsions
the district attorney will recolve 3,000 ;
tbe peer directors cacli $250, nud tlie
ceuntv surveyor $150 : there eeetni te be
no prevision except by the coutlnunnce
of the old salary law for prison in
spectors. The effect of the new law
Trill be felt meat sensibly upon the
emoluments of the court heuse efllcers
whose places nre te be filled in (he elec
tlens of the coming year, and it will
only be after experience with them that
Us beneflclal operation can be fairly
estimated. The geed result anticipated
for the public Is protection from the
rapacity of efllclals whose Incentlve te
take Illegal fees will be removed by
making their compensation no longer
dependent upon the amount of their
fees collected, which are hereafter te
be covered Inte the county treasury.
But It is te be remembered that the
act establishing salaries for county olll elll
cers provides that they shall only receive
these amounts If the net receipts of their
offices aggregate se much, and in the
failure of this they shall receive only
such proportion of the statutory salaries
as the net receipts of their olllcesameunt
te. These net receipts are calculated,
after paying out of the gross the salaries
of their clerks nud deputies, thn number
and pay et whom are te be fixed by a
joint beard of the county c immissieners
and auditors, subject te appeal te and
the approval oftheceurt. County officers
te have the benefit of this law, are
required also te attend personally te the
duties of their place.
It will be seen, therefore, that In the
iaceptleu of the new law's operations its
practical efllclency will deitend very
largely upon the beard of control, con cen
slsting of the commissioners and audi
ters, and as these places ure te be Mled
during the coming year, their selection
should be a subject of grave care with
both political parties. The large re
Bpensibillty added te their duties require
that men of capacity, firmness and in
tegrity be chosen if the salary bill is te
produce geed results. It ought te be
understood early In the campaign that
any ether kind of candidates for these
places will be rejected by the people.
Senater TnunsiAN has addressed a
great aud characteristic letter te the
Democrats in the Ohie Legislature, who
are about te select a senator. Mr. Payne,
an able aud very wealthy Democrat of
Cleveland, has come forward te wrest the
B2at from Pendleton. He is the represent
titi ve of corporate and financial influence
and believed te be particularly supported
by the Standaid oil company, of which
his son is one. Judge Thurman takes
his stand for Pendleton's reelection, be
cause of thi character of the opposition
te him. It Is the opposition of a iewerful
few, sustained by the influence of wealth.
Judge Thurman desires the Democratic
pirtv te be led by no such lnflii
euce, and plainly and boldly sas se.
He speaks t raukly as tit feels strongly,
aud gives the sound advice whieh comes
from a patriotic heart aud a clear mind.
Tliere are Intter, because abler, men in
Ohie than Mr.Pendleten.nf whom Judge
Thtiimau himself is chief. If the contest
befere the Democrats in the Legislature
was waged as te the individual merit of
fie aspirants, Mr. Pendleton might net
bs selected and Mr. P.iyne might be,
with credit aud propriety. Hut when
Mr. Payne is urged by Improper inllu
euces his selection will be improper, and
the cheice of Mr. Pendleton or whoever
can bieast the dictation of money te the.
party is demanded by considerations
which lay cloje te the party's salvation.

Tlie eelil weather of last week steadily
grew worse until Friday nud Saturday
nights, when the mercury touched zero.
Such weather in Southern latitudes Is
productive of the most dreadful conse

neither with shelter, feed nor previsions
for such a tate of things. On Sittiulay
It was learutd that in Atlanta hundreds of

and fuel, which would be distributed bj

At neon there were gathered tegntliei
about thirty weed wagons, and as many

took their place ns drivers, each with a
weed wagon and a piovisien wagon unihr

city, milking all day until nightfall. Se me
indescribable scenes of Miftcriug were

All day Monday the Constitution 0U1.JO
looked rnore like n military supply depit

clamorous for relief. Tlie wagon trams
also continued at work The respouse el
the merchants te the call for supplies has
been surprising iu its liberality.
The weather is still raw and bitterly
cold, yet it is safe te say that there is nut
a heuse or abut in the city where tbe

" line thing has already been demon

" All these thiiius taken into oensidera
tien nu think Lmo.ister eeuiity should
take front rank in the matter as she did in
seed lear, ns it is a weli established fact
she can beat the world raising it."
I'lin .Minilni-iardr.' Vlei ul It.
Many eigar nianuractuieis, tee, dec'are
that if the Lmo.ister ceuuty raiscra will
tuiii their attention te Uav.iua, tbey need
hae no fear of Sumatra competition, for
the oigariuakeis must havti the tialive

kets fei their goods. They say the
use of Havana tillers is a necessity. Seed
leaf can't possibly compete with them uu
der any ciiciimstaiices. Ner can it coin cein cein
pee with llnviiua wrappuis. With the
duty oil of Havana tobaceo the in uke ts

tobacco instead of protecting American te
bacej gieweis in icnhty protects Cuban
cultivators of the weed. Theie isneqiies
tleu of the superiority of Ameiieaii
metliels of uiaiiiHauuiriu.! cn;ars. mid as
II ivana tobacco is indispeusable te a geel
eigar, if no could obtain it without duty,
we could compete with the world."
"But" said ihe rip uter, "if we a hint
ted Hai ana true of duty, we should nls.i
have te admit Mmu n, Sumatra and all
ether kinds of foreign tobaccos,"
'Very well , suppose there were lib nd
mitted, what injury would ensue Tue
Auiuiicau tobace laruiur might 'kick,'
but in the eud he would net be injured
Through having feicign tobaceo Iree of
duty we would gaiu a large oxpe.t bum
uefs, and just that much mere seed leaf
would be required. Of course, it is
iliiderste xl that we oanuet get along
without s.'ed leaf tobacco. As long as
cigars are ma le in thisoeiintiy that will be
needed."
"Iho Amririe.iu growers of tobacco
might net obi 'jet te the admission of 11 1

matra." " 1 de njt bdle've any roil ojuipjtitien
with Sumara tebiccj exists. Whouevor
American growers of tobiceo will properly
ouluvate their crops they will be preferred
te Sumatra. The preference is nivcn te
the latter only wheu the iintivu plant is of
tee peer an appearauce te use for wrappers.
Pi ice has nothing te de with It. Ai u
proof et this, leek at tlie roadmen of silo
with whieh geed Havana feed moeU It
is oue of the remirkible Mosytieraciua of
the avurage American tobacco farmer that
notwithstanding geed Havana seed te
bacce always commands a geed price, you
cannot iuduce him te cultivate it te any
extent. But whether American tobacco
fanners grew Havaua seed or common va
neties of seed leaf, if they will only glve
their tobacco piepcr attention they neail
have no fear of compotitien w ith f oreign
tobaecos. Frem a politico economical
standpoint I think it bad policy te tax raw
material, and this view is belug generally
entertained by American statesmen."

Tlie Liucaster market remains unusu
ally dull, and dealers say it will remain
dull until the Sumatra question is uatlsfae
terily arranged It is thought very littie
will be dene for n mouth or six weeks.
During the past week about 100 cases of
'81 wero disposed of and 50 or 00 eases of
'82 in small lets. Ne sales of '83 have
reached us, but a few lets of Havana seed,
previously bought, have been delivered at
the warehouses aud are reported te be
very line. Doalers are deiug all they can
te induce farmers te plant this vatiety of
tobacco next season. They say it la
exactly suited te our soil nud soaten, nnd
growers who tried it last year will plant
much mere of it the coming season.

The above reports bhew very plainly a
disposition en thu part of fcoine of the pro pre
tended trade nuthoilties te " hedge" ou
t he question of the importation of Sumatra.
It is heeu net te bu snob a turrible danger
as it has been lopiesontod. Hulsers nud
home buyers, tee, are very mueh less pau
lekytluu heiotefore, aud ihe following
from au experienced representative of the
tobaceo interest here at home expresses
a oensoiviitivo vlew of the questieu :
"The annual cry of Sumatra is heard
among the tobacco moil and business is ut
a standstill. About a yeui uge when
Ceiigiess wau iotitienid nud did put ou a
tariff of fuveiity-llvu cents a pound we had
expected that it wnt settled, but it uew

the liw jis It Is, no inore no less.
"As te what Congress can or will de
thore is faint hope, nud evon if thore is
anything dene it will be far time in the
