The County Finances.
The Annual Exhibit of the condition of
the finances of the county will be found in to
paper. The settlement of the accounts
of the various officers by the Board of Audi
tors has been tedious. and laborious, but
may be relied upon as correct and scrupu •
lonely just to the tax-payers. The county
has never had more efficient Auditors and
Commissioners, or officers more watchful of
the public interests.
Joseph F. Randolph, Esq.
This affable and good-natured gentleman,
late Treasurer of the county, retired from
Oboe on Monday last, and in obedience to
the popular mandate was succeeded by our
Junior partner. Cu!. hommos. Mr. RAN
point has made a competent, obliging, and
attentive officer, and retires with the good
will and well-wishes of all who know him or
have had business with him during his term
or service ; and we are mistaken in the es
tigmte the people have formed of his fitness
and capability, U he is tot soon recalled from
his retirement to positions of equal respon
sibility and trust. In any event, every, body
pronounces him a princely good fellow and
"q9d's noblest work—an honest man."
"Jest So."
As some of our friends predicted, "BIG
Jot," since he got possession of the county
puree and funds, "refuses to nrvmx," and
the distressing poverty of the Senior Editor
is likely to continue at !oast two years longer,
indeed it should'ot become a life-long
affildion,) nnless he can get a "contract"
from the government to furnish blind mules
at $950 a head, spavined horses at half the
money, or rotten pork at 19 eta. per pound
(Won't somebody give us a letter to Stanton?)
Col. Jassmsras is a very clever man,—no
doubt of THAT, and no doubt "all the world
and his wife" think so ; but for about the °ne
in:mated and nineteenth time in our brief
political experience we have had occasion
to remark the wonderful difference hinted
st by a "Roman Consul in the early days of
that celebrated Republic," between the pro
fessions of men moron anti their practice
• obtaining office."
\. Recruiting Service.
Bete.' E. IL limon, of Co. I, Bth Pa.
Racer ea; ; son of L L MINOR, Esq., of - this
plane, has been detailed on recruiting service,
and will open an office in Brownsville in a
few days ; but is at present looking around
Hoeg his friends here. "En" has been one
of the best and bravest soldiers in his Regi
ment, and would hive had a commission
klag ago if the "powers that be" had done
him *tine.
A Chance for Bargains.
Oat nrighbor, J. C. LIGHTOAP, it will be
seen tv hiss advertisement in another column,
is closing out his large and varied assortment
of Boots, Shoes, Hats and Caps AT 008 T, as
Ire intends toleave the county in the Spring.
Hie numerous Mends will be sorry to hear of
this determination, for his courteous bearing
and uprightness of character have made him
not only a n agreeable acquaintance, but an
excellent althea. Before leaving, however,
he s disposed tc do the people all the good
'he can by offering them great bargains in his
Goods, which embraces almost every
sort of boot-ware and head-gear. Buyers
would do well to give hint a call.
The Benefits of Politeness.
Owning politeness to excess is said to be
raising your hat to a young lady in the
alismt and allowing a couple of dirty collars
and woke to fall out upon the sidewalk.—
Our lone and solitary friend, JOE PORTER,
has been exposed in this style "severial times"
lately, but don't seem to mind it, as be says
"he's getting used to it." Nor does it seem
to interfere with his business or his bargains
to customers. His stock is being fast cut
down with a view to replenishing, and our
readers•will find it just the time to buy to
advantage. Give biro a call.
Disobarged.
MOILIIR &AYERS, SPENDER MOCLZLLAN,
Joint Wirral, FRANK LINDSEY and CRAWFORD
CkytnamL, all of Waynesburg, have just
been discharged, after Ms months service in
the Park Battery of Pittsburgh. They have
all reached home and look well.
On a Visit.
Dent. Col. H. M. Muss, of the 2(1 Mis
souri Oavalry, formeriy an employed in the
Messenger office, and a good and gallant fel
low, Is on a brief visit to his family and
Mends in this county.
"Indian Lost."
An exchange paper illustrates the condi
-Ition ofnestegade Democrats pretty well. An
Italian who had lost his. reckoning in the
woods, soddenly stopped and exclaimed, "In
dian Lost ! • but unwilling to recognize his
own blunder thus, he thought a moment, and
added, "No! Indian not lost—wigwam lost."
There Mows that leave the Democratic party
never get lost—the party is lost.
The Commutation Clause.

the commutation clause in the Senate en

From the foregoing exhibits in
connection with the Auditors' state
ments, tde public can see the opera
tions of the Farm and House during
the year 186 t. The aggregate ex
randitures are sometihng larger than
those of the previous year; but when
the greatly incresed cost of provi
sions: and other necessaries for the
support of the inmates is consider
ed, the directors cannot but think
the institution bas been ecomomi.
cally conducted. Beaides this, the
number of paupers relieved during
the year has been materially greater
and the expenditures embrace the
item of sawing lumber for the barn,
which being for a permanent im
provement need not again soon oc
cur.

The expenses have also been
greater then they should be, through
the practice or rather the necessity
of paying for almost everything in
I County orders. Could the Directors
and Steward be furnished with
money to purchase the necessary
provisions, clothing, etc., we are
satisfied that a saving of at least ten
per cent could be effected. We
therefore earnestly recommend that
the law be so changed that the an
nual estimates shall be collected by
the Treasurer and paid in cash upon
the orders of the Commissioners to
the Directors. It will make no dif
ference to the tax-payers, as under
the old system he paid the poor tax
in cash, and urder the present, there
are but few mo pay their county
taxes entirely in orders.
We also again refer to the utter
unfitness of the building under its
present arrangement for the proper
and humane care of Insane paupers.
One room has been fitted up, so that
some degree of comfort and secnrity
has been attained ; but if the insane
of the county now at Harrisburg
and Pittsburg Hospitals, are brought
home, and put in our house of em
ployment, as it is now the intention
to do, some suitable provision must
at once be made fur their reception.
This will necessarily involve us is
conskinmate expense, which migut
have bees avoided by sdiferent ar- 1

house was built. It was not how

the city are fully five thousand feet above
the level of the stream In this valley or

The highest yield thus far to the pan has
