DIVIDING THE SrorLs-A LOVELY ROW.
Gu Saturday last, the County Treasurer
reported to tho County Commissioners,
as by law he is required to do, that he
had $20,000 iu tho treasury subject to
i their disposition. Whereupou, os the
News has been informed by .a prominent
County oilicial, the Commissioners first
religiously mudo out their own accounts,
und drew what they estimuted was due
them to tho uttermost farthing. Their
wives and other relatives in County
offices were theu ulso paid up in full,
not to mention a check for $700 to C. C.
Bowen, for services the nature of which
is not stated. Their political friouds
uext received the liou's sharo of their
demands, while their political opponents
got a sop, which would not havo delayed
Cerberus for tho in?nitessimal part of a
second in his infernal ululations. She?
riff Maokey roceivod one-quarter, or a
trifle over, of what was claimed by him,
and Coroner Tuft received about oue
seveuth. The former immediately insti?
tuted suit for his balance, when thc
County Commissioners cums down aud
offered him 87,500 iustead of $5,000,
their first offer. This he refused, mid
tho County Treasury was immediately
enjoined, ns ?tated in yesterday's News.
Coroner Taft hus also instituted suit
aguiubt the County for tho 83,500 due
him. It is a vow pretty quarrel as it
stands. - Chariest^-? News.
No CHANCE ron UTAH.-Notbwith?
standing the efforts of the aouvoutiou of
Mormons to frame a constitution and
State Government, there is little or no
prospect that Utah will be lot iuto ?he
Union this session. Several members
of Congress assert that under no circum?
stances will any Territory, having less
population than the Federal ratio for a
Representative, bo admitted, and the
population of Utah comes under this
prhibitory clause.
Private information received iu this
city gives intelligence that tho Gentile
aud liberal Mormou population ure de?
cidedly opposed to tho udmissiou of
Utah, us they fear tho Mormons iu such
case would injure the mining uud other
iuterests of those opposed to them. It
is stated by parties believed to be
acquainted with the Mormon pro?
gramme, that iu their constitution they
will take no steps to suppress polygamy,
but will leave Congress to biko tho initi?
ative, which uotiou they will thou consi?
der.- Washington Patriot.
ACCIDENT ON THE SAVANNAH AND
CHAHI?ESTON RAILUOAD.-A fow minutes
after tho traiu for Gburlestuu had sepa?
rated from tho ouu for Savannah, at
Sultkehulchio Station, about noon, yes?
terday, tho boiler of tho hitter exploded,
and seriously, but it is hoped not fatuity,
injuring tho engineer uud fireman, yet
fearfully lacerating their faces, by blow?
ing tho glass in front of their compart?
ment iuto them. Fortunately, the ex?
plosion occurred at tho hot torn of thu
boiler, expending its force principally
upon thu ground. Tho ash-box was
thrown into tho nir and lodged ou tho
top of an adjacent tree. Hud tho explo?
sion occurred fifty yards further, when
tho traiu would bo crossing u trestle, u
most lamentable tragedy might have
taken place. It certainly would have
niven way und tho train precipitated
into tho river below.-Charleston Courier.

where wo publish tho exposure of the
oorreSpoudeuco of Ibu New York Tribune
as to tho designs of tho Grant tricksters
for a short session to suppress inquiry,
investigation, discussion, and reform
legislation. Mr. Sumner's citing of Se?
nator Moiton against himself us to the
policy of short sessions, is not tho first
instance of exposure of his political du?
plicity uud hypocrisy, fur his Indiana
npeeoli, supporting the policy of Andrew
Johnson, was referred to, a day or two
since, by General Blair ns being in bold
mid nuked antagonism lo his subsequent

confusion. The people generally seem
to sympathize with the Deputies, and
demand the retirement at the Segosta|

refused to doo ode. Troops have been

"There was a frog who lived iu a spring,

Puor, unfortunnto Batrachian! lu what a
sad plight ho must havo been. And yet bis
misfortune WHS one that often befalls singers.
Many a oiioo tuneful voico among thoeo who
belong to tho "ijenuS /tonio" la utterly spoiled
by "cold in the head," or on tho luuge, or j
both combined. For tho above mentioned
"croaker" we aro not aware that any remedy
was ever devised; but we r? joice to know that
all hum in singers may keep their hoads clear
and their throats in tune by a timely use ot
