BY JULIAN A. SELBY. That Indictment Against the County Commissioners.?Tho beginning and end of tho indictment instituted by Senator Smith againBt our County Commission? ers' for diverting the special tax of two mills, levied in 1874, to the payment of the indebtedness of the County, con? tracted prior to that year, may be ex? pressed in a nut-shell, thus: "Parluri unt monies, nascilur rediculus mns," or in plain English: The mountains labor and a ridiculous mouse is born.' According to his Honor's construction of Lbu law, tho County Commissioners had not vio? lated it, and the whole structure of tho indictment fell suddenly to tho ground without noiso. Wo have no fear that tho present Board of County Commissioners will violate tho law in any respect, or fail to perform their official duties as men of high tono and character?as Christain gentlemen, who, knowing their duty, will daro perform it Thoy in their official capacity have no foes to punish, no friends to make. [Marion Slav, 8omebody wrote to the editor of a | country paper to ask how ho would ?'break an ox?" Tho editor answered as follows: "If only one ox, a good way would bo. to hoist him, by means of a I long chain attached to his tail, to the top | of a polo forty foet from tho ground. Then hoist him, by a rope tied to his | horns, to another polo. Then descend on his baok n five-ton pile-driver, and, if that don't break him, lot him start a country newspaper and trust people for subscription. One of the two ways will do it, sure." t The party out of power in Spain is re? solved to obtain a new constitution, and has held a largo meeting at Madrid, at which 600 ex-Deputies were present. The troubles of tho boy King are only beginning, and it seems impossible that he should continue long upon tho throne. But all things nro possible in . Spain?except peace. Even a republic is not incredible, for is not Alfonso a ] greater miracle? A special from Anandale, N. J.. says the Rev. John Porter, of Bethlehem Bap? tist Church, who got married a mopth ago, has been convictod of seducing Miss Selinda Squires, a farmer's daughter. Tho clergyman formerly boarded with the farmer, and Miss Squires was his fa? vorite pupil. She is in an interesting ' condition, and having accused him, he confessed all. He has been dismissed from the churoh. The New York Herald says General | Sherman has at last found a warm and determined combatant. The letter ofl Montgomery Blair to Mr. Browne, the editor of - the HouViern Magazine, which we, publish in advance of its publication elsewhere, is not only a contradiction of General Sherman, but an arruignment of his military oareer. There is likely to bo [ plenty of contemporaneous history writ? ten from the text of the "Memoirs"" She was beautiful, but she had feet, such as they seem to have in Chicago, and when she was just recovering from illness and said, in response to an inquiry, that "she could just put one foot before the other," tho spiteful friend responded, "And that is a great deal." The body of John Black ford, an Ame? rican actor, who was lost three years ago in trying to ascend Mont Blano without fuides, is said, by a Swiss newspaper, to ave been found in an immense block of ico which recently fell from the moun? tain. The body is thoroughly preserved. "No, I stayed to home and had a spell with the baby while my wife went, ond the young one fetched the hired girl and I myself dowh fourteen times on "colic,"] and wo didn't get it right until Mrs. Gudd came home from the spelling | school. Rev. Father Lake, formerly of St. Ann's Church, Twelfth street, New York, I has abandoned the pulpit, married and gono to California. The wife of the ex priest iB said to be young, wealthy and accomplished. The Newport (.Rhode Island) Xeics warns its friends outside the State "that we will not tomoly submit to irreverent remarks about our F?ze, for wo are large enough to boast of two capitals and four candidates for Governor. The Confederate Memorial Monument in Savannah was unveiled on the 25th, in the presence of a largo crowd, includ? ing the military, under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. There is a Frenchman on his travels in England, who writes home that in Liver? pool the hearses stand at the corners in rows waiting for customers, just as cabs do in other places. A crusty old bachelor 'made a will, leaving his entire furniture to be di-J vided among the girls who had refused1 him. "For to them," he added, feeling? ly, "I owe all my early happiness!" The Albany Evening Times flays that the Sneaker's deBk Of the New York As? sembly has had six new tops during the past sesBion of the Legislature. Waldeck, thd centenarian, had his lit? tle joke.'
