Mr Editor: I promisod myself, many years ago that I would never again en gage in a controversy with an ed itor th rou vch tho columns ol'his own paper. I enter Into this ?vith ex treme rel utan ce and regret, and with the hopi thal it may provo to ; be a very short ono niel \\ [thotlt un pleasantness I shall simply men tion tho point*" assailed in my lasl ?letter, and avoid all new lycints, i with the hope that this may bring it to ali end. ? In tho llrst place then :t simple statement ol tacts, cnn never bo j called an unfair modi- of rousonlng, und I submit to any honest ?ind in telligent man, if my statemonl i not strictly anti literally correct. Nlnctoen-twentlelh's of the money that is paid ill lo support the tul loona, is paid hy tl e people of the county, outside of tb own, and yet they ure not nile i a single voice ns to Its use, tu listributlon. If this is a flimsy Argument, I would to see a solid op . Of course I know that the law was a state law, but this does not. alter tho re sult. Of comae, tim people pf the coun ty do not want liar rooms located among them, and such ?tu inference could not be taken from that par agraph in my letter, nfl it was pro faced with the remark, "if there be any good it: lt," which of COlirso I know there was not. But, they want Justice done them with re gard to those located in the town, i.et it bc required that all monoy paid in for license be turned o^or into the county treasuary whore it rightfully belongs, and this will be doing something like justice (O'all parties. And T Will venture to say that such requirement WOO kl very shoji - ly put a stop to the license bu.sl n.-ss in nine-tenths of tho town-, in tho state. Thus a simple resort to Justice would also accomplish a mighty reform.

As to wether or nol thc "Murray Bill" will accomplish muru good, temperance men, and others nil over the county, many of thom ns able far seeing nu n aa we have among us, think that it will.

There is a j big crack in the lloor also, (brough which many a dime and dollar rolls : away, never lo be rcooverok, and I singularly enough this crack ex tends (brough tho oilcloth ami Hie carpel. What il costs the farmers ol'the country is clearly shown by Mr J, S iS. Moore, in Hie New York / imciti In issn the value of lloor oilcloth j roducod at home was about 4?(1,000, * "i'11.

If the parlor needs forty square yards of tapestry Brussels, the far mer will, in tilt? price, nay a tax <>f $10 0-1, and will have lo sid 1 twenty bushels of wheat or half a bale of cotton to meet it.
