Tho voters of Atchison conntv, Mo.,
voted twice upon a proposition to build
a foity thousand dollar court house at
Hock Port, tho county seat, tho old
court houo becoming unlit for use;
and it failed to carry. Since then tho
county couit has ordered a court house
to bo built and set apart tflf.,000 of
county funds, on hand, to ho used for
that purpose so far as it may go. Cer
tain parties objecting to sticli a pro
ceeding applied to tho district court for
an injunction to stop it, and claimed
tho injunction on tho ground that tho
law provides that any extraordinary
oxponso could not bo incurred except
ing upon a vote of the people. Judge
Kelly, after heating tho ease refused
tho injunction. Thu judge in his opin
ion admits the existence of the law
above lefofivd to hut cites another pro
vision to the effect tl at the "county
court of eaoii county 1ms power from
time to time tu alter, tepair or build
any county buildings." In connection
with tins law tho judge held that "the
county court contract beyond ii.iabill.
ty to pav out of tho current county
revenue," and Hint it is not uecessarv to
vote upon tho question "unless it be
comes necessary to incur an Indebted
ness in excess of the total Income and
rovenuo of tho county proided for the
current year." The judge further hold
that it is discretionary with the county
court as whether they now make it
complete building orn pint of a one;
that it may build by "separate con
tracts made each year as the condition
of tho revenue may permit." Tho
judge further hold that when the coun
ty court deems it necessary to build or
repair public buildings, a tax may bo
levied for that purpose under thu com
mon head of current expenses. In this
view of tho case, tho voting of bonds
to build a court house, or other public
buildings, when necessary, is not re
quired absolutely by law.
The following, clipped from an ox
chango is tho solid truth:
"Whatever may bo said of Congress
man Jlutterworth's speech, so much
mouthed about by his opponents, it has
had tin effect of silencing many of tho
tongues of slander against the presi
dent. The solid array of iacts was too
hii?h to climb. The president, patiunt
to listen and guarded at every point to
Hcrvejis best no can

couragements and dllllculities never
before equaled, he lias mot the respon
sibility and been equal to the demands
of tho hour. If his honorable course
does not win from tho best approval,
then wo have mistaken tho lovo of
honesty and fair dealing. "While noisy
politicians have been howllim about
'bossisiu" and "tho spoils system," tho
president, with modesty and dignity,
has administered public affairs so as to
make tho cries of the malcontents sim
ple impertinences, backed by no sub
stantial facts.

Lottor From Majors,
"Washington, D. C, July 12, 1832.
To the Honorable Jfombemof the, Judi
ciary domintlteenfttio Forty-Secenth
Conyreiis :
(.i:ntm:mi:n: Vrovlous to entering
Into the merits of tho issue that has
been raised beforo 'y1" committee!
touching my conduct in tho effort to
obtain my seat in tho forty-sovonth
congress, I desiro to say: That until
1 canto before your committeo on tho
0th of July tnst., I was not awaro that
any investigation had bpon proceeded
wlt.h, or that any witness had been ex
amined who had in the least tellected
upon me as having in any umunur con
contributed to imposing on your com
mittee by the presentation of a forged
certillcate of tho secretary of tho state
of Nebraska. If I had been notified
at the beginning of this investigation
that L might have been present at tho
examination of all tho witnesses, the
committee would huvo saved much
timo, tho government some expense,
and nijsolf some little utinoyanco iih
well as being humiliated by tho cloud
of suspicions that temporarily hung
about my name.
In tliis whole subject i lm" but ono
duty to perform, and that is to stand
before your committee, which always
iccoivod me with tho must distinguish
ed consideration, as an honest man and
innocent of any crime or illegal prac
tice, and I further most solemnly ' reit
erate, that I did not insert tho llguros
"1872" In tho certillcate In question,
nor do I know who did do It, and that
L delivered It to the Hon. Edwin AVil
litls, chairman of the sub-committee,
precisely as 1 received It from tho
mail.
J have not been allowed to read tlio
statements of witnesses that weio ex
amined previous '-to my arrival in
Washington on tho 'Oth inst,, and only
from hearsay do I know that this im
position on the committeo is imputed
to me. f1.
Having bgen repeatedly informed by
my predecessor, Mr. Ilawos, and by our
state olllcurs at different times that tho
census was taken in 1872, and no one,
up to the timo that tho question of
date was raised in your committee,
over haying disputed it as a fact, it did
not occur to nio that there had been au
insertion of dates.
Tho luuorot transnuttal lufttjm
closed lUoIcurUflcitto mado no mention
ol any change in tho document from
the timo it left the hands of tho secre
tary of state, nor was there any infor
mation embodied in that letter from
which I could know that thero had
been amendment to, or change to, tho
certificate.
Learning that thero was still u doubt
about the taking of tho census, I con
cluded that I would go home and pur
sonally examine tho iccords, of which
lad I notified Judge Willitts and Val
entine. On my wa to Nebraska I saw by
the dispatches that tho report was, by
teqiiest of the chairman of tho com
mittee, recommitted, and after my ar-.
lival at home, by a letter from tho sec
letaiy of state, 1 learned that tho cen
sus was not perfected In 187U, and I
wrote Mr Valentine, ho informing
him. This was tho llrst Information
that camo to me that tho cortlllcato of
the secretary of state was not genuine.
If I had thought thoro was even a
suspicion that I had perpetrated, this
fraud, I would have at unco rotiirned
to Washington and demanded au in
vestigation. That I was earnest, anx
ious and poihaps ovor-zealous In my
efforts to supply the committeo with
all needed information requested to
satisfy them of the justieoof tho state's
claim for additional representation,
which was roqulied of me, in con
formity with tho demands of my state,
is doubtless true, but that I ever pur
petiated this fraud and deception upon
the committeo l most solemnly uony.
Having passed tho meridian of 'lifo
with an unsullied reputation I vppo.il
to tho fairness of this committeo and
hope I hoy will loach out and gather
in all tiie facts that will in any way
throw light upon this matter, without
four, favor or piejudice, to tho end that
justice may obtain. Conscious of my
own innocence.I have no fear when all
tho facts aro befoto you.
