Voorhoes brought omo wibh bir 25,000 of back-pay, sad 1t would ba o bowutiful spectacle to seo the Democracy veward him with tho Senatorship. Mr. Dowling Hien related the following littlo story: Throo lownships of Vigo County had mado a subscrip- Lion of 810,000 to the Noulhwestorn Railway, running through that cownty, snd tho tax was placed upon the duplicato for collection, The rond bad pot been bulit accordiug to prom- iso, and tho pooplo of the townahips songht rolief from tha taxation, ‘Tho Buoard of County Commissionors omployed “Voorheos to Jook aftortho case, but Dowling says the suit wos docided before he ovor did auythisg. ‘When the matter was all sottled, tho Commis- slonera woro astounded at rocciving a bill from M.

Voor- hees sware us would noever accopt it, nor $1,5600, nor indeed o dollar less than the amount of his bill, and asked of Dowling tho privilege of making an argument before thoBoard. Dowling acceded, paying that ** A poor dovil of a Commis- sioner hiad nothing elso to do than tosit and listou to such blatherskites at $8a day." Pay- ment of the bill was rofused.
