I*nre PI-Hre. Helioion is rich with glad influences; Tor if is a principle infiuitly varied—it presides over the different phases of human life, and sanc tions and hallows them nil, Religion forbids folly, forbids excess, forbids an empty, frivol ous living—and who wishes to live so?—Re ligion bids us have a lime for all things and w isely live for a higher, purer destiny than any on this earth.— It bids u not lie profane, or indolent, or licctuions, or wasteful. Who wishes to be so ? Rat it does not stay us of one true joy. It forbids not one innocent amusement. Look up at the sky Is not an expression of cheerfulness and joy there, blen ded with purity! Look abroad upon the earth— is not nature glad ? Has not Cod donpled the valleys into smiles and thrown sunlight over the water, and crowned the hills with rejoiceiug i It is true, life has n atty duties, different spheres in life have different measures of duty and true conscience must al ways consult circumstances without anil tin great law within ; but pleasure, amusement— Religion forbids them not —it gives them a more genuine and delightful ministery titan anything else can. Rut not only this. Ii sow* Within us seeds of an undying joy that fails not when outwa-d means of happiness fail—when animal spirits grow feeble and low, when sorrows darken and cares appall This it gives lie, shedding abroad a holy Ser enity in the heart, and therefore allows us nothing that is treacherous and wrong ; but all that makes happy and grateful and good, it opens for us in abundant measure. It makes the spire of glass and the star beautiful ministers of de’ight. And do we think that we must sacrifice pleasure by choosing Relig ion as our guide and our end ? It is a sad mistake, as they well know who cling to the chalice of sin, and drink the bitterness of its dregs. Do not hesitate to follow Chiist, be cause you think your pleasure will be less.— Every real source of enjoyment, every truly pleasant thing, it sanctions, and deprives ns only of the evil—and even for this it far more repays us. It tuay chock a boisterous folly, but is bestows enduiing peace of mind. It may pnt back the hand that reaches out often clustering deceits, but it lights the pale cold face with a smile in death. Nothing, that is lawful now. will be unlawful when you join the church. No true pleasure will be les a pleasure theu— it will be deeper aud more beoefidUL, KUft’OKT OF THE COMMITTF.K ON THE Kccords ond Finances; OK CiliblOLL COUNTY. The Grand Jury of April Term of the Superior court of Cat roll couuty, recommended to the Inferior court of this county, that E. 11. Mar tin Allen Ilowe. and S. Kingsbury be appointed, by them, a committee to examine the Records and Finan ces of this county, and we, E. B. M artin, ami S. Kingsbery, in mtrstt ance of that appointment make the following report. Allen /'owe, al though often requested, has not ser ved with, or assisted us in the ex amination, or report. In our investigation we find that there is some difficulty in ascertain ing the precise amount that our court house has cost. The original con -1 tract for building it was $8,500. and we find that the Treasurer has paid ‘out for that purpose $8,211 27,in | eluding interest, and that there are yet unpaid drafts the principal of which is S3OO, making a total of *s,f>ll 27, The Treasurer has also paid six hundred and seventy twoj dollars and seventy cents for extra work —leveling Public Square, gut- 1 taring court house, lightning rods, I tilling ditch, and draft of the court | ! house. The entire cost of the court hou-ve and improvement of the Square, we find to be nine thousand one hundred nud eighty three dol lars and ninety seven cents. In examining County Treasurer’s books, we find him indebted to the comity for pauper funds, forty-eight dollars and sixty eight cents, and for county funds two hundred and eigh teen dollars and seventy-five cents. One hundred and eighty dollars of this last item, he say v, is an error be tween himself and our former tax collector. But, Johnson e.\ltib ited to n.3 the TreasurerV receipt sot that much more than he (the Treasur er) had charged to himself upon his book, as received from him, the cor j m-tion of which docs Hot belong to ; ns, but to be settled between them selves. Total amount, up to the, date of our examining his book, due the county from him, two hundred and sixty-seven dollars and forty seven cents.

We Lind, on examining the tix col lectors’ books, and tho settlements with them by our Inferior court, thut they i have allowed them seven per cent tor collecting the pauper funds, when the law only allows them live per cent. Some -.f the collectors claim that the Infetior court gave them their insolvent list, but which the members of said court deny. On tax executions, issued by Mr. Jones, former tax collector, wc find col looted, and not accounted for, fifteen dol lars and thirty two cents, and insolvent I executions not returned issued bv him, | amounting to one hundred and thirty four I dollars and eighty cents, besides cost; } which, if collected, belongs to the county, as they’ve paid the lax colloctor said cost. We find then, is duo from Mr. John son, our former tax collector, for the years 1858-9, eight hundred and fifty dollars and seventy seven cents, besides the insolvent list for 1858, amounting to two hundred and Seventeen dollars and thirty eight cents, which lie has not re turned ; the collector claiming and re questing, this year, to collect and return them fur 1859. Wc also find that the ! Treasurer lias charged to himself twenty ! dollars, as received front our former tax collector, for which the collector exhibi ted no receipt. TAX RECEIVERS. To tho receivers of tax returns our In ferior court, up to 1857, have paid them the same per cent, for receiving tho tax returns for county purposes, that they paid to the collectors, when we can find no authority for so doing; but we will here remark, that up to that timo. it was the custom, and generally believed tliro’- out tho State to bo correct, until our Su- preme court decided to the contiary.! Since then they paid Mr. Bledsoe, former | tax receiver, the same per cent, for the year 1857, except the amount assessed for the building of our new court house, amounting to upwards of one hundred : dollars, so far as wo can ascertain, not : being able to find tho order of the Infe rior court for that purpose ; having dili -1 gently examined, with the assistance of our piv-eot clerk of the said court, the record ot said court, a.id etui find no such ordpr recorded ; yet he t'ite . ark.) : and laeuwers of Hut court, together with Mr. Bl’ d-oe, admit it to have been done. We cfenitoi ret"U - i upon the financial pro coed in.- of earlier tax collectors and receivers with any approximating coroct tio-s * because tho former treasurer and ft portion of our present treasurer’s liookj. tour", her with their vouchers, were bnrnjtsbefore stated, with I>r. Tan- 1 llei Ypiiccf SHERIFF. CLERK OF THE 81PKRIOR COURT, Solicitor, anu ordinary. It lias been, and as wo believe, is now the custom of our Infetior court to pity to the Shenlf of tin's county one hundred ands xty dollars uonmillv, for extra ser vices, when we cannot find that he lias rendered more service titan is required of hiui as shontV; and that stun is more than dvitlne the nm-uint paid to their -heriff by the most wealthy county ad joining us. In examinin'; the books of tlie Superi or court, kept by our former clerk, we find them neatly and correctly kept; ex cept. lor thu year 1859, we find no record of tho State cases upon tlicdockett. The clerk informs ns that our former solicitor took the bills and presentments into his possession, and lias not returned them to him, with the request to have them en tered upon tlie dockett. \Yo could not ascertain how our solici tors have paid out tlie money they have received for fines and forfeitures, for the teas -n, with others, stated above ; but , have ascertained that smite of them have collected several largo fines, which we cannot find accounted for. We find that our present clerk of the Superior court lias kept bis kooks neatly alt.! ‘“■o'-i i tlv. We have examined the books and 1 vouches, kept by our Ordinary court and find them very neatly and correctly kept, i We find that ho received for educational purposes tor 1859, two thousand seven hundred and ninety nine dollars ; deduct- ing bis commission and amount paid lot his books, one hundred and forty dollars and forty live cents ; leaving for dist-i- Inition, two thousand six hundred and fifty eight dollars and fifty five cents ;; and has paid out as per voncliers, two j (.I'Qjh-nml IV -a r him drill and nineteen -I •!- niSand thirty one cent- ; has remaining in ois hands uncalled l-.r, two bundled and nineteen dollars and twenty four cents ; leaving ti ballanco ot hand of twenty dollats, •alticli lie charges fur ex tra services : rvll having done nothing as ‘.v# can fit >t be* wimt the law rertnir -1 ed ot him. nntl for which ho received, as 1 per commission, one hundred and thirty nine dollars and ninety live cents. The two last items we think would bo prop erly disposed of, if added to tlie fund of this year, a- probably but little, if any, of the two hundred and nineteen dollars and twenty four cents, will be called Ur, ns most of tlie teachers have left for parts unknown, as he informs us. INTKUtoK COURT CI.EHKS. On examining the books of our Infe rior e t. we find that our former clerk, Dav’.l Rowling, bus kept them iteatlv a nil correctly. Wo 11 and only one order not recorded, which was the insolvent list for 1855 ; lie informing us that it was passed in vt,cation, funded to the tax collector, aid never cnniv into his bands. On examining the books kept by our present clerk of the Inferior court, we find them imperfectly kept. Wc find that lie has drawn drafts, which liavo been paid, to the amount of one thousand three hundred and eight dollars ami seventy cents, upon our county Treasurer. For tho issuing of them, wc can find no order ot our Inferior court upon their records. We find front his License book that ho ha- received for issuing licenses, seventy seven dollars sixteen and tvo tbird cents ; and from he Estray books, seventeen dollars and filly two tents: ‘notes given tor Ivany, remaining in his hands, twenty dollars and thir'y two cents; ami notes given for rent of court house rooms, one hundred and twelve dollars and fifty cents ; also accounts (or rent of court house rooms, fifty two dol lars and fiity cents, And we learn from him and some of Ihe members of our In ferior court, that he lias collected from showmen, thirty live dollars; peddlers, fifteen dollars; and from his receipts exhibit, and to us, eleven dollars and forty cents, tl.e net proceeds of the sale of Es trays; and front Ileliry Asbury, Esq., between forty five and fifty dollars. M. Bowling, Esq., about thirty dollnrs. J. M. Cheeves, Esq., two dollars j tor which I several sums he has not accounted tor. Also, there has been posted, as appears from his Estray book. Estrays which were appraised at one hundred and sev- I enty three dollnrs and titty cents; and iwo can find no further disposition | inado of them—all amounting to five i hundred and ninety three dollars and ninety cents. Many orders for bridges and for other purposes, and tho insol vent list, we find are not upon the re cords of our Inferior court. We find that he has paid into the county Treas urer’s office thirteen dollars, for Jury fees, which is all that he has paid into that office since ho received bis com mis'. sion as clerk of the Inferior court, as the books of out county Treasurer show. All of which is respectfully submitted to the Honorable Inferior court of Cur- , roll county’, Cia. litst week of October Term, 18l>i>, E. 11.
