The testimony of the commissioners is

Beport or the County Auditors
The Report of the County Auditors, was
on Monday presented to the Court, and .
read by George M. Kline. Esq.:
Wo the undersigned Auditors, of Lancas
ter County do certify that we have carefully
examined the above account of William -
Thomas, Treasurer of said County, and
compared his vouchers with the same, and
find that there is a balance in his hands this
3d day .of -January,• 1670,'of'thirty-one
thousand two hundred and forty-seven
80-100 (31,247.83) dollars, which amount be
has turned over to the present Treasurer
and produced his receipts for the same. .-
have also examined the account-of
Cliri:Aian Gast, Treasurer of the Poor and
Rouse of Employment - of LantiaSter*Coun - -
ty, and tied a balance in Ids hands of one
hundred:.aod twenty-1141e qB4OO, dollars,
($126.68.)
We have atao examined the account of
Christian - Lefever, Treasurer, of the Board
of Prison Inspectors, and find a balance in
his favor of $571.50. . • -
The present indebtedness of the .Connty
of Lancaster is cum hundred and fifty-seven
thousand, five hundred and twenty-five
and 35-100 dollars ($157,525.35.) The Audi
tors met in the Orphans' Court Itoom on
Monday, the 8d of January, 1870, and en
tered upon their duties.
They are pleased to state that the late
County Treasurer, Mr. William Thomas,
charged himself in IS6B, with $475.91, and in
1860, with $640.12 interest on money of the
County loaned out by him during his
official term ; thus adding to the Treasury
receipts $1115.03, and showing'an example
that would have been as creditable for his
predecessors to have initiated, as it will be
for his successors to imitate. The taxpayers
of the County will respect and appreciate
him accordingly, as one among many. His
conduct conclusively proves that a faithful
and upright officer can as readily and safely
make money for the County out of the
County money as Le can for himself; a
theory which heretofore has been Practical
ly denied.
They cannot resist the conclusion, that
the County Prison is managed in an expen
sive manner for the sole benefit of the
Keeper, when with proper care and econo
my, thousands of dollars might be happily
saved. The charges for maintenance of
convicts, prisoners on trial and vagrants
are entirely too high. It is not oxpeeted,
nor is it right, that the prison should yield
enormous profits to any one. The officers
should be duly compensated, but not en
riched by a few years' service at the cost of
the people. Instead of it being a source of
great expenditure it should be one of in
come, if compatible with the rights of the
inmates. Nor should the emoluments be
such as to excite the cupidity of unscrupu
lous men and make every year's election a
disgusting scramble for its control. Faith
ful and competent men can as readily be
found as those of another class, and if the
appointment or the Inspectors was given
to our Conn, the prison would no longer
present itself as a mere political machine to
be managed fin• private thrift.
By our prison rules and regulations it is
directed that each convict shall be fed as
follows: One pound of rye or wheat bread
daily; one pint of coffee in the morning;
half a pound of beef made into soup and
four potatoes at noon ; mush in the even
ing, and half a gallon of molasses per
month ; for which the Keeper receives 25.
28 and 30 cents per head daily, according to
the whole number-in the prison at any one
time. Any housekeeper can make the cal
culation and find that 15 cents a head or
less offers a suMeient compensation. Not
ten years ago the rations cost but 18 cents,
and those who know do assert that the
Keeper made several thousand dollars a
year, and there . are those who now will
undertake to furnish such rations at 15a18
cents. At present rates, the Beeper must
accumulate money on his own account
very rapidly, not less than s2o' a' day clear
of all expense.' Froth Ist December, 186,3, to
10th November, 1869, Inclusive, he fed A
UL days at a cost of $13.217.95 to,the county.
His rates being 30 Os. a day for the four
first inepths, 28 cts.for the next 7 months,
and 25 kis. for'. the last Month, titiiirding
.111th eni average of 2S cts, per day; or nearly
twice as much as .the, rations cost. -At un
average profit ofl4 cts. he would net MOS.-
On, which, with a salary of 700. his house
rent free, garden, and other privileges,
would afford a compensation far in excess
of what it should be, especially as it is di
rect from the pocketsothis.fellow-citizens,
and is double ,the salaries of our Judges,,
and $2,500 more than that of the Covet nor.
. In connexion with this, we cannot avoid
noticing the superserviceable traffic in i
vagrants daily -sent to prison and - enter
tained at the expense of the county. They
are arrested and discharged, rearrested and
committed on the same day, and by some
revolving or rotary process known to the
law, are rearrested, recommitted and re
discharged. '' both early and often,'! during
the winter, making the prison a Universal
Hotel for the accommodation of all who
thiough, idleness or crime commend them
selves to some kind-hearted official win,
through love of the Fee-Bill, generously
sends them back as often as they come,
honestly charging the county fifty cents
for cotntnitment and thirty writs for arrest
in each case. As the nu tither is legion with
hopes of an increase, the expense is consld
et able and should be abated. The inmates
of 1860 being one-third more than those of
1859 and increasing the number of days for
rations from .25,085 to 46,141. .
The Auditors suggested last year as a
means of economy, and the best preventive
of favoritism, that the printing, bridge
building, and other important work should
be given to the lowest bidder on public no
tice, as is most common with the best man
nod corporations, but.that suggestion was
disregarded by our Coinmissioners who
prefer to travel in the old ruts. The print
ing, book nub job - work, are given out with
out any evidence of bids having been invi
ted, consequently we now can realize no
saving or reduction or pliee. So with the
painting of he Court House, which was let
out at $.1 . .75 a day, the county to erect a scar
fold. Some of the best workmen of respon
sibility Have assured the Auditors, that if
notice bad., been given, they would gladly
have undertaken it at $2.50 per day without
a scaffold, by which there might have been
a saving,of from $l,OOO to $1.500. .This is
deemed undeniable, from the fact that the
very mechanic who obtained the contract,
had p: evlously worked at the Poor House
for $2.25 a day, and others had worked there
' forss a day, and less.. The work of , repine
ing and repairing the bridges at Hunseck
:ere,'Edeia 'and Pointtowri, vas ' eoritMnteci
for privatelY,without donee; at $5 a day for
, the contractoroind $3 B:day for his hands,
while others, as competent and responsible,
have state_tithey l could and would have nu
: dertakenit for less: - This is a verY different
policy 'from that pursued at the Pair House
where a bridge across 'the. Coneatoga,'24o.
feet ,long, 13, feet wide, and-.-bigh, was
' halltat a cost of $2,487.50, of which ,$1,370,,
- were' eX"pended for sfonti'aiid masonry.' It
is 0.- titodel 3 _,as to- cost and .. e.otistruCtion;
strength and durability, in contrast with
some of,thnbridges built at County ex
, pense ;,but it was done under the inspection
,oftlie Directors and their officers, who ad
vertised for proposals; 'and consulted' the'
- interests o 1 the tax -payers by 'contracting
with the, lowest,and -best bidders. ._lt is,
therefore, especially recommended that in
future for elf repnirink aWNi7elilis'bitilding
of bridges and Other important works, pro.'
peseta he invited; and contracts -made ac-:
cording to the suggestions In the Auditors'
port of last year. ,
They deem it also important, that when
prop)sidaTorwOrk on - speeitications.are
those ,kmeitleatlon4 should be ,r&
corded, in a book, especially appropriated
for that purpose, before ,the bids shall be
opened or the, ContrOce" made, and this
should be•PrOvided for•'by the Aet or As
sembly.
The east of the improvidence in repairing
and building, ac., might readily be aseer
attairzed and reduced to figures,but it would
be of no avail if the law attaches no re
sponsibility to an Agent or officer of the
Couhty honesty exercising discretionary
powers in making contracts, and although
they May he convinced of an extravagant
expenditures of the pubic funds, the Audi
tors have no power to charge the Commis
sioners, and can only refer to it suggesting
the necessity of reform by legislative ensct
men t. Ibis of late occurrence,that-an effort
was made to make them personally liable
for an over-allowance in the erection of the
Binkley Bridge; but the'COurt Oisinissed
the rulec - wlien the Cemmissibiters in their
happy control of the County_funds, gener
ously rewarded their three counsel with
$lOO each, and those -familiar with that. in-
Itellectnal net-work the law have declared
that suehwas their rightto'do.:
The Aditors from their examination into
the affairs of the County as presented to
them, are fully of the belief, that there is
more time spent by the - Commissioners in
their office, than is absolutely necessary.
The minutes will show,- that from..two, to
three or four days a week aro charged by
each Commissioner, when often the busi
ness transacted was limited to the granting
of ono, two or three orders, and occasional
ly when a full Board had assembled the
Clerk has made the significant entry, "there
being no business, adjourned , The most
important time for office duties may be the
first week of a regular term of Court, or
while they are holding Appeals, but this
frequent visiting the office'and returning
hove twice or three times a week, is cer
tainly not necessary. One or two days at
tendance in a week - would for the most
part be ample. If they would publicly an
nounce, and make it generally known, that
they will attend their office, on the Mon
day and Tuesday of each week, and no
other, as was the custom iu former times
the people would regulate themselves ac
cordingly. The pay and mileage of the
present Board for a :single daYili . sl.s.4o and
does not well boar repeating, unless the
public business actually requires it. The
office is not a post'to be used Merely for
daily pay and mileage, and a pleasant ride
to and from "Lancaster at a cost of $3 a day
and ten cents a mile.
The Auditors believe, that the geveral ac
counts which they are required to settle
and adjust, should be prepared
, trnd made
up to the [nst of December, inclusive of
each year, and submitted to the Commis
sioners and other Boards for examination ;
then to be filed in the Prothonotaiy's Office,
advertised as open for inspection to all tax
payers fbr thirty days, after which to be re
ferred to the Auditors for final settlement ;
that all interested may have an opportunity
of examining and fillingexceptions thereto
if necessary, as heirs and creditors may do
to an Administration account. At present
no one sees or knows anything about either
account until they are finally acted oa by
the Auditors and published, when it is too
late for exception or any kind.
In our report of last year, we chargedt he
then County Commissioners with :32.25,
which they had illegially Lipp/ opriatekto
two Fire Companies in C u tie hie,' d ono
in Marietta. The report was confirmed by
tho Courtand appealed from. Nothing fur
ther has been done, and as we do not know
who besides the Commissionei4 have the
power to prosecute the claim, we respect
fully refer it to the attention ache Court.
The Commissioners claim under the act
of ISG-1 that they are entitled to mileage, if
at the close of each day they go to their re
spective homes and return again the next
day to the Commissioner's office in the per •
formance of their official duties.
The Auditors are of opinion, that the law
contemplates and embraces only one charge
of mileage where the public duties require
the attendance of the Commissioners for
consecutive drys ; and under this view, to
have this question legally and finally de
termined, in justice to the Commissoners
on one side and the County on the other,
and for the guidance of future Boards of
Andltors,:they charged as overpaid to
Sainuel Slokorn. one hundred and fifteen
doljars 4 and,,six,cen4.
- John Strohm, ninety-six dollars.
C. Kready,..sixty-one dollar:4
In the account of C. If. Nissly, the
charge is for constructive mileage or mile
'age not actually traveled ; the Commis
sioner remaining in the city of Lancaster,
during the meeting of the Board, under an
alleged custom' claims that he is entitled
to this mileage Its if actually traveled. This
tho Auditors think inadmissible and charg
ed him with one hundred and seventy-three
dollars overpaid. In witness whereof we
hereunto set our hands.this 21st day of Jan
vary 1870.

What is the rational mode of procedure in
eases of. general debility and nervous prostra

stimulation is required. To resort to violent
- purgation in such a case is as absurd as It would
be to bleed a starving man. Yetit is done every
day. Yes, this stupid and unpnilosophical prac
tice is continued in the teeth of the great fact
that physical weakness, with all the nervous
distarbanees that accompany it, is more certain
ly and rapidly relieved by TioSTL-rrnit's STOM
ACII BITTERS than by any other medicine at
present known. it is true that general debility
is often attended with torpidity Or irregularity
of the bowels, and that this symy tom must not
be overlooked. But while the discharge of the
waste matter of the system is expedited or reg
ulated, its vigor must be recruited. The Bitters
do both. They combine aperient and anti-bil
aloes properties, with extraordinary tohie'pow
cr. illven while removing obstructions from the
bowels, they tone and invigorate those organs.
