The law giving the proceeds resulting from fines atid'ibrftitid recognizences to the LertlAssoCiation havingbeen repeal-, ed in accoolkie to the willy the people of this county; it becomes our duty as a jeuranlist to wateh with jealous care their sights in -the matter and see that their official servintii faithfully discharge their duty - i that :theitaterests of the so called "commonwealth" are as closely looked after, and theirclaima se ar / sliduonsly pros ecuted, as were thestiof therLegal Associa lean. Much "wind" was used by a few parties interested, in a puerile attempt to discourage tie in our onslaught upon their . nnjustlaw, before its repeal, in claiming that very little or nothing bad been er would bo vollected in the interest of the Cotintyelint that unless- thii fend was to lie played -into the hands of the attorneys, the court and the officers in charge would be remiss in their duty, and that notwith standing we, had stirred-up the laboring Leis hi the' hive who bear the burden of taxation, to, make as unwelcome hum around their ear's', it would be frind that they Mauld not accnmulate much honey in the county hive. Undoubtedly some of these "philanthropic" gendemen of the Legal - fraternity, who have suffered such martyrdom (?) in the interest of the com monwealth by 'converting the money be longing to the county Treasury to their , private benefitmould be glad to have their "viten ime"'come to pass, and if they do not give it their personal aid they may be willing to see it pi by default. We have no remedy for the past, but the future i s before us and we shall attempt to discharge our duty and leave the balance to the people and if there is -a "dill Ring Enter prise": in Susquehanna County Courts,and among their dependent official servants, they have a never failing panacea which they:ein apply by placing the "little joker" in the ballot box, and when the question comes squarely before the people, as to whether they, or Binge, shaft be boss, late occurrences are somewhat of a dem castration in their favor. That the peo ple of this county may know their rights in this case, and be prepared to demand the maintenance of them by their official seriants,we will give an abstract of the law provided : It is the duty of the clerk of the court to certify on oath into the county Com missioner's office/all fines and forfeited recognizance/I within ten days after the expiration of the term of court at which they uere imposed, and that it is a foil list of that term. Said list shall give the number and term of each cam, the names of the recognizers, and the place of resi. deuce, and occupation , when known, and the date of the forfeiture, and a neglect to comply with this duty is a misdemeanor in office. Alio, it is the duty of the Sheriff; clerks of Courts, Justices of the Peace, and all other officers who receive any fines for the use of the county, to pay the same into the County Treasury without un necessary delay and neglect in them, so to do, is *misdemeanor. Thew County Commissioners become the responsiblMagents for the county, to see that the terms of the law are complied and must prosecute all such claims, either themselves or by their proper attor ney, who shall receive a reasonable com pensation, and all - money so received or collected by them must be , pa.ssed _ upon by the board of Auditors the same as any other part ,tif their accounts. The law. thus plainly points out the way, and it is the same law for collection that governed the Legal Association, precisely, except that the . money shall go into the treasury instead - of into the library room and the pockets of: e,attorneys,the last beint i the only thing that is repealed. We have no more to say at present, bat "we shall see whet we shall see." • y. Now For Victory: Mr. Rartranft is nominated for Gov error by the Radical State Contention, he "receiving BY votes to fir.
