_ Persistent exposure of the mal-administra. -
tion of affairs by the Copperhead officials: of
this. Otittnii,-.Causes the organ hereto wince
under the truth. In its last itattempts a re,
ply to our recent criticism on County affairs,
'tint.it is so lame that it must have elicited a
snide from each intelligent.reader. It does
not meet and refute suecessrully, a -single
statement in our article of the lith of Feb
,
ruary, .while its defence of the extravagant
manner in which affairs are managed in this
county, is weak and unconvincing.
We did not intend to • notice the 'reply of
• the` Copnerhead organ, abounding as it does
in personal abuse Mad amplified falsification,
to subserve petty partizan
_ends, but two or
three points seem to require notice. 1_ ,
In, connection with the public printing of
the-'County,the Copperhead organ with
characteristic recklessness of statement, says
that - we have when doing it, been in the
habit of charging exorbitant pricei. - Our
reply to this is, simply,, that we never charged
for publishing the Comity Statement, more
than one-half of what•. the- advertisement
amounted to at our regular.. rates.' We do
not know, - what the organs of the party in
. power receive now for publishing Coenty
advertisements, but we know that in previous
• . years our charges were never so high astheir
charges, and that the Democratic Commission-,
era. always published the County. Statement
'in the MINERS' Jonassi.., and came to us for
• our charge to reguiate the habithally exor
• bitant charge for that kind of work by their
organs. When the Union party was in pow
er in this. County, we never charged more
than fifty Oilers for publishing the State-,
meat, although at the rates we charged the
- general. blisiness public, and which were
warranted by our large circulation --equal to
'that of any three other English papera pub
" lisped in this County—it would have &mount
, ed to over one hundred dollars.. Surely, this
does not look,like over-charging, - when we
have done printing for the County one hun
dred per cent: belovi our advertised rates. •
The Copperhead organ intimates that we
ere opposed to keeping the paupers in the•
Peer llouse,comfortably: Not at all. Just 1
the reverse. We want to see the unfortu- 1
nates well but not.extravagantly cared for.
Ie former years our columns were opened, to
r their complaints of ill usage; and we believ e
. 1 that the peblielty then given to this matter
through this journal, led to reform. previ
ous to that, investigating committees to visit
. the Poor House, Auld to, be appointed. It is
a fact that when:the House was carefully and
economically managed, the paupers. there
were Well treated, in fact, better than when
carelessness and 'extravagance in expendi
ture, marked Its administration. •,
The organ
- eonsiders $2 50 per week, as a low figure for
the maintenance of a- pauper. When we
consider that all live in onehoese and when
-women audchildren must be included in the
•-aggregate number, .it seems to us too high a
figure, even at the edvanced esst, of articles
that enter :intothe consumption of the
house. -We believe firmly, : that by'careful,
economical Management, the expense per
pauper, could be reduced below that figure,
and yet each individual be well treated and,
satisfied: We contend that What has been
done once, can be done agala. ,
The writer hi the Copperhead organ says
In defence of the increase in the salaries of
' the Commissioners of this County, that the
Republican Legislature last Year, increased
the, salaries. of Commissioners inall the coml
. ties of the State, This is about as near truth
as that peper generally gets - in its political
statements. It -is well known that where
certain counties, applied for increase of pay
• for Commissioners, and, there was no.opposi
- tion to the application, it was granted. There
are yet many counties thatmade no applica
tion, of this hind, the pay of the CO:litniS
sioner§ remaining the same as before the war.
' In regard to the charge, made in other
countie&by the dommisSioners, we find that
. it= is $3 a day. In thiA County the Cornmier
sionere charge,s3 75.. - In Lancaster which
is a larger county than Schuylkill, the charge
of the Commissioners for the year just passed.
was for 96 days:at $3 a day, while the Corn
. missioners of Schuylkill charged for 287 days
at 3 75 per day) While Lancaster pays $2BB
. ' We pay $1077! Why this should be, even
the Copperhead' organ wil;be purzled to give
- a good reason.
In the matter of the secret sale of part Of
the public land to the Poor - House Senator,
Randall, the C,opperhead organ does not deny
the sale nor attempt.to excuse the unprece
. dented manner in which public property was
thus .sol 1, but says that a- Committee ap
pointed to inveetigate the matter, ``reported
~ that the land had been sold for its fell value "
We do not impugn the. correctness of the
Committee's report. At the time of the
• Committee's investigation, the land might
have been in its opinion, sold for its value at,
that period, but we assert that at the time of
the sale it sold tor $lOO an acre, less than it
Would .at a competitive, public sale: Even
this Committee which horn its political corn
plexiou, felt .a disposition to. withewash the
proceeding, was,compelled to animadvert the
. .transaction; as unprecedented and wrong.
In regard to - the item in the last County
Statement, 'lncidental Expenses, inculu
ding Appeals, $1,218 6-1," wonder is express
- ed by many tax payers, why' "Appeals" is
placed =-with "lecidental Expenses," when
heretofore,, these items - were published sepa
rately: - It is shrewdly suspected by not a few
persons; that "extras"
~not desirable.for bur- 1
. dened tax-payers ttlsee, are covered by "Ap
peals." If there is error in this belief, the
Commissioners can readily . dissipate it by fur
nishing the items of `.'lncidental Expensei; in
eluding Appeals," to us, and for the income.
lion of the public we promise to publish it
without charge:. Will the Commissioners
furnish the items? We trust they will.
The Coppethead•orgsn has nothing to say
about the large amount of uncollected taxes
. , outstanding; nothing about .the` the
the.
yearly salary of the Treaserer of the C91111 71 '
ty. Legislation could and should have atop
,
p the latter business. We called upon, the ,
Co ssioners who should be custodians of
el sli
the interests of the Coenty, more `than a
year since, to-have an Act passed to give the
Treasurer a salary instead of a per Tentage
• for receiving and disbursing money for the
bounty business: They paid 1:1Q attention to
the request=the interest of our tax-payers
being apparently, of secondary importance .
to that of taiing their 'own salarhs2, raised.
Among the extreordinary demands which
' . the County - had to , meet last year, says tbe
Copperhead organ. was the Ibiloicing t "Old 1 THE Rebel organ.has •become verysolici

TUR inflOk PARTY.
• Before the last Presidential election, When
the. nominations Were rude, party politica
were entirely discarded, and , all loyal men,
whether Beptiblicans or, ;Democrats,:, who
• upported the Union, arere invited to', .unite
in nominating candidates for' President and
Vice President. In justice to these noble
Democrats:who espoused the Union Cause, it
was resolved to place a.Uniton Democrat on.
the ticket with the lamented Lincoln...—
Andrew Johnson, on• the 2d-cif' March, 1861,
when ,the Southern Rebel Senators were
about retiring from the Senate Chamber; I
made use of the - following strong langlitge
-" Show me.who h.a* been engaged in 'these con

Those Words thrilled, ttie heart of every.

ceived intelligence of his nomination, on. the
10th of June he mitdd a speech in Nashville,
- . . ,
in thecourse of which. he: made .use of the
following decided tannage on reconstruction:
