JSimburn American M. B. MASSER,, I. WILVERT. Editor. 8UNBURY, FEBRUARY 2'J, 1S73. Mr. GRcrxnY'a Will. It Is well known that Mr, Greeley left two will, if the pcccotl one made, a few day before hi death, nitty be called a will. The first will won macloin 1871, and after providing for bis brother and eister, and bequeathing ?10,00'J to tho "Children's Aid Society." left his estate, with the exception of the above lnfrncics, to bis two d iughtnrs. Tho second will, which wns. under the circum stnncrs. to gay the least of it, not only on iilesal but a discreditable transaction, pnvo his entire estate to his oldest daughter, Ida, out of which she was to provide for, and educate her sister Gabriellc. a girl of 15, and some five or six years younger than her self. As tho conduct of the executors of the first w.ill were severely censured, it is but just that the facts should be known which were stated by Mr. Williams, their counsel beforo tho surrogate, when the "Will of 1872 was withdrawn. The idea of substituting ati illegal Will for a true one, iu order to couceal the fact that. Mr. Ciree ly died from the effects of acute mania, is Dot ouly foolish, but danp-rous and unjus tifiable. The fact that Mr. Greeley was insane, weeks before bis death, is no discre dit to his character or memory, and the at tempt to conceal a fact so well known, was simply absurd. The remarks of Mr. Wil liams will bo found ou out first page. The AuDiTon's KcrortT.

The scalp account a.nounts to $1,060 C5. There is scarcely any one that doubts tho necessity of rc pealing tho act granting bounties or pre miums on scalps, as it lias become an im position upon the tax-payers. Thcio are items that will no doubt strike many as be ing exorbitantly high. The clerk's pay is very high, but the people were made to be lieve that that officer's salury was only 000 per annum. Thw amount we consider too email for a competent clerk, und bhould be increased. But in the above report we no tice that SI ,2'Jti 95 has lxcu paid to clerks beside S940 50 for transcribing old Dock ets, and for indexing $20"), making in all j 82,1 10 45 during labt year. There are oth. ; cr items to which wo shall refer when the Auditor's Report is published. Tho report exhibit an improvement which has been brought about through the new board of Commissioners organized in November last, by pursuing a persistent course in cellccting outstanding monies, court Cues, and jury finis, which were not heard of for years past, aud by having the old duplicates settled up. The excess of expenditures above receipts in 1871 was 811,810 3d, and during 1372, 5-310 01, being 81,75a 40 ha than 1671, which is a decided improvement. Tho out standing taxes for 1871, and previous years, were 41, bid 07, all of which has been collected within a few months excepting . S7.53-3 10, tho larger portion of which is uneollcctablo. The outstanding taxes for lb i .2 will also bo a considerable amount, but are already put iu such a ehapo that nearly all b paid into the treasury during the present year, and the present board of Commissioners are determined to bring about a different state of affairs thau has existed iu former years. We can safely ex pect that at the close of 1873, our county expenses will be reduced, and much of her indebtedness wiped out. The County Treasurer's accounts havo been kept iu a business like manner, und show a balanced accouut with the State, which has not been exhibited under any former Treasurer for juany yeurs. Consid ering that the Treasury was bankrupt when the present Treasurer took charge of it, not ouo cent having been turned over to him, ha managed to pay off every order that was presented, and paid off the indebt edness to tha Stato besides, and yet has a Glance iu band of ?3,177 62 shows that he - conducted the affairs of that officii in doer that entitles him to tha thanks tax pattr. lli'g'"'?!.!'!.1!-.1 , iL'J JL11 The "Guard" andthe Town Clock. As tlic editor of the Gfitortt bad already ncknoledeJJtUeJalsity of bis statements j ltTTOpnra trf tho payment of the Court House clock by tho county, on which he based his unwarranted attack on the citi zens of Sunbury, wo cannot see If wo should even condescend to answer his silly questions, that it would help him out of his dilemma. Had be asked tho Chief Ilnr gees, ou whoso authority ho corrected his unfounded charges, bo would havo ex plained the matter of the bell as well as tho clock. In regard to tho question whether "Sunbury Is so much better than Milton or Shamokiii, that she should have the county pay for a Court House, when otic ol theso towns offered $20,000 if it would ho built there," wo have only to sav that wo consider the question not only stupid but malignant, and intended to excite the envy and prejudices of the ignorant against this place. No man who has an ounce of brains can fail to sec that Sunbury is, prac tically, the most central point in the comi ty, and can be more readily approached from all parts of the county than any other place. Hut according to the logic of the editor of the Guurd, the convenience and comfort of the people has nothing to do with tho matter, that it is simply a question ot dollars and cents, and Mini if a few wealthy nabobs desired to have the Court House at a point to suit themselves, they might locate the tame on the Muney Hills or any other remote corner of the county, without regard to the wishes of the people, provided they contributed a few thousand dollars more than any one cite. We did not object to his making com ments on "public affairs1' because be was a "comparative stranger," but being such ho had no rtghl to slander our eitbeus by charging them, whether from ignorance or design, with conduct which he character izes as "shameful.11 The fact that he is, as lie asserts, "a native born citizen of the United States,11 and "of Sunbury," does not authorize hiiu to make a "unlive boru" dunce of himself. We can assure our neighbor that ho will be perfectly safe iu "opening his mouth on any subject this side of iTueifctton" or any other side, provided ho utters tho truth, or when he writes he dees not coufound words becomo sacred with fiction.'1 The Credit Mobilikh Scaxdal. The labors of the committee iu Congress for the purpose of investigating thu distri bution offctock anions members are closed. Oakes Ames, of Massachusetts, and Jas. Brooks, of New York, were found guilty of bribery, and their expulsion is recom mended. The other members implicated have suffered more in rtpulatiou by th.'ir equivocation and denial of the facts than by anything else. Had these men been as cautionary as our own member, Hon. .1. B. Packer, in keeping clear of all transac tions that might cast even a shadow of suspicion on his conduct, they would have avoided a most grievous scandal and much BuU'criu'' in roit'.d us well us iu character.
