Returned Home. The Hon. J.B.Pack
cr returned to his home on Monday last.
He looks remarkably well considering the
laborious position ho occupied during the
last two months of the Bitting of Congress.
There are but few members of Congress
who served their constituents more satis
factorily than Mr. Packer. His time and
labor were constantly devoted to the in
terests of his district and those of the whole
country, for whom he latwred, frequently
whole uights in perfecting bills for passage
for the beneGt of the mechanical and labor
ing classes of the country.
The finance or currency bill which pass
ed both Houses of Congress, by more than
a two-thirds vote, and sjgned by the Presi
dent fixes the maximum of greenback cir
culation at 182,000,000, and to provide for
its gradual reduction to $300,000,000. The
reserve on national bank circulation is abol
ished, but a reserve on deposits is required,
and live per cent, of this amount is to be
kept in the Treasury for purposes of re
demption. The present law in regard to the
limit of national bank circulation is not
changed, but the bill provides for the with
d rawal of $.m,000,XK) of such currency from
the States which now have au excess, and
its redistribution to other States that have
less than their quota.
COTirLlMEXTAKY. The Danville Intel
i:jcHctr of last week, pajs the following
compliment to Judge ItJckefeller, President
Judge of this count :
"Judge IlockefcHer held court here one
day last week. He gave us a friendly call
ere he left. We, along with our citizens
generally, regret to lose the services of the
Judge. For the limited time he presided
over our courts, he won the respect and
esteem of all for his honesty, impartiality
and evident desire and determination to do
his duty in every case that came before
him.
Since such sheets as the New York
Trihnne have lost their prestige and turned
over to the Democracy, we notice several
other papers which have always been guided
by the Tr&uuc, professing to be Republi
can, following up the course of their leader
with sneeriug and disrespectful remarks
applied to the President.
Cooling Down. After the Auditor's
Report was published last Spring, several
communications appeared in the-Xorthum-berland
County Democrat, written by C.
Hotten6tiic, Esq., which reflected on the
character of our late County Treasurer and
the County Auditors. These communica
tions were undoubtedly with a view to create
imlitical capital, as they were readily en
dorsed by the editor of that paper, who is
always ready to entertain any scheme to
get the "King" into power, but who out
bide of his office acknowledged that he knew
the auditor's report was correct A libel
suit was instituted against the editor and
Mr. Hottenstiue, when they tried to creep
out by modifyiug the tone of their articles,
nwA liMfi . i ...... Vvwtt.
ing that it would be done, urged a re-audit
of the county accounts, and insinuated that
the auditors were incompetent. Of course
this was not saying much for the Democra
tic Auditor Mr. Eisely, who is oue of the
board and who is known to be one of the
moet correct accountants in the county.
On Monday last the auditors met, and
again looked over the accounts to be cer
tain that they did not make ony error.
Their report apjears in another column
vr their signatures.
It must be very humiliating to the editor
of llw Dctuorrat and his man "Friday" Mr.
Hottcnstine, w hen it is shown to the pubjic
that their game to decei ire the people has
been so completely blocked, and the lie is
forced down their own throat. Any oue
who knew the gentlemen composing the
Iward of auditors, knew that they were
honorable men, who would never attempt
to palm a report upon the people that was
uot correct. There would not have been
any object lor them to do so, Itence the
Imse attack made upon them is explicitly
shown as malicious, and the lie turned
upon the beads of its authors. The report
and its explanations by the auditors are
most satisfactory as will be seen by refer
ring to them. The late County Trea
surer is so completely vindicated from the
malicious charges, by both the Republican
and Democratic auditors, that the editor of
the Dtnxtrrat and bis man "Friday" will be
very apt to "cool down."

While the air is n'souuding with the
noiRy ,i,.m(nstrntiins of political maleon-
tenls lornunjj liH'msm'CH into new party
organizations uiule r the shallow jirc-lensc
of progress ami reform, it is well for every
honest citizen ami friend of goodgovenmcnt
to (urnlcr well the stern and important
duties of the hour. A considerable time
will elapse before the annual contents be
tween the two great political parties will
be decided at the polls, and the machinery
of government arranged and set in opera
tion foi another year. Rut much, as re
gards the final issue, whatever it may be,
will depeud upon the thoroughness of the
preliminary work necessary to be done in
the meantime.
The source aud spriug of all political
power must reside with the people them
selves. They arc the constitutional electors
of the men who are to represent them in
the high places of the laud. They will
shape the policie aud decide upon the
materials which are to form aud direct the
entire government machinery. The quality
of the machinery aud its adaptation to
work out the ends of good government, will
be precisely what the people make it. Iu
relation to this, every individual citizen
has a sacred duty to perform a duty which
he owes to himself aud to the couutry of
which he is a component part ; a duty for
the faithful discharge of which he is solely
responsible, and for the neglect of which he
is entirely without excuse. Every intelli
gent elector is capable of forming some
kind of independent judgment upon the
living issues of the day. His judgment will
not only be formed, but declared, aud that
declaration will ut once commit him to a
specific hue of action, to which, as an hou
est man, he is bound to adhere, so long as
his professed sentiments continue un
changed. If it be said that this implies
partisanship, then let it be so. Adherence
to principle must mean adherence to party
nothing mote or less. It cannot be other
wise. If a party embodies right principles,
every honest man who holds those princi
ples is bound to side with that party ; he
cauuot escape from it without violating all
sense of moral obligation and forfeiting the
last shadow of a claim to confidence and
respect, lie is attracted toward it by the
inevitable force of moral afliuity, as natur
ally as water seeks its level, or like affili
ates with like.
Men holding the same political creed may
difler as to some of its minor details, but
where a wise discretion prevails in the
counsels of the body, circumstantial diver
sity will not necessarily weaken the bond
ofesseulial identity. Thj opinions of mcu
may widely diverge, and policies may as
sume an endless variety of forms as to the
real and practicable adaptation to the ever
varyiug exigencies of a progressive a go, but
the grand primary and vital principles
underlying every system of good govern
ment are as immutable as they are immor
tal The Republican party was reared on the
broad principle of freedom against slavery.
Embodying the most liberal and enlighten
ed views of sound constitutional govern
ment, it was openly committed, at the out
set, to a line of policy from which it has
never swerved. The grand purpose with
which it started whs adhered to with un
swerving steadfastness until it reached at
length its legitimate lesulls. The final
contest was fierce and bloody, but its vic
tory, fraught with blessings to millions in
the nation, is of record in the hearts of our
people and the annals of our time.
We do not deny that its counsels have
sometimes been misdirected and abuses
have obtained in its administration through
the influence of tneu who have prostituted
plishment of unworthy ends, but the his
tory of the last six mouths affords unmis
takable proof that the Republican party
has no disjiofeition to shield evil doers with
in iu owu ranks from the punishment their
misdeeds incur, and that by searching in
vestigation, aud. exposure of wrongs
amongst its own members, it has vigor and
moral courage enough to work out the
needed, purification and reform.
When the Republican ship has been
lashed by the waves of corruption or en
dangered by the tempest occasioned by
the malfeasance of political adventurers
"for whose cause all this evil has been
brought upon her," no sooner have the
Jonah" been detected by the "lot" of
impartial investigation, than they have
been thrown overboard. Nothing like
this has ever been douo or attempted by
the Democratic party when they have been
in power. The most scandalous abuses
Lave been winked at. Unblushing frauds
have been defended, aud their guilty per
petrators allowed to go unwhipped of jus
tice. When an outraged people have been
sharply snubbed, or met with the insolent
response : "What are you going to do
about it ?" When tnen within their own
ranks have seen the danger from "break
ers altcad," and have courage enough to
advise reform by lightening the ship by
casting overboard a portion of (er contra
band freight, they have gagged them with
a bribe, or if they persisted, uncermonious
ly cast them into the midst of the sea. The
contrast, as will be seen, is a strikiug one,
and will furnish matter for profitable re
flection for those who are croaking about
the disintegration and declining hopes of
the party in power. llffHo Ksprtx.

Very few persons know that the father of
immeiiHC anthracite iron trade is still living.
David Thomas, the invautor of the blast
furnace, is the oldest citizen of CaLisauriua,
on the Ixdiigh river. Reforc his time no oue
thought of smelting iron anywhere but in
the lrge cities. Mr. Thomas began ex
perimenting, Jjut without success, until he
found the merits oi the hot blast. This
was iu Wales, in Jti.'J7, and from his little
furnace thus erected has sprung the great
aulhracite iron trade of Pennsylvania ; fwrin
1839 Mr. Thomas came to M audi Chunk to
erect furnaces for the Lehigh Coul Naviga
tiou Company. He theu settled there, and
built furnaces, and engaged iu trade, aud
now at eighty is one of the richest men in
the wq regions. He is said to be as active
as a muu of Lwuiity, aud to think nolhiug
of visiting Philadelphia. JjaJUmoie, Pitts

the last three years, with entire satisfaction.
The (ieneral is entitled to a second tet m,and
having so satisfactorily served the jDioplu
without even a complaint from the opposi
tion ranks, he will be the most available
caudidate that the Republican Suite Con
vention can nominate. The Philadelphia
Korth Ahu riruv. speaking of the (ienrrars
renomination says :
"Our attention has been called to the fact
that uuder the new Constitution the posi
of Surveyor General of the State will be
merged at the ensuing fall election in the
office of Secretary of Iuternal Atiairs, milk
ing it necessary to nominate some oue for
that position. Yicwiug the entire field we
can see nothing standing in the way of the
selection of General Robert R. Realh, the
present Surveyor General. General Ueath
is under ordinary party rulings, entitled to
the position, and deserves cordial support
everywhere. His administration of his pre
sent duties has been conducted in a man
ner which has reflected great credit upon
himself, and has giveu satisfaction to all
whose atiairs have brought them iucoutact
with him. An earnest Republican from
the first and a gallant soldier during the
entire reln-Hinn, his political and millitary
record thoroughly second the claims he has
upon the people of the State. We trust
that the Philadelphia delegation will use
every legitimate influence to secure the suc
cess of a gentleman whom we believe to be
entirely worthy of confidence and support."
The new Rankrui'T Act. The fol
lowing are some of the provisions of the
new Ruukrupt Act adopted by both Houses
of Congress, which will probably receive the
approval of the President :
First. No proceedings can be taken iu
involuntary of compulsory bankruptcy ex
cepting by the action of one-fourth iu num
ber of creditors and ouc-third in value of
claims against the debtor.
Second. The provision of the present law
requiring tint the assets of an involuntary
bankrupt shall be equal to fifty percent, of
the indebtedness (proved or provable) is
repealed, without limitation.
Third. In voluntary bankruptcy the
bankrupt may be discharged on the pay
ment of thirty percent, upon his liability,
provided lhat one-fourth of his creditors in
number, and they representing ouc-third
of the amount of proved or provable in
debtnese, agree to his discharge.
Fourth. A composition may be eilccted
without regard to proceedings iu bank
ruptcy, by a vole of a majority in number
of creditors, who shall adopt a resolution
to that ellecl at a meetitig duly called, on
due notice, on such creditors as may be
present or represented by proxy ; said re
solution to he certified to court, to be sign
ed by a certain number (five-eighths) of the
creditors, representing a certain proportion
(three-fourths arc believed to be the pro
portion) of the indebtedness, which, if had,
such composition may be enforced upon
the nonagreeing creditors.
Fifth. The two periods of four months
aud six mouths, prescribed as the limits of
ccrtaiu reclaiming and voiding processes,
are reduced to sixty days and four months
respectively.but this is not to take effect for
two months after the passage of the act.
Sixth. The expense of all officers, agents,
&c, to be reduced to one-half the present
rates ; the old rules to remain in force until
the Supreme Court shall arrange the new
tariff of charges.
Note. Iu estimating the number tf
creditors in certain cases no debt under S-IO
is counted iu the number, though it may be
computed iu value. J

TitADi- The coal trade, like every other
kiud of business, is dull, but it is believed
lhat the Shamokin region has less reason
to complain of the depression than most
any other coal preducing district. Prices
have kept firm aud the collieries have been
able to keep running the greater part of the
time. Reports have bceu in circulation for
some days past that there would be a sus
pension of a mouth on the part of the oper
ators, to take ellecl on July 3d, but no de
finite orders have been issued yet. The
coal trade, after all, when compared with
other brauches of business, is iu a more
healthy state thau mobt of the other great
industries, and as the close of the season
approaches will doubtless improve, as inti
mated by the North American, the irou
trade will at once revive, and with this
great interest, coal w ill come in demand.

IlAKltisnciK!, June 1!. The wife of
Senator Simon Cameron died this morning
after an illness of several weeks. Mrs.
Cameron's death is much mourned here,
as she was deservedly highly esteemed by
all classes of society for her many virtues,
aud had a very large circle of friends
throughout the State. Senator Cameron
has been hero during the entire week.
She leaves two sons, Hon. Donald J. Cam
eron and Simon Cameron, Jr., aud two
daughters, the wives of the Hon. Wayne
McVeagh and Hon. Richard J. Ilaldeman.
The recent death of her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Donald J. Cameron, and her eldest
daughter, Mrs. Ruruside, hastened Mrs.
Cameron's death, it is believed. The citi
zeus of Harrisburg, without any political
or personal distinction, unite iu expres
sions of deep sympathy with the Senator
and his family in their bereavement.
Clark Evans, who murdered Mr. Holbert
iu Illinois, was taken from tho jail in Car
rolltou on Sunday by a mob of disguised
mcu and hanged.

Dear Wihert:
After a full aud free conference on the
Post Office appropriation bill, the commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Packer, Tyucr,
and Marshall, niv:sjnqrs are allowed frte
ci c:tlution Ihrowjh the mails to actual sub-
, ,. , , r , - , ,
pv.bhshed. I append a portion of the law,
, . '
iin iii3cu uoui nouses, aim siueu uy uie
President. Ry it you will notice that the
rate of postage on newspapers is fixed at
two cents per pound, which must in all
cases be prepaid by the publisher, for
! papers sent to subscribers outside of the
county. The Seuatc had fixed the price at
wr tfnt.t per pound, but, in conference,
: the Hon. John R. Packer persisted in lix-
ing the postage at the rate adopted by the
addressed to regular subscribers or news
agents, postage shall be charged at the fol
lowing rates : Ou newspapers and perio
dical publications, issued weekly or more
frcqueutly than once a week tiro ceuts for
each pound or fraction thereof, aud those
issued less frequently than once a week
three cents per pound or a fraction thereof :
Provided, That nothing in this act shall lie
held to change or amend section ninety
ulne of the act entitled "An act to revive,
consolidate, aud amend the statutes relat
ing to the Post Office Department," ap
proved June 8, 1S72.
Sec 0. That on aiid after the first day
of January, 1875, upon the receipt of such
newspapers and periodical publications at
the office of mailing, the' shall be weighed
iu bulk, aud postage paid thereon by a
special adhesive stamp, to be devised and
furnished by the Postmaster-General.which
shall be affixed to such matter, or the sack
containing the same, or upon a memoran
dum of such mailing, or otherwise, as the
Postmaster-General may, from time to
time, provide by regulation.
Sec 7. That newspapers, one copy to
each actual subscriln-r residiug within the
county where the same are printed, in
whole or in part, and published, shall go
free through the mails: but the snnif- shill
t ,JC dclimed at letter-carrier offices or
distributed by carriers unless postage is
paid thereon as by law provided.
Skc 10. That so much of this act as
changes the rates on newspapers and peri
odical publications shall nol take effect un
til the first day of January next.
Free exchange between publishers out
side of the county is prohibited, but that is
of little matter, as the papers are sent and
weighed iu bulk, and the cost being so
trivial the publishers will not feel the ex
pense. Reside the assorting of exchanges
from papers seut to subscribers would be
more trouble than saving, in case they
were allowed to go free.
Yours, fraternally,

THE STRIKER- THE WEATHER AND
THINGS.
New York, , (in 23, 1871.
THE COMMON DODGE NOW.
Should plain Mr. John Smith of Tunk-
haunock, Pa., i walking down Rroadway
to-morrow, Mr. Smith would very likely be
met by a bland gentleman who would ad
vance with extended hand and say, "Why
Jones how are you, and how are all the
folks in Jericho ?"
Mr. Smith would reply, "you are mis
taken my dear sir, my name is not Jones,
nor .do I live in Jericho; I am Mr. Smith
and I live in Tunkhanuock."
"Excuse me," would the bland stranger
reply ; "I was mistaken."
Mr. Smith would walk one more block
and would be accoRted by another bland
stranger who would say, "How are you
Smith, aud how are all the folks in Tuuk
hauuock." And then the bland stranger would go on
aud say thatheiived in Tunkhanuock some
five years ago ; that he went there to go
into business but did not make the rifllc,
and left ; but that he met Smith ouce or
twice and recognized him.
"Will you take something," says the
stranger ; which Smith, being a jolly good
fellow and glad to meet auy man who ever
saw Tunkhannock, does with alacrity.
Two or three drinks are taken and Mr.
Smith being sufficiently primed starts out
w ith his friend. Getting down into Nassau
street tho friend remembers that he has
drawn a prize in a lottery and will step up
and get it cash. Will Mr. Smith step
up 'i yr. Smith does step up, and Mr.
Smith steps iuto a loom with a sign "Jones
t Co., Raukcrs," and Mr. Smith's friend
is greeted by a benevolent old gentleman
in spectacles who faVos his ticket and pays
him $275, less commissions, and congratu
lates him on his good luck. Then the be
novoleut old man says to Mr. Smith's
friend, lhat a new style of lottery has been
devised which is just the same as any other
lottery, only it is played with dice. You
put down $5 and if you throw certain com
binations you take up 500. Mr. Smith's
friend tried it and won 500, which was
paid him very willingly by the benevolent
old gentleman who seemed to stand there to
pay out money. Then Mr. Smith tries it.
lie pays $5 but only wius 25. He tries
again and loses, but as he is left 20 ahead,
he laughs aud goes iu again. This time he
loses, when anew combination is explained
to him, which by venturing $300 can hard
ly fail to make 5000. Mr. Smith's friend
is so certain of it that he proposes to "go"
$250 of it himself, and Mr. Smith is satisfied
and he puts up 250 with him. This time
he loses he has struck that infernal ugly
chance, and as he does not want to play
more the game is closed.
As Mr. Smith's friend disappears the
moment ho strikes the street, Mr. Smith
gradually awakens to the fact that he has
been taken in and done for to the tune of
250, by a most shallow device, an impos
ture so thin that a baby should have seen
through it. He rushes back to demand his
money of the benevolent old gentleman,
but alas, the "office" is closed, and the nice
old party is gone from his gaze like a beau
tiful dream.
Occasionally the aharcrs get sharped.
A New Jerseymau was picked up iu this
way the other day and they allowed him
to win 25. The moment the money was
paid him he politely bid them "Good moru
ing" and started to leave ; his friend placed
himself against the door and insisted that
he should not go till the "house" had a
chance to get even. But he did go. A re
volver pointed at the friend's head was a
persuader that was potent.
FASHION AND 3IONEY
There is one class in New York who
heroically refuse to recognize "hard times,"
namely the fashionable women. No mat
ter what happens, the woman of fashion
must maintain her position so long as she
holds any place at all. When she caunot
do this she goes out altogether ; that is,
wheu she dies, she dies all over. Let oue
of these see a woman in the same circle
with more exquisite laces or more gorgeous
diamonds, and forthwith to Tiflhny's or
Stewart's goes she, and selects the costliest,
remarking, in a majestic way, "Send the
bill to my husband." The bill is sent and
the husband, poor fellow, pays it. It may
ruin him ; he may want the money in his
busiuess to keep it afloat in these cruel
times ; but that matters not. The gor
geous gem of a woman must have a gor
geous setting, and settings must be paid
for.
Rut some of them do make a fight to keep
up appearances without great cost. They
spend 1.000 on a shawl, and starve their
servants aud never pay their wages. They
allow their bakers and butchers to go un
paid, (for these people are seldom sued by
tradesmen), that the money thus saved
may be squandered in the palaces of the
great autocrats of finery who must and will
have their money.
There is a great deal of living beyond
means here, as elsewhere. Some of these
people get credit Stewart docs a very ex
tensive credit business among them, and
this, department is under charge of one of
the most experienced men of the retail
palace. He knows every fashionable wo
man i:i this city, and he knows how much
it is safe to trust each one. There are
some who run a bill, say from 3,000 to
5,000, and there arc others who are allow
ed to go as deep as 10,000, and there are
a few whose accounts may reach 20,000
before a bill is presented. When the ladies
trade heavy bills, the clerk sends the
amount on a slip of paper to the censor,
whose pencil at once marks approbation or
refusal. This class includes those who
have property which can be levied upon,
if the worst comes to the worst, or whose
husbands are in a fair way of business,
which will eventually enable him to pay.
The profits are so large in fine goods, that
the dealer can afford to take some little
risk. Rut if the roofs were taken off the
fine houses iu New York, there would be
some ghastly scenes disclosed.
DOGS.
The dog question is agitating the ciiy
just now. The authorities, with a whole
some fear of hydrophobia before their eyes,
instituted a dog pound in the upper part of
the city, and made every dog running at
large without a muzzle a vagrant, and lia
ble to seizure by anybody. These dogs are
taken to the pound, and all not claimed
within a certain lime, are doomed to death.
The city pays fifty cents for each dog
captured, consequently a new trade has
been inaugurated. Roys steal dogs by the
hundred, and sell them to collectors for
twenty-five cents, who pound them and get
fifty. After they have bceu there two days,
those not claimed are killed. This summer
the authorities have tried the plan of suffo
cating them with gas, instead of the old
process of drowning. It is a pitiful sight
to see two or three hundred dogs of all de
grees, slaughtered so unmercifully. Rut it
has to be done. Were they allowed to live,
the city in five years would bo overrun with
them.
Speaking of hydrophobia, a most curious
occurrence took place in Rrooklyn the other
da'. A well-known dog fancier named
Duller had taken an active part in the dog
question. He was a man who knew dogs,
had bred and trained them all his life, uot j
for money, but from sheer love of them.
He was the author of several works upon
the dog his last one being a pamphlet, the
intention of which was to prove that there
was no such a thing as hydrophobia. Well,
last Monday Mr. Duller vas administering
a dose ot medicine to a Spitz dog, which
bit him in the thumb, but no particular
attention was paid to it. Two days after
Mr. Rutler was taken with horrible con
vulsions and in forty-eight hours he died.
It was a clear casu of hydrophobia at
least so all the doctors said.
THE STRIKERS
are nut striking as much as they were.
The fact is at last becoming apparent to
them that there is but little use of attempt
ing to strike w heu fully one half of the la
boring men of the city are idle and must
have something to do. To talk of increase
of wages or diminution of time with a wife
and child reu hungry, is most exquisite ab
surdity. The striking mechanics arc most
ly back at their work, that is such as the
employers will take back. The ring-leaders
they are leaviug out in the cold for a
while that their ardor for trouble may have
time to subside.
THE WEATHER
in New York is as beautiful as beautiful
can be, and the people aro taking advan
tage of it. The parks in New York and
Rrooklyn aro lovely in themselves and in
their occupants. Despite the hard. UiUOi
you will see as many gorgooa carriages,
as many extravagantly attired women ami
ekvhorate flunkies as ever before.
What a world this is.

the settlement with A. Cadwallader, late Treas

ment of the several orders not mentioned in the
expense account, which were not considered ex
penses of 1873, and were added to the list of
orders paid by the Treasurer, who was entitled
to his commission for the same, amountiug to

Order No. 346, amounting to $1,500 00, was
for the payment of a loan made in 1872 from the
First National Bank of Snnbory, charged to the
Treasurer in the andit of that year.
Orders, Nos. 610 and 1079, amounting to $4,
500 00, were issued as payment of loans from
said Bank, made in 1873, and charged to Treas
urer. Orders, Nos. 594, 693, 694. 695, 698, 699 and
826, amounting to $3,202 83, includes all expen
ses for locating, surveying, advertising and sell
ing the lands belonging to the county, now lying
outside of its limits, and investigating titles in
reference to the same.
Order No. 1,001, amounting to $1,263 67, was
if sued by Commissioners to Treasurer for taxes
for land sold to the county by Treasurer In 1868,
1870 and 1872, for which they did not hold deeds.
This amonnt is charged to "the Treasurer in his
settlement, less the costs.
Orders, Nos. 1,004, 1,085, 1,123 and 1,143,
amounting to 343 75, includes the expenses for
locating, seated and unseated lands, now lying
within the county, and notifying such holders to
redeem before saic.
It will thus be seen that the above amount of
$11,310 25, added to the actual expenses of the
year, including old orders paid, and after de
ducting Treasurer's commission, will exactly
balance the amount of orders issued, namely,
?S4,910 98. We therefore claim that our late
report is, and always was correct, "General
Reader's" and "Tax Payer's" assertions to the
contrary notwithstanding ; and thai we closed
the same just as wc intended it should be, know
ing that the Receipts and Expenditures and the
Treasurer's settlement arc two separate and dis
tinct aecennts. We would also state that Mr.
Ilottcnstein was in error when he stated that
the Treasurer had the amount of outstanding
taxes, iKc, iu his pocket, as we know the Treas
urer is always charged with overpaid taxes as
well as with any other cash received.
We would hereafter ndvise "General Reader,"
alias Charles Ilottcnstein, before he proceeds to
assail the honesty or the County Treasurer, and
cast contempt and ridicule upon the board of
County Auditors, to try and master the difference
between a settlement with the County Treasurer,
and the real and actual expenses of the county
for any one year.
We have been most maliciously assailed by
Mr. Hottcnstciu, his communications deserved
only silent contempt, and ould have been treat
ed by us as such had we not thought that other
tax payers of the county might be led astrav by
his misrepresentations and miseoneeptions. ' We
shall take no further notice of his insolent at
tacks upon ne but leave bitn alone in his
glory.
