TliEtlisponiliiiz n'u s f "lianl tinu-s"
which we have heard for long dreary months
are about passing away, aud Hie people of
the country now show a difijwsiuon lo ac
cept the situation. Those cries were sad
enough, aud represented maiiy sorrows,
but as we look back upon the panic through
clearer aud a calmer atmosphere, we arc able
to discover that the fault was our own
the result of speculation, adventure, wild
enterprize aud other recklessness both
in ourXatioual, tatc, busine ss ami domes
tic relaiious. Iu real estate and stocks, for
instauce. iustead of honestly purchasiug
what we wanted, aud payiug lor it as a
property, the custom was to deal with them
as with everything else as a speculation
to buv aud sell ou "margins ;" to pay
practically as much for worthless stocks
and fancy lots of ground as for the best
slia res and the most desirable lots in tho
market- False values were thus oi igiuatid
and sustained, not only iu the larger opor
ali(us of capitalists, but in the everyday
trading aud purchasing of merchants of
moderate means, mechanics aud other
conducting business enterprises, aud by
cv. n the operatives who live upon their
scanty earnings. The pauic was the end
of this ami of the bystciu of falsehood upon
which it is based.
We are happy to note that the signs of
jztnuiiie prosperity are auspicious. From
all rts we have good tidings of abundant
crops. Western dealers and mcrciiauis
have unusually short stocks on baud, and
Kastern manufacturers are able to dispose
of their goods. The export trade for the
balance of the year is likely to be fully up
t the preeut standard, and presently, it
is hoped, there will lie employment aud
work for all. People, even if they would,
can no longer run in debt,merchants,;rocers
and business men generally in our own lo
cality where the credit system has so long
and so ruiuously pevailed, refuse louger
to "book" making only cash sales, and
compelling rigid economy where before
there was thoughtless and reckless expen
diture. These lessen s are being hard and
dearly learned, but we cannot fail to profit
by them.
Tiik News fkom Spain. Disjwitches
received on Monday by the government,
give the intelligence that the Carlists will
soon be driven from the Spanish territory.
An unhappy event, however, has just oc
curred. Marshal Concha, comander-in-chief
of the Spanish army, in an attack
upon the Carlists tutreuchmeut at Muro,
ou Sunday last, was unfortunately killed.
As soon as this was known lo the troops
they withdrew without loss. General Za
bala, the President ot Council and Minister
of War. at once assumed the command.
Marshal Concha was eighty years f age,
and was a soldier all bis life.
Subsequent dispatches show that the He
publican army before Muro, were roughly
haudled. aud were obliged to fall back eight
miles. Their loss is set down at 1300. It
is now said that the fidelity of Concha to
the Hepublic was much doubted at Madrid.

There was a reduction of the public debt
to the extent of S2,1S0,P.;.94 during June.
Since June 30,1 8"3,there lias been a decrease
of sf 4,750,472.41, notwithstanding that dur
ing several mouths of the year there were
considerable additions to the debt. The
revenues, both from internal taxes and cus
toms duties, were greater last month than
in tlie corresponding month of 187:5, which j
shows not ouly a gratifying condition of
the National Treasury, but also that busi
ness must already have experienced au en
couraging revival. Many of the roost im
portant brauches of industry arc still suf
fcriug, but other trades must be doiug un
usually well, else the revenue returns would
not be so favorable, aud much as our cur
rency system yet needs to render it ade
quate to the fluctuating demands of busi
ness, there is every reason to anticipate a
season of exceptional activity this coming
fall.
The Iemocratic leaders have been
greatly disappointed iu getting material to

were in gt)od hopes of the results of tho late
conventions. They expected somethin;;

but fiudiug nothinsof the sort, they now cla
mor against Republican platforms. Their
hopes in '-ougres were also damaged. There
is little doubt Dial the Democratic leaders
were prciaring to make a great hue and
cry in the ensuing elections if the Republi
can majority iu Congress had adjourned
without passing any fiaauciul measure, af
ter being iu sessiou so long. The solution
of the matter by the passage of a measure
which is satisfactory to all scctious of the
rouutry, takes the wind completely out of
their sail., and for the time being they are
thoroughly nonplussed.

The lJrsiXKss Outlook. There is
reason to believe that the hard-times of the
past six or eight months are pretty nearly
owr. We have watched the tone of our
exchanges since the adjournment of Con
gress and the approval by. the President
of the compromise financial bill, for some
indication of an improvement in business
and of a more promioing outlook. We may
le too hopeful, but. we certainly think we
decern gleams of sunshine through the
clouds which have so long overcast the
business sky. The Philadelphia Mijer,
always reliable authority in financial mat
ters, says : "On the whole the business
outlook seems to favor an early and decided
improvement. There may be some few
further failures, but these only briug the
bottom which must be first touched, the
nearer, and so insures the earlier arrival.
While some railway corporations have de
faulted, others have got upon a good basis
aud are doing well. Farmers at the West
are doing letter this year thau last, and
every wherc rooney Is pleutiful almost be-
voud precedent. California has secured
her wheat crop, with probably S-2"j,000,UK).
Oregon has also a large surplus for ex
pert.
The 1st of July is 6eiui-annual dividend
day, when millions of dollars will be paid
in interest. Where all this money is to
find safe and profitable investments is a
question uot easy to decide. With so much
capital scattered all over the country, and
interest so low on all money put out on
call, with the grain crops full of roinisc,
and the cotton crop to be, in all probabili
ty, far more than wc anticipated six weeks
since, there is every hope for a better state
of business in the coining autumn. That
the business outlook is more encouraging
than for auauy months is not disputed by
auylxnly except chronic croakers aud such
professional speculators as have money
staked and "stand to win" on a continu
ance of the depression of the past few
mouths, aud on a further decline in the
prices of securities and commodities.
The Miners' Journal, authority in the
coal and miuing regions, chimes in its ap
proval of this view, and adds, "While busi
ness, unquestionably, is dull, still the fu
ture has less of a gloomy aspect than a
month ago. The people of this country
have been compelled to exercise more rigid
economy than ever before, and, as a conse
quence, business affairs have a more
healthful promise. Encourage hope and
confidence, and nw that Congress Uasadi
journcd and no further legislation can bo
expected this year, there is no jcruoa why
the backbone o$ stagnation should pot be
broken."
National Lumheh Association.
The session of the National Association of
Lumbermen at Williamsport during last
week, was one of extraordinary importance
and interest. It was the initiatory step of
the union of the many diversified interests
appertaining to the same industry, and
was attended with many unexpected de
velopments from the first. Delegates were
present from Main, New Hampshire, Ver
mont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Mi
chigan, Maryland, Wisconsin, Florida,
Connecticut, Minnesota, Ohio, and Geor
gia. Michigan had the largest representa
tion. The officers elected to serve for the
preseutyear under the new Constitution
are as follows : President L. D. Wetmorc,
of Warren, Pa. Vice Presidents Hon. J.
G. Thorp, Eau Claire, Wis.; Ezra Hast,
Saginaw, Mich.; T. H. Marston, Hartford,
Conu. Secretaries James R. Smith, Buf
falo, N. Y.; II. H. Colquitt, Savannah,
Ga. Corresponding Secretary J. H. Sim
mouds, IJoston, Mass. One of the princi
pal acts of the Association was to protest
vigorously agaiust the Reciprocity Treat',
which proposes to admit Canadian lumber
to the United States freo of duty. It id to
be hoped that other bodies representing the
other American industries that are jeop
arded by the treaty, will take like action
and utter similar protest before the meeting
of Congress iu December. Fortunately
the treaty was uot ratiGed by tho Senate
during the se-sion just closed, and there is
therefore plenty of time for the press of the
country, aud for the interests threatened,
to express opinions which will defeat the
treaty when it cornea up for oorwideration
next winter.

It is a ma ring (hat people do not sea that

Another Fatal Case.
DEATH OF A HUTtllKIt WHO WAS MTTKK
WY A DOG A MONTH AGO AflON Y IN A
STRAIGHT JACKET.
Those who have doubted the existence
of hydrophobia were taken aback yester
day by the death of William McCormick of
No. .'500 East Firity-first street, whose case
exhibited all tho most pronounced symp
toms of that disease. A little over a month
ago, Mr. McCormick, who. is a butcher,
aud also follows the express business, was
bitten by a small dog. The wound was
upon tho baud, and was so slight that it
seemed to be only a scratch, and of uo im
portance whatever. His wife aud family
expressed great auxiety on account of the
stir about mad dogs ; but be laughed at
their fears, assuring them that the dog was
not mad, and that there could be no dau
ger. The dog was lakeu to the pond aud
killed, so that there has leeu no chance to
prove whether he had rabies or not.
Ou Mouday Mr. McCormick began to
experience pains in his neck and about his :
shoulders. lie believed that be had rheu- I
mutism aud again laughed at the fears of :

spasm was passing off. The physician ex- j

Dr. Heddori called upon Dr. W. E. Ia-' ,,ominations were made ; 1 st district, Chap
vitt of No. 140 Eist Fifty-first street, and man Frmnan . oj district, Wm. D. Kelly;
requested him to call witn nun upon .Mr. ,
McCormick. At 10, as agreed upon, they
met at McCormick's houe, and went to
tho paticul's room. Without hesitation
Dr. Ixiavitt said that lu; considered the
case one of pronounced hydrophobia. Since
the former visit the case had advanced very
rapidly, and the convulsions followed oach
other with gieat rapidity. Seeing the pa
tient would soou be beyoud tlie control of
the family, male nurses were sent for. The
most powerful anodynes and narcotics
seemed to have no e fleet, and the disease
increased rapidly toward a fatal termina
tion.
At 3:1." yesterday morning the convul
sions were so terrible that the nurses could
not control the patient. He would straight
en himself out aud theu spring with his
might and throw himself from the bed. His
jaws snapjied together and froth ran' from
his mouth in streams. Perspiration rolled
from all parts of his lody, wetting through
his shirt aud the bedding. His face was
livid, and from lime to time his throat
seemed to contract, until the large muscles
stood out iu cords. His. agony was in
teuse, and even chloroform could not be
giveu lo quiet the convulsions. At length
a patrolmau was called iu and sent to the
fifty-ninth street I'olice Station for help
and a straight jacket. Sergeaut Fanning
sent Roundsman West with the straight
jacket and to render such assistance as
minht be necessary. With their united
strength the straight jacket was applied
aud tlieu more couliol could be exercised
over the palieut.
The physiciau remained with Mr. Mc
Cormick all night, but their efforts were
unavailing. Yesterday forenoou Drs.
William A. Hammond, Hogan, C. V. Kus
sel, Hamilton, Yiele of the Board of Health,
Tuttle, Creiniu, E. D. Lcavitt aud other
scientists were called in to see the patient.
They made a careful examination of the
facts connected with the case. Each symp
tom was weighed with the greatest oare,
and every point upon which issue could be
taken was discussed fully. At length they
decided that the case was one of true hy
drophobia, and that no doubt could be cast
upon its genuineness. The time that had
elapsed from the bite of the dog agreed
with the usual lime of incubation. The
slight nature of the wound did uot militate
against the diagnosis, because mauy of the
most prouoiiuced cases of hydrophobia ou
record have come from just such punc
tures. The healing of the wound was na
tural, and this is usual after the bites of
rabid doga. The lirst symptoms aud the
rapid progress of the disease agreed with
the scientific investigations iu previous
cases iu Loudon and Paris. The fatal
termination must goon come, and then a
scientific investigation is to be made, and
the. microscope may revea. important facts.
The treatment Jiad been the free admiuis
tratiou of auodyues and narcotics, as far
as possible, but the constancy with which
the convulsions rapidly followed each other
made the admiuistraliou of any remedies
uncertain and difficult.
During the afternoon Mr. McCormick
was constantly in a slate of spasm. So
rapidly did they follow one another that
the convulsions seemed almost contiuuous.
About 4 o'clock signs of weakness were
shown for the first time, and it became
evident tljat a change was uear. A little
chloroforin was administered, and after
wards the patient wad a littja easier, and
tried to speak. Before his seoteuce could
be finished, another spasm came on, more
terrible than auy. His back was bent like
a bow, aud the entire weight of the body
rested ujkiu the head aud heels. His jaws
crashed together, aud once his teeth went
through his tongue, causing it to bleed pro
fusely. The blood and froth ran from his
mouth spattering over his face aud the bed
clothes. Then giving a tremendous strug
gle, almost bursting the bouds of the
straight jacket, lie brew himself over upon
his side. His jaws were clenched so tight
ly that they cracked iu the terrible strain.
The agony was intense. Iu a few minutes,
just as the clock was strikiugo,an ashen
hue began to spread over bis- face. The
muscular contraction relaxed. The jaw
dropped, and Mr, McCormick's terrible
sufferings were over. Death was welcome,
for no person could haye suflereil as lie did.
Ha was evidently conscious all through the
terrible struggle, as was shown by his at
tempt to speak just before his death. The
straight jacket was removed, and then the
rigor mortis began to set in. No evidence
could be gained as to the effacy of any kind
of treatment, the rapid progress of the di
sease to a fatal termination making every
effort futile bcyotld man's control.

Washington, June .'. The Treasury
Department employees were considerably
agitated to-day iu view of the anticipated
reduction of fore. The ladies were par
ticularly disturbed, and collected in groups
in various paits ol the building discussing
the subject. This morning the heads of
all the bureaus handed to Secretary Bristow
the list of those to be dismissed.
The heaviest discharge was made iu the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the
services of three hundred and seventy-five
female employees hiring dispensed with,
leaving twelve hundred still employed in
that buieau. The scene of dismissal was
marked by sadness, aud fourteen of the
women who ware discharged fainted when
the announcement was made to them, and
physicians was called to their assistance.
Forty cltrks were discharged from the
Second Auditor's office and other dis
charges will be made to-morrow. It was
recommeuded by the bureau officers that
only one of a family be retained, and this
recommendation was generally followed.
This wholesale discharge will cause much
suffering, which, however, will be some
what alleviated by the payment of two
mouths' extra pay to every victim of Con
gressional economy.
Trouble Mt the Mint.
THE CONSTERNATION CAUSED MY THE
KOKK1GN DETECTIVE.
Ou Monday, among the many visitors
who applied for admission to the United
States Mint was a well-attired foreigucr of
pleasant manuers and address, who stated
that he desired to make an examination of
the American system of coinage for scien
tific purposes. It fell to his lot to be es
corted by Capt. Ruloti, one of the geutle
mauly ushers of the institution, who gave
the gentleman all the necessary informa
tion as they strolled through the establish
ment. Arriving at the smelting room, the
foreigner confidentially informed his at
tendant that he had leally been sent by the
authorities at Washington to discover
whether any jeeulation8 was being in
dulged in by the employees, and that al
ready he had detected one of the workmen
iu the act of secreting silver coin. To make
good his accusation he took from the pock
et of this man half a doyen silver dollars
of the coinage of 1874. Governor Pollock
was sent for at once, but before he arrived
the foreign detective had implicated half a
dozen others of the employees in similar
practices, and had his ockets filled with
coin of all denominations, which he had
taken from the pockets, hats, aprons, ami
shoes of the workmen.
As soow as the (.jouernor came down
stairs the facts were made known to him,
when to the astonishment of the spectators
it was discovered that not only had Mr.
Pollock himself secreted iu the folds of his
shirt-bosom a half dozen silver pieces, but
that lie had actually picked from the pocket
of one of the bystanders a cigar case.
Things began to assume a serious aspect
when the foreign gentleman presented
Governor Pollock with his card, bearing
the inscription : "Professor Herrmann."
After a hearty round of applause and
laughter, the Governor took charge of his
light-fingered friend aud devoted a consid
erable time of his entertainment, which
the professor reciprocated by some re
markable improvements in ociVA money

of Postmaster General the latter part of
this week. Tho Philadelphia livpiirtr
says : Postmaster General Hale is a young
man, the youngest iu the Cabinet, having
completed his IVth year iu the same month
wherein he is summoned to the council
board of the President. For his age Mr.
Hale has had a remarkably long experience
in public affairs. A lawyer by profession,
he was admitted to the bar in 1857. Soon
after his admission he was elected county
attorney for Hancock county, Maine, filling
that office for nine consecutive years ; leav
ing it to enter the Legislature of his native
State, of which he was a member in 1807,
and 18'S, retiring from the legislative halls
of the Sunrise State to. take his place in the
national House of Representative, where
he completed his second term on Tuesday
last. In Congress Mr. Hale proved himself
a fearless champion of what to him seemed
the right. Of the measure of his adminis
trative abilities the county will soon have
practical evidences.

The Most Wonderful Natural Curiosity
in the form of a floating island has recently
made its appearance upon the northern
part of Monomonock Lake in Ridge, N.
II. In extent it is variously estimated from
four to six acres ; the soil is firm and many
approached it by boats and traveled over j
it ; the entire surface is covered by a thrifty
growth of ve gelation, consisting of grass,
cranberry vines, bay and whortleberry
bushes

face. This island was first seen in this
part of the lake on Saturday, May M ; per

moved about two miles down the lake ;
Wednesday, June 3, it returned lothe same
place, and took a smilar position, except a

Lake Monomonock is situated partly in
New Hampshire and partly in Massachu
setts, in the towns of Rindgeand Wiuchen
don,and covers an area of 2500 acres. This
tract of land was originally a part of Winch
chdon, Mass., and was probably started from
its natural location by the lake being un
usually high and a strong southerly wind
prevailing. The natural curiosity , together
with the beauty of this sheet of water and
the surrouuding scenery, is attracting a

THE 11EECIIER-TILTON TROUBLE WHAT
TILTON SAYS BUSINESS, AND THE
WEATHER.
New Y'ork, June 30, 1874.
THE GREAT MEECIIER-TILTON IMBROGLIO.
The topic of the town at this present mo
ment is the revival of the Beechcr-Tilton
quarrel. The last number of Tiltou's
paper, the Uobhn Aye, contains a letter
over tlie signature of the editor, addressed
to Rev. Leonard Bacon, of New Haven,
which puts Mr. Beecher in a rather awk
ward position. The situation is something
like this :
Your readers all remember that some
years ago the notorious Mrs. Woodhull
staled in her paper that lleury Ward
Beecher had been guilty of criminal inter
course with the wife of Tilton. Those who
knew Mrs. Tiltou knew that the charge
was false ; but those in position to know,
felt that there was something the matter
somewhere. Tilton withdrew from Ply
mouth Church, and the talk circulated with
great freedom.
Since this time, some friends of Beecher
have jiersecuted Tilton unremittingly. Dr.
Bacon, in his address to the council, spoke
so pointedly of the magnanimity of Beecher
toward Tilton in refusing to "crush" him,
that Tiltou felt obliged to give to the pub
lic the facts in the case, to the cud of show
ing who was the magnanimous man of the
two.
Mr. Tilton states that after he had beeu
for fifteen years a member of Plymouth
Church, and had become meanwhile an in
timate friend of the pastor, knowledge came
to him in 1870, that he had committed
uyaintt him em offenec trhivh he forliort to
name or characterize. Prompted by his
self-respect, he immediately and forever
ceased his attendance on his ministry.
Then he gives a long account of how he
closed his connection with Plymouth
Church. The church had knowledge
through Wcodhull's paper of the charges
against Beecher, but it refused to believe
them. Mr. Shearman, the clerk of the
church, was reported in the Brooklyn Un
ion as saying :
"As for Mrs. Tilton, she had occasioned
the whole trouble while in a half-crazed
condition. She had mediumistic tits, aud
while under the strange power that possess
ed her often spoke of the most incredible
things, declared things jiossible that were
impossible, and among the rest had slan
dered Mr. Beecher. Mr. Tiltou himself
had acknowledged that all the other things
she hail told him in her mediumistic trance
were false and impossible."
This language, however, Mr. Shearman
afterward retracted.
But in all the discussiou of the question,
great stress was laid upon the fact that
Tilton had slandered Beecher ; that he was
bringing reproach upon the church, and
that Beecher's sparing him was really saint
like. So Tilton proceeds to show directly
who is the magnanimous man, and he pub
lishes a letter he wrote Mr. Beecher, dated
May 1, 1874 :
Henry Ward Jieerher.
Sir : Mr. F. B. Carpenter mentions to
me your saying to him that under certain
conditions, involving certain disavowals by
me, a sum of money would or could be
rawed to scud me, with my family, to Eu
rope for a term of years.
The occasion compels me to state expli
citly that so long as life and self-respect
continue, to exist together in my breast, I
shall be debarred from receiving, either di
rectly or indirectly, any pecuniary or other
favor at your hand.
The reason for this feeling on my part
you know so well that I will spare you the
statement of it. Yours truly,
TlIEODOKE TlLTON. .
Why did Mr. Beechcr desire the absence
of Tilton enough to raise money to keep
him aud his family in Europe for a term of
years ? What were the disavowals upon

..... .... , t
In Mr. Bacon's speech on the Brooklyn
Council, the following occurs :
"Another part of the theory is that Mr.
Beecher's magnanimity is unspeakable. I
never knew a man ot a larger and more
generous mind. One who was in relations
to him the most intimate possible, said lo
me, 'If 1 wanted to secure his highest love,
1 would go into a church-meeting and ac
cuse him of crimes.' This is his spirit.
But I think he may carry it too far. A
man whose life is a treasure to the Church
Universal, to his country, to his age, has
no right to subject the faith iu it to such a
strain. And I think Mr. ISeecber would
have done better to have let vengeance
come on the heads of his slanderers."
Whereupon Mr. Tilton publishes the fol
owing which he has held in his possession
four years :
Brooklyn, Jan. 1, 1871.
I ask Theodore Tilton's forgiveness, and
humble myself before him as I do before
my God. He would have been a better
man in my circumstances than 1 have been.
1 can ask nothing except that he will re
member all the other breasts that would
ache. I will not plead for myself. I even
wish that I were dead.
II. W. Beecher
This letter was written by Mr. Beecher
at the demand of Mr. Tiltou. The act for
which he begs forgiveness is stated to have
been an attempt upon Mrs. Tilton of the
most gross nature, which Mrs. Tilton in
dignantly rejected, and which Mr. Tilton
as indignantly resented. Whether it is
true or not lhat Beecher made base pro
posals to Mrs. Tilton, there is no doubt as
to the genuineness of the letter. What is
omitted from it no one knows but Tilton,
Beecher and the friend who was present
when it was written. It is presumed, how
ever, by Mr. Beecher's enemies to be the
confession of a specific sin, while his friends
insist that there is no such a thing in it
My opinion is that Mr. Tilton has said
either too little or too much. If he has
proof positive that Henry Ward -Beecher
did make infamous proposals to his wife,
no delicacy should stop him from making
that proof public. If he has this proof he
owes it lo himself, to his wife, and to the
public that such great hypocricy lie un
masked, and so great a hypocrite be pulled
from the place he dishonors. But his
charges are vague, indefinite, and indirect.
He says Mr. Beecher committed an offence
against him, but he does not state what
that offence was. He addresses a note to
him, declining pecuniary assistance, but
docs not give the reasons therefor. lie
publishes an apology from Beecher, one-
half of which is omitted.
I submit that if the public are entitled
to any knowledge of this thing, they are
entitled to know all about it. Mr. Beecher
is guilty or not guilty. He cannot be tried
on indefinite statements. So great a man
can only be killed by indefinite charges,
with proof enough behind them to carry
conviction. Nothing else will do. If Mr.
Tilton has the proof and it looks as thongh
he bad he makes a mistake in not putting
it forward. It is what the people who be
lieve in Mr. Beecher will demand, and they
will take nothing less. The course Mr.
I5eecher's friends will take is foreshadowed
in their remarks last night. Tbey propose
to ignore the whole thing. They say that
an offence for which an apology was offered
and accepted, could not have been any thin
serious, or anything beyond a misunder
standing. They reiterate their confidence
in their pastor, and express their determi
nation to stand by him. This will compel
Mr. Tilton to make specific charges, for
nothing else will vindicate him. We shall
see what he will do.
business

gress in fixing permanently the currency,
so lhat business men may depend with

torsExplanatory Remarks Re

Report.
We, the undersigned, Auditors of Northum
berland County, met at the Commissioners' Of
fice, June 22d, 1S74, for the purpose ot making
explanations to those tax payers of said county,
who may have been misled by the erroneous
charges made by Charles Hottenstein, as regards
the settlement with A. Cadwallader, late Treas
urer of said county; contained in our report of
1873, do certify the following to be a trne state
ment of the several orders not mentioned ic the
expense account, which were not considered ex
penses of 1373, and were adiled to the list of
orders paid by the Treasurer, who was entitled
to bis commission for the same, amounting to
the sum of $11,210 25, as follows :

$11,310 25.
Order No. 346, amounting to $1,300 00, wis.
for the payment of a loan mode in 1872 from th
First National Bank of Sunbury, charged to the;
Treasurer in the audit of that year.
Orders, No. 610 and 1079, amounting to $41
500 00, were issued as payment of louns from
said Bank, made in 1873, and charged to Treas
urer. Orders, No. 594, 693, 694. 695, 698, 699 and
826, amounting to (3,202 S3, includes all expen
ses for locating, surveying, advertising and sell
ing the lands belonging to the connty, now lying
outside of its limits, and investigating titles in
reference to the same.
Order No. 1,001, amounting to $1,263 67, was
issued by Commissioners to Treasurer for taxes
for laud sold to the county by Treasurer In 1868,
1870 and 1S72, for which they did not hold deeds.
This amount is charged to the Treasurer in bis
settlement, less the costs.
Orders, Nos. 1,004, 1,083, 1,122 and 1,143,
amounting to $$43 75. includes the expenses for
locating, seated and nnseated lands, now lying
within the county, and notifying such holders to .
redeem before sale.
It will thus be seen that the above amount of
$11,310 23, added to the actnal expenses of the
year, including old orders paid, and after de- .
ducting Treasurer's commission, will exactly .
balance :hc amunnl of orders Usned, namely, .
$84,910 9S. We therefote claim that our late
report is. und alwajs was correct, "General,
Reader's" and Tax-payerV: assertions to the
contrary notwithstanding; and that we closed;
the same just as we intended it should be, know-.
Ing that the Receipts and Expenditures and the:
Taeasurer's settlement are two separate and dis-.
tiuct accounts. We would also state that Mr.
Hottensteiu was in error when he stated tkt
the Treasurer bad the amount of outstanding
taxes, Jtc, in his pocket, as we know the Treas
urer is always charged with overpaid tale as
well as with any other cash received.
We would hereafter advise "General Reader,'
alias Charles Hottcnstein, before he proceeds to.
assail the honesty of the County Treasurer, and
cast contempt and ridicule npon the board at
County Anditors, to try and master the diSere-no
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. Hottenstein, his communications deserved
only silent contempt, and would have been treat
ed by us as snch had we not thought that other
tax payers of the county might be led astray by
his misrepresentations and misaonceptions. We
shall take no further notice of his insolent at
tacks upon ns but leave hiui alone in his
glorv.
