Mr. Biesecker repli.nl that it would be proper if, from our investigations, the objections aad criticisms contained there in were warranted by the facts. Mr. Sipe said, ti, yes ; they are all true, and mgieatdeal more," thst the only objec tion be had was that it would "make the commissioners mad, mnd no one else will ever know- anything alsmt it as the com missioners would never publish it." That after dinner of said day Sipe, with out solicitation upon the part of any per son present, voluntarily signed the re port as filed in the presence of B. J. Bow man, A. J. Hileman mnd himself. Mr. Rhoads concludes by saying that he "verily believes that said Peter Sipe, when he signed said report mnd the re marks attached thereto, was fully in formed rs to tho contents of said report. nd the objections and interpositions at tached thereto, and fully comprehended and understood the same, and knew w hat ha was signing."

Coit of Traveling Oa Sad Boads. An illustration of the comparative cost of hauling over good mud bad roa U is furnished by C. E. Ash burn a, Jr., in the Louisville Courier Journal. The incident came under his own observation, and the roads were in Kentucky. He says: "A machine weighing 16,000 pounds was drawn four miles on the Brock turn pike, a niacdamized road. It required four mules (4,000 pounds to m mule), mnd one mnd one-half hours of time, mt m cost of fifteen cents per mule per hour, or a total cost for four mules ot ninety cents. "After traveling four miles on maca damized turnpike, the route lay a little less than 2,000 feet (loss than two-fifths of of a mile) on a dirt road. To travel this 5,000 feet it was necessary to use ten of the best mules and seven men ; and with this force it took nine hours to complete the journey. The cost was fStt.

If there were no other reason than the objections intrpel by the County Aud itors to the loose and alleged unlawful system of conducting public business ob taining in the ofliou of the County Com missioners, the manner in w hich the re cent triennial assessment has been made mnd afterwards in tinted, is sufficient grounds tr demanding a thorough aud prompt investigation of that Important office. Readers of this journal will recall that ms early sjt nix months sgo the Herald sounded a warning that valuations would be raised and taxes increased under the coming triennial assessment. Inquiry at the commissioners' office as to why this was to be done elicited the information that the revenue of the county was not sufficient to discharge the indebtedness created by the retiring board of commis sioners, and that the assessors had been instructed to raise the valuation of mil property taxable for county purposes to m- nearly a cash basis ms practicable. The various mssessors, working under their respective oaths and affirmations, conscientiously carried out th6 instruc tions received by them from the commis sioners, mnd, as a result, raised the valu lions in their respective districts from 10 to 50 per cent. In some cases the returns of the assessors were accepted by the commissioners, and In others the assess ors were sent home with instructions to raise the valuations still higher. The re turns of a few assessors were rejected as often ms three times, or until after it ap peared that they had brought the valua tion np to a point satisfactory to the ideas of the commissioners. Commissioners Kretchtnan aud Good were unfamiliar with this particular line of their official duties, neither of them ever before having had anything to do with fixing the valuation of all property subject to county taxation, and it was only natural, therefore, that they should defer to the judgment of Commissioner Kimmel), who had previous training in that office, so it came about that an addi tional valuation, ranging from 10 to 50 per cent, upon the return made by the assessors was levied, and, we are told, without thekuowlcdgoor consent of these tw o officials. It is only necessary to refer to one or two instances whore this was done to convince the public that tne fort going statement is not made without authority. The percentage added to the assessor's return for the township of Jen ner was first placed at 3oJ per cent, with out the knowledge or cousent of Commis sioner Kretchnian, and, we are told, with out the knowledge or consent of Commis sioner Good. When Kretchnian learned that the valuation of the farms of that district had leen increased one-third over and above the valuation placed upon them by the assessor uuder oath, he entered a vigorous protest, mnd, ms a result, the per centage was redud 1 'l points, still hav ing it 20 per cent, over and above the val uation returned by the assessor. It is not strange, therefore, that a hard-working young farmer who recently purchased a home in that township mt what was be lieved to be an outside price, $r,000 iu payments, was surprised to find the val uation for taxable purposes raised to 93,400. The valuation of Allegheny township was raised first 50 per cent, over and mbov, the mssasHor's return, but wms liter reduced to 25 per c"nU after Commission ers Good mnd Kretchnian expressed their d issat isfaction. At this point the query, "What were Commissioners Kretchnian and Good do ing while this was going on under their uoses T" arises. The answer is that a great many things affecting the interests of the taxpayers, besides the publication of the alleged annual report of the receipts and expenditures of Somerset county for the year 1S7, were done without the knowl edg or consent of either of these ollicials. But, even more iniquitous and unfair than the process of raising valuations, has bx-n the method adopted at the appeals now being held. Let us again cite Jenner township. The appeal for that district was held on Friday, March 4".h. Between sixty and seventy prominent farmers visited the office of the commissioners and entered m protest mgainst the ad ditional 20 per cent. The assessor wms present, and in every case agreed that the additional 20 per cent, was unjust and unreasonable, as be had valued all of the properties in his district at as nearly a cash value as he conscientiously could do so. What wms the result? The com missioners removed the percentage added by them, or in their name, from the valu ation of all who attended the spiral. In the towuship of Jenner there are more than 4 taxables. 75 of this quid- ler have had 20 per cent, removed from their valuations. Will thecommissiouers permit the percentage laid by them to remain upon the other 325? Could more damnable partiality be shown? 325 Jen ner township taxables who were unable to attend the appeals, many of them on account of their poverty mnd the conse quent expense incurred by doing so, mre asked to pay a higher rate of taxation than their more fortunate and wealthier neighbors. Where, we ask, is the justification for such unjust and unfair partiality as thus? What good reason can be offered for re leasing wealthy farmer A from a portion of the tax assessed against him, and col lecting every cent assessed against poor farmer B ? If there was just cause to release A from the additional percentage added by the commissioners, ir in their name, there are a hundred reasons why the per centage should lie lifted from the shoul ders of overtaxed and burdened farmer B. If there was cause shown why the addi tional percentage should be removed from any one of those w ho applied, the same cause wms ample excuse for lifting it from every taxable in the township. The same method was adopted ou the appeal days for Addison, Brothorsvalley, Upper and Lower Turkeyfoot, Allegheny, Berlin, Northampton, etc Of those tax ables who attended the appeals, all but an exceptional case or two, bad the percent age added by the commissioners removed mnd in several instances the valuation was made lower than the assessor had returned the same. Many, if not all, of those who have at tended the appeals so far, have done so at great personal sacrifice mnd inconveni ence, mcd since, in every case, they have secured what they came after a reduc tion of their valuation w hat reason can exist for carrying the farce farther? Why put the tmxablee of the districts yet to be beard to the expense mud inconvenience of traveling to the county-seat for the purpose of having a confessedly unneces sary valuation placed upon their property removed ? Why don't Commissioners Kretchnian and Good lake the bull by Xhe horns and publicly announce that they have remov ed the percentage added by the commis sioners, or in their mine, from the taxa bles in every district in the county? It will come to this in the end, and what reason can bo assigned for compelling the already heavily -taxed citizens of the county to come from remote sections for the purpose of entering a protest which is absolutely sure to bo granted. Commissioner Kimmell's anxiety to cover np tho alleged 'mismanagement and profligacy of his immediate prede cessors should not stand iu the way of se curing justice to every taxpayer In the county. Remove the additional percentage, and then, if any taxable of the county feels aggrieved at the valuation placed upon bis property by the assessor who made the return of the same under oath, let him be heard, as the law directs, mnd grant him such relief ms tho circumatan cea justify. The rouditiou of iho county treasury does not warrant such an immense in crease in the revenue for the ensuing three years me the excessive valuation in dicates. There are sufficient funds in the treasury and due the county in the way of outstanding taxes to liquidate the county indebtedness and leave a hand some balance on hand. The expendi tures of the county were only one half last year of what they were under the last year of Commissioner Shober, mnd there ia no public improvement staring the taxpayers in the face that demands in creased revenue. The time lias arrived, Messrs. Good and Kretctiiuan, for you to assert your official authority, mnd the people of the county expect you to do your duty. Will you do it? Evangelical AppoiataaeaU.

Only two out of eighteen civil cases set for trial last week reached the stage where a jury was called to determine the issue, all of the others having been either settled or continued. The first case tried was mn ejectment suit entered by Mary Fees, Annie Gebhart mud John Wide- inan, guardian of the children of Rose Ann Gebhart vs. John A. Louther and The Wilmore Coal Company, for the re covery of a tract of land situate in Paint township, Somerset county, and Rich land township, Cambria couuty. After a number of witnesses h id been examined the Court directed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the defendants. The second case called was that of K. M. Zahnizer et al. vs. C. S. Vannear, an ac tion brought to recover for material furn ished in the construction of the Hotel Vannear. Before all of the testimony was heard the parties concerned agreed to a compromise.

OBJECTI053 PEKXITTE3 TO STAND. Daring the session of court held Friday mfternoon F. W. Biesecker. Ej., called up the petition of the County Auditors making that they be granted permission to correct the clerical errors contained in their report of the receipts and expendit ure of Somerset county for the year 17; when, no obj-x-tion being offered, the Court ordered that the corrections asked for be made. More or less disappointment was ex pressed that Commissioner Geo. F. Kim m ell, through his private counsel, did not resist the petition, since he alone ap pear to have been responsible for the libelous attack on the auditors, contained in the Commissioners published report torlSyT.lu w hich it is alleged that the auditors devoted a whole week "ia the formulation of this lying, slanderous and malicious tirade mgainst the Corumiiiou en' office. The report is in itself amass of errors and bunglings that would shame a school boy to be its unhappy author. Before you attempt to regulate the methods of business in the Commissioners' office, you tbould learn to audit. It is only justice to Auditor Sipe to mention that that gentlemen signed the auditors' report under a mis apprehension of its contents, and that his signature thereto was obtaiuod by resort ing to misrepresentations that would do credit to a gang of bunco steerers." Commissioner Kimuiell without the knowledge or consent of Commissioners Good and K retch man caused the libelous statement, from which the above are ex tracts to be published at the expense of the taxpayers of the couuty, and the taxpayers, therefore, had reason to ex pect be would assign his reasons at tha earliest opportunity for this unprecedent ed proceeding. They certainly diJ not expect him to slink away aud allow the serious allegations attecting the official conduct of himself mud Immediate prede cessors in office to gtv unanswered, and they are at a loss to know what prompted Mr. Kimmail to make such a vicious at tick and bis reasons for almndouing it. Readers of the county papers need not be reminded that Commissioner Kim mell's position was justified by two sub sidized publications, and that even they did not have the eon r a go to deny any of the allegations iu the auditors' report of official misconduct mnd profligacy in the office cf the Commissioners, but ou the other hand contented themselves by fill ing their publications with slanderous mnd unjustifiable attacks upon tho per sonal and official integrity of two mem bers of the board of auditors. Under all the circumstances, therefore, it would seem that the taxpayers of the cunty must accept the report of the auditors and the objections entered by them against the unlaw ful anil careless manner of conducting official bjsiness in the office of the Commissioners, as being altogether correct, or until the allega tions contained in their report have been shown to be untrue.
