Mow Is It?
We have had the minutes of the
county board of supervisors very
carefully examined, and find therein
contained no reference whatever to
the fee-book business.
If the board, at any time daring,
their sessions, have spoken with, au
thority, there appears no trace of it in
their book which is supposed to be a
complete statement of things done by
them.
Before voting . additional pay for
public service, in the way of deputies
and assistants for this and that, did
the board, or any insisting minority
of .them demand to know the fall
amonnt of public revenue derived
from fees in the different offices, and
an inspection of the record of fees of
each official?
If this was done, and the fact found
that no sufficient account had been
kept, why not so state in the record?
Should public matters be hid away
in the dark?
Why not let every important mat
ter appear fairly and squarely upon
the record?
If any man has wronged the county
by retaining more money than his
just compensation under the law, let
it be recorded, no matter who he may
be. No man's person is so sacred
that he should be allowed to contin
ually set at defiance the laws of his
country.
Public officers have no functions
whatever except those fixed by stat
ute, and to exercise powers not ex
pressly granted.is so dangerous to the
public welfare that supervisors are
held individually responsible on their
official bonds for mouey ordered on
their vote from the treasury in viola
tion of law. If this be not so, why
were you required to give the large
bond you did ?
The supervisor who wishes to keep
himself free from blame, and also free
from financial responsibility on ac
count of his votes, should demand the
ayes and nays on every important
proposition where money is to be
ordered from the treasury, and see
that they are faithfully recorded, and
then when he casts his vote give the
county and himself and his own
bondsmen the benefit of any doubt
there may be.

Hon. Parke Goodwin, the prosecut

sound as of some one receiving a
heavy fall, and making further inves
tigation found the body of Goodwin
at the foot of the stairs leading to his
room prostrate and insensible, with
both eyes blackened and swollen
shut, his forehead bruised and upon
the back part of his head were sev
eral frightful- scalp wounds, which
looked like cuts made by some 6harp
instrument, his face covered with
blood so as to be unrecognizable. It
is believed by some that Mr. Goodwiu
was assaulted by some one on his re
turn' to his room, after being out with
a party of friends, and that it was the
intention to murder him. He has
thus far been unable to explain the
real facts in the case, "and for the
present they must remain a mystery.
The republican party of this coun
try has long enough suffered its ene
mies in the south to ride, rough shod,
over those who professed its faith.
Let the party adopt the policy of en
forcing the just demand of equality
before the law for all men. The Sew
ard Blade has these commendable
sentiments :
"The kind of a man the Blade wants
for president more than any other, is
one who will see to it that the whole
people of the United Stites, let them
be black or white, are permitted to
enjoy their political and civil rights
without the interference of bulldozers,
night riders, red shirts, or the Missis
sippi plan. We boast that this i6 a
land of freedom and point to the
'star spangled banner' with great
pride'; but a portion of, the people of
the 'land of the free and the home of
the brave' don't know what political
freedom is, for they have never yet
been permitted to enjoy its blessings.
Give us a man that will bulldoze the
bulldozers."

When any one hears a democrat
boasting of the patriotism of the party
in the dark days of the republic, don't
argue, but just gat a copy of the res
olutions adopted by the convention
which met in Chicago twenty years

answer. They will make the blood
tingle in every old soldier's veins, and
make every loyal lover of the old flag
ashamed to have any part or lot in
such an organization. Jrtter-Ocean.

"Her recital of selections from Shales
peare's plays, especially Cleopatra's

has recently been decided in the su
