bJ"' Reform reilerates his assertion in

Revenue Commissioners in consequence
lot neglect on the part Of the County Com
mssloEers, Notwithstanding they have
'hewn to the satisfaction of every unpte-
Uudlced miGd that the fault lay else wnere
and moi with them, This is no more than
we expected. For we had no idea that
Reform would acknowledge his error al.
though proof should be given as thick as
blsckberries.' Neither light Tor right
were what he aDanted. He had another ob.
jecl in view. 1t was an at.emp, to throw obi.
um on the Commissioners regardless Of the
means used, or the manner OF using them
Not because they have been guilty Of neg
ecl Of duty. but because, as we remarked
IN former ar,icIs, they are R9movll men
aud friendly TO the Removal Bill II wish
les TO throw dlscredi upon them in The one
case, that he may destroy the confidence OF
the community in them in another in
which they will soon be called upon to act

mistaken. They have heretofore proven
themselves faithful guardians of the public

Blu, has Reform done hi, duty as good
citizen should who had lhe interest Of the
communily SO much at heart as he now
prelends to havel Did he answer The IN
lerogatorIes sent him by the Revenue Com
nissioners! or did he take measures, upon
the reccip, Of The letters which he received
from the Revenue Commissioner lron this
Judicial District, warning him of the danger
Of an increase OF The assessment, to prevent
It! He does not even pretend that he did,
BY doing so, justice might have been
done lhe county, but he would have lost Ihe
opportunity of throwing the blame upon
he Commissioners, and had one the less
weapon 10 use to affect Me local election in
october. The interest Of the county was
small, with him, in comparison with that Of
ms own. The one might suffer for what

Out upon such trickery. he garb iS

mistake not, these groundIesS attacks upon
The Commissioners, will rebound back with

A word with regard to the County Taxes
and we have done with Rrrorm,' at leas'
for the present. A few years since, the
Commissioners were under the control OF
the DanyIIe faCllon,' when II will be res
membered by all, the County taxes were
higher Than they have been since, and yet
county orders were hawked about the streets
md sold at a discount. Now II is other
wise, Since the Commissioners have been
exclusively Removal men, the taxes have
been gradually reduced almost every year;
the demands upon the Treasury PrompII!
paid and this year the Commissioners have
been enabled to reduce the taxes ohe half
which is but little more, if any, than one
third Of the amount levied when The Dan.
slile faction had the control of he affairs Of
the county And when the county sea-
shall be removed to Bloomsbury, there will
.c 10 necessity for any material increase ol
even This sum, as the county expenses will
be largely decreased in consequence of its
central location. 81 much for Reform
