Ger fatty denie. the sweeping charges of frauds
made sgarst him in the parts repor, Of the Com
mi,tfe on County Offices the Board Of Supervisors
We know noihirg OF the case eIcep, 50 much as we
have published, but il 10 that DR.. Gs de-
mand 70 be confronted with his and 10 have
an opportunity for defense explanation Is well
nut and we are glad 20 learn that he Is 70 have
such a chance Whatever delinquencies may
finally be proved, il seems quite too summary
a proceeding to try and condemn man who Is con-
fined 10 his bed by sickness il may do under the
provisions of the Fugitive Slave Law, but Dr. Geer
il still believed TO be a white man. both in law and
in fact and il is quite natural that he should rebel
at this sided proce eding. Perhaps the Commit
tee have done more than their du,y-possioly
they have given us the truth and nothing but the
Truth but they admit that they have not given the
whole truth, out of tenderness for the Coroner Had
they simply deferred the payment Of the bill until
the Coroner could have been put upon his defense,
they would have shown no more than proper for
bearance and relieved themselves of the stigma Of
improper haste, to say the least The debate IN the
Board of Supervisors Friday, on the reference Of
the Coroner's Communication shows disposition
with most Of them to give proper opportunities for
explanation to the accused officer.
In the same spirit say, let justice be done,
give the accused the rights guaranteed BY the law,
then if he fail to excupate himself let him be made
to suffer the prescribed penalty but do not mar the
proceedings and corrupt the verdict by ar parfs
trial, Illegal and indecent haste and unfeeling dis
regard for the physc condition Of the man whose
honor to be sustained destroyed by the result Of
the inquest.

IN favor of Street Preaching, to suggest that the
melancholy coachmen who stand in front OF the
various more respe churches, are very desti.
tute class and debarred from gospel privileges, and
that htr religious ants should be first attended TO,
inasnuch as know not but they would be glad re-
cpients of other droppngs from the sanctuary than
drops Of rain from the roof thereof.
