Court, stood as follows: Baltimore coun-
tv, Con7tablc 2O72, Barroll 1745; Har-

The CLERKAND REGISTER change
in these officers has taken place, or soon
will. Messrs Hollyday and Howard
who retire, have, by common consent,
been most capable and diligent officers.
While the new ones, Messrs Mitchell
and lamar, may not be able to excel
them, we hope they will, as they are
competent to do, conduct their Offices as
well, and give as general satisfaction.
UrOur old friend Janrey is now
performing the duties of his office as
Sheriff. Evil-doers need never take to
the woods to escape him, for he is per-
tectly at home there. In his great speech
before the Wing Convention, he stated
he "would faithfully beat the bushes" to
ensure his election, and the result shows
his success; such majority as he beat
up at North East, was never before heard
/ of.
FROM CALlFoR Naive met this
week Mr.. James Mckinsey-formerly
of our town-just arrived from Calitor-
MIA, where he had been residing two
years. He givesa better account ofthe
country than any one we have yet met.
He left Stockton about the last of Sep
tember, at which time he saw r. F.
Nav, James Rudolph and John Evans
of this county, who were in excellent
health, and are all proftabIy employed
in the mercantile business.
The COMMISSIONERS The old Board
If Commissioners met for the last time
on the 3rd inst. The new Constitution
cut them out of a year of their term.
Being intimatel y connected with them
during the time they were in Office, we
bear testimony to their faithfulness as
public officers. They may have COM
mitted errors; but lfso, they were errors
of Judgment, for they were at all times
careful Of the interests of the county. So
far as the high tax OF the present year is
concerned-that was no fault of theirs.
They had to levy for extraordinary
Court expenses, and other unusual char
ges, as will be seen by reference to a
statement ofthe Levy, in another part
of this paper.
To-day the new Board Of Commits
sioners meet to organize. They are
fresh hands, with the exception of Mr..
Boulden, who served two years, some
six or seven years ago. We understand
the Governor decideds that Mr. Mackev
and not Mr.. Craig is the seventh COM
missioner; but donot know such to be
the fact. Nor do we know that 1t can
be decided till the Legislature meets.
One of the first acts ofthe New Board
to-day, will be to elect clerk. We
understand there are several applicants:
Ex-sherif Hanes, David Scott of James,
Geo. II. Joyce and perhaps others. The
general opinion here, seems to be, that
Mr.. Hanes will be the clcrk-but few
hours will determine.
