Corruption on the Public Works.

lI is known that Billy Sawyer and the unier.
rihed Democracy Of the Nouhwest, we're not
overly well pleased with the nomination Of T..
2. Miller Tor member Of the Bpard Of Public
Works, and that many Of them. rather than
support him, voted for Mr. COnoyer. the Wing
candidate. The original cause Of The feud is
matter Of 90 consequence, bot recent develope.
mems, growing out Of IL, are rather important
10 the public. ID seems that some months ago,
Sawyer got up public meeting Of the D.moc.
racy Of Mercer county, and demanded the ap.
pointmenI Of one Michael Wallace 10 the Office
CT Engineer on the canal, The Board Of Pub.
lie Works, IN obedience 70 the demand OF Saw
yer and his friends. made the appoinlment.-
Sawyer became security on WalIace's official
bond, and Wallace became Sawyer's tool, as
will presently be seen.
The time came round when certain Jobs on
the canal were TO De let, and among others the
cleaning Of the 81. Marys Basin. Sawyer was
a bidder for the contract. and Of course il vas
awarded to him by the instrument he had Sc.
cured for that purPOse-Engneer Wallace.
The work was done, measured By Wallace, and
paid for By the State. So far, all had turned
out exactly as intended; but squabble arose
among Sawyer and some OF his conlederates
about the "sPoils," and it came to MIller's ears
that there had been "goUging"-an operation
to which perhaps he would not have objected,
except that il furnished him the very opporlu.
niIy he desired 10 expose and put down an en-.
emy. Accordingly The Boart Of Pubic Works
had Wallace arrested for obtaining money from
the State under false prelences, The specific
charge being that he had made ialss estimates
upon Sawyers job. couupI!y allowing for nore
work than had been done. The Trial took place
before Smhh, or Gun. Smith. as he is called,
Justice OF the Peace in 81. Mary's, and par.
llcular friend o Sawyer. Wallace & Co.
The trial took place in a large room up sIairs
at the Sawyer House. 10 81. Mary's, and from

up by the imagination. The material thing
which we wish TO state, as TO showing how 10.

fact disclosed on the trial THAI Wallace, in es.
timaling Sawyer's job. had allowed more cubic
yards of excavation, 10 cleaning out the basin
than the whole number of cubic yards ORIGINAL.
LY IN IT!
The work. thus estimated, was paid for by
the Safe, and we presume that a more corrupt
piece Of business has not been transacted since
the time when certain LocOroco contractors, in
collision with dishonest Engineers, enriched
themselves out OF The Treasury of Ohio, as
shown in The Report Of the "CommiVIee on
Rascality."
