be the probable surplus over the expenditures

County can be very little, if any. The great de-
probation Of county warrants now in market, is
to be regretted, from the fact that there is no
reason why this should be the case, and, as
necessary result, only adds to the burden of our
taxation, now too heavy. The County Super

The Delnquencies will be collected on the
Road fund at as early day as possible
The Treasurer reports also, that collections
are being made upon the Delinquent Lists of
lS47, 1913, 194,, and 1850, but, owing to the
grea: number Of mistakes in the description OF
the property, the double assessments, and the
conflict in the law relative to the enforcing of
payment, he is unable to make anything like a
satisfactory report, consequently the Delinquent
list for the years named still stand charged to
him, and will be by ME reckoned as credits of
the county, until they closed by payment or
otherwise.
The Treasurer reports the total amount OF
County orders and County warrants Cancelled by
him during the year to be $2l734, q
This amount includes receipts from taxes and
in lieu Of warrants paid in change. On the
above sum of $2l734,27 Cancelled, there has
been allowed the sum of ,5l ,6i as interest that
had accrued To this add the Interest account
allowed by this office, and we have the amount
of interest paid by the County for the past year,
$l013,23. Deduct from the amount cancelled
the sum Of SS597 GA warrants issued in lieu
of others cancelled, and we have The amount of
$64O2.7l as credit of the county upon her liza
blIties.
There is no data in the office by which an
exact or even approximate estimate of the
amount of outstanding orders can be made, con-

| Here is brief summary Of the County af-
fairs under both the old and newisysen, and we
are fully satisfied that it will vary but little, if
| any thing, from accurate examination Of the
books and accounts Of the county, as they really
exist.
BY reference to the report of the County
Judge, tull and complete statement Of the
present condition of the county will be POUNDS
These statements taken together, must show
most conc.usvely to The people, that there has
been an immense sight of idle gasconade and
petty, puerile, nonsense, bestowed upon the
Code, by Wing thunder makers and office
seekers. How ridiculous it is, and how MORT
flying it must be to men Of any pride, to witness
this sicily parroting and Jackal pusilanimity
about the Code.
One would suppose, from the way these po-
litical thunder makers and vendors, chatter
through the country, about The Code, and the
pledges they make of what they will do if
elected, that our entire legislative system would
be subvcrted, Constitution overthrow, unex-
ampled crops secured, wealth piled mountains
high upon every man in the State Rail Roads
built TO order, and supplied with business, SUM-
shine and rain whenever desired !; life prolonged
beyond the Rule, and general, complete and
radical revolution in all that pertains to presen,
things.
Well, all we have to say is, that we have
heard these animals, ,chat they call Whigs, talk
before, and we never heard them talk in any
other way, just before election. 1t is weak
ness, which is peculiar to the animal, when
sorely afflicted by the dispensations Of public
opinion.
1t is nothing but the old cry Of, 4" Down ,oith
the corrupt Locofocos," and sap piM as
honest men. We lore tie dear people, and miH
do them good in the Haus Of Legislation. This
is the whinning, caating, hypocritical cry, a,
the polls and among the people out what in the
OF all that is dear TO a voter, do we behold
when they oL'ai,. p"wer? I't'eA aud pirate
upon the people, this administration has
done Look at the nordinaie and une xamplet
profagacy and pcculation which have character
lied this administration; the hypocrisy and de-
eeption, which entered into and controlled tile
of the late Wing National Con
vention; and the general course of the Wing
party whenever it acquires political power, and
then ask yourselves, whether you can with
safety, repose your political destines in such
hands. Men should begin to investigate and
reflect for themselves, and not be guided by |
the whins and misrepresentation of such as
are clay in the hands Of the potter, or, III palmer
language, tools in the hands Of their lords.

uEREP-RT OF THE COUNTY JUDGE.

We lay before our readers this morning an
elaborate repor, from the County Judge With
all the wonderful hue and cry. which is raised
against the Code, it is fortunate, to be able to
present such statement, and it must, as it ought
to, produce powerful influence upon voters
on Monday next.
Let the Code be fairly understood-lct the
result Of its operation upon the people, be fairly
RI presented and understood, and all this stupid
and mcrcsnary harranguc, about this system Of
laws, will fall to the ground
We are by no means in favor of all the pro-
visions of the ode. The main features of it,
think are good, although there are
always becnthr case, in every say stem of laws,
that was ever submitted to people, and proba
bly, always vii! be the case
Now, let us submit few plain, practical,
every day, truths upon the operations of the
Code in this county We offer them in figures
which cannot lie--s,ubborn truths, which direct
y and powerfully appeal to the Judgment and
candor Of every voter Read fellow citizens
md be just
We give the amount of fees received by
county officers and the amount paid to them, as
salaries AMI exhibit balance in favor of the
county of 81 ,23.
Amoun, Received as fee by County Officers
up to July Ist $2.46l,2 3
Salaries paid to Co. Judge, Clerk and R,cor-
der $4,000
Prosecuting Attorneys fees $4,000
shcritis tees 1000 2,i5ooO
Balance in favor of County II,23
1t will be well for the people to bear in mind,
that this So ,46l 23 is raised in the shape of fee 5
that it is paid by the autng, specializing and
iand rnd,ng portion of community, and not
by the great mass of the people, who pursue
the even and quiet course of legitimate bust
ness; not by the people Of the country, who are
the genuine conservators of the public welfare
and in place OF specializing upon the chances and
caprces of litigation and trade, are quietly
peacefully and lndustriously producing the
wealth of the country.
We now proceed to exhibit comparison OF
the expenses of the county, under the last year
Of the old law, with the first year of the New
law, which must give the voters of the county
an entirely different conception Of the system,
from what they have had heretofore.
Amount of Poor expenses under the last year
