The Cecil Whig., 1853-12-03

he will be at ~reater loss concerning
himself before we're done with him.
Be it known that We res1rtrd 10 ,phc
very means OF det"cIion," end there
found the information w,i:h led 10 the
charge. Ascrriaiali.E ;hat certain col
lccorq rad been sued, we caused the
records Of t:!- Cicclit court to be exam
ined. and there we '.'nnd Tia. in uum-
ber of !Ae cases, (as na';;' eight, we
belieye,) the commissioner had entered
a noa. pros. Such IN entry in sach
cases must signify and d2c5 signify that
nothing was due the county. The COM
miSsionrrs paid, out Of the coun,y's
! pocket, all the costs, even the fees Of tie
counsel for the collectors. We knew if
those collectors did owe The county there
| was no law to enable The commissioner,
to make those entries and pay those
costs. And what '.journali,t" u}on co.
ing 10 the proper Record and finding
such entries, would not be comIeIIvd TO
say that the parties Did not ore the coun-
ty SO says the face Of the Record of
the Court. Aud il they did owe tie
county, then the commissioners caused
an unlawful and iying record to be made
calculated 10 deceive 'jonrnalist" and
all others. And II they did owe, then
the paying Of the costs was an ILL gal
use Of the peoples money, and adds an.
other case TO the long list of wanton
squandcrings Of the public funds. Such
then was the conciH>i.e nature Of the
evidence upon which we rested, vixen
We gaiH The collectors '.did not. in feet,
owe the county," In regard to this Sue
ing business We have more 10 say When
the proper time comes.
AS regards the case Of Mr.. Hyland.
we find upon examining the hooAs Of
! the commissioners, HOW in our posses
SION, that they did cause the record to
lie in his case. He did owe and paid
over S;!3,3l, Tor which he was sued when
bur eight months Of his second year had
passed. 1t was on thr authority OF MIR.
II. that we stated tha county had to pay
him balance. Such was his impression
Tor so he told us ana others. The record
OF the circuit court shows he did TO!
owe, bat the ledger OF the commission-
ers shows he owco jwo dollars and tlr.
ty-lour cents. for which piliiul sum l.r
was sued in such hot haste, at the ey.
pense Of the people.
About tie railroad taxes, Mr.. d. Scott
has =. "nothng to say" About some
things ''the least said is soonest mend.
ed" Our opinions on that subject, and
the foundations for them, hive been
previously given, to Er taken for what
they are worth. We hope for the in.
tcrrst Of tie tax. PAYERS Of the county
they may never be tested al law.
We now come TO that part OF Mr.. d.
SCOTS article relative to lis own nav
for lhe last year. On that he Was .lonG'
