to do so.
We were asked to account for certain
monies. levied for the bridge nj Gilpin's
Ford. We answer that all monies re-
ceived by us from any and eve. y source
were accounted for 10 the Order Of the
Commissioners, as the books of their
office will show. The papers are all
thrre-our receipts TO collectors are
there fled and our account is upon the
Ledger. And if there is anv thing wrong
our good aud sutlicient' bond Is to be
found in the Office Of the Clerk of the
Circuit court. But no citizen Of this
county, however much our enemy, be-
leves we have not accounted properly
for every copper ever in our possession.
The fact that the locofoco board, now
about to be superseded by wings, never
questioned the matter, is sufficient re-
iuta;ion of the insinuaion.
Then, as regards sharing with the
county money. We never used cent
of such money for such purpose, indeed
we seldom had much in our possession,
and we believe the books will show that
there were times when we paid orders
to greater amounts than we had public
money in hand; so tn at the county was
actually in debt to us for cash advanced.
But let the "Enguirer" in question,
and all others 60 to the books.
We have already SAID that the $1l7.-
10, stated to have been paid to us out
of the railroad money, had been due
since 1851; it had not been collected and
paid to us, as we now remember be-
ca use the commissioners had allowed
the collector further time on part Of his
, collections. 1t was certain TO come to
US out of money levied; ought to have
so come to us, and we believed go did
come, until the extra statement of the
clerk; and we should not wonder if it
had been, in so'ne sort, forced into that
statement for effect. At any rate, in
getting it we dld but get what had been
long due.
There is something, also, in the paper
referred to, by certain "NindeX,"
about holding up he editor of this paper
''to scorn and Indignation" A far as
the signs show, the scorn and indlSna-
ton Of the people is all the other way.
And that fellow "Tinden" has proved
himself such a "niuny" that we venture
he would not ackno Wedge the paterni-
ty-of his articles over his proper name,
for twice the sum any one would be
willing to give.
1t appears, however, that some
thing in reply to what we have publish
ed, is to be authorI'atively printed. So
it may belAl us to fight the battle over;
in which event, we have no fears for the
result.
