For The Cecil Wig.
Your Honey! Stand and DeIiver!

IoG-PdyeTS OF CecH! are You aware
that you will be required by the State
to put yoar haads ia your pockets and
pay to the Treasury Of the State the
thousands which the County Commits
sioncrs squandcred in Gifts to the rail-
road company and to other pets and
iavorites. Such you will find, to YOUR
cost, to be the fact.
Ofthr Whole taxes due from the rail-
road about one third belonged to the
State. There is no law authorizing
such throwing away of public money
as has been perpetrated. On The con-
trary there is special law requiring the
payment Of IKE arhoie Of the taxes due
by the r. r. Company. Contrary then,
TO all law, the county commissioners
have taken as payment IN full, a sum,
some eight or ten Mousaad dollars less
than the amount due; which sum, so
taken, for all the people OF the county
can learn from the published statement,
has been idly squandered, and a large
amount Of which is publicly stated to
have been idly sqnaudercd; and no part
OF the sum received, SO far as the writer
can ascertain, has been paid to the State
The three M0Usand anR three hundrcd
doffarS gwen to counsel, simply for say
ing we will gre you eight or twelve
thousand, II You pay us twelve thousand,
will hive to be TX or.ed from the tax
payers OF the coupty; besides other ad-
dl'Ional thousands, to make up the States
sl.a;e.
So, taxpayers of Cecil! ground to
the earth with taxes row, prepare for an
extra burden, to make up for the lavish
waste OF public money without author
ity Of law. Set apart your tenth COW,
your tenth sheep, your tenth shock in
the field, to pay for the thousands of the
public monry-yo"r mon'y-sqUander-
ed and grabbed; without your even hav-
ing the privilege of seeing a statement
showing how it disappeared.
Say Is not such doings sufficient,
well nigh, to cause a civil revolt; much
less, is it not sufficient to produce such
voting revolt as will drive from the
custody Of III" public funds those thus
even if b!indfuIIy so -ncgligent of
them, as well as to keep them ont of the
custody of those who would be subject,
at all, TO the Influences which leal TO
such state Of affairs \ TAXPAYER.
