More New Berlin Figuring.

"a ZION county
More New Berlin Figuring.
The impositious by figures Of the New
Berlin press before the Election, we ex-
posed at the time, and supposed that hav-
ing been defeated they would cease such
efforts to mislead and deceive an honest
community. But the propensity seems to
he innate. and this weeks Times has
characteristic medley of facts and false
hoods, designed for effect hereafter, which
we thiuk it may be well to notice. The
Times says,
WHOLE COSTS oF TIE DIVISION QTEsTIoN.'n
cii"g >prtr3 Eio;'nG; ler Bokf IA. t0ln",.',na,rs rs
s1oe d.. s'"'---
Including Spring Ei.ction.' Now
the Times knows, as well as it knows how
10 lie, that tae aspiring Election" costs
lid no more 10 do with Division than 1t
had with Spirit Eappings. The Spring
Election would have been held and cost
just as much had there been no election
for Division. The COS. of last years Spring
Election was s355-almost half the above
sum
The Times next gives the cost Of adver-
Using the Election Proclamation, and the
Division Act. 1t will be remembered that
the New Berlin editors never would pub
lish the Division Law truiy, until they
were allowed pay for it from the coun-
ty Treasury! The people desired to read
the law, each in their own paper, that they
might judge correctly. The .your New
Berlin presses, the one Lewisburg, and the
one Sellnsgrove paper, published it, and
Handbilis were issued containing the
same. The bills Of Ettinger & Quick,
Merrill & Smith, A. J. Peters, and John
Baum's Co. of New Berlin, Worden &
Cornelius of Lewisburg, and [. Gutelius Of
Selinsa grove, for extra work and labor done
We suppose amount to s235'oo
Bill of James Madden and
others, Commissioners Cor run
ming the County Line 2ll,5o
Bill Of l. Gutelius for pub
fishing the lengthy subscriptions
and Guar antees &c, for county
sites at Middle burg, Freeburg,
Selnsgrove, ,Lewisburg and Milf. 1900
inburg.
Bill Of Worleu & Cornelius for
same I3,oo
Total cost to Treasury S594,OO
The above are all the costs we are aware
of for the Division proper.
But the Times attempts to smuggle in
the costs Of the last Court into the Dlyis-
ion pile The truth is, that Court is no
more justly chargeable to Division, than
tho Repudiation Meating .or tho same New
Berliners' prosecutions of Eyer and Gundy;
all we're New Berlin speculations, to graf
ify the designs Of that ambitious little
town.
The Times particularizes those of selins-
grove and Lewisburg, without any refer
ence by name to the New Berlin printers
and because in this case We happened to
do more work than they, makes great
parade Of the matter The New Berliners
are so accustomed to the "iion's share
of everything, that they are envious of
little luck on the part Of brother Typos.
This j. useless, (for the tide is turned,)
and ungcnerous to boot; besides, it is not
to be supposed that the New Berliners
could be induced to publish permission
for county seat with their beloved New
Berlin not included!
Says tie Times, 80. n. Wordcn fled
bill for publishing Bonds for making Lew
isburg and Selinsgrove candidates for
County Seats" 60. N. W. fled no such
bill. Horden d: Cornelius have bill,
ordered by Court to be paid, for advcrtiz-
ing, according to law, Bonds making
Mt'inJuy, M;ddle5ur9, FresJHry, Selins-
grove and Lewisburg, candidates, &c)
Two falsehcois in one sentence-lst, in
representing a bill as an indisiduaI and
not as company concern I'd, in repre-
senting those expenses Of publishing
Bonds as for Lewisburs and Selinsgrose
only.
hC What the cost Of the New Berlin
Hard Swearers Court will be, we suppose
the next County Statement will show.
We hear them estimated at from 5000 to
$1,000. They are as follows:
Adveriizing the Court $4,000
Subp9naing 500 or 400 witnesses
