PROVED mos conclasiysly. thai 10 . Totally

I'LL thst station The REQ rls OF tbs county
prove, what almost every one that Transacted
business in hisof6cs during his atministra-
ton will q Init. that be is gsossly isaosAatof
the powers and duties pertaining . the Of
6ce, a d that he was culpably ns1lisent and
dsreict in the performance Of What 10 did
understand In the nattsr of hssgkiiemsas'
Of estates Of dscedents and waras, there is
scarcely case rec ,yded uad. his admins
trasion to show that he performed or enforc-
OIL the plainest requirements OF the Jaw; ON
the contrary ths loose manner in which ev-
eything VAS Goae by him, aud under his no
tice, defes every effort to trace up the pro-
ceedings, or ascertain what was ,.on-. The
records are imperf ct an inc ,milsse. May
important proceedings not noted, or il at all,
on some pocket memoran ium book, or slip
of paper. and generally the papers and
books were in the most insxrlcable confu-
sion
1t will be said that these are serious charg
es. Il is true they are, bat they are not a
~ht too stroaslt drawn. They are true IN
ssery particular, and the people OF this eoun-
ty need DO thing more than to make q per-
soaal examination of the records, to prove
IT,. Let the people examine; Let them have
Light, they ara the interested party, and it is
due - themselves skat they should examine
the matter.
Now, Is there anything in the performance
Of any 9th, r part ot his duties that should
entisle judy Street to q re- election? Will
his friends tell us what he lid in the man
sgsn,ens nj the peoples mon y, TO enstle
himself TO the gratitud of he people?
NAY If they would tell us any thing at ell
about the financial condition OF the county
whe tnhe retired from the office. they would
be dung more than Judge Street designed to
do, although that is daty expressly required
OF him by law.
The people now hhas be sq,sndersd hund
fcus ofuoIiars IN bu,,afuys IA ;sht-h tan cot
tonvood box, which he dignined by tho name
of Sail The people are not Likely TO for
aut. either, that Jad o Streets law partn ,
Turlsy, was the contractor who built tina;
beautiful edi6ce, ard to whom Street pail
money as the building was worth. The peo-
pie will be likely TO remembsr, as they sho'd
DO, that it was under ia &c Streets admin
istraton that the county was crushed under
o wei ghs Of debt that sent her orders around
the streets begging, at fifty cents on the
dollar.
BY the prudence and economy OF judges
Hall and Larimcr, coauty Orders have APP
preciated a. lin to about = cents on the dol
Lar, and should the same policy be pursued
for twelve months longer, We may reas o7a-
bis hope 20 zee them attain their par value.
But if Judge Stree: is re elscte |, jnd eng
from his pas. conduct, ws my expect to see
county orders reduced 10 he value Of Is cts
on he dollar ii not lower.
The lower they are the better it suits .
Judge IIs is good spscalsss- when he
pays iuymln or laborer Is or so cents on
the dollar foI couuy order, he knows ex
ac;ly how TO gst what its facs calls for in
dollars and cents and il requires but little
mental exertion TO c,lcu'ats how muoh he
has made by the operation.
It Is TO be hoped that the honest jurmsn
and labores, who have been Dom leIled to
take half The am ount that was their honsst
due, will also rseolect how much they have
lost, and by whose misconduct ano misman-
sgement they lost it. 81.
No. Mr.. Editor. Frank Street Is not At to
be County Jadg. Of this county. AMI no one
should KNOW it bs.rsr than himself The
people told him most smphatioaliy last Al
gust, that they knew it. They have not
for often it. They know it now. They
know th.t 10 give him the control OF this
swamp ianl fund and other revenues OF the
county, would enrich HIN but ''ls ave tn IN
poor i'.desd."
