HERALD OFFICE, OCT. Is, sc.
Since our last issue we find we have been led
into an error in the above article. 1t occurred at
the Treasurers Office, and by the Deputy Treasur-
er mistaking the question Gsked by the gentleman
who called for us, to ascert" .no facts We de-
sired to know the amount of scrip accepted from
2nd of June last to October lst, and the deputy
understood the question to refer to the 2nd June,
1853. and SO responded with the information.
We charged them with accepting s7G502, and
credit them with paying out and cash on hand
see l4O 65, between the 2nd June last and lst of
October, inst, when it should be from June 2nd
1853.
The correction of thiserror. makes decrease
debtedness some.-yct. not enough to reduce it
principal. interest and outstanding liabiIity-he-
low ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
on the lst day of October 1856
In point of fact it makes difference to the
people when this debt accrued whether in four or
sixteen months. they have it to pay.
With the corrections, we make our debt on the
lst inst as follows:
Amount of county debt, az published by Super
viors, May 10, 1855. 60524 81
Amount Of scrip issued per Audi
tors books, from June 2, 1855, to Oct.
/, 1856, H. 7366 81
Interest for ten months, 1901 20
Special Fund debt, 1855 AZ

We have stated that we believed the
unaudted debt to be 2OOOO let us call
it the amount of $4,000
Total, iG7 705 73
From which deduct the credit Of &c, l40 63
Making 10l 565 10
as the total debt on the st Of October, 1856. So
much for The PERFORMERS"
On the 27th of September we stated in
columns that our County debt was upwards of
500, ,0G0 and the figures bear out in asser-
ton.
There is also another matter to which we would
allude In our article above set down the old
debt of the county up to June I'd, 1858, when the
democrats came into power, at | 1885. to this
should he added 1890 more, decided by Judge
Howell to be due the County Judge on his salary
for 1851 and So and up to June s53. Now, this
amount should be credited upon the democratic
debt which would then be 1876 10.
Since we commenced on County Finances we
have fairly scared the know-nothings out of their
boots, and we have noticed quite buzzng in the
hive In order to make the debt appear as small
as possible in the issue of the Press Of the 18th
of Octebee, they have been rushing the county
funds into the treasury,-all they could get taeir
haiids on.
