Correspondence Of the Democrat.
COLoMA, Nov. "a, 1857

CoLoNA, Nov. "a, 1867.
MEsSRs. EDITuRs: notice in the issues
ofthc MouNTAIN DENocRAT Of November
7th, and 14th, that you handle with un-
gloved hands not only our dciaulting Co,
Treasurer, Mr.. Reed, but also promise an
expose of those concerned with him in the
trifing transactions; those who abctted,
counsclcd, and covered up (as long rs
possible) the act, and whom 1t was not
unreasonable to believe shared with Mr..
Reed in the proceeds of the transaction to
a greater or less extent, as their several
aids were serviccable to The Originators.
Let the exposure take place be the consc-
quenccS. what they may so that our COM
munity may be enlightened with regard
to the conduct Of our officials, whether
retired ones, our present incumbcntS, or
those in prospective. Should such cX-
posure- -llnnaSk cx-ASSomblymOn, or pros
pcctive Governors, would-be political lead
crS, cX- Supervisors or County Auditors,
still say, and the masses echo the saying
in tones not to be misunderstood, let it
come "FIdt jwstitid, ruat coelum.
1t is truly gratifying to an honest COM
munity that We have n journal in our
midst that will not wink at crime or at
tempt to screen the criminal, but OH the
other hand is ever ready and willing to
hunt down an offender, and show him up
in his true light, that he may be apprc-
ciatcd for his true moral worth and no
more. The MOUNTAIN DEMOCRAT has
never yet shrank from any responsibility,
and l hope it never will. 1t is a matter
Of inquiry, and | mention it more for
the purpose of eliciting information than
for accusing the late Auditor, how the
late dctalcation could ever have occurred
without some understanding between the
Treasurer and Auditor. ], for one, have
always entertained the opinion that the
Auditors office was check upon the
Treasurer, that nothing could get into the
Treasury or OWt et It, without the knowl-
edge and consent of the AUDITORIUM 9TH
er words, that the Auditor ought to know
Just how much money there was.in the
Treasury belonging to the different funds,
If am right in this conjecture, how
much of ccnSure is due to the late County
Auditor What hand had he in the trans
action What was the probable amount
of his share of the proceeds arising from
the dcfalcationy Please speak out-"give
us light" in regard to this dark and dis
graceful business, and receive the thanks
of grateful community.
Yours, truly, INQUIRER.
