There was an election in the above town.
ship on the filth Of July last, tho same Gay
Of town meeting held in each :own OF the
county, and the full number Of town officers
elected, which continued in operation until
October thereafter, when the Chairman and
Clerk Of the Town Supervisors lot tho
town, and T. Fasterly, = Justice Of the
Peace, elected on tho 9Th Of July; and by
virtue Of his office member Of the Ap.
pointing Board, md the only one remain.
ing in the town, appointed Town Clerk, in
the place Of the person who had removed,
and the new Clerk and the Justice then ap.
pointed Chairman. .-,. '..... "a. +.
Afterwards resident Of that town filed
an affidavit with the County Board, to tho
effect that there was no town organization
in Belvidere, and the County Board there
upon appointed full Set Of town officers.
The law provides that in case town Of:
flee or offices become vacant, by the death
resignation or removal from the township o
the person or persons filling them, the ap.
pointing Board Of the town, or those re.
naming Of that. shall, under their hand:
and seals. I'LL the vacancies. r-o@ 4r-5

was ~ election in the township, that the
County Supervisors shall appoint set o
officers. '.",. --- -...5' - ~.
Now it is clear there having been an cleo.
ton. that the action Of the County Board o.
Supervisors was illegal and void, while thai

men # the Town Boards present their Gre
dentials to the County Board at its session
this week. The Board decided in favor Of
the person., Mr.. Mitchell, elected at the
meeting called BY tho Town Clerk appoint.

ion Of the County Attorney that that was
the proper course. 49,, ;.
With all due Difference to such an erni.
nent legal authority As Mr.. Gurneo,, VIC are
obliged to differ from. his opinion in this in.
stance. We think it is clear that Mr.
Mitchell was not legally elected, and tina,
none Of the other officials Of the town elect.
ed at the same meeting are legally town Of:
ficers, and that cons eqpently, no. taxes can
be collected, and no process issued BY Jus
tice or served by a constable, elected at tina,
meetins). can be legal orof any force what
ever, and that the town Of Belvidere, until
the :" Easterly" organization is kept up, will
have and can have no town officers what.
ever . state Of affairs that will prove worse
for the County than it will for the town. - =
We think the Board in this case acted
hastily, and were i)l-advised ;; as they will
themselves see, about the time the tax roll
is returned 'uncolIeclci, from Belvidere, and
a competent authority convinces them tina,
it cannot he collected t.77f1 @fdj -ennn
