The Board have endeavored to reduce the
expenses of the county to the Lowest notch.
and deserve we'll for what they have already
done. The county was feared to be under
the control Of a clique, that had combined
TO- live and grow fat upon;i its treasury. But
they carried it with little too strong hand
and they found that a great portion even Of
their, own party repuliated their course
The report upon the alleged inalfasanco Of
the Register and Auditor, is very iexcellen,
and able document, and although it. does
not itself explain the nature Of the frauds
enough can be seen BY it, to show that the
facts we have published in relation to them
were correct, and that the Committee took
the same view Of them, and Of the law. o
