COUNTY ORpERs, AND SCHOOL Dis
rEIcr ORpERs-We have in our possession, two
email printed clips Of paper, purportng to
order the Treasurer of District City Of
Davenport" to pay US out of the "School House
Fund" . small sum Of money. II 10 signed by
~. r. johnson, Secy." and "a. S. Maxwell
Pres't." and has written across its face, "Prs.
sented March Let, 1859. Geo. II. French,
Treas'r." We have had them in our pocket
quite long time, thinking they would do to
pay school taxes with, or that We might sell
them at small shave to some broker Alas
for the ds.usiveness Of human hopes, and the
folly Of putting confidence in the signatures Of
officialsl We offered them TO q broker the
other day, and wers informed that they were
worth nosh;ng, not the paper that they were
printed on. They are not even ..geod to pay
taxes With. So We have received for our work
done. and labor p rformsd, just nothing. and
have been made the victims of mi splacsd con.
fdence. What has become of the School
House Fund" heaven only knows. What has
become Of the sums borrowed to pay the
indebtedness of this School District, and bor>
rowed. too, ct large interest. the preferred
creditors Of the District. Who speculsted in
School orders, and got them paid, best know
1t certainly is pretty state of affair,, when
School District repudiates it swn paper.
AZ for County orders, they are worth but
seventy cents on the dollar, and very soon. We
imagine, they will be worth nothing. Now
that is the reason 10 Cedar county, they
are worth County orders) ninety and ninety
FIVE cents in Muscatine nearly the same, and
yet here, in the rich county of Scott, with
comparatively little indebtedness. the creditor
of the county has to submit to a shave Of
thirty per cent; and the people Of the county
are asking Why is this. and Why 60 much gold
and silver is demanded of them when they 20
to the Court House to pay their taxsa
Now these things are matters Of grave and
serious consideration, and it il fitting that the
people Of the county sheuld inquire into them
and discover Why it is they have to submit te
20 heavy . shave on County orders.
The fact is. it is becoming rather expensi, @
