Town Reports.

Mn EDITOR 1T is now the custom of
the towns in this region, and hope through
out the State to order the printing and cir
culation of the Auditors Report among the
people previous to the annual town meeting.
This conceive is an important improvement
upon the former custom of merely reading
hastily the report, without giving the peo-
pie an opportunity for committeeman it
is in perfect keeping with the spirit Of our
Institutions or government. There is a
culpable remissness on the part Of the PEG,
pie in scrutinizing the conduct of their
agents or of calling their stewards to "give
an account of their stewardship" and thus
the agent loses sight of bis accountability
and becomes careless and negligent in the
performance of the duties assigned him by
the people. May we not attribute the waste
of millions in Congress, of thousands in
States, and hundreds in towns TO this cause.
If the people should exercise their proper
sovereignty by keeping vigilant watch
over their servan. or agents. and in calling
them to a strict account for the manner in
which they discharge their various trusts,
we might be saved not only from the loss Of
immense treasures that are squandcred, but
from that odium which attaches to those
scenes which would disgrace a race course
or bull-fght 1t is a favorable omen that
toaons are scrutiuizing the conduct of their
servants. trust in Heaven that it will be
extended to the State and National legisla-
lures until every faithless servant shall be
rebuked aud removed. The people are the
constituted guardians of the public welfare
If they sleep at their posts who shall keep
the temple. AN OLD FARMER.
