The Journal.

The JOURNAL is now the only Taper in
Pirece Co., and we bespeak for it liberal
support. The business of the county is suffi-
cient to give one paper good paying patron
age, and enable the publisher to put out q
paper which shall be credit to the place, and
apOwer in contributing to the prosperity Of
this section Of country.
A paper published in any place should be
full and fair index of the business of the place
Every branch of business which is being car
ried on, should be advertised in its columns
1t is for the inteies of the business man to
advertise-it is for the interest of the place III
which he lives and what is very importan
10 us, it is for the interest of the publisher.
We like Pierce County-its fertile fields
its magnificent forests-its sparkling streams
its men and women, boys and girls, We
do not expect TO agree with all our readers, on
questions politics or local policy, but We do
expect to advocate our opinions with candor,
and be courteous to all.
We mean to make the JOURNAL, as far as
possible, complete mirror of whatever there
is of public interest in Pierce County. With
this determination, we go in and shall endeav.
or TO hold onr size.

County Commissioners.

In another column will be found letter
from the Atty. Gen. giving his reasons for the
opinion that the commissioners will De elected
by the county at large.
We have been frequently by asked, chow are
the Commissioners going to be nominated?"-
1t is not probable that either of the County
Committees will call convention for this pur-
pose. 1t is proposed by some that they be
nominated by tie Peoples Convention to be
held at TrimbclIe next Saturday. If there is
no objection to this course it might be adop-
ted, though such action is not provided for in
the call.
The issue, as every one knows, will not be
political. but local. The question will be
whether the County building is to be put up
next season, or not. Of course, there are other
matters of interest, but we apprehend that the
election will be shaped on this issue.
Our own opinion is that candidates had bet
ter announce themselves rs such, or let their
friends call them out. and then the people
will support whom they please.
At all events let US try and elect three men
who believe in raising funds to pay our liza
bilities, however large, and who will not let
County orders run down 10 thsir present low
figure.

hold Union County Convention, for
the nomination of candidate for Coun-
ty Superintendent, and to elect delegates

recollect that the matter was fully dis
cussed, and the Importance of the Su-
perintendent's Office much dwclt upon
aud that q petition for holding such a
convention, with the clause above refer
red to inserted, was unanimously signed.
MANY of your readers are DESTROYS OF
knowing why said clanse was suppressed
in the call, thereby defeating that portion
of the business of the convention deem
ed most important by those who singned
said call. No one is accused of inten-
tional wrong in this matter.

County Supervisors.

We have received the following in an
swer to a letter directed 10 the Attorney
General.
Dear Sir:-Your favor was duly, re-
ceived, You inquire whether in my
opinion the Board Of Supervisors to
be elected in November next, under the
provisions of chapter 1919 of the General
Laws of 1861, are to be elected by the
county at large or by single districts.
l answer, by the county TT large. This
Board is q County Board. and its mem
bers are county officers. In the absence
of any express direction in the Statute
to the contrary, the electors of the whole
county would participate in the election
of these county officers in the same man
ner as they do in the election ofa Regis
ter or Sheriff.
There is no direction i'll the Statute for
any election by districts, on the contrary,
the Statute provides that, "Such Super
visors shall be elected in all of the organ
lied counties, and that votes cast FOR such
Supervisors shall be canvassed in the
same manner as the votes cast for other
county officers"
The object sought to be attained by d.
yiding counties into districts is evident
from the language Of section 2 of the act.
1t was to prevent in those counties, in
which majority of the electors reside in
q single town or city, concentration of
oil the Board IN such town or city
But whatever doubts might exist as to
the proper construction of the first and
second sections Of the act, they must be
removed by section 5. This provides
that whenever there shall be a vacancy
in the Board of County Supervisors, the
Clerk of tho Board shall notify the
Sheriff thereof, and makes it his duty to
ordernn election for the purpose of sup
plying the vacancy, and directs that a
notice thereof shall be posted Gin each
town in the county"
1.-THE election WAS to be held only in
districts, the notices would onl require
publication or posting in each town In
the districts.
think tllissrcnders the intention OF
tn Legislature too evident to require adj
ditional illustrations.
Yours truly, JAMES IL. HOWE.
Attorney General.
