LOCAL MATTERS.


on us Yesterday, and requested us to taks back
the intimation conveyed in paragraph in our
last of "bribery and corruption" in the publi-
cation of Sheriff's sales, and give the facts.
We are perfectly willing to give the facts, and
leave the public to judge as to the terms by
which the transaction should be designated.
As ne understand it, the Sheriff made con-
tract with the Transcript to publish all the
sales in that paper, for certain percentage of
the amount paid for advertising, or else is to
have stipulated sum for each sale published.
The Sheriff considers this fair business trans
action, but we do not think outsiders will so
regard it. In speaking of "bribery and corrup-
tion" in our last, we had no intention of desig-
mating this transaction as such, and therefore
take back any intimation of the kind that may
have been gathered from the words used. 1t
would probably come under that clause of the
statute relating to extortion in Office. A SINH
lar proposition was. once made to former
Sheriff of this county, which he refused to en-
tertain, regarding it as equivalent to bribery.

Hunt paying him between $500 and 800 for
his services. That night he got to drinking in
saloon kept by Armstrong, on Broad street,
and was badly beaten about the head by some
Of his drunken companions. He left the next
morning for Marysville, having just enough
money to pay his passage. After he got there,
it seems he went into the hospital, where he
died.

the muzzle of another pistol, when he thought

taxes took place on Saturday. Quite number
