Why did you change your terms in The charge Of
fraud, from "tax duplicate to " list" aud finally
to delinquent list"l DO you wish 10 be under
stood as saying, that tax duplicate, and the de-
linquent list is one and the same thing
A tax duplicate, as you are probably aware, con
tains the names of the of oil lands and town
lots in the county, including minute description Of
the same, together with the valuation thereof, and
the amount of the various taxes charged thereon,
10 each and every parcel of realty.
Il also includes the personal property ot the
county, with tax etc, same, charged to the var
ious owners thereof
The delinquent list is only very small part Of
the duplicate and consists Of that portion Of same,
on which the taxes Of previous years remain un-
paid.
crom the specific language in the sixth sentence,
the reader is orced 10 the conclusion, that you
mean to say that the fraud is in the publication OF
the delinquent list Of 1859. Below you will find 9

County Commissioners.
This S3092 25, as stated before, contains the said
SlS ,65, and in thcso accounts, and all others #
like kind the Auditor has nothing, whatever TO do
in nllowing auditing thnnn
His only duty. is u iasu, the or Ter for same
when allowed BY the county Commissioners, as
done in this case.
And while you, and every reader Of the Journal
can see that this explanation, relieves me from all
p ssibe mputation of guilt in the matter wish to
ad a word in behalf of the county Commissioners
as t1ey by substitution, would be held guilty OF the
startling fraud" allu led to in your article, and
there charged on me.
The proper evidence was presented to them, that
the said Abstract was published six weeks, as re-
quirel by law, as a less number OF insertions
would be worthless.
1t was printed four weeks in the regular issue
and two weeks in a supplement- after the delinquent
list was handed in for publication, there was not
room for both in the paper at the same time
The supplement numbers were probably not
bound, in the file you examined, which accounts tol
yeur being mistaken in the number of insertions.
The price paid was the same as allowed for legal
advertising They undoubtedly believed that il
contained the l03 squares and you admit, that ac.
cording to your rule it measured lO2 squares, Sc
that the one square variation in measurement, can
not be regarded, very grave error, on the part
of the Commissioners, should it prove to be l02
instead Of lO3 squares, as you claim il is.
The County Auditor is empowered to issue or
dcrs for fees where the price is fixed by the stat
ute but in all cases where the price is not speci
ed by law, as is the case in the printing OF the alb
stract etc, ii must said before, be allowed by
county Commissioners or some other power named,
such as the Court Of Common Pleas. as is the case
in regard to some class OF accounts, and the audi
tor is merely the agent in issuing the evidence of
indebtedness allowed by others.
Hoping that will, in future, be spared the IN
pleasant task, of replying to public personal
charge of g fraud :" and believing also that the
rejecting sensible portion of the community, are
fully and heartily, dsgusted with the bitter, per-
sonal, eliminating cpithots. and bunaying iuvec-
tives. allowed and INDUCED in, BY both the jour
