The Republic Fair Again.

rcrrs Of the Is, Scpio Soldiers Md So
rio,y, and, as they have never Published
heir r'port Of the grand "rcplenishing"
,r"tIeii Treasury fund by mears ofthc
Republic Sanitary Fair, held in this
place IL Fcbrrnry last, and us they cali
I'd 10 Aid, 4 seventh rate pettiloggers
tn cover up with low slang, that which
every true lady would desire to make
plain; and us there was an effort made by
them, on the night named IN their COM
nunicaiirn, to make It appear that near
ly all the articles donated by the good
people OF this community, were thrown
into the grab box, or drawn in bet lot !
cly, there by endcayoring to make the
people believe that their Iabors Of love
were lost, Cusl sc,) aud that their articles
did not bring moro than five ccn,sj while
II /, well known by Every one who attended
the fair, that there wus no such Thing as
3 cent lottery drawn during tie fair, and
Il there had huvc been, !, is well known
that every article disposed uf hy ls,tcry
during the ioir. brought iis full value,
aud as appears in their several statements
that there is lurgc d loicncy in their
account, "tnkc this method Of ans
wcriug their communication" and give
a synop, is Of their several reports aud
statements. aud leave the world tu Judge
whether Ira Reynolds und others, have
'sought by sundry misrepresentation, to-
establish the infamous ISLANDERS" or
whether hv their own acts they have not
established that of which they speak.
will now say that in their fist report
by Mr.. Bromley. they make on, the gross
receipts at $4,000, aud the gross cxpcn-
diiur's (w,th some loss, } at $4,000,
which leaves balance of Sll. nctt cish
proceeds ,uud at u subs quGnt meeting
the qn stiOn was put several times by
Mr.. u. ID. Ogden, to know whether the
| SOL 90 wns the nett cash proceeds olthc
| Fair. exclusive of the stand donated by
Ira Reynolds, which being answered
each time in the affirmative, we take it
Tor granted that they had that amount OF
cash in their hands, aud shall proceed on
that basi., believing that Ladies ought
not, aud will not, make false state
mculs in public meeting.
Now il will he remembered that in
their report they make out thut there
was $4,000 worth of goods lett over, und
rcmnincd unsold, but fail to show that
they had charged the goods in the SIl0,-
90 gross receipts. While the $4,000
covered the entire gross expenditures.
Now il will readily be seen, that had they
have sold the $4,000 worth OF goods for
cash their gross receipts would have
been $i300 and left nett cash gain Of
l$lll,O0, hut us they did not sell the
goods, they appear to claim that the goods
belong To them, ard turn them over 10
the Sueirty, or virtually sell them hack
to themselves for $4,000 cash, which
they take from the S9l 90 aud leave the
nett cash proceeds, only $7l,oo.
II will now be seen that wc ought 10
have S0l,00 cash, aud $1,000 worth of
goods belonging TO the society. But as
they have taken $4,000 from the $9l 90
il leaves but $7i,00 cash, and $4,000
worth of goods. Or in other words the
Society osc $4,000 in the transaction,
cor II they had taken $4,000 from the
S9l 90 and went Gu, aud bought sac 90
worth more &C goods, we would thcr
have had $4,000 worth oi goods nnd
S7i 90 cash, making the ngtt gain $lll,'
90 as before.
We will now take a look at the change
of the programme, when they introduced
into their report the $4,000 borrowed
! from the Aid Society, which they iailet
TO charge themselves with in their frs
, and second reports, but did not Gail 4
bring IN the vouchers for the goods pur
chased with the S25,O and which wer,
included in the $4,000 gross eSpendi
tur =, hut as there was some enquiry &
, know what had become ot the $4,000
their seveulh'ra,c peiuiogger, told then
: Gas he said) they must MAKE showing o
the $4,000 so they added $4,000 /
their gross receipts, and $500 to thei
gross expenditures, which makes thei
: gross receipts SAS5 90, and their gross eS
d pendiIuoi SS4l,0O. SAoIejr9 a fpe ba
: sEse sheet, aud suppose their pettlioS
tger thought, as il did not change tho r,
suit by adding TO both sides, It would b
9 a good way To satisfy the people, But
/, will be rceollected that they had alresd
s given themselves credit in the voucher
u contained in the $4,000 gross eNpend
lures, and by this transaction il will /
seen that they credited themselves twie
:. and charge themselves but osee, bcsid,
q their poitilogger didno, perhaps. thin
o. how Il would look at this late day,
u own that their gross receipts were StS5
), 80, Instead OF S4lO,o0. AS per the
!. frst and second reports, and to me il
Is conclusive evidence lhst they did n,
e know what their gross receipts were (
- that they did not iuteRd TO report then
But to make tho matter still palmer, "
a. will suppose tha, conclude TO 20 int
i, a speculation and borrow $4,000 iroI
