and 8hould give him credit for
employing such competent assist
ance.
In addition to his unquestionabIe
competency to discharge the duties
Of the Office, and his universal gen.
tIemanly and courteous demeanor,
Mr.. McCandless has claim upon
the people Of our county, that sho' d
be honorably recognized by every
true patriot, for when the monster
rebellion reared its power against
the Government and threatened its
destruction, he was not slOwtO find
his way into our Union army, and
to march to the field Of battle where
he was not found incompetent to
serve his country on the field Of
bloody strife, until stricken down
by a bullet from the arms Of our
rebel foes, receiving a wound which
has made him cripple for life; al
though it renders him incompetent
to perform outdoor manual labor
it has not impaired his abilities to
discharge, faithfully and correctly,
the duties pertaining to the County
Auditors office. And wIrile this is
true, l feel confident that, however
much the people may appreciate the
services and competency Of other
aspirants for this official position,
there is a willingness and an I'M
finching determination among the
true patriots of Fayette county, to
reward, as far as lies within their
power, a gallant, wounded soldier,
for the personal sacrifice he has
made for them, and the cause of our
common country, not merely as an
act Of sympathy, but through the
great ruling principle in a generous
people, that it is right-thatitis is due
the soldier. JUSTICE.

Ed. HERALD: Several exceptions
were taken to the apportionmcnt Of
the taxes on the jamestown, Jehcr
sonyille, Chillicothe and Prairie
roads Petitions were presented
numcrously signed, from the tax
payers on the jamestown and JEFF
fersonyille roads, asking for an
equalization Of the tax on Washing
ton, in proportion to the country,
the tax on Washington being lif-
ty cents on the hundred dollars val
Uation, as it stands for taxation !;
that on the farms and smaller towns
in the county being SS to 50 on the
hundred valuation, as they stand for
taxation. One Of the Commission
ers (Dr. VIM. II. Jones, proposed
that at least $l.50 per hundred val
uation should be placed on Wash
ington for each road terminating at
the corporation, but the majority Ct
the board decided against it, and
left the tax on Washington at fifty
cents on the hundred, and the tax
on Jacksonville 50 on the hundred,
Dr. Jones dissenting. The petitions
also asked that the tax on the lands
in the ring, or Immediately around
Washington should be increased to
Il reasonable proportion with the
lands in the country - the tax for
the Chillicothea and jamestown roads
being thirty cents per acre, and for
the Jacksonville road forty cents
per acre, on about 1900 acres; but
the majority of the board declined
to interfere, and the tax on the ring
was left undisturbed, being about
Sl.90 per acre for six roads, while
the lands joining ON the Chillicothe
road are taxed So per acre for that
road only; with the exception of
the land of jerome Drais, which
lies at an average distance Of one
mile from the road, and in one place
only so rods from the road, and an

on, which was originally taxed at
5l.3O per acre, but the majority Of
