It may be that some of the members of
the. Board do not take part In all the
minor proceedings, but In the main I
have failed to detect any drones Except
the present party, in the last years
members and I cannot at present see
how three men could he selected 20 a.
to be ~ we'll posted in regard to the
wants Of all the different townships 90
- toEepresent them as well Is the Board
Of Supervisors can, II all the members
are capable men and do their duty. 1t
may be that ID lives in town and sees
some members Of the Board walking the
streets when the Board ID In session; or,
perhaps he lives in the country, and
does not understand why the Board
meets, and adjourns SO soon after, and
thus concludes that in either case large
portion of the time Is spent in idleness.
But were he to be present and acquaint
hilmself he would find the different
committees at work-of which there are
nine--not all at work at the same time,
but often three or more, of three men
each; and they can certainly do more
business than any three men could in
the same length Of time. And l, with
some others that know of, would be
hard to convince that almost any six
teen men would be more difficult to be
Influenced by designing men, for any
selfish ends, than would three. Is the
old adage dead, that "two heads are bet
ter than one though one is a sleeps
head"
Why does not 'D' recommend that
the grand and petit jurors be reduced to
three each? A debate OH the PROPOSE
ton might do some good. l do not
mean this as burlesque, but am in ear
nest, as it seems to me that ID in his
answer to Republican, has entirely for
saken his text, except in one case, where
he claims that the County Commits
sioners never issued r. r. Bonds, or
built extnvagant Court Houses, &c,
and has gone off after Republican, de-
batting the honorable deeds of the Re-
publican party, the rights of producers
and non-producers, abolishing corpora
tons, the power of ready cash, and the
thickness of farmers and laborers'
skulls, &c. am surprised at the mod
esty OF d. after holding the Board and
its doings up to ridicule, he says it is the
system and not the men he is opposed
to; he knows and highly esteems some
of them, and believes the remainder Us
good as those he knows. l think there
Is q Joke somewhere. 'D' knows and
esteems some of the Board, then places
them all OH an equality, but not with
the three good men he spoke of, that
could do all the business the sixteen
done in two days. l recommend that
we stick to the text, and If the object is
to vilify the Board, as men; or part OF
them, rs drones; or all, as not under
standing their duty, and making them
selves q laughing stock; or if we have
committed an error in jumping from the
one man power to sixteen man power, it
is time the people are convinced of the
error aud reform.
BY examining the minutes of the last
meeting Of the Board it will be seen that
three committees were in session at the
same time. / can vouch for one of them
being hard at work every minute, and
had no leisure time to run through
town, and believe the other two com.
mittees were just as busy. The three
good men 'D' speaks of would have to
divide themselves into three commit.
tees of one man each, and rush the bust.

being equally interested, all workers
and understanding their duty, NIGH
possibly, but not probably meet the ex
pectations of d.
In conclusion, if ID and others die
smile at some Of the errors providing
they were errors), it showed a lack OF
charity. II they smiled because the er
ror proceeded from ignorance, do moi

why is it that their decisions are Otter
carried to higher Court, and there re
versed. And should more be expected
of men who have not studied law. Far
mers are not 80 ignorant but they know
that ninety-nine and three-thirds cent
make a dollar; and by figures they car
be convinced that the difference between
one man power and sixteen, I'D woult
show US the cost of the former for on,
year, the financial condition of the coun
ty when given to the latter, and tn
cost and financial condition per annun
of each, considering the increase of pop
ulation and county business. I stan'
open to conviction, and think the peopl
