County AFFAIRs.-We mentioned the
fact, day or two since, that the Board
Of County Com missioners refused TO
pass some resolutions of inquiry int
the administration of county affairs du-
ring the past few years, which were in
troduced by DR.. W. II. White. This was
certainly very singular and unAecount'
able action on the part Of those TO whose
care is intrusted the public interests OF
the county, and will doubtless strike the
public mind as an open defiance of an
Imperative public demand. 1t is, we
think, very generally conceded by every
taxpayer in the county that such an in
vestigation and exhibit as was contem-
plated by these resolutions, is urgently
required, not only that proper informa-
ton in relation to our county affairs
may be laid before the people, but that
those that are charged with administering
them may have an opportunity of giving
an account of their stewardship. We do
not know which members of the Board
voted in the negative when these resolu-
tons we're before them, nor do we know
the reasons which induced them SO to
vote; but we think it aiegitimats subject
of inquiry, and we should like to be en-
lightened. Dr. White, we think, will be
sustained by the honest men OF all par
ties in this effort to have additional safe
guards thrown around the public inter
ests, and we trust he will continue 10
press the matter and bring to light any
hidden official iniquity which may
exist
