death Of old Grimes; the non-incubating

tendency Of the wAvering vote was

Alabama broke and gave Wade two; his
column in Georgia broke and gave Wade

votes were cast for Wade and four for
Colfax. The break came so soon, in
such dangerous direction. as to pro-

new building should be erected on TIE present
property or whether it should be sold and
another purchased on which to build Two
weeks ago we discussed the question of the
sale Of the present property, matter Of no
small consequence to the taxpayers of the
County However itmay finally be decided
there is another matter connected with it of
equal importance. A new Poor House must
be erected somewhere. Who shall have
charge Of this business as well as of the sale
Of the present property, if it be sold, and
the purchase of another? This is question
ofthe highest importance. Shall the whole
business be made a party job? An effort
was made about a year ago to snake bill
through the legislature giving the whole
matter in charge of the Poor Directors.
This scheme failed; and who, that knows
the record of the Poor House management
for some years past, does net rejoice in its

it was supposed that the Poor Directors
were more easily controlled by the party
managers, and their accounts subjected to
less careful scrutiny.

missioners may erect Poor Houses and sell
or buy lands connected Herewith, when the
same shall have been recommended by the
directors Of the poor, grand jury, and the
court Of quarter sessions of the proper coun-
ty. Now we have not a word to say against
the honesty, integrity and general we'll mean
ing of the present commissioners, on the
contrary, from personal acquaintance with
them, we have the fullest confidence in their
personal integrity. But we well know that,
in great part, the general character of their
official business is shaped and controlled by
bitter and unserupulous partisans, who do
not hesitate to sacrifice not only honor and
integrity but also the best interests of the
county to party and party favoritism Again
however faithful the commissioners are now
and may have been there Is no denying the
fact that the aggregate of taxes in this ooun-
