REPORT OF THE TREASURER.

We publish to-day lengthy communi
cation from Mr.. Baetz to the County
Board in regard to the financial condition
Of the County. 1t contains some figure.
which we think will startle our business
men and heavy taxpayers somewhat
We. doubt if any one in the county had
any just idea of the amount of orders is
sued and unredecmed. The County
Boards for several years past have acted
as though county orders were of no value.
They have paid for everything in orders,
and they have ordered pretty much every
thing, and we directly charge the late
Board with the crime of squandering the
peoples money. We believe in calling
things b. their right names, and although
much has been said about the Poor Com
missioners, and justly, too, we honestly
believe thatsome of the late County Board
could steal two dollars to their one. Why
the Board is just as guilty as the Poor
Commissioners for the outrageous expen-
diture of the Poor Fund, and then it must
be held accountable for the lavish expen-
diture of money for other purposes
These County Boards should be given to
understand that every one of those orders
which they issue, hawk about the streets
and sell at discount, must, sooner or
later, be redeemed dollar for dollar,
There is no reason why this county should
be in debt one farthing, and it would not
be were it aot for the dishonest scoun-
drels who have controlled public affairs.
We have everything here which makes a
county rich; and we are rich We will
venture the assertion that there is not
county in northern Wisconsin where
there are 80 many we'll TODD farmers as
there are here. And they pay their
taxes without a word, even when they
know that a large portion of the sum
goes down deep into the pockets of
thieves. With an honest and economi-
cal management of public affairs SEN
sibly recommended by Mr.. Baetz, this
county can pay every cent of its indebt
edness, and have money in the treasury
inside Of three years, and do it easily too.
But let things go on three years longer
the way they have for three years past
and we will have debt saddled on to us
which can not beremoved in ten years of
good management However we think
there is little to fear. The people have
their eyes open and the days of that
party which led us into this mire are
numbered. A reform is demanded, and
the hour of its arrival draweth near A
light glimmers in the horizon and with
hope the people rejoice

"EIFTEEN POUNDS RAPE BY SHEA.
HlN3
More Light or Dark DeedS-Our
Poor House Common BrOthel.

We stated last week that our Poor
System as managed last year was scah
mess; and it proves to have been even
worse than at that time we supposed ii
was. We had reason to think there had
been LAVISH expenditure of many thou
sands of the peoples money, but we did
| not imagine chat crime In another and
more hideous form had boldly, unblush-
| ingly walked among us. Such, alas, proves
| to have been the case. In fact the proof
goes to show that the whole system was
| rotten to the core, and not one minute
too soon was it abolished. The enquiry
of TWsezers in one of his communica-
tons, was exceedingly pertinent as will
appear from the following.
About one year ago We exposed in the
columns of the TRIBUNE the trickery by
which James Sheahan was installed keep
er of the Poor Farm. A pretended friend
OF the old keeper, Mr.. Hampton-who
was,we are told,a kind hearted deserving
-ascertained from him in confidence
what he was to bid for the farm for the
year 1868. This hypocritical friend-who
was member of the County Board
then used his knowledge to get the
present incumbent in the place by putting
in bid few cents less than the other
bid. This transaction of itself was sug-
gestlve of crime; and that crime has
since been committed is substantiated by
an affidavit on file in the Clerk of the
Courts office.
At the June term of the Circuit Court
was az application for divorce on tho
ground Of adultery. To sustain the case
parties went up to the Poor House in the
absence of the keeper and took the affida-
Wit of woman who was an inmate OF the
Institution. She testified that on a GER
tain designated day she had seen wo-
man-an inmate Of the poor farm-have
improper intercourse with man not her
husband, and the complaint states that
James Sheahan had such intercourse on
the said designated day. The applica-
ton for Divorce was granted on this
testimony. But there is still further evil
dence of guilt. The neighbors say if
shadows of coming events can be relied
on we shall ere long have an addition to
the number of our paupers.
Now Reader, isn't this Sheahan fine
specimen of man to have charge of the
County Poor? Arduous duties he ha. to
perform! We do not wonder the Board
allowed him $500 per week when the
contract was only $1.70. They said no
man could board the poor, and live, at
such price-and they probably knew;
Sheahan certainly did.
Honest people of Manitowoc, how do
you like the picture? What do you
think of a County Board that will tcler-
ate such damnable deeds? If we have
any lar in the land we hope our District
Attorney will make it manifest and show
thieves and adulterers that ''The way of
the transgressor is hard"
