The County Lodging House.

We propose, as our space will admit, from
time to time. to continue our exposure of the
outrageous manner in which the finances Of
this county have been managed. and to exhib-
it some of the causes of the enormous annual
Indebtedness. The bills which have been al
lowed against the county speak for them
selves. We shall publish some of these bills
for the information of Taxpayers, that they
may be enabled to discover where the taxes
they have paid from their hard-earned savings
have gone.
The following is copy of one of the bills
presented by the District Judge. The law
requires the county to furnish an office The
following bill may show what " an Office .

his apartment to suit himself and then asked
the county to pay the following, among other

The Veto Power Of the Auditor.

EDITORS ISDEPESDEsT: As the recent exer-
cise Of the veto power by the County Auditor
has been the source of considerable comment
within tho last few days, and inasmusb as 1t is
power, unusual if not unprecedented, lodged
with that officer, it may not be uninteresting
to your readers to know the history of the
origin of that law. .......
AT the first session OF the State Legislature
in 1S64-5, the Board OF County Commission.
ors for Storey county consisted of one Demo.
crat and two Republicans. The County An.
eitor, Lucien Hermann, was Democrat. The
County Commissioners, or majority of them.
had involved the county in q debt Of about
$500, 900 and were increasing il almos. as fnst
AZ the Auditor could draw warrants. County
scrip was worth only about twenty cents on
the dollar; the county credit was gone; the
county could not buy lights for the courts on
the credit OF the county. this dilemma the
Legislature was called upon to- relieve its en-
barrassment. That body was then nearly
unanimously Republican, the Democrat
ic party being represented by a single member
in each house. This Republican Legislature
with the aid Of the best financial talent i'm
Storey county, could devise no other means
to check this Republican extravagance than
to lodge this extraordinary power in Demo.
cratic County Auditor. Knowing they could
no longer trnst their own partisan members,
and conhdiDg in the integrity and financial
ability ofthe County Auditor, Lucien Hermann,
and the Democratic member Of tho board, the
bill became law, and under provision of
our Consultation prohibiting special lceisln.
ton, II had to be made n general law. How
faithfully the Auditor OF Storey county dis.
charged his duty is we'll known TO oil who
lived in Storey county ut that time.
In addition to this the Legislature passed
n law Mt the same time increasing the number
OF County Commissioners for TINT county from
three to FIVE, which would have been sufficient
to overcome the two already on the board, but
innsmueh ~ their appointments were given
TO the District Judges. who were all Repnbli.
cans, they did not dare 10 trust their an.
PointeeB, knowing they would DO Republicans
also. TX.

Carlin and the Chronicle.


The Chronicle seems to harbor an intense
spite against Carlin and its people, aud does
not appear very scruPulous in grntifyingit. 1t
threw cold water ON the Fourth of July cele-
bration there by denouncing the grafton as
merely partisan affair-n celebration gotten
up with much expense and labor, and a credit
to the town. The indignant citizens went
after the Chronicle, and it retracted. Last
week it made another scurrilous attack,
through "a LOCKER On" against the Carlin
Fire Company, whose skill and activity had
just saved Carlin from total destruction. The
burning of Carl!n may Seem "laughable
affair" to the Chronicle and its correspondent,
but the citizens who so narrowly escaped
ruin don't see it in that light. number of
its prominent citizens have published letter
in the Chronicle denouncing the aspersion
against the fire company as "the most vile
aud malicious slan6er and fabrication that
ever emanated from the pen Of any person. /"
We would kindly advise our ncghbor to put
curb on its efforts TO injure Carlin, and to
let its people alone for a while. There is too
much method in its madness.

Tho Poll Tar and the Ballot.

ANOTHER CnSUSDRUH-Our neignl-.r prints a series
OF Democratic resolutions Ia show what tho peopI. Of
icLS. - So - ~
The Chronicle told more truth in the above
four lines than it intended. They were good
"Dem0cratic resolutions" They embraced
the whole doctrine of the Democracy III re-
gard to this coolie importation. The working
men of Massachusetts could not express their
adherence to this Chinese business without
adopting Democratic language and feeling.
The Chronicle is right in calling resolutions
which demand the suppression of this internal
Chinese immigration Democratic There
is certainly no Radical precedent for it. How
hard it is for these Radical editors to keep ND
the appearance of enmity to their old confeder-
atesl The merest slip of the pen betrnys
them, and let's out their old Chinese associa-
ton. 1t is hard to play the new role. Never
mind, Mr.. Chronicle! 1t will only last until
after the next election. After that, you can
let out your real feelings and caress the Chi
names again as much as you hke-kiss and
make up, and heal the temporary wound by
striking out "white" from everything visible.
