would direct your attention to the
laws defining the powers and duties of
county commissioners, and their perver-
sions and abuses. From the frequent
complaints against some of the boards,
it would be imagined that they were
devoted more to private acquisition than
the faithful discharge of public trust.
In neighboriug States the Office ofcouLty
commissioner is looked upon more as an
honorary station bestowed as mark of
confidence aud trust in the judgment and
business capacity of the individual, ra-
ther than as position of becuniary en-
olunient, and except in the neighborhood
OF largo cities, the compensation is but
trivial, seldom amounting to mole than
from fifty toa hundred dollars per an
nun. Stringent laws are required for
the prevention and punishment of abu-
ses, which will restrict expenditures with:
in legitimate bounds, forbid all partici-
patton, direct or indirect, in contracts
for which proposals should be invariably
advertised restricting the amount Of
county orders issued. constituting the

TRUST DEPOSITS.

Since the Bank of the State ceased
operations, there has been no suitable
means of security depositing funds held
by the courts. 1t is of great Importance
that provision should be made by law
for the security of such funds, both for
the preservation of pure admiuistra-
tion of that important branch of judicial
jurisdiction, and for the protection of
snitors, Places of security should be. in
Gicated and provision. made for the de
post Of adequate pledges from parties
authorized by law to become custodians
OF such funds; and means should be
provided for increasing such securities
from time to time, SO as to afford sutfi-
cieut protection to all amounts so deposi-
ted; and tile control over such deposits
while in the hands of such repositories,
should be further secured by allowing to
the courts summary remedies against
them, TO the same extent rs If they were
the regularly appointed receivers of the
courts.

is necessary to accomplish that purpose
