IL have an interest. They are not
interested in reading the hard names
we may call the Citizens editor
Whatever matters OF disagreement
Of personal nature there may be
between the editor of the Citizen
and oui self can and must be settled,
If settled Mt all, outside OF our col
umns,
The facts to which we call the at
tention OF our readers, are rs follows:
When the County Auditor gave
us the proceedings OF the January
Term of the Board OF Supervisors
for publication, he called attention to
the List OF Jury Fees, and remarked
that lie was not requested to have it
published IL more than one paper and
that he shouia not gre The List to The
| Cfi.eR. Seoa after the List was pub.
lishcl III this paper, we met the cdi-
tor OF the Citizen who observed to
us that he had not been furnished
with the copy OF the above named
List and asked us If we knew why it
was. We stated 20 him the reason
rs given to us by the Auditor. a
few weeks after the above conyersa-
ton, the List above spoken Of was
published in the Citizen, and meeting
the editor OF that paper very soon
after he told us that he had publish
cd the List and should try 10 get his
pay from the County: st the same
time asking our opinion as 10 whcth-
cr he would succeed. Not word
was spoken by him, in,imating that
he had any authority TO publish the /
List. Subsequently, Mr.. Wilkinson,
one of the members of the Board, |
told us that he and Mr.. Hall had |
been considerable bored by the cli-
tor of the Citizen, in the attempt of
the editor to get them TO agree to I
aid him in securing pay from the
county Tor the publication Of the
said List We understand that Meth
CT OF the Supervisors gave him any en-
couragcment.
About the same time, the subject
was mentioned between the Auditor
and ourseli. and the Auditor said
that he did not anshorrze the editor
OF the Citizen to publish the List, but
that, iicsmnch as he had published
it, he, Che Auditorl shou d !, CON-
mend that the clam therefor be paid.
In conversation with the Audit
or, last Friday, tile Auditor desired,
point blank, the avcrmcnts above,
in respect to the late conversation
had by the editor OF the Citizen with
the Auditor; ana especially did he
emphaically deny tina, he eyer told I
the editor Of the Citizen to publish /
the List, or that he told him tina. he
had as much right to publish 1t as
NJ. +. {. True
If orr amiable ncighbor has mis-
understood the Auditor. i'm this mat. |
ter, we hope he will soon find some
means of setting himself right.
But, snpposing We conccdc the |
lacts to be as set forth in the Citizen,
above, wherein is his case helped |
any. He says "thc Auditor told us
to publish the List and send in oar
bill, yNc toa-d al2otred L, Z roa'a he al
right. If the claim was founded on
any authority Of the -inattor, as
claimed, how comes there 10 be any
doubt is to is payment by the Board?
We object that the Board was not
permitted to pass upon the claim in
any honest manner The Board was
not notified, either by The Editor OF
the Citizen, or by the Auditor. of the
peculiar motive OF the claim. No
hint was given TO it Of the irregular
dubious character of the bill and so it
was allowed as asnatter OF course
Had the Board, the printing Commit
tee or the county Attorney been in
formed OF tie facts IN the case and
the claim been there allowed we
should Lave had no reason to object
to thecoursc pursued by the editor OF
tie Citizen. We shall object. how
ever to any unhonorabc method OF
presenting claims to the Beard, nor
will any hard words, applied to us
personally, that may be used by the
editor OF the Citizen or any one else,
deter US from the performance OF this
duty.
