The COUNTY FINANCEs.-A communi-
cation appeared in the Democrat and Demo-
cratic Guard last week, over the signature
of "Tax Payer" who is cndeavoring to
help the Ring out of their dilemma in the
county Finances. "Tax Payer' is evidently
IN apt scholar, for he has succeeded in
clearing the matter up rs clear rs mud.
Having taken figures to suit his own case,
he has brought the expenditures Of the
county down to $40, 700 90, which will, no
doubt, raise question of veracity between
him and the county Auditors. But as the
Auditors are men of honor and veracity,
the people will take their figures as being
correct IN preference to those of Tax Payer
Nor is it probable that they will reverse
the credit and debtor accounts like "Tax
Payer" and tumble it up so no one is able
to comprehend which is right or which is
wrong. "Tax Payer'' is evidently well
booked" having, no doubt, received in
siructions from the editors of the Democrat,
and probably few lessons from the learn
cd President of the Ring. lie says that

If such is the case, will he explain why n
tiit was presented for his services and what
was done with it. "Tax Payer" is beyond
doubt tax collector or mcnial of the
Ring, ,and is desirous ofpreparing the minds
Of the people, that from SAC, 600 to 500, 600
should necessarily always remain in the
hands of collectors annually.

WE notice that since the publication Of
the Auditors Report, the delinquent colec-
tors are brought up to the mark by the
managers of the Ring. Many OF these col
lcctors will no doubt feel little chagrned
at this sudden move by the Ring, when
they reflect how they procured their dupli-
Gates, and the promises that wesc made to
them. This move is highly necessary on
the part of the Ring Mt this time, as it is
supposed many votes may yet be made be-
tween this and the Democratic primary
election by showing some activity. No
doubt il the tax collectors can shove them
eff until after the election, an extension OF
time will be granted to them. We think
that the taxpayers would prefer the paying
over as it would save the paying
of the interest on some $4,000 of the
county Indebtedness. The mill tax levied
will probably reach TO pay the expense,
next year, unless there should be extra iron
bridges built, and an extra quantity offue
consumed, aud few articles Of merehan
disc required.
