We publish to-day the whole Of the report of the
Committee ofInvestigaton of County office, with
the exception of the lists of tax certificates thus ena
bling each one of our friends to his IDEA Of
the corruption and robbery which has gone in our
County for the last six years who knows, how much
longer Twenty thousand dollars have been illegally
appropriated by County officers, besides What
seems they have talcn for which thers is no evil
dence. 1t is frightfu Our citizens need no longer
enquire, what has been the of our enormous
taxes.
That report contains also all the testimony taken
from the several officers. We glad to learn,
that at the least part of these immense
losses may be saved as all the officers examined have
promised tosmalze good, whatever deficiency may be
proven against them, and that one Mr.. John G..
Eggers, has already paid up his deficiency. Mr.. Bach
assured, will also settle up in full, which he
is quite able to do, while fear that Mr.. Fuessen
ich will not only prove defaulter, but swindler of
the deepest dye; he has squandered not only the
| fluids entrusted to him by the County, amounting
alone to ten thousand dollars. but all the
available of his nearest and dearest kindred
and friends. Erpedieacy has brought this dark blot
upon the bright records of our Republican party in
TINS county, ENpeClency look Hlii "HeH uc
failed to be nominated by Democratic convention;
Expectancy elected him to the Legislature a Re-
publican there to enable hiln to vote with the Demo-
Gratis. Expediency tried him again by electing-him
Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, only to enable
him, to betray his best friends and give all the
pri--.inS to the Democratic presses; and once
did Expedency reflect him to the office last
fall until he is defaulter, countereiter and
swndler, but we suppose no longer considered Dem
crat.
May the miserable end of expediency in this
be warning example to our party, to every party
may neveriagain nominate any man, just because
he stands well with the grog-shops, and squanders
money for buying:voters who attends every dance
and electioneering carousal throughout the county
and who is a christian atheist whenever and
wherever occasion may require.

LIBERTY. March 18th 1871.

EDITOR TRIBUNE Il humbly beg par
don of you for my long silence, but [
found it impossible to write, because of
the scaecity of local items, IF thefts,
housc-5urnings, murders and all such are
extremely scarce, honesty, sobriety, viz
tue, &C., are plenty and these shall form
the subject of this letter.
The people are so sober that they are
never or very seldom tipsy, hence we have
no wife whippings, no burning of houses
or barns to obtain the insurance, nor any
Of the other ills which follow close on the
heels Of the modern destroyer. Among
virtues, sobriety ranks first, be it in a ma
ton, town or man, and true liberty i.
only to be found among sober and in
dustrious class of people.
The industry of our people is really I'M
surpassed. What can exceed the indust
ry of men who can transform the bowling
wilderness to beautiful farms.
| Twenty years ago, most if not all Of
our citizens were poor, but by Industry
and economy, they have risen to compc
tence and many ofthem are wealthy.
The men who first settled here, have
either gone to their long home, Or are
gradually giving way TO their sons, Will
they pass away their remaining days Ii
! Well=earned peace and comfort.
The world has been witness within III
last two years to the mighty efforts whlcl
have been made here, for the dissemina
tion Of knowledge Two lyceums hav
been started. One has risen gradual
till now..lt stands at its heighth shedding
a virtuous light over darkened world
While Others have crumbled and fallen
this one continues On its glorious earee
i and is now manufacturing future orators

Of our young ladies this week, are

has not; he has gone to the water-not

L. Z. Shove, sworn, testified as fol
lows:
: Q. /. State what you know about q
safe purchased Of you by the Clerk OF the
Board for the use Of the county.
A Mr.. Euessenich came several tunes
to look at the safe, and to see how it
worked he expressed himself satisfied,
but said he could not buy it until the
Board met and authorized him. At a
subsequent meeting Of the Board of SUI
pervisors, a committee consisting of Lor-
rigan, Galloghly and | think Mohr, I
won't be certain Of the last, came to look
at the safe, and said they should recon-
mend the purchase. After this I received
a county order for $500, from Mr.. Fues-
-senich in full payment for the safe.
Peter Mulholland, sworn, deposes the
following answers:
q. l. Were you present at a session
Of the county Board Of Supervisors, as
attending officer of said Board, when
they discussed the matter of buying a
safe for the Clerks office? IF SO, state
your recollections of what was done in
the matter.
y. | was present at a meeting of the
Board, when they were talking Of buying
safe. Mr.. Mohr was absent, and I
was sent for him. [ met him coming
into town, and when he arrived at the
Court House, it is my recollection that
they decided to buy the safe, and direct
ed the Chairman and Clerk, to issue an
order for the amount, [ think $500. 1t
may have been more but it was not less.
