THE nonchalance of the late Board Of
Canvassers, at least the Democratic por-
ton Of them was something truly re-
markable. They very cody informed the
citizens assembled that it was no sort of
use to say anything, or make any protests
to them, as they had made up their
minds beforehand what the decision
should be-
Ii is a very consoling thing for the pub
lie to know that the burden of thinking
is thus taken offtrom them. But there are
large number who Ike to do that sort
Of work for themselves, and strange to
say this class find fault with their manner
Of procedure.
When men are public servants, receiv-
ing their pay from the public, they ought
to be at least decenty courteous when
representatives from large portions OF
the people confer with them upon their
duties. ~

REFORsL.


DEAR PUBLIC For some time have
thought of writing to you, upon the sub
jcet which heads this article. The sub
ject has been left to ADLER pens than
mine, but as they are ell engaged npon
one side or the other, On the political
questions Of the day, |, weak and unas-
sisted, must do what [ can.
Great abuses ere at work which con
Germ you and, dearpublic.i it is your right
and duty to free yourself from them.
Ifsthe corruption which mas. almost
made bankrupt the metropolis OF our
country, should overturn our government,
you alone are to blame for it.
We will take glance at the. corrnp7.
ton around ussand then you may judge
for yourself whether reform Is needed
Let US first glance at-our own county.
We have seen our county officers rob
the people of thousands of dollars. We
have seen one officer take over ten thous
and dollars and then be allowed to so
scot free We have seen another county
officer use the most abusive language 30
committee of the County Board, who
were sent to ask him for some money
which he owned the county. Such things
have happened regularly for years; it is
now time, those officers knew their places
that they are not public masters, but
public servants. aia,s 80
Our great mistake has been that we
trust too much to poor human nature. 1t
is all very nice to call such defautine
officers thieves, ''rogues, ''scoun-
drels," and the Ike, when their only
fault was that the temptation was too
great for them, that does not obviate the
difficulty, the next set may do the same
thing. Our laws should be so made that
if any do steal they viii be found out
forthwith and not let their wickednes be
covered by the dust of years, till some
future Investigating Committee shall
bring their misdeeds to light
But how can these things be prevent
ed? By lengthening the term Of county
officers from two years to five. By nSek-
ing good behavior one of the first gualifi-
cations for Office. BY making the county
beard examine the books Of the county
officers at least once year. The board
should do this, they ought not to de-
putIze committee. In case their books
show them to be at all deficient in the
performance of their duty, their walking
papers should be given them forthwith.
We need vigorous reform in our
manner of electing officers. Now man
who receives a nomination for any Office
must canrass the county, lay out at least
half of his fortune, for what? For the
purpose of bribinq voters to vote for him.
1t he is defeated it may ruin him. if elect
ed he must be Unidentified some way, so
he. puts his hands in the peoples pockets.
Here you can prevent one inducement to
public robbery ; let there be a tacit I'M
Outstanding between the two parties that
If any nominee attempts to canvass, his
party agrees to vote for the opposite can
dldate. Thus the people would be left
to vote for or against a nominee on his
own merits and which by voting. of which
We have heard so much lately. would be
abolished.
So much, dear public, for the affairs of
our county, | will try and tell you next
week about corruption and reform
abroad.

VALUABLE WORK.

An agent is now in this city receiving
subscriptions of our citizens for DIR.
kltto's Illustrated History of the Bible,
which is decidedly the best work of the
kind published. 1t is not only history
of the Old and New Testaments, but of
the four hundred years intervening be-
tween the time of Malachi and the birth
OF Christ, and is, therefore, connected for
the period of four thousand years. 1t
is finely Illustrated by about 300 engrav-
lngs, many OF them by the celebrated
artist Gustaye Dore, with maps, notes
&c. &c, We notice that some Of our
leading citizens have already given their
orders for this excellent work, which we
hope will find here. as elsewhere, an ex.
tensiye sale. We copy the following from
the Oconto Reporter which explains its
self:
APPRECIATED. DR. Kitto's Illustra-

eral hundred copies have jvst been de-
llvered in this city, and are giving excel
lent satisfaction. We take pleasure in
announcing this fact, as it is a work OF
great value, in religious, scientific and
historical light, for the student and es-
pecially the family. We would also cor
daily commend it to those who may
hereafter have an opportunity of pur-
chasing, and may its sale, unprecedented
in the past. still continue in the future
in proportion to its merits.

The -Manitowoc City Lyceum met at
the School Louise in the I'd ward. No
vember 18th, 1871, pursuant to pri "a tie
call. A large number were in attendance
The meeting was duly organized aud the
requisite committee on permanent or
ganization appointed. Whereupon the
meeting adjourned until next Saturday,
November 18th, 1871, to meet at the
same place, at 7 p. m.
Let all who are interested in the I.y-
ceum be in attendance next Saturday
evening, and let this profitable institution
be maintained during the coming win
ter.
We are glad to perceive that there is
one school attic least in our three Dis
trlcts that proposes to establish Lyceum
for next winter. but, we would ask,
why but one? Can not every School Dis
trlct In this city-aye In this county
have Lyceum of its own? How pleas
ant would it be, for Instance, if the mem
bers of every District should visit each
others meetings Interchangeable Our
Schools have now as good teachers as
they ever had, their principals are finely
educated, young, active and fully able to
lead such enterprises to the highest sue
cess. Why then delay? Will not our
Superintendcnt take hold of this matter
also?
We suggest these thoughts forthorouch
consideration and the prom ptest possible
action.

BURNETT VS. Es2ERPDNT.

: In view Of the fact that there is con-
test between the above named candidates
for the Office of County Clerk, it behooves
our County Board now in session, 10
take cogpizance of the fact that the peo-
pie will in the end be obliged to pay per-
haps doubly for the usurpation of the
Office by air. Plerpont.
Dir. Pierpont by manipulation Of
his own, sayoring strongly of Tammany-
ism ISL possession of the office and ex-
poets to contest Mr.. Burnet's election in
the courts with the peoples money.
Should Mr.. Burnes prove successful
in his resort to the courts fer possession
of the office, as be no doubt will, the
people viii hardly be satisfied to find that
Mr.. -Pierpoat has been paid salary reg
u!arly and that the same salary must also
be paid second time to Dir. Burnet.
The Board cannot do e wiser thing than
to require that no money be paid to any
claimant to that Office as salary until the
right of possession is settled. This can
be done by passing a resolution instruct
ing the Chairman to sign no orders on
the Treasurer for that purpose until the
decision OF the court is given.
'ltis only just and rightthat some action
like this should be taken in the premises
1t will work no injury to any one and will
be a source Of satisfaction to the people
of the County. ~ Ky
