Totai $50. .653 G7
1t is probable that $500 drawn in the
year ls67-6S belonged to the salary Of
the previous year, and like amount
drawn between Sept. 1st, 1871 and
Nov. 18th. Of same year was, a balance
from the year 1s70-71. This being the
case Auditor Clark received an average
yearly salary of g, 900 per year, lacking
a few cents. Conspicuous among the
items which make up the above
amounts are miscellaneous fees" and
''for making road abstracts.p We
would like to know whore Auditor
Clark found the law to allow himself
fees for making ''road abstracts, !" or the
Commissioners to allow the same. The
people would also like to know what
these miscellaneous fees" were. We
do not believe that the legitimate fees
of this Office were in excess of 81, 500,
certainly not more than S., 600 per year
during the last four years of Mr.. Clark's
term. Did the Commissioners of Bel
mont County know how inatl they
allowed the Auditor during this time?
Ifnot, why did they not? Did they
ever have settlement with the Aud
itor at all, or did they simply allow him
to draw from the treasury all he want
| led? Now we charge that the commits
sioners never knew what they were
paying Mr.. Clark and that they never
had q proper settlement with him, and
we charge further, that they never ex-
lamined the bonds and coupons redeem
ed by him on the various Macadamized
roads, aud that they never counted
them tosee whether they corresponded
with the amounts charged to the vari;
Eous road funds. Now if they did moi
examine these bonds, coupons, voueh-
ers bills, &e., of the Auditor they did
not do their duty to the people of this
County. If they did lot know what
4 their duty was in these premises they
are very blame-worthy, if they did
Know bqtdid not do their duty, whal
shall we say of them? In either case
the interests of the County demand
that itshould have better guardians Of
its treasury. iis
In relation To the Auditors, fees we
state the omnibus fact, that the receipts
and expenditures duly certified to by
the Auditor as being correct. never
showed Sc, 900 as deing drawn by thai
officer. Neither'did the official report
of that officer to the Auditor of the
State show the amount of money re.
ceived by him. The Commissioners
now know these facts full well and
have known them for months. What
do they propose todo about the matter:
If these salaries are illegal they know

EATloNAT THE OLD TRICK.

Heafon of the Gazette feeling very
sad for reason of his failure TO pocket
one or two hundred dollars per month
of the County funds, fer printing, con-
cluded he would try the effect of his
magnificent presence a few days since
upon the Commissioners, and accord
ingly published the Tabular Statements
of Horses, Sheep, Hogs, DC, and pre-
sented his bill to the Board last week.
Being informed by the Auditor that
there was no law for paying for said
publication, the Commissioners failed
to proceed at Johnny's beckoning and
nary cent was forthcoming. We are
glad to know that there is stop to this
ring bullying Commissioners into pay
ing any bill presented whether just or
not. If Heaton must live of the COun-
ty, let an appropriation be made from
the poor funds and placed in a guardi-
ans hands for proper distribution ac-
cOrding to his wants. x.

Frightful Railroad Accident.

A collision occurred near Indepen-

b. q o. II. r., on the evening of the
9th, between an Excursion train return
ing from the State Fair at Mansfield
and the regular north bound Express
resulting in the death of eight or ten
persons and the wounding ofabout sew
enty. The collision occurred while both
trains were in motion. The fact that
information of the real extent of the
disaster is kept from the public leads
to asuspicion that the accident is more
serious than is generally supposed No
names from this immediate vicinity
are reported among the wounded. =
