The ELECTION being no Off
cial notification TO the electors OF the
passage by Congress of the act postron-
ing the election from June to November
it is contended by some that the elec-
ton must be held under the old law, III
accordance with tie Governor Procla-
nation; and we understand that our
County Auditor, who deems himself au-
thority upon all such questions, holds
to that opinion, and declares his pur-
pose to have polls opened on Mouda
next unless otherwise ordered by the
Governor. The only question to be de-
termlned is, whether such u law has been
passed and gone into effect. If that Is
settled atfirmatlvely, 1t is the conclusion
of the whole matter. The proclamation
| of the Governor has 10 force OF law, but
| is simply il notice of the law. The law
of Congress is paramount to all Tern
torial laws OF Executive acts. A law oi
Congress which ta.es eject from ami
after its passage, is in full force without
other notification or publication. Ii l,
made the duty of the Governor to give
notice of all general elections by procla-
nation but is not made his duty by
law to give notice Of any change OF the
law in the mean time which postpones
the election to another time. He IS on
iy to give the specified notice of the time
when the election Will be held under the
law as 1t then stands. Hence all cen
sures upon the Governor for not notify
ing the public OF IL change OF the law Is
gratuitous and uncalled for.
Since the foregoing WAS in type We have
been informed that the Governor has
received official notification Of the act
postponins the election and las COM
mum lated thesanc to the county Audl-

then upon the real property, asset fortl
lin said tax list. Now it appears from
the official report. that less than one
half of the assessed taxes for the yea
have been returned paid according t.
law no delinquent tax list has been ex-
hibited; no enforced collections attempt
ed; no levy or sale advertised; and yet
the Auditor presumcs it is all right. Is
this Just to the taxpayers who prompt
ly pay their taxes and the interest upon
large public debt -?
As to the shape and nature ofthe pres
ent county Indebtedness. we have no
showing whatever. The Auditor casu-
ally remarks that 21 county bonds have
been called in and scrip issued for the
same. The amount of these bonds is
not stated, nor the authority or reason
for their conversion from one form OF
Indebtedness to another. Scrip was is
sued to the amount of 80 SLIP to pay
interest on county Indebtedness, which
Is about u per cent. upon the amount
of the whole public debt lei- orted. but
no explanation as the why, wherefore
or to whom.
If there is anything in three disjoint-
d, .oose reports from which any con-
clusien ean be drawn, 1t is that the af-
fairs of the county have been most loose,
ly and improvidently, If not dishonest
ly conducted. We postpone further
comment awaiting the response Of the
Auditor to the request OF taxpayers fol

LETTER FROM NORTH EAST.
NORTH East. April II. 1877,

NoRIh IsASA, <Apkit - iSs~'
Mr.. EpIToR:-About the 4th OF April,
two quiet respectable fellows, called to see
the agent of the lower station of the "Dead
River Grand Trunk Railway" who very
soon furnished them with tickets to secure
a ride on the road, and in little while they
were fairly underway; but before travelling
Tar, their brains became somewhat muddlel,
and they concluded to stop of at Jacobs
station. Now the agent of that station
being man Of considerable notoriety and
of no mean pretenstions, processes not to
issue tickets to those whose mental facul-
ties are impaired, but his propensity for
greenbacks being strong on this occasion,
got the better of his more pious sentiments,
and consequently he furnished them with
the means which enabled them to take the
train again; but they didn't travel far be-
fore a controversy took place between
them, and in few minutes they were in
hollis and both tumbled off the train to-
gether, one of the men being a nervous
muscular fellow, fell on top of his comrade,
bruising him very much and straining or
breaking his ankle, which has confined
him to his room ever since. We under
stand he is on the mend but very slow.
The conclusion was SO great that the
stronger was hurt also, but recovered in a
few DAYS

buried at Kimbleville.

was caused by tho breaking of breecl-

The Called Jade WiDces.-


High Commissioners of Elkton, having
been stirred up by The Wing in the course
of their reckless extravaganza and unpar-
alleled grabbing, try to divert public opin-
ion from their acts, by coming back at us
with the foolish and false charge that The
Wig Office is built on Town property
This is but weak imitation of Tammany.
When the New York Times ventilated the
frauds of the Ring, they charged that the
Times Office was built on city property, and
made show of instigatiug legal proceed
ings to GUST their pursuer, who was so
mercilessly uncovering their villanies. In
copying the Tammany Ring. the Elkton
Ring expose new features of resemblance
to that great metropolitan organization.
Real estate can't be stolen; it is matter
of record, and not one-eighth of an inch Of
The HAig Office is on the property of the
town, but on the contrary, several. feet on
North street, belonging to the lot on which
the office is built, is thrown out on the
street, and paved for the use Of the public,
which we can enclose at any time we see
fit. The side street, where We filled up a
dirty gutter permitted by the town to
remain for years receptacle for cast off
hoop skirts, old shoes, bones, rank weeds
and other rubbish, and laid with brick
pavement, which widened and improved
the street, is used more by the public in
Al. Ill ko1, Of f0,
hundred feet of Balloon-town,' fitted
with costly curbing at the public expense,
will be used in six weeks. We did not ask
the town to furnish anything to these
improvements which are daily used by the
public; and all the property belonging to
The Wing Office that stands on town limits,
is box three feet square, which supports
the steps to the office-door. The founda-
ton for this bulkhead was reclaimed from
an unsghtly gutter, and was no infringe
ment on side walk or public thorough,
fare. If reform in this direction is medi.
tated, a fruitful field may be found on Main
street, where the Commissioners had bet
ter make their first efforts. At the post
Office set of stone steps monopolizes the
sidewalk and crowds pedestrians into the
street, and further up you will find more
of the same. On the opposite side the

Close Of thu Schools.-On Monday last
the Public Sch ools throughout the county
closed, to be opened no more till Septem-
Der next. In the meantime, probably a
small percentage of the schools VIII be
opened as subscription schools, there not
being many localities where pupils can be
had in sufficient number to justify teacher
in the undertaking.
As previously announced, Misses Moore
and Nicols will open private schools in the
Elkton Public School rooms, on Monday
next. The well known ability of these
ladies in their profession, together with
their popularity with both parents and
children, will doubtless secure to them the
p. >tronage they SO well deserve.
