ceding wear. OF this amount $50, 134- 90 were
paid under the act of Congress of February
IL, 1871, to survivors of the war OF 1917.
The annual increase Of pensions by the legls-
lation of Congress has more than kept pace
with the natural yearly losses from the icils
The act of Congress of June 5, IslZ, mas
added an estimated amount OF S750,oOo per
apnum to the rolls without increasing the
number of pensioners. We cannot, there
fore, look for any substantial decrease in the
expenditures of this department for some
time to come, or so long as Congress con
tinues to change the dates of pensions. The
whole number of soldiers enlisted in the

We have already reported this Office in
competent, but there seems to be no
remedy, but n new election, which being
near at hand, wo hope will result in
filing this important oifoo with per
son fitted to discharge its duties
In the County Commissioners office
We found nothing wrong except the
Poor House Accounts we lind that the
expenses of the establishment for n little
over FIVE months amounted to nearly
five hundred dollars, and there being
upon an average but eight pers sons in
the Poor House during this time, we
consider this expense enormous. We
find, by examining the accounts Of this
institution, that a very high charge is
made upon each article furnished, and
is allowed by the Board This was cx.
planned to us by the Clerk of the Board
who seemed to have charge of the Poor
House in this way. He says that he is
obliged to allow these high prices be
cause the accounts are pail in County
| Orders which have to be sold at dis.
count. We present this course of the
Board of County Commissioners to the
Court as highly reprohensible and as
official misconduct for which we pre-
sent them for indictment. The Poor
II ouso itself exhibits no signs of this
lavish expenditure Of tho peoples money.
We find there three lunatic persons, who
re think should be sent to an Asylum
