Heretofore Mr.. Henry Robinson and T.
NJ. Gray, Esq, were appointed by me, as
Probate Judge, to inspect and examine the
County Treasury, and certify the condition
of the same in writing, in triplicate, one
copy to be deposited with the Treasurer, one
with the Auditor and one with the Probate
Judge. These certificates or reports have
not been deposited with either of the
above named Officers. Notwithstanding,
in what purportS to be their report pub
lished in this paper. find: the following.
''In addition to the above and foregoing,
we beg leave to announce tozt people OF
Fayette County, that we submitted our
report to the Probate Judge with request
to give the same publicity, &C., which re-
quest was modestIy refused by His Honor
/ In the first place that they submitted a
report to the Probate Judge. is stating
that which is not so; such report has
never been submitted to me.
ThatI refused to give publicity to their
report is also untrue.
Mr.. Henry Robinson called upon me to
inquire concerning the publication of their
report, and asked me if it was customary
to have them published. I told him il
was not, and that the law did not require il
done, and consequently it had made nc
provisions for defraying such expenses
but that 1 had no doubt the papers
would publish it as a matter of in
formation to the people. 1 had nc
objection to having the report published
Thereupon he suggested that these ex-
penses was a matter between me and the
County Auditor-that notwithstanding il
would be unlawful to apply the peoples
moneysin that way, yet under the circum
stances he did not think the people woulc
complain of it. To this suggestion anC
requestof Mr.. Robinson's. fatty and EN-
phatically demurred.
And again he says said, ''if any persol
refuses to vote for me because declint
to consent to the publication of your re
port they may do sou
And again the truth is misrepresented
for never declined to consent to the pub
licatlon of their report. At that time, recol
lect, their report was not made. But wha
did say, when he told me these matter
were against the Republican County Tick
ct, was, that would do all the law re
quired of me, but that I would not consen
to draw funds illegally from the Count
Treasury to pay for the publication no
pay it out of my own pocket, and if tha
busted me, let it bust.
So I say yet From men who harp o
corruption, frauds, &C., these suggestion
of making unlawful application of the pee
pies money come with very bad grace
And upon this statement of the facts
stand before the People of Fayette Cour
r ty," for their votes next Tuesday

Sewing Machine Sales for 1871.
Occasionally whole covey or flock ef facts
springs suddenly to the view of the public and
draws universal attention. AS very few sports
men ever enjoy the good fortune to fetch down a
whole flock at shot, it rarely falls to the lot OF
any business t11arksn1an to bring to the ground
so great swarm of 'gamey'' realities. But OccR-
sonally there is business establishment which
uses long range gun that both spreads and con- =
centrates in discharge. The Singer Manufac-
turing Company is one of these extraordinary
calibres. To the point of illustration: The bird
in this case is the Singer Sewing Machine; whole
number brought to market in 1871, 1S1 ,26O. being
in word fifty two Thousand more than was bag
ged by any other company. If therefore, the
number of sales be any criterion of the merits of
the different machines it cannot be denied that
the Singer. owing TO the popularity of what is
known as their NEW FAMILY machine, far sur
passes all Others for the fact is shown by sworn
returns of the companies, which returns are made
under the licenses granted. them by the owners
