Montgomery, Arson, Stanly, Cabarras,
Union, Mecklenburg, CASTOR, Lincoln and
Catawba, and, in 1870, they aggregated a
majority OF $50 votes for Ship, oveI
Phillips, in the election for Attorney Cen

We understand that Capt. Jacob Bow
man, the Revenue Assessor of this District
when pressed with questions at Mitchell
court, by Gen. Clngman, admitted thai
Mitchell county only paid three hundred
dollars tax to the Government and, also
that his own salary was two thousand dol
lars In other words, for every dollar
paid into the Treasury he took out nearly
seven dollars He protested not to know
how many other offices there We're, auC
what their salaries amounted to! There
is no doubt but that the Government lose:
largely more than it gets back, in even 6
greater proportion than this case shows
