Is 1t true, MS stated by your correspond
ent, Fair Play" in II late issue Of your
paper. that the members of our County
Court constituted themselves assessors Of
the public taxes and then voted them
selves an increase OF pay tor the same
considerably above tile amount fixed by
law? If this be trnc. in connection with
many other gross wrongs and glarlng IN
consistcncies, Il full and imphrtiarrcLti-
lalion Of the same would have the effect to
open he eyes of all good citizens. Be-
sides, the thoughurss members of the

rOrs of their way and kindly admoniShing
them to 20 their way and sin no more.
understand Fair Play" to condemn
Congress for the passage OF the salary-grab
law last winter. | further understand him
to assent that the Franklin county Sunhc-
drim acted us sllamciully ut its last quar-
terly term by increasing the pay Of its
members for assessing the public taxes rs
above stated. This deduction seems to be
fair aud legitimate. There is one differ
encc however. between members ofCon-
grcss and sQuires in the clscs mentioned
The people elected the congressman. and
the squares elected themselves to assess the
taxes, and when thus elected they knew
what compensation they were entitled to
under the law; and ifthcy could not have
done the work they should have appointed
some o ftlleir constituents who would hay"
done it legally as well ifnot better for said
compensation.
The prcmi SEES considered, ] will say that
it is high time for the county Fathers to
look beyond their own.membcrs for suit
able men to assess our taxes and sit on
Our %jurics. All matters of public impor-
lance should be conducted deccmtly, and in
order that this may be done wish that
sel%f-appointing power should be placed as

is not the first element OF pure religion in
sQuires appointing themselves, kith, or
kin. to any position OF responsibility or

self. kitl,. or kin, to position is certainly
lost to that refined sensibility that char
