RESIDENT ENGINEER OF THE
NATIONAL L ROAD.

We are glad to see that the citizens
of Belmont County are awakening to
their interests in the matter of the ap-
pointment of the Resident Engineer of
the National Road. The fact is, that
Belmont County pays more toll on this
road than any other County through
which it passes, amounting 10 more
than one fourth of the whole amount
collected. During the year ending
Nov. 18th, 1872, about Si,50s toll was
paid in Belmont County-S2, 900 more
than was expended in the County for
local expenses of the road. Th is to
say, our farmers and the travelling pub
lie pay two thousand dollars to keep up
the other end of the line.
Viewing the question as we do, it
seems TO US nothing more than just
that the Board Of Public Works should
give this County a chance to assist in
the management of the Road.
We have man in the person o. Mr..
r. RIIrs, who, the people are urging
for the position of Resident Engineer,
and calculate that their voice shall be
heard ON this question MIR. KIlTs
has paid considerable attention to the
manage ment of the road. and We are
confident that he will introduce, if he
is elected for the place, much needed
reforms. We imagine that sandstone
will be supplanted by limestone, and
that the general quality OF the material
of the road will be iipruved. We are
of the opinion thata Resident Engineer
at 81 800 per year, could with an ordin-
AIRY amounS of diligence, superintend
all the work upon the road withoutex-
pending s3,432 81 per year for general
Superintendance, as shown by the last
report of the Auditor of State.
We think that Mr.. RITTs' idea, is to
abolish this wholesale general Superin-
tendance business, and keep the road
in better repair, with the money thus
saved.

Lowe in competition with some scala

Lowe in competition with some scala
wags we hear are encouraged 10 apply
for the position, why, for the Lord s
sake let's hear it-I want copy of this
topiniOn to frame. l never heard of a
more suicidal proposition in my life
| What can these men be thinking about,
or are they they thinking at all?--aye,
there's the rub. We have heard of
two at least who have proposals ready,
and perhaps submitted. We know
these chaps and their claims to the pc
sition, and also their fitness for it-and
hesitate not to say that they might
make second hand paupers, with a COM
petent overseer like Mr. Lowe to
look after and take caIe of them; but
to talk of them assuming the RESPONSE
bilities OF Mr. loves oIiice; isn't the
commonest kind of indecent nonsense:
Look at The dollars involved i'll this
tranSaction-and then look at the im-
measurable interests Of the wards of
the Courty, to whom we, through you,
Messrs. Directors, owe debt of duty
which we viii not be slow to discharge.
The people of the county have built a
refuge for their unfortunate, which is
credible to the cause OF humanity, and
they demand it shall be Well and truly
kept-and made tO'subserve the end OF
its construction. Under Mr. Loves
supervision the Intirmary is an honor
to the county and the State; and we
insist it shall not be converted into a
machine for blatherskites to tamper
with. There can be but one reason as
signed for the proposed change-viz:
to save few dollars in salary. What,
with all the delicate and dangerous
steam works, now being considerably
increased, with the lives and well being
of the inmates; talk about removing a
comretent, experienced, sober, moral
gentleman, man who is an honor to
the Institution; and hawk the thing
round, till you find some starved buzz
zard, incapable of sustaining itself,
who for a smaller amount will become
an additional county charge-and call
himself Infrmary superintendent =
Lord save the mark! and call this bus
iness, do you gentlemen. You have
evidently been ass-ociating with some
other philosophers; the custodians of
public printing. Messrs. Directors and
others, if these things seem cruel, we
say you invited the repast, and we
will see you get your fill. 1t is just
now time the men elevated to places of
trust in Belmont county should learn,
if they never did before, that they are
the peoples servants and not their
masters For SO sure as the day ar
rives, the fact will be demonstrated
that ''some things can be done as well
as Others" and that the services of
men who disregard everyconsideration
of prohity and justice to the party that
elected them can and will be very easi-1

The Committee oG Privileges and
Elections in the Senate of the United
States have commenced the investiga-
tion of the charges against Senator
Caldwell, of Kansas, for bribery and
corruption to secure the Senatorship
from that State; and unless the reports
misrepresent the evidence, he stands
an excellent chance of expulsion from
the Senate.
A large number of prominent per-
sons in Kansas have been subpenied
to give testimony in The case. 1t is al
legged that Ex-Gov. Carney has written
a letter in which he says that he knows
oflarge sums of money being paid by
Caldwell and his friends, and expresses
desire to be called to make oath to
his statements before the committee.
We are glad to see that the Senate
has taken hold of this matter ofaIleged
corruption in earnest, evidently intend
ing to purge the Senate if needs be,
and to preserve the purity and honor
of that body.

miles west of Flushing, at the terminus
of the Flushing and Uniontown pike,
it is u thriving place, located about
forty years ago, and has a population
OF about sixty souls. There is one doc
tor, one lawyer, one shoemaker, two
blacksmith shops, one hotel, two good
stores, two tailors, one church, and one
other shop; also good school number
ing tifty-tve, which is conducted by
one of the best teachers in the County,
Mr.. E. 5. Norhies; he has the best
qualifications as teacher that l ever
saw, as governor he can't be excelled,
as an Instructor he has few if any
equals for a young man of his age, and
if any man disputes my word if he
will call at our school any time be-
tween the hours Of half past eight OF
half past four, with the exception Of
half an hour at noon, they will be sat

The health of our neighborhood is

the prospect Ola new mill being erected

to come in from different parts of the

their baskets with them filled with eat
ables, such as fruits, pies, cakes, tur-

partake of the good things that We re in

TO enjoy themselves to their full capac-

were furnished by some of the good
ladies of this neighborhOod, which re-
allied to the Church quite handsome
profit. Quite number of members of
other Churches were present and con-

The Delinquent Land
List Again.

Referring to the illegal publication
of the Delinquent Land List, we find a
decision cited in Swan and Critchfeld,
page 107, note which says:'
"Where delinquent lands were ad-
vertised for sale under a law which
provides that the Auditor should cause
the Delinquent list to be published at
least four weeks, between the Ist day
of October and the 1st day of DeceIn-
ber, and the certificate of the Auditor
showeu that the list was published four
successive weeks, between the 1st hon
day in October and the first Monday in
December. 1t was held insufficient, and
the tax title thereuntO cold, as the first
Monday was not the first day in the
month of October, and the last publi-
cation MIGHT have been AFTER the
first day of December"
There is no doaiH in this ease about
the last publication, being after the
2Gth or eue7l the 2ist Of January. The
ABOVE note is the decision of the Su-
preme Court of Ohio, and applies as
equally as we'll to two weeks as four.
= What then about selling delinquent
lands on the 2lst of January, when
every one knows that the tax title is
cold. ...
The Legislature has wisely provided
for even such case as this. In Swan
and Cfitchfield it is said, In all cases
where any County Auditor by inad-
vertence or mistake shall have this
year omitted or In any future year shall
omit to publish the delinquent list of
his County, according to the require
ments of this act, it shall be his daty
in case the taxes and penalty. with
which the land and town lots therein
stand charged shall not before the 10Th
day of August of the next succeeding
year have been paid, TO charge the
said land and town lots with the said
tax and penalty, ami also the taxes of
the current year and record and certify
and publish the same ar q part Of de-
li'lq,seat list recording to the provisions
of this act"
Now what had better be done, have
sale ofthese lands, when the Supreme
Court says: "Snch sale is void and if
caused as they may have been through
inadvertence or mistake, saUe the
County expense and pass them over to
next year as the law directs; what had
better be done, will some one please
rise and explain? .
tits evident that a purchaser at this
sale can collect nothing except legal
rate of interest from the owner of the
Land, together with the amount paid
for TIE Tax Certificate. 4
