TUE Chronicle came to our table thi.
week, laden again with the mootei question
Cf extra pay for members Ct the County
Board, in excess of the statute limitation
of fifteen days. Judge Picrpont says,
tho only difference between Us is rs t,
the mode of payment; that The pILor ho.d,
that County Supervisors Lave claim
against their respective towns for services
rendered in the County Board, while The
Chronicle insists that the County, not the
towns, should pay for snch service. We
would respectfully remind tie Judge that
there is another slight difference which he
failed to recognize. We quoted the
statute in support of oar opinion, and the
law is yet to be enacted which supports has
opinion. Again lie says: Suppose County
Supervisor should return the ten dollars
voted at tho last session, and make cut a
bill against his towL for the amount. II
the other two town supervisors should re-
fuse to pay it, wonld Col. Olms.ed, as
an attorney, advise the Supervisor to
bring suit TO enforce payment" We ans
uer, yts; indeed ice ,c0uid.
The Judge claims We have mistaken
the pulpott of lis former article, while our
peiusal convinced US that the article was
written TO use either way that occasion
might Icqnire-a practice not unusual
in former issues Of The Chonicle; get, our
adm ration becomes more acute when our
own name tgnres in the subject matter.
If the Judge should ask us to endorse
his sincerity in his application of the law
in controversy, eshouid cheerful " acqu;-
esce, rs he has proved it by .hres distinct
Official acts. As member Of The County
Board ffoa Two Rivers, he has heretofore
drawn the extra pay and mileage. As
Couaty Ger. in 1871, he issued orders to
the board for extra pay AMI full mileage
As an attorney supposed to know the
ia1, he has counselei the taking of
the same; thus lis actions corroborate
his argument. We DO not see, however,
that all this can change the language or
force, of the statutes in the premises
The innocent prattle tina, We ars pulling
alongside OF the Deacon rsgardlsss of The
Chronicles honest sndeavofs to unkitch us,
in relation 70 the Publication of Mr. Vel
lLch's letter does not discompose us. The
Deacon may have done generou, act
without fear. favor. or hope ofreward (al.
though our memory eHdureth not). We
published the letter il justice to a political
opponent who opposed the resolution in
the County Board, got his order in full, and
Immediately covered it back TO the County
Ireasures.a and we can inform The Chronicle
that he Is not alone in refunding tbs extra
ten dollars, but We are not at liberty to
disclose names because of promises VIII eh
We presume were exacted IN difference to
The Chronicles strained construction" ot
cheap advertising buacombe'', BY such pub
hcatIon. And, as for ourselves, We fear
We are not sufficiently grateful in view of
the great interest shown by The Chro- !
glcls for our present and future welfare. +.
Ii We had asked for ADVICE we miyat
take such dictation more kindly and hope
The Chronicle will excuse our Maynard .
