PUBLIC PRINTING.

49, MEN4
This question was definitely settled last
/ week BY ! decision Of the Supreme Court.
II decides that che public printer Is not an
l oficer. and that therefore the Governor had
no right Of appointment in the premises.
Aquestion has TINS been lit:gated for
/ the last two months without cause except
the vindietiyeness Of the Governor towards
Josiah Turner.
Il was transparent from the beginning
that The public printer i the mere creature
ofthe Legislature. Alllights ofpreeedent,
and all decisions Of the courts had made
that fact clear. Yet sgainst advice, sgainst
precedent, against common sense. Tod r.
Caldwell. has waged relentless war against
thesentinel. 70 the detriment Of public IN
terest and % The injury Of private right.
Verify. We lire 10 strange times indeed.
when private griefs control public affairs.
and wien personal malice oSsl.rides all con
siderations Of public interests.

Gentlemen: Can you inform
the public by what authority the County
Court Of Jefferson is empowered 20 tax the
people to loan the money to private individn-
ais, acting as the Board Of Regents OF the Nor
NAL School az ShepherdstOwn, without respor-
sibility or security of any kind. If the Court
has power TO loan the money Of the people,
would advise it to open regular banking con-
Germ, and give us a chance 20 borrow little on
the same terms. viz: never TO pay. was I'M
der the impression that the law required the
Court TO publish It's disbursements. &c. 1t has
never been done-why2 In the year 1872
there was levied 10 the shape Of taxes the enor-
nous sum Of Ninety-two Thousand, Nine Hun
dred and Sixty-nine Dollars and Ninety-nlne
Cents, and the county orders did not exceed
Forty Thousand Dnlars-which would leave
q balance in the hands Of Sheriff Chase OF near
ly Fiity-three Thousand Dollars. That enor-
nous levy was made, it was said. 20 pay OH
County Bonds and Interest on Railroad Bonds.
I understand that only $4,000 of Railroad
Bonds have been issued and not one single
bond has been paid What has become Of the
$50 900 which should have been passed to the
credit Of the county 90 meet the taxes OF 1873
Il has been consumed or sunk in appropria-
tons, reckessly; and in violation Of authority.
until only SO, 900 remain in the sherffs hands,
aud to make clean sweep-S2O0O of that is
given TO the Shenandoah river improvement,
and 81 600 10 the State Normal School at
Shepherdstown and that in the face of the
fact that the people of Jefferson are already
taxed by the State over $4,000 for general
school purposes, and we do not receive over
$4,000 oft back This sum Of SO 600 is ex-
elusive Of District and County tax for school
purposes. The Normal School is deserving
and would like TO see it prosper but do not
believe the County Court has the power to tax
the people to give their money 10 any charita-
be or lsudabe purpose, either with or with
out their consent.
