LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

signed e. P. Sine. 1t is ostensibly in
answer to an article which appeared in
the RECORD on the 18th oil January last,
headed .sThe Tweed Family in Bel
mont The article charged two Federal
officers in Belmont with the misappro-
priatiou Of moneys paid by inhabitants
Of Lincoln county for the General Gov
eramept and OF which no account has
ever been given. The charges were suffi-
GENTLY specific, and was sustained BY
fine afiidavi.s OF respectable settlers on /
lands in this county. The charge made
by us against - Granger. Register. |
and L. z. Sine, Receiver. These two |
worthless were then law partners, and |
some Is months ago Granger visited |
Phoebe, and while in Lincoln county the |
collection about which complaint has
been made was received from people set.
lied on Government lands. Sine goes
on 10 say in his communication that las
Receiver he defes any person TO show
that he ever received any money or
moneys from any person in Lincoln
county. 1t is true that Sine, ''as Re-
ceiver," may never have received any
money from settlers in this county, but
his law partner and fellow Federal off,
Ger did receive moneys, and il lie tGran-
ger) appropriated the same TO bis own
use, without the proper dividend, Sine
should say SO in plain terms, and not
seek to create false impression. The
truth is that Granger put up the jobs;
Sine was his business partner: and when
their nefarious acts came to be unearthed
I'D Jumps Sine and swears that HE was
not the guilty party. II the firm of
which be was member has acted fairly
throughout, why does not Sine make
that assertion boldly. And if his part
ner betrayed him, why does he not ex-
pose his faithless conduct? But he does
nothing of the kind. He simply says
that he is not to blame, that he never
received any money, etc, but as his
partner did, he becomes an accomplice
and cannot clear his skirts except by
turning States evidence. As for the
private matters between Sine & Granger
aud the REconp Office, it is sufficient to
say that there is balance in our favor,
which may be paid to Wells. Fargo d
Co., Belmont, TO which Office the ac-
count has been sent for collection.
Town misunderstanding like a
year ago the question of applying to
Phoebe the provisions of the Act provid-
ing for the government of towns and cit
les of this State, was discussed, but be-
fore the necessary steps were taken by
those who favored the proposition the
County Commissioners had fixed the
amount Of taxes for the year then ensu-
ing, and SO, there being no way Of pro-
yidipg revenue to support the town gov
eminent. it went by default, As the
Board Of Commissioners will, on the first
Monday in April, fix the amount OF taxes
for the ensuing year, now is the proper
time to present the question to public
notice. The Act conters upon the Board
of Commissioners the powers of Board
of Aldermen, restricting their power to
lew taxes to any sum not exceeding one
per cent. per annum; but the Act can
have no effect in any city or town before
there shall have been filed in the Clerk Z
office Of the county in which the same is
situated written petition for the appli'
cation of the Act to the town or city,
signed by majority OF the actual resi-
dents OF the town or city. representing al
least three-ffths OF the taxable property
We have not called attention to this mat
ter for any other purpose than to ADVISE
persons Of the mode of proceeding II
case town government is desirable
The question is now again before tn
people for their elaboration.
