Tie the Editor OF the Journal Dear
Sir: Iou will make note OF the fact ia
your paper, that The errors in the last
publication Of tho bills allowed bv the
board % county commissioners OF So
line county, State Of Kansas, were fcw,
immaterial and mostly typographical.
On account of the undue excitement en-
suing, we had three 90 new (adepts) cx-
anime the copy we gave YOU tor publ
cation, and they pronounced the same
correct, with the exception that in try
ing 20 condenSo or 10 abridgc the Dis
uict Court and Justices bills, we had IN.
nocenliy made it appear that Mr.. \.
Bond, clerk of the District Court and Mr..
L. l.. Norton. Justice of the Peace, bad
been receiving more OF the public mon
eys than was usually allowed officers for
like services. OF course it would make
anybody feel bad 10 come SO near 10 re
ceiving so large q sum Of money, and
then not be able TO appropriate it..
We would feel bad, too, under the cir
CumStanccs.
The truth is, the District Cour; and JUS
tees bills which were reported in the
name of Mr.. Bondi and Mr.. Norton, be
cause coming from them } covered ali
the expenses OF their respective courts
in the cases named, except attorneys
fees. Mr.. BondI and Mr.. Norton only
received their due proportion.
In another instance, we reported bill

Ii might have been better 10 have pub

more expensive. and it would not have
thrown any additional light upon the
subject.
