1t thus appears that during your six years OF

county, while the clerk only reported 2Oss6. In

that the records OF the cour did not mention.

offence. The law, until 1861, imperativey required
you TO report the name OF each convict. You COM

victed In courts OF record, as to wnom there was
but slight dlllerenGe between you and the clerk:

one page OF large paper. 1t was 6eyoad your
had as expert assistance as a man can have in the
commission OF crime, to manufacture enough
names, with other details, to reach the measure of
your fraud. The statute imposes penalty OF $50
for 'any neglect" by the Sheriff to comply with It's
requirements. lassume that this means $50 for
each convict. Ii that be SO and your reports
we're true, as you received pay during the first two
years and three months you were III office, during
over lorty seven thousand alleged convicts that
you did not name you would be liable, II not saved

under your manipulation was reaching immense
proportions. That upright but KIND hearted
officer on the 3lst OF october, 1861, offered pre-
amble and resolution in the Board OF Supervisors,
recltlng the passage OF the act Of 1861 and adding
with equal simplicity and truth that the number
OF convictions reported was 'every year becoming
O heavier charge on our county treasury" He
therefore proposed a resolution fixing the compen-
sation after the expiration OF your then term OF
Office fifty cents for CONVICTIONS the Oyer and
1ermlner and General and Special Sessions and
twelve and nall cents for the police courts. 1t
was referred to a committee but the fraud was too
great, and the committee had to report in iavor Of
the resolution and 1t was adopted.

John Kelly Gives a Sample of
His Reply.

Last night the Mayor resolved to give his long
promised letter IN reference to the charges against
John Kelly to the press. Various reasons have
been assigned Tor withholding it until to-day.
That which found the readiest acceptance was
that the Mayor did not wish to diminish by It's
publication, the chances OF Mr.. Tiden's nomina-
tion for Governor. The letter will be found TO
contain many serious charges against ex-Sherif
Kelly-charges that affect his honesty public
man and his moral fitness as a political leader.
Statistics, which the Mayor alleges are carefully
prepared, and the correctness of which, he says,
may be relied upon, show false returns for the
purpose of obtaining unearned fees. The Ian
guage selected by His Honor is plain and una
dorned, bearing in no instance any doubt as to
his meaning 1t is significant that the Mayor
knowledges he mas made many mistakes.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY DECISION.
A Question Of Rental Determined by
Arbitration.

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 26 1874
The controversy Of several years standing be-
tween the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company
and the Louisiana and Missouri River Railroad
Company relative to the amount of rent to be paid
by the former to the latter for the OF Its road
has been settled by arbitration. 1t appears that
the louisiana and Missouri Railroad Company IN its
enort TO perform its part OF the work OF complet-
Ing railway from Louisiana. Mo-, to Kansas city,
as per contract with the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road Company, not only failed to complete Its line
west OF the junction with the ST. Louis, Kansas
City and Northern Railway at Mexico NO..
but that it has incurred large noating
debt. The most important question decided By
the arbitration at Louisiana last Saturday was
as to the amount OF rent to be paid for such part
OF the ROAD as has been completed. Upon this
point the award provides that the stipulation IN
the original contract guaranteeing . minimum
rental which was based upon the agreement for
an Independent line between the points already
mentioned, shall be abrogated, and that the
Chicago and Alton Company snail pay the per
cenfage Of gross earnings stipulated IN the orig
tnal lease This relieves the Chicago and Aiton
Company or an obligation heretofore existing,
under which, with the present light traffic, they
woud be required to pay Tor the use OF the road
more tnan 1t fairly earns.
