gW~ The Union Herald states
that Attorney General Nj elton is up
and nearly rs we'll as usual. This
is gratifying intelligence to the half
starving teachers and paupers Of
Fairfield. III. Melton is .,snch q
deyotet Ssfgshtsof ;theSS3 State that
he would permit no one else to ap-
pear for it in the $4,000 reference
to be held here. Had he been less
jealous, the reference might have
been conducted while he was lying
i'll at home. 1t is to be hoped that
this reference will be Immediately
held. In the name Of the people,
we call upon She School and County
Commissioners to have the matter
attended to at once.
What a. commentary on affairs
here. Eight thousand dollars of the
public money Is deposited in the
Bank, which is not concerned in the
matter, except it is making good
interest of this deposit, while needy
craditors are put off Until it suits
the Attorney Generals convenience
to appear. : #0( ~-..G -. -
