If there was ever spot upon Gods
earth where negroes and Radicals have
had fair chance, and proved themselves
wanting, that spot is assuredly Edgeheld

County complain of not having fair
chance, then absurdity and want of rea-

An Encouragement to Lawless and
Dangerous Glasses.

S4ssSSSSs
We are inclined to think thsre is some
fault in the administration Of criminal law
in this city,-and the chief fault seems to
be in the police magistrates Office. Pc.
licemen may not be as vigilant, sharp and
unremitting in their efforts as they ought
to be-but there is little encouragement
for them to be so unless they are sustained
to the extent warranted by the evil
dence To hunt down rowdy boys and
men and produce evidence of wrong acts,
is no light or pleasant task, and when it is
done such on example should be made of
offenders as will have salutary effect up
on the whole rowdy element. Mr.. Crop
per does not take this course. He should
be terror to evil doers-but he is not.
He is severe enough on simple DRINKS and
dead drunks-but on brutal disturbers
of the peace. fighters, and misdemeanors
generally he is very tender, Why is iii
Does he stand in any fear of the danger
GUS or rowdy classes? Is he pandering te
popularity among those who make W
ward caucusses? This is the way peop's
talk.
Boys go UNPUBLISHED until they grow VI
and become such reprobates that othel
counties send them to the reform schoo
for US. And roughs of our own town are
daily treated with unnecessary kindness
Many instances can be given, but one Of
two shall serve for sample:
The roughs fined $25 each, the othel

quite doubtful, and no certainty that an!
of it will be paid. The scoundrels should
have been sent to Jail till the money wa
paid down.
Take the case of Penland, to-day. Thi
is not by any means, his first offense. HI
was in the Sunday morning riot in from

ney down when called to assist Kimball il

fine. And to day the Magistrate actual

good for it, It is not simple or dea
drunk that the people care about; it is til
rowdies, the fighters, the profane and in
. sulting takers, the disturbers of the pull
lie peace, who give bad example to boy
and who at last turn thieves and BURGLAR
and drag boys along in their downwar
course. Our Magistrates must become

find others who will.

Circuit Court.

The criminal cases are all disposed of.
The case of Masters, for murder, is con-
tinued to next term, as are several cases
of lesser nature.
John Dolan pleaded guilty to larceny.
The jury in the Tim and Mary Riley
case, larceny of $4,000 from Hainsworth,
found them both guilty, and fixed their
penalty at 5years each m the penitentiary.
A motion was made for a new trial.
On leaving the court house, Mrs. Tim
gave vent to a volley Of the vilest epithets
and oaths to court and jury that ever were
heard.
The balance of the jury will probably be
discharged tonight, and tomorrow but
little business will be done. The remand
ter of the term will be DEVOTED to civil
cases.

xRELL HAS A SOFT PLACE,
A County Clerk and q Board OF Super
visors who Either do not Know
the Law or do mot
Care for It

Our supervisor has about as soft thing,
in the way of an Office, as any man we
know of in this county. By virtue Of his |
Office of supervisor he is also overseer of
the poor. For attending meetings Of the
county board he receives $3.50 day, and
mileage. IF he performs any extra labor
on committees, when the board is not in
session, there is an extra allowance for that,
He receives mileage and fees for posting
election notices, and returning results of
elections,-and for various other little jobs
And then he charges and is allowed, in
addition to all this. $3.50 day for attend
ing to town business, such as auditors
meetings, etc., etc.
And in addition to all this he charges
and is allowed $3.50 for nearly every day
in the year, Sundays and all, as overseer
of the poor,-making neat little snug
berth of about 800 year, for very little
labor. This is his third year.
The law under which he claims and gets
$3.50 day, as overseer of the poor, we
hardly think warrants the payment of any
such extrayagant claim.
The consolidated act of 1872, entitled
Fees and Salaries which fixes the COM
pensation Of all state, county, and town
officials, etc.. ETC., reads lin relation to su-
pervisor and overseer of the poor) as fol-
lows:
ss6. The town clerk, supervisor and ousrseer
Of the poor shall receive for their services y pei
day when attending to town business out OF town
81 for town business in their town,
In the revised act in relation to town
ship organization, approved March 4,lS74,
and in force the same day, it is provided
as follows:
Art. XIV Sec. 1. The town clerk and supervisor
shall receive for their services $s0 per day wher
town business in their town.
Observe that in the later act no mention
is made of ouerseer ofthe poor; reference il
lonly made to the supervisors when at
tending to toaon business" The poor bus
mess Is not town business; it is county bus
mess; towns have nothing whatever to d.
with the poor. And inasmuch as no pro
, vision is made in the revised &C
of 1874 for compensation for overseer o
poor, that officer must 60 back to some Law
! which does make provision for his compen
sation. and that is the law of 1872, at s
| day, and only for the time he is attend
ing to the business.
