A Communication

The following was sent us for publi-
cation, and is from the pen of one of
the oldest and most respected citizens
of Chase township. 1t has the true
ring Of the quiet, peaceable and law
abiding man, who IL ever willing to
abide by the wishes of majority; and
further, we believe fairly expresses the
opinion of other liberal-minded peo-
pie i'm Chase township:
"When we attach our attention to the
County Seat question, we are con-
strained to believe that If all of the
facts in the case had been presented to
the proper authority, the injunction
never would have been issued to pre-
vent the wishes of n majority of the
people of Lake county to move their
county property and records to Bald
win, place designated by them for the
County Seat. The Board of Supervis-
ors had appointed a committee, and
directed them to move the county
property and records to Baldwin; part
of the records, as l understand, was
moved there; then came the hidra-head-
ed monster, called the injunction, limp
ing along OH the legs of the law, and
for what purpose, except to prevent a
majority of the people of Lake county
from minding their own business in II
legal manner? Can any one tell what
other purpose it was for?. tIf they can,
it is more than can do.
"Let us go back to the probable cause
of this injunction. 1t is believed that
a few men in this township of Chase,
are willing to sacrifice the public in
terest to crafty their own selfish end;
consequently it is further believed that
an undue amount Of dubious truth and
false insinuations were presented, to
obtain the injunction; and it is expect
ed that the Judge will have it discon-
tinued.
"Soon after the vote was taken to re-
move the County Seat, there was u
common report here, that Pleasant
Plains township had taken illegal votes
for the removal of the County Scat to
Baldwin; for (said the report) the in
crease of votes there, since last Falls
election, was over fifty. Now, if an
increase of votes since last Falls cleo
ton is an indication of illegal votes,
then Chase and Yates townships might
come in for full share, for Yates pollcd
nearly double the number given last
Fall, and nearly all of them were
against the removal of the County Seat
to Baldwin. The increase of votes in
Chase was over fifty, and all of them,
except six, were against the removal
of the County Seat. l do not pretend
to say that there were illegal votes cast
either for or against the removal; but
if an increase of votes since last FALL
is a sure indication of illegality, then
there were more illegal votes cast
against the removal of the County Seat
than there was in its favor.
