The Cecil Whig., 1875-11-20

EB MIR. S. Teackle Wallis returned to
his home in Baltimore, from New York,
on Saturday last, much improved in health,
though great care will yet be necessary, in
order to fully restore his throat to sound
ness. Since his return some of the gentle
men who have been active in the Reform
movement have consulted with him upon
the course to be pursued in regard to the
frauds by which the expression of the will
of the people was reversed. No doubt is
entertained but that sufficient proofs of
the fraudulent character of the election
can be submitted to cause the returns from
the city to be thrown out, if fair hearing
could be obtained from the Legislature.
1t has not been decided, however, what
course to pursue, it being judged best first
to obtain an expression of public opinion
on the subject. To this end the form of
call for meeting of the friends of Reform,
both in city and county, to convene at a
dty hereafter to be fixed upon, in Balti-
more, that expression may be given to the
popular condemnation of the so-called cleo
tion held there on Tuesday, November 2,
and for the adoption of such measures as
may be deemed proper in vindication of
the rights of the people and the purity of
the electoral franchise, is being circulated
for signatures. The success attending this
call and the action taken by the meeting
will direct the leaders of the Reform party
as to the course they shall adopt. 1t is
known that the Ring is already at work
upon the members elected from the coun-
ties endeavoring to secure their votes, but
it is hoped that the proposed meeting will
make such an appeal to the moral sense
of the citizens of the State as to secure
some redress.
Since the above was in type, Mr.. Wallis,
the Reform candidate for Attorney General,
has gwen Gov. Groome written notice that
he will contest the election on the ground
of fraud and iptim idation in Baltimore
City.

1t is currently reported that L. S. Treas
urer New will be forced to resign his pres
ent Office in order to give his attention to
his private banking interests in Indianapo-
lis. There is, however, nothing definite on
this subject, but the impression is quite
general that he will resign.

THIS ONE,
(he always was a contrary" crea-
ture) went in with the Chase fac
ton, and Just see the result!
Salaries Of County Officers.

In last weeks organ appears a
rather funny communication in re-
gard to the recent action of the
Board Of Supervisors, increasing
the salaries of the county officers.
Not single reason is given in the
article, sohy our county officers
should not receive Ifore pay for
their services; but the writer en-
deavors to draw a comparison be-
tween the action of the Board and
the "salary grab" of "our great ma
tional executive legislature and ju-
dicial heads" &c. He must be
new at the business of "writing for
the papers" If the Board of Su-
pcrvisors had voted to increase their
oscn pay, it might give foundation
for the charge of "salary grabbing"
But they did not. They voted to
increase the salaries Of County
Clerk, Treasurer, Judge of Probate
and Prosecuting Attorney. The
salary of Judge of Probate was in
creased 5000 to $3.50; by vote of
5 to B. In voting to give $500 per
annum to the County Treasurer,
there was not one dissenting voice.
Only two voted against granting
$500 per annum to the Prosecuting
Attorney; and only one against
$500 for the Clerk Il Register. We
do not think the salaries of the
Clerk and Treasurer any too small;
neither do We consider the amounts
paid the Judge of Probate and Pros
ccuting Attorney as enormous; yet,
in the two latter cases, the officers
arc not required to devote their full
time to official duties, so would not
be entitled to as much considcra-
ton. IF we were to find any fault
at all, We would say (and speak with
due regard to equitable justice to
the officer in question and the tax
paycrs) that too little difference OK
lists between the salary of the Pros
ecuting Attorney and Clerk. For,
while the Clerk dcvotes his entire
time to the duties of his office, the
Attorney has the chance of trans
acting outside business which is to
him a source Of income equal to or
exceeding his salary.
We think that if "Citizen" will
look into the matter Of salaries paid
to county officials in other counties
he will see that our Board of SUI
pcrvisors were not far out of the
way in their work. We do not ia
vor .cxorbitant salaries, but do be-
licvc in paying price that will Sc
cure rood mon for the Offices.

70 ADVERTISERS The STAR
Chose NJ Volume Two,

With this number of the STAR
closes Volume No. 2; and we nat
urally turn back to the past, and re-
view the ground we have passed
over. Considerable change has
been wrought in Lake county since
the STAR shed its first rays over
her wide-spreading plains, beauti-
full streams and forests. The rail-
road through the county has been
completed, affording the best Of
means for outgoing and incoming;
acres upon acres of wild lands have
been brought under cultivation; new
villages have sprung up, and the
watchword everywhere has been,
and is, Progress"
None but those who have had ex-
perience in such matters, can rea-
lie the difficulties attending the
publication of a newspaper, in a
comparative wilderness. That the
task has been anything but easy to
US, we feel free to say; yet our sup
port has been all we might reason
ably expect. The mass of settlers
in Lake county-as in all new coun-
ties-are poor men; still We have
been nobly seconded by very many
in our efforts to establish a first
class country paper among them,
and to-day feel that we are on the
high road to success.
While improvements have been
going forward in the county at
large, we have not been unmindful
of the interests of the STAR, and
have recently given it new outfit
of type, and with this issue COM
mencc the publication of a weekly
summary of telegraphic news, to-
gether with a statement of the con-
dition of markets in the leading
cities of the country. 1t is and
will be our aim and determination
<o worL tho STAD nm to the stand
ard of country weekly of the first
class, and keep it there. 10 do
this, We must have the earnest CO.
operation of our friends everywhere.
They have our sincere gratitude for
favors in the past, and we trust that
we may receive continuance of
the same in the future. In that
event our success is assured. Exit

THE Legislature has passed an
act providing for the custody and
safe keeping of persons who are
tried for murder and other high
crimes, and are acquitted by reason
of insanity.
1t has also, passed an act, giving
SIS per day to members from the
Upper Peninsula, while serving in
the Legislature. This amount is
the limit provided for by the Con-
stitution. The members from the
Lower Peninsula receive So per
day.
1t has also, adopted joint reso-
luton, providing for submitting to
a vote of the people, in the Fall of
1876, an amendment to the Consti-
tuition, granting an annual salary
of $4,000 to the Judge of Circuit
Court.

IT is stated that a majority of
the Board of Supervisors stands
ready to rescind, at the special meet
ing next week, the resolution in
structing Committee to remove
county property to Baldwin. As
suming this to be true, we would
like to ask the question as to wheth-
or the law would not compel the re-
moval Of county property, after the
people had voted the County Seat
to Baldwin, and the Board of Can
vassers had virtually declared it the
County Seat.

THE organ of last week seems to
be rather pleased than otherwise
over what it terms the location of
the county buildings in Baldwin
averring that there is a division of
feeling between the citizens south
of the railroad and those north of it.
It concludes thus: "HOw will the
Board of Supervisors decided"
Well, we don't know; but would
rather think that it will go to which
ever side you oppose.

The New IiQQQr Law.

On the 28th inst, the act provid-
ing for the taxation of liquor deal
ers, passed both houses, and will
probably receive the signature OF
the governor, and become law. II
provides for an annual assessment
of $3.50 upon each retail dealer in
spurious liquors, and $40 upon re-
tail dealers in malt liquors.
The assessors in each ward OF
township shall ascertain and record
each liquor shop within their terri
tory, and furnish a statement to the
County Treasurer, who shall receive
the tax at his Office on the second,
third and fourth Fridays in June.
After the fourth Friday in June 2
per cent. shall be added for collec-
ton fees.
Ii parties neglect 10 pay their
taxes within the time specified
above, the Treasurer shall forthwith
issue his warrant to the Sheriff, who
shall collect the tax.
Any officer neglecting to perform
his duty under the provisions of this
act, shall be liable to pay fine of
500. Any person liable to pay
the tax, and neglecting or refusing
to do so, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon convic-
ton thereof shall be punished by a
fine of not less than $25 nor more
than 800, and costs of prosecution;
and on failure to pay fine and costs,
be subject to Imprisonment in the
county Jail not less than ten nor
more than ninety days. The pro-
hibitory law has been repealed.

A GOOD deal has been said about
the election on the question of re-
moval being void on account of IL
regularity proceedings. The law
provides that "No County Seat once
established shall be removed until
the place to which it is proposed"
&c. How about a County Seat
which never has been property es-
tablished, as in the case with Lake
county!
The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1875-04-29

THE unsatisfactory state of affairs
in regard to the County Seat seems
likely to continue for awhile longer.
What inducement does the prolong-
alton of the strife offer to persons
DESTROYS of settling in our county;
or for those already here to 60 on
and make improvements? None at
all. On the contrary, it is a posi-
tive detriment to the interests of all
concerned.
The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1875-04-29

AT the present writing (Thurs-
day morning), the County Seat
strife seems to still hang fire. A
lawyer named Dwight, hailing from
Osceola county, We believe, went to
Ludington last night, for the pur-
pose of endcavoring to procure an
injunction to restrain farther re-
moval of county property. Early
this morning Judge Wheeler sent
a dispatch to Sheriff Grant, telling
him not to proceed any further in
the matter of removal until he again
heard from him (Whcclcr), as he
wished to consult the Attorney Cen
cral.
We regret, exceedingly, that the
trouble has arisen, for the only re-
suit we can see, is additional bitter
ness of feeling, and needless; worse
than useless expense to the tax
payers of the county. Two, at
least, of the Committee, appointed
by the Board of Supervisors to SUI
perintcnd the removal, have cndca-
vored to discharge the duties i'm
posed upon them. The orders OF
the Board of Supervisors were that
Isaac Grant, VIM. A. Dcwess, Au.
gustus Towner and j. NJ. Foster be
authorized "to remove the county
property and their Offices to Bald
win as soon as the building pro
cured shall be so far completed a'
to be suitable for occupation

TIE Constitution of this State
declares in so many words that
"The Sheriff, County Clerk, County
Treasurer, Judge of Probate and
Register of Deeds shall hold their
offices at the County Seat" Did
certain two county officers of Lake
county take the oath to Support"
said Constitution? If so, why vio-
late that oath by not removing their
offices to Baldwin?

reasons best known to themselves,
decline to move. What return is
this to the citizens who have re-
posed confidence in them by elect

interests of the people? What
kind of precedent do they evident

Are they thoughtful of the welfare
