Taxation and Representations
Gloomy Prophecy,

/. Our political system doesn't
work fairly.
2. The non-taxpayers have many
more votes than the taxpayers have.
3. 1t falls out that the non-taxpav-
ers outvote the taxpayers, even If
all the taxpayers should vote.
4. The non-taxpayers have chiefly
one object, !. e., big tax, because
If large sum is raised they stand
a good chance to get hold Of the
money.
S. This operation has been going
on for years in this county, and it
IS likely to 90 on until property be-
comes confiscated.
9. This is a fearful power, and it
is in the hands of those who don't
pay any taxes, but have everything
to hope from excessive taxes.
7. SO, it comes to this, that those
who own the property are power
less, and arein the power of those
who own no. property.

State He is a numerous office
holder and serves for pay and gets
it. When on the County Board he
got five or six hundred dollars year
extra allowances, without author
ity by law. AS School District Treas
urer he has bad the trouble of taking
care of two or three thousand dol
lars a year.
James S. Ritchie, Esq, a home

nothing to do with the office; when he

to the duties of his office, except
the duty of drawing his salary,

Vincent Cournoyer, a gentlemanly
young man, is the ring candidate.
This is the only financial office not

Quite likely DR.. Laffitte, the

Court. AS an expert and ready
writer he Will afford the ring and
available candidate. His accustom-
ed double pay as town Clerk being
about to be stopped a new Office
will be quite acceptable to him.
His qualifications are quite up to the
average for any office when dis
qualification is no objection. As
town Clerk he has never had his
tax roll done in due time, order or

Apologetical.

The modern newspaper editor in
the line Of duty, free from the tram
mels of party, holds a higher and
more responsible ofice-that of
cenSor-than any other, pensioned
upon the public. His popularity is
of more value to him than to the
annual office-seeker for his bread
and butter comes from voluntary
contribution, while the office seeker
designs to obtain his emoluments,
will ye nil ye, from the forced tax
payer. To some extent the pub
Usher becomes one of the latter
class, as regards public advertise
ments-and for these he is to be
paid his laacf~l fees.
Our bill for publications, requir-
ed by law, was duly allowed by
the Comfy Board and orders upon
the County Treasury were issued
to us; and the same was added in
specific amounts to the delinquent
taxpayers property but in no
way a burden upon the prompt tax
payer. In other counties these
printing fees are collected for the
printer; but here, to our surprise,
our fees went to pay any or all sorts
OF other claims against both county
and town as well as all sorts of
e;rtr0 and unlawfully issued orders.
Upon investigation we learned
the following facts-that our fees
were being subsidized to the pay
ment of not only older but younger
claims than ours that about 81
10000 Of county orders had been
presented and registered, which bv
law should be paid by the Treasurer
before ours; that regardless of the
registered orders the Treasurer was
daily redeeming unregistered or
ders, aud orders drawn in. anticipa-
ton of taxes to be levied for the
year 1856. Hence, we confess
our ignorance OF any means what
ever of how or when we could ever
obtain our pay under the course
being pursued by the Treasurer.
Our pay we mast have; and the
laws which authorized the lndebt
edness, authorize a judgment and a
direct and specific tax to pay it.
Suit was broughs; no defense cenld
be interposed-e1cept the one chat
there cere .funoS in the Treasury

There is an insinuation about as
currant as County Orders that the
County Attorney and we are in col
lusion regarding our Judgment

many officers are under suspicion it
is not strange that Judge Clark
should have his share. We confess
to our suspicion of him; the is
IN collusion with the Treasurer is
evident, or he would have inter
posed some sort of law proceeding
to compel the payment of our claim,
as we believe he is in duty bound,

II is becoming more evident
every day, to the honest, fair minded
and thinking citizens Of Supe-
rlor, that the reputation and pros
perlty of our county depends upon
relieving it Of the barnacles that
are fastened upon 1t. Matters are
getting worse and worse from year
to year. Every violation of law in
the execution of the trusts imposed
upon our public officers is taken as a
precedent and incentive for further
breach, until it has become motor
ious that school and county funds
III the hands Of those intrusted
with their safe-keeping, are claimed
to be, and are, used as the personal
property of the individuals while
every attempt to investigate is
either voted down by those in the
interest Of the parties, or openly re-
fused by the proper authorities
whose duty it is to bind them to &C
count.
4 large portion of the town and
county orders aioat are issued
without regard to law, and the bal
ance, outside of salaries to County
officers, at two to three dollars for
one, to keep the inoumbents popular
with the masses who constitute a
small majority of the voting popula-
ton. Of this majority three fourths
are devoid OF either property inter-
est or intelligence sufficient to make
them indedendent voters, and are
content to be lead like cattle to the
polls, to deposit their votes at the
bid of these parties, for the sake of
the whisky they give them, the
promise of few days work, sack
| of flour, the purchase of their
worthless orders, or any other thing
they choose to offer.
To accomplish their own selfish
ends there are few men with these
leaders that ought to be ashamed
of themselves, were they not fast
tumbling TO the same common
level. And as it seems almost
hopeless to expect relief from the
present order Of things except by
the strong arm of law, until some
turn in fortunes wheel brings a
different population here, it would
be well tor these men, should they
hope to see that day, to consider
the standing they will then have
with this old pitch sticking to
them.

Balance in Treasury July Is, 1875 S4,OOO.71
And such was the state of the
County Treasury on the 18th dav
of July last when we presented and
demanded payment Of our orders to
the amount of S687.5O and payment
then and there refused; and there
upon we sued the County.
The amount of registered orders
at that time, prior to ours. was
s2,3O2.94 leaving nearly seventeen
hundred dollars in the Treasury to
meet our claim.
And these are the facts which
constitute this our humble apology
for suing the Countrywide can
blame US?
We sincerely hope direct tax to
pay us will be avoided; and it will
be, if the District Attorney and
County Board do not shirk THEN
duty, but compel the County Treas
urer TO pay us; /; and thereby save
the taxpayers from an unnec essary
burden.

It seems strange that, at this day,
in a free country like this, there should
be any necessity for a law to securs to
the citizen the right to give to his sons
whatever trade he or his sons may see
fit to follow. Yet a resolution went
through the Pennsylvania Senate the
other day, instrueting the Judiciary
Committee to consider and report such
legislation as viii fully protect all per.
sons within the limits of the Common
wealth in their right to acquire useful
trades. Although adopted unanimously
il the Senate, the resolution was de.
feated in the House, but will probably
come up at the next session. The &C.
casion assigned for such legislation
are the regulations enforced by many
of the Trades Unions limiting the
number of Of apprentices. This sys.
tim is borrowed from similar associa-
tions IN Europe, where crowded popu-
lation and the instinct Of self-defence
may perhaps justify it. In this coun-
try there is less reason for it, particu-
larry in the South, which needs me-
