The Rockford in Frankfort.

After Osterberg bid off the Rockford
road for the portion of the bond-holders
he represented, he went to Frankfort to
get meeting of the Committee of said
bond holders to endorse his action, and
raise money to comply with the terms OF
the sale, and tc form new company. He
related to the Committee, ESQ his published
report says), that he had been over the
entire line of the road on foot and ex-
amined for himself, and declared that the
estimate made by the Receiver of the sum
of money necessary to put the road in
good condition; was altogether too large,
and that the road was q good bargain at a
much large sum than it was bid in for,
etc., etc.
The Committee then. on the 10th Of

Kreu.

The name of our supervisor, overseer of
poor and member of town auditing board,
is Krell. He is public officer, and his
public acts are proper subjects for his con-
stituents to talk about. Krelps views on
private matters TIE ARGUS has nothing
to do with, nor with the management of his
private affairs, so long as be does not in
fringe on the rights of other people. But
Krelps views on public matters, and his
public acts, The ARGUS, in common with
citizens generally has right 70 talk about,
whether Krell likes it or not. Krell is I'M
happy because The ARGUS has detected
and exposed him in some Irregularities in
connection with his official duties, and he
has refused our reporters access to pub
lie records. KrelPs idea of newspaper
is that it should be controlled by patron
age; that it should not expose public
robber, if that robber takes the paper;
that it's voice should be stiaed by little
job printing; that if he "patronizes" &
newspaper office, that newspaper should
be blind to his official malfeasance, and
that if the aforesaid newspaper dares tt
have opinions of its own, dares to expose
public wrong and denounce public robbers
the way to make the said newspaper 'shu
up" is to withdraw his patronage.
That's Krells idea of newspaper.
