Opinion Of the Court by SIMRALL, Gu. j.
This was suit brought by the County
Treasurer of Lincoln county on the bond
of Moore, taX-cOllector. Moore gave his
first bond September 4th, 1872. The sure
ties on this first bond were released by the
Board of Supervisors, on their own appli-
cation, from further liability in December.
1873. On December I'd, 1873, new bond
with other sureties was given by the tax
collector. This suit was against the sure
ties on the second bond. The breach al
legged was that from January 1st, 1872, to
January LIST, 1874, Moore was tax collector
and had collected and failed to pay over
taxes to the County Treasurer to the amount
of SS46 81. On the trial, against the objec-
ton OF the defendants, a certificate of the
County Treasurer was admitted in evidence
showing the amount of taxes for 1873 col
lected by Moore. The objection was that it
did not show whether the money was col
iected before or after the second bond was
given; nor was there any evidence 10 show.
when the money was collected.
The question was also presented whether
the County Treasurer had the right to en-
ploy counsel aud bring the salt. Hetd:
|. The undertaking of the sureties Oh the
second bond was that Moore should faith
fully perform his duties as tax-collector.
not that he had done so; their obligation
related to the future and not to the past
They were therefore only liable for his acts
iFon tue udLe OF the Oond,
III. The first bond covered all deljn-
quencies up to the time when the new bond
was given, and the latter then became sacu-
rlty from its date for all official delinouen-
cles occurring after it was given. (93l5 and
1916, Code of 1871
LII. 1t was necessary, therefore. to prove
that the money unaccounted far had been
collected by Moore, the principal, after the
date of the second bond, IN order to hold
the defendants liable. The certificate Of the
county Treasurer was competent evidence
10 show the amount of taxes collected. and
not paid over (427l, Code 1871, but it was
also incumbent on the PLAINTIFF to prove
WHAT part OF the taxes had been collected
dfter ne dote of the bond sized on.
~. The County Treasurer had no mower
20 employ counsel to bring the suit: he
should nave notified the District Attorney
whose duty twas to institute tho suit. The
BOARD of Supervisors had the authority To
employ special counsel, and if the BOARD
adopts the suit and the action of the TIeas-
. urer' then the Circuit Court may entertain

Cardo2o's Proposition for "a Conn
promise.

Yesterday T. w. Cardozo, Superin-
tendent of Public Education, sent in his
resignation on account of the presenta-
ton of articles of impeachment against
him to the Senate, with the modest re-
quest that said articles be dismissed.
This is certainly an easy method or es-
Gaping the punishment of disqualification
prescribed in the Constitution in the event
he is found guilty. Whether the Legs
lature would have the authority to enter
anol. pros, or to compound with an official
accused of high crimes, at this stage of the
proceeding, is a mooted question. To en-
ter into an agreement ofthe kind with
party arraigned for perjury, peculation,
forgery and embezzlement, is certainly
serious affair 1t will leave the accuser;
open to the charge of having driven the
accused from office under dread OF {
gross partisan outrage.
Should the proposition be entertained
it ought to be on the condition of spread
ing the articles of impeachment, togethe
with the evidence on which they ar
found, on the journals of the House as al
vindication of the action of that body
and perpetual memorial of the wicked
ness of the rule which was overthrow
by the party of reform at the late eleC
ton.

Wanted-A Relief Measure.

"Granger" publishes ringing appeal
to the Legislature for practical meas
ure of relief to the taxpayers He
dwels forcibly on the fact that though
measures have been passed curtail-
ing expenditures, there has been no
bill actually reducing taxes, and that
unless this is done the tax-collectOr will
go his rounds the present year making
the same exorbitant demands upon the
people. Reduction Of expenditures and
reduction of taxes must go hand in hand
in order that the people may realize the
benefits of a change of rulers. 1t is only
in this way that property can be relieved
of the stagnating pressure that now
brushes out its value and confidence
restored. The burden must be raised
from the shoulders of the people so that
they can stand erect once more and take
a new start in the race of life
