entirely out because he had no orders to
publish it; the fourth was reduced S2l /;

Total reduction, s76,29. Our bills were
calculated at the rate allowed by Law
aud allowed without q reduction of 9

Another little item right here: Coop
RICH published the Delinquent Tax List
last December, and the Auditor to &C
commodate him calculated it before the
return came on from Columbus, and is
sued an order for sl73,32. The Audi
tor of State afterwards sent on his cal
culation which was Sl69,77, but Coop
RICH has yet in his pocket 1856 which
belongs to the tax payers of this coun
ty. Let him return that money 70 the
County Treasury, and explain, if he can
why he did not do 80 last February
when the Auditor of State returned $16s
II as the amount he was entitled to re
ceive. True, the amount, 80 was al
lowed Treasurer MORRIS in his settlemen
at Columbus, 10 save trouble In making
out the settlement sheets second time
but that does not alter the fact that the
difference. 1855, belongs to the tax
payers of this county, and should be re
turned.
We repeat, that with such An unenvi
able record for honesty he ought to b.
very careful about charging any on,
with swindling or unfair dealing, unles.
he chooses to make himself the excep
ton; and that County officials, havins
the record before them, don't feel war
ranted in giving him advertisements, un
less some law expressly requires tina
they be printed in two papers.

RP Poor GOODRICH. He raves and
rants worse than fish woman, because
we exposed to the Democracy Of this
county bis "Republican dodge" covered
with an "Independent plaster" Per.
haps the return he received for the pub
lication of that letter abusing JAMES A.
WATSON, Democrat, caused his unhap-
py state of mind. Then AMOS, of the
Caldwell Press, rasped him and that may
have caused him to rant, and to think he
was not Republican dodge" enough to
hurt, even though an "Independeat plas-
ter" was used TO hide the defornity It's
sad case, and we emplore Brother
AMOS to cease his exposures, as It's
questionable whether the fellow is re-
sponsible in any way for anything he
says or does.
He says of his excessive charges for
county work:
'ln making out our bills for adverti-
sing they have been in few instances a
few cents higher than Vests, but he ex.
planned that himself when he told the
Commissioners "that it was almost i'm.
possible to make bills exactly alike
where there were two kinds of type
used' This was when we claimed we
were entitled 10 81 80 per square for a
certain job of work, and which the State
printer decided was right. Our bill was
81 on more than Vests and when he
made the above remark to the Commits
sioners they allowed him the same
amount"
No such expression as that quoted
was ever made by WEST, as a ten line
advertisement in one paper makes just
ten lines in the other, notwithstanding
the fact that different kinds Of type are
used. And 25 ems to the line is the
standard, for each paper, as fixed by the
Commissioners. The only bill where
there was 81 difference was in March
last when GOODRICH charged SIG and we
charged 6l5 for the teachers notice and
each was allowed, ss presented, without
change.
That $3.50 per square job was the an.
nual statement published last Sep!em.
ber. 1t was plain setting, but GOODRICH,
anxious to save money for the tax pay.
ers! wanted tabular rates, $3.50 pei
square for first insertion and rs cents
per square for the second insertion,
which made his bill S65. Our bill was
S44 for the same work, at S1,00 per
square for lst insertion and so cents for
I'd insertion. His bill was cut down
S21 and each was allowed 344, every
cent the work was worth.
Here are few bills presented by the
two papers:

The announcements now made that

Of this important position the situation
of the Russians at Plevna will become
