that in whatever way our types, presses, and

- We would suggest to the Bulletin, that we
don't own the County Commissioners, and prob
ably never will ; therefore, We have no right to
say what they may or may not do. The law
gives them full control over the County printing
and they will probably carry out the law, as
they understand it, in spite of anything that we
NAV do.

special acts of the Legislature. Primarily the Legs-

an act tChapter 35 laws of 1861 authorizing the
County Commissioners of the respective Counties to

The idea is good one, if carried ont into q per-

rescue of the poor laboring people, whose little
savings go to make up the deposits of these
banks, they will be left to their own resources
By the provisions of Col. Phillips bill, the de-

IT is not clear how the:interests of the
working men are furthered by movements
like that at Buffalo. There men who were
never in the employ of railroads drove the
workmen of the New York Central from
their posts, workmen who cherished no
grievance and had no disposition to strike.
This course, it seems to the observer, will in
crease instead of diminishing the distress in
the families of workingmen. The tyranny
which forbids the laborer to work, to earn
money with which to support his family is
far worse than the tyranny which compels
him to choose between insufficient wages and
no wages at all.
