1t is really amusing to see how the en-.
thuslastic youth of the Enquirer attempts |
TO illustrate the faults of Mr.. Henry Perci- |
val as a Sheriff. AS regards the i,lry fund
question, Mr.. Pereval is not compelled to
pay over to his successor the balance in his
bands until the January following the ex-
termination or expiration Of his term. Is

times hurts him, politically speaking
" hen the democratic party refused to help
Mr.. Lowe obtain bond Mr.. Percival yerv
kindly offered to furnish him a bond, on
condition that he would be allowed the
priv egc of conducting the office, which
was nothing more than proper. If n man
