STATE OF MINNESOTA,
OFFICE OF PUBLIC EXAMINER,
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 10, 1880. J

Ton. VIM. Dawson, Chairman Board of Com
nnissioners:
SIR: Since writing my former communica-
ton (which l send herewith) L have been wait
ing for the opinion of the Attorney General re-
ferred to therein. 1t is so voluminous Ito
gether with the lists accompanying which are
necessary to its understanding that have no
clerical force adequate to its double copying at
present. copy of the same is being made to
go with my report to the Governor, who has
the power under the law to publish. Should
he not deem it for the public interests to do so,
will have the same with the lists copied and
sent you for the information and guidance of
your Board. Very respectfully yours, ETC.,
HENRY M. KNOX,
Public Examiner.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1880-04-10

! this sum is marked either 81, " &C." or wv"
Whatever those marks may mean) but these
marks, without reference to any record of
competent authority. cannot seem to me to be
proper final disposition of the sums repre-
sented by them.
The personal duplicate for 1876 still shows
over 700 names with an aggregate of over
$1,000 of taxes yet uncolected, and not mark
ed in any way to show that collection has been
attempted, and the duplicate for 1877 shows
like list of over $50 names, and nearly $4,000
in taxes in the same condition. comparison
of these lists would seem to indicate that
considerable portion of these taxes were good
and collectable. that the same names appear
upon each of the lists, and that several of them
are those of persons in official position, and re-
ceiving either regular salaries from the county
or city, or payments from one or the other on
contracts. 1t seems to me that the taxpayers
of the county have just cause of complaint In
this regard as we'll as in some Others not COM
ing so directly under your supervision officially.
That many of these taxes could, and should
have been collected is evidenced by the fact
that the same persons have promptly paid their
taxes for 1878 into the treasury. 1t is the
evident intention of the law that these personal
lists should not remain open indefinitely, but
that the taxes thereon should be promptly paid
voluntarily or by distraint, and the lists purg-
ed of the worthless and closed up as far as
these are concerned by some valid action made
a matter of record by your board.
VII. Several claims for services have been
allowed by the board and paid which
depend for their validity upon the
Interpretation of the several special salary
acts controlling the proper allowances to OH
GERS in the county. An authoritative opinion
upon these points of construction will soon be
obtained from the Attorney General, which
will be hereafter furnished you for your future
guidance. Respectfully yours,
HENRY NJ. knox, Public Examiner.
P. SIN regard to the sureties on some of
these bonds (of depositories) several of them
are known not to be pecuniarily responsible, or
only for very small amounts. Others Gas those
of the German-American, Farmers d Mechan-
les and Savings banks) are the principal own
ers of the banks themselves, and hence at a
possible time of failure (for protection against
which the bonds are only glven) would or might
be financially crippled at the very time when
they would be looked to to make good loss to
the county and State. I think that the whole
file of bonds should be gone over carefully and
new ones called for wherever the necessities of
the case seem to demand it. Fl. M. K, P. E.

The following report was received from
the Committee on Public Buildings, viz:
In the matter of making certain improve
ments and changes in the County Jail, refer
red by resolution of this board to your COM
mittee on Public Buildings, the undersigned
said committee respectfully report: That
the heating apparatus will require no atten-
ton until the beginning of another cold
season.
TIE plastering overhead in the basement
is destroyed by water from the scrubbing of
the floor above, and would not stay on if re-
placed. The "tinder box" appearance of the
basement is being removed by a thorough
cleaning up of the premises.
The low figure of the tax levy and the
conservatism of the board in some directions
demand report against the putting in of
stone or iron floors at this time, and it is the
opinion of your committee that the loss of
the present good ventilation through the
corridors of the Jail by tho erection of a
stone or brick wall at the rear of the cells
would not be compensated for by
any improvements to be effect
ed thereby in the morals of
the prisoners We consider the accom-
modations now provided for prisoners suf-
ficient for the coming summer. Some plaster
ing and patching should be done now.
We are negotiating for new locks for the
cell doors. Respectfully submitted,
(Signed.) JNo. GRACE,
j. F. HoYT,
JNo. WAGNER,
Committee on Public Buildings.

E1GHTY-Two cadetships at the military
and awaiting the action of the congress
men.
IT is now asserted that the president as
sured General Sherman that General
Miles should have General Myers place as
chief signal officer. General Sherman is
related to Miles by marriage, and has
pulled hard for the brave Indian fighter.
Howgate, the man disappointed in the
scramble for the place, came into proml-
nence two or three years ago with his prof.
ect to reach the North Pole by sending out
party which should become acclimated
before making the supreme effort to reach
the Pole The steamer Gulnare, which
lately sailed from here is the pioneer of
his expedition. Howgate is rich.
CONGRESS, this winter, will be asked to
restore the old paper fractional currency.
The advocates of this measure claim that
ever since the withdrawal of the fractional
currency from circulation need has been
felt of some substitute, not only in ordi-
nary transactions of business, but more
particularly for the transmission of small
amounts through the mails. The post
office department is every now and then in
receipt of schemes proposing substitutes
propositions is one that the postottice de-
partment should issue certificates repre-
senting fractional parts of dollar. But,
as remarked by a high official of the de-
partment. the only substitute for the old
fractional currency is new fractional
currency.

Nike HAWKINS alias John Edwards,
shot and killed William Lane, colored,
five miles from Lawrenceburg, Anderson
county, KY. on the 18th inst. The case
was said to be an old grudge.
DEJERNErrE the young man who killed
had entered on life of shame, and who
first degree, has been sentenced to death.
WM. CAspRRwTCII, the murderer of
Jacob Blackwell, was arrai gned before
Circuit Judge Wentworth, Of Elkhorn,
Wis, and having made a fu u confession,
was remanded to jail to await sentence.
CHARLES P. Cole wealthy farmer and
Justice of the peace, and Frank Goodrich,
both of Pine Run, Mich. have been ar
rested for passing counterfeit money. A
quantity Of counterfeit "fves" on the
State National Bank of Troy, n. Y, was
found in their possession.
WHILE circus parade was passing
through Danville, ILL.,, burglars entered
the residence ofSamuel Bowers, on Frank
lyn street, when none of the family were
at home, and ransacked it from cellar to
garret. They got safely away with a revol-
yer, gold ring and brest-pin. In the after
noon the residence Of w. A. Young, on
North Walnut street, was also entered.

A REMARKABLE tragedy occurred at the
depot in Salt Lake City, on the 10th inst.
DR.. B. c. Snedaker was sitting in car,
when r. T. Smith entered. Snedaker
arose and fired, Smith falling with a bullet
in his lungs. The doctor was promptly
arrested, but before the officer had con
veyed him to the door Smith sprang to his
feet and fired twice at his assailant, both
balls taking effect, and causing instant
death. Smith was removed to the hospital
in dying condition. The two men have
been we'll known and highly respected in
Utah for several years. Smith came from
California and Snedaker from Kentucky.
The feud between them grew out of the
alleged seduction by Snedaker of a young
lady il. whom Smith was interested

In addition to the many duties fall
ing upon the crown prince Of Germany
as heir apparent, he has now imposed
upon himself the task of finding the
remains of certain of his ancestors. 1t
was Thought that the vaults of the dome
and of the old castle at Berlin, with
those at Potsdam and Hohenzollern,
and one or two other known places,
contained all that was left of the Ger
man emperor's forefathers; but recent
ly, when a thorough examination was
made, it became apparent that of two
Hohenzollerns that ruled in the middle
ages, not bone could be shown. The
prince declared, with the knightly look
for which his physiognomy is remark
able, that "hc would see that the bones
of his ancestors found fitting sane
tuary." Much digging is now going on
about the Schloss, at Berlin, where, it
is presumed, the ancestors searched for
were buried.

pie municipal problems, and even
smaller cities are sometimes embar-
rassed. The Boston swill-system is a
very pretty thing. The city has three
ottal yards, into which all the offal is
gathered, houses being visited twice
week in winter, three times in summer,
and hotels daily. The dri er of each
cart drives upon platform scale at the
yard and receives a ticket for the
amount of his load; he is paid at the
end of the week according to the tick
cts he surrenders, which show the work
he has done. But the most interesting
point for Springfield is that from these
depots the offaf is sold to farmers for
pigs and for fertilizer for from So go to
sea cord, according to the distance
they have to cart it. At the Charles
town yard s6 cord is paid, although
even from that point the farmers must
cart it from three miles upward. The
farmers come for it in close wagons,
and pay cash at the Office in each yard.
The removal of ashes. employs 12l
men and SO carts upon similar sys-
tenn, and the ashes are sold for filling
at from 3 to 25 cents a load.

parts were forged by hand, and the re-
suit was q very fair imitation of an
armstrong breech-loading riAed gun.
Doubtless the weapon would not have
stood many discharges of poudre brutole,
but it was quite equal to fair charge
of Cabul powder, and, when nicely pol
ished up, it made very creditable APP
pearance. A large number of small
bronze guns were also cast, and many
of them rifled by hand. Shot and shell
were copied from specimens brought
from India, but the mysteries of the
time-fuse appear to have baffled the
willy Afghan. He succeeded in making
very fair powder in large quantities,
both coarse grain and fine grain, the
percentage of ingredients being the
same as with us, and he turned out
very respectable copper caps, but his
attempts at fuse composition were not
successful, and his shells generally
either burst in the muzzle of the gun or
in flight, or did not burst at all. Large
numbers of Snider cartridges were also
made by hand in the Bala Hissar
arsenal, the cases being "solid drawn"
and thus capable. Ct being reflled ma
ny times. 1t has been computed that
at the time of Shere Ais death there
were about three hundrel and eighty
guns of different sorts in Afghanistan.
We captured two hundred and fifty-six,
or thereabouts, during 1SS9-SO, leaving
one hundred and twenty-four unac-
counted for. Many of these are konwn
to have been sent from Cabul to Tur-
lSistan and Herat, and it is by no means
improbable that some of Shere Ali's
breech-loading rifled armstrong; may
have been forwarded to the latter for
tress, and that thus the presence of
breech-loading guns with Ayoob's force
may be accounted for.
