Reply to the Grand Jury. Report

tcpty 10 the GraAu jury ~ Report.
EDITOR SENTINEL: The Grand Jury OF
this county, which has just concluded its
labors, makes what seems to me a very ex-
traordinary report. Among other things.
they enormously assert that a Deputy
Treasurer is now employed, which they al
lege is without precedent in the history Of
the county. Were it not for the fact that
several members OF the Jury actually
know that this statement is absolutely and
unqualiiedly false, we might be constrained
TO allow this assertion TO go unnoticed.
But when the Office OF the County Treasu-
rer has been attended to by u deputy for
the past four years in the banking house OF
the Foreman If the Grand Jury, it will
hardly do for him to plead ignorance Of the
fact. 1t is true that under the old.law the
deputy was not paid 3 salary by the county,
But it is also true that under that law the
Treasurer was allowed n salary and fees,
and commissions ON collections, which fees
and commissions are now paid into the
County Treasury, and the cost Of that Of
fee to the taxpayers OF the county is no
more expensive now than when the duties
were performed by the cashier Of the bank
ing house Of Paxton & Co. 1t would seem
that the Grand Jury have taken especial
pains to impugn the action Of the County
Commissioners in this as we'll as In other
respects, and in 80 doing have entirely dis
regarded the facts in each case mentioned.
with one exception. and that is regarding
the condition Of the County Jail. and in
that matter the County Commissioner are
willing and anxious that it should be m
died as soon as the funds Of the county
will warrant the expenditure.

Chairman Of County Commissioners.

Collector Merritt Retires from the Custom
House.
New YORK, Aug. 1.-Collector Merritt
ex-Judge Robertson took his place. Collector
Merritt, in formal address, turned the office
over to Mr.. Robertson, who made brief
response. Various deputies were then sworn
in. They were those who served in the same
capacities under Merritt.
Collector Merritt leaves his Office without
single suit pending against him, or any appeal
in litigation He took his oath of office as con-
sui at London to-day and filed sureties.
On taking possession of his Office, Collector
Robertson made a short address to the as
sembled officials in which he said, "No living
person has a promise or assurance of an APP
pointment in the custom house, either from
me or from anyone by my authority. 1 will
make no appointments until 1 become more
acquainted with the needs of the service and
then only such will be made as shall best sub

did not think would be long. He claims that
his party desire solely the establishment of

LONDON, Aug. There is an average wheat
crop in England. The barley crop cannot fail
to be an average one Root crops are less
promising at this period than for many years.
Potatoes, however, are as good as the roots are
bad The prospects in Scotland are much less
favorable than in England. The most aus
picious reports of all crops come from Ireland
Commercial Treaty With France.
The London Times says the report that negc-
tiations between France and England for a
commercial treaty were broken off is incor-
rect. Negotiations will be resumed at Paris at
the end of August.
The Irish Land Bill.
LONDON, Aug. Lord Salisbury spoke
substantially as follows in the House Of Lords
to-day:
He agrees to the bill under the circumstances
but will stand by amendments for the inser-
ton of clear definition of fair rent, for ex-
emption OF estate managed on the English
system, and tenancies of over e100 yearly from
operation of bill'and for the maintenance of
the inviolability of leases.
Marquis LandSdowne (Libera) regarded the
bill as an attempt to quell agrarian agitation
by indiscriminate concession of proprietorial
rights.
Lord Inchequin Conservative strongly con-
demned the bill.
The Marquis of Waterford CONSERVATIVE
said the bill was one of confscation without
compensation. The whole history of the bill,
he said, showed that it was really an answer
to the land league agitation. He hoped the
house would very considerably amend the bill
in committee.
Lord Lytton said the bill was revolutionary,
a concession to threats of rebellion and step
onward in a course that must end either in the
dissolution of the connection between England
and Ireland or civil war.
Parnell Named" in the Crmmons,
Mr.. Parnell was "named" for offensive lam
guage and for disregarding the authority of the
chair, and Mr.. Gladstone moved his suspension
for the remainder of the sitting. Parnell rose
and interrupted Gladstone and said he would
not go through the farce of awaiting the vote
as the speaker interfered with the freedom OF
discussion He then quilted the house. A
motion for his suspension was carried by 1872
to IA.
Parnell was named for persisting, in
spite of the Speakers ruling, in raising the
question of the Irish political prisoners and de-
claring the authority of the House of Com
mons was always on the side of power.

We carefully examined and found that our

justified by the induction balance. The ma

show the depth of the ball If it exceeded two
inches. Prof. Bell took it away to remedy
He informs me tonight that he has mastered
the difficulty and will make another examina-

can detect lead at depth of five inches"

We have decided to allow the President to
