Crooked County Omcers.

The board of public accounts for some
days past have had under consideration
the advisability Of appointing a special
commission to give all row Offices in the
county Of Berks for some years past a
thorough ovcrhauling, as the DundOre in
vestigatlon has brought to light SO glar-
ingly the peculiar methods Of some Of the
officers in making up their reports to the
commonwealth. 1t has been represented
to the department that many writs and
processes upon which state taxes should
be collected have never paid any taxes to
the state. The same thing is alleged of
Lancaster, York, Schuylkill, Luzerne, Al
lesheny, Philadelphia and some other
large counties, and the board Of public ac-
counts are holding under consideration the
advisability OF appointing a commission to
visit all these counties and make thor

Of the statement are suppressed, it is known
that Hadley and his associates palned OF
the letter as an original document upon the
Democratic national COMMITTEE" and II
this did not trace it to the Democrats the
item goes on to tell that Davenport is fol-
lowing up the trail, "with the expecta-
tion - of running the game into the Demo-
cratic camp. Senator Barnum sis sus-
pected - of having had knowledge of the
forgery, and sit is claimed" by those
who have investigated the matter, that
subsequent developments will lay large
share of the blame very close to his door.
The concocter of the item writes himself
down as an ass.
IT is to be regretted that among "some
lessons learned" by our esteemed but art
full Republican contemporary, the Neao
Era, that of candor cannot be included.
For surely if cannot be credited with dis
ingenuousncss when in measuring polit-
ical results with "some of the Cameron
claques," by "the length of the political
roll,'' it tries to make it sppear that at the
recent primaries eight out of the ten can
didates "on which it made i direct issue
before the people, were nominated. 1t
knows there was no "direct issue" on
Congress, Smith getting some of Stehman's s
districts very solidly that there was just
as much of "direct issue" on recorder
as on jury commissioner :; no less on SOL
icitor than on prison inspectors, and GER
tainly as much OH delegates to the state
convention as on prison inspectors. In
fact there was moro or less of "direct
issue" between tho two factions Oh every
Office except Congress and assembly in the
city district, and of the successful candi'
dates, as declared by the clerks of the re-
turn judges, eleven were on the ticket sup
ported by the Neao E,a faction and ten on
tho Examiners, but two of the New Era's
were of that class who, it says, "were de-
liberately deceiving when in the assumed
confidence of friendship, they declared il
the most solemn manner that they were
acting in good faith to us, to each othel
and to the public" Wherever Eberly ano
Cline lodge there rests the preponderanc'
of the victory.

THE Brookville Jebtrsonian says the
people Of that region will refuse to con-
slider Mosgrove's declination to run for
Congress again and thereby deprive them
selves of the services of the best repre-
sentative they ever had in that body ; and
to emphasize their appreciation of his
course in the national Legislature they
propose to e.elect him by a larger ma
jority than he had two years ago.
THE Euening Journal of Chicago, re-
ports that "the poverty of the milk re-
tailed to housekeepers" in that city has
caused an investigation, which "develops
the fact that most of the dairy farmers"
in that region "are feeding their COWS on
sugar corn meal an article consisting of
the residue left after extracting the glu-
cose from corn. 1t produces a large
quantity of very poor milk, and costs only
about one quarter of tho price of good
feed. The consumers have no prospect of
stopping the practice, as it does not violate
any law"

A Band Of Glpsies.

A band of gipsies, having with them
three handsome covered wagons with
wide beds containing sleeping berths ON
each side, together with several other
wagons and more than a dozen horses,
passed through town this morning in an
easterly direction. They did not stop and
we did not learn where they intend to
camp; but they will probably sojourn for
awhile in the vicinity of this city.
