Chronicle of last Friday replies TO I.
Scott Ansley's letter which we pub
lished last week, as follows, which
makes things look different;
As Mr.. Ansley's letter is addressed
to us, we presume it is in order for
the Chronicle to indulge in a word
or two of comment. And first we
would remark that it strikes us as in
bad taste for Mr.. Ansley to get mad
about the matter and resort to call
ing names. He should remember
that he is candidate for an imp rt-
ant public Office, and that his official
acts while previously filing the posi-
ton to which he now aspires are a
perfectly legitimate subject of pub
lie inquiry and examination. Be
sides, the individual who raised the
inquiry is not "cowardly cur" but
a gentleman of intelligence and eul
turc, the peer in every laudable re-
spect of Mr. Ansley himself
AS to the facts in the case, Mr..
Ansley's memory appears to be some
what unreliable His bill on file in
The county clerks office, and which
was paid by the county, shows that
he charged in the Fitzpatrick case,
"Three railroad fares, Min. PIT to
Darlington and return, $500; hotel
bill, three days, a. $500 per day,
5000; one days attendance on Cir
cuit Court, $1,000; total, SO co."
The bill shows on its face that Mr..
Ansley charged $500 legitimately
for expenses in this case, and $1,000
illegally for services covered by his
salary.
Concerning the $40 for services in
connection with the county board,
Mr.. Ansley seems again to be mis-
taken. His bill reads, "For twenty
days attendance upon the county
board, $40" 1t says nothing about
hotel bills, livery, cigars, or anything
else but "attendance." We make
no pretentions to being versed in the
science of law, but this strikes us as
a pretty fine quibble: the statute for
bids the district attorney charging
for services in advising the board
but he may charge for simply being
present. This is the kind of "reform'
which the Democratic politicians
propose to establish in Iowa coun y
We do all the other gentlemen who
have served Iowa county IN the
capacity of district attorney the jus
tice to say that we believe this view
of the law is Mr. Ansley's own in
vention, and that none of the others
have ever attempted to put such an
idea into practice. They have all
taken it for granted that as the law
required them to advise the county
board without pay (other than theil
salaries,) it required them to be pres.
ent without pay, as they couldn't con
veniently advise the board without
being present.
The above are the facts concern
ing a portion of Mr. hnsley's official
career, together with his attempted
explanation of them. 1t remains to
be seen whether, with these things
before them, the people will choose
to again place Mr.. Ansley in the inn
portant Office of district attorney, in
preference to man like j. = Smell
ker, an able and experienced lawyer,
public spirited citizen of the high
est character, and man who in all
public affairs has always been found
on the side of honesty and true
economy.

Ir has been hlnted to us that one
OF the results OF the construction
aud operation Of the zinc works in
this city will be the organization of "a
paint company. Il P5wibus Uaun,,
Amen! 1t seldom rains, but what it
pours. After some inquiry regard
ing the feasibility of manufacturing
paint here, we find that it can be
doue, and with profit, too. The cost
OF necessary machinery would not
be very great, as the principal out
lay would be for mills. A paint fac
tory would give employ to a large
number Of young people, and so
be great financial benefit to this
community. Our informant stated
his willingness to take $500 worth
of stock, and is practical business
man; he thought it barely possible
that the NJ. p Y Co. might conclude
to make portion Of its product in
to paint, but if it did not it woulC
be asked to sell mill power to n com
pany which would make the produc-
tion Of paint specially. We shall
watch this new project with consid-
eiable interest

YES, per announcement, Burr w.
Jones, the Democratic candidate for
Congress, was here on Friday even
ing, and chatted to large gathering
at the opera house. He was easy on
the Republicans, admiring them for
their many good traits, (thus show
ing his affection for the party of his
first love), but was a tritie cruel in
endeavoring to make his hearers be.
lieve that the Republicans were sole
ly responsible for the passage of the
River and Harbor bill In this he
is wrong, and purposely, too, to aid
III prejudicing voters against his
most prominent opponent. The Re
publicans are not responsible. Did
not the President veto the bill, and
did not hree,fourths Of the Demo
Gratis in Congress and but one-halt
the Republicans vote to pass 1T over
the veto? Now who is responsible? ?

THE REfrT BILL.
LONDON May 15.-Gladstone introduced
the arrears bill. He explained that the bill
was limited to tenancies up to thirty
pounds, Grifith's valuation. Bill TO be
administered the Land Commission which
will be assisted by the County Court
Judge before whom the tenant viii be
obliged to prove their inability to pay ar
rears. Either landlord or tenant may ap-
ply to the Commission. The bill only
deals with two years arrears and requires
tenants to pay one years arrears from
Nov. 1880, TO Nov 1881. When that it
paid the whole remaining arrears will be
cancelled. The Government will contrib
ute the remaining from residue of the
Irish church surplus fund, estimated
amount of which to 1 100000 pounds. Ther
is no reason to believe the claims on ex
ports will exceed 10000 pounds. The
remaining one half million therefore will
be made up from the consolidated fund.
The progress of the bill will depend on Red
ner's present bill which can't be displayed.
A formal protest from number of Irish
Judges against certain provisions OF the
repression bill have been received by the
Government through Earl Spencer. II
recommends empowering special juries to
return verdict by majority instead of the
proposed Commissioners. A dis patch
from Dublin says: Hope of ever dis
covering the murderers of Cavendish and

It's protection, and asserted. on authority
OF the international Revenue Department
the utter impossibility of fraud without
certainty of detection, after spirits has
been deposited in the distillery, because
after it is recorded every gallon must be
accurate; for he argued the bill didn't i'm
pair any existing safeguards and that the
abstraction without detection of barrel of

ton would still be more difficult than alb
straction of the fund of a bank. Morrill,

which the holders of spirits now complain,
would be aggravated by the pending
measure, and argued against the claims by
which it was supported. Window, mover
of appending investigation of alleged cor
ruption, in connection with the bill re-
piled to Becks reference to that matter.
nication read by the senator that $50, 900
was raised by parties affected by
the bill, as to some extent justifying the
investigation, especially when taken in
connection with the fact that this sum was
raised at some time before the bill came to
Congress. We propose to go on with that
investigation, and give those gentlemen
an opportunity to explain. He disclaimed
having even intimated any member of
either house had been improperly infu-
enced or approached As to the merits of
the bill. He would attempt to show at
proper time. 1t would seem to widely open
the door to swindlingthe government more
than any or all projects before a Congress
