Mr.. EDITOR IL read an article in the
JOURNAL of the 23d that is calculated to
mslead many that do not know the cir
cumstances OF the case, or what brought
it out. mean the article censnring the
Sentinel for referring to the affairs OF the
Troy Township Treasurer. In the first
place the Sentinel mentions but few o.
the facts and comments on them as mildly
as possible, and 1t has the documents 10
prove what it says, and much more, while
you have hut little. That is what think,
after having seen the report of the School
Com. Examiner, in which he says, that
there is "Sl 400 of funds loaned out in
good notes, that lie can call in in ten
days" Many of the taxpayers OF Troy
have known this for ten years, and have
spoke Of it, and been hooied al for 1t, and
what makes some OF the JOURNALS old
subscribers squirm is, to see it whitewash
some of them and their doings.

The transaction involving the $500 was
doubtless honestly done, yet clear viola
tion of the law. But the S1,4C0, loaned
out to John, George and J. b., (not TO Tom,
Dick and Harry,) and others, has been for
the purpose of keeping himse elf in office
"just one year more," and when an inves-
legation was had, then he concluded that
he did not want ii any more. There are
| few Republicans who have had such ia
vors of him, and they worked for him, be-
cause of their obligations. Many Of the
signatures were not taxpayers, and some
were from other townships, and some from
other counties; many OF them was got at
our saloons, not churches. ! have been
told by some of them that did sign the pc

If they had chance, for they were de-
