A CoREECTIoN-We are in receipt of a
letter from the Clerk of the County Com
missioners, Mr., II. f. Steiner, requesting
that We make Il correction in some of the fig
urcs used by us in oar comparison OF the an
nual statements of 1882 and 1883. This we
gladly do, the more so, because the error
was not one of our own making, bat was in
the statement of 1882 AS we found it.
The item referred to is that ofthe payment
on the Floating Debt in 1872, which was
published as having been SOL ,S31, whereas
in fact ii was but 81 ,S37.
We are furthermore gratited at the most
excellent reason allowed by Clerk Steiner
for the error it is not always that printers
or others get off so easy as this most tortu-
nate fellow who gets off with even less than
a rcprimand and with a charge no more Sc
rious as against his social or business char
actcr than having Just returned from a Bust
and seen more than Dou6c.'
Yes SIR yes indeed we Gown up that the
printing fraternity sometimes err rs well as
county officials y we like that "as wclas" so
much, that it won us right over to make the
concession. BY the way, we were not aware
that in the matter of figures to which our at
tent on has been called, or any others in that
comparison, that the County Commissioners
were liable to any blame; we did not init
mate as much and we are somewhat at a loss
to understand why Clerk Steiner should re-
fer to erring county officials unless he in
tends to set himself up as a champion Of the
magistrates, constablcs and sheriff in their
vicious cost and salary grabbing under the
law.
We believe that, had the late board ofcom-
missioners been privileged under the law to
exercise any discretionary powers, the cnor-
nous bills taxed upon the county by the
wholesale commitment of vagrants would
have been very materially reduced and judg.
ing from the decidedly reformatory disposl-
ton of the present board, SO far as We are
individually concerned, we might expect
them to go further but unfortunately for us,
unfortunately for the county, the discretion
airy powers of the board does not extend to
the matters Of the large items, only to coan.

THE LANE LICENSE LAW came up before
the house for final disposition Yesterday, but
we are not informed as to the result at the
time of going to press. The chances for its
passage or defeat, are, as we understand
matters, about equal. Friday last had been
the day named for its final constellation, but
it was again put OFT until yesterday.
On a test vote taken last week, it looked
us though the friends of the measure could
count upon majority of about eight, but
the mighty influences that have been at work
since that might readily have doubled that
majority upon the one hand or reversed it
upon the other. We can have bnt little
present interest in its passage or defeat as it
may effect this and other local option dis
tricts in this county, Us they could not now
hope to Get in under the law by any action
to be taken at this late day, but we are Il
friend of the measure and hope for its sue
cess we should like to see it tested and there
is plenty of License territory in this county
to give its strength or weakness complete
test.

Death From Drowning.

James Brown, the owner OF ranch
between Old and New River, in the
vicinity of st. Clair, Churchill County,
lost his lie lust Thursday while in the
effort of fording, ON horseback, Old
River at point above Somer's dam.
The river was unusually high and a
heavy current running, but 1t was the
only point in that section for crossing.
He started out TO drive his horse in
front of him, and it is supposed that
in consequence of The cold water and
his advanced age, being about hfly FIVE
years old, he was taken with cramps
and swept from his horse. Up to the
29th, his body had not been found, but
friends were engaged in searching the
banks OF the stream. He leaves wife
and u large family of children.
