The Board Of Supervisors prefer, we
understand, that the papers In the
county shall Publish their proceedings
after copy certified to by their clerk,
and not by each paper preparing Its
own copy as best 1t could, as heretofore;
and passed resolution to that effect at
the late session. There Is no question
but that this action Is right. Subject
Ing the publishers Of papers at Chase
and Luther to the expense Of coming
to Baldwin and securing the copy
would he almost equivalent to their
paying out all they received from the
people for Publishing. Besides, IN mat
tiers OF that sort, the newspaper pub
Usher IL entitled 10 the copy, after the
publication Is made; as 1t Is his defense,
Ia case charges are made that he has
not correctly published the work given
him to do. We hope to receive and
publish the matter ere long.

SOMEWHAT MIXED. AT the session
Of the Board OF Supervisors, last week,
a resolution was adopted In effect that
the Superintendcnts of the Poor should
present itemized bills for expenses In
Cured by them while IN the discharge
of their duties, to the Board Of Super
visors for audit by them.
While we have 10 doubt of the hon.
Orable and proper intent of the Board
Of Supervisors, yet we cannot see, by
the law, how they can enforce Such
action, depriving the Superintendents
of the Poor of the power conferred by
the statute to audit their own expense
accounts. The law prescribes that the
Board of Supe rintendents of the Poor
shall be corporation, with the powers
of u corporation. 1t further says:
'They shall be allowed such sum for their
of Supervisors Of the bounty shall deem roa,
sonable."
Bat when II comes to the matter Of
expenses of the Superintehdehtsi the
law defining the powers of Superinten-
dents CLAUSE 7th, of Section 1859, An
hotated Statutes,) reads plainly as fol-
lows:
ITO draw, from time to time, on the County
Treasurer. for all necessary expenses incurred
In the discharge of their duties, which draft
shall be paid by him out of themoneys placed
in his hands for the support Of the poor"
This is our understanding Of the law.
If there is an enactment repeating the
latter clause, we are not aware of 1t.
In any event, it seems to. us that it is
proper way for the Superintendents
to be judges of their own expense .ac-
counts. When on duty, they must
bear the expense of railroad fare, hotel
bills, ETC., out of their own pockets in
the first instance, and until the Board
of Superintendent meet to audit the
account. When there are many duties
to perform, expenses are greater; and
to require the Supsrintendents to wait
the action of the Supervisors (who may
not meet but once n year) to be paid
for services and to receive back their
private funds ex pended. would work
hardship. In 80. far rs checking i'm
proper conduct OH the part of Superin-
tendents-the law grants the power to
the Board ofSupervisors to remove n
Superintendent for cause, OIL proper
hearing, aud after due notice, and
afforded him to bc heard in his
own behalf.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.- In the Jan
uary term OF Lake Circuit Court, held
lust week, the following cases were
disposed of:
The People VS. Chns. Romine, assault
with intept to do bodily harm; bail
was declared forfeited; as Romine
could not be found.
The People vs. Jas. Winn; murder;
the prisoner was acquitted.
The People vs Dun. Sullivan, as
sault with intent to murder; the pris-
oner was con Dvicted, mud sentenced to
nine years at hard labor In the peni-
tentiary at Jackson. This case went
to trial ut about two o'clock in the af-
ternoon; and WAS concluded, and Sui
Ivan sentenced before seven O'clock In
the evening. From all reports, 1t
would seem that the accused was ratl-
er of desperate character. At the
time he committed the assault for
which he was convicted, he WAS intox-
icated, and was walking along the
street with Chas. McCray, near Motifs
drug store, when he suddenly attacked
McCray with dirk knife, stabbing
him several times, before j. NJ. Slocum,
NJ. A. Scudder and others interfered
and arrested him. Sullivan was con-
fined in the Jail, and one evening, hid
behind the door as jailor Lucas came
in to give him his supper, and escaped.
Lucas fired several shots after him, and
gave chase; but Sullivan succeeded in
making good his escape. a large posse
was out that night, under the direction
of Sheriff Robertson; but all failed to
secure him. Sheriff Robertson quietly
set at work to find Sullivan, and final
~ succeeded, after several months, in
securing his re-arrest ut Superior, Wis.
He was taken to jackson by the Sher-
lit, last Friday; every precaution being
taken to prevent his escape; as lie was
handcuffed. and shackled after getting
him into the car.
The People vs Chas. Wilson, assault
with intent to murder, the prisoner
plead plead guilty to assault, and was
fined $40, or ninety days at lonia. At
the present writing, he is im Jail here,
expecting TO secure the wherewith to
pay his fine.
The civil cases were rs follows:
