Editor Statesman SIR
Your reply lead with pleasure and
contents noted. You say: Honor to
him to whom honor is DUE" so say I.
You further say that the payment
of the County debt was due tc the ex-
celleDt administration of the present
Sheriff. That's wonderful indeed |!
Did the present Sheriff turn philan-
lthrophist, put his hand in his pocket
and pay the debt of the County, or
did he take the place of the County
Court, lay levies and approve or dis.
approve of orders, &C., or did he only
discharge faithfully the duties of a
Sheriff? If the latter then give him
the honor of good Sheriff. but not Of
being the means of paying the Coun-
ty debt. To prove that the honor is
not due to the present Sheriff, bat due
to M. Kitchen, we will take the fig
ures for it. For instance, the fiscal re.
port of Berkeley County of May 31st,
1886, preceding Mr.. Kitchens cleo
ton, we find the assets of the Coun-
ty $28, 1885. expenditures S30, 082, 23,
showing that the County Court ex-
pended ST 1865 more than its assets.
Remember, please, the present Sheriff
was Sheriff then and no debt paid.
But after Mr.. Kitchens election we
see quite change. Take the assets
and liabilities of Berkeley County of
May 3lst, 1883, and we find assets
S3l ,579 48, expenditures $24, 416 20, or
a saving to the County of $7,363.19.
Why did not this marked saving of
money occur the two years preced-
ing Mr., Kitchens election, you had
the same Sheriff then you have now :?
Why did not the County Court make
this change before Mr.. Kitchen was
elected? The honor is certainly due
Mr.. Kitchen as facts and figures will
make you admit. 1t was upon these
grounds that placed in nomination
Mr.. G.. P. Riner to assist Mr.. Kitchen
In this good work, not from Demo-
cratic or Republican standpoint, but
that the taxpayers need men to fill
said Court that can save over 81, 900
as the income of the County. Now
friend Colston, be kind enough to
show by figures how and when the
present Sheriff had anything to do
with paying the County debt.
AS regards the preceding Sheriff, If
he owes the County or State, or both,
why do not the proper authorities
make him or his bondsmen, pay what
they owe? If the County Court or a
Court acting in lieu thereof had taken
a properly secured and legal bond of
the Sheriff in question, then what
trouble could arise? But if they fail
ed to do so, then the fault lies
with the County Court. The County
Court can demand a bond of from
twenty to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars of the Sheriff, and
that bond must meet the appreciation
of said Court. Acts 1881, page Is,
chap. X, sec. Is. Has the Sheriff of
ten years ago paid all he owes the
County, if so, when? Your friend,
A. J. LANCASTER.

patton of the federal ofIiceholders in the
fight, and by the promises of reward
made by them to members OF the COM

The Speaker disClaimed any power to

CHICAGO, April 5.-rhe quietude
which followed the attempt to boycott

to-day by a rumor which gained ere
dencc among the more radical Of the
Burlington ex-employes, that the brake
men on the road, in conjunction with
such yard men OF the 80" as are known
to be loyal to the Brotherhood and the
Switchmen's Union, were preparing for
a shut.dowR along the whole line. They
contended that the impotency Of the
attempt of the switchmen in bringing
the 20" to terms resulted from u lack OF
concerted action in that the men went
out only here and there, and that with
the aid OF those who remained with the
company the Burlington soon had its
road in running order again.

THOSE REBEIIiOY RECORDS.
Tho snarl Over their PubllcatIOn-Gros,
vsner's Proposition.

Tho Snhrl Over their Pnbllcation-Gros'
vener's Proposition.
WASHINGTON, April ga snarl is on
over the publication OF the records ol
the rebellion, which threatened to haz'
zard the usefulness of and interest in
those ever popular documents. The
discovery some time ago that extraneous
matter was being incorporated into the
war records led to an investigation by the
House Committee on Military Affairs.
The investigation has so far been una
bic TO locate the responsibility OF the
trouble. It is shifted from officer to
officer in the War Department, and when
the inquiry closes there will be no
more light upon the subject than there
was at the moment OF discovery. Along
with the investigation come prop
osition by Representative Grosvenor
that the committee look into the feasa-
bility of the publication being placed
and kept under control OF joint COM
mittee of Congress. The suggestion
meets with good deal OF favor and
may be adopted. But it will furnish no
relief from the abuse now under con.
sideration, rs the joint committee will
necessarily be subject to changes every
two years, and its politics will shift with
the compilations OF the two houses OF
Congress, making matter OF partisan
color more marked than at present.
