TO the Hon. William H. Handy,
Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas, of Henry County, Ohio.

Il
SIR: We the undersigned Committee,
heretofore appointed by you to examine
and investigate the detailed report Of the
Board of Commissioners Of said Henry
county, OF their financial transactions for
the fiscal year ending August 3lst, 1889,
respectfully submit the following as the
result of our investigation: We have care
fully examined all docket entries, bills, or
ders redeemed and Cancelled, the order
stubs, and all evidences of their action in
the disbursements of funds belonging to
the county, and that to aid us In our in
vestigation VT called before us by sub
poena the individual members of said
board of commissioners and the Auditor Of
said county and examined them under
oath touching all matters not clearly
shown by said bills and vouchers, as win
more fully appear by the appended cost
bill, from all of which we find that every
statement made by the Commissioners in
their detailed report, is substantially cor
rect. During our investigation we also
made careful examination OF the statutes
of Ohio, bearing upon the question Of the
right Of the Commissioners to allow the
various bills presented for the several pur-
find that in ell cases they were properly
and legally allowed and paid.
We have also carefully examined the
provisions of Sec 9l7 Of the Revised Stat
ntes of Ohio, and are of the opinion, that
il so much Of said report as Is contained
on pages one to fourteen inclusive, be pub
ished by the Commissioners, 1t viii be IN
strict compliance with said section, and
we hereby recommend that so much Of
e said dreport be published and no more.
We would respectfully suggest to the
Commissioners the propriety OF observing
the provisions Of Section 1853 of the Revis-
I ed Statutes, as TO the reserve fund provid4
Ded for therein, to the end that q more me
+, thOdical and satisfactoryway OF paying
for needed supplies for inirmarE purposes
may be adopted. ,ryi9ss. ~ ..t;.,F s
We think It eminently proper to say in
closing this report that the books, papers,
dockets and journals kept by the Commits
, sionefs and Auditor for the fiscal year COW
cred bylouf Investigation are exceptional
ly good, and busipess-like, and show upon
their face disposition to make all their
financial transactions clear and unequivo-
cal. |i ''H 3f8i+ 'A's
We are of the opinion that the Law con-
templates that the Auditor In making out
the notices OF apportionments In ditch
cases, make them in tabular form, so that
each person assessed may know the am'nt
assessed against every other party inter
ested in the same ditch, to the end that by
comparison, he may know whether or not
be has been justly assessed,
Respectfully submitted.

A Typographical error in the
Times Democrat last Sunday made
Mr.. Cardinal. sheriff of St. Martin,
say in a letter 10 Mr. Douphin, pres
ident Of the La. State Lottery Com
pany, in which be asked the assis-
lance of the lottery to provide with
cotton seed those Farmers who had
lost their seed from the overflow,
that he (Gardeimal) could get seed
for $50 a ton. This error, OF course,
corrected itself, but to prevent any
possible misinterpretion, and in view
Of The fact that the AbbeViOe MEPI.
DIoNAL pretends net to see that it
was a typographical error, we would
mention here that Mr.. Cardinal
in his letter mentioned SIC 8 ton
as the price at which the seed could
be bought in Ut. Martinsviile.--
Times.D Democrat.
Now, if the Times Democrat viii
permit, we will remark that the
assertion that this paper pretended
not to notice. there was an error in
regard 70 the price Of the cotton
seed, is decidedly discourteous to
say the least of it. The I'D. IS a
lotterytpaper, and if the proofreader
allowed such an error to pass, it
mightshaEe corrected it. But it is
just possible that 75O sacks OF sixty
dollars-a.toD cotton seed SQUADS like
princely liberality on the part OF the
lottery. This paper never inten-
tionally does any one injustice. and
We dislike being accused Of evil
intentions when we are only in
search of the truth.

The 9origiual package" decision
of the United States Supreme Court
in the Iowa liquor cases would lead
to rather awkward complications If
literally carried ont in its general
application to interstate commerce.
1t virtually holds that as long as
goods shipped from one State to
another remain in the original
packages, they are subject exclu-
sively to federal control. and that
the authority of the State, indepen-
dent of congressional legislation,
begins whenever the package are
broken. Thus a bottle of liquor
shipped from New Yosk to Iowa
may be sold in the latter State
without paying local license, and so
of course with all other merchandise
as long as it remains in original
packages. Then, as soon as the
packages are broken, the State
assumes exclusively control, as the
contents, being merged IN the gen
eral mass of merchandise, are
thereby removed from all interfer.
encc By federal authority. Any
State might therefore levy so high
a duty or tax on agricultural or
manufactured products brought from
another State and offered for sale
at retail as to be prohibitory, and
neither Congress nor the United
Supreme Court could inter-
pose any constitutional projection to
the State thus placed under com
mercial restrictions.-SeDtinel

An important election law pass
ed by the New York Legislature
has moi been much noticed, vet it
is an important supplement to the
reform ballot Law. The system Of
personal registration of voters.
which applies to only New York
and Brookly. is under the new law
extended to all the cities OF the
State, twenty eight in number, while.
the system hitherto used in these
smaller cities. registration 10 person
or through a friend, is extended to
all portions of the State. Ia this
way the entire State is brought an.
der a complete system of registration.
There has been much fraudulent and
corrupt voting Ia the county dis
tricts that win be difficult under the
new election Law.

OUR RE4EG4DE LEGISLATORS

IF ever a State has been afflicted
with the curse Of official imbecility,
poor Louisiana certainly can claim
the preference and take the blue
ribbon when she produces the crowd
Of bummers who are now assembled
in Baton Rouge in the State house.
When a mar accepts a position Of
trust and responsibility, it is his
duty TO attend to the business at
tachiDg tothis alice and that solely.
The Legislators are in Baton Rouge
about four days'out Of the seven
the balance Of the time being spent
in New Orleans and on the road.
The m~embers.of the legislature were
elected to stay at Baton Rouge and
transact the business Of the State,
and not be frolicking elsewhere.
The men who are guilty Of this
criminal and scaDdaIous neglect of
duty, we are sorry to say, arc largely
in the majority in both the Senate
and House. They should be placed
on record as Senator Avery had
the recreant Senators last Friday,
when he called attention to the fact
that a number Of members had de-
serted the Senate chamber before
the business of the senate had been
completed, and he desired that those
whosremained be placed on record.
The roll was caIledi the Senators
present were recorded as follows
Amacker, Levert, Montgomery, Pro-
vost, Robson, Avery, Foster, Heard,
Lott, Philips and Vance.
Now, where were The absent sen
And what were they doing ?

members of the House answered the
