..BuNaLE" AND DOODLE

The Bathgate Democrat, last
week, i'll a loose rambling way,
reiterates it's changes against the
commissioners, particularizing Mr..
Vaughn, as bungling the seed
wheat business. About the only
point that can be fished out of this
sea Of slosh is, that the commits
sioncrs did not act OH the first pcti.
ton presented to them.
There is 10 doubt, but that the
commissioners themselves, would
haye seen to having the conditions
Of the law fulfilled, so that they
could have acted, if they had rea-
liked that there was enough desti-
tuition TO warrant action on their
part. At that time, the last week
i'll February, no one had inycsti-
gated sufficiently, to know the true
condition OF affairs; the petition
submitted was largely signed by
individuals who did not need seed:
there were but seventy-six signers
altogether, and the petition was
filed one day too late. The petit
ton being thus daiicient i'll two
vital particulars, viz: A sufficient
number Of signers and i'll time OF
filing, and not showing any great
destitution, the commissioners
thought best to not attempt to
bond the county, under such cir
cumstances. This may have been
a "bungle, or may not, it depends
OH how green the spectacles of the
critic.
The Democrat also says it was IL
bunglc because the commissioners
Raye given orders on our own
Us or on any elevator desired;
Ks it would have been bet
the county to have bought
Wheat and dealt it out them
AS i'll the former method
: no charges for handling,
using, as the farmcr goes
: ncarliim, chooses his

e and quality; it might
Cult for any one else than
emocrat to discover fault,
the other way would suit the
yinocrat better because it would
hen have 10 trouble i'll crying,
ss.It's a steal, it's steal!'
The fact is, that in this whole
matter, the commissioner have
worked faithfully, at business
which required a large amount OF
Judgment and foresight, for which
lIthty had no precedent, and the
methods Of which they could un.
|oubtedly improve upon if they
lad it to do oyer again. Perhaps
heir best praise is that the editor
the Democrat can find nothing
~ against them, though he
Ihas the opportunity given him

Frightening Up Considerably.
The Executive Committee of the Scotch
Irish Congress and the International Sun
day School Association yesterday held q
joint meeting at the Office of Colonel ]. w.
Echols, in Power Hall, and opened bids for
the transmution of Machinery Hall into an
auditorium. The bids, which were accor-
ding to Architect Bailey's plans, varied In
amount from IS, 500 to 81, 800, the amount of
the lowest bid, which had been submitted
by Frazier Brothers, of Allegheny, to whom
the contract was awarded at that figure.
Work will be commenced without loss OF
time, and pushed forward to early compile
tion.
Rev. George W. Chalfant has accepted

Scotch-Irish Congress. and will commence
an onslaught upon the capitalists forthwith.
Things are beginning to move along, and
the public seems imbued with the idea that
the Congress is going to be the biggest meet
