Deputy C.8.C.
Tko law rc-uires all accounts to be
itemized and dated, before they cat. be
allowed; and the Board was not igno
rant of the lafri We will now sbow the
difference in the expenses of the oEce
for the four years immediately preced
ing the time Mr. Horton took charge
thereof aul while he (Mr. Hrton) was
in charge. t
The expenses1 of 'the four years, was
on!y $183.59, just $43.00, more than
tk 1 'tir and 0 utnnths "Mr. Horton
state, that, in the account for the four
j ears is included the repairing of the
office, which amounted to about 14.
and also the purchasing of the follow
ing Books, which are still in use in the
office:
Administrators Bond Book.
Guardians , "
Special proceeding Docket.
Witness Ticket Book,
Jury " '
. N.w wc arc not going to say that
Mr. Horton s account is wrong, that
he. has made false charges against the
County, but we do say that, we. can
see no good reason why he could not
ruu the office as cheap as those who
preceded him, aud we do not see why,
Mr. Horton was unable to make out
hi account as required by law. It
could not be that he was ignorant of
the law, for he is a man that has had
too much to do;with the management
of the clerks office not to have known
the laws governing that branch of the
county government, and further, we do
not see how the County Commissioners,
men intrusted with .the government of
the
county, men who are placed as I
sentinels upou the watch tower, to
guard and protect the people, should so
far forget their otth, and their duty to
the county, as to pass upon an account,
which they themselves acknowledge. t
to be in proper form and which to them
seemed extravagant. We speak plain
ly in this matter, for Wfc regard it as a
matter in which the tax payers of the
county arc interested, and it requires
plain talking The county can never
get out of debt, and its paper will al
ways be- at a discount, if this recklos,
loose manner of paying out money is
persisted in by the Commissioners- -f
the County, f s
We cannot closo this article without
saying a word in praise of Mr. Harris,
who vote4 against the allowing of this
account until it was brought up in
proper fijrm, in form as prescribed by
law J Mr. Harris stated the law to the
Board, aHid insisted that the account be
not allowed, but his single vote could
do nothing,' yet he deserves the com
mendatiou of the people of Franklin,
for his manly course iu this matter.
The people will not forget him.
3Ioxo Swindling:
In cur last issue, we made mention
of four County orders, which had been
changed from the original amount for
which they were first made, since then
others have come to liirht. and how
many more there are still in circula
tion no one can tell. We would advi.se
all who purchase or trade for orders to
examine them closely, and see that they
are all right, and also to remember the
parties from whom thay were purchas
ed. The following have locn found
changed : No. 48 issued to J. C.
Rnid, August 9th 1870 for $9. chang
ed to fl 9. ; No, 220 issued to J It.
Brummitt, June 3rd 1870 for 62,35,
changed to 22.35.
It gives us pleasure to State that, tho
Board at their last mooting, appointed
threo of our beft buincss men to look
into this matter, aud we feel satisfied
that they, will leave nothing undone,
in their efforts to find out the guilty
parties , -
