(Hithono hn$ locn f)t to ninkc jis report on the financial condl Hop of the counjy tho ncilbim of a direct attack upen my olhclal r lnractcr ns clerk, of this county, h suflicicnt reaqn for 1q inaipllng space in your valuabp p.iicr to refute the base charts and inuciuloos therein routaiiicd. To Mr. Hell ho pvcs the crdit for tho ilcbttatoincnt and the work generally that Ids appointment called for, tho balance of the rcpor.J lie says js his own, and wo sub mit that almost every sentenco of it bris tles with the iipdicc, spleen and venoni of its author, Facts ore perverted apd the law misstated, for tl0 so!q purpose, It would ucni, of tjettiiift a lick at tho pres ent incumbent of thp clerk's otllcoi for what reason wc leave ypur readers to sur inisq. Sipllcc It to say that since tit Q county has linen cursed with 1(1 presence, ho has ever boqp tho personal cneiny of tie ileni oerattc iiiotuuhcptof the clerk's otlrc. Per haps much of this part of his. report Is ex plained nhcu it is known tlnf lo openly assorted that ho would din Wilson's politi cal grave, when he, failed to get the deputy ship under him. jt would .ccin from this report flint Hie enormous deli, of tho coun ty has all Iiquii occasioned by the exorbi tant and illegal foes charged by tho pres ont incumbent of the clerk's ollice. The llrst charge of ilegal fees Is for making assessment rolls and tax lists, lie says there is no law for counting each name with the llgnres opposite, a folio. Hut un fortunately for Mr. Outhouse, the law and the decisions of the courts of this state say there is law fqr it, and tlatp.ach naino with tic llgnres set opposite on an assessment role and tax lit shall bo countod as a folio. This explains our charges for assessment rolls and tax lists, which arc nothing more than a copy of tho assussmcnt roll for the road dl.itrlct, and we submit that all of our charges therfor are both Within Jq letter aqd the spirit of the law, notwithstanding thp base assertion of the wonderful expert to tho contrary. So in the naqio of the immortal outhouse, wc leayc thu tax-payers to draw the(r own conclusions from ths portion pf the report. Again, we are charged with tl0 oIIcdsc qf charging for filing bills against the county, for which lie also aays there s, no law, In the face of the statqtc to the effect that for any services rendered by an olllcer of thu county where no compensation is provided, such com pensatiou shall be allowed as the court may deem just and reasonable. For this work wc make opt our hills and present them to County court, they sec lit to al low thoin such compensation as they deem reasonable. In tho face of this, statqtc. what right or aqtlority has 1 iqqti, who is employed by the County court to expert the reo irds of tho county, to stop ouMido of his- duties and charge, tho County clerk with malfeasance lu ollleo for thus dciuap ding a reasonable compensation for hs services to the county? Again, ho says that we have charged for liquor licenses from $1. tq $.0O. when wo aro only enti tled to 00 cents. Wc are entitled to t;)k cents for tiling petition, J.'i.V, cents for fil ing bond, 13'; cents for tiling allldavlt of posting notices, V,iy, ccqts for taking nlll davit of posting notices, TO cts for writing alllduvit Of posting and (J0ccnts for Is suing Hi j license and IQ cents for justifica tion of bond, making a total of $2.J0. In soma oqsci al!Mavit of posting and justi licatiou of bond aro inndu outsitc the clerk's ollice, which would reduce the fees to about $1. in caio of liquor license. Again, wc are accused of charging f 10.00 for issuing SO warrants, foe which he say,-, the legal fee is only 1.00. This bll w'a" presented and allowed lu apri last, and was for isoieiii'.; an 1 attracting war rants at the statutory fee of 20 cents per. warrant, making ljHO.01 The bill perhaps was not so explicit as it might have been in stating thai it was for both issuing and abstracting. Hut Mr, Outhouse's attention was callod to the fact that thu bill was for Issuing and abstracting 80 warrants, mil that no separate hill had been put in for abstracting the same and tho mil v rea son why he should plant this item lu hi .ip irt u'l 1 com nat iiijii It, is a wilful disposition on his part to pervert the facts to my injury, if possible. And a man who will (bus misstate tho facts wilfully, for the purpose of inlurlng no iniaelnafy enemy, is urn oi au oecnncy, ami is an cne iny to tho best Infrosts of (lie public. Again, wc arc accused of charging 111,70 for abstracting H wanants, when he savs tho legal fee was oifly $7. SO. Sop again, ilie loveo fo it of thu li -ast, lie does not give the date of this hill in order to upon-si tin truth. The bill was presented ami allowed In September. 1881, for work done under the old law, and was for issuing and ah stractlng 78 warrants, at 15 cents per. war rant, of which fact, to my personal knowl edge, he wnscogiiixaut of al tho time he ivrotc this report, for I had taken particu lar pains to explain tho hill to hlni in per "on. The same explanation and com ment would show tho falsity and unjust ncssof tlio other lliiins of my illegal chai .?es referred to in his report; but I deem It unnecessary to refer to thcin Item bv item, further, except as to the item of charging for cancelling warrants. Hy this report he would lead the tax-payers of this county to 'H'liuvc that I have been in the habit of barging the county for all warrants can celled hy me. which he knew at the time was absolutely false. On July lijtb . lKM, I was occupied the whole day In cancelling warrants, I remarked to the County court that as there was tin extraordinary number if warrants to ho cancelled, I ought to he allowed something for It, and I put In a bill of one cent each for cancelling war rants, which the court allowed. Perhaps this charge was no' strictly within tho statute, hut owing to tho extra work occa sioned at that time by tho cancellation of these warrants J thought and the court must have thought the hill eminently just and proper. With those rounnoiits upon the referen ces of Mr. Outhouse. In bis report to my self, I leave the public to judge of the mo tives that have prompted these unjust in sinuations against my otliclal character. As to my olliclal conduct, I challenge the the most careful Investigation. 1 miivhave niado mistakes, it woeld be strange if from my lnexperlnn.il and youth at tho time I entered I he'clci k's ollice, I did not make a few mistake.", but I venture the assertion that the county fimore gnhicr than loser by thoHu mistakes so far as fees nre con cerned. Of one thing I am conscious, ami that K of never wilfully or knowhtglv wronging thu county or the people out of one cent. Yours, etc. 11, F. Wiuow. North Powder.
