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

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.
