Tho Gazette nays that "'loino of thene parties have re ceipts for their tnxoa from former fdier ilPs, Knniu i if which are from Uoodall." Yoh, two poll tax recoiptu have been taken up by the tax collector and shown to me, which have paid to the county treasurer, though I did not got that two dollar, for I alwayn tettled , with the county court by Htubs of ic ceiptR J had given. That in not a very bad showing for four yoars iih assessor, in fact I am not nnhntucd of tho record, and 1 will ay that theic is not n nhor ill' or aNHceHU' in tho State of Oicgon that can idiowit bolter record. Tho Oa.i tie eeniK to have found a "mare's nest" in the asseinent of my laud. Jt hays my 200 acres of land ia nsfiepKedator.lv !?")()(); when land on each wide of mine is as-sowed much higher. I regret tot-ay that no land in iiHscss'oel to me, tor tho Himplo reason that 1 own none, but 1 am assessed on improvement and limber culture claim for $1,000. My wife is assessed on 200 ncus of land, SfCOO, of which' .100 acres in mountain land, with all tho best timber cut oil", and which has been contested by tho U. S., tho result of which in yet uncertain. Tho other '10 acres is nut very good land and has but little improvement on it. Jlow is it that all Iheso facts are known to Mr. Hamilton? They aro shown on the tax list in the sheriff's olliee. Hut as much as be disregards the truth, I am u littlo sniprised that he should touch upon this tax matter, in view of his own conduct concerning tho payment of taxes. On the deliinitiont list U a tax against Saho Choato for 18S(i, on land soli to Choato by Hamilton as agent that did belong to I'umphrey. Choato claims to have paid his tax for ISSli in sumo of the eastern states, and says Hamilton agreed to pay, which Hamilton admits, and claims that he paid the taxeV on (ho money for which tho place was gold, ilis assessment fo'rlS8( shows that ho was assessed on $1000 in Money, which is all that any of the family paid that year, when the deed rceiid shows that ho received $1,800 for tho land sold to Choato, lie will neither pay it himself nor collect it from Choato, an 1 tho county has ro coived no tax from this land for the year 188(5. Tho Gazette also says that Thomp Carroll and Ooodall went to inspect niine county bridges, with Car loll'a team, and that while Carroll re ceived only $8.00 in count v warrants, Goodall received $20.00 in coin. This, like every other charge it has made against me, is a faUehood. This dip was to inspect the bridges of tho coun ty, to bo used as testimony in tho suit with Wallowa county, as J ml go Wal ker hebl that the bridges of Union county i-hould bo estimated in tho ad justment of the division of indobUd noss. Vo examined neavly all tho bridges of tho county and woro three days, and until lato in tho night of the third in making tho trip, using nit team and buckboard. Mr. Carroll re ceived $D.00, 1 paying all tho exponses of tho trip, which wero $0,00. Tho county allowed mo my money back and nothing more. In all my travel ing, looking afbr the repair and build ing of roads and bridges, of which 1 did considerable, and 1 believe the county is larguly the gainer thereby, I havo not roooiwnl one cent for my timoortho u.o of my tom. I havo only asVo I flic court to ny me back my actual oxju'iihoti. I havo rccoived nothing which wan not pasted on by tho court ; nothing hut legal compen sation. Come and two my bills, Mr. Eukloy, and every onu else, and I will tako pleasure in exhibiting thorn. Will Mr. Hamilton say as much? By the way, the printer left out enough of Mr. Hamilton's fee bill in my last let ter to hpod it. and 1 w'uh every voter could nv thi bill before voting. Hut thoro Inn 'orm a wonderful change in tho th-rifl" oAloe lately. Mr. Ham ilton's bill prt wilted to the court just adjourned, la let down vary materi ally from the on prosuutod to the cnurt just preretxling it, and iljie will stick to Hint bill iw a criterion" 1 Hlutll think that this dicusMon bus roatiltod in some good. That tax of Shelton's. Oh yes I Mr. Hamilton well knows that Sholton has claimed to have paid it all the time, but had mil-placed the receipt, and Hamilton knew it all the time, and has repeatedly asked me lo have it cancelled, which J have refused lo do without eid. nee of payment, by which the county could recover oil' the sher iff who colli ch d it. The publication of thi-t tax with the rest of (he delin quents, was omitted upon the promiie of Mr. Shelton that he would havo the tax receipt stubs searched, and if they did not show the payment, ho would pay it, and Hamilton knows that is still on tho delinquent litl. In regard to the Scout rublishing Company's tax, Mr. Hamilton very well knows that tho original na.-ostmiont sheet showed that the asses.-or bad made a mistake in his footings, which made tho aei-essablo property of the company some three timet) greater than it should havo been. Ho knows well, tco, that the assessment wheel was taken into the Bhoriir'soflico some IS or 20 months ago, whence it has mysteriously disap peared. Wo did not all lemember tin.' correct footings alike. Mr. Jones and Hamilton thought it less than I did, anil they finally settled it according to their best recollections. Now Mr. lick ley, tho publishing of that delinquent list was let lo tho lowest sealed bidder. Tho Gazette says I reduced tho assess ment of tho Oregon Gold Mining Co, without being asked. Tho board of equalization reduced it upon the pre sentation of fads by their agent, to wit: that thev had made an expendi ture of, I think, $100,000 or over, and would havo to expend several thousand dollars more before they could realize anyth'ng on their investment, if then. By so doing they had MVen employ ment lo many men and teams; crea ted a market for coutiderable produce, and thereby put considerable money in circulation in the county, as well as adding much to tho wealth of the coun ty, and that tho whole euterprisq was at least somewhat in the nature of an experiment, which might prove a fail ure, in which case tho whole invest ment would be a dead loss. In iow of these facts the board believed the county could well afford to b' liberal with them tho lir&t year, thus giving them encouragement, as (hey wero de veloping our mines, and, wo venture tho assertion that there Js not a hoard in tlio State that would not, under tho cirdunp-tanccs, have done the sumo thing, and justly too. Now. Mr. Kditor, 1 think I have giv en sullieient facts and I will substan tiate every one of them to satisfy any reasonable person that A. N. Ham ilton, shoiilf of Union county, has not the least regard for truth whatever, and is wholly unfit for the responsible olllco which ho has so incompetently tilled, and is tilling, and wants to t-o incompetently till another two ye.irs. 1 do not ask, or expect, nor do I wish anyone to bo intluenced by what 1 have written, in voting, without inves tigating these facts for themselves. Oh, ye! 1 came near forgetting those county orders, which tho Gazette says 1 ordered tho deputy clerk to draw. In that onto, Mr. Noill, tho clerk, was conlined to his bod and was notable to nuiko out his bills. I knew tho county wan owing him a cousidern amount. lie sunt iuo a message to authorize his deputy to draw a small amount. 1 did so. I know not, nor was it any of my hnsines to whom he sold it, or what the deputy clerk wrote on tho stub, but 1 do veuturo to wiy that the Gaictie'e vert-ion of it u not true, and that I can piovo (he tenth of my assertion by tho deputy himself. The law loquires tho heritf to write tho date of receipt ujku tho buck of each warrant paid on Uxess, thitt in tercut may be stopped at that date, al so to settle with thu treasurer by his tax receipt stuhi), and to (lie with tho county clerk his tax receipt stubs at tho .Inly settlement, neither of wlrich bus ho over done, though ho has fre quently been asked so to do. How will he excuse himself for hit wilful nogloct to comply with th plain re quirements of the law? Now, Mr. Ed itor, have I not nmtieatel all 1 bit oil' Who is the "bnll.headed ignoramus? ' Surely not I. Fearing my extr.iva Xauca mighj terioiwly hock Mr Ham ilton's already ovoivtnvm d mm. I will not ask our pardon o uuui) time. O. V. GOODALL Tliimblc and Steel Skein, Tubular.
