At inciting r. the Democratic C r t r I Cominiilce of Orange county, LHil at the court house, lti Pnoli, on Saturday, March 9, 1S7S, it wasonlert-d that the Democracy of Orange county meet in delegate convention at the Court House, in Paoli, on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1878, for tle purposeof nominating candklatca for county offices, and that the primary meetings he held in the several townships on Tuesday, April 0!h. That the votes of the townships he cast in the county convention for the various candidates before. id convention in the fame proportion as cast at lh primary meetings for mich candidates and that the basis of representation be one vote for pvry twenty-five votes or fraction over twelve cast for the Hon. James D. Williams for Governor in I87G. Tha several townships will bo entitled to the following votes: Pnoli, 9; Northeast, 3; Orleans, 6; Oranjeville, 4; Northwest, G; French Lick, 8; Jackson, 6; Greenfield, 10; Southeast, 8; Stamperscreek, G. Whole number of votes, CG. Necessary to a choice, CI. Tnoa. II. Dunkirk, Chm'n. Jar. L. Noblitt, Sec'y. Ed. News It is the understanding by nearly all' the townships that tha townships hold their conventions on the 9th of April, and then and theie vote by ballot for Joint Representative, Clerk, Treasurer, Sheriff, and in fact all the county officers that are to bo elected in October, and that every man eo voted for receive his strength in each township, and that on the lClh of April the county convention will be held at Paoli, vrhcru it trill bo determined who has rceiveil the majority vote in the county, and whoever receives that majority will be the choice of the County Convention. Now, sir, that is Just and fair, and no good, honest mao can object, end it is fo be hoped that wo have no man willing to accept a Domination unless it be obtained by a fair expression of the voters of each township. But it Is understood that one or two of the town hhips have been Jed to believe that the Joint Convention of Orange and Craw ford is to be hild on the Cth cf April. That j.ti Lnowis not the case, the time of that convention having- not yet been . flxtd, and it is not yet known when it will he held, therefore those instructions made for the era vention cn the Cth ;of April don't amount to anything', as thero will bti no convention on that day. Now it is to he hoped that every township will demand the rljjht, and It Is the duly of every voter to vote on the 8th for mil cfllcers, both Joint Ilt'prrsentti ve and county, and that every voter has a rlIst to Is beard in the township convents i ty Lis vci, ;,r.J tJ.-.t every : -u ' : . ;i t.j h: stu uth tver ll.ti (Airily.

i:Y T. :.x. John and Andy May have I'-ciiht another boiler f:r tfie Honey Creek Mills, and have contracted with tL'-lr father, Mr. James

May, mr-; r of the mil!, to keep them ir. rrj.dr for five years for the ue f)f ihem during that time. This would term to be a f plendid bargain for them, and if they do not do well it will doubtless be thfir own fault. ' IIo, every one thit thirsteth." Our neighboring villa f Hardinburg is now blessed with a saloon, where ti e parched denizens of that heretofore civil butg may wet their whi.-llo for the pitiful sum often cents. It does not immediately concern us, but we do think it is a shameful imposition on the business of the two drug Mores of that pleasant little town. K. W. Mcintosh seems bent on taking ono to his heart and, we may add, to his homey for he appears to be busily preparing ono up i n the hill northwest of his father's. He kept two very successful ternis of school this winter one Ions nnd one short term. The former, held here at No. 11, made an average of some forty, while the latter held in French Lick township, made an average of but one. In spite of the low average, he considers the latter by far the plcasanter term, owing to the aptness of the pupil and other circumstances. For his encouragement we would suggest that there are but three things really essential to happiness; "A little farm well tilled, A little bam well fllletl, Ami a littte wife well willed." Jim Sullenger has taken Greeley's advice and has gone west to grow up with the country." (Now, Mr, Printer, don't by mistake ieave the r and w out of the word grow, for that might be an unpleasantly accidental anticipation of the truth). We wish him all manner of success, and hope that he may become & famous Western man. John and Hiram Smith have contracts! for another year in the blacksmithiny and Wagon-making business. Last year, by good work and reasonable charges, they so got the confidence of the people that they were constantly receiving more work than they eould attend to. If they continue as they have begun, we have no doubt that they will make their business a permanent success. Towmlilp Courention. Pursuant to a call of the Central Committee, the Democracy of Stamperscreek township met in mass convention at School house No. 2, on Thursday, March 14, 1878, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the various township ofiiees to be filled at the ensuing April election. On motion, Joseph Coulter was chosen President and James Poison Secretary. On motion, it was ordered that the person receiving the highest number of votes shall be declared the nominee. The convention then proceeded to make the following nominations: For Trustee lieu ry F. Trinkle. Assessor Jasper N. Buchanan. Justices of the Pea co Win. II. Martin and Allen Wolf. Constables Wm. A, Coulter and Lewis D. Hammond. Supervisor of Roads lsfdistriet, James L. Cornwell; 2d district, Frank DiUiard; o.l district, Thos. Ke'ley; 4th district, Thomas B. Ilolladay.

This report was roa'ie out in October, and in for the year ending in October, but owing to sicknesi. I wa? nnable to attend the October .ession of the Board, therefore the report, ws? not presented to the Board of Commissioners until their December term. 1S74- In said report I am charged with a balance of 54,540 Z$ Received during the year 3,532 97 J Total receipts for the year ending October, 1874, inclnditis balance of the year before 8,073 f!5 Expenditures 70 Balance - $4,432 65 Of this snm $l,65a 30 wa, tuition funds, and at that time in the hands of the County Treasurer, together with a part of the special school fund. And of said sum of $l,f51? 30, tocelher with 570 87 of the February distribution, nuiking $2,228 17, was paid to the teachers of towuships before the 22d day of April, 1875, which was the end of the school term leaving a small amount in my hands from April to October. OCTOBER SETTLEMENT, 1875. I am charged with balance at last report ..S4.4C!2 65 Received during the year I,G77 61 Total receipts, including balance at last report 6,160 2S Expenditures - 3,730 37 Balance 2,429 SQ The balance this year was small, from the fact that when I went lo draw ray warrants before making my report Abraham Noblitt said, if I did not in tend to draw the funds, he thought I had better not charge myielf with the money, and thereby avoid the appearance of having a large sum of money in my hands which 1 had never drawn. When J presented my report the Board of Commissioners objected to my leaving the tuition funds out, but Mr. Noblitt convinced them I was right, and the report was approved; and my repot t at my next settlement, owing to the ruling of the Board, showed a large amount of money as being in my hands to pay the teachers, which was still in the hands of the County Tieasurer. My report would have shown, a3 it ought, a balance of 1,454 58 less than it really did show, for 1 was charged with that much more money than I had received, for I never drew the money until I needed it to pay the teachers octobeh, 1876.

Mr. Black Hawk says I levied a heavier tax. That is a mistake. The large increase in the receipts was most ly ia the tuition funds, which show $4,604 88, mostly from the State distribution, and including the May apportionment, amounting to 554 58, still in the hands of the Ccunty Treasurer, yet reported, as I had the warrants for the same. The actual receipts of school funds f r tuition were as follows: Balance $429 12 Received Nov., 1875, and April 1, 1376 2,721 18 Received np to April, 1876 3,150 30 Expended up to April 25, 1876. 2,981 10 Balance $169 20 And this $169 20 was all the part of said funds in my hands until October, 1876. The receipts of the dog fuud for the year also, eontained $152 41, of the dog fund due Paoli township, which should have been received and expended th year before. As there was a small elephant in the County Treasurer's office at that time, the aforesaid $152 41 was not forthcoming, and was not received by rae until alter my settlement wi'.h the Commissioners.

tion i?:.;-.:': -zi i .y hands with lor.r !-! lirs Tct to settle with. Of the $G2;t 35 road tax, about which Mr. Black Hawk snade so i:i u t li complaint: A, the time cf sfttlcaient the township bind was indebted to me $210, which, deducting from the balance of roaJ iti. leaves aa actual balance of $413 35. Bntss the Supervisors wtre to be paid out of the to? nship fun :1s, and it was overpaid There was paid cut cf the road tax for towashirj $177 72

Leaving a balance of. 235 63 road tax fund, over and above what the township was indebted to me, of which I have since expended a large part, with two supervisors to settle with, for any money by them paid. In regard to the rate of tax being kept as high as by former Trustees: I took 10 cts. (per $100 of taxable property,) otf of the s. S. fund, and added it tc the tuition tax, whereby 1 have been able to run the schools, on an average of 100 days each year of the live years for which I levied the tax, instead of 75 to 80 as heretofore. The additional 20 days wag added to the sehooi term without any additional Ux. And I claim that the schools of this township are supplied with better apparatus and furniture than any other in Orange county. And also that Paoli township has been supplied with as good teachers as any towi ship in the county. As to ti e charge in regard to the failure to b'iild a bridge across the bayou on the Orleans road: If every dollar of road funds belonging to the road district, in which said road is situated, had been applied on a bridge there would not have been sufficient to even build one-fourth part of the bridge. Paoli township pays more tax than any other township in Orange county, therefore if Black Hawk wants a bridge built, let him go to the County Board and ask them to build the bridge, as the law directs. I will further say that with the showing, as above, that I was nearly always chargeable with funds, which, at the time of my settlement with tha Board of Commissioners, were still in the hands of the County Treasurer. And also, the largest part of the balance was tuition funds, which was always expended before and at the close of the school term in the spring. WM. J. THROOP. Ed. 1ews In ray answer to Black Hawk I omitted to answer his charge in regard to office rent. Former Trustees paid out of tofnship funds, for office rent, one dollar per month. During my first term I charged nothing for office rent. We were then in the Cole building, and were paying $4 per month, no part of which was paid from township funds. Since we have been occupying our present offic, I have charged the township, for rent.one dollar per month. We pay for our office rent six dollars per month. Five dollars of said amount, per month, has alwavs been paid with our own money. V. J. THROOP. Ben. Stmson, Esq., has a lot of Snow Flake potatoes for salo.
