'A REPUBLICAN

Considers the Removal of Mr. Daily From the Poor Farm a Great Blunder. MIDDIIETOWN, Dec. 22—[GAZETTEspecial.]—After considerable consideration and much mental agitation lam free to say that the present board of County Commissioners have committed the most egregious blunder by the removal of Mr. Daily from the poor farm tbat any set of conscientious thinking men could be guilty of. We look at. it as a downright calamity to the county not intimating, however, but tbat Mr. Hull is as competent to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Daily's removal as any of the other applicants for the place, but it is a well-known fact that Mr. Daily is the one man among 10,000 who could fill the place as he has done. And right here let me say the poor house, under the superintendency of Mr. Daily, has terror poor tnan was formerly the case. Many now scattered over the land and receiving alms from generous-hearted persons and allowances from the township trustees, would be better off and less of a burden to the community if within the walls of that institution, as it bas been conducted since Mr. Daily's appointment than in theii wretched abodes, their poverty being greatly augmented by their own want of discretion and bad management. Whereas, if governed by prudence and good judgment, they might succeed in gaining a competence. Then the industrious, well-to-do portion of the community would have more real satisfaction aud enjoy the fruits of their honest labors with a greater relish. In this land of plenty, with religious and benevolent institutions, poor houses, lums, hospitals and tid societies abounding, it does seem like our meditations ought not be disturbed by the fear that some worthy mortal might be in want and peril. Why then do not those persons whose duty it is to see to the condition of the county, discharge their duties in such a manner as to meet *Tie approval of a clear conscience a! least?
