TIIO.H KENAN, C/L * 11 this cafe the Grand Jury burly requefted the Judge to appoint commiifioners to exam ine the funds of the county ;— and we contend, that although his honor has, in taking order upon this rcquefl, added “pro- fentment,” no fuch inference can diredly or indirectly be made. We make thefe remarks, becaufe we are well aware that there are ceitain ambitious men in this county, who are not fatis- ficj with any mm who ads con- traiy to their w ifhes, nor are they Satisfied with any ad which is not made fubfervient to their cvpti e.
