was fully justified in the statement,
but it will not uppenr in these col

We, tlio grand Jurors aliosen and
sworn for tlie Mnrob term of Hie Supe
rior omul of Washington county, beg
leave to mnko the following present
ments.
Wo congratulate our fellow citizens
tlmt after 24 years of misrule,tint admin
istration 1ms passed into tlio hands of the
democratic party, ai d we trust with tlm
departure of the republicans from power
there will also depart all strife, divis
ions and sectional prejudice and that
prosperity, peace and fraternity will
prevail iti all our land. We sinserely
hope that thero will lie wisdom enough
iu the leaders and patriotism suflieiont
in tlie party to make tlie occasion of the
democratic party to power the begining
of a glorious and long continued day.
Wo congratulate our agricultural fel
low citizens upon the evidence that ex-
ists of solid and successful progress
among them. In many sections we And
new and improved implements of inis-
imndrv, and their system of agriculture
is obutlnoted according to Hie highest
ascertained rules of tho art. To our
fellow citizens generally we say that
although there is great stringency in
money matters and many indications of a
financial crisis, yet wo believe that by
patient industry and rigid economy we
shall pass through successfully with
our condition improved uud our expe
rience greatly enlarged.
We are sorry to he forced to say that
there is an increase of disorder and law
lessness nnd crime in our county, and
we believe tlio r< medy is a strung nn<i
rigid enforcement of tlio law. This
body views with deep concern the dire
evils grow ing out of the retail of ardent
spirtts. Prominent among these evils
is tlie demoralization of the labor sys
tem causing a waste of time in lining,
ing around bur-rooms and street cor
ners indulging in habits (lint lend to
vagrancy and ruin. The debauchery of
the ballot-box by venality that draws
its life-blood from His retail shop is an
alarming evil that should .awaken the
deepest anxiety iu every patriot.
Tho concurrent testimony of so many
judicial officers and the records of tlm
courts, us well as our own observation
that by far Hie lnigoBt proportion of the
criminal eases of the country have their
origin in the dram simp and that a not
able abatement of these eases always
follows tlie prohibition of bar-rooms in
spires tlie hope that an early day the
retail truffle, tho burners to our prog,
le-s, tlie hotbed of vice,tlie snare spread
for tlie youth nf our laud will no longer
have the sanation of law iu onr county.
The following committee reports wire
read, approved and adopted as part of our
general presentments. The report made
to this body hy the committee, (I)r. Jl. N.

GENTLEMEN:
It is a source of grntfinillnn tn me,
to call j onr attention to the balance sheet
braced in the report of the Finnnee Com
mittee, showing the sound limu.einl con
dition of onr comity, hy the Gusli balance
in the linmls of the County Treasurer this
day amounting to $3,016.(10 and no indebt
edness, to begin tlie liscal year with’ Aud
this. nntwilliBtnndiiig a reduction of 5 con's
on ilie county Tax from last year on the
$100 nnd an increased expenditure of over
$1000 for bridges not niitieiputcd in my
last years estimate.
1 am confident that you will excuse me,
at the begining of this my second term nf of
fice, for manifesting ii pardonable pride in
referring your honorable Body to the finan
cial history of our county during the past
four yen is.
When I assumed tlie Unties of the ordina
ry’s olliec in 1881, I found tlmt tlie county
tax of the proceeding year had been 8licts.,
on the $11)0, and hud realized $21,453.00,
all of which had been expendid, w ith an
indebtedness hanging over the county inn
ing to $4812.00 lo begin tlie fiscal year of
1S81 with.
A f.cr having familiarized myself during
(lie first two months with tlie financial af
fairs of die county; I suggested to die Hon,
(Iran I .1 ury of tlie Mareli Term 1881, a rec-
omcuilntii n in their presentments, a reduc
tion often cents uii the county Tux. dial is
from KOto 70 rente for that year, which re
alized $t'.),)■ 88 00 wherewith the 1 ObT indebt
edness was canceled, as well as tlie current
expenses of that year pnid, leaving a sur
plus in the Treasury on thu 1st of March,
1882 of $2,256,00.
At the Minch Term 1882 I suggested to
(lie lion, (irniid Jury a recommendation of
i further reduction of20 cents, dint is from
70 t. 60 cents lor tlmt year, which realized
$11047,00 wherewith the current expenses
of dial year w ere paid leaving a surplus in
the Treasury on the 1st of March 1883,
$2,007,00.
At the March Term of 1883, I again sug
gested to the lion. Grniid Jury a reccom-
iiiendalion for a further reduction of 10 els ,
dint is from 50 to 40 edits, lor dint year
which realized $ll,77‘i,00 wherewith the
current expenses of tlio year were paid,
leaving a surplus iu the Treasury on thu 1st
of Mareli 1884 of $3,.V 2,00.
At the Mareli Teiin 1884 I onco more
suggested in tlie lion.Grand Jury a reenm
ineiiilalioii for a’further ri duel ion of 5 tents,
that is from 10 to 85 penis, which realized
$10,726,00 wherewith tlie current expenses
of the year w ere paid, leaving a surplus in
die Treas.ny to day as before stated
$3,010.00.
lo this connection it, may not lie amiss ;
to mention tlmt by my management of
apsrliiu,ut nod that tlm Ordinary plane a

Having adopted the cash linsis for nil

benefit onr people more, than levying

would have to shave them on die streets
