THE (COUNTY TREASURERSHIP.
Before the ne=t issue of Tus zitusaL
the vexed question of the Henn' county
treasurership will be set at rest by the
action of the new county council. This
is what we have contended for duelist
the weeks that have intervened since the
moribund council of 1883, at the De-
cember meeting, attempted to forestall
the action of its suoeeesor. Ws contended
at that time that the dyinc county even -
ell did wrong ;-subsequent events have
proved that we were correct in our con-
tention. Hun. A. M. Roes is Mill

contention regarding the illegal action
