Count/ was the !? ? ? vi a com d?ratlv ai unt, leaving out of the question the undervalued pice for which the land was sold. * Thr s;i:tmnow in vogue for the conduct of the i o r Inuso is what is ku-iwn as the "farming oat" pr<c?ss; vix: paying a man t> look nftcr and care for the paupers: the Couuty furnish'-s she needed supplies ot pr?vi- ion* and clothing, an 1 furnishes the s iiiic man $t >rk und plantation implements to operate a farm on the halves. This sys- | te:n f coring for our poor lias resulted in grc?t l< s.s to the County and in great neglect t > i'u.-e dependent upon our bounty and has served only to pour a number of shekels iulo the pockets of the poor house superiudent. The pur house .mules are used by outaidcr.s *o ciny on fanning operations and f<>r haulitfg for ell which tho'Couoty reoiirts to' o e cent of j>ay. It might he well to aid that the supoiin" dont of p< or house is a brother of the Chairuian of iJcar I of County Commissioners and mo ?i c? n quest on Tinea uscu ior otner limn l\ ii ity purposes are used by the Chairman of Couiiuisjionets and oilier bro'heta ? f himself, I es de the Superintendent. From ell the information brought to our knowledge the poor house aod its property sceius 10 be operated for and in the interest of the .siiperitueudeut snd tho Chairir.au of Hoard of County Commissioners, to the utter disregtird of Utiiou County. Cows tire greatly needed at (lie poor house for the benefit of sickly inuia'es. The County ii >it hai to buy milk ivhon they should have cows and thus hsve pleuty. llieie was a cow s-?I i aouic tttno back to the poor !. use by tho Chairman <>f H nr I ci County Commis'ti'tte1 s forbid, auj after a short while it was in tho hands of one of his brothers, not connected with the poor liouso in auy way, and we understand thit it was sold not a great while tack for beef, and that ilia initio traniactiou was decidedly shady. That the court may have some idea of the way io which tha ^uperinteudeut of poor house has been 'Ji?cha?ging his duties.? It hiacotue to our kit a win Jge that he is frequently absotu from his post of duty and rv 1 v i u l Mijo m <?

The Supei iiiteudout is at this time getiug ilouh'e pay from the County?pey for Superintendent and pay for constable in attendance upon this ceurt. His place should be at (lie stat of his business and post of duty ? he p tor house?and not aiding in runnng u court of justic*. Of lute several paupers havo died, and on one occasion I wo died about the same time, during tho absence of the Superintendent end their l-oJics remained unattended to until the Su| erintendsut's return, which was two days afur dtnih. la this connection vre would recommend that suitable provisions be made for the proper caring for nud nursing of the 9ick, " a'l of which is now unprovided for. The Superintendent beats unmercifully, with sticks and wagon whips, a half-idiotio inmate, ell of which is repulsive to huniauity. The court will pardon tho great space and time which we havo devoted to this matter of our County poor, but it is one of groat import nnd is troatcd wi'h seeming great neglect. We would respectfully aslc that the Solicitor do take this matter of poor house management and sal a of poor houselaud in liana, and take steps to sot aside tho sale made of the laud to which reference lias been made, a s; to get out indictmouts uj*w v nail umu ui wunni ui v uiniij v.un;miseioners stud ."Supei intcudent of poor house for criinnal neglect in taking charge of the property and inmates of that much abused institution.
