The errors which were committed in the version of the report printed in the this mornine, render it valueless as a means of reference. AVhole pages have been left out for some reason-. in the report for 1875, commencing with tne paragraph "With regard to the ex penditures of Luzerue county for the year 1875," Ac, to the paragraph cenv mencinff, urther. under tbe same head we disallow the sum of ten dollars (10) as tbe original order no. 8,183 to C.

This is the correct amount of orders that have been issued during the year. We well know that the orders which were issued are not all paid, and I am sure the wise "Teacher'" msy well know that we could not pay $8000 with only $3000 in the treasury, the amount that has been received so far for school purposes.

Tbe amount allowed was 91 apiece, tbt is well enough since tin ac of April 30th. 1673. but prior te that time vh only allowed, undertbo (oi bill of Ulii tb- of thirty cents apiece, and this is. ail allow him. Th! maes a tott iof $1,342 7i5.

From- this total, however, we allow to Whirtaker a credit S3 00 for publication, leavins 70. wbii-b is ujw charged agmust tbe said. Wbittaker JI navtng bad dueuotiue that his accouuts weie beinR audited by 3.

Sir. bVardxlee bas rrquested us to give credit for certalu errors in charging amounting to some 2o 1, but as we have ouiy ou tbo bills whicb were paid, and ai tkis sum doea not appear in them, we tbi: tint such a proceeding would not properly come uuder our Jurisdiction.

We would, however, recommend to the present commissioners it tbey settle immediately with Mr. Beardsleo. turn tuey taite tola matter under consideration -and. if th-y think bis demands proper, that tbey allow biin a credit ot tbi-i amount. iij a careful examiuation of tbe Report huuvc, ib win khob xn aome installers, mat wa have charged Ibe same Items tip gsl' at two names: as ror eiatnp the ixce--slv amoulit pud to tbA-sheriS baa been charged up agaiusi nim, ana aido agatuat tne Couiuiisstou era for that year, and also, as In tne cave of orders raised and other irregulaiitlej.

Wberein the Treasurer a clerk and Commissioaers' clerk uuited, we have charged tb-t-ame agaKst both tb-j toramisiier aud Treasurer, but or course one satisfaction will wipe out the item aa cnargeu up. jwwAnd that herefore there has been great (uo njcrer or maKiug aeltte uiiuu with collector of taxes. ioo books show tbat Collsclora bake been permitted to be in default year after' ear without any fcf- torts on tne part ot tie former coui misMonera to briog them to settlement, rurlg the years wbicb we have examiued, tbe collectors who have settled their duplicates within the time required by law to have almost been tbe except lou. How much has oeeu luat to the couLty ty bis negligence we cannot say uub ma are tuat it ua. oeen consiaer- aoie.

ana could bave been nrcrentecl bv a simple performance of their plain du ty in ibi. particular on tbe part of the Commisiouers and Treasureia. Jn tbe graoling of exonera- rioas .0 collectors mere seems to nave Deeu iqaal if not greaur negligtnoe. The statue bxea the time within wbicb exoneratlona must bd asked for aod may be granted. aiteu- Uou his been ptid to this, but la cumberlers cases cdleoturs have receired exonerations amouutiug lo mauy cases to au excessive ai uureaaonanie perceutxgo o' thir duplicates.

Ibe statute require that these exoueratium auJ tba reasons thert-fnr nhall l-e recorded in a tnHk to be kept lor that purpo-c. This teo a uisregnrdtnl by tbe CoinuilAiiuuers for much of tha nie which we have examined. It I. nnoeciry to i-pfrr to the masons why tliiV bltuutd bv dou; is sutlicicnt to amy tbat the statement jequtres it.

Again all exonerations allowed must be certined by the Commisiiioiiers to tbe Traonun-r. Th-s bas nut been dune at all. The only wurrant wbicb the re spective Treasurers buvs requireil for giving ciedit mereror nas oeen tne entering 01 tbe word "exon nti-o," nnd the ainuniit iu the briilwriting of the Commissioners' cleik in the respeetivo st-coutite on nil lea per. in tne ngnt or past events it seems to ua tbat this Is not a sunlcient voucher to the Ireasuier, ana lu cuse or uq tlieturtvf ttieloiii uiissioners clerk, iu thU inuUer, it would not relieve the Treasurer from liability. The manner of making abatements in tbe valua tion of real estato has been entirely irreirtilar ttnd contrary tome plain nn-tnoil provided iy tne statutes.

ine result is nun tne oniciaij not deserving it have in instances been placed under the sustnriou of capncious 11 not corrupt motives lor that actiou by reason of irregular conduct of their associate. urther comment on these matters is uunccvMsnrv. The mere statement cf the fact tbat those evils bate existed wtll suiriri-st tbe remedy. Iu usclusiuu. we be" leare to aav that in statin? -the accounts against the respective treasurers whose accouuts we have audited, our labor lias been pally tbat of making np accounts from the iiooks, papers ana vouchers within our nacb, aided by lbs examination of the ouicors and the testimony of witnesses and therefore our discretion bas been lirn.
