The fact is, tho Commisaloners soom to havo averlooked the law ou this eubfect, or have dinrogarded it altagathor, Thoy have acted, in tho enso of tho Coroner and Bloriff, as if’ tho foos horotoforo paid by the county for their ser- vicos had been repealed, when auch js not tho cage. ‘Iha Sherl® aud Coroner of Cook County aro entitled to domand and recoive for thelr sorvicos tho foos prosoribod by law; thero 18 no othor modo of paying thom for thoir sorvices, ‘Ilioso fooa thoy aro required by law to pay over totho County Tronsurar as thoy recoivo thom ; and twica in each year cach of them Las to mako areturn on oath of sll the sorvicos porformod for which foos aro allowed; sud if upon oxem- ination such roports are found to bo acourato, thon tho amount is pnssed to the crodit of tho officor. Dut in no caso can thoso officers bo paid any monoy ouit of the County Tronsury for ser- vicos, excopt tho samo fs paid “out of the foecs of thoir respootivo ofiicos, actually collected.” Tho law on this subjoct is found in the consol- idated act of 1872 rolativg to foos and salarics, Hootione 180 and following scetions, This law, whiclt {s moraly & trangoript of the roquiremonts of the Constitution, expressly prohibita avy compensation by Cook County from tho Troasury to tho Shariff or to tho Coro- nor; it fixeshia salary, and autborizes the County tolimit the numbor of his deputiossud assiatants; it proscribos tho feos which ho shall charge for oach sorvico; requires him to roport tho aggro- gato of these to tho County Commissloners : permits him to recolve from the couuty his sal- ary end the allowance for his doputies nnd sssistants, but in no cage can ha bo paid, or allowed to rotain, any sum in excess of tho * foca of his ofiico, netunlly collsotod.” Wo do mot Inow how much the billa of tho Sheriff agsinst Cook County hayo herotoforo averaged; wo aro told they havo resehod 810,000 por sunum, As- suniing that thoy will reach.that sum this yoar, ond that his colloction of foos in civil sorvice will ronch tho samo sum, this sggrogato of §20,000, or whatevor tho actusl sum msy bo, is tho oxtromo limit which the Conatitution endthoe law of tho Btato pormits the Shorifl to recoive for the performanco of all tho dutics of his offico, in porson or by doputy. Tho same rule applics to thooflice of Coronor. “Thio samo act of 1872 providos that the soveral Stato's Attornoys shall recolve o feo of $15 for ench conviction for folony and 85 forcach othor conviction ; 10 por cont upon all colloctions for forfoitod recognizances; &6 in each casoof forfeited rocognizances sot asido, and various othor foos, Tho District Attornoy in every county s required by law to mako report upon osth, st each term, of all foes, flncs, otc, colloctod by Lim, but, by some extraordiuary ac- cidont, thoro is attached to this roquiromont of ‘making a roport of fos an excoption in tho caso of Cook County. Thosalary of tho Stato's At- tornoy for this county 13 $7,000. Under the law ond tho Constitution, ho cannot receivo any foo, or componsation, or perquisito, or al- lowance, in additlon to that ealary. How this mattor is regulated wo do Dot know; but tho foos nilowed by law to tho' Stato's -Attorney In tuls county ought to, snd unquostionebly do, smount to far more than Lis oalary. Tho law of 1872 oxompts bim from making any roport of his feas ; but the County Board can bring this mattor to a tost by rofuslng any sppropriation for such fees, should one bo nskod. Tho Distrlot Attornoy's offico, aa woll oy that of tho Shoriff, should bo self-gustsluing; but cortainly tho County Commissionors are prolibited by Jaw from making any appropria- tion for tho Shorlits boyond the amount of fees actually collceted, and from wnking any appro- pristion for foon of auy kind to tho Btate's Attormoy.

Horoin lics tho renson why tho Unitod Btates Goveramont should not, in any special sonso, oxtend its arm over the Samans Bay Company In the way of proteotion. As a moro association of capitalists for carrying on brado, it might bave boon viewed difforently ; but, in assuming the fauctions of Govornment, it inours all the risks of revolution aud war which every Gov- ornmont must bo prepared to moot until the Univorsal Peaco Socloty shall havo achiovod ite roformation. If thero was a ressoneblo doubt that Mr. Baez lbed tbe right to ecll out San Domingo to tho United Btates, that doubt opplies oqually to the transaction Yatweon Mr, Baez and the Ssmant Boy Compsny. It Haytl bas rights on tho island, it is not probable that Hayti will quietly allow 1t to bo absorbed by an nssociation of cap- italiats for their own profit and benofit.

Tho ownora of the ¢oncessions and franchlses whick have been sbolished in favor of tho now Company may hold that this Las Doon dono nrbitrasily, and form combinatlons or inclte a rovolution that witl tost tho strength of tho Peninsular Government. The Bamana Bay Company, iu its Govornmontal capacity, must bo loft to moot theso and othor contingoncies 18 it may. Thero is no reason why tho United States Government should incur any such risks for tho profit of individuals whon it doolined to incur thom on ita own account. 1¢, thon, the Samena Boy Company comes bo- toro Congross nuking any spocial allianco or protection from tho United Btates Government, it should bo rofused. ] The Rallrond Commisslonors.
