COUNTY FINANCES, TUE KINO DISOUSTED WITIL THE COUNTY TREAS: Y, ‘There was considerable sunpressed indigna Uonin “Rlug® circles yesterday at the action of County-Treasurer Huck in giviog is out that ho would not sign uny addltional bonds author- 1zed to be fssucd by the County Board until the il Uourts had passed upon the authority of the.

The spectacle presenting ftself wus anything elso than pleasing—a do- pleted treasury und N0 means to replentsh fo exgept the getting of the vonsent of the ;’woplu satitt more county bonds, which was betieved to be innovsible. Phe angulsh wan great, sud thyae who had laid the most plans tor the ex- penditure of the mopey proposed to be rafsed, and who had bullt uir-castles aod dreamed of Jurtunes, were most gorely distressed, Thero was a puebing w0 and fro, und the Loynty Attorney, who, though paid by thy peable, appears to Lave bevome tho' sdvosate of THE CHICAGU TRIBUN every * Ring " measure, was surrounded by the disconsolate nud hesleged for an ¢ opiniun,' whitch waukd restorecontidence and In.-"ln- hone for the future. 110 had no * oplnion,” exeept that the sltation was ‘troublotis, and this e withheld from his interviewers, for the reason that hie was s sore as the reat. A reporter was among thoexclted and distressed, amd by collar- {ug everybody, and gathering an kiea horo aml there, Soon reachicd the conclusion that the movement 8o timely defeated by Mr, Huck hnd been larger, more extensive, and signtileant than the public had had any fdea of. Ho was fo- formed that thie secret meotings held by the Finance Committeo of late had been fur the purpose of cacrcing the County Treasurer mto signing the §1,000,000 bowds praposed to be ls- sued by the "iung," and this had the zemblance of truth in the fact that the form of the bonas had been agreed “P"“' and would have been en- raved and printed but for the opposition of {r. Beye, Agsistant Treasurer. e mattor of Irsuing the bonds, {t_appears, had long been secretly discussail, and at one time the legal ob- Jection to thelr [ssuance lind been overcome by the mistake of the I{on. E. A, Small fu glving an opinion whereln he trnnuroml the statutes bea n‘z on the case, and made it nypelr that the provision for submitting the question toa vote of the people had been repented by what {s known as the nct of 1573, “The opinion was in writing, and was halled with jov by the "lllng," for, wiile they knew of “the mistake, the “opinfon” ~was sufliclent to acreen and justify them before the public In Issu- 1n, tho bonds, while they fondly trusted that it woutd also scrve to”induce Mr. Huck to sfgn them, When _the contrary opin- fon was Jaid before them Thuraday they were, of euurse, sct back, taken unawares, and Knew not what to do, which was the hnppy conditlon fn which they found themselves yesterday. They knew not who hind discovercd the mistake, or what had brought about the change, but. upon recalling the position taken by Mr. Beyo in the matter in all the private meetings on the subject, they were not long In doubts as to who was to blame for the teverse that had come upon them, and for him thelr cxpressions of love were by no means remarkable. T8 PEATURE OF THE DAY was 0 conference on the matter of {ssulng the proposed bonds between the County Attorney and the County Treasurcr, sought by the former. Rountree’s exeuse for the conférence was that the Cominlasioncrs were fn doubt as to Just what Mr. Huck’s position was in the mat- ter, and as to what be had said to the Finance Committee the day belore on the subject. Just why Rountree should manifest such n deep in- terest in the situation us to have aceepted the office of ascertaining the information wanted was just as Inexplicable as tho fact that the Commissloners had relegated to him such au- thority; yet Mr. Huck subnutied quletly to the conference, and repeated his statemment already filvcn in these columun, which was in effect that o would not ”51" auy bonds until the courts tiad passed upon the lcfnmy of the lssuance of the same. The conforcnic was private, of course, and neccssarfly brief, and, ns fur as could ~ be learned, entirely — fruiticss. Rountrce had no _propositions to Inake for the ** Ring." and Mr. Huck no conccesions tooffer as quinnt tho public interest, and the conference vaded with the minds of the con- ferces fully made up that tho bonds would not bo_issucd” in any great hasie, and that the *“Riug'a’ outlook for spolls lmt‘ been suddenly and serlously wterrupted. Asido from the question of fssuing bonds, which {s pow almoat a dend Igsue, another von- slderation struck terror to the heart of the Ring during the day, and forclbly Impressed Its sev- eral membera with the flea of thelr past folly and extravagance. It catng {n an unwelcome ahape, and after pondering over §t they about made up their minds that not only had their bond schéme uullu}).cnl‘ but that thelr favorits financlul theory of borrowing of P'aul to pay Peter, which they bad hoped to fall back on, and which had nereased the floating debt of the county the past year about §5),000, bud about reached fts emd in practical applica- tlon, urising (rom the fact that Mr, fluck had about made up bis mind that he would not be o an’ 1o the making of ahy further * teniporary ouns.® The report was belleved by moat ot them, and alarming to atl, and_upon “belng ln- vestizated by a reporter proved to not hu with- out foundatfon, How well it is tounded will be shown when the next Joan s asked for, which must be I tho next thirty deys, and certainly before tho Cetnmissfoners audit their own salarles for the current quarter. If thoy and thelr followersdependon * louns,” thelraepend- enes will be found very elim most hkely, and In the next thres months, if they do not” meet unexpected distress us the cost of thelr folly, the indications are nore than deceptive. THE NORMAL, MBETING OF TIE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. ‘The County Board of Education.held n spectal meeting yesterdoy afternoon, for the purpose of auditing the pay-rolls. The wew member, C, C.
