The county officers who have been in

office the past three years will retireMonday morning and be succeeded bythose chosen at the last election. Thiscounty has seldom ifever been more for-

tunate in their public servants than dur-

ingjfhe term now expinng. Sheriff DEAN,though quite prominent and very popu-

lar in the west was but little known out-side of that section when he came here

three years ago, but he now returns toIns home in South Creek, not only oneof the most widely known gentlemenin the county, but the most popular manwho has ever filled the sheriff's office,

lie has so discharged the onerous and re-sponsible duties of Hie office as not tounnecessarily oppress or annoy the un-fortunate debtor, while acting with strictfidelity to plaintiffs. "A little brief au-tho'ity ' did not "puff him up," and heremains the same affable, unassuming,

com teous gentleman lie was born. His

friends are not eonfl ied to ilic Republi-

can party, though lie is as true as stealto his principles. While Mr. DEAN, lirea sensible gentleman, as he is, retires to

his farm again, we shall be greatly mis-

taken if his fellow citizens do not sooncall him into public life.

Protiionotarv PLACEMAN is his ownsuccessor, and the choice could not havebeen bettered. It is a noteworthy factthat Brad foul County has been particu-larly fortunate in the selection of pro-thonotaries,never having had a poor one.Put Mr. PLACEMAN is the peer of any of

his predecessors as an officer, while lie

excels in those traits which make a manjustly popular with his fellows. Hisheart is large and beats in sympathy withhis less fortunate brethren who are alwaysreceived with the same cordiality asthose upon whom fortune smiles. Theduties of the office have been promptly,faithfully and pleasantly performed, leav-

# ing no ground for fault-Uudiug on thepart of any one having business to trans-

act there.A. C. Fitisnin, Register and Recorder,

gives place to lion. J. 11. Wisnn, the un-

written law of the Republican party hav-ing decreed that rc-nominations for thisoffice must not be made. lie goes out of

office with the confidence and best wishesof all who have made his acquaintance.

Himself and son, Mr. CLAYTON Fmsmu,have done the work of the office duringhis term and the records have never beenmore neatly kept, nor the duties of theoffice discharged more satisfactorily than

during his administiation.The constitution bars the County

Treasurer from serving two consecutiveterms, and Mr. JOHN 11. GitANT retiresafter three years incumbency, during

which a larger amount of money has beenreceived and paid out than in any other

similar peiiod since the organization oftlie county, and we may truthfully saythe interests of tax-payers have neverbeen more carefully guarded nor the 11-

nances more prudently managed. It be-came necessary to make a loan to raisemoney to erect the poor house and it wasla 1 gely due to Mr. GRANT'S efforts thatthe bonds were negotiated at a very lowrate of inteiest, in the face of strong

temptations to allow his frieuds to takethe nat a higher rate. In this trausac-

t'ou the county saved more than his sala-ry. lie superintended the payments for

the ,'o kou the poor house in personand aided the Commissioners very great-ly iu the prosecution of the work. liedeserves great credit for the practical

interest displayed iu securing to the

county a house for the poor which willgrow in favor as its usefulness becomes

better known to the public. Among

those whom coining generations will

thank tor this noble institution Mr.GRANT will stand piomincnt and his nameys an upright, prudent and faithful cus-todian of the county funds will long re-main to do honor to his memory.

The County Commissioners, Messrs.Pi; ADIOI;i>, lli nsT and HANSOM haveserved during a period of unusual inter-

est to the tax-payers, large sums of mon-ey having been expended and much ex-traordinary work required. That theboard faithfully discharged its work is

ev'dent in the re-election of two of them

?the oihei, Mr. HURST, declining thehonor of a re-nomination. They havedone well for the county and deserve theendorser.tent they have received.

What we have said in regaid to theCommissioneis will apply to the County

Audiio's, Messrs WKLI.ES, PRATT and

MOODY, two of whom have been electedfor another term.

Ex Senator Coukling has the reputation

of uttering bitterer satire than any of

our public men, says the Chicago Inter-Orcoti, but it is certainly the fact noneof them can shape a compliment moregracefully. Once when he was making aspeech in the Senate he repeatedly turn-ed his eves upon Senator Thr.nnan was alittle nettled, and asked : '\V hen theSenator fiom New York turns andaddresses his remarks to me, does he ex-pect me to respond?" "When I speak of

the law," responded Senator Conklin," 1

turn to the distinguished Senator fiom

Ohio as the Mussulman turns toward

Mecca. I look to him as I would look to

the common law of England, the world's

most copious volume of human jurispru-dence,"
