NEVADA DEMOCRAT DECEMBER 22, 1858 257 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1858 . The County Treasurer’s Card. The last number of the Nevada Journal contains a card, over the signature of T. W. Sigourney, County Treasurer, in relation to the charges made against him in the report of the Grand Jury. The card consists mostly of a fierce and malignant attack upon the Grand Jury for embodying in t heir report the facts which had come to their knowledge, while investigating the affairs of the County Treasury. He seems not [to] be aware of the fact, that it is the duty of the Grand Jury to report the facts that may come to their knowledge in regard to the manner in which the financial business of the county is conducted. He says he intends to establish the falsity of the report; we hope he will be able to do so, but this is the first intimation the public has had, that either the Treasurer or his friends, pretended to deny the principal charges made in the report. Even before the Grand Jury met, it was very generally believed that the Treasurer had in numerous instances collected money for six and nine months license, giving only a three months license for the same, and this belief was so well founded that the reiteration of the charge by the Grand Jury scarcely tended to confirm it. . . . If there is any undue prejudice existing against the Treasurer, it was not caused by the publication of the report; it existed before that document was penned. DISTRICT COURT—NILES SEARLS, Dist.
