-art;- ' 1 ', f- f!Of r rrrr ! -I , a j -i - i - - I? VOLUME XXIII; MOUNT VERNON, OHIO : TUESDAXr OCrrOBEll -It,:; 1859. NU3IBER : 25. JsxLjez c 'jaA . Te the Honorable Judje of the Court Common Plesa pf Kuox County, Ohio. The 0Tder5ued Commissioners of Knox bounty, "Ohio, in accordance with the Act of rApril 8, 1856, heiewiih present their Third An Vina! lieport of (be Fiuauci&I ' Affairs of said I'ountjr for the year ending June, 1859. The Bta'tfctnePt attached shows the recipU and dis-iurameuts of the various accounts as made out y the Auditor and Treasurer and which we be-. 'lieve to be correct. Notwithstanding the cdun Sy axpenses for the last yenr are aomewhat heavy "we have the satisfaction of knowing that a very "sin all portion of it has been caused by any act Tjf ours. The only moneys we caused to be expended were $308, for protecting the Dry Creek iSrilye, aud in repairing the road leading from -Mouut Vernon to Columbus where it bad been Vawhed away by the waters of said stream and 1es than $200 for improvements and repairs on "id about the Court House, Jail Yard, Sic. The remaining expenses were for matters over Hviiich we have no control and nothing to do vmh. other than to provide the means for meeting the sume. We refer to this because many f-rrple are under the iuipresaion that the Com tnido'iTyners are accountable for the bib taxes they are compelled to pay, while in fact less than cne bundieth part of the taxes collected the last year has been expended under their diree-tion. - Without intending to cast reflections on any one connected with the administration of our criiinal code, we cannot holp believing that if our Justices, -Constables, Sherifl s Prosecuting T Attorneys, Grand J urea, your lloucrable Court irprlf as welt as all pood citizens would do more to iiHM)irie doubtful prosecutions and to sustain meritorious ones and to avoid all unnecee-eary cost, a much less expenditure of mouey would be suflioient to etfoct the ol jVct of our criminal laws. As wUl be seen from the ac-cuuof attached th' expenses comiecteil with- the enforcement of our -riminal laws for the last year will amount to something, near' $1000, full one fourth of the County expenses. . A considerable sum could also be saved each year, bf having suitable apartments fitted up at the County Infirmary for the accommodation of insane." persons. Such persons can be maintained-thfre for less than one half what th law allows our Jailor fur maintaining the same. The-Infirmary directors could also sava some hundreds f doilais ea -b year. by having an addition "attach-' ed to thr Infira.ary building: ".-They have frequently been compJIed to proJLide for out door V paiipers for want' f-room,-at a mugii greater ex-pen te than would have been necessary,; .if -.they had had room for them in the Infirmary. At ti e Mai cli session of Coinniissionery, under the Act of Aril 12, we set apart on -h -If of the road tux :f the present year to be collect d in inoney7fo be hiid out in putting lip Bridges. It is dt sint d by us'to expend ibis nm in-siuh a way iw to benefit tho.e portions of. the County not h reti fore benefiicd by bini;ea arid at the 'tine time with some regard " to the Townships' nd sections .from which the moneys will mostly l raised. II a bimifnr amount is set spurt fur thut purpose for the next four years, a good sub-stanti.il bridge can be put up at ev rv ptiint in the county where ore is necessary. If our county whs so bridged, the increased value it would give to our lauds would far more than cover the the expenditure of erecting them, to say noihintr' of the great convenience itwouil be to a irtrgc iriKjority of our tax payers. Some dissatisfac :ivu will necessarily he created in locating. -.the ?ites for the bridges to be put up the present se.a - jftn. We will expect i hose who are in want of nch improvements to bear in mind the itiipos.i-hilitv of providing for all at the same tiine, Htsd that if w should err this year, we will correet it next.1 We Hre fully awnre of the blighting t-ff-ct . of the late frost, upon the prospects of our tar-;mers and of the opposition tliHt some men may raise to an expe.nditnre f.r bridges the "present season. For the information ofLftuch .and-onr own justificati'.m, we will here say that ""we -set apart at our M ir"ch se-tsiou the proporton of the road tx to lw collected in m mey for that put-' pose long before the frost cutoff your prospects of a bountiful' crop. If? ad ktion to the moneys we have" set apart for the purpose of erecting bridges,, we expect to realizw in th course ofihe next-twenty four months Kme $3000. out of surplus Ilevenue moneys, in the course of collections which we intend to use for that purpose. - Du ring the last year some progress has been made in the suit pending with Amos Nichols, one of the stoekho'ders in the Springfield. Mount Wr non L Pittsburg Rail Road. The legal points determined ui this rase are such as to leave no doubt but what a favorable result, will follow in .the Common Plea. It will in alf probabili y be appealed, when it will be disposed of in the District Court with the mass of b'tsinss lied up " there and the inefficient means provided for d is posing of it is not easily told. As for all our other acts and proceedings, they witl b found entered upon the Journal open-io any Commit tee appointed by the Court to examine at all reasonable times and Ui all others. We deem it proper to say that owing to the change, in the mode of collectfhfiTtaxes and making settlement semi annually, we were under the irapressioo at our June session that the time for making the report had been extended until the settlement - between the Auditor and Treasurer in August coTering the moneys paid in after the February settlement had been mad. In thi we were mistaken, bat as there has been no Court einoe our meeting in June at whirh. any order. cnld be made in relation to our Report, we presume our error will h of but little importance.

Of all the instances of brazen impudence which political ambition has furnished, we remember none that afford a parallel to that which is presented by Salmon P. Chase traveling over Ohio assailing .democrats for the losses which were brought 00 the Treasury through Breslins deposits with i broken banka; .Tbs extent of Chase's impudebce ia' this matter stands out In full brazenneas when the fact is called to mind that the very largest 099 sustained ; by Breslin ihroufebf any sing banlr aa the 'SEVENTY; NIN THOUSAND DOLLARS sunk in the City Bank of Cincinnati specially recommended to Breslin's cocfidencw by Chase himself That all may again see and read his letter we give it below: ' - .''.,'" -:;"- . - , . ; .; .'

P. CHASE. Here are ttdo of the Totteoest banks that ever existed in Ohio, privately recommended to Breslin even before he had yet got possession of his office! . , One tf these was the mere shell of what was left of John H. Jame's -Urbana Bank removed to Cincinnati. The other was the City Bank which Chase assured Breslin - was "A SAFE INSTITUTION" and that it was managed (mark you!) by liberal" men. This latter intimation, under the seal of nccrecy, was en-- o ugh for Breslin. He took Chase's hint and the City Bank took and has retail. ed the money: Did Chase know that the City Bank was rot-te? Can he pretend to have been ignorant that it Was an utterly unsafe institution? We wHl give uo opinion. of our own, on this question. We will take the stateuient of a Legislative Committee of Btrong Republicans. Let them say what was the history and . character of this City Bank located within a few doors of Chase's own law office in Cincinnati. Oa page 9 of a Report made January, 1857, by a Joint Finance Legislative Committee appointed : to examine into the condition of the State Treasury, we find l be folio wiogi - - , - - j'The Committee are also satisfied that large deposits were made in the City Bank by Mr. Breslin, before the opening of navagatton in 1852, not only from an inspection of the books of the Bank, but from the report of W, F. Johnson, who examined that institution April 7, 1852. Tho report of Mr. Johnson was made to tha Auditor of State, April 13, 1852," and teas by him communicated to the Senate on the ZQihday rf the tame month. . From the statement of its assets, and otherwise, io Mr. John sons report of April, 1852. the Bank appears to have been IN A ROTTEN CONDITION; a cond ilion thai could not 7iac been unkttoicn. to the business men of Cincinnati; and could not have escaped the observation of A. PERSON OF ORDINARY INTELLIGENCE, seeking a safe depository of large amounts of money The City Bank of Cincinnati was organized in May, 1845, by fire persons, the principal of whom was a broker; "was subsequently sold to a citizen of Cincinnati and a Ne w York broker, aod was again sold in 1850, having thus in five tears three sets of owners. With this bistort. NECESSARILY PUBLIC, a sound institution and public credit could not he hoped for. ea J: - - ii. W. TAYLOR, (Signed B. F. SMITH, VCoin JOHN A. SIN NET. .

If be was, then the Committee the Republican Committee, hedkd bt THE PRESENT RePCBLICAN C1SD1DATE FOR ACDI- tor of State, says he MUST HAVE KNOWN the bank to have been rotten when he basely re commended it to Breslin's favor and confidence! Yet in the face of a record such as is here presented, this arch political gamester has the brazen impudence to travel over the State as sailing Lis old confidential correspondent and seeking to throw an unjust responsibility for the Treasury defalcation on men whose efforts to in. duerice Breslin were counteracted oy secret ap pliances of whieh the "private" City Bank letter of Salmon P.

' V Voters, Read Read I Financieringr v?ithout aa rndependent Treasury Law The Beauti of Denni-son's old System. It argues little for Dennison's sagacity, that be should,; .after the extraordinary exposures of frauds, robberies and Iosae? to the State, under the old system, to prevent which the Treasury law was passed, still insist before the people on a return to the old law and practice. We give below some of the facts, showing the titter ineGcaey of all former legislation in protecting the Treasury. Dennison argues that the Kelly law, reqnirirg banks to give ample bonds to secure loans to them from the State Treasury, was a good enough law and answered all purposes. What does he think of the loan o the Columbus Insurance Company ten years ago, of $100,000, not a dollar of which has as yet found rta way back into the Treasury, although the company gave as securities Drake, Buttles, and five other wealthy citizens of Ohio. , LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER Tbain the absence of an Independent Treasury Law, tn December, 1849, the old Whig Fund Commissioners, Buss, S11X and Woods, loiited TO TBK CoLCilBCS lR8UAKCxCoEPAirr $100,000, taking bond and security therejor, and that not one cent therehf has ever been vaid, or in all probability ever vUl be.

Te the Honorable Judje of the Court Common Plesa pf Kuox County, Ohio. The 0Tder5ued Commissioners of Knox bounty, "Ohio, in accordance with the Act of rApril 8, 1856, heiewiih present their Third An Vina! lieport of (be Fiuauci&I ' Affairs of said I'ountjr for the year ending June, 1859. The Bta'tfctnePt attached shows the recipU and dis-iurameuts of the various accounts as made out y the Auditor and Treasurer and which we be-. 'lieve to be correct. Notwithstanding the cdun Sy axpenses for the last yenr are aomewhat heavy "we have the satisfaction of knowing that a very "sin all portion of it has been caused by any act Tjf ours. The only moneys we caused to be expended were $308, for protecting the Dry Creek iSrilye, aud in repairing the road leading from -Mouut Vernon to Columbus where it bad been Vawhed away by the waters of said stream and 1es than $200 for improvements and repairs on "id about the Court House, Jail Yard, Sic. The remaining expenses were for matters over Hviiich we have no control and nothing to do vmh. other than to provide the means for meeting the sume. We refer to this because many f-rrple are under the iuipresaion that the Com tnido'iTyners are accountable for the bib taxes they are compelled to pay, while in fact less than cne bundieth part of the taxes collected the last year has been expended under their diree-tion. - Without intending to cast reflections on any one connected with the administration of our criiinal code, we cannot holp believing that if our Justices, -Constables, Sherifl s Prosecuting T Attorneys, Grand J urea, your lloucrable Court irprlf as welt as all pood citizens would do more to iiHM)irie doubtful prosecutions and to sustain meritorious ones and to avoid all unnecee-eary cost, a much less expenditure of mouey would be suflioient to etfoct the ol jVct of our criminal laws. As wUl be seen from the ac-cuuof attached th' expenses comiecteil with- the enforcement of our -riminal laws for the last year will amount to something, near' $1000, full one fourth of the County expenses. . A considerable sum could also be saved each year, bf having suitable apartments fitted up at the County Infirmary for the accommodation of insane." persons. Such persons can be maintained-thfre for less than one half what th law allows our Jailor fur maintaining the same. The-Infirmary directors could also sava some hundreds f doilais ea -b year. by having an addition "attach-' ed to thr Infira.ary building: ".-They have frequently been compJIed to proJLide for out door V paiipers for want' f-room,-at a mugii greater ex-pen te than would have been necessary,; .if -.they had had room for them in the Infirmary. At ti e Mai cli session of Coinniissionery, under the Act of Aril 12, we set apart on -h -If of the road tux :f the present year to be collect d in inoney7fo be hiid out in putting lip Bridges. It is dt sint d by us'to expend ibis nm in-siuh a way iw to benefit tho.e portions of. the County not h reti fore benefiicd by bini;ea arid at the 'tine time with some regard " to the Townships' nd sections .from which the moneys will mostly l raised. II a bimifnr amount is set spurt fur thut purpose for the next four years, a good sub-stanti.il bridge can be put up at ev rv ptiint in the county where ore is necessary. If our county whs so bridged, the increased value it would give to our lauds would far more than cover the the expenditure of erecting them, to say noihintr' of the great convenience itwouil be to a irtrgc iriKjority of our tax payers. Some dissatisfac :ivu will necessarily he created in locating. -.the ?ites for the bridges to be put up the present se.a - jftn. We will expect i hose who are in want of nch improvements to bear in mind the itiipos.i-hilitv of providing for all at the same tiine, Htsd that if w should err this year, we will correet it next.1 We Hre fully awnre of the blighting t-ff-ct . of the late frost, upon the prospects of our tar-;mers and of the opposition tliHt some men may raise to an expe.nditnre f.r bridges the "present season. For the information ofLftuch .and-onr own justificati'.m, we will here say that ""we -set apart at our M ir"ch se-tsiou the proporton of the road tx to lw collected in m mey for that put-' pose long before the frost cutoff your prospects of a bountiful' crop. If? ad ktion to the moneys we have" set apart for the purpose of erecting bridges,, we expect to realizw in th course ofihe next-twenty four months Kme $3000. out of surplus Ilevenue moneys, in the course of collections which we intend to use for that purpose. - Du ring the last year some progress has been made in the suit pending with Amos Nichols, one of the stoekho'ders in the Springfield. Mount Wr non L Pittsburg Rail Road. The legal points determined ui this rase are such as to leave no doubt but what a favorable result, will follow in .the Common Plea. It will in alf probabili y be appealed, when it will be disposed of in the District Court with the mass of b'tsinss lied up " there and the inefficient means provided for d is posing of it is not easily told. As for all our other acts and proceedings, they witl b found entered upon the Journal open-io any Commit tee appointed by the Court to examine at all reasonable times and Ui all others. We deem it proper to say that owing to the change, in the mode of collectfhfiTtaxes and making settlement semi annually, we were under the irapressioo at our June session that the time for making the report had been extended until the settlement - between the Auditor and Treasurer in August coTering the moneys paid in after the February settlement had been mad. In thi we were mistaken, bat as there has been no Court einoe our meeting in June at whirh. any order. cnld be made in relation to our Report, we presume our error will h of but little importance.

Of all the instances of brazen impudence which political ambition has furnished, we remember none that afford a parallel to that which is presented by Salmon P. Chase traveling over Ohio assailing .democrats for the losses which were brought 00 the Treasury through Breslins deposits with i broken banka; .Tbs extent of Chase's impudebce ia' this matter stands out In full brazenneas when the fact is called to mind that the very largest 099 sustained ; by Breslin ihroufebf any sing banlr aa the 'SEVENTY; NIN THOUSAND DOLLARS sunk in the City Bank of Cincinnati specially recommended to Breslin's cocfidencw by Chase himself That all may again see and read his letter we give it below: ' - .''.,'" -:;"- . - , . ; .; .'

P. CHASE. Here are ttdo of the Totteoest banks that ever existed in Ohio, privately recommended to Breslin even before he had yet got possession of his office! . , One tf these was the mere shell of what was left of John H. Jame's -Urbana Bank removed to Cincinnati. The other was the City Bank which Chase assured Breslin - was "A SAFE INSTITUTION" and that it was managed (mark you!) by liberal" men. This latter intimation, under the seal of nccrecy, was en-- o ugh for Breslin. He took Chase's hint and the City Bank took and has retail. ed the money: Did Chase know that the City Bank was rot-te? Can he pretend to have been ignorant that it Was an utterly unsafe institution? We wHl give uo opinion. of our own, on this question. We will take the stateuient of a Legislative Committee of Btrong Republicans. Let them say what was the history and . character of this City Bank located within a few doors of Chase's own law office in Cincinnati. Oa page 9 of a Report made January, 1857, by a Joint Finance Legislative Committee appointed : to examine into the condition of the State Treasury, we find l be folio wiogi - - , - - j'The Committee are also satisfied that large deposits were made in the City Bank by Mr. Breslin, before the opening of navagatton in 1852, not only from an inspection of the books of the Bank, but from the report of W, F. Johnson, who examined that institution April 7, 1852. Tho report of Mr. Johnson was made to tha Auditor of State, April 13, 1852" and teas by him communicated to the Senate on the ZQihday rf the tame month. . From the statement of its assets, and otherwise, io Mr. John sons report of April, 1852. the Bank appears to have been IN A ROTTEN CONDITION; a cond ilion thai could not 7iac been unkttoicn. to the business men of Cincinnati; and could not have escaped the observation of A. PERSON OF ORDINARY INTELLIGENCE, seeking a safe depository of large amounts of money The City Bank of Cincinnati was organized in May, 1845, by fire persons, the principal of whom was a broker; "was subsequently sold to a citizen of Cincinnati and a Ne w York broker, aod was again sold in 1850, having thus in five tears three sets of owners. With this bistort. NECESSARILY PUBLIC, a sound institution and public credit could not he hoped for. ea J: - - ii. W. TAYLOR, (Signed B. F. SMITH, VCoin JOHN A. SIN NET. .

' V Voters, Read Read I Financieringr v?ithout aa rndependent Treasury Law The Beauti of Denni-son's old System. It argues little for Dennison's sagacity, that be should,; .after the extraordinary exposures of frauds, robberies and Iosae? to the State, under the old system, to prevent which the Treasury law was passed, still insist before the people on a return to the old law and practice. We give below some of the facts, showing the titter ineGcaey of all former legislation in protecting the Treasury. Dennison argues that the Kelly law, reqnirirg banks to give ample bonds to secure loans to them from the State Treasury, was a good enough law and answered all purposes. What does he think of the loan o the Columbus Insurance Company ten years ago, of $100,000, not a dollar of which has as yet found rta way back into the Treasury, although the company gave as securities Drake, Buttles, and five other wealthy citizens of Ohio. , LET THE PEOPLE REMEMBER Tbain the absence of an Independent Treasury Law, tn December, 1849, the old Whig Fund Commissioners, Buss, S11X and Woods, loiited TO TBK CoLCilBCS lR8UAKCxCoEPAirr $100,000, taking bond and security therejor, and that not one cent therehf has ever been vaid, or in all probability ever vUl be.
