To IU Omrt of Common PUart in and for Knox Count) Ohio. . Tho umlonignod Commissioners of laid County, In pursuanao of tho law of April 8th, I860, and Fobraary 2ilih, 1867, rospootfally ropresorft that tba annual sottleraont with tho Auditor and Treasurer f .aid County horovfith Mod and rriada A part tun report, win giro no accurato iiatemeni nr me rocoipts and disbursotaonts of the county liaoo the annual settlemont.iri June, A. I). 1867. Tho umlorshrnod doom1 it unnoeossary to lot forth In donate, all tlieir official acta and doings for laat year; they will all be found at longth lu journal, imo to bo hood ana pxaiainou at en times, and ara liorobxvcforioJ to. Wo eonniderw propor to tato that prior to this iottloraont, wo had burrowod $11,600, to mblo the Treasurer to moot tho inmost on tho 8. M.AS It. Iload. bonds and tho exposes of tho county; nnd that In order to cnublo the Tronsuror to moot suoh exponsoi and to roimburso him for funds paid nut more than reoeivod for certain purposes; As shown in tho statement attached, it will bocumo necowiry to mike a further loan, boforo any taxos will bo paid in on the duplicate ofhe eoming year. We think it also propor to stnto that the interest Warrants fa' ling duo March 1, 1868, with the exoop-tion of lomo SJ00 on tho bonds issued for the boue-dt of the S. Mt. V. A V. R. Road Company', amounting to some $j,77i, nro unpaid, and that no moans haro boon providod for mooting tho samo. Neither hare any moans boon providod for mooting tho warrants fullingdue noxt ilnroli. The Inw authorising tho Issuing of tlioso bonds made no provisions for assessing a tax to meet such intorost. During the last sossion of the Legislature, a law was enuctod that empowers us to borrow nunoy for this purpose, as well as to assess a tax to pay tho same. When detorming tho amount of the levy for the coming joaY, it appearing that it would require a levy equal to, or greater than that of last year, in order to meet the other debts anil expenses of tho county necossa-ry to bo providod for. Under such circumstances a majority of us thought it not advisablo torrnko any levy to msot tho intorost on said bonds. All of tho stockholders whoroccived such bonds of the county, havo noglootod and rofuscd to pay tho intorost falling duo on their obligations to tho eoitnty tho last yoar, and many of thorn havo not paid anything for soveral yoars. Such stockholders havo not only neglected to pay thoir interest, but deny their liability to too county. ,A sun uas oocn cominenocu in your Vourb lor mo purpose ui lusting mis iihuiihj , nu hopo soon to ho,r of tho rnittor bein; determined in such a way as will do justloo to tho people of tho county, and as will enablo her to moot nor liability An hnr Unnri without rosortin" to taxation. If tho eowpons on thoso., bonds are mot noxt March, will become necessary to raise toe sum oi ii,oou in somo way, betwocn this and that time. The amount of flountv ordors outstanding at tho time of this "ment, was about $390. Tho taxes leviod for exhibit the present year will pay on an me ueots, nauui-tie and expanses ef tho coming year, except tho interest falling duo on tho County bonds us aforesuid.

Tho Inst Democratic Banner contains nn address direotod to you. It is prefaced by glaring capitals and signed by somo twenty one patriotic individuals,hoadod by Wm.IIartsock. ONEcfiha twenty ono wroto tha addfosi and tho other twenty evidently, kindly consented to holp lather the bintling in order to 5Muro it a standing and respectability, that tho real author's name alone would not give it. In the years 1851 and 1852,thuKno. County Bank, under the erow-bar law, paid a large amount of tuxes to our treasurer. It was paid under a protost; tho oflk-crs of tho liank claiming that it was illegal, &c. Many other Dunks in the State were compelled to pay tax es under tho same Uw, Sundry suits were brought by the Banks agaihst tho county Treasurers in various counties in tho State to recover back the money thus paid, and I be-Move in every iustance tho Banks gained the suit and tho counties rufumlud the (axes. Somo of tho Banks and amongst them tho Knox County Bank, on ono or more occasion applied (or injunctions in tho Courts of the United States enjoining the collection of the taxes and these courts granted tho injunctions holding that the tax was illegal, nnd our county was compelled to pay aomi $300 cost. The Knox County Bunk made application to tho commissioners of the county to have the money thus collected of them refundod. The commissioners, afte'duly and fairly con considering the matter, and makin; inquiries as to what other counties had done on similar applications, and as to what tho courts had decided on tho subject, paid buck td llio Brink tho money thus collided. The money was appropriated to various' bodies, and each body to whom any portion of it was appropriated was liable to refund it back to the county. The County refunded to tho BanTc $2508,70. Tho county hns got back of the city of lit. Vernon $tG0.78 ' " has got back of Clinton township $103 00 The county is to got of the 3rd Ward School district of All. Vernon, somo $541,80 Tho county loses only $1IU1,09 $2308,70 That address charges that tho whoto$2,308,. 7G is raised off you by direct tax for tho ben efit of tho Bank, when in truth but $1101,-00 is thus collected from you. Il is charged in that address that tho Commissioners wero so anxious to pay tho money back to tho bank lest somo ono should appear and contest tho claim that they borrowed thl money to piy it and you aro asked "what say you Fellow citizens, did your officers do right in thus pli-antly paying back this .$2308,00 and adding it to your taxes?" Tho author evidently intended to leave the impression on your mind, that the'comniis- sioners Tfefo'cOrnipt pliant tools of tho Knox County Bank, who were so anxious to comply with her request, that they, without any delay, or deliberation paid her back, this' money in ordor to prevent any ono from contest ing (ho claim. The record of tho commissioners, shows that tho claim was formally laid before them n tho 13lhday ol January, 1837, and that it was not adjusted until the 4th day of Juno following, timo enough, one would think, to savo thctn from so gravo a charge. It might havo been much moro satisfacto ry to tho legal gentleman who wroto that ad dress, and then got other men to assist in fa thering it, had fhb commissioners stood tho Bank a suit, and paid hiin more money to defend it, than tho codhty loses in the opera tion. Another charga mido in that address is that you aro tying' tome $G0OO. annually to meet tho interest on the County Bonds issued for the benefit ol the Sandusky, Mansfield & Newark Kail Road, when your officers hold the ogrcemen's of "certain prominent Gentlemen nf tho St i tc chiefly ol tho Repub lican party, binding them most ftok mnly to pay that interest and principal, whorl it lulls due," &o. It is further asuerlcd, "and not one step is taken to require tbesa parties to keep their engagement with your county," &c. Iloro fuliows a copy of one of thoso solemn ag-OemenW signed by John Sherman &o. Sec, and then with a great flourish of trumpets it is alledged that that ''bond was tho result of tho fearleis prosecution of your tights by a former Democratic board ofoHiccrs " Now, lot us look n little at tho actions of the former Democratic Board. That Democratic Board issusd County Bonds to tho amount of $100,000 and got in lieu of it. stock in tho S. M. & X. It. R., to tba amount ol $100,030. This stock never was and never will to worth ten coutson the dollar, while the county will haro to pay in the shapo of principal and interest on this indebtedness tho sum of $220,000. In tho year 1353, the Democratic commissioners finding they had mada a Very unprofitable investment in tho fearless prosecution of their duties, with all the assistance that the author ol that address could render for $1000, and also tho assistance of some other Jf gal gortlcmon atari additional expense of$l 183.97 .sold tho $100, 000 stock tho county had In that Road, to some ten or twelve different persons, only two of whom resides in Knox County, the others reside In four different counties. In 1854 tho purchasers paid tba county interest to tho amount of 3300,00. - instead of $6CO0, tl they had agreed to do; ' " Can tha author of that address tall why that "fearless" Democratic board did not sue and recover lbs remaining; $2700, In the ytar 1855, these purchasers paid tha County In tares t to tba amount of $1,350, only twool that "fearless" democratic Board were still in oCQot . Who Can tell wbf thsy did not canH suit to ba brought for recovery of the $ 1,050. If those fearless ofllcors done no much to favor 'prominent gentlemen' of tho Republican party what could we expect from them in Case the sale had been made to prominent gentlemen of tho democratic parly? On tho 3d day of Soptembor, A. D. 1855 that fearless Pemocratic Boat d, finding that the purchasers of tho County Stock did not pay up their interest that not much over ono half of tho amount of tho Bonds taken wero worth tho paper they wero written on, & that it would prove a poor btinness to employ and pay lawyers all over tho State, and bring suits at tho end of each year against cadi purchaser for tho interest give security for costs, and pay thorn, when beten on execution of fered, to reduce tho bonds given by the pur chasers thirty cents on tho dollar hy way of coaxing out some of the buck iutoicst due. This proved a failure. Tho next fall after this tha board bocaino Republican. Some considerable efforts havo been undo in a spir it of fairness and kindness to make a satisfactory adjustment of tho mutter lietween the county nnd tht purchasers all has failed and noth ng been accomplished. You may ask why suit hai not been brought. It would require 'iiora titua and space to answer this question fully than can now bo taken. The law authorizes the Commissioners to tako that stock pledged tho faith of the coun ty and tho nolt profits or dividend n;ioi tha Stock for the pay ment ol the bonds ixsucd by the County. Tha saina law allowed tho Com missioners to s ll snid Slock, but provided "that no safe or transfer oj the Sfork th is oicne l by the Count y nUilt be of any force tx:-rjit condition of polucing its full par value ami (lie actual extinguishment or cancellation ot an equivalent amount of obligations of tin County created under this ad." Now in the face of this law. thai Democratic Board sold tha StocK of tha County not nt par but on Iongcicdit, and without llie aiin-guishment or canceluli.m of a single d liar ol County Bonds. The Commissioners in so do. ing violated the pledges the act gives to the holders of tho County Bonds, tbtft tho protlts or dividends of s?id Stock should ba pledged for their payment They also were' guilty in soiling said Stock on time nnd not cancelling an equal amount of County Bonds, of an net which tho law expressly provides bhall be of no force or validity. The purchasers of said Stock have not told the Commission rs "that tho contncl is un constitutional." They claim, however, the right to hold tho Commissioners to tha express provisions of that act. It may b that their claim is a "silly subterfuge" I hav heard tho gentleman who wroto the address set i-toie on quite us ''silly subterfuges" as this. The Commissioners expect and intend huiv. ever, that tlu purchasers of said stock shall have the privelege of makinggood their claim in a Court of Just:ce, ii they can. The result ar-y prove tha' tho Democratic Board who took that stock and then sold it, may, after all, find theiruchievemems handed down to future generations with tho wondrous wise man of Newington. Again it is charged in that address that the affairs of tho county in regard to tha Sonng-ficld, Mt. Vernon & Pittsburgh Iload are badly managed. That but ono of the stockholders who obtained county bonds has been sued, although all nro in default in paying up their interest. That no attention is paid to tho suit, that not ono of tho Ccmmissioners had interest enough in tha casa f) attend 'to the trial of il, at tho last term. That some of them, as wo aro info- med, have been Known to express themselves in groat doubt o' tho success of the suit a very good way to insure its defeat, &e , &c. These charges are almost a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end, afi'tf thoy wind up with a mean, unmanly in-sinuation, calculated and inleudod to leave tho impression on (ho mindsof tho reader I hut the Commissioners of the county aro combining and confederating with tha stockholders o( that road to cheat the county out of its just dues and that they are doing this bec iu-o u.ost of tneso stockholders nro pVorunetit Republicans who aro anxious for the re electio:. ol MV.

To my certain knawledte, tho Cuiimis- sioners of tha cottnly have done all lhat lays lit their power to get a hearing on t'.tat ease at tho earliest possible moment. It has not been left to "slutnber" for years from any tit gleet of theirs. Tho lawyers whoso business it was to represent the count', and who, I believe, done it faiihfully, were thoso chosen by that fcarlcs3 Democrat ic Board so much admired by the author of that address. During tho trial one, if not two, of the present Board, were by a portion of tho timo the trial was in progress. I am fully satisfied that the interests of Iho county wero just as well looked After and that her right will be as well maintained as if tho author of that address h.ul been tho chiof oounsel- lor for tho county, with the old Democratic Board stationed at his right hand and the now Republican Board on his left, from tho beginning to tho end of tha trial. " As to the charge that some of the present Board, have been known to express themselves In great doubt of tba guctioss of tho suit, tire author of that article, may have boon so in- j formed, yet there is not a word of truth m it, dof the least foundation, for it. 1 never expressed any doubt.and ao far as I know or bellcto the other members havo never expres-rod any such doutrtr Tha reason that bot one' suit has been cortlfBended ia that-the decflutori oT one case will determine all.

I am fiou to admit thatour tuxes arc heavy and hard to bo borre, yet ihe Commissioners caanot lie justly blamed for it. The taxes collected for county purposes now under Repiildicun dlicers, are not as heavy as they were under the Detnocralic reign.

From this statement, it appears that tho inXvi col-leetd for county purposes, for tha year 185C & 57, are lower than they have been for thirteen years previous. Tho greatest portion of th( expenses paid by the county, aro nut within the control nf the Commissioners. They cannot increase or diminish llieiti. but ar-s bound lo provide for payti g them.
