FINANCING ANN. FIsHTING.-A sharp fight
has been going On for the last six months
between the Auditor of State, Secretary OF
State, and Attorney General, on the one
side, as Commissioners e~r-96fcio of the Sink
ing Fund, and the Treasurer Of State on the
other. With the merits Of the controversy
the pubic are but little concerned; but in
the expense oft every taxpayer is more or
less interested. The fact seems to be, that
on the LIST of July last, $780, 900 was to be
drawn from the Treasury at Columbus, and
transferred to New York, there to be dis
bursed in payment OF the interest then be-
coming due on the foreign debt OF the state
The payment had always, before the new Or
der of things, been made through the Ohio
Life Insurance and Trust Company, as A.
gent, at the Office of that institution IN New
York. The State had never lost anything
by it, and the creditors ef the State asked
for no change. The Sinking Fund Com
missioners, however, concluded to haDcle
the money themselves, knowing that per-
haps in the operation some OF the dross
would adhere to their figures. Accordingly
they appointed one Of their number, Mr..
VIM. Trevitt, Transfer and Discussing A
gent, and attempted to pass the $45O,OOo
into his hands. The Treasurer OF State, Mr..
Breslin, declined to become a arty to this
arrangement, protested the draft drawn
upon him for the amount, and paid the inter
est, himself, through the Trust Company as
Agent, in New York.
Now look at the expense. Trevitt went
to New York, as Disbursing Agent, staid
there three weeks, did-nothing, and returned
home to "report the facts to the board
When he got to Columbus, it was soon as
certained that the Treasurer was in New
York, and all three of the commissioner
posted off together in pursuit Of him. Ate
a long hunt they found him, and the four
constituting nearly the whole State Govern
ment of Ohio, quarreled the matter over
several days, and returned no wiser than they
went, except that the Commissioners had al
> opportunity of learning they were not quite
fast enough for the Treasurer. The COS
