Comfy Finances.

The Financial Exhibit Of this county,
to be found in another column, shows
the present debt to be s7904 A A, hay-
ing been diminished in the past year
S2g 90 4. OF this debt, S5056 88 is
in the form of funded orders; $4,000
borrowed money, and S847 Sc 4 of
claims upon the books and orders in cir
culation. The basis of this debt, it viii
be remembered by many, was arrived at
several years ago with much toll and
labor, by committee appointed for that
purpose. 1t was then thought to be
full large, but now if an opinion is given
at all, it must be that it was very nearly
correct, if not altogether so. This is in
fact rather a prosperous state of affairs,
when compared with the exhibit of the
condition of some other counties.
With the large amount levied as a
sinking fund the present year, eleven
hundred dollars, in addition to the usu-
al county levy for revenue purposes, it
is confidently expected that all orders
not funded will be redeemed this year,
and thereafter orders will be at par, in
stead of discount of FIVE, ten, and twen-
tY per cent.

Ths Usnvistisz ef kh..nae ana Btn1Isy,
KIssASE and FTxDLxT, Of the Cincin-
matt forgery cases, were both found gull
ty. The case was given to the Jury on
Saturday evening, and the jury returned
their verdict on Monday morning.
Findley being under bonds, and not in
the custody Of the Sheriff, absconded be-
fore the jury returned the verdict
Kissane is in custody, awaiting his SEN
tence. Judge Walker made motion
for new trial as to Kissane, which was
to have been argued on Saturday last.
The Commercial makes the following
remarks:
Never was the verdict of a Jury re-
ceiyed with more heartfelt approval by
the whole community, than that which
terminated the extraordinary trial of
these persons. There is no feeling of
hatred or malignity towards these indi-
viduals, especially is this true with re-
gard to the unfortunate young man now
lying in a narrow cell of the county iail
awaiting his sentence. Nothing but
pity is felt for William Kissaue. But he
was guilty of this astounding forgery,
and up to the moment when the awful
words, "7Re forged check Is IN Rissane's
hand tcritingl" was pronounced by Maj.
johnson, he maintained front as bra
zen, and protested bis innocence as firm
ly as did DR.. Webster, after the murder
of Parkman. And there gathered
around this young man set of desper-
ate men, strong in ill-gotten gains, and
in the command of certain evil influences
which seem ever to stand like giant
scarecrows across the pathway of human
Justice; these men and such influences
were brought to bear with power on the
community, and particularly upon every
individual who dared to say that there
were unexplained circumstances, and
that the accused ought to be tried by
jury of their peers. One gentleman
was knocked down and nearly killed by
one of the well dressed rufians of the
Martha Washington and bank forgery
gang. An honest wool and leather deal
er Of northern 0hio-in the course Of
an attempt to recover property out of
which the same gang had swindled him
had run across the web of their vii
lainies and became so entangled therein
that he was driven to choose between
the guilt of becoming an accomplice, or
the imminent danger of boarding the
desperadoes. and dragging them to JUS
tice. Sidney c. Burton had the honesty
and the heroism to determine upon the
latter course, though he wept like a
child before he could conclude to arrest
men whose families he would gladly
have spared. This man has been abused
by respectable counsel and scoundrel
clients; dogged and waylaid for his fife.
An attempt was even made to lay rude
hands upon the Press; its conductors
were sued for libel, and threatened with
personal violence by the Forgers and
their sureties.
