The Allen County Claim.
The Supreme Court, last winter, de
cided this case, upon the CONSTITUTIONS
question. against Allen county, but re,
fused 10 determine the amoun, due from
Allen upon the ca parte finding Of the
Commissioners Of our county. Under
these circumstances Messrs. Delzell and
Richardson, Of Allen county, were ap
pointed committee to examine the
books Of this county and determine ihe
amount Allen county was entitled 10
pay. In the original finding Of our Com
missioners, which was made under Mr.
Smiths andtorsbip, some serious and
pE,judicial inaccuracies Of entry were
discovered, and their proposition n such
finding was moi satisfactory 10 our Com.
missioners, who appointed Messrs. Mon
roe and Sutton a committee TO examine
the books papers and vouchers, and
prepare statement Of tile indebtedness
10 be submitted 10 joint meeting Of The
Commissioners Of The two counties 10 be
held on the 18th inst, which was done,
and the meeting agreed upon with the
following result: e

OF this amount Allen county was
bound TO pay the sum Of $3,s46 70,
which she By her Commissioners agreed
10 do in manner following To pay
one>half on the first day Of January, 1854,
and the balance on the FIRST day Of Jan
nary, 1855, with interest on the last
from January lsi, 1854.
We learn that the Allen County Com.
missioners contemplate the making Of
the lew entirely this year, snd dis
charging this Indebtedness at once
Thus is this question disposed Of amic-
ably and bonorably TO ,he officers Of both
counties, and satisfactorily we have no
donbi 10 their people.
We do not pretend 10 say that Putnam
county has made good all the claims
which under more accurate sysiem of
bookkeeping, should have been had
against Allen county, bu, from a per-
sonal and intimate knowledge OF the
matter, we say ,ha, the best has been
done possible under the circumstances,
and that the result is one advantageous
TO our County, and which does no injns-
tice TO Allen county, and avoids The long
and wearisome delay and burdensome
expense to both counties which the
Litigation Of the case must have produced,
without varying The result in any essen
tial particular.
The amount 10 be paid from Allen
comfy will more than discharge the
indebtedness due on the judgment OBJ
tained BY Tilson against Putnam county,
and though this will not discharge all Ihe
Indebtedness Of The county, onr affairs
will thereby be in better position thaa
for years past.
