TIE Chicago Post, as the re-
suit of inquiry as to who owns
the Bonds, says of certain no.
ted mon of wealth in that city;
"Mr. Newberry, who runs up
into the millions, has not a
bond to his name-not one.-
Mr.. Ogden is barren also. P.
F. w. Peck is as guiltless of
bonds as of sound lungs and
high health. Potter Palmer is
a bachelor, net in bonds at all.
Mr.. Scammon has not, We are
told, a dollar in bonds in his
own right. DR.. Foster is in
the same case: and, with one
exception in the person of Mr..
Hadduck, none of our rich men
we mean men with large ac-
cumulated capital not employ.
ed in their daily business-is a
bondholder. OF tho wealthy
business men, it may be said
that they never see a bond, ex-
cept in the way of trade, that
is as collateral security. for
debt"

Der, 1866, all of which We be-
lieye to be contrary to the
laws of 1863, 1854, 1865 and '66,
regulating or fixing the fees Of
said offices. We consider that
the law makes it the duty of
the Auditor and Treasurer to
make their Semi-Annual Settle
ment, and that if it is required
to employ parties to make said
settlement, that the expense Of
the same should have been
paid by the said Auditors, and
not by the county.
We also find that Henry Rey.
nolds, as Treasurer, was allowed
the sum of 500 at the settle
ment ofSeptember, 1865, which
we think clearly an error, and
in violation of law or acts
passed by the Legislature April
13, 1865. Said act was designed
to and did increase the percen-
tum allowed County Treasurers
on settlement, and repealed the
law authorizing Commissioners
to make additional allowances.
Inclosing the report to your
Honor, we would respectfully
further say that, there is with
out doubt, many important er'
rors made in the books of the
County Offices, caused, perhaps,
by placing them under the con.
troll of inexperienced or incom-
petent officers, and without
some proper instructions as to
the duties ola County Auditor,
mistakes and errors will ap-
pear, and result in q loss to
your county, as we'll as indi-
viduals, and complicate matters
in such q manner as to make it
impossible to arrive at correct
conclusions.
Respectfully Submitted

out giving him credit on the
Fund from whence it
was taken. The action of the
Commissioners or the Auditor
in making said transfer leaves
the said Foreman minus the
S22, which we would recon-
mend should be refunded to
him from the County Fund
Our attention being called to
the settlement of the collection
and disbursement of the Mill
tary or Communication Fund of
your county, we requested the
records of the collections as
made by the Auditor and Treas
urer Of said fund, and was in
formed that the only record
that had been kept was a small
blank book kept by the Treas
urer, whom it would appear had
the entire control of both the
collection and disbursement of
that fund-the Auditor whose
duty it was to have kept a cor
rect record and copy of the re-
ceipts of said fund and charged
the Treasurer with the same
failed to do so. 1t is claimed
by the said David Foreman, that
in his settlement with II. Q,
Moore, Auditor, that he was er-
roneously charged with the
collection of $1420-79-100 as
the amount of said Commuta'
ton Fund collected by him af
ter deducting his fees, and that
on his final settlement he ac'
counted for and paid to his sue
cessor the above sum, which he
claims as an error, and pre-
sents the memorandum booh
as kept by him to show that
the total amount Of said col
lection was Sl36S, upon whicl
he was entitled to a fee of five
per cent, amounting to 1858 40
100, making net collections o
said fund $1299-60-100; and he
therefore claims the differenc.
which would be $121-19-10(
over paid by him. Just how he
came to be charged with the
sum of S1420-79-100 by the
Auditor, we are unable 10 fine
out as there seems to be nc
account kept by the Auditor O
said collections that can be
found, we are therefore of the
opinion that said claim is one
that demands an examination
By the Board of Commission
ers, and if an error (which We
think there is, J they alone have
the power to correct it.
Our attention was called to
investigate the fees and allow
ances made by your County
Commissioners to the Auditors
and Treasurers during the same
terms. We find at the close
of the term of Nelson Rich
mond in March, 1S63;-that he
was paid in full for his services
as Auditor up to that date. AT
said date Mr.. A. N. Cozad be-
come Auditor; during the same
year he was allowed the sum
Of Sls9-52-1O0 for doing the un
finished work Of the said Rich
mond! We are unable to in.
form your Honor what work the
said Richmond left unfinished,
if any, but that the county had
paid the said Richmond in full,
as appears by his settlement
before leaving the Office is
clear if the said Richmond left
part Of his work unfinished for
which he had received pay, we
are Of opinion that he, instead
of the county, should have paid
the said Cozad. If there was
no such work unfinished, as we
are informed by Mr.. Richmond,
then the county would sustain
that amount as a loss. We also
find an allowance made to said
Cozad in the year 1854 of $3.50
charged as extra services, in ad,
dition to his fees allowed by
law, which we think is a viola.

TO the Honorable Court c Com.

Ohio: t l.'' '''''.
The undersigned having re.
ceived notice from your Hon.
or, that they had been appoint
ed as commissioners to make
an investigation of the books
and accounts Of the Auditors
and Treasurers of Vinton Co.,
met, in accordance with your
order, at the Auditors office,
on the 9th day of December,
1857. AT said meeting, Mr..
Pickering, one of said commits
sioners, not being present, we
adjourned to meet on the 26th
day of said month. At said
meeting, Mr.. Mayo, one Of
said commissioners, being alb.
sent we again adjourned to
meet on the Goth day of Jan
uary, 1868. At said meeting
there was present, Mayo, Hawk
and Pickering, all of said com
missioners, and it was deter,
mined at said meeting that
your committee would comply
with your order, so far as to
make said investigation from
March, 1868, and continue the
same to March, 1867, believing
that if there should prove to
be errors in said books, as
claimed by David Foreman, ex-
Treasurer of your county, that
the same would appear within
said dates. We were also in
formed that this investigation
had been asked for by the said
Foreman, and that your Board
of County Commissions ers had
declined to have an investiga-
tion made upon his application
to them. We therefore com.
menced our examination, be-
ginning at the March settle.
ment of 1868, and from cur.
sorry examination of said set.
Element, we are Of opinion that
the same is correct. We then
took the balances of said set
Element, and enaeavcred to ex'
anime the entries made pj tse
Auditor of the various receipts
and disbursements IRON March,
1858, to September, 1865; owing
to the manner in which we
found the entries there made,
we we're unable to make cor
rect balances on the various
funds. We therefore con.
cluded, as the principal errors
claimed by said Foreman was
in School Funds, We would
endeavor to find the correct
balances of said fund at the
time the said Foreman took
charge of his Office as Treasur.

mon School Fund is a fund
