IN THE YEAR 1857

Congress passed the ordinance for the
government Of the Territory north
west of the Ohio River, and on July
p, 17Ss, Gov. st. Clair established It's
first county-Washing which en-
braced that part Of the COnneeticut
Reserve east of the CuyahOga River
and the Portage Path. In July, lT9!,
Jefferson county was established,
which county exercised jurisdiction
over this section until 1900, when on
the 10th of July, of that year, Trum-
bull County was established, embra-
cling the entire Connecticut Western
Reserve. a portion of which was still
Indian Territory, the Indian title not
being extinguished until the 4th OF
July, 1906.
The county was divided into eight
townships, as shown in the map, be-
ing the first division Of the county
into townships. The township of
Cleveland embraced within its limits
all the Reserve west of the CuyahOga,
at that time Indian Territory. The
above map, which we have just had
engraved, is entirely original aud was
drawn by the late FRANKLIN e
STOWE, ESQ, and is the first Of the
kind ever published. 1t is a histOri-
cal document of undoubted accuracy,
it is Of extraordinary value. The
map not only shows the township di-
visions, but also the extent Of the
surveys ofthe Connecticut Land Com
pany.
At the close of the last century, set

gress at Cleveland, Euclid, Newburg,

Shelby was found guilty, fined SO
and costs, S25, 50, and ordered to give
bail for good behavior in the sum OF
500.
THE FIRST ELECTIONS.
Under the Territorial government
Justices OF the Peace We're appoint
ed by the Governor, and township
officers were appointed annually by
the Justices holding the Court OF QUAR-
ter Sessions. In 1902 the Court order
ed township elections to be held on
the first Monday Of April. At the
May term Of Court, lS0l, the county
divided into two election districts /:
the townships of Cleveland, PaineS-
vile, Middlefield and Richfield con-
stituted the Northern District. The
Southern District comprised the linn
its embraced 10y Hudson, Warren,
Youngstown and Vernon. The cleo
tions were held at the tavern of Eph-
rain Quinby, in Warren.
THE FIRST COMMISSIONERS
For the county were appointed by the
Court in 1901, viz: John Leavitt, OF
Warren: Martin Smith, of Vernon ;
Solomon GriswOld, of Windsor.
THE FIRST INDICTMENT
In the county was at the second term
Of the Territorial Court Of Quarter
/ Sessions, February, 1901 against Rich
ard Storer, for the murder Of an Indi-
an. Spotted John, at the Salt Springs.
Storer having fled the country, no
trial was ever had.
COUNTY JAIL.
In May, 1901, the Court adopted q
plan for a new Jail, TO be built oi
hewed logs, double walls, fifteen inch
I es in thickness, to be 30x22 feet inside
of the walls, with hall and two rooms,
! one for criminals, l2xl6. and one fol
/ debtors, 16x1S feet, with floors Of hew'
en- timber. The Jail was immediate
I " built by Ephraim Quinby, and fol
! the energy with which he pro- eeuted
/ the work the Court allowed him SO
extra. This iail served the county fol
many years, and st the time was con
sidered an excellent one. In 1917 the
present structure, probably the oldest
I iaiI in the State, was built. 1t has al
WAYS been considereda a "fearfully ant
wonderfully made Jail, surprising al
others in being incOnvenient III
planned and unhealthy. Fifty granC
iuries have indicted it as q nuisance
and it is to be hoped that it will soor
give place TO a more nlcdern and civ
ilized prison.

Important to Money Lenders and Mon
ey Borrowers.
A case was lately decided in the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, at
Philadelphia, that may possibly be OF
some interest to bankers and business
men generally. The case is substan-
TALLY this:
A business firm borrowing a sum
Of money OF a bank deposited ss col
lateral security therefor an equal
amount of ten-forty United States
bonds. While the bonds were so held
the bank was robbed, the bonds in
question being included in the booty
secured by the robbers. The firm, be-
ing sued by the hank for the amount
of their loan, claimed that the loss
should fall upon the bank, hrst be-
cause the bank was bound, on the pay
ment of the indebtedness Of the firm,
to return to them the securities which
had been deposited by them, and sec
ondly that the bank had not used due
diligence to protect itself from rob
berry, and that not only was the loan
paid and extinguished in law and
equity by such negligent loss OF the
securities pledged, but that the bank
was bound to make good to the defen-
dants the excess in the value Of the
bonds over and above the amount Of
the loan with accruing interest. On
the first point the court held that
when the holder of the pledge exer-
else ordinary care, Notwithstanding
which the pledge is stolen, he is in
no manner responsible for the loss,
but by law can recover the amount Of
the loan from the borrower, upon
whom alone the loss of the stolen Sc
curities fall. If, however, the holder
of the securities fails to use the requi-
site degree of care, then the law
makes him responsible for the loss
and he must suffer the consequences
Of his negligence. 1t being shown
that there had been a very great de-
gree : carelessness on the part Of the
officers Of the robbed bank, in this in
stance, a judgment was rendered in
faver OF the defendants for the differ
ence between the value of the bonds
deposited and the amount of money
borrowed.

The correspondence between Secretary
Fish and sx-Ministsr Motley discloses
the fact that our government is IN accord
with that OF Great Britain and most Of
the powers OF continental Europe, on
the question Of the right Of a govern
ment 10 recognize a state Of war or bel
Iigerencv in any other country without
being called in question Tor the exercise
OF such right. It Is conceded, therefore
that the Queens proclamation Of 1851
recognizing the southern rebels as bel
ligsrents, does not in itself constitute
ground OF complaint on our part. This
being the present aspect OF the case
there is no reason why the Alabama
claims should not be speedily and salts
factorily settled.
