All Of these were ordered before Dr.

lie says Judge Livingston told Bushong
that Mey csuld make no miStuke IN paying
these items, and that it was proper for the
county to pay the whole bill. Some 41S
paid for fancy tavern licenses were to be
stricken out. DR.. Urban says Judge Liv-
ingston did not say the county was liable
tOr the bill, but he recommended the com
missioners to pay it, and it's items are
such as Judge Livingston marked on
Eaby's paper as those blanks which the
county ought to pay for
Thus fortified with Judge Livingston re-
commendation, Urban secured BushOng's
assent to pay the bill, but by that time
COble had backed cut and would not
agree to pay it unless BushOng would
agree to pay McNIelIens $500 bill, and
then it was agreed that they would pay
both bills, and it was done on Friday
afternoon.
MIR. Urban says he knows OF no "juIi-
cial decisions as to the liability of the
county for these blanks He understands
that Judge Livingston thinks the county
onght to pay for such rs remain in the
office rs records after they are filled out.
What Eaby Knows.
Geo. W. Eaby, late deputy under
Urban and now clerk himself, says that
sometime ago he made out list of all the
blanks used in his Office, took it to Judge
Livingston and had him mark on it what
tie county Oueh to pay for. He showed
that list to Urban and he may have used
it to explain to the commissioners what
Judge Livingston thought they ought to
pay for. He declined to show the repre-
sentative of the lNTEILIGENCER that list
as Judge Livingston had marked it until
he had consulted the judge, who was out
OF town when this interview WIS had and
has not yet returned.
Blanks Used in the Offices,
Upon inquiry at the parliamentary Of
flee, we learned that blank narrs and other
papers sold there for the accommodation
of lawyers, OF kept for the rrOthonotary's
convenience, which become part of the
public records when filled up, are not
printed at the expense OF the county. In
the registers and clerk of orphans court,
the sheriff. and trcasurer's offices, many
blanks are used, but the county does not
pay for them. Hundreds of deeds, mort
cages and judgments, are recorded in the
recorder S and prOthOnOtary' Office every
year, but We could not find any trace Of
blanks for these being furnished or paid
for by tho county.
The Ehserley Bin.
1t is understood that the new board of
commissioners has agreed to pay i6s6 of
Capt. Edgerley's bill. In behalf of this
bill it is claimed that the services for
which it was rendered required the extra
services of Scott P. Lytlc for four months
in the Office, and the rearranging of the
papers required 800 files, while those of
the prothOnotary' office took 1000.
Capt. Edserley called upon us to-day to
say than he employed an extra clerk about
four months in doing it that he did not
present his bill at all to the outgoing
commissioners, but proposed to the new
board that they should examine his work
and see for themselves what was a fair
compensation for it. Mr.. Hi!dcbrand
thought about 5000, and the others agreed
on sG,j, which he has been paid. He
used 500 files which he understands the
county bought from John II. Barnes, pat
entce, at u cents apiece the prothonotary
used :, 900 Of the same kind The files in
the. registers Office arc labelled with stem
ellis and in the prothonOtary's with a pen.
