a cash settlement with Treasurer Loftin.
When the latter took the office two years

from his predecessor and Loftin has lost
heavily owing to his inability to collect the
notes. One oS the notes was on John Il.
Sullivan, the defaulting county clerk, for
$15, coo, and this has proved an entire loss
After being in the office two years and
paying out every thing he had to make up
for the bad paper received from his prede-
cessor, Loftin will have to borrow $24.0 900
in order to settle with Osterman.
