IN AND FOR , KNOX COUNTY, OHIO: Tni undersigned Commissioners of said County. represent that lha Annual Sflttl tnent with the Auditor and Treasurer of said County herewith filed and made a part of this Report, will give a correct statement of the Receipts and Disbursements since the Report made of the June settlement in I8i9. Tne lastAnnual Sett ement did not include the Taxes eollectedfor the year 1858 after the settlement for the first half of said years taxes, the resent settlement inclules the taxes of 1858, payable in June 1859, the tuxes of 1859 payable December 1859, as well as the taxes of said year payable in June I860. It also covers the expenses of the county for aperiod of fifteen months. This arrangement has been brought about by the law authorizing the Semi-Annual payment of tHxes, and the act of February 8th 1860, changing the time for making the Annual Settlement. Hereafter the fiscal year will commence and end on the first Monday in September in each year, instead of the 1st Monday of June as heretofore. The statement attached has been condensed .to some extent, with the View of saving expense in the publication thereof. The amounts accounted for - in the three several settlements' with the Treasury, insaid period of fifteen months, for taxes collected on the duplicate, as well as the amount of orders redeemed by the Treasurer in said time, will be to soma extent summed up together, The whole will be found set forth in detail in the ledger kept in the Auditor's office. Since our last report, as will appear from the present exhibit, we have expended $1,028 7, mainly in repairing damages done by water to Norton's Bridge, and the road from Mt. Vernon to Homer, west of Brandon; The moneys expended at Norton's Bridge were actually necessary to prevent the stream from forming a new xhannel and, leavjng the bridge on the west side of the same. That at Brandon Vas to save-the expenses of locating a new road, &o. Since said term, it will also appear, that we have exDended S2.9PR Rfl in rormirinir ul IJ T.c....u l..:u:, .i . r . .. . r a wio ummuiiuaijr uuiiuiugs uuu erecting anew one, lusmsmng the same, dtc.

For the purpose of providing a fund for eventually meeting the expenses of said improvements, we sold that portion of the Poor House farm lying in Clinton town ship, containing about 74 acres for $2950, heing $40 per acre; Considering that from 10 to 15 acres of this land is rendered little better than a waste by Dry-Creek and the Tight of way heretofore sold for some $750 to the S., Mt. V., & P. Railroad Co., and also the poor quality of a considerable portion of said tract and its entire destitution of limber, we think the sale was made for a full consideration, and that notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary the sale and improvements so made by us, will be approved by every unbiased man who will make himself sufficiently acquainted with the facts in the premises to judge of the matter. ' We have also since our last report made arrangements for erecting seventeen new bridges one of 330 feet in length ; one of 140 feet ; six of 60 feet; three of 60 feet, three of 40 feet; two ol 30 feet and one of 20 feet. All of said bridges are situated in portions of the county which have heretofore been but little benefited by moneys expended on such improvements. We expect to have all the bridges so commenced.not yet finished, completed the present season. The expense of this work will be mainly met out of the mill of road tax set apart for that purpose in the years 1859 and 1860. We have applications pending before us for bridges at the following points, to wit : At Banning's mill.Swan's Fording, and at the fording south of Frede.ricktown in Morris township, at Lilley's in Wayne township, at Bateman's in Middleburg township, at Merrins in Berlin township, at Troutman's in Harrison township, at Greersville in in Jefferson township, at Kinney's mill in Clinton township. Other points have been spoken of, and there is no doubt but that there are numerous other place wheie bridges of a sna iller class could be put up to the great convenience of the people. Our intentions are to put up soma four or five of the principle bridges above alluded to next season, and in course of a few years to put up a good pel manent and substantial bridge at every considerable poini in the county when such a convenience is needed. In expending the money set apart for bridges, we have not always been able to satisfy ibe persons interested, nor to do it entirely to our own satisfaction. The inhabitants of some sections of the county may fetl that they have not had justice done them none more so than the oitizen of Morris Township; next year we hope to make amends for past neglect. In our last report we called your attention to the large amount expended in upholding our criminal laws and made some suggestions with a view of curtailing the expenses in that direction. We are gratified by comparing this report with last years thta saving of about $1000 for the last 15 months has been made over the expenditures for that purpose for the 12 preceeding months. This saving is mainly owing to the course pursued by your Honor in your charges to the Grand Jury and the cautious and prudent conduct of our Prosecuting Attorney. It is a step in the right direo-iion, which we hope will ba followed up and improved upon in the future. In looking over the exhibit attached, it will be found that the expenses for county purposes appears somewhat larger than usual, yet when we take into view that it covers a period of 15 months, and that it includes $1000 expended on Norton's Bridge and the road at Brandon, nearly three thousand expended in improvements on the Poor House farm; about 82,500 the expense of the late appraisement of real estate in the county nearly $600 for an iron fe nce around the Court House lot - and about $1300 for printing. It will be found that if the general expenses have not been reduced they have at least not exceeded that of former years. In consequence of the payment of the taxes semi annually we have not been able to meet the interest fully on our bonds issued for the C. L. Erie Rtilroad as it fell due, we have increased the levy for that purpose the present year with the view of preventing such an occurrance for the future. 'During the last year several creditors of John R. Robinson have united in bringing suit against us in Licking county Common Pleas with the view of having the 34;000, paid this county at the time of the last sale of stock in said road, taken from us and appropriated to the payment of these claims against said Rob-tinson, : We have no fears of an unfavorable termination of said proceeding, yet it will necessarily put the county to the expense and trouble of defending the same. Some progress has been made in the suit against Amos Niohols on his bond given "to the county for 'county bonds and in paying his stock to the S. Mt. V. & P. Railroad company. Since our last report, a judgment was rendered against him in the 'Common Pleas, for the interest due. He appealed to the District Court and the case 'wa not reaohed at the late session of the said Court, In the meantime no l 1 . : .1 1 i i j . i i . ii ii uuicrcsb una uueu pum vu iuu uunus issueu lor iu oeneni or me stocaooiuers in fsaid road. We hope for the honor of pur county, that we may have a speedy and rsuccessfal termination of said suit and that those who have invested their monies in our bonds will receive their interest as it falls due and that it will come from the stockholders of said road rather than from the taxpayers of the county. We have not thought it proper to incumber our report by setting out all our acts and doings, our journal and the books in the Auditor's office are free to be examined by all and will show them more fully and satisfactory than can be done in mis report. -.Alii of which is respectfully submitted.

Abraham Lincoln's Integrity Ani In teresting story oi mo uariy nu' A correspondent of the Portland Ore- gonian sends this narrative: To the Editor of the Oregonian: The following inoident in the early his tory of Mr. Lincoln, now the Republican candidate for President, illustrates more fully than any thing that can be said or done now, his great integrity of character, and his peculiar fitness in that respeot for the office of President. It shows that be would take special care that not a dollar of the people's money should ba used improp erly. During the Presidency of-Gen. Jackson, and while Mr. Barry of Kentucky was Postmaster in the little town of New Salem, in Sangamon county, Ill.,the Government's portion of the receipt of the office for the ' "- ) I .11 !. ...t.ln4 In AMaTalirltMa. two yeava ne neiu it, amouumu m u 4 red and fifty orjwo. handred dollars; ' all of which' was permitted to remain in his bands, uncalled for by the Postmaster Gen eral, for three or four years after Mr. Lin eoln resigned the office, and' removed to StirincfielJ. where he no lives. Iaihe eao.inijVr- n'clafl4 haviug sueecJVd ' .if t !' a. r. . ,i- ; , k Mr. Barry in the Post Office Department, set about relieving the party from its pe cuniary embarrassments, "by picking up crumbs" which Mr. Barry had thrown away as not worth the trouble of saving, and in the fall of 1854 or '55 drew Mr. Lincoln, in favor of a mail carrier, for the amount standing against him on the books of the Department. The mail carrier inquired of me for Mr. Lincoln, at the same time showing me the draft on him for near two hundred dollars. I felt that this wo'd be a large sum for a poor man like Mr. Mr. Lincoln to raise on demand, and on meeting him offered to aid him if necessary. Ha thanked me, and said he did not need assistance; went to his ropm, and returned in a few minutes with a package in his hand containing money, and on counting it it was found to be the exact amount oalled for by the draft, and the very money received by him four and five years previous. During all this period money wat be ing loaned for three and five per cent per month, and Mr. Linooln was often, from inability to collect what was due him, sore ly pressed for five dollars to pay a board bill. Besides.it was then the nolicr (I the Government to allow the banks to us the people's money for speculative purpo ses, and it was not thought wrong or dis reputable for a Government officer to use the money in his possession, provided lie had a reasonable prospect for raising it when it was wanted for disbursement. But Mr. Lincoln believed it was wrong to use what did not belong to him, and hin stern, unbending integrity enabled him to resist, not only the temptation of "pinching poverty," but the all-powerful influence of public sentiment. Now, Mr. Editor, I feel very sure that when the people come to understand the true character of Mr Lincoln, and reflect npon the present laxity of publio morals on the subject of using the publio money, and the great need there is of reform in this particular, they will say of Abraham Lin coln in November next, as was said of old of tha faithful servant, by the Great Judge of human nature "thou bast been faith ful over a few things," we "will make thee ruler over many."

Tbey snspicioned me of being an Abolitionist. T . "But to make tba story short, soma f .' the mob brought a rose after they exam- ' ined me, which occupied three -or four hours.
