The following telegram from Frank fort appeared in the Owensboro in quirer Tuesday: State inspector McKenzIe Todd has filed with the governor his report on the Investigation he recently made of the public offices In Ohio and Mc Lean counties. As the result ot his Investigation tho Inspector turned into the state treasury the sum of $1,404, collected from former officials of Ohio coun ty, and ?415 from McLean county. Tho Inspector also commends tho county Judge and county clerk of Ohio county for tho business-like manner In which they conduct their respective office, but criticises the practice of the commonwealth's at torney and the county attorney in collecting fines, which they have no authority to do under the law, this power being delegated to tho sheriff and trustee of tho jury fund only. To the above the Inquirer add3: The above telegram dois not apply to Commonwealth's Attorney Rlngo or the present attorney of Ohio coun ty, as all the money collected by the luapvotor was from former officials of the county. When shown the above telegram Commonwealth's Attorney Rlngo said: "I have nover collected a tine 3lnco I have bejn In office, because thesta--tuto says whose duty it Is to collect all fines."

Upon Investigating Circuit Clerk Barress' books tho ttt3p.ctor found his books correct with the exception of a few flues which had baon over looked, but would have been ultimate ly checked. Mr Carver complimented Mr Barrass very highly upon the manner the kept his office, and statwd that it was lu a perfect shape. Judge Wed ding's offlco was also examined and found all O. K.
