Yes, they are such places a* Hart ran ft
has l>een found sneaking; into so a* to
win the grog-shop support.
One would bo led to think, from the
tenor of the I-cwistown Gazette. radical,
that ita> party i* spot!s and made up
altogether of saint*; tliat all radioa! of
fice-holders are patterns of honesty, tit
to go right off into heaven with boots
on. It puts down HartranA and liis
party as consistent on the temperance
question: thinks Treasurer Mackey is
honest to the core: that there is no
thieving Indian ring at Washington
notwithstanding the recent exposure*,
and that generally and particularly, the
rotten, thieving; plundering crew to
which it clings, is innocent as a lauih.
That kind of white-wash won't stick,
Mr. Gazette, and can not be put on thick
enough to cover ali the rascalities prac
ticed under your state and national ad
ministrations.
The William* port Bulletin, a red-hot
radical sheet, in speaking of the oontc*t
for the democratic senatorial nomina
tion in the district says, "It is a district
"in which the Republican* naturally
"have little interest, the majority again*!
"them being very large, but it is never
"theless in their power to compel the
"Democrats to nominate a good man."
Just what the rads now desire that
the democrat* nominate a corrupt man,
which give* them hope to defeat him, as
it Is evident that the people will uot
vote for ringster* and rooster*, l.et the
democracy take warning and nominate
a pure nun. Tamanyism was killed
in New York, and the democracy of
Pennsylvania will follow the example
and put down their Bos* Tweeds here.
All we want is an honest mau—anything
else will go under.
Boecher got a hundred thousand w hen
it was over, now what is Elizabeth going
to get? If Henry Ward was innocent
why of course then Elisabeth is pure as
well as poor. If Plymouth church can
now make a great fuss over their pastor
because the jury did not agree about his
innocence, then why not have a big re
ception for Elizabeth and a general
handshaking and congratulation over
her in Plymouth style, because she had
as much to do with the recent fuss, play
ed as big a part in it, as the Plymouth
pastor. It really looks as though the
congregation was disposed to be a little
reserved with Elizabeth, and they leave
her on a sort -of ragged edge, while
Beeeher went off rejoicing with a cool
hundred thousand jingling in his pocket
and a three months' vacation. If they
keep shy of Elizabeth now, it must be
because the Plymoutbites seem to think
her not altogether clear of suspicion,
and the same mistrust would make sus
picion (all upon the pastor. The right
way would have been to have Henry
Ward and Elizabeth, arm in arm, to ap
pear before a full assembly of the Ply
mouth congregation, when brother
Sherman could liave got up and called
for "three cheer* for brother Beeeher
and Elizaljeth," thus showing publicly
their appreciation of the two at the
a&me time and with the same round of
cheers—for cheers are frequently had in
Plymouth church. This is the way we
would have had the thing done in Cen*
tre county. If Plymouth church can
embrace Beeeher, it must also embrace j
Elizabeth just as their pastor once em
braced her.
We last week made note of the treaty
of peace that was framed in Huntingdon
county by the two radical factions which
have been pulling each others' hair for
some years. But it appears that the
thing has not simmered down to a point
of quietude, and that while the hatchet
is buried, there is still a part of the han
dle sticking oat. The editor of the Ty
rone Herald, a radical paper who went
down to Huntingdon to see the'smoking
of the of peace, does not seem to
think that things are so pleasant, he
says:
"The only concession made was by
the .Scott Committee, when they agreed
to the old system of allowing two dele
gates to the county Convention front
each election district, instead upon the
basis of fifty, as adopted two years ago.
''Both factions are disappointed, for
neither got what they wantai. Some of
the best men on both sides seem irre
concilably dissatisfied, and, in all proba
bility will not vote the ticket this
fall, but there will be but one Republi
can convention, but one Republican
ticket in the field, and wc predict its tri
umphant election. Many of those now
bitterly hostile to the new order of
things, will repent of their rashness be
fore the election takes place, and wheel
into line, rather than see the Democracy
sweep all the stakes from the board. A
fight that had become as personal and
as bitter as the one in Huntingdon
county, cannot be healed in a day or a
year. Time alone can wipe out the bit
ter personalities of the last six years.
Neither side have got just what they
wanted, and neither side is altogether
satisfied, but enough have agreed to the
compact to make it binding, so far as
such things go. There must be some
changes yet, which may cause a little
trouble."
In another column the same paper
says:
The Huntingdon Journal heartily en
dorses the work of the tuo County
Committees last Friday, and calls upon
all KapubJicans to unite as one man in
support of the union. The Globe is
■our, caustically bitter, and in a column
article, calls upon the friends of the edi
tor to support him in opposing the
"patched up conspiracy" of Woods and
Orlady. It seems that GUSH has been de
serted "in the house of his friends."
He is very severe on some persons, who,
of all others, ought to be his friends, and
whom he has served not wisely but too
well.
We recently warned democrats against
the new bastard political party, known
as the Sons of 76. This is only a pocket
edition of know-notbingism, under the
leatFOT Bill Brown, and his like, to take
off democratic vote 6 in Centre county.
Now hear what Brown my* of his party,
iQ his last week's Advocate—his 76ers,
he calif the workmens party:
& [From Brown's Advocate,
The loaders of the Democratic party
need not themselves that the
workmen of thi* Commonwealth are
going to rush indiscriminately into the
arms of their party. It i* trtte that
many of them voted the Democratic
ticket last fall, whilst others of their
number remained away from the poll*,
'thereby contributing largely to the
Democratic victory of last year. Their
action at that time was a necessity, as
no other means existed whereby they
could record their earnest protest
against the general cnsacdnea* <>f those
who then run and still continue to run

{ Delivered before the Mercer County Pro
hibition Convention
When I heard the proposition made
that I should sjieak I felt a desire to do
I so. But when 1 reflected on the time of
day I feared that it would intrude on
your business, and so expressed myself;
nevertheless, 1 accepted the invitation
in kindne®?. lam just off the r-ad and
feel unfitted to make remark*. But
throwing myself on your kindness 1 pro
ceed. During your proceeding—a jart
of which I heard—recent conversions to
the prohibition faith were compared to
that of Saul of Tarsus. 1 myself am a
new convert, but 1 w as not a Saui of Tar
sus. 1 did not persecute prohibition. I
am not a convert on intemperance, but
a convert from the Republican to the
Prohibition jiarty. The Republican par
ty converted me. By a Democratic
House and a Republican Semite the nail
was driven home to the head, and then
clinched on the other side by the Re
publican Governor llariranft. [Cheers.]
The Republican jiarty is no more the
party we helped to organ ire. It is dead.
When a party is dead we ought to bury
it. The Republican party was organized
to accomplish a great work, which it lias
noble done, and is uow without an ob
ject. The liquor work is a great work—
a work yet to be accomplished. I ads
dress a convention to-day as does not of
ten meet to do so grand a work. We
are weak now, but when "shall we be
stronger?" He is not wise that despises
the day of small things. I was coutent
to accept a position that subject* me to
contempt. I have not sought it; but be
ing in it I mean work. If there is a vote
of fifty thousand this fail it will be a
mighty triumph. Twelve thousand votes
last (all in the .State of New York held
that State iu check. You may hold the
balance of power in this State; if not
now, at least at an eariy day. How
could you respect yourselves if you
should not act this fall in view of the
actions of the parties who have not re
spected those men who came within for
ty-eight thousand of carrying the State,
and in forty-one counties were for pro
hibition. Had our leaders let local op
tion alone the people would have had u
chance to speak again, but they did not
want to hear the people speak again.
The Supreme Court decided, that the lo
cal option act was constitutional, and
yet it was repealed at the dictation of
the friends of the liquor traffic. They
tell us that more liquor was sold then
than under license. It is as Ca*sar says,
that "men believe that which they wish
to believe." The repeal is a stroke at
popular liberty. We had a Governor
that could by one stroke of his j>en have
said, we will await the will of the people
wiio may speak again in a year. If he
had done so he wonld liave merited the
confidence of the people, and would have
gone with a rush into the gubernatorial
chair this fall; he would have lieen re
elected overwhelmingly. What now re
mains? The last refuge of freemen—the
ballot. That is certainly not the best
party which would rob us of this weapon
of defense ; and this the existing parties
have attempted. I was truer to the Re
publican principles than most of tlie
men who speak of it so loudly. 1 love
its principles, but I believe it is hope
lessly destroyed. The hand writing is on
the wall. It has beeoine a liquor party.
The ballot remains to us, the hope of
freemen. To vote with Republicans is
to have prohibition tacked on to steady
the kite which is fastened by a string to
the whisky ring and led by them at
pleasure. I have not a word to say
against Governor HartranA as a man.
But when as a politician he did what lie
did, I say now I am ready to smash par
ties. Now lam tlie candidate of a re
spectable party. Numbers do not make
respectability. I am sorry that some
men have the number of our votes at the
coming election. If there are three par
ties this fall, you have a strong party. I
think by the way Republican* talk they
think that they are beaten. Now I ap
peal to Republican friends not to throw
away their votes this fall on Governor
HartranA or on Henry ltawle. [Cheers.]
A MODOC OS THE REPORTER.
[From the Detn. Watchman of 23.]
The Centre Hall Reporter oftbis week,
and the Republican of lust, fully agree
as to who should be the Democratic
nominees at the coming convention.
Whether the two papers —both in the
interest of the radical party —l>oth la
boring to create divisions in the ranks
of the Democracy—will be able to dic
tate the Democratic tieket, remains to
be seen.
A mistake on the part of the Modoc
organ. The Republican is—and will ad
mitit—in frfvor of Hepk for Senator, and
so is Brown, the leader of the '76ers.
The only real division we ever had, was
the Modoc treason, which was bred in
and got its votes from Meek's camp.
Both the radical papers favor Gray, be- 1
eaue they are under obligations to him
for services rendered by him to their
party on the Modoc movement and on
his selling out the Philadelphia demo
crat* to the ring on the Building com
mission, which the Republican lui* ad
mitted, and which the Philadelphia Age
has proven.
luroKTAsr i n; 1/ nt:cisio\.
At the la*t term of xuirt, hehi in this
county,a dcci*ion w.ts rendered ty his
Honor Judge Williams, that i* of gn.it
im]S*rtamc to the owners of unseated
lands, lumbermen and purchaser* of
land at tax sales. In the ea*o of Mer
-oreuu \s. Harris et 1., the plaintiff pnr
chased at the Jttne sale* in I*7l two
tracts of land belonging to tin 1 defen
dants for which be received a deed
from the t\>uuty Treasurer but win
ter the defendants without redeeming
the land* let the job of taking oil tin
pine timber, and bad taken <>tl idmut
two million feet, when the plaintitt ap
plied by bill for mi injunction to restrain
the defendants from cutting until they
should redeem the land* Judge Will
iams at fhauibere granted a rule retur
liable at court, to show cause why an in
junction should uot issue, t'jioii hear
ing the argument he refused to grant
the injunction, and on motion diMui**<d
(he bill.
The Judge held that the purchaser at
tax sale took no title. That the owner
oflhe laud at the tiiue of the tax sale
retained the legai title, with ail the
rights ot ownership That he could cut
and remove the timber, or anything else
that might W on it or a part of the land,
the same a* though the land had not
bceen sold for taxes. Thai the purchas
er had no right under his tax deeds un
til the expiration of the term of redemp
tion ; and no remedy in law or equity,
although the owner might remove all
the UIUIHT or anything else of value oil
th;- land before the two year* expired,
and thus, if the laud w.u- of no value ex
cept for timber, compel the unltuky
purchaser at tax *.dc to lose the money
he had paid the County Treasurer for
the iauds.
This ruling was a great surpri-o to the
legal profession, a* the opjo*ile view of
the question had prevailed generally
amoug attorneys, and on account of the
acknowledged legal ability of Judge
Williams the decision is the most impor
tant ever rendered in this county.
Without some legislation to protect pur
chaser* it w ill not hereafter be safe for
any one to bid Off land at treasurer's
sales, as before the time for redemption
expires the ow ncr may strip the land of
all its value, and leave the unlucky pur
chaser with nothing but his treasurer's
deed and an empty purse to remind him
of his investuiwiit fbi* of course i* a
great and serious defect in the t.i law*,
and mile** remedied will make it In! *
cult, if not impossible to collect taxes on
a large portion of the unseated lands, a*
a largo portion are valuable only for the
timber there- is on them and with the
timber removed they are not worth the
taxes. —[Emporium IndejK-ndent ]

OIJK EXPORT TRADE
Tbo demand for our breaJsluffs, cotton
and petroleum for foreign shipment i the
mutt raging ir.diction of bettor time*
and renewed for tbi* country
which ha* occurred since the panic w flS73.
Last year the market for our fine grain
crop* wa* so dead and lifcles* that only a
small portion oi our surplus was disputed
of at remunerative price*. Now, all it
changed. The failure ot the crop* in Eu
rope ha* not been anticipated and the ac
cumulation of breadstuff* in the band* of
dealer* are totally inadequate to supply tbc
want* of consumer* until another crop can
be sown and reaped. A sudden demand
ha* been too result and It is likely that
during the temporary .carcity of supplies
prices will be higher than they will be af
ter it i* satisfactorily ascertained that this
country is ablo to supply the deficiency in
the European harvest.
The results of this revival of export
trade are thus speculated upon by the
Philadelphia Ledger :
"Advancing price* lor food supplies are
generally not very welcome conditions
even as preparatory to a revival of trade,
but iu the present commercial condition
of the United States they bring some com
pensating advantage.. L-rrge numbers of
American farmers have bad two o. three
poor seasoiis, some of them short crops,
and all of thrm low prices, and they have
had as much as they could do to provide
necessaries, with scarcely any surplus
money to spend for improvement* or for
manufactured good*. IJentelko demand
for goods in many country districts, towns
and village* ha* fallen off, and this, with
the depression everywhere, ha* prevented
an activity in general trade. Stagnation
ha* been the rule, and anything that will
stir up commercial life will, we think, be
welcomed by the community, avail though
it begins with advancing prices. The fur
met sells his surplus wheat for cash, and
the more money he gets for it the more
good* he can affotd to buy. It to this is
added a large corn brop, of which there is
now every prospect, then the agricultural
measures of liuppiner* will be full, and wo
may hope in a short time to see trade
moving with some activity, for the mo
ment the furmert, who are by far the ino-t
numerous class, begin buying, then the
demand for goods springs up, manufactur
ing and mechanical work becomes acthc,
and employment get* brisk in all branches.
Tbalimmediate beginning of activity may
come through this foreign demand fur
American brendstufi'*, nnjJ the transporta
tion facilities which will consequently be
required will mid to the activity. The
railways with their army ofemployes will
bo benefited, and, in fact, they arc already
feeling the impulse in the transportation
of thousand* of ear loud* of wheat from
the west to the seaboard under the stimu
lus of the recent foreign demand. To cur
ry wheat and Hour across the ocean idle
ships have been called into requisition, and
this is not only giving employment at this
time to every vf**ol suitable for the trade,
but the demand is in excess of the supply,
and the merchant'* heart is once more
gladdened by increasing freight rates.
Once started, the stimulus extend* through
gvery branch of the foreign trade, so that
there is now an increased demand for ves
sels at advancing freights, not only for
breadstuff*, but also for petroleum, cotton
and pretty much every kind of American
produce carried across the ocean. So
much of prom i; 0 for the general business
of the United States depends'upon this re
vival of the breaditufii and shipping
trades, that we give it prominence, believ-
Ing that the advancing prii c* will be more
than compensated by the Impulse given to
general employment and to all branches
of business."

During the last year of President Lin
' coin's Administration, there wa* every
reason xrhy the expenses of the White
Houte should he unusually large. The
war was just then i.lo*ing and the wotk of
reconstruction w.-u lobe begun. Mr. I.in
coin'* hospitality and bit well known gen
eroslty were taxed to their fullest capacity
and ifthcrocvor wasa time when tho ex- 1
penscs of tho Presidential Mansion ouldi
have been justifiably large it wa* during
the year* l&l 63. And yet we find that
Mr. Lincoln only required tome $12.0(A)
more than did President Pierce. Mr.
Lincoln, while not the best man of hi |
time for President, a . .1 tnnn of plain and
simple hubits, one who trird, a* ia. a. he
could, to expend the public revenue. ;
economically.
But let ua look at the present expendi-,
lures jJ the While House, in comparison
with the others gicj. above. During an
era of profound porco, and when there
wa no special tax on that Executive ho*-:
pitality—or rather at a time when there!
was no tax whatever on that hospitality—j
President Grant requires $67,000 per year
in addition to hi* duplicated salary, more'
than did Mr. Lincoln, and SBti,UW more
than President Pierce. These latter im
mense sum* represent tho amount that
Grant is drawing over aud above tho ordi
nary expenses of the White House, and in
addition to hit regular salary of $30,-
000.
It will bo observed that under tho Grant;
regime, there is $30,000 appropriated an
nually for the four item* of repairs for the
Executive Mansion, refurnishing the ;
same, fuel for tho same and repairs upon
tho greenhouse. These sums of money,
set asido for sarh a purpose, are simply
ridiculous. Not one-fourL, o il could be
used for such a purpose.
Under President Lincoln tho allowance
for tho samo purposes amounted to sll.-
400, and that at a time when the thousand*
who Hocked to the While House every
Jay, made repairs and refurbishment nec
essary. President Pierce who enterlainiii
more largely than Grant, received $7,800
for tho same items that Grant receives $30,-
000 for.

committee, denied that they hail anv an
thority to investigate, and would not per
mit their accountant lo even look at the
books or papers. • a •
Upon this refusal of the stale treasurer
to permit a full and free investigation, (he
committee might have rested, conscious
that tho people of the state would not have
required tho committee to go further, until
the house reasembled, it* power was in
voked, its dignity maintained, and the
books and papers of the treasury opened
to a searching and untratmneled investiga
tion.
But the committee have not given uw the;
inquiry on which they started. The best)
means at their command have been resort-;
ed to. • • • ♦ 9 • • ;
In this connection the committee csli at
tention to the following facts :
-The amendment to the constitution of
IH.'W, adopted in 1837, provided that "unlvm
In 1 a*e of war. invasion or Insurrection, no
part of the sinking fund shall be u<ad or
applied otherwise than In the extinguish
ment of the public debt, until the amount
ol such di-bl Is teduced hstow tho sum of
L five millions of dollars.'' A similar pro
vision Wns inserted in the constitution ofj
' j1873
These would seem to he sufficiently plain
and explicit to prevent any inroads upon
tlint fund Yet, on page 39 of the repirt of
I the stale treasurer fir 1873 will lie found
, this entry
( "By 1 rrdil authorised to be
made under 11 resolution of
the c< nitttisaiolier* of the
• inking fund, date Ma v '),

i< creation ot tho lund $2,867.817.32
The first use of any part of the sinking

i 1874, the large sum ol nearly three miltiom
j ofdollais was withdrawn Had this mon
ey been applied to the Use* contemplated
| by the constitution, the stale debt would
. have lie 11 thai much less, May IHh, 1874
II The committee are aware lhat an act wa*
approved April 14th, 1870, authorising the
, commissioner* of the sinking fund, in a
certain contingency, to permit the slatr
p-usurcr lo use a part of the sinking fund
- revenues for tho current expense* u| the
got tu iiuienl. A> to the validity of this set
or it* cofiihci w lib the Constitutional pro
vision* above quoted, the Committee will
not now express any opinion. Buiihcydo
call attention to this fact The public sc
'count* show that more than one-half ol
the $2,867,817-82 was withdrawn from the
) lund before tlie nit of April I4th, 1870, was
" pa.-sed And withdrawn, *0 far us the
1,
committee is able l<i discover, without the
, shadow ot a legal sanction. Such open
Ijdisiugard of the plainest constitutional
provisions cannot but have a pernicious
effect on the umrality and probity of pub
lic officers.
During the pi-nod of twelve years, be
ginning with December 1, 1862, the com
mittee arc unable to find that one dollar
1 bus be-eu paid into the stale treasury on ac
, count of intO'it*' re., ived on the public
moneys. All thai lime, however, a large
' amount of state funds has been in the tries
( urcr's control, and by Litis deposited with
, various banks and bankers throughout the
) state For these twelve years tbe month-
J ly balance in the hand* of the state treas
urer, 111 round numbers averaged jJ.UAJ,-
thOuo, varying from tbe highest monthly
' balance of •,>'.!, 134 W, August Stsl, lsV7.
to the lowest, $5*33,729 63, January 3Lt,
186') At fixe pt-r tent, these balances
' would have netted the receiver over Jl,-
( JUU.CAAIIX).
Or had the money been promptly used!
to purchase tho stale si* per cent, beads,
the stale would have saved interest on the
•j public Uehl lo the amount of over $1,4U0,-
tSAIfIO. and the debt would in consequence
1 be that much lest at this dale.
Of course, the state treasurer cannot law- 1
1 fully appropriate any interest on the pub
lie money* to his ovrn use. To do so, would
be to render himself liable to fine, impris
onment and removal from office, (act of
> March 31, IB**i,: or to impeachment and
' removal front office, (act of May 'J. 1874 '
, Yet, every oar must realise that it is not
in accordance th the conduct of human
> affairs, that this large balance should have 1
| been drpositad With various bank* and
monetary institutions, at a UQir, too, w hen
I capital wat demanding and receiving large •
| returns, and no interest havo been paid lo
, tho depositor. But if paid, where ha* it
gone? The committee cannot find that
one Cent ever reached the coffer* of the
state. '
■ A way to utilise the balance in the tre
ury, to the benefit of tbe state, ha* been
open since the sinking fjnd *> • -Übli*h
-1 ed. These balance* were a pari of the
> sinking fund revrnue*. The sole purpose
| of the creation of lhat fund was the pay
ment ot the public debt, and to that all the
i moneys should be applied at rapidly as re
ceived. Buoti are the directions of all the
' acts of assembly relating thereto. That of
May sfth, 1674. how ever, it the moat explic
it in tls terms. It is there provided that:
"It shall be the duty of the commusion
-1 er# of the sinking fund, on the first busi
( nx, day of each month, to prepare a state- 1
ment of the totl amount of money in said
fUnd, which having been verttted l*y oath 1
or affirmation, shall be published in two '
newspapers In Harriaburg, for public in. 1
' formation. Th# commissioner, of the sink '
: ing fund (ball also, on the first business 1
day of the month of May. August. Novem- 1
1 ber and February, in eeih and every year |
hereafter, apply all moneys In the sinking
fund to the redemption of an equivalent '
amount of tbe public debt."
This seems a very easily understood law. j'
But il has not been obeyed. At no time 1
since it* enactment h* all money in the
sinking fund, on the first bustnes# day of 1
May, August, November and February, '
1 been applied lo the redemption ot an
' equivalent amount of the public debt On
the contrary only a small portion of it ha*
• been this applied
The official papers prove that on Muy
" 9th, 1874, tho day the act was approved, '
there was a ba'ance in the sinking fund of
' $ 1.230,75'.'. 11. and there was but $48,055 84 ]
' of the debt redeemed during the balance
i of the month of May.
On the 31st of July there wa* a balance '
1 in the fund of $626,978.35, and there was 1
but $)6,801.48 of the debt rejeenved during '
the month of August.
On the 31st of October, 1874, there a '
balance in the fund of $470,579 26. and '
thorn was but $96,677 50 of the debt re- '
deemed during the month of November.
On the 31st of January, 1875, there was 1
: a balance in the fund of $1,153.156 86, and '
there was but $6,553.91 of the debt re
deemed during the month ot February. *
On the 30lh of April, 1875. there wain '
balance In the f..J of $1,427,407.18. and 1
i but $432,350.00 of the public debt redeem-j *
ed during the month of May.
No excuse can bo offered for a similar.'
disregard of the act in tho future. The'
first business day of August, 1876, is the '
next day on which, according to the pro - , f
visions of the act, all moneys in the sinking
fund should be applied to the redemption'
of an equivalent amount of tho public debt, •'
and the commissioners must publish intwo *
newspapers in llnrrisburg a statement of t
the amount in the fund at the beginning of *
the month, and another at the end of the
j month, exhibiting the amount of the debt '
I redeemed. It i# certainly important that '
the act bo complied with. There is no bet-! r
ter guard against the corrupt use of public j 8
moneys than an empty treasury. In this v
instance it is the command of the law that ''
tho sinking fund balance be exhausted ''
four times a year. Jt j* for J!ve public gooj v
that tlie iaw lie complied with, and tbe h
peoplts'a money used to pay their debts, *
that the grinding weight of interest be
lifted and tlie temptations of a plethoric
purse removed.
The committee would further mention
that tin-act directing these payment* 11 Lo .
declares it to he a misdemeanor in office I
for nny oftlio commissioners oflho sinking J
fund to neglect or refuse to perform any ot j
the duties enjoined upon them by this act, s
and for such neglect qr refusal thov may a
be impeached and removed from office. ®
But while tho law hitherto has seemed to
be it dead letter, and its ti-nukies defied,
better things hoped for in the future.
The committee feul (hat they have but .
just entered upon the work before them
A full investigation may not bo accom-
plished until impediments intorposod by t
the stalo treasurer are removed. The boat n
efforts of tho committee, however, will be |-
given until every transaction has been ex- r
i posed to tbe test of a searching examine- p
turn. "
