AS WE EXPECTED.
A correspondent in tho last "Danville
Intelligencer" lias attacked the official in
tegrity of John Fruit, Esq. and published
a statement of his accounts, as Treasurer of
Columbia county, for tho years 1832, 1834,
and 1835. 15y this exhibit of his transac
tions, Mr. Fruit is made a defaulter to the
amount 02,073 83; and from tho face of
the account, persons not acquainted with
the manner in which business of that de
nomination is conducted, would readily in
fer that he really 'owed that amount, and
retained it in 1 is own. hands. This, how
ever, is not Tim cash; and, as the promul
gallon of the statement is only intended to
affect his nomination as a candidate for
Khcrifl, wo Icel m duly bound to give a
direct contradiction to it, from an cxamina
lion of Ins account, as iixinniTnu by tiiu
VOUCHERS OF Till". AUDITOR Gr.Nl'.RAI.. We
arc aware of the late hour ol the nnpossi-
as an act of justice to the abused, we pro-

statc'ment Irom lluoii Mo Williams, bsq.
the present County Treasurer, as published
in the last "Intelligencer," from which it
will be seen that our own examination is
ratified, and that Mr. Fruit is not only free
from the charges of being a defaulter, but
entirely free from any responsibility or
censure on account of his official transac
tions.
