-BRIBERY REPORT-
he'cbrnmillec in'eonformity to a icsolu
oi ofiho House of RepresentaYives.on the
31st of March, 1843, "to examine whether
certain members of the Board of Canal
Commissioners have held out inducements
and bribes, to members df the Legislature to
corrupt themi end thereby inrlucnco their
votes on certain measures pending1 before the
Legialature,""beg most respectfully to re
port: Tlia conifniltee to whom the nbove nub
ject was referred, submit to' thojllouse, the
evidence touching the charge which it was
raised to investigate. The committee con
fined their investigations to the Individual
case which elicited the attention of the
House, to the, charges of interference on
Tthe part of tho officcrs-of Government; with
the votes and opinions of Members of the
'Legislature. They djd not fee) themselves
authorised to extend their inquiry beyond
the instance alluded to. Enough however
lias been given in evidence on oath before
them, to show that, a member of the Hoard
of Canal Commissioners did improperly
tamper with, and endeavour by corrupt
promises, to influence the vote of a mem
bor of the Houso of Representatives.
However incredible the fact may appear,
and however reluctant the committee were
to come to such a conclusion, it is none the
less true, if the sworn testimony of a mem
ber of this House can be believed, that
"William Overfield one bf the Board of Ca
nal Commissioners, did promise to Jacob
Hill, a Representative from Armstrong
county, an appointment for a friend of his,
provided he would sustain the Governor's
veto of the-Canal Commissioner's Bill.
From the testimony annexed, it will be
seen that Mr. Hill had two conversations
concerning the appointment he was solici
tousof oblaining,from both of which he was
led to believe that the condition of his ob
taining the office would be to support the
Can3l Commissioners, and sustain the veto.
Gen. MuCulloch, who appears only as an
Intimate.friend, to have prefened his assis
tance to Mr. Hill, and who, according to
liis sworn declaration, spoke without author
itV nevertheless gave It as his opinion, that
if Mr. Hill was successful in the applica
lion, he would be expected to support the
Canal Commissioners. In his testimony
before the committee, Gen. McCullock
oaid; 'Mr. Hill came over to my desk,
either in the morning or evening, 1 am not
certain which, and asked me. what the Ca
nal Conmisionera would require of him,
provided he made application for that ap
pointment. 1 told him I could not tell, but
I presumed they would expect him to sup
port them
The committee, in referring to this re
y.im uuani, in expressing such an
opinion to Mr. Hill, on the contrary, he
declares under oath (hat he was not. They

The fact, then, being established by ixo
oalh of-Jaco) Hill, nothing remains for tho
committee but to Tcpoit it to the House.
The Legislature is tho guardian of its
own purity- it Iub the -power to expel a
member for open corruption, and it has the
power to impeach a functionary of the gov
ernmcnl for corruptly influencing the votes
bf its members. It is invested by the con
stitution with full authority to vindicate its
character and preserve its integrity! Tho
reputation of tho wholo people of the Com
mbnwealth is implicated in the character of
the Legislature. It would be false to itself
false to tho people whom It represents,
and whose interests it has in keeping, and
regardless of tho maintenance of our form
of government in its original purity, did it
pormit its privileges to be attacked, ond tho
official integrity of its members to be assail
ed by a co ordinate brancli of the govern
ment, without resorting to its constitutional
authoiity to uphold its independence, pre
serve its virtue, and defend its honor. What
course of action tho .Legislature ought to
pursue Id the present case the committee
will not underlako to decido. They leavo
it to its own sense of self respect, and its
fidelity to its constitutional obligations, to
determine.
The committee offer the following rcsolu
tion :

Jacob Hill, swornl I think it was on
Wednesday last, to the best of my knowl
edge Gen. M'Culloch and me wero walk
ing together, and I was going tu turn up
towards Prince's. The General made men
lion, we would go up the other way opposite
to the Capitol. He broached the subject
about some appointment out at Freeport.
We thought the appointment was very un
popular the appointment was Alexander
Scott he had been appointed for sevtn
yeais, the present board re-appointed him
this spring, t here was a good deaf ol
talk backward and forward between me and
the General, relative to that appointment.
Then he told me lie had been up, and seen
Major Reynolds, who, I think, he said, was
sick in bed. He told me if I would say
the .word, that I could gel that office myself1-,
I told himfl had a family and could
not attend to it, he said if I did not want it,i
could appoint some ono under me, 1 (old

likely that tlio Speaker of. tome of the ret,
told me that I ouglit to make a statement to
tho House,' 1 said I did not care who knew
it; that all the Canal Commissioners on the
hill could not buy my vole. 1 do not re
collect that I ever told any person that 1
would go and sec them, and then expose
ihcin. I told General M'Culloch that I
would likely go and eoo tho Canal Com
missioners, and tho General told tne he
would go with mo at any time. What was
your reason for going to see tho Canal
Commissioners? 1 will tell you my object:
I heard a great deal for years back about
buying and selling members, and I thought
I would see myself if it was so. I voted
in favor of the Canal bill. I did not tell
Overfield that I wanted to be appointed,
neither did he ask me. l had letters for
two ot three -of the men for that office; I
told Mt. Butler that If they appointed any
of tho three; I would be satisfied. I spoke
of Ncsbcti and I think likely of Esq. Ga
lespy; 1 did not show him the lellcts. He
told me I should fotch my letters to tho
office in twenty minutest I went as near as
I can tell about that time, I was in the office
may be half an hour or (onucr, Mr, Butler
did not come: I told Mr.' Reynolds then
what my errand was. I told him I would
go down in tho House, and after being
there a while, I came up acatn; Mr. Butler
still was not there. I stayed a little spell
and went to Mr. Overfield and told him
what Mr. Butler had said. I told Mr.
Overfield I do not Want you to mako tho
appointment until I show Mr. Butlar the
letters I had; and I thought Mr. Oveificld
gave me his word they would not make the
appointment without letting me know.
This took place in February;! went up that
same loienoon about a hall an hour alter
wards, and the office was locked up. The
next I heard that afternoon that the appoint
ments wero made, without having read my
letters or consulting me. Did not Mr.
Overfield tclt you during year conversation
at Buehler's that the way he made tho ap
pointments was on his line, that if the mem
bcrs put their names on paper, so tiial he
could shov it? 1 think he said ho mostly
took that course. Yesterday afternoon' at
about quarter past three o'clock, Mr Heck
man called me, and asked me if it was sy;
and I told him it wis. He told mc he .would
offer a resolution, 1 said I would sooner he
would not do any thing about it; that is
about all the conversation. I had no .written
statement in 'ny hands about tliis. matter
yesterday afternoon. Question by General
M'Culloch. Did I ever call, you out on
this occasion, anti tell him I had some prop
osilions to make! 1 tell you the way how
it was, a minute or Ih'o before 1 went out
to the best of my knowledge, tho General,

not be ablo to attend the board, and that
Mr. Butler and Mr. Overfield would con

This is the last conversation we had.

was to say was yes? I did say that 1
thought all you had to do was to say the

Major Reynolds about it. I say upon my
solemn oath, that I never told Mr. Hill that
I had authority from any of the Canal Com
missioners to say any thing about it. I say
upon my solemn oath that I never pledged
my word to Mr. Hill, that ho could get the
office; as I have a God to meet I never men
