PROTEST.
Of The Minority Of the PriUy Council o

Ne1D JerSeY.
/ The undersigned, members OF the Pryy
Council of the State of New jersey, do
hereby protest against the act and determi-
nation ofthe Governor and Privy Council
summoned for the purpose ofcasting up the
Whole number of votes from the several
counties for each candidate as Representa-
tive otthis State in the twenty-siXth Con
+ gross Of the United States, and determining
that John B. Aycrigg, William Halsiead,
John 2. B. Maxwell, Charles C. Siratton,
Joseph T. Randolph, and Thomas Jones
4 Yorke, were of the six persons who had
I the greatest number of votes from the
whole State for Representatives, in the
twenty sixth Congress ofthe United States
from this State, this day made, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
lst. Because it is apparent upon the face
of the certified list of the votes given for
the said Representatives in the several
counties Of Middlesex and Cumberland,
that the said lists are not general lists of
the Whole votes Of the said counties res
pectlVely--but, on the contrary, that The
Clerk OF Middlesex halhaltogether omitted
the votes of the township of South Amboy,
IN the said county; and the Clerk Of Cum
bertrand hathaltoeether omitted the votes of
tho township Of AIillvlle, in the said coun-
~; without either of them assigning the
reason therefor; and BY the plain provisions
! of the laws in such case made and provided,
it is the duty Of the Government 10 pro-
cure fall and perfect returns of the said
votes from the said Clerks before proce ed
ing TO lay the same before the Privy Coun-
ell and until such du,y is performed by the
Governor, and complete returns OF the
whole votes from the several counties IN the
whole State are procured, the Governor and
Council have no lawful right 10 act.
ID Because, it is manifest upon the
face ofthe said lists returned by the Clerks
ofthe counties Of Middlesex and Cumber-
land, and upon The castingup and deter
miniion of The Governor and Privy Coun-
Gil, aforesaid, that the votes of the voters of
the township Of South Amboy, in the coun-
| ty of Middlesex, and the votes Of the vo-
ters OF tho township Of MiIlville, in the
county of Cumberland, are. omitted, sup,
pressed, or excluded, without any reason or
cause being assigned tberefor-and thus a
part of The lawful voters of the whole
State have been DISTINGUISHED by the acts
/ Of comm ssion of the Clerks Of the couns
les of Middlesex and Cumberland, and the
acts of omission of the Governor Of the
State.

by It's agents, Immediately fell into costa
cIes at the magnanimity and liberality of
the Bank in undertaking TO provide for its
honest debts.
1t appears that the greater part ofthe
funds arising from the sale of these bonds
was required to meet the disbursements oC
the War Department. at the South and
Southwest. Soon after the drafts of the
Treasurer upon these funds began TO be
realized by the discussing officers for the
purpose of expenditure, we understand
that an officer of the Bank was sent TO this

#resenting that if specie were demanded up
on them, the resumption would be DELAYED
and the public convenience greatly obstruct-
ed. Strong statements, in apparent good
faith, were made on these subjects, for the
purpose of procuring orders, TO be given TO
the disbursing officers, not to demand spe
Gle upon these drafts on public account.
Every person conversant with the man
agement of the Executive offices here, du>
ring the last year, must bear testimony
that, on all occasions. the most scruDulous
anxiety has been manifested by them to
promote the convenience of the public, as
well as the security of the banks, during
the endorsements into which the latter
had been plunged by their lawless expan.
slons and contractions. A similar spirit of
accommodation appears to have been shown
on This occasion. But no sooner were or
ders issued by the Paymaster General on
thesublect than the faSt was seized on by
The special organs of Bank above men

unconditional surrender of the people of

was evidently proclaimed by its order =
That any course should be taken by these
papers in regard to The transactions of the
Bank, and against its Indicated wishes. no
one canfbelieve for a moment. We happen
TO know fact in relation to the Bank or

so!n'ely at It's disposal The Bank not
only owns, by deeds recorded, the printing
office, presses. types, Sc. but holds execu-
tons over the Editors for Essential AID
which have been carefully renewed at
every term ofthe court, in pursuance of
express orders, no doubt, that the persons
of the Editors may tie placed in safe Gus
tody at moments warning, should they
fail in due subservience to their master.

REPORT


vi the Joint Select Committee of the
Legislature consisting &C Mr.. HadIey of
the Senate, and Messrs. Stewart of Kinds.
Pickett and McIlen of the House on the
late Auditors books, and papers and the
Stale Funds, &c.
We copy from the Vicksburg Register
the following summary of this important
document, SO creditable to,the able inses.
legations and assiduous labors of tho
Committee.-Natche= Courier.
"IhIs report occupies nearly two ma.
ges OF the Mississipplan, and from the
confusion in which the committee found
the affairs of the late Auditor must have
cost them an immense deal of labor. The
committee commence with saying, that,
unable to complete the investigation by
the hrst day of May, when they were di-
rccted to do so, they continued their la.
bors. Upon the examination of the late
Auditors books, the committee found "no
entries had been made for twelve, and no
posting had been done for eighteen months
PRIOR to the expiration Of John III. NAL
lory's term of service" and as no report
had been made TO the Legislature since
February 9th, 1886, the committee have
based their calculations upon the Auditors
report of that date.
