And further, that Mr.. Davidson NOV
ed to amend the resolution of Mr.. War
ner, by substituting the fol- wing, which
your committee find in the original hand
writing of Mr.. Davidson, as we believe,
as follows: m4 W
Resolved, That the Board do allow
the Prosecuting Attorney, for the SER
{ vice required, the sum of four hundred
I dollars per annun,.'
! Which amendatory resolution was ad-
opted By the Board.
/ Your committee further report that
the record Of the session of June, lS49
correspond precisely with the original
resolutions with the exception of the
word prosecuting" in Davidson's res
olution, which was altered to District,
in order to give the proper official name
to the office.
We find, further, that ]. C. Cover was
at the time of making up the record, the
Deputy Clerk, and made up the same il
his own hand writing.
Your committee have called upon Mr.
Cover and learn from him that the words
per annum' were entered on the recort
as they now appear, at the time that the
record was originally made up, and thai
said words are in his hand writing.
Your committee further report, thai
they have examined copy of the Grant
County Herald published on the 9th o.
June, 1849, three days after the passage
of the resolution of Davidson, and be.
fore the record alluded to was made up
and find that the resolution intro.
duced by Davidson, as published among
the proceedings of the Board, in said pa.
per, contain the words per anaum,' ant
that it in all respects corresponds with
the original draft and the record subse.
quently made.
Your committee would add, that il
their opinion the representations, tina
the resolution of Mr.. Davidson, above
alluded to, was ever altered or changed
in its form or spirit, or intent, or tina
the record of the same was in any par.
ticular, ever mutilated, erased or chang.
ed, are not true in point of fact, and are
unfounded. In your committees opin,
ion, the Clerk of the Board of Supervi
sors has, in respect to the resolution re.
fered to, acted with strictest honesty ,an(
discharged all his duties with reference
thereto, with the utmost fidelity, and ii
faithful obedience to his oath OF once
and that the Clerk stands clear of even
the slightest imputation, which any erro.
neous reports may have tended 10 throw
upon his official character.
We recommend the adoption of the
following resolution.
Respectfully submitted,
VIM. r. BIDDLECOME,
Chairman.
