are continually being perpetrated by the "ins'
on the "outs" and the people at large. The
Canal system of this State has been the parent
of much sin and iniquity in the shape OF per-
Jury and peculaton To show how far these
iniquitous matters have gone, it is only neces-
sary TO publish the following outline report OF
a committee, of which Mr. McMurray was |
chairman, in the Senate of this State the other
day. "The chairman stated that evidence was |
taken by the select committee which was ready |
to be reported, as to the black mail paid by |
several banks to obtain the control for specula.
ting purposes of the Canal deposits. Some six
or eight cashiers were examined, and four or
five admit the payment Of money to prominent
politicians of the west, either directly, or by
discounting notes, with the understanding that
they should not be collected when due. One
cashier paid an agent 81 900 in single year.
and in a single year discounted his notes for
another 81 900, on the above understanding, in
consideration of his political influence with the
Canal Board. That system of exaction has
been practsed on the banks, and by them
deemed necessary to procure these deposits is
satisfactorily proven. There is some cores
pondence submitted with the testimony that
will surprise the public"
