S6.898 50

Total, $6,898 50
 This item is perhaps the most surprising fraud that has ever yet been perpetrated upon the Treasury, and when we reflect that it has been perpetrated by Christopher Columbus Dam- ley, the guardian of the Treasury, our surprise ought to be proportionally greater.
 An examination of these items may be in. teresting to the public. Jno. E. Knight receiv~ ed $1 1902 50 for about five or six months labor W hen he had been before glad to be employed at $6OO year as clerk in the Auditors office, where the salary was limited. This shows the exorbitant price paid. Is it possible for any one man to earn in one gear, one Hiousand nine hundred and ta0o dolhrs and Jty cents mere clerk, and ought the Guardian of the Treasury' to have paid such sum for five or six months service to the State?
 But Knight is one of the chief writers for the Gazette-hence this eXorbtant bill of his and the necessity of paying it.
 But A. M. Woodruff's reward is still worse. His pay was taoo h1ousand one hundred andEtty- seven doilars and fty cents for about five or six mouths service. Every body can see in this the hand of old Buck Woodruff himself- Poor Christopher Columbus is sold to a hard master, and he must foot the bill, although it destroys his political and moral character. He must not only pay old Buck himself, but also the minor members the family, and as the easi- est way of dscharging his debts, he drew upon the State treasury.
 That Capt. Danley, is a humbug every one cites the fact that though always making noise about economy, he has been the most reckless, wasteful and extravagant public officer the State has ever had. Look at the Allis case His pleasure excursion to New Orleans and his sub- sequent misconduct upon his return involved the State in lawsuit about the penitentiary, and judgment is now recorded against the State for eight or nine thousand dollars. Had he have been at his post the contract would have been awarded to Robins, the present con- tractor. But before his return Robins withdrew his bid and 1t was then awarded to Alis for eight thousand dollars more than Robins bid.
 Such are few and but a few of the items of neglect and misconduct and wastcful extrava- gance of C. C. Danley, the editor of the Ga zette. We shall refer to more of them next week, and speak more at large of the ANts case.
The true Democrat., 1854-12-06
The Auditors Extravagance.

Two years ago the Auditor in his report re- commended that all the landed interests of the State should be transferred to the offices of the Auditor and Treasurer. He said it could be done by these officers without any additional cost to the State and without any increase of labor on their part"
 With this fact before us, and knowing that he was in the daily habit of leaving his office and electoneering for the passage of the swamp land law on the score of economy to the State, we were surprised in looking at the facts dis. closed by the Treasurer's report. It there ap- pears that Christopher Columbus Danley, the great economist and protecting guardian of the interests of Arkansas at large, under a.law that would bring no additional cost to the State" has spent, upon himself and As strikers, the sum of $14,7O7 56.
 Passing by that that was paid to himself for printing, etc., we wish to point to one item which has been universally pronounced a fraud and swindle upon the swamp land fund. We take 1t from the Treasurer's report, and it is this:
 The following persons were paid as follows the sums opposite their names for "making and marking plats under direction of the Auditor:';
 Jno. E. Knight, $1,9O2 50
 A. M. Woodruff, 2,157 50
 H. V. Seckendorlf 1866 75
