certify.
The only interview l ever had with
the Superintendent Of Public Instruction
upon this subject was on Tuesday the
I'd inst, in this City. He then called
upon me "with the gentleman represen-
ting his securities" and presented bond
for my approval.
1t is nnyualifediy false that | declared
that the Bond was acceptable to me, but
tina, would not give the certificate be-
fore promised, unless he would bind him.
self to loan me as agent of the State,
Sixty thousand dollars under the act pas
sed at the extra session in July last.
So far from declaring myself satisfied
| with the bond, at once objccted to il
and refused to approve it because it
was special Bond applying to only this
particular fund, vile The Statute requi-
red .ha. the conditions Of the bond should
be general and retrospective as we'll as
prospective in their effect; and because
the penalty OF the bond was no, large
enough. No aIusion was made TO the
sixty thousand dollars except that a, near
the close of the interview l put to him
the question why lie had not paid to me
that ammount or answered my letter.
After examining the bond l a,iemp.
ted to show him its inyalidity, and then
unhesngta,inly told him that although
was willing to approve any good and
legal bonds that he might present. to me,
yet was resolved not 10 be directly or
indirectly instrumental in placing any
more money belonging TO the State or to
the School Fund in his hands, / very
frankly told him the reason why had
come to that determnation-and those
reasons will briefly assign.
lst. The General Assembly by the
passage af an act almost unanimously,
which was lost by the careleseness or
| fraud Of scme of its officers before re-
ceivlng the signature of the President of
the Senate, sufficiently indicated the
public desire and intention, tha, the Su-
perin,endent of Public Instruction should
have the custody oil 40 more public
monies.
I'd. Because he had failed 10 distribute
the Eve per cent fund among the several
School Fund Commissioners as was done
by his predecessor in office. and as be
professed TO do with the S54.33l, so ar.
rising from the sale of public Lands
from the Is. January to 3ls. Dec. 1853.
3D.. Because he did loan oat this fund
TO different persons upon such time and
with such security as he saw fit, and as
was convinced wholly without authority
Of law.

made by him to the General Assembly
in July last of the distribution Of monies
among the several County School Fund
Commissioners was false, as is now
