Mr.. STEVENS from the Select Commit

issue their bonds for the purpose OF canceii-
ing the Indebtedness incurred IN tie ouiioinS
of the Court House, reported :.
That the financial affairs OF Hennepin
County in consequence of the gross neglect
of 3, former board of County Commissioners
and IN. infamous conduct of several officers
of the County in days gone by, are in most
confused and EN- arrassins state. Fraud
;mbecility and dishonesty appears to have
slammed the official conduct Of some of those
who have had the management of the affairs
Of that unfortunate and already too heavily
ridden Connty. The money of the peo-
plc has been squandered to satisfy the selfish
ends of those who were placed in power. All
the matters appertaining to the Courthouse
has been conducted in a gross and most high
" Objectionable manner, but the peculiar cir
cumstances, and the unfortunate condition Of
the creditors of that county warrant your
committee in recommending to the favorable
consideration of the House the accompany
ing substitute for the original bill.
