We would say further, that II 1t were true that
tbese agents had mace ustifable good of the
property wrongfuly ATTRACTED from US, in opn-

We might consider il in passing sentence upon the of

be-tows it TO pious uses What shall be said, how.
ever OF the large Of SO 600 OF money which, il
effect forms part of that taken from US. and from
Others, which applied TO the procuring the pass
age OF the last tariff, that panacea which TO
all our evils Is that application Of our money such
H. TO commend il to our approval or TO that Of the
public II is true we know not with certainty where
II went or how 1t was applied if we except some
$500 which was spent for publications, newspaper
art cles and the like OF the balance We k now that
it is gone, and we know person by whom it
discussed. We know there were at time, certain
memoranda in the possession Of our agent which it is
supposed would explain, in part, this mystery, but
they have disappeared
While we have figures for matters which do not ap.
pear objectionable-the diffusion Of light, Of informa-
ton Of srgumentsthsie is q careful omission OF any
thing which would show what became of the balance
Of the money. This gives rise TO disae reeabe sus-
piciOns, that it mus have gore for purposes which
would not bear exposure, and which needed TO be hid
den and concealed. Was il employed in costly enter
tainmens at Washington, given to those supposed TO
be able to fuence legislation there VAST expend
ed in the employment of q corps Of lobby members,
hangers to the skirts Of members of Congress, to
wory them INTO giving votes in favor OF such mea-
sures might be supposed fayorably to affect their
inteiests Or was it employed for still darker and
more Objectionable purposes.
We know only that one OF the firm, Mr. stone, mas
told US that while he was at Wa bngton abOriDg dill
gently aud with all his might 10 dnuse information
and by all lawful means 10 persuade Congress into the
passage of tariff which would prove less and
advantageous 10 the wooden interests, which
have long been depressed, he told if he hoped for
oucces. 1t would be necessary FOR hun to adopt quite
another course Of measures and to be less scrupu0us
than be in the Of the means at his disposal;
aha that letters were written home that other
agent, one of more pliable temper, mast be en-
poyod, and that, in consequence thereof he was with.
drawn aud another member OF the firm sent on To rep
recent thcm and who, a. he suppo-es pald out and
disbursed OF controlled the application OF the rest OF
the nancy.
. So our money vent, without our knowledge or con-
sent. We have account Of it, aud are unable TO
tell how much OF it OuTe, and hOw much belonged
others. We not assured that it even did go for
the Tariff. 1t il limited that it was There is a
darkness about il that cannot penetrate. Perhaps
il may be better that We should not. There might be
brought to light matters OF state which 1t would De
disagreeable Ito some people, TO have exposed. We
told that whatever was done, It was done with the
best intentions, and for our good. II that mach
Wanted Tariff shall prove beneficial to the wooden
manufacturing interest We have the satisfaction OF
contemplating that had we not been stihcd by our
friends before The day dawned We too, might have
tasted its good fruiis
The Committee 90 on 10 say that they have reason
to know that the subject of bringing to punishment
the guilty persons has been considered IN the proper
quarter and they do not consider II their duty To say
more on that matter in this report The books have
generally been regularly kept and II has been dni'
cult TO trace the specific apple alton OF tue means OF
credit OF the Company to any particular unIaNiu puI-
pose They state that, from careful animation which
has been made of the machinery and mills at Law
renee and of the accounts and doings OF the agent,
g. " Fox, they arr satisfied that he has performed
Lis duties hot only with Gdo.ity, punctuay and Jill,
gence but with dcvoodness 10 your Interests, ana
with such ability that want )f success can IN no degree
be charged upon lin. They desire particularly TO
notice bis attention TO economy in small Things ana
large for which he is entitled to crodt-for II Is IL
such matters that profits to be found In our manu-
featuring establishments. The property al the mU.
i in excellent condition, ard the whole establishment
is in state of efficiency. The machinery Is mo9.Tn,
and of the latcst improvements. The estimate OF the
value Of the properly they believe to be decidedly be-
low the sum It would cost 70 replace the property
with a liberal allowance for depreciation.
