terest of bonds loaned to the Railroad Com
panies. The Committee find that the accounts
of the Bank of Tennessee with the Railroad
Companies and the State have been kept with
great care and accuracy, and are correct in
every particular. and she has made most
satisfactory exhibit of these transactions with
the Railroads and also with the State Treasu
ry and the Comptroller.
If the account of interest were presented
every six months. the amount of interest for
any particular year could be much more
easily obtained, than when the account
is withheld for a long period. The Commit
tee have had no difficulty at all in ascertaining
the amount of interest paid on coupon bonds
in New York and Philadelphia by the Bank
OF Tennessee, as regular books have been kept
with the numbers of the bonds placed on the
! books. and when a coupon was presented and
paid, it was invariably cancelled and pasted
on the book opposite the number, the coupon
always bearing the same number as the bond.
| The Committee, however, have not been able
to arrive at the coupon interest paid at the
Office of the Comptroller for the last six years,
4 II ldCl lneTS nave Deen no regular
! books kept by him in which the coupons were
! pasted in any order or regularity. The cOu-
| pons have been pasted on without refer
ence to the number they bear, or the charac-
! of them. or the date they fall due; and the
! books do not show any particular year or
month when the coupons were paid off. and of
course very little can be discovered from
! them. The Committee would recommend that
the Comptroller shall procure books and can
eel and paste on the coupons similar to
those now held by the Bank of Tennessee, and
then there will be no difficulty in arriving at
the amount of interest paid by him on cou-
pons.

The Committee would state, that they have

been able 10 find the bond of Mr. Burton, as

The Committee would state. that for sever

the conclusion is irresistible that IS bonds
were lost before the count was made. and
consequently, during Mr. Crozier's admins
tration. 1t will be seen, by reference to Mr..
Crozier's deposition that he is fully satisfied
with the correctness of bis report.
The Committee beg leave to state, they
feel bound to give credence to the correctness
of Mr.. Crozier's report. for the following rea-
sons, to-wit: LIST, He states he counted the
bonds at the time of making his report. I'd.
1t corresponds with the amount down to
certain point footed up on old paper. And
Sd, What makes it conclusive is. the bonds
were counted in Mr.. CroZier's Office, in Mr..
Spence's presence, and the old paper referred
to. made out by Mr.. Mostly, at Mr.. Spences
instance and request, and handed to him. If
then, Mr.. Crozicr is correct, and Mr. Spences
book is to be relied on. it follows. as before
stated, that IS of the bonds were lost in Mr..
Crozier's administration; but were they lost?
Would Mr.. Spence lose rs bonds for the space
of two years and half, without making COM
plant? becomes pertinent inquiry.
The memorandum hook referred to, and the
report lIldue 10 nave no OutSlhc
data. upon which we can rely. They conflict,
as before stated. with the old paper that furn-
ishes the number and character of the bonds.
Then. if we give credit to the old paper, which
we feel bound to do in part at least. for the
reasons above stated. showing the number
deposited during Mr.. Crozer's term, and If
gre credit to the memorandum book and report
TO Committee, as showing correctly the amount
deposited duGng Mr.. Lnttrel's term. it fol-
lows, that 10 of the l23 bonds claimed by Mr.
Spence, were never on deposit, and cOnse-
quently, never lost.
In connection with this old paper, and in
order to ascertain whether the bonds below
the point footed up to S203458 33, were on
deposit with the Comptroller, the Committee
have taken a copy of interest that was paid
in New York by the Bank of Tennessee, from
