Edito1a Pre.1 and Tr5uns:
You publish in your paper Of yertsrday the
report Of the Committee of the Board Of Eluca-
tioa on the state Of the School Fund, and in your
remarks upon the report, ststel Upon inquiry
we learn that The blame for the condition Of
things must be distributed aucng three or four
gentlemen who harc at different times held the
Office Of School Agent; and though noue have
been guilty Of any criminal act, all have distiu-
guished themselves BY a lax md Illegal method
of doing business"
hare not examined the LIST Of doubtful notes
due the School Fund, as made out by the Com
mittee, 80 Is to be certain to whom blame At
taches, but viii! promise to make good every
dollar that under my administration has been
illegally loaned, or which from my carelessness
has been or may be lost to the School Fund
and this promise make aiso in behalf Of my
son, fur the time during With he was School
Agent. What others may hare done which
jeopardizes the fund, 1 kno1.nothing about, but
as far as I do know, belisye TINT the full
amount c.n be made out Of all the mortgage Sc.
curities.
Respecting the " mutila4i9n Of the books" to
which attention is called in the report; it is but
due to Mr.. Greenebaum to state what it amounts
to. Wien be took the agency, in 1856. he
opened new books By double entry, but having
failed by mistake in opening, the ledger in due
form, be cut out fve or si3 leAres that were
written upon, in the beginning Of the book, and
commemorative entries anew, which new entries
follow consccutive!y in dates from the old ledger
and corresponds with the day.book and journal.
If there had been any dishonest intention, q
dollar would hare bought a new book, and thus
the humiliation" complained Of would have
been bid. In my mind, the hook as it is, always
carried indubitable evidence that no wrong was
