persist in behaving themselves. In
this respect they differ from their

in that they were loyal 10 the Gov

enced men, they were easily prevent
ed from knowing the fraud practised,
or made to believe the transaction an
allowable one. In similar mode OF
Iovercharge, lumber bills purchased
in the Spring Of 1865 were increased
in amount, and the difference in both
eases appropriated by the architect.
No pretence of right to charge CON-
missions existed or was claimed, he
being employed at fixed salary as
authorized by law. The total amount
thus embezzled during the whole pc
riod from July 1861, to the time OF
discovery, is found to be little less
than ten thousand dollars. The in
vestigation was found to implieate
r. L. Broo&es, a subordinate and as
sistant of Blackburn, and the case
was placed IN the hands of the At
torney General, who has commenced
both criminal and civil prosecutions
against the offenders.
The discovery of these frauds nat
urally gave raise to rumors and sus-
tpicions that others would be found
in the contracts for building, etc, So
far as / have been able to carry this
investigation, no malpractices have
been proven in the dealings between
arehitect and contractors, nor have 1
seen evidence that any such profit
has been made by the contractors
which would lead to reasonable sus-
ipicion. For this Justification, howev-
er, as well as for more complete
examination than have been able to

searching investigation by q com
