The Missing Coupons.

We publish the following extract from
card of Auditor wickliffe; published in the
Bulletin yesterday morning:
The custom (for until last session of the
Legislature there was no law upon the SUBJ
pons by punching holes through them. and
pasting them in book kept for that pur-
The tremendous amount of these coupons
received by me, through the operation of
the one per cent tax, as well as the usually
large amount from other sources, made 1t
impossible for me to cancel and paste them
as fast as received, Tor this Is q laborloua
and tedious business.
], therefore, required my clerks TO put all
commons Id envelopes and seal them tip, and
( indorse the envelops with the name Of the
party from whom they were received, the
number of coupons and their total amount.
|. These envelopes, containing the coupons,
were then placed by me in large cash box
made for the purpose, and deposited in
bank, where they now are,
The amount being 50 large, il was my Id
tention to call the attention of the Legia-
lature to it, and ask that Joint committee
OF both Houses be appointed to examine and
count said coupons, and, after seeing that
my accounts were correct, to destroy all
such coupons by fire. But the Legislature
passed law upon the subject at it's last
session requiring me to cancel and paste
such coupons. and l have kept them de-
posted in bank, as the safest place I could
find, until the opportunity was offered me
to complete the work of canceling aud past
ing them.
These coupons are now in bank and
ready TO be delivered up to any responsible
party.
