1869 and 1870. Mr.. 4. j. GARyEY Is the
lucky plasterer, and the warrants drawn
in his favor during that period aggregate
the enormous sum Of 81 $40, 4G4 OG! Here
ARE the Times comments on this second
exhibit:
II will be observed that the same care.
lessness with regard Ia dates shown in
these wonderful accounts extends even TO
thepersOns In whose names the checks were
supposed 10 be made out. Thus on Dec.
~, 1859, q check was drawn for $Sl, e33
in favor OF one "Fillippo Donarumma."
This was indO,-el by "Phillip +. Dunn
mey"-prObably name which was much
more appropriate to the transaction than
that Of "DUnarumma.' Three days alter.
ward another check for $33, 100 80 was
made out TOR DOnarumna, and this time
il was endorsed "Fillip Dunmln." The
conclusion In the minds OF Connolly md
Hall with regard to DOnarummh, Or DUN.
mey, or Dummin was Of little COnsc.
quence, seeing that the checks were also
endorsed by A. J. Garvey, so that we may
conclude the money found It's way into
the hands for which IL was intended.
As G. s. Miller is the luckiest carpenter
In the world, 50 Andrew j. Carney Is
clearly the prince Of plasterers. His good
fortune supasses anything recorded In the
ARABIAN Nights On one day, July 2,
1850, he received for plastGring aud re.
pairs no less than $45gBOS 9--that is to
say, warrants were made out In his name
Tor that amount His total receipts that
same month from Connolly and Hall were

In May, 1870, when lie WIS lucky enough

in the new Court House. He beat that

his work for part Of two months appears
to have been worth $Dij,7ij,ll. June

signers of the warrants deemed ii best To

ity,
All ofwhlch only shows what a genius
the Democracy have for finance, and how
admirably fitted they are to have control
Of the public treasury. For there never
was and never can be better illustration
Of this than the case Of New York.
There they have absolute and undispuled
control. Theirpolicy works out It's appro.
pirate results without check or restraint.
One result Is seen to be that in two years
over EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS are paid to
two men, agents Of the Ring, proIcssedly
for furniture, repairs r and plastering in
the new court house! We cannot doubt
that like opportunities will produce re.
suits aner their kind wherever the De.
mocracy get control.
