Talx-R'aycrS' Convention,
FOURTH DAY.

Mr.. Il. j. Scott offered the following rcso
luton, which was adopted
Whereas, it is customary and proper that
persons entrusted with large amounts of the
public funds should guarantee tho safe keep
ing aud faithful disbursement or the same,
aud whereas H. II. Kimpton Esq, the State
Financial Agent in New York, who holds
about two millions of State bonds, has given
nothing but his own personal obligation for
the discharge of his duties.
ReSOtvct}, That the attention Of the Gov.
ernor and the Attorney General be specially
directed to the risk OF loss by the death or
default Of said agent, and that they be re.
qucstcd to require of him bond with such
good and sufficient security as will protect the
interest OF the State committed to his hands.
Alr. Jones offered the following resolution,
Whereas, BY the act of the 2Gth of Au.
gust, cntitled an Act to authorize the State
Loan, to pay interest on tho public debt, the
Governor was authorized to borrow on the
credit of the State on common bonds, a sum
not exceeding one million of dollars, or SO
much thereof as may be necessary to pay
the interest on the public debt. Aud where,
as, it appears that instead Of one u.iIlion, two
million Of dollars of coupon bonds were ere
ated, the one with the words "For interest
engraved thereon, and the other without those
words /: and whereas, although it is now sta.
ted that 5000, 900 Of the two millions thus
issued has been recalled therefore,
RcSolOcd, That this Convention cannot but
deem this transaction as uncallcd for, aud
without legal authority, and as exhibiting an
irreguarity and capacity for fraud Which
merits its stern condo Inatiun
The committee to whom it was referred to
investigate, and report to this body to what
extent State and county Offices have been
unnecessarily increased since the inaugura.
tion of the State Government in 1868, and
with the view to rctrcnchmcnt and reform, to
what extent they might be dispensed with,
beg leave to report that they have examined
and consi lcred the matters embraced in the
resolution us fully as the limited time at their
disposal would admit =
They satisfied f,Uin this rAunluuliOn
that the number of offices of the State and
county have been unnecessarily increased
and that the salaries appertaining to the
same have bee fixed at amounts largely in
excess of Il fair compensation for tho services
rendered and that Us to those Offices abso
lutcly necessary to due administration Of
the Government, the salaries have in like
manner been inordinatcly increased. In sup.
port of this view your committee beg leave
to submit the following comparative state.
