THE FUNDING BILL AND WHAT IT HAS
COST

OV01.
It will be remembered that on Saturda,
last Mr.. Head, Of Loudoun, offered resolu
zion in the House, inquiriug what amount
and to whom, had been paid moneys of th'
Commonwealth for the engraving and litho
graphing the certificates of indebtness of tn,
State The resolution having passed, in re
Spouse thereto, the Second Auditor thii
morning submitted the following report:
SECOND AUDITORS OFFICE,
RICHMOND, Jan. 8th, 1872. (
Hon. Marshall Hanger, Speaker House of Delegates
SIR-In response to your resolution of 9Th
inst, 1 have the honor to say, that have nj
personal knowledge Of the contract made By
the Treasurer for Engraving or Lithograph
ing the stock to be issued under the Funding
Act.
BY section of that act, it was made the
duty af the Treasurer to "cause to be prepar.
ed, engraved or Autographed, registered bonds
and bonds with coupons and certificates, &C.,
and by section it is provided that 'atl nee
essary expenses incurred in the execution Of
the act shall be on the certificate of the cor
rectness Of the same, signed by the Treasurer
and Second Auditor and approved BY the
Governor"
When the bills for such engraving, &c.,
were presented to me, certified by the treas
urer, added. my signature, declaring from
the beginning that knowing nothing of the
contract, or the value of the work, would
leave the responsibility where it properly be-
longed.
This course was pursued till December %,
when bill of the New York company, for
for s3,645, and one of Charles
Ludwig, for lithographing, for $3.50, were
presented for my signature.
On inquiry at the auditors Office it appear
ed that warrants had already been issued for
.expepses- ofsfunding public debt" for S43,-
962.5O, and refused to add my signature.
The other information called for by tie reso
luton will be furnished, | presume, by the
treasurer and auditor of public accounts.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
ASA ROGERS, Second .Auditor.
II will be seen from this report, that al
though the, Second Auditor was required to
attach, his name to the accounts, when certi-
6ea~fo by the Treasurer to pay the expenses
Of the work, differed so materially from that
ofahe Treasurer.that be positively refused
to attach his name to the certificates; S43,-
900 and more, he believed to be ample for
the purpose indicated.
The Auditor has clearly shown that he be-
lieved there was something wrong in this
matter, and SO reports to the House this morn
Ing.
The First Auditor reports that to date,
9th, 1872, there have been paid
sSs44,69101. He does not know what balance
there may be due and unpaid.
The whole subject will undergo athorough
aud searching investigation, which, when
concluded, the result will be given the pub
lic.-State Journal, 10th.

Honor Among Thieves,

A singular instance of honor, OF what sup.
plies its place, among thieves, was seen in tho
Court of Oyer aud. Terminer, New York city,
recently. As already mentioned briefly by
telegraph, two men were brought up to receive
sentence for theft committed some time ago,
which had been positively proved. Bnt be-
fore sentence was pronounced the spectators
in the court room were electrified by two men
rushing forward crying out, Them men are
not guilty. am the man" The incident
might very we'll have caused even lawyer to
entertain doubts of the suf6cicncy Of evidence.
and theologian to waver In his views of to-
tai depravity. All four Of the men were re-
manded for investiga ion. The suggestion is
made that the incident was sharp "dodge ;"
by cenfcdcrates to get the real thieves dis
charged, and then procure an acquital GU
their own trial.
