Mr. Williams said, upon examining the
books Of 1saacS, Taylor & Williams, that on
the 18th of July last he sold to the secretary
of the sinking fund (Mr. Colemap) $23, 200

cclYed from him $4,000 Virginia consols at
o.3J. For the difference (S7 ,320) the firm re-
celYed check on the Union Bank. Thought
it possible that he might have had some other
| small transaction with Mr.. Coleman. On
the 2Sth January, 1874, the Bank OF Com
merce had transaction with Colonel Mayo.
Exchanged $4,000 Virginia consois for SC, 900
peclcrs. The difference $3.50 was paid in
money.

ing difference of $3.50 of pccler bonds,
which was paid to Coleman.
