NO neonsiderable amount of these claims,

board OF public works, has been added 10 tn e

OF The board OF audit to require presenta-

by the contractor that he had any valid

never would have presented for allowance
within the time prescribed.
Your committee have also found several
cases OF improper or excessive measure
prices contracted for. In all cases of impro-
per or illegal allowances, whether from mis-
taken or excessive measurements or other
cause, your committee are OF opinion that
the amounts thus improperly allowed can
be recovered by civil proceedings in the
courts, and that it ought to be done, unless
the a6judications of the board of
audit are absolutely conclusive against
the District. Since the board OF audit
filed their answers to the fnterroga-
tories of the committee, we have not had
time to examine or have examined the large
number of claims audited by the board, but

or erroneous allowances made to them, and

tfmony Of w. Nailor, p 2S2, and report of ex-
pert on contract of Wholly Il Brainard, d 1853
and seq tThese, 1t is to be hoped, are excep-
tional cases, as we have not been able 10
find many OF the parties who could throw
light upon the manner in which this appro-
priation was applied. We are informed that
there have already been some convictions in
the courts of the District for making out
fraudulent pay rolls on this appropriation;
and the courts having criminal Jurisdiction
In this District will fail of their duty if the
parties engaged In the frauds above referred
TO are not indicted and tried. We cannot
suppose that it was the intention of Con-
gress TO pay the clerks and superintendent
of the contractors of the board of public
works. They were not laborers in any prop
er sense, and ought not 10 have been paid
ont Of this fund. Nor should the auditor
have relied upon the sworn statement alone
his laborers, and TO whom 1t was due. This
has proved to be very inadequate prOtec-
ton against frauds upon this fund and upon
the laboripg men, for whom Congress In.
tended to provide.
II was made the duty of the board of audit
10 cause an examination to be made of the
accounts OF James A. Magruder, late treas
urer of the board of public works, and for
that purpose they were authorized to en-
pioy competent accountants. 1t appears
that the board of audit (pages 1929 consid-
cred that the balance found against Mr.. Ma
gruder, by the two accountants employed by
them, was S26 ,603.7i.
By referring to the testimony of one of
tntm, lbenle,) tpage 4Sl,) and his report TO
The board OF audit, page 20,) it will be seen
that this balance should be increased by the
sum OF sc, s0I 05, ana that the true balance, as
found by these accountants, is the sum OF
33,4loJ6. This does not include Sl3, S74, be
Ing the discount charged by the treasurer as
having been paid on sale of certain Dis
trict securities to one F. p. Kellogg. This
transaction, upon the facts presented in the
report of the accountant, has very suspic-
fous appearance, and requires further
explanation from the late treasurer.
Civil proceedings have been COM
menced against him, as appears from the
annual report OF the District Commissioners,
for the 500. 603.7l, and, from the facts before
your committee, IL is obvious, according TO
the statement OF the accountants, that the
proceedings should be SO amended as not
only to demand the sum of $50 40 rs, but this
sum Of Sl3,s15 in addition. The late trea-
surer will thus have an opportunity to ex-
plain q very suspicious transaction on its
lace, and to show that he Is justly entitled
TO be credited with this latter sum of money
In his accounts with the late board OF public
works. II he cannot explain IL satisfacto-
rily, the District will be entitled 70 recover
from him and his bondkmen the sum OF

The telegraph brings intelligence OF
the death of James Anthony. i in San
Francisco, yesterday morning, OF apo
plexy. Deceased was n of the found
ers of the Sacramento Union, and re-
manned a partner in its publication up
to the time Of its demise. He was
widely known on the Pacific coast,
and though knowing but little OF jour
nalism and possessing no talent what
over as a writer, he was nevertheless a
nan of rare administrative ability,
with which he combined a thorough
knowledge of the value of dollars ~ a
necessary adjunct to the success OF
every enterprise, whether newspapo'
rial or otherwise. In other words,
Anthony, in the better days o
the old Sacramento Union, always
kept a SHARP look out for the
sinews Of war, while comprehend
ing just enough of journalism to
keep his paper in the proper groove.
The Union flourished and %prospered
for ears under his direction, hut AS no
mortal man is infallible, Anthony at
last made a fatal mistake, and the re-
suit was the overthrow of his journal,
at one time the most powerful on the
Pacific coast. The carrying Of per-
sanal spite into the columns of a public
journal is what wrecked the Sacra-
MEMO Union. This is the rock on
which the old Onion split and houn-
dered in unfathomable waters. Mr..
Anthony was, however, q clever, gen.
ial gentleman, and as the guiding
spirit of a successful journal during
the reign of the Union, in California
politics and all other matters of public
interest, he enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of a large circle of his fellow
citizens. Peace to his ashes.
