there is no need to be, neither has

testimony before the Committee OF tho Now York
Common Council relative to tho Argus, alleging that
this paper 'subsidizod not by paying money, but
by putting It IN appropriation bills tor work supposed
to have been by IT, Is simply aud wholly rasc--
false detail and false IN tho total, without shadow
OF foundation IRON the commencement 10 the end The
Argus Company never received dollar Tor any
printing not actually done In strict accordance
and In full compliance OF conra or order properly
gwen and due authority. Not one doIiar was ever
appropriated Tor the Argus o. the Argus Com
rany, except In the annual Supply bill.
When the Argus Company had contract
for doing tho legislative printing tho money
paid account of such contract camo from the State
Comptroller and paid out by him sworn
vouchers, showing In detail the work which was paid
for the amount aud character thereof anu when done
and those vouchers all passed tho scrutiny ot the
Comptroller at that time. As 10 any amounts IN the
supply bill tho money paid thereunder
also paid by tho Comptroller on detailed
and sworn statement, IN items showing when, where
and under what authority the printing was done, ana
to whom II was delivered. This done pursuance
ofthc FIRST section OF the supply bill, aud therc never
has been ono dollar paid the Argus Company
IN any form whatever. Neither the Argus Com
pany, nor any member of said company,
received as payment dollar
any valuable thing Whatever ut any time from Mr..
Tweed any one IN his behalf Tor any purpose what
ever. No pecuniary or other benefits ever re-
ccived ny any member ri tho Argus Company from
never had the Dcncnt or use OF the columns OF the

pany was ever indebted TO him Tor iavor oil any
