HoLCoMBE AND DUNN.
Sunday, March Is, 1874. Must try
to take care of some senators. Want to
do something for Holcombe and Dunn.
Am sorry now that the claim bill did not
pass, but as Summers, Berry, Harvie and
Allen and others have got their claims
through, trust we will not see their long
faces around the General Assembly again.
Signed number of pay certificates, and
promised to do all that could for each
senator. All seem to be surprised about
financial matters. Senator White should
not complain, for he got the certificate
for Bristow Davidson. Corwin appears
easy. He is not hard man by any
means. What are the prospects for bus
I mess? Cardozo seems to be willing to
pay with no money in the treasury; en-
tirely too willing, If there was any he
would be unable to do anything"
ALMOST SIGNED THE STATE AWAY.
Tuesday, March II, 1874. Signed and
gave out certificates to great number
to-day. Almost signed the State away.
| I did hope that Gleaves and Lee would
be able to stand the pressure. Its just
awful"
"wednesday. March Is, 1874. Settled
with Dunn and Holcombe satisfactorily
to-day. Gave them a certificate of the

Nash is mad at somebody. Can't help
him, and 1 suppose he will continue mad.

Gates to-day: Isuppose they really amount
to nothing"
TUESDAY, March "a, 1874. Called on
Cardozo to-day, and gave him an order
for $4,000 fon the Governor, also another
order on the permanent fund of the reg.
ular session printing. Trust these will
close his mouth for the balance. of his
term; he shall not have another red cent
out of me-"
"wednesday, May 27, 1874. Senator
Whittemore called and talked for some
time, but it amounted to nothing. Met
Senator Jones, and informed him of my
impecuniosity; that I was unable to help
him, &c. He was disappointed, angry,
and threatened to vote against me next
time for clerk of the Senate. WE'LL. l
have done my best for all of them"
"wednesday, June 8, 1874. Propose
to stand by the friends. Think such
Democrats rs Senator Holcombe my best
friends. Trust Mr.. Holcombe will be
returned to the Senate"

Patterson $t045 in pay certificates, for
which he gave me receipt for one years
rent of his house. Promised to call and
see him at 81 o'clock tomorrow"
"Friday, January Is, 1875. Wrote, a
letter to Gen. John A. WageneA relative
to charter of Carolina Mutual Insurapce
Company. Will get it through for him
and not cost the General dollar. Sent
certificates to President Gleaves to sign.
Got them signed. Will send them also
to Gaillard. Must try to getsomething
out of them to pay my account. Re-
ceiyed check from Cardozo for 81 ,25O,
which turned over to Jackson to deposit
for office. Could. do nothing with my
contingeuts. Got all contingent certiti-
Gates signed by the President, and Gail
lard, Gleayes and Cardozo came near
having serious quarrel. Crews and
Owens are on the war path. Things look
squally."
