was settled with a j ,gislativ.: = g GER

both sued, and he paid Mr.. Glaze two
hundred dollars, and Mr.. Glaze still
holds the certificate as claim against
the State.
In the account of w. J. Whippsr,
attorney at law, designated as G l2,
he, charges the State the modest
sum OF
$50 PER DAY FOR FoRTY-THREE DAYS
professional services rendered the
committee appointed to investigate
tue affairs OF the Bank Of the State.
This investigation resulted in the ap-
pointment of Representative O. G..
PuHer, receiver, whereby the State
lost q large amount of money, by
commissions and other means.
For years large accounts amount
| ing to several hundred dollars, an
llually, have been paid for
CLEANING THg HALLS
/ of the Senate and House Of T2.cpre-
sentatiyes, While hundreds of con-
victs were in the city entirelyidle.
To illustrate the economy practioed
now, we will state, that not one dol,
liar is paid out for such work, con-
vet labor being utilized.
We have examined the accounts for
fitting locks to the desks Of members,
and find that during one session the
State was charged with 367 locks,
where there are only 1874 desks in
the Senate and House, thus giving
mere than two locks to each. We
submit few accounts for wood and
coal. Upon a close calculation. We
find that during one session moro
than
ONE THOUSAND CORDS OF WOOD
and one thousand three hundred and
twenty tons of coal were charged for,
and at the same time there was not a
single wood stove in use at the State
House. Sergeant Williams in his
evidence states that not fourth Of
the wood and coal purchased was,
consumed at the State House. He
also says that Mr.. Crews furnished
and delivered to any of the members
who asked for it this necessary COM
modify.
From the account of Mr.. Mayrant
it appears that he furnished Senators
Whittemore, Maxwell and others with
wood.
The bills rendered show that thous-
ands Of dollars were spent annually
for stoves to heat theState House and
committee rooms. Sergt. Williams
testifes that the committee rooms
were furnished with stoves every
year, and that, when he called for
them, the members told him /" it was
none of his business. y
Mr.. Palmer states that the stoves
in the State-House are worth 81, 800
at this time, and that he does not
find oae-eighth of the stoyes,at the
Capitol which he furnished.
We will not attempt to give the
amount Of soap,

the accounts amounted to thousands
of dollarsl Verify, they should have

appears that bills contracted for the

them from starving, and turned out
upon an outraged people; the unfor-
tunate inmates of the Lunatic Asy-

Mr.. Woodruff:'s evidence on this
subject is as follows: During MIR.
Parker's term Of Office and part Of
Mr.. Cardozo's, up to the time of spe-
cifc appropriations. pay certificates
for stationery, which included al
most everything, and for other ac-
counts, were issued to such an extent
! that they sold on the streets for from
ten to twenty cents on the dollar
The evidence shows that the average
member never received over ten dol
lars worth of stationery; but the
5ills rendered and paid by tie State
n one session amounted to S6S,000
jforsthis commodity alone.
Clerk Jones, in his evidence, says:
Stationery included refreshments,
dry goods, groceries, carpets, furRi-
ture; horses aud carriages, and mis-
!, l,cellaneous articles of merchandise,
and the names used in the accounts
were
GENERALLY MYTHS.
TO further illustrate the frauds
committed under this head, we refer
to vouchers in evidence Of A. O.
Jones, designated as Nos. 81, 81 and
81 amounting in the aggregate to
| 1866. Mr.. Jones says: ut is as
serted that these accounts were for
books and fine stationery furnished
the members" Attention is called
to accounts numbered from 10! to IA,
inclusive, where it will be seen that
In January alone one firm furnished
s$6, ,6s3 90 worth Of stationery" or
more than fifty dollars worth per
month to each member. In addition
to the above, the. accounts of Measrs.
Bryan & McCarter and Mr.. Stokes,
well known dealers, who reside in
Columbia, and who furnished station
tfery to The House end Senate, are
itemized, and, from appearances. in
