Of certificates ofindobtedncgs to the mem.
bers of the lower house of tho General
Assembly, upon orders made upon me by
MIR. Jones. paid numerous orders OF
that description. and every one Of such
payments is q matter of record. l have
examined some forty or fifty OF such
orders presented for my Inspection by the
committee, and am satisfied they we're
either paid by Mr. Jackson or myself
and have also examined tho account OF
Clerk Jones and find entries Of payments
made corresponding with sa;d orders u
Clerk Jones is further corroborated ~ to
payments by the testimony of Reprcscri.
tatives j. j. Grant. w. w. Ramsay
Chas. Simms, A. Simpkins, s. J. Keith
Il. s. Tarlcton, David Graham and

, Those entries were made by w. H
Jackson, sbookkeeper of the company
In addition tn these amounts he says
that I'VE frequently turned over the Ger.
} tiiicatea and other papers belonging tc
: the company" and that he ''was blcd b.
T the friends over and over again on she
same claim" The names on the "little
, book" are .+s same which appear on the
list of pa, ments made by Clerks Jones
and Woodruff as shown by their evidence
whicE includes amounts ra;.i S.a. ,;t.; 4;
cors and Senators, with several erasures
On comparison of the little book" with
the ledger OF the printing company, We
find erasures of tho following entries: T.

Q. D. Hayne, 81 600; w. f. Holcombe,
$1,000; w. II. Jones, 81 900; G. F. Nc.
Intyre, $4,000.
These erasure~ were made before the
