No. 166, in favor Of G. 7. Bron.

All these certificates Eera Issued with
cut any consideration aud are ftaudu-
lent. They were all ents dated. This
$20. 600 was TO be divided between Oar.
dozo, Gseaves, Moses, Hoge, and myself
Cardoz0 eaid at the consultation that he
would take Hoge's for him. House ccr-
tifcase, No. 654, for 1850. %, in favor
OF II. q. Hawkins, is fraudulent certifi.
cate, and was given by me 10 Hardy
Solomon to go into his claim, aud l re.
ceived from him 5000 for my services
in connection with the claim, which were
placed to my credit in the South Caro-
lima Bank and Trust Company. The
bank books corrobofate Lee in this state
ment r,--,.
Ex-Governor +. J. Moses testifies in
reference to the claim: "a schedule rep.
Fesentiug the character and amount of
the claim was laid before the General
Assembly; {. large number of claima
provided in the bill were withdrawn by
Solomon aud collected out of the de.
| hciency tag, ss1 certificates issued in
fictitious names by Gleaves and Lee :
that he (Moses) received $1,000 of the
amount; that the idea Of withdrawing
the lawful claims and substituting pay
certificates was talked of on two occa.
aions in his Office. and thinks the first
time Cardozo aud Solomon vere present:
the second time Cardozo, Lee and
! Gleaves; the two latter agreed TO issue
them and Cardozo to pay them"
Mr. Lawrence N. Zoaly, cashier Of the
bank corroborates the above state
ments Oh to tho withdrawal of and cub
stitution and collection of the fraudu-
lent paper for the honest. We cannot
moro fully exhibit the frauds and bribe-
~ connected with this transaction than
by appcnding Afr. Zealy's evidence en-
tire to this report IS showing that Eetl
Senators ss:ssAs ED .~sn:y izisaai55sf5 Of the
House were bribed or paid In certificates
of deposit. The silent testimony of tbe
books OF tho bank speak moro conclu-
| aively than all other witnesses. One fact
aacertaiEed by reference to these books
deserves mentiou. These books of one
time passed into the custody of Comp.
tnoller GeaeSal Thomas @. Dunn as re-
ceiver of the bs0k. His name appeared
in the list of persons who were the recip-
tents of certificates of deposit and charg-
cd 1ade- the head FLegialative Expe...
| ses" for 300, anu was erased theTefrom
and tho naI,e Of Joseph Crews, then
dead, appeare to be written in ito place,
In the handwriting of Dunn. The fact
was discovered by reference to the cor
responding entry in the deposit book,
and il beyond question. If the name
| then substituted had besn fictitious, or
Of living person, there wonld have been
sosmuch to redeem the total depravity of
this transaction. AS it is, Indignation is
fatigued beyond expression.
