was referred the alleged over.issue Of
State bonds after a session since
last June, have completed their labors
and prepared report which is to-day
given to the Governor. They have

were paid into the treasury by c. s.
Baker, and accounted for by Henry S.
McGraw, State treasurer. The report
says, The settlement of Henry S.
McGraw is satisfactory explanation
Of the whole question, and had it been
placed on the minutes Of the sinking

been no difficulty with reference to
the loan, ard all outstanding bonds
would have been redeemed. This
settlement is found on a Ay-leaf of one
Of the books Of the State treasurer a
