is concerned, and the next TO be heard
of it will be through the courts. The

terest, and succeeded in stirring up
quite a little breeze. The committees

point, and does not mince matters In the
least.

o'clock, Chairman Caldwell presiding
and Messrs. Speidel, Atkinson and

side was present, but Mr.. Deiters was
and was called upon for any sxplana-
ton. the settlement Of 1877 being re-
quested first. -,

Mr.. Deiters.
"rhev are not in the office, nor 10 he

Sherlff's receipt" added Deiters.
"Did you find that receipt, Mr. Gil

mo, sir"
"They found the toll receipts and
other papers and it stands To reason
this receipt should be among them,
.aid Deiters; whereupon, it not APP
pearing, a search was begun, while
Deiters was requested TO explain the
Marshall overdraft.
In the midst OF this Mr.. George X.
| Tingle appeared and asked to II tTrupt
the committee on a question OF privl-
lege, which was granted, and he said:

public on this matter. On Friday, at
cording to the InteHigencer, Mr.. Delters
said, IF | was opened out on George X.
Jingle l might tell something too Now
want TO ask Mr.. Deiters il he knows

Deiters No, and told you on Satur'
dav that
Tingle-Never mind what you said
on Saturday. l want you to say now
If there was anything wrong about my
office. Was there?
Deiters-No. And want to say here
that | had no conversation with Capt
Mccoy, but came in after he was
through. don't remember saving any
such thing.
Tingle-I am satisfied. Good morn
ing, gentlemen-
Caldwell-One moment, Mr.. Tinge
the Iatelligencer reporter wants 20 Sc,
himself right.
Howell-There is slight Topographic
cal error there, making the DeiterS state
ment run too close after McCoy's testi
mony and connecting them; but the
language is certainly correct. 1 had nc
intention OF misrepresenting Deiters.
Speidel-I don't remember in what
connection the words were used, but
Deiters certainly said "li was opened
out | might tell something on Geo. K
Jingle"
Tingle-Now then, want Mr.. Deit

er there is anything wrong about my Of
fee.
Deiters-No, George.
| Tng,e-Thats all. Good morning
gentlemen. I'm much obliged.
This little matter being settled, the
Marshall matter was resumed. MIR
Deiters could give no satisfactory ex
PLANTATION. He simply said that he had
neglected to make the proper credits on
the final estimate and Marshall was
thereby permitted to overdaw.
There was no better luck with the
Poor House matter. The box OF papers
mentioned by Deiters was found and
contained everything wanted except the
all-important receipt from the Sheriff
Deiters insisted on intimating that some
one had gotten away with tins paper
but Mr.. Speidel very plainly said he
didn't believe any such receipt existed
at the present or any other time and on
his motion, any further explanations
were dispensed with, Deiters saving he
had nothing further TO tell. He then
donned his hat and disappeared.
The committee then, by yea and
nay vote, adopted the report found else
where, by an unanimous vote, and the
