foor-and there was something OF suspicion
] lurking here-that there might be some
| thing possibly would he something. possibly
| there was something before the commit
tee which would develop into matters
| which they did not at that time de
sire place before the great people o: this State.
| For that reason voted with the majority on
+; that occasion. The names that were in ques
| ton when that was presented were among the
most honorable il the state and did not desire
| that any suspicion should be thrown upon
| them, and therefore did not think il proper to
| let il 20 al that time without any investigation.
/ But Il whole week has gone by and this commit
| Tee comes now and says that tl-at which was but
| Il suspicion before has developed Itself INTO
| open charges now. and again they ask post
| p0nemCnt because as we were told III portion
I OF the debate here. the charges are serious
| charges. They have been characterized here as
| charges OF the most damaging character. It
! has been spoken of here stealing. !
| Gentlemen who have been appointed 10 the po
| sltionS which these gentlemen occupy stealing |
| from the State, What are the charges that are
here openly stated against these gentlemen II

| calunny has never yet tallcH-have CHARGED, !
/ under the law Of the state, the paltry sum Of

| serving the people without profit or any com
| pensatiOn whatever. We are told that these are
! serious charges That this i the reason why
