to a resolution of inquiry passed by the
General Assembly in regard to the re-
jected State bonds printed by the Ken
dali Bank-Note Company, ofNew York,
and surprises NE by saying that the
language Of that response is by some
construed as reflection upon me for
dereliction in official duty as Secretary
of the Sinking Fund Board, in leaving
these valuable papers so long in the
keeping Of the express company. |
am very sure that Colonel Rutiin did
not intend that such construction should
be placed upon the language he used.
NOR did so interpret it when | read his
response in the daily press,) for | knew
that he was advised of the fact that |
acted under the instructions of the
Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners
in refusing to receive the bonds. 1t
was the opinion Of the Board then that
the reception of the bonds by the agents
of the State would be adverse to her
interests in the suit then pending for
the recovery of Kendall's claim for
work done. X. W. n. holland.

money, and started out to kill Indians
the other day. This afternoon three
police officers descended upon the adj
yenturers on the bank Of West river,

dition. Lynch had a bullet in his
right leg. At first he said that ne
received the wound in open battle With
a West-Havcn farmer. but afterward
admitted that he was shot by his COM
panion. Wruck, though the younger
Of the boys, was the leader of the eX-
petition, and it is believed by the po-
lice that Lynch's wound is the result OF
some mutinous demonstration on his
part, which his captain promptly
quelled. The wound, though painful
is not dangerous. The boys say they
got as far as Philadelphia on their
travels, but the story is not believed.
They had spent about $50 Of the stolen
money.
