PARAGRAPHS FROM THE RICHMOND WAIG.
Auditor Marye confcsscs 100000
More.
In letter to the editor Of the
Stanton indicator, Auditor Ma
rye makes the following confession
and attempt at avoidance:
" BY the act Of April %, 1852, TO
be found on page 473 of acts of
1SSl.'S2, it was directed that when.
ever the Norfolk and Western Rail
road Company, should pay to the
Board Of Public Works the sum of
100000, the sum of ; 100, 900 should
be placed to the credit Of the pub
lie free school fund TO he expended
by the State Board Of Education
for purposes of public education at
the rate Of Sl00,00O per annum.
The payment Of 5000, 900 Was made
by the Norfolk and Western Rail
road Company, 10 the Board of
Public Works on January -, 1888,
and since that date $500, 900 Of the
SlO0, 600 set aside for that purpose
have been expended for public ed
ucation. Nou Will observe that the
remaining Sl0O,O0O of this fund can
not be expended until after Janua-
ry -, 1856
And why cannot this sum be cx.
pended Because Of Auditor Ma
rye's adverse construction and
wrong construction of the act. 1t
conieSses to having kept 500, 900
Of this money from the schools for
1850, although 100000 a year
has heretofore been paid to the
schools for each of the years of
1852, 1888 and 1851. But he de
clincs to pay 100000 per annum
for the wear 1850.
Why? TO make q show dnring
this campaign Of money in the
Treasury, at the expense Of the
schools.
If Auditor Maryc wants to see
how hc has diverted the school
money, let him make ont his est
mate for schools this year in due
time, and pay it, or direct treaSur-
ers to retain all taxes in their hands
till the estimate is satisfied. Then
let him pay to the schools, at once,
all arrears due in fines, &c, and
under the GrandstaT act, the At.
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio money
act, &c, deducting these with 9th.
er current expenditures from his
show money in the Treasury. How
much will he. in case, report as
cash on hand January /, 1856, when
he vacates to make way for his Re
public successor:
-
Yes: S300,0OO ofthc school funds
of lSSl-'Sj are " diverted " to make
a show till after the election. But
the thing will show for itself on the
lst Of January, 1856. unless a fresh
diversion hide it!
y letter to the Wing from Abe
marie says:
" Right here, not many miles
from Massey's home, am told by
old Democrats that they intend to
scratch Massey and vote for Wood.
The ticket Of the Bourbons does
not enthuse worth a cent. There is
great dissatisfaction at the lcgisla-
tive ticket for this county. Jim
Hill was badly beaten, and the old
soldier element here is cursing the
Convention loudly.
Over 100000 Of the School
Money for 1885 has been "divert-
ed" from the schools to make a
false show in the State Treasury
for B0urbonism
-
Auditor Maryc, the poor school.
teachers Of this Commonwealth,
whom you have forced to sacri-
fee their school warrants TO shame
full shaves, abjnrgate your eXplana-
tons and your subterluges with
curses not loud, but deep.
Auditor Maryc, and his coluSivc
treasurers rob the Paul of 1856 to
pay the Peter of lSSl'j. But it
will not do. The show will break |
down at some point in the game,
as it is quite impossible to push |

next year, or to pay two years |
school dues out Of the taxes collect
ed in any one year.
