Mr.. James E. Secor having seen 1T TO complain
of casual statement made by the Editor of tbs
paper in le,ter from Washington, propose opub-
Iish so much OF those accounts as are before me,
giving the prices charged by Mr.. 5. and others.


M. Secor instructed our Editor pro ten. to state
in MS behalf that ''McNuliy's orders were FOX ar
,cle5 OF the rery bes quality, for winch he was
charged only the market price" beg leave TO
difie. from him. Almost every body has seen the
envelopes OF the Speeches, Reports, Nc tissemina-
ted from Washington, winch presume is the iia:
cap paper 50 pfofusely furnished by Ny ;. and
ask every Judge OF paper TO say whether 81 9o d
ream would not be liberal price for that PaPeI IN
stead u the s. which Mr.. :. charges. 80 oi 'He
snc sized Medium which consider worm "a
but for which Mr.. 5. charges So 90 The eliow
Cartridge al So 75 seems to me equally eHoroi'an''
| suppose almost any body Is competent TO judss
whether 20 per thousand for Qullis, s. 10 tor Ruieo
Letter Paper, IS cents pound Tor Sperm Candies IN
large quantity, 81 30 per dozen boxes OF Match Ia
perz, etc are according TO Spater.


In MIR. Secor's accounts T7fnd charges amounting
10 $50 for cutting dorn go reams o. Cap Paper, al
25 cents ream. -Four cents a ream ls the Prlce
have paid for such work. and believe any good
hand would easily have earned tins Sl50l IN week.
How this paper should have continually needed
cutting down perplexe= ue. should have or
dered some made OF the right size after cutting
down the first lot.


But there Is another very serious consideration.
understand that the law directs the Clerk OF the
House to advertise publicly Tor proposals and give
out the furnishing by contract 10 the response
bic bidder II this law is old enough to take hold
of all these transactions, or with regard TO so many
as i, is old enough 10 reach the purchases are clear
ly VOID, and the Government every way entitled 10
sue for and recover back every penny beyond the
loves, price al which such articles could be pro-
cured Will the Committee OF Accounts OF the
House instruct our District Attorney how TO pro-
ceed in the premises?


My.Loco-Foco friends you must not ram your
arms into the Treasury with such intense voracIy.
It is ali offence against modesty and good morals.
aiiectonately advise you to break of your sins
by righteousness, and dlsgorge.


- Here follow the items Of the bills, as far as |
could procure them, charged 10 the United States
for Stationery, &C. furnished to Congress by order
of McNulty understand that there Is another
item of . 100 skins of Parchment at y cents EACH
when 90 cents would have been liberal price
But by whom this was furnished, did not learn.
