But my space oblges to ask you to the concluding
fhis at without

Your statement (beore inserted) copies the ssconcu-
sion" OF the "Loco's'' report. 1 wish you had made
room insert all of it. But that part shows that
although he defeated in bringing out all the facts be-
fore the people, about their money he had not been
@scOrnered' Remembering his own demand upon the
TREAsURER-but knowing that Mr.. Barringer's amend
ment had not allowed the COMMITTEES go beyond a
single report upon the sOLOency of the De6tOrs-Mr.
Barnes report says, Gas the resolutions annexed to
<'the referred to your Committee tnstrcts the Public
FIreasurer to report the Of the several De6tOrS
CSC Your Committee did not consider it their duty,
'sand have THEREFORE taken no list, sc. (see page
67I) You will pretend to deny that the Committee
took right view of their duty? Hthe Treasurer srang
led this inquiry, he did it without Mr. Barnes
renee Barnes did his duty and reminded the House
the Treasurers aso and might reasonably calculate
that where large majority of SO to IL 'really
iousss to be answered. the Public Treasurer would not
have been allowed to keep back the list upon trivial
grounds


Now tell you that these words occur most immed-
atey after your quotations. page GIL! What made
you omit them? Why did you nlate the report at the
beginning, and then suppress this part Of the record at
the close?


The Speaker laid before the House communication
