Wheu ‘the clahin Is valld or certain to bo pald, theso certificates can Le negotiated, It was upon the auesllun of the negiation of the Johnson certliicates that the above proof of Gov. Tilden's most extraordinary action In this ense was Lrought out, These facts then appear: First, Gov, Tilden gives the Joknson contract as oneaf “the Ten most Hagrant specimens of the canal _frauds | eccond, he shows ~ (hat thres limes as much 'money have bem allowed on it as the contract price; hird, he then permits a bl 10 becomie @ law which provides jor paying $55,000 on (his smne work, ~So much is a part of tle ublic oflicial record.
