He could assure them that the com- mittee was ready to proye all they had said. He denied that the committee had charged the directors with dishonesty, but they found that the books had been keptin a very loose man- her, and so reported. The directors had no cause to complain, for they had offered to read the report to the directors, and when they came to the office they were met by the ré- | mark, “You make your report and then de- fend tt.” sat. Kelley denied that such remark had been made, but the oth er members of the com- mittee substantiated Mr. Ryan." ‘Mr. Parker defen the action of the com- mittee, and said that errors had been f dal through the books, to which the secretary's at tention had been called, and he furnished a number of vouchers. but some of them were irregular. 7 Mr. King said it was true that the expert had found errors and asked if he had not also detected errors in the expert's calculation. On the Ist of January, 1875, mrey found that the siserepansy was $10,000, and did not know how to reconcile it, and when they came up to January, 1878, they found it was $16,000, and the expert, Mr. AtLee, said that they would boilit down. He (Mr. King) then told them of the bills payable, and it came out right. Mr.. Parker disclaimed that there was any intention td cast a retiection on Mr. King or the board of directors. Mr. Kelly moved that the report of the di- rectors be printed, and after some discussion Mr. Kelly withdrew his resolution of censure, and the resolution to print was adopted. ir. Hoffman took the floor and warmly de- fended the directors. To-day they were en- dorsers on the company’s notes Tor $22,000.
