Wc believe the statement, as ab »ve Set forth,

Your Committee would further state that
they have used every means within their pow
er to acconq lish the object to which they were
appointed, yet. owing to the many obstacles
that have from time to time been thrown in
their way by discouraging parties, and there
by preventing them from making bids for any
portion of the county buildings, and the fur
ther effort that has from time to time been
made by crying down, and refusing to r- reive,
county orders, and various other obstaclesthr.t
have been placed in the way for the express"
purpose of preventing the erection of said
buildings, yet. not withstanding all this, your
committee were untiring in their efforts in
the desire to carry out the object for which
they were appointed, yet, in the face of all
this, they would have succeeded, and l>v tins
time would have had the buildings in such an
advanced state as to have been i;s< d by the of
ficers and for court purposes, had not the
Chairman and Clerk been restrained by in
jtineti in from the issuing of further county
orders.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

The i t . d Treasurer, J. 11. South
wick. in sin rendering his office to his sue

11. I*. Ames in reporting to tiie Boai-I
j his own account, reported also that of
j his. predecessor, as it involved a few
months <-f tire current years’ transaction.
It became the duty therefore of your
committee to investigate that account of
Mr. Southwick. Finding, after a con
siderabie examination, they were liable
to do Mr. Southwick injustice in the
premises in consequence of his absence,
and the need of tho committee of ex
planations that no one but the cx-Trens
! urcr couVl satisfactorily make to then ,
your committee have concluded to make ,
i no other report than the foregoing in j

| Your committee have examined with j
; considerable particularity the accounts
a <1 hooks in tin* office, together with ■
the vouchers of H. P. Ames, and fin-1
! t!i < j m all satisfactory. Unimportant er- j
j rors were alone detected, and these were
