dial Mr. Turner has bf as ignorant of
the terms and meaning nf the contract, ami
the mode of muasiiremeir. adopted, as if he
did not Isvlonj to the office, nor has hi'
made oat an account or received ir

printing. Mr. J. U. Koorc made the ron
trset ; Mr. i. W( Marrmw, the formmu,
incsnire.1 the work, and Mr. T. It. Hsiusay,

the motivy. I never knew or heard t
Mr. Tnrunr giving but one order in regard:
to the public printing, and lh.it was to

lo the slate piiiitiag there has loieii a din

urea of reform in every department of the

very generally taking ground against any

claimed that fraud and corruption seemed
Uibvhidikn in every branch of the ser

Mr. Rotiiit!!, of Rowsn, wa opprwed
to Mr. Love's substitute, a th
Bale of the state's property, a proposed,
would result in nothing. The mortgage
now resting apon th property
would place it beyond tha reach of all but
bondholders, who oould combine and get
possession of It for a mere song. II did
not think ui honest debtor acquitted, him
self ef his obligation to creditor when
he turned over to him worthies or depre

honor and credit in the futurs
