The foregoing is an exact exhibit. It
was a simple busicesi transaction,
was in full charge and control; and no
one in this city was connected with the
matter or had anything whatever to do
with it either one wsy or the other,
except those who wr r pid the sums
sisli J ikbeve. The Treasury Depart
ment at Washington employed me; I
made i my reports to them' Jirtci; re
ceived communications and Instruc
tions from ; them ! dlrert, and was alone
responsibleto them; and no one here
bad any supervision, charge, or control.
even the mo t remote, over any actions
in any manner whatever. The estimates
for material, the prices, a , were sub
mitted 10 the D- r-irtxeal at Washing
ton. and tb -ce were approved and
at. t.risd: before any purchases were
made. Tb e bills and pay-rot Is were all
certified and certified by me to the De
partment at Washington, and paid by
checks made payable to those who for-
&isbed4 the material and to tbe em
ploy res. The checks were all terned
over , to the' proper parties at once. by
me. fa some iosUnces, as the psy
ments tof the laborers were monthly,
and they niaut d small ivdi weekly
to pay their bills and to support 'heir
fs"iHei, I advanced small aaoncti tn

peaasuoa er weertiy wbatcrer, and
when their check came baed
cabed them at Uetr fiewesl, -apoe
their cnctMment, and retained tbe
