1876.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 81
The question recurring upon the amendment submitted by
Mr. Whitelock on Thursday last,
Mr. McGlone submitted the following amendment :
WHEREAS, Charges have been heretofore made by the Re-
publican Press of the State, that, the officials of the State
having in charge the public moneys in this State, had abused
their trust for purposes of private gaip.
Therefore ordered, That the Joint Standing Committee of
the Senate and House of Delegates appointed under Article
3, Section 24 of the Constitution, be and they are hereby re-
quired to examine into the affairs of the Treasury Depirt-
ment, and ascertain whether any officers thereof have at any
time since 1865, loaned or deposited any of the money of the
State for any consideration whatever, and it for any conside-
ration, what such consideration was, and with and by whom
made, and whether the same has been paid, and by and to
whom.
And be it further ordered, That said Committee also inquire
whether the charges made in the Republican Press during
the past campaign, that a public officer of this State at-
tempted heretofore to procure the passage of a law to provide
a pension for a man from Somerset county, who was not enti-
tled thereto, is true or false.
And be it further ordered. That they shall also examine into
and fully and searchingly enquire into the accounts and dis-
bursements of the Treasury Department, and the various
departments and officers doing business therewith, and as-
certain whether the expenditures and disbursements of said
officers and departments have been made in, conformity with
law.
Which was read.
