Nortou'tt 11<*j?Iy to the (irauil .1 urj Committee To the Editor of IIohky IIkkaid: 1 wrlto In reply to the artlele in your i sue of the 4th inst. signed by N. K. Hard wick, Cteo. M. Johns >n and J. ('. llrynnb These gentlemen us members of a Committee appointed by the Grind Jury at it I Man. h term, 'DC, to investigate the eondi lions of the Treasurer's OHice in llorry have seen (it after four months delihnra lion to reply to the question raised by ine In your paper for Nov. Gth, '00. 'Cheques lion raised was: Did this (irand Jury Committee of Investigation earn the money paid it for their alleged investigation? I remember to have intimated at that time ilint they ilnl not. unci it is on Account of such intimation that these gentlemen huve leveled the p war of their several signa lures upon me. 1 feel compelled to take exceptions to some of their long promised corrections of some mistakes of mine, that these gentlemen please themselves in making while going over the history o| this famous investigation, The pleadings of thin Committee on the question of its earning Its \vng< se in to he rested upon these four propositions, which cover as much as I can understand | of its statement of March 1th. 1st. I>r. Morton had not the time and .!. 0. Norton had not the ability to make figures that would aid it in any way, and therefore it had to gather the figures up itself, using Mr. Norton as a clerk to taintlate them. 2nd. It paid Mr. Norton $2.50 per day for |four days| work he did for it. flrd. Mr. Norton, "by a stroke of ids own pen" changed the final presentment of the Orund Jury, thereby | erverting the meaning of a part of it to his own advantage and 4th, in its ow n words, "We have no intention to hurt or damage Mr. J. O. Norton politically or otherwise and hope it ha; not been done, though lie went for us <is trr. irt / ? block/it ads/iiul iynnrnntUft *." blockhead i and Ignoramuses! if they confess it now, who blame Mr. Norton for going for tliein? This Committe, it may be noticed, disclaims any intention of hurting Mr. Nor ton. Now, If accusing Mr. Norton of in capacity in a responsible phic , of I rand in changing a (hand .1 nr \'s report, be a pr<?< lamation of intention not to hurl Mr. Nor on politically or otherwise, we can but agree that such proclamation was correct ly closed, "as we were blockheads and i iuiiiiiiu3i;?< iiimc.ui in niiiicsMU!! 1' themselves, il they had proved me t?? Iu.n been a blockhead ami ignoramu in li : ' ures, they would have come nearer pim ingthut limy earned tin' hundred ami dd dollars limy go! for supposed It urine. l?ut showing how they skinned nu> in a trade, and ut i lising nm of fnnid, doe not show that they are entitled to money they did not earn. I have no complaints to make to the people of 1 lorry bet an e 1 1 have been made in this investigation a j general utility man, whose work has been appropriated by others, ant mployeewith out Ids wages; a forced witness, whoso confidence has been abused. I speak to the people ot 1 lorry in the interest of truth, which, when crushed to earth, shall always Inula weak but willing pen to at t< nipt its revival. 1 am told and tlm people of 1 lorry are told by tlnse Committeemen that I "had figured a great deal but had no figures that would aid them ia anyway;" and that I "made up reports from their tlgures anil corrections." II they mean that I did not ' aid them in arriving at the truth in this in vestigation, it if necessary to correct such false statement. Four months time seems to have obscured mil h in the convenient memories of these gentlemen. If i is necessary to the peace of mind of these gentlemen that they believe they earned this hundred and odd dollars, 1 certainly have no objection in the world to their be licving it - but I must insist that what they appear t<> conveniently remember be not foisted oil' on the people of ]lorry as the truth. I tun sorry t ? disagree so llatly with genI ilemen, but a scrupulous recollection com I pels me to say that 1 am responsible for every figure made in the investigation of I charges and disbursements of County and school taxes in I lorry for the 11 seal years I'SU-UO, '00-1,'DI-2,'U3-3. t>3-4; that i limited every necessary abstract for charges eel vouchers for credits of those years helore the Grand Jurv Conintiit.u* hi?ir-i.? thi'ir so culled investigation. 1 hud tin-ettb-ment sheets already made out when tin Committee met t<i begin their work. I put those figures before them, and alter a perfunctory examination of one. item among the charges and two or three among the credits for maybe a year or two, they accepted in fuil my statement of the fiscal conditous ot the t t unty as of November 1, 1804. Further than this date 1 had no authority to go. I did not think that tin* assistant to the Comptroller General's agent or that agent himself had the rigid o demand, on an investigation such wo were making, th" vouchers which had not been passed on by the oliieers whose duty it was to examine them at settlements. The settlement lor the taxes of '{)'! J)/} was delayed in Horry for the same reason that they were in all the Counties of the State ?by the inauguration by the juesent Comptroller General of a more complete and sufficient system of original records. It was in Horry, by the way, that the lirst settlement in the State for the taxes of '016 was made. The settlement for the , taxes of '04-05 were to be based upon the results of the examination by the Comptroller's agent and as it was necessary un , der the law for this settlement between the f Auditor and Treasurer to lie wlinnwnii n? " " " j I the Comptroller General, the Foreman of j ( the Grand .J ury, the Supervisor, and the t School ( ommissioner, i' was absolutely unnecessary for any investigations to at t tempt to forestall their settlement of the taxes of this year, or the findings as to the validity of vouchers, etc., by these witnesses. Now, the work that this Grand Jury ) Committee did was simply of that kind. ' After accepting u?y statement as to the IK ' nil conditions in lforry on which to batethe settlement of taxes of'1M theyci.lb d for tlie papers for tli it years work in both Auditor's and Treasurer's ollleos and pio- ft reeded to make up a ' utilenw'ut for that a y ar pri* r to the official M'jtl'?m?'nt. Now, s it was near to the close of the collection^ c of the taxes of '01 f> that the robbery oi s Mr. ling's <afe occurred. And, as it >va? ? probable that the timo set for holding the > primaries, in which Treasurer was to be 'I voted for, and the timed the delayed cifll ; i rial settlement would be close together, c it wa natural for investigating (fraud Ju | rors w ho were also candidates for the i Treasurer* olll "c to forestall tlie olllcial i settlement in order to carry before the ! dear people some exclusive campaign a tliundt r. Therefore, the ('ouimittee spent li their time making up a settlement l<>r the li taxes of *i?I ."?. It wns the figures for *i>t f> * that these Committeemen thought would n aid them in some way, and as it was not <1 in my sphere of duty to make these lig- J ures for them, they began gathering them it at two dollar* per day for themselves. As , , I hoy were somewhat out <>f practice in r making up tax settlements, I wrote down the llgures fi?r thein I was not then net i in! as the assistant to the (Comptroller f General's agent, I was acting, without 1, knowing it then, (for I had a wonderful t belief in the sanctity of evidence given to | Grand Jurymen even by public olllclals) t as the secretary of a Committee on Cam t paign Thunder. I. undoubtedly, made J out the statement used by Mr. Geo. M. i Johnson on the campaign, but was, of 1 course not responsible for its use. 1 even t tot J Mr. Johnson that the olllcial settle inent would probably chaugo bis figures. Such la ing the ease, 1 think it comes / with very ill grace from Mr. Geo. M. Johnson to .sign a statement saying that my figures did not aid him in any way* \\ liile he intended to be aided very protaably, 1 was entirely innocent if it was hi> I figure that hurt Idle, aud I sincerely hope that t.gentleman does not lay his defeat . i h/ at in\ door. It is not tor u.e to 1 mul e the statement point blank that Mr. '' Johnson, believing in the eflicacy of his figures to efTocl the removal of Mr. Long, i tried to fore tail a I .low Committeemen i j I?y ..tteiii| ting t > t t t ?tni| trdler Gen- j er.d's agent to use ' i-" influenee with tin In Coui|.troll, r Gen n! to have .Mr. Johnson I ' appointed Treiioiirer when Mr. Johnson's t tiguia -liouid 1 ree Mr. Long to r sign 1 Therefore I shall n ; assume that stair. 1 menl, hut leave the intiuiation for denial <<r explanation an.1 also t . give evidence of the statu of mind of at least ono of tin in\? -tigators w 1 ithe investigation wn- p going on. I f I here had been in> Committee up pointed and the tax department left to conduct the invest "gat ion, then the result would luive I precisely as i' Ih uow.

And it lh"\ think this i > not so, they show thein-elve.- sullleiently ignorant of the hi. parity of the tax department of tlie State to l>e entirely until lor the work they were given to do. In other words, they either know that they were unnecessary factors in the gathering of evidence in this matter i and w re working for personal advan age l in the race lor Treasurer, or they know too little of tho sudlelency cf the t;i\ do I partmctit to right itself to tie investigating such matters. i' Is not absolutely necessary to this ar i! tiele, but I may u.< well explain further. I I'he Conimittee paid me for four days ^ work at ijtv.O'J per day, spent in preparing p work for tho Court, entirely forgetting ( the days I had before been employed by j| them I must confess I was skinned pret $ ty thoroughly in that trade, but 1 have no a complaints to make to the people of llor- g rv and have made none. g The most serious part of this Commit 0 tee's article to me is contained in the fol- f lowing words: "by the stroke of his own 1' pen destroys that (a certain acknow ledge- C nient) and makes us say that we received i valuable aid from I>r. Norton." Kven 1 the.-e gentlemen dared not make it plain f that they meant to uncus mo of chang- < ii g without authority tho meaning ,.| a i part of a Grand Jury's fin..' ?re> ntu nt.

F.. liar 1 viek si., ted toil for it was lie who instructed me to make the i hunge. These woro tlio cir cumstauces. Just before the final presentment was read, 8tea > r';?lier Covington, who wrote tho filial presentment for the Grand Jniy, called me to his desk and a ked me to suggest to the Foreman if it wouldn't he well to eli ui 'e the name "J, O. Norton," appearing in one place in the presentment, to "Dr. IN Norton," in oidei to make the pr - ntineut harmonize in word a- it did in fact, with tin* instructions ! of th - Grand Jury at the March Term, w hi li w ere for the Committee it appointed to obtain the help of the Comptroller General's agent in making llleh* investigation. As 1 w as acting so far as the real * scopo of tho investigation was concerned for Dr. K. No ton, the Comptroller General's agent, only as to County and School taxes, such statement would be tho* correct one. On explaining the matter to Mr. ilanlwick, Foreman, lie instructed me to make the change. As well as I remember, the Comtnitteo consulted at the time iii-whispcrs about the matter, but 1 received no further instructions. The whole Grand Jury heard tho paper read with Dr. Norton's name appearing where nine had inadvertently been placed, and is neither Mr. Ilardwick, Mr. Johnson, mr Mr. Ilryant attempted to make any sorrection, 1 supposi d they understood md appreciated the reasons for making lie change. Mr. Dry ml lias made an intimation of his clisrge before, I think, in his article utile 1Ikkm.ii of Nov. 12, '1)0. 1 have vritten him privately since that time, givn him tho truth of the matter and npie ling t > him to satisfy himself as to my tut. iiu tils and then as publicly withdraw his asj.i rsloti upon niy character as ho i;.d made it.
