You should have deducted 30k2,000, which wa?, at least, the cost of the work ia Tennessoe. It may be more, but from an examination of the book 1 am sure it is not less than that sum.? The difference of what you do deduct from the cost, of the road in South Carolina and Georgia, and the actual cost, which should be deducted is ?130.000. This is another overcharge in your statement. Your innrlo nf nfluiniinr lli? nr.ct nf il.n road in Tennessee cannot he passed with out remark. You sny the Treasurer's roport does not stme tho amount. But you assume two thirds of ?2o0,000, the County ! and individual subscription in Tennessee, which is $1GG,6GC, to bt? tho cost of the work in Tennessee. TheReDorts would have shown you that,- in order to comply with the conditions of tlie Tennessee charter and of the Art granting State aid, sev* en teen miles of the road out from Knox? ville had been nearly finished. You might have seen in the Report of 1856, Col. Gwy no's estimate of the cost of the grading in Tennessee t?> le ?757,000 and of the whole roftd-in Tennessee ?1.537,000, and also that tho section of seventeen miles, which was nearly completed, while it is only thirty per cent, of the length df tho road, is estimated to cost for tu-one ner i;ent. of tho entire coat. Forty one per cent, of tho would be S310,000.;? If you bad useu'those Reports, you might have made n nearer estimate thnn you have done. When to ?>242,000, the amount of overcharges, before staled, are added $149,000 uid 5130,000, they exhibit nn aggregate of errors and overcharges of ?527,000 in >our statement of 000,0(00 as the'excess of i uoit over the estimate (for South Carolina ?nd Georjjia,) up to December 1859.' tp r?,.i ri. - - ?> uvi.
