[A.] STATEMENT showing the differences between the claims of Benjaman and the allowances of the Committee on

Singerly, printer for the Convention, in his first account, (May 15, 1873,) Accounts and Expenditures of the Convention.

No. 1.......

ALLOWED BY THE COMMITTEE.

[This delay in waiting for proof, so far as made
known to your committee, was not by authority
of the Convention, or any of its committees, and
was in direct contravention of the positive reso-
lution of the Convention, that its Debates should
be furnished the day after their delivery.]

[There was nothing before the committee to show
that these forms were cancelled for the fault, or
by the order, of any other person than the prin-
ter himself.]

[This is an expense for which the Convention can-
not be justly held responsible; and can only be
regarded as a matter of private arrangement
and agreement between the printer and such
delegates as he may have accommodated by this
extra care.]
