lefter .f,sm The late Secretary of tie
7reG/ay Of the 22d Of Nevsm1f, i'm,
E.PORT,
Fiyf-n relation to The general Rate Of
1be department, 0natbe made of AHsa-
ing THE 6zEns/s tbeyeef:
ON the zad day of May, in the year
1894, report was made to the Houie of
Representatives by committee appointed
to exam:ne the fate ct the Trcafury ::
in which the manner Of conducting the
buline.s of the department., was detailed
with great accuracy, the duties Of the
various officers and their mutual checks
upon each other, explained: and the rules
and proceedings obierved in the collection,
keeping, and diiburlensent of the public
monies, and in accounting for the fame,
defcribed with minute precifion. It does
not appear that any objection has ever been
made to the forms Of doing buGnels fpeci-
he'd III that report, or that the committee,
after mott ample and elaborate inve1i-
cation of the regulations adopted in the
department, entertained doubts of the Judi
cious and competent nature of the arrange
mcnt and diitribution of the powers and
duties of the officers. The attention of
the prelcnt committee was, in the Grf in
Rance, occupied in comparing the preient
forms of proceeding at the treafury, with
thoie heretofore exhibited and upon
careful examination, they are Etisfed that
while the principles of that fyAem have
been maintained and matured, clole ad-
herence to eitablilhed ufage has been ob
ierved; and that the department itfelf is
70 organized by law, and the mode ofdo-
ing the buinefs is 70 devifed, as to afford
the mott perfect fecurity to the nation,
from the Multiplication of the public mo-
MES.
Thefe monies do not, in any infance
pats through the hands Of the Secretary of
the Treafury; he merely authorizes the re-
ceipts and difburfements, by warrants in
favor of and upon the I'reafurer: Tlefe
warrants are all Ggned by the Secretary
counterfgned by the Comptroller, and re-
Offered by the Regifer. The Treafurer
is the medium Of the receipts and diiburfe-
ments of the public monies. 1hofe who
collect thefe monies can only difcharee
themfelves by warrants in favor Of the trea-
furer. The trealurer can only obtain Gre
dit for payments from the treafury, by
warrants on himfelf. All monies received
by the treafurer, are depoGted by him in
the bank Of the United States, and other
banks; and the actual amount of monies
in the cuifody of the treaiurer, may be at
any time afcertained, independently of his
own returns, by the fatements which are
confantly made and tranGnitted to theie-
cretary, by thoGe who collect and receive
public monies into their cuftody, in the
different parts Of the union. His accounts
mutt be rendered quarterly, and oftener Il
required, to the comptroller, and annually
to Congress.

.S'efonaly-ix relation to receipts and ex-

the treafury, Immediately after the cloie
OF each feii,on of Congrefs, to enter in b.olS
Kept tor that purpoie in the Office of the
iecretary, the various objects for which.
appropriations OF money have been made by
law, and to credit each hand with the whole
amount OF the fums appropriated to It.
he tame proceeding is obferved in ,'.- Of
hces OF. the Comptroller and ResiRer. No
dilburieinents are made by the the treafury
but;in purluance OF laws authorizing the
expence and all warrants for the ditburie-
~hent of monies are forthwith entered %
the debit Of their reflective heads Of ap-
preparation. Thele books are open to Tie
daily inipcct;on and reviiion Of the officers
OF the department; and by means thereof,
the expenditures may be promptly COM
pared with the appropriations. In no in
hance does it appear to the committee, that
the expenditures have exceeded the legal
appropriations. They have not however
prefumed it to be within the meaning O.
their inftrustions, that they ihould exhi-'
bit detailed itatement Of the receipts and
expenditures at the Treafury: For tlleic
they refer to the annual and other periodi-
cal fatements which are enjoined by law,
and which have been regularly fubmitted
to Congress !; and ESPECIALLY to report of
the committee of the houle of reprcienta-
tives, of the Sth of May LAT in which
the FUN total Of the receipts and expedi-
lures Of the prcfent government, from its
commencement to the end Of tie year
1899, is exhibited at one view.
BY the contribution of the trcafury de-
partment, the Secretary Experiments the
collection Of the revenue, and grants all
warrants for monies iHaed from the trea-
fury in purfuance Of appropriations made by
law; but he is not reipontible for the ap
plication Of monies inued from tie trea-
fury for the uie OF the other departments,
When, Tor example, appropriations are
made for the departments Of itate, Of war,
or OF the navy, the iecretary Of the trea-
fury, as ALTO the comptroller, are bound to
prevent the advances from exceeding the
appropriations. The diiburleinents ard ap
plication ofthe monies 70 advanced, to the
