: treasury as a depository for the public
X monies, which public treasury, evidently
could not have been intended or under

: of the utmost importance for facilitating The
II operations Of the government that all TIT
fisca agents employed in the collection
!. fe-keeping aud disbursements of TIT
5. public moneys, should be entirely unde
|. the control Of the government, and b.
he Id strictly responsible 10 it, for the cor
rec, and faithful discharge Of their duties
under such penalties as Congress shall b.
law prescribe.
It WHEREAS banks, incorporated BY tn
States are not thus under the control OF
d nor responsible to the general government
