TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Feb. 10, 179

Treasury DEPARTMENT, Feb. 10, 1895
The Secretary ofthe Treasury has the homo
!. respectfully TO submit to the President Of th'
: United States certain documents, by which i
appears that John Muir, collector for the dlstric
of Vienna, in Maryland, has neglected his duty
in failing to collect, or to institute in season
suits for the recovery Of bonds for duties due tc
the United States.
The collector has moreover failed 10 pay Ger.
tain drafts drawn on him by the Treasurer o.
the United States, for moneys appearing, by re,
turns 10 the Treasury, TO be on hand; and in
this respects he is found to be i'll the same pre-
6cament as the collector Of New York and
| ITappahannock, who were Superseded.
! The Secretary is firmly of opinion that the
good of the public service requires that this offi-
Icer should be displaced; and, from inquiries
which he has made Of Mr.. Murray, ofthe House
o! Representatives, he is induced to believe that
James Frazier is fit character to succeed to
the office.
All which is respectfully submitted.
OLIVER WOLCOTT,
SecretaryofMe Treasury.
