said, do not know--but, as | have learned with
equal surprise and regret, from you and other au-
thentic Sources that he has pervcrsey retarded the
settlement thereof by Marshall Provost BY refusing
to designate those which had been paid for, from
such as we're still owing land tins made il my
duty TO act without further delay, and finally upon

TAP II: As preparatory step 10 the institution OF
suit upon his official bond, against himself and
his sureties, to coerce settlement of his accounts;
ard as preliminary . instructions which will be
given TO Marshall Rockwell, as soon as copy Of
his official bond is received, when an advance can
be made 10 him to pay for the services and supplies
specified in bills and abstracts which have been so
disallowed by me, but were allowed by the first
Auditor-upOn the surrender Of he scrip or certi-

by the last Treasury adjustment of Marshall
Hnganin's accounts, il appears that balance OF
1914 OF, is due from him TO the United States
That the sum oil former suspensions and disaliow-
ances, is S2033 26-that oi recent suspensions al
disaIlowances, is $751; 99--together, Ss,765 %;
but for what part of this sum he may fuinish pro.
per vouchers, 10 entile him 10 further credits, do
not know; as al present advised, think il will be
abont Sl,500, and probably more. for if he has
performed but the half part the promises Civ
en- By him to Obtain the alvance Of $1,000, which
was made to him in August last, there might be a
balance due to him from the United States.

That revision of all the accounts Of the Le-
gislative expenses of the Territory of Wisconsin.
rendered by its Fiscal Agents and Secretaries,
which were payable out Of the appropriations mnde
by Congress, and have been or should be adjusted
at the Treasury Of the United States-having been
found indispensably necessary before instructions
could be given, by which the present Secretary
could Distinguish such of said arrearages as may
still be so payable, from those which are not-and
consequently, before he could proceed with safety
TO himself to pay the fore, that revis-
ion was undertaken, and has been so nearly com
pleted, that il may and will be finished so soon as
the account of one of said Fiscal Agents. and Of an
early Secretary, shall be finally adjusted; as they
will be within few days at this Department, when
the asceItaineG amount of these arreaiages will be
remtted to the Secretary, with such instruc lion
shall be considered necessary and proper to reg
ulate his payments, with reference alike to the
convenience and right Of claimants, ard his own
safety a discussing officer.
The sum of those arrearages, which may be pay
able by him, has not been definitely ascertained
but it will probably exceed Twelve thousand Dol
lars.
In conclusion, need only say that whatsoever
can be done by the officers Of tins Department. ,a
effect a satisfactory, early, aud final settlement Of
such of the Aforesaid expenses o the Courts and Of
the Legislative Assembly of said Territory, as may
be payable by tine United States, viii be freely
and promptly performed, shall be found possible,
without absolutely neglectng other and equally
pressing claims upon the time and labor of those
officers
