which he must have entirely overlooked, :,
his reGulsition cannot be complied with.
The order is returned.
Very respectfully,
CHAS A FIR ALLEY,
Acting Commissioner.
On the SOth of November, the Surveyor
made a similar requlsiton for $50, ,OOO
which was not received in New York
unit the 10th January: then forwarded
to Washington, and a reply not from the
acting Commissioner, but from the Com
missioner in Chief, returned to the 18th,
to the same purport as above, and with
concluding intination that such drafts
were not only made in direct violation of
acknowledged instructions, but without
reference to the state Of accounts between
the Surveyor and the Government. Nor
were these the only drafts drawn by Gov
ernment officers in California and trans
mltted by Palmer, Cook s. CO., when
both knew that the Government was
largely provided with means at their own
doors. The Exchange on the East was
worth 8 per cent. premium; but it was
scarcely the remote hope Of realizing this
profit on irregular and unauthorized paper
that induced its employment to cover an
account in New York.
Granting, in charity, that the political
Bankers were at first ignorant of the want
of authority with the officers of the Gov
ernment, and particularly their friend and
surety, the Surveyor General, it is quite
plain they were enlightened on the return
Of the steamer, of 9Th December, which
must have been about the 1st of January
They knew, therefore, at least a whole
month before they caused the foregoing
affcavits to be epared-before the Alta
California, at their instance, grossly
charged COLLISION and stock jobbing in
New York-before the Treasurer, on
their representation, wrote to Senator
Gwin, assuming the failure to be with
the American Exchange Bank, that these
drafts would all be protested and return
ed. 1t seems to have been deliberate
plan to seduce the Bank into an advance
of $50, 900 or $100, 900, or failing in this,
to cover defauIt 10 their Draft holders,
and to the Public Creditors, by show of
Indignation, and an erpa'te statement of
balances against their New York cores
pOndent.

Their power overthe above diseases is not ex-

cases after skilful physicians had failed.
These Bit:ers are worthy the attention of IN

exercising the most searching poyeers in weak
ness and affections OF the digestive organs, they
are, #ithal, safe, certain and pleasant.
