babbling rills were unloosed from their fetters

months had worn a sombre hue. were dressed
in living green Far away from the din and
hustle OF the city, amid the waving trees and
the aroma of countless flowers, waiting on each
passing breeze delicious fragrance to the sense,
innumerable songs were going up from the
throats Of the woodland warblers to Him who
rules the Seasons, and gives the Winter and

books. The balance in the Treasury would be
then apparently diminished, though it actually
remained the same. Certificates issues under
these circumstances amounting to S775,0O, arc
now outstanding.
With all these resources at his command il is
not at all surprising that the late Treasurer
succded in concealing the dealcatiot
There was no obstacle to the use Of the mo-
ney Of the by Mr.. Breslin, nor was any effort
on his part necessary to conceal deficit. There
was no thorough examination of the Treasury
during his term of office, nor any inquiry into
the condition of its funds. The surplus in his
hands was seldom less than half million
The average balance on the 10th of November
of the four years Of his ADMINISTRATION, exceeded
S622.0O0. The following table exhibiting the
balance in the Treasury at that date, for the
last ten years, is not destitute of interest. 1t
shows that large surplus has been allowed to
accumulate.

The true condition Of the Bank however, is as
follows:

In this connection justice requires us to say
that these errors do not appear to have occurred
during the administration of Mr. Gibson but
belong either to that of Mr. Bliss or Mr.. Bres-

In November, 1854, the Canal Bank of Cleye-
land failed to redeem its circulation, and in pur-
suanco of the. provisions of the Banking Law,
under which it was Incorporated was placed in
the hands ola receiver. The stocks which were
on deposit in the Treasury for the security of
its circulation, amounting to $106, 1853, which
were sold by the Treasurer for the sum 6l
| $104,811 AZ.
The following abstracts ofthe accounts with
this bank, is another instance of the loose and
careless manner in which the business of this
Departmental of the Treasury har been conduc-
ted:

the true statement of this branch fthe account.

| The circulation of the Independent Banks
under the law of 1945, is entirely under the
control of the State Treasurer. 1t is based up
on certificates Of the funded debt of the State
and of the United States, which are required to
be deposited with, and transferred to him.
! Upon the deposit of these stocks, he delivers
notes OF circulation to an equal to the value OF
such stocks. He procures the blank notes of
the engrayer numbers and registers them, and
issues them to the dfferents banks as they are
required for circulation.
These certificates or stocks are the securities
of the bill holders. They are the basis on
which the credit of the bank is founded. The
bill holders look to these bonds, and to the
plighted faith of State which has neyer failed
to fulfill her promises and meet her engagements
for the redemption OF the paper of these banks.
The failure Of an Independent bank does not
affect the value of its notes. This neither rises
nor falls with corporate vciSsitude. 1t is found
ed on the laith of the State, and the State has
made itself the custodian of this credit.
This department should therefore be conduct
ed with the utmost strictness. Such checks
should be established as ould prevent the alb
straction of those bonds and the application of
ttem to private purposes. Every precaution
should be used to prevent the issue of paper
above the value of the stocks deposited The
account should be so kept and every official act
in relation to them so recorded and attested, as
to exhibit fair and full history of every tras-
action, detect any error and remove the shad-
ow OF suspicion or doubt.
Though there is no reason to think that this
department of the Treasury has not been Eek
cept in the case of the bonds of the Seneca
County Bank) fairly and honorably conducted,
yet that strictness has not been observed which
the law requires, and the public interests de-
mand. Blank notes have been destroyed with
out record having been made of their denom-
ination and amount, and the account with one
of the banks kept in so loose manner as to ex-
hibt very untrue statement Of its condition.
