this Office I continued to pay the accruing
interest on the public debt through the said
bank up to and including the twenty fourth
instalment due and payable January, 1858.
Bat as the transfer agency had been
changed, and NJ. Ketchum, Esq, appointed
transfer agent, and as it seemed desirable to
have the transfer and interest agencies con-
nected, or the business of both attended to
by the same house or firm, | arranged with

disburSe the interest funds for the twenty
fifth instrument of interest due and payable
july. 1853. who are still acting as agents OF
the State for the payment Of interest on the
