will agree with the balance we have asoertained
TO be correct.
Mr. Sparrow in HE report, at page ii, states
the amount received by Mr. Breslin from Mr.
Bliss, TO be $296, ,433 Of, but this is merelya
formal statement from the books, and is no evi-
dence Of the amount actually paid. II 10 this
sum be added the s. sos Sc. "0hio Lunatis
Asylum Fund" heretofore mentioned as being
in the hands Of Mr.. Bliss, and with which he
was ehaFgeable, although not appearing upon the
books, il will make the amount 1902 ,23S 95
from which deduct for the New State House
Fund.-" erpayments $l23 0s, and the balance,
1902 lis Sc reported by the Senate Finance
Committee, as above stated, is obtained-shoW-
ing, therefore, that the amount stated BY Mr.
Sparrow, correcting the errors indicated, which
probably arose from these accounts not being
found upon the books,) was not the amount &C.
tually received, but the amount which should
have been paid. Thus, all the discrepancies
are reconciled, and the amount we have stated,
determined to be the amount which should have
been paid. "a
We cannot ascertain from any other sourcs
than Mr.. Brcslin's own statement, that the out
standing certificates amounted to $685., $50 81
II he can furnish any evidence OF the correct
ness Of that statement, it devolyes upon him to
do SO Neither can We ascertain from MIR. Bliss
or Mr.. Brealin, the parties interested more than
all others, in a satisfactory adjustment Of this
difference, In any other manner than from their
own statements, whether or not this sum was all
that was actually due from or paid by Mr.. Bliss.
Mr. Bliss swears he paid Mr.. Breslin about
$3.50 600 IN cash, and afterwards the amount of
his deficit, $65,0O0, together, ss he says. about
$500 ,000, but he has no memorandums or state
ment, or recollection of the kind of funds, nor Of
the exact amount, nor does he specify the source
from which he obtained them. Mr.. Rresin
states that everything he received of Mr.. Bliss,
was entered in memorandum book which 10 in
our possession, and which. with o email bank
account or memorandum book, in which Mr.
Bliss kept some bank accounts and cash memo
randums, alone contain any satisfactory evi-
dence cotemporsneaus with the transactions OF
the amount actually paid to Mr. BresliD, or the
kind of funds, or the sources from whence OBJ
tained,-thus supplying, to some extent, the de.
feet in Mr.. Bliss memory. Mr.. Bliss states,
there were memorandum or pass books used by
him and Mr.. Breslin at the time, in which the
moneys were entered as paid, but that his is lost
or mislaid. The book kept by Mr.. Breslin is 10
his own handwriting, and is probably the book
referred to by Mr.. Bliss. 1t was exhibited to
him during his examination, and he verified its
correctness as far as it went; but asserted that
subsequent payments were made not therein cred
ited and that it was not q full statement of all
he paid to Breslin. Why not then produce bis
own record proving this to be untrue

if it previously existed hut ths approaching ne
cessity Of accounting to his successor, precipita
ted development, that might otherwise as a
matter of convenience" have been Indefinitely
postponed.
We have adopted several methods Of deterfnin-
ing the amount due from Mr. Bliss 10 Mr.. Bres-
lin, all Of which produced substantially the same
result. The fact that no provision was made by
law for full and perfect adjustment of all ae-
counts, both in the Treasurer's and Auditors
offices, at the close Of the official term Of either
or both, has tended much, by the absence Of
proper checks, 10 produce the defaleation, and
now renders it exceedingly difficult to arrive at
satisfactory or truthful result The Auditor had
no official knowledge of the settlement by one
Treasurer with another. The accounts in his
Office were, in fact with the Treasurer of
State" although in form with the individual
Treasurer, and continued from one fiscal year to
another, intermediate balances by the Treasufers
not being recognized, and the accounts not Yeri
fed until the end Of the fiscal year.
In the general ledger of Mr.. Bliss, and of his
predecessor, Mr. Whitehill, cash account ("
was kept, to which was charged, and properly,
all moneys received into the Treasury, and to
which was credited all payments from it. A
careful examination of this account, to attest the
correctness of its balances, and determine the
liability of Mr. Bliss, shows the following re-

by the books, January 12, 1852 $552,937 81
This balance must be increased by an error in
General Revenue account, of $5l Of and de-
creased by an error in National Road Fund ac-
count, of 81 90, and one or two small errors,
making the actual balance of this aecou t, as
corrected, S552987 l9.
Mr. Bliss was enabled to make this large ap-
parent adyane, by moneys received by him from
the County Treasurers after the 18th of Novem-
Der, 1851, with which he had not been charged,
either upon his own, or the books of the Auditor
This balance was not, however, really the exact
lamount of the advances or over-payments by
Mr.. Bliss, but the amount as shown By his Cash
Account in his General Ledger There are two
accounts, one to the debit, and one to the credit
of Mr. Bliss, which do not appear on this ledger,
or any other; but upon small account book, the
Treasurer being disbursing agent only of the
fund, and account being kept separate from the
others. One of these accounts is for the Ohio
Lunatic Asylum Fund.-" of which there were in
the hands of the Treasurer, at the time referred
Ito So S05 SO which, deducted from the balance
above stated, leaves $547 ,l6I 81, as his over
payment; but the other account mentioned,
" New State House Fund" was overdrawn

corrected and actual balance to the credit of Mr.
Dnss, loP oVef-draits, on tile l2th OF january,
1852, when be went out of Office, of $547 30t 49,
| This balance is the same as ascertained and
reported in 1856, by the Senate Finance Commit
tee, Of which Mr.. Kelly was chairman, (see
Appendix to Senate Journal, p 56,) with the
exception Of the error Of $5I on in General Rev
enue soeount, and the other immateriaI errors
alluded to. s
| The report of the Joint Committee, of which
Mr.. Taylor was chairman, with the corrections
referred 10, fixes this amount as that to which
Mr.. Bliss was entitled to credit We cannot,
therefore, but feel assured of its entire correct
ness. We have been unable, after the most care.

it can be changed. By this, we do not wish to

These entries balance the account of that

the settlement with Mr.. Breslin.
"Subject to correction hereafter" implies sus !.
picion, and raises doubt as 10 the accuracy of
any settlement based upon accounts thus closed.
But the balance we have stated, being thus
determined as the correct credit TO which MIR.
Bliss was entitled in his settlement with Mr.
Breslin, the next question presented is, for what
should he be charged in that settlement We
can obtain no evidence that Mr.. Bliss should be
charged with any other moneys than tbose ,ie-
|ceiyed by him from the county treasurers, from
the 18th Of November, 1851, to the 10Th of jan
