SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. -, 1861.
A Chance for Improvemcnt.

A Chance for Improvement.
We learn from Mr.. Waterman, the new SUI
perintcndent of Indian Affairs for this district,
that change will be made in the mode of
disbursing Indian appropriations upon this
coast, so as to avoid the issue Of vouchers, as
has been the practice to greater or less ex
tent heretofore. We are glad Of this The
policy CT paying cash down for all purchases
made or services rendered, is the only safe and
economical one for the Government, and we
hope Mr.. Waterman will not, like his prede-
ccssor, be compelled to wait six or eight
months for remitances after they are due,
thus involving the necessity of issuing
"promises to pay" or the suspension of ope-
rat;ons of the service. 1t is disgrace to the
Indian Department that just and equitable
claims uponthe Government for goods fur
nished and services rendered two or three
years ago are still unpaid. Wcwould not be
understood as attaching blame to the former
Superintendent for these :uinous delays of
payment. They were incurred before he took
charge Of the Office, and the authority to audit
and pay them was expressly denied him and
transferred to Washington.
While we believe that Mr.. Hale's removal
was unjust, we are not disposed to quarrel
with the Department about it. since good
and efficient man has been appointed in his
place, but will aid the new Superintendent in
his efforts to reform the service. We hope
Mr.. Waterman will not be disappointed in
his expectation of receiving prompt remit
tances from Washington. Should they be
delayed six Or eight months, as has been the
case in several instances heretofore, he will be
obliged TO resort to the old system of issuing
promises to pay or suspend the operations
Of the service.
While the Secretary of the Interior is en-
gagged in improving the mode of disbursing
the Indian appropriations on this coast, we
hope he will devote little attention to the
mode of discussing the appropriations Of the
land department. We can perceive no good
reason why deputy surveyors should not be
paid for their work when it is completed and
approved by the Surveyor General, as was
tho practice under former Administrations,
instead Of being compelled to wait for it from
three to six months as they now do. If the
appropriations were placed at the disposal of
the Surveyors General upon this coast, it
would save to the deputies at least ten per
cent. on their contracts. The price per mile
has been reduced under this Administration
from sl2 to $s, while the expenses OF the
deputies have greatly increased. The eight
dollars per mile is now paid in paper, worth
Al cents on the dollar. Deduct from this the
ten per cent. loss, by unnecessary delay of
payment, and the deputy realizes less than
three dollars per mile in place Of twelve. as
formerly. We believe tho Government will
be disposed TO to save to them thu ten per
cent. when this can be done by applying the
same rule TO the lind department in the dis.
bursement of appropriations tina. is applied to
every other department Of the Government.
