Under the act of March 3Oth, 1864, the
commissioners made q domestic loan of
| four hundred thousand dollars, the details
of which will be presented in their report.
Under Il c same act there have been
drawn upon the million appropriation
therein made, the following amounts:
| Pay, TRANSPORTATION and subsistence
of National Guard d.-.- ----.----- Sl39095 SO
Four batteries of artillery, horses
and harness. ss.--.,--------------- lO3,9lO 36
There is estimated to be due upon the
first of these items $57 ,457 10; which Will
increase the disbursements from that ap-
preparation to S300462 So.
AS elsewhere explained, the payments
for subsistence and transportation of the
guard have been assumed by the War De-
partment; aud the item of the pay of off
GERS between date of ofrendczyous and date OF
muster, is held under adviscment
The amount of Allotment Fund paid into
the Tre easury by pay.agents, during the
year, was $2,25l $50 46. Nearly half a
million has been added since the 18th of
November; and additional amounts are on
the way, which will swell the amount to
about three millions. One item which has
sweled this amount is the large payments
to substitutes and local bounties to recruits
which were not paid to the men until mus
tered in here, and forwarded to their reg
imonts. The amount collected at the bar
racks in this city, on this account has near.
ly equaled the whole amount Of collections
last year.
Owing to the constant moving of the
armies daring the summer campaign it
was mrracticable to pay the troops. The
payments were crowded into the fall
mouths, and tho pay agents were hard
pressed IN making collections; and, in many
cases, seriously, and, in some dangerously
delayed in making their returns. The
amount OF this fund in the Treasury on tho
18th Of November, was $753,6G5 "a; Of this,
the sum of S530,57l 50 was paid in be-
tween the list and 10Th of November; $l79,-
S93 30 Mas paid in during the month of
October, and the balance during the month
OF September.
The State Treasurer makes some sug.
gesliOns in his report, in regard to the
transmission of this fund to the counties,
which | commend to your early attention
In many cases tie amount allotted TO a couu-
ty is in excess OF the State revenues Ia the
hands of the County Treasurer. There is
no provision for payment of express char
ges IN remitting funds, or Tie expenses of
.he County Treasnrcrs IN coming TO the
Treasury for it, This is a sacred iund, aud
should not be held ar hour after it can bc
transmitted to the parties entitled TO re.
