correct, and regularyouchers filed in the Auditors
office for all moneys drawn from the Treasury.
With many of the accounts the amount paid
exceeds the appropriated, as reported by the
Auditor in his report to this honorable body which
is accounted for by the fact, that from 1861 till
1865 no appropriations were made and the neees-
sary expenses of the State government it appears,
were paid by the Auditor, by direction of military
Governor Shepley, and Hahn, without appropria-
tons which action was approved by the Iegisla.
