The only irregularity discovered eos
been the loss of paper in the Printing
Bureau, which if printed amounted to
S25, 800, and not $500, 0O0, 900 as has been
charged. This was traced into the hands
of the bronzer, but it does not appear
to have ever reached the printer. Large
amounts of paper which had been bronz-
ed were afterward thrown aside for vari-
Gus causes, and not used for printing;
but these amounts were regularly check
ed, except the one parcel alluded to
above. What became of this particular
lot has not been satisfactorily shown.
Ifnever printed there was no issue, as it
was not money until printed. There is
no doubt that this lot of bronzed sheets
passed into the mass of spoiled paper as
worthless. In aquiet way, Mr.. McCul-
loch has redeemed in very short period,
at least one hundred and fifty millions
certificates Of Indebtedness, over one
hundred millions compound-interest
notes, and over one hundred millions
