There is an envelope containing Confede-
rate scrip, deposited by Colonel Warner in

value, as the notes are made receivable for
parish Dues" and they suggest that they
be sent to the United States Treasurer at

their value. The Confederate States notes
in the package it is thought best to have
destroyed. So
There is package, deposited in April,
and containing State bonds to the amount
of nearly 100000. The committee state
that, it being understood that the Govern

taken to ascertain which of the securities
are of value, and to have sale made OF oil
such. They believe that some OF them can
be collected.
A package containing $24, 963 of the notes
of the "Bank of TomDeckbe," Ala. The
committee cannot ascertain whether these
notes possess any value, but think the fact
should be ascertained and the package dis
posed of.

should be SO held.
There is box containing notes OF the
survey Of the boundary between the Uni

recommend that the subject Of their reten-
ton be referred to the War Department.
The package containing coin to small
amount, and keys found in the safe OF E.

Treasury extension, who was defaulter !:
the committee recommend that the money
be deposited toreduce the deficit of rench,
and that the accompanying papers remain
with the Solicitor.
The package containing. interest-bearing
notes, stolen from Lieut.. JAS. Brunaugh in
~ Lotf - Il
warded to the United States Treasurer for

placed to the credit Of Lieut.. Brunaugh on
account of his deficit, for balance of subSlst-
ence, with the Third Auditor.
The envelope, containing large amount
of Virginia State stocks, captured from a

sale made thereof, and the proceeds placed

The package containing bonds issued on
account of the Pacific railroad by the State
of Missouri, and held in trust for the Otta-
wa Indians, and reverted to the United
States under the provisions of the treaty OF
1862 with said Indians, the committee think
ought to be sold, upon their proper value
being ascertained.
Concerning the South Carolina State
bonds issued on account Of the Blue Ridge
railroad, and deposited as captured pro-
perty, the committee say that it is under
stood that claim has been made on the
Department for them by bank in Charles
ton, and that the Solicitor Of the Treasury
has reported against said claim. If this de-
cision holds goud, it is recommended that
the bonds be sold and the proceeds placed
in the Treasury. The payment Of all past
due coupons can be secured, and from in
formation received it is believed these
bonds are now worth about eighty cents in
the dollar.
