to make requisition for the amount due
for refund of the direct taxes The ac-
counting officers of the treasury will
honor the draft and in very short time
the Empire State will have Sc. $50, 600 at

rected to follow, and in a short time the
d partment will be very busy paying
ont money upon certihcation accounts

that in lefunding the S15,l0l.0. 0.
or thereabouts, which We're col
lected under the act of Aug
ust, 1861, the department should
pay no attention to indi iduals but
should pay directly back to the governors

ted by them had been verified. 1t is also
rovided that the Sums paid to the
states shall be held in trust for the
original taxpayers or their heirs or as
signs and paid to them only ON the sub
mission Of satisfactory proof of identi-
ty. Thus the government has nothing
to do with the matter of searching for
proof 1t will have no dealings with the
people, except indirectly. AS the collec-
tion of this tax was originally made
through the agents of the internal reve-
nue. bureau and the accounts are kept il
this Office, the commissioner of internal
revenue will have a hand III certifying
to the correctness Of the re .uisition,

of the searching eyes of the fifth audi

ing crew at Sandy Hook went out to the
