TREASURY DEPARTMENT, December o, 1870. S I R : The financial condition of the country has improved during the past 5'ear. The average rate of gold for the year 1869, as shown by weekly sales, was 32.9 per centuin premium, and for the first eleven months of the year 1870, 15.2 per centum premium, indicating an improvement in the value of the paper currency of about 17 per centum. From the 1st day of July, 1869, to the 30th of June, 1870, inclusive, the public debt, as shown by the warrant account, was reduced in the sum of $101,601,916 88. Froai the 1st day of December, 1869, to the 30th day of ISTovember, 1870, inclusive, the reduction was $119,251,240 58, as shown by the monthly statements of the public debt, and the total reduction, from the 1st of March, 1869, to the 1st of December, 1870; was $191,154,765 36. The consequent reduc» tion in the interest account is at the rate of more than ten millions of dollars per annum. The receipts for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, were as follows: From customs : $194, 538, 374 44 From internal revenue , 185,128, 859 37 From sales of public lands 3,350,481 70 From miscellaneous sources 28, 237, 762 06 411,255,477 63 The expenditures for the same period were: For civil and miscellaneous purposes For War Department For Navy Department For Indians and pensions . .

In estimating the expenditures for the next fiscal year, I have included the sum of $24,500,000, i)roperly chargeable to the current revenue as an appropriation under the acts of February 25,1862, and July 14,1870, relating to the sinking fund. Although the language employed in those acts is not the language commonly used in appropriation bills, it still has the force and effect of a permanent appropriation, i therefore so treat ito REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. V There will be required also the sum of $4,866,933, being the amount answering to the interest on the capital of the sinking fund as represented upon the books of the Department. This sum I have included in the estimate of expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1872. Upon this basis I submit the following estimate of receipts and expenditures for the next fiscal year: Estimated receipts and expenditures for the year ending June 30, 1872. RECEIPTS.

An analysis of the expenditures develops facts tending to sustain the opinion that the balance will be considerably larger than appears from the foregoing estimates. The sum of $22,338,278 37 is the estimate for public works. The appropriations for these objects for the present year are less than $12,000,000, and it is reasonable to presume that the appropriations for the next year will not much exceed that amount. I t is believed, also, that the estimates made by the several Departments, for the different branches of the public service, are for the maximum amounts which will be required under any circumstances. I f VI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. such is the case, there will remain on the 30th of June, 1872, unexpended balances to be covered into the treasury. I t may, therefore, be reasonably anticipated that the total reduction of the public debt during the next fiscal year, including payments on account of the sinking fund, will be about fifty millions of dollars. It is a noticeable fact that the estimated expenditures for the next fiscal year, including payments on account of the sinking fund, and for the interest on the public debt, are so nearly equal to the receipts as to justify and demand the greatest caution in dealing with the revenues and business of the country. I t is apparent that a disaster, or even a serious check to business, would reduce the revenues below our necessary expenditures. I t is apparent, also, t h a t the prosperous condition-of the country is largely due to the revenue system inaugurated during the war, by which manufactures and the mechanic arts have been extended aud^established. This policy cannot now be rashly abandoned, or suddenly and radically changed, without great injury to business and labor, and serious consequent losses of revenue. The war in Europe has rendered it impracticable to refund the national debt, as authorized by the act approved July 14, 1870. A portion ofthe paper-has been manufactured, and the preparation ofthe plates lias been so far advanced that whenever a favorable opportunity arises the loan may be off'ered and the bonds delivered without delay. Inasmuch as the war in Europe, and the consequent demand for money, made it doubtful whether the four and the four and a half per cent, bonds will be taken, it seems to me wise to authorize the issue of three hundred millions additional of bonds bearing interest at the rate of five per cent. The interest can be paid quarterly without inconvenience, and I therefore respectfully recommend that the loan act be so modified that the payment of interest may be made quarterly instead of semi:annually. Should these recommendations be approved by Congress, it is of great importance that an act authorizing the changes be passed without delay. Since the 1st of July the currency balance in the treasury has been unusually, and, for immediate purposes, unnecessarily large. The act of July 12, 1870, authorizing an increase of national banknotes, imposed uponthe Secretary of the Treasury the duty of providing for the redemption of equal amounts of three per cent, certificates. The certain though prospective decrease in the revenues, both of coin and curreucy, made it my duty to reserve a sum sufficient to enable the Department to comply with thelaw without resorting to extraordinary means. Happily, the financial condition of the country has not been unfavorably affected by the accumulations in the treasury. During the year ending September 30, 1870, the national banks paid in interest the sum of $6,486,172 66, It is estimated that of this sum two millions were paid to private parties. I cannot doubt that the prac EEPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. VII tice of paying interest, except upon balances due from one bank to another, is a means by which large amounts of capital are diverted from the extreme xiortions of the country to the commercial and financial centers, to the injury of business generally. The province of a bank is to lend money, and its proper duty is, by loans and discounts, to facilitate and develop business in the neighborhood of its location. As a matter of fact, under the present system, banks are agencies by which capital is gathered in and sent away to distant cities, there to be loaned on call and used for speculative purposes. Complaints are made from all parts of the country that the bills of the national banks are worn and defaced to such an extent as to be no longer fit for circulation. As many new banks are soon to be organized under the law of the last session of CongTess, I respectfully recommend that an appropriation be made and authority given for the issue of new bills, upon such paper and in such form as may be designated by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Comptroller of the Currency, in his report for 1869, recommended the establishment of an agency in the city of New York, under the control of the national banks, for the redemption of their issues. The substance of this recommendation seems to me not only proper but necessary. The expense should be borne by the banks. ^^ Coupled with these recommendations, I take this occasion to say that the banking system of the country appears to be well managed, and to answer reasonably the purposes for which it was established. It is no doubt true that treasury notes representing an equal amount of the public debt without interest are the most economical circulation for the Government. But it should be considered that the banking institu-^ ' tions of the country are agencies by which business is established and fostered. Upon the whole, the system of banking should be extended only for the purpose of meeting the demai d i of business; but when the demands are urgent the concession should be made, upon the ground that the prosperity of business is more important than the mere saving of interest arising from the circulation of treasury notes. Excluding re-deposits, the amount of gold and silver deposited at the Mint and its several branches, during the last fiscal year, was $30,408,788 10; the coinage for the year was $24,636,011 / and the value of gold and silver bars stamped was $8,748,852 91. I respectfully ask the attention of Congress to the bill prepared iu this Department and submitted at the last session, and to the accompanying report, relative to the mints and the coinage system of the country. The bill was prepared with care, and it has since been submitted to the criticism of a large number of practical and scientific men, whose views have been published by authority of Congress. During the year the several branch mints and assay offices have been visited and examined by Mr. Knox and Dr. Lindermann. The vm REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. assay officGf at Boise City, Idaho, is nearly completed, audit will require a small appropriation for the commencement of business. Provision should be made for the redemption of the bronze and other tokens issued by the Government. The report of the Commissioner of Mining Statistics for the year 1869 has been printed since the close of the session in July last, and that for the year 1870 will be made during the winter. The continuance of the work appears to be a matter of national importance. The proportion of American vessels engaged in foreign trade has not increased relatively during the year, although there has been an actual increase in the entries of American vessels at the ports of the United States, amounting, in the aggregate, to about 130,000 tons. The total tonnage engaged in the foreign trade entered at all of the ports of the United States has increased from 5,583,000 tons in 1869, to 5,957,000 tons in 1870, but the proportion of American tonnage remains as in 1869 at 36 per cent. .Without undertaking to specify the means by which it is to be accomplished, I cannot overstate the importance of such legislation as will secure the revival of American commerce. The report of the Light-House Board sets forth in detail the difficulties which have arisen in that branch of the public service fromthe operation of the fifth section of the act of July 12, 1870, making appropriations for the legislative and executive expenses of the Government for the year ending June 30,1871. The legislation asked for by the board seems to me to be necessary. The report of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey gives a brief but satisfactory stateinent of the progress made during the last surveyng year. On the 1st day of October last, regulations were issued concerning the transportation qf merchandise from the ports of importation to certain other ports in the United States, without appraisement or liquidation of duties at the port of arrival, agreeably to the provisions of an act entitled ^ An,act to reduce internal taxes, and for other pur^ poses," approved July 14, 1870. A copy of the regulations will be transuiitted to Congress. In the nature of the case, the regulations are stringent; but when the railway companies shall have given the bonds required, and the importing merchants of the interior cities shall have made arrangements for the importation of goods upon the basis of the act, I am satisfied that no serious difficulties will arise, either to the railways, the laerchants, or the Government. Without doubt, the act increases the opportunity for the introduction of foreign goods into the country in violation of the revenue laws; but the examination which I have given to the subject, in the preparation of the regulations, leads . me to think that the business can be safely conducted. The appropriation for the expenses of collecting the customs revenue, under the act approved May 3,18665 is at the rate of $4,200,000 annually. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. IX in addition to such sums as may be received from fines, penalties, and forfeitures, and from storage, cartage, drayage, and labor. Experience has shown that this amount is insufficient, and a deficiency appropriation will be needed at each session of Congress until the permanent appropriation is increased. I have instituted a careful supervision in the Treasury Department over this branch of expenditures, and agents are emxiloyed in in^^estigating the expenses of the custom-houses of the countiy, for the xiurpose. of ascertaining whether the modes of business can be simplified and made more economical, and also whether a reduction of the number of employes or of salaries is practicable. By this ineans some saving will be effected, but it will even then be impossible to reduce the expenses within the appropriation. From 1858 to 1866 the permanent appropriation was at the rate of $3,600,000 per annum, in addition to the receipts before enumerated as axiiDlicable to this branch of the service. From 1856 to 1860, inclusive, the total receipts from customs were about $272,000,000, and the exxDcnses of collection were $15,879,000, or at the rate of more than five and one half per cent. The receipts for the year ending June 30, 1870, were $194,538,374 44, and the expenses $5,912,113 63, or not exceeding three and one half per cent. From 1858 to 1860 the revenue collected did not exceed ^ an .avera.ge.of $50,000,000 a year; and the temptation to smuggling and fraud was much, loss under a low system^ of duties than it is at the Xiresent time. At the x^i'iiicipal importing cities of the country it is necessary to employ a large force for the x^i'otection of the wharves and water lines Avithin or near to such cities. It is also necessary to guard against smuggling, b y t h e presence often of several officers upon and around the steamers and other vessels importing large quantities of goods, while engaged in discharging their cargoes. It is also apparent that the extensive line of coast on the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and the Gulf of Mexico, everywhere furnishing opportunities for the introduction of goods in violation of the revenue laws, requires the presence of a large number of skillful and tru^-tworthy persons. The acquisition of Alaska, the establishment of interior ports of entry, the accommodation of business by railways aiid steamers on the northern frontier, add materially to the expenses of collecting and guarding the revenue. I therefore respectfully recom:mend the increase of the permanent axipropriation for collecting the revenue from customs t o the sum of $2,600,000 ibr each half-year from and after the 30th day of June, 1870. x\.t several of the important ports there are two appraisers, whose powers are equal. I recommend such an alteration of the law as will provide for one principal appraiser at each port, who shall be responsible for the business of the office. The Treasury Department has the care of one hundred and ten public buildings that are comxileted, and-of seventeen more that are in the course of erection, all of which had cost, on the 30th of June last, $3.5,900,998 93. X REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. The appropriation for the repair and preservation of these buildings for the current year is $100,000, a sum manifestly inadequate, being less than one-third of one x^^^* cent. Unless larger annual appropriations are made, the buildings will raxiidly deteriorate in value, and finally will need much larger rexiairs, or the erection of new ones in their stead. With the increase of population in the country, appropriations must be annually made for the erection of post offices, custom-houses, and other public buildings. The xiresent mode of inaugurating these works seems to me unwise. Apxiropriations are often made without sufficient information upon the subject. It is true that, when a proposition is introduced into Congress for the erection of a public building, the subject is reterred to the Treasury Department, and by the Secretary to the Suxiervising Architect of the Treasury; but it is also true that the Supervising Architect has only general information upon the subject, and in answer to a sudden call, and without time for the preparation of plans and estimates, he cannot give a safe opinion as to the necessity or the cost of the w^ork. I respectfully recommend that hereafter, when apxilications are made for the construction of public buildings, the first step on the xiart of Congress be to instruct the Treasury Department to make careful inquiry as to the necessity of the work, and also to prepare estimates to be laid before Congress. This beiug done, and the work authorized, it would seem to be wise to make a single approxiriation, sufficient to meet the entire cost, and then hold the Department and the Supervising Architect responsible for the speedy completion of the building, substantially upon xilans duly authorized'and within the estimates. I am satisfied that much waste of public inoney occurs, and much complaint on the part of citizens arises, when small ax)prox:)riations are made from year to year. The inevitable consequence of the policy is that the public works are injured in the process of construction and the exxienses are largely increased. The Supervising Architect of the Treasury states in his report that the expenditure authorized bylaw for the construction of the post office in the city bf New York will be inadequate, unless the character of the work is changed from the original design. I t seems to be due to the city of New York, for general and apparent reasons, and in consideration of the fact that a most eligible site has been secured, by the cooperation and in some degree at the expense of the city, that the building should not only be a fire-proof structure, but also of such design and workmanship as to rank among the best public buildings of the country. A t t h e present time there are twenty-four steamers and ten sailing vessels attached to the revenue marine service, the number having been reduced during the year by the sale of two vessels of the latter class. A t the third session of the fortieth Congress an appropriation of },000 was made for the construction of four steam revenue-cutters. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XI After proposals had been issued and bids received, wliich were rejected under the impression on my xiart that the public interests did not require vessels of as large size as those for which proposals had been issued, I ax^pointed a commission, by letter dated December 16, 1869, consisting of Captain C. T. Patterson, of the Coast Survey, Captain Douglass Ottinger and Captain J. H. Merryman, of the Revenue Marine, and instructed them to consider and report upon the character of the vessels best adapted to the service. Final action in reference to the construction of the vessels authorized was delayed for the report of the commission. That report was made on the 1st day of May, 1870. (E.xecutive Document No. 93, Senate, second session of the present Congress.) Upon the comxiletion of the work of the commission, proXiosals were again issued for the construction of the four vessels authorized bylaw. Satisfactory bids were received, and on the 22d of July and the 22d of August last contracts Avere made./ The construction given b y t h e Comptroller to the ^fifth section of "The act making appropriations for the legislative, executive, and judicial expenditures of the Government for the year ending the 30th of June, 1871," rendered the appropriation unavailable, and it therefore became necessary to notify the parties to the contracts that they must be considered as null and void. One of the parties has asked to have his contract formally annulled, Avhich has been done. I recommend a renewal of the appropriation of $300,000 for the construction of steam revenue-cutters, without limitation as to the number or specification as to the size of the vessels to be built. The rexiort of the commission shows that thirteen of the vessels BOW in use are either old or not adapted to the service. The opinion entertained by me that the vessels in use were larger than the nature of the service required, is confirmed by the rexiort of the commission. They recommend that the number be reduced to thirty-two, and the aggregate tonnage reduced from 9,208 tons to 7,175 tons. They also state that it will be practicable, upon the proposed basis, to reduce the total number of officers, pilots, petty officers, and men, from 1,266, the number then in service, to 1,061; and the actual expense of maintaining the system, not including apxiropriations for the construction of new vessels, from $1,446,490, to $943,639, making a saving of more than half a million of dollars a year. The report of the commission is the result of a careful and comx)rehensive ex^amination of the subject by competent men, and, while it is the xiresent purpose of the Department to act upon it, I am of ox)inion that it should receive legislative sanction. On the 9th of July, 1869, I convened a board of examiners, who were charged, among other things, with the examination of the officers of the Revenue Marine. The board is comxiosed of Captains Faun ce and Slicer, of the Revenue Marine, and Captain Patterson, of the Coast Survey. The examination has not yet been comxileted, as only a small number of officers could be detailed for examination at the same time. XTI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. One hundred ahd ten lieutenants have been examined. Ten first lieutenants, nine second lieutenants, and six third lieutenants were reported for removal, and have been removed. The vacancies thus created in the first and second grades were filled by xiromotions, and the vacancies in the lowest grade will be filled by qualified persons selected at large. The examination of the remaining officers will be continued. The condition of the marine hospitals has been imxiroved during the past year. This result is largely due to Dr. J. S. Billings, of the Surgeon GeneraPs Office, who has visited nearly all of them, and through whose advice many imxDortant changes have been made. No appointment has yet been made of a suxierintendent under the act of the last session. The authority therein granted to appoint a superintendent is desirable, although the salary does not appear to .bo sufficient. I however recommend such an. alteration of the law as will permit the President to detail a surgeon of the Army or Navy to perform the duty of superintendent, without any addition to his x)ay other than his necessar3' traveling expenses. With such authority, the Dexiartment could have the benefit of the services of Dr. Billings, or some other competent surgeon, with less expense than would be involved in a regular appointment, even with, the present salary. Five of the principal ports of the country. New York, New Orleans, San Francisco, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, are without hosx)ii^al accomjnodation.s, and provision is made for the patients by contract Avith hospitals or private parties. The War Department is in possession of a very desirable hospital at New Orleans, known as the Sedgwick Hospital, aiid*I earnestly recommend the passage of an act by which the building may be transferred to the Treasury Department for a marine hospital, and an axixiropriation made for the purchase of the land on which it stands. At the last session the attention of Congress was called to the subject of transferring David's Island, at New York, from.the War Department to the Treasury Department, for the establishment of a marine hospital. This recommendation, is now respectfully renewed. In compliance with the act of July 1, 1870, in reference to the seal fisheries, xiroposals w^ere issued and bids received for the exclusive right to the fisheries for the term of twenty years. The x'>hraseology emxiloyed in the act warranted the interpretation that the contract should be awarded to the Alaska Commercial Company if their proposition was as favorable to the Government as that of any other party, and upon that basis the contract was awarded to that company. A copy of the contract and of the xiapers connected therewith will be transmitted to Congress. About eighty-six thousand seal-skins have arrived at San Francisco, as the product ofthe year 1869, on which the owners have xiaid one dollar each, as required by the sixth section of said act. I consider it my duty to call the attention of Congress to the REPORT OP THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XIII inadequacy and inequality ofthe salaries of the officers in the Treasury Department, as fixed by law. The offices recently established are supported by xiroper salaries; but the salaries attached to man3^ of those created at the organization of the Government are insufficient. As a temporary means of alleviating the admitted evil. Congress has, from time to time, and for many years, annually made apxiroxiriations, to be used at the discretion of the Secretary, for additions to salaries of officers in the Department. In the nature o f t h e case, this is a disagreeable duty for the Secretary to x^erform, is usually unsatisfactory^ to the parties interested, and the result has not the sanction and support incident to a system of specific salaries established by law. At the Xiresent time the sum of $21,300 is distributed by the Secretary in his discretion. After a careful examination of the subject, I find that an additional appropriation, not exceeding $16,000 a year, will be sufficient to provide adequate salaries for the officers of the Treasury Dex:)artment. The act of 1853 in regard to the examination of clerks has been observed by this Department, and with beneficial results. It is worthy of consideration, however, whether it would not be wise to provide by law for an examining board, the majority of whose members should not be officers of the Department to which the clerk is to be assigned, in case of appointment and approval. This system should also be extended to the x^rincipal custom-houses and revenue offices of the country. By such an arrangement, adequate security would be taken for the character and qualifications of clerks, as far as they can be ascertained or tested without actual service in the discharge of official duty. It is well understood, however, that no exaraination can furnish security that the person examined will x3rove satisfactoiy upon trial, and there should always be a speedy and easy method of removing such persons from office. I do not, therefore, accept the idea that the tenure of office for the clerks and employes in this Department should be changed. Indeed, I believe that the x')i''esent tenure of office furnishes the best security which the people of the country can have that the business of the Government will be efficiently and properly performed. The work of the Treasury Department does not differ essentially from the business done in banking houses and raer.chant^s counting rooms; and there is no reason why the tenure of office should be permanent in one case that does not axix)ly with equal force in the others. I t does happen practically that there are" in the Treasury Dexiartment, and in every bureau and office of it, men who have been connected with the service for several years, and who x^ossess all the knowledge derived from experience and tradition that is essential to , the performancccof their duties. Excluding the employ6s of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, . and the messengers and laborers, there were 2,143 officers.and clerks connected with the Treasury Department at Washington on the 1st day Of November, 1870; and of these, 1,489 were in office on the 4th day of XIV REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. March, 1869, leaving 654 as the total number of appointments made since that time. Previous to the war the business of the Department was so small that on the 1st of March, 1861, only 433 persons were emxiloyed, and of these fifty-seven are now in the service. One has been in office over fifty years, two others over forty years, one over thirty-five years, seven over thirty years, one over twenty-five years, ten over twenty years, fourteen over fifteen years, and twelve over ten years. These statements show that the changes in the Department are not so numerous as to deprive the service of the knowledge derived from experience. On the other hand, the introduction of new men secures additional energy and efficiency. Two errors x^revail in the community in connection with the subject. One is that under a republican government every man has a right to an office. This is in no sense true. The only right is that of the people to elect and to have appointed to office persons best qualified to perform the work. The other error is that offices in the Treasury Department are x^zes which the young men of the country may wisely seek. Speaking generally, it is a misfortune to a young man, who possesses even ordinary capacity for business or labor, to remain x>ermanently in the public offices of this city. It is, however, true that many of the most valuable clerks in the Treasury are young men who are i)^ii^s^iing xirofessional studies, or who, having completed the course, remain from one to four years in the Dexiartment with the purpose, by industry and economy, of securing a small amount of monej' with which to commence active life elsewhere. A system of life tenure would exclude all these men from the service, unless they choose to accex)t it as a x^^Tmanent x^ui'suit, Avhich in the main Avould be an injury to them and to the country. I am also fully convinced that any more xiermanent tenure of office would materially impair the efficiency of the revenue system. There are many thousand.men eraployed in the customs and internal revenue service, and, however careful the xireliminary examination might be, the evils which now imxiair its efficiency AVould undoubtedly exist. No system of examination could exclude all those who are dishonest, or who, under the pressure of necessity or the offer of sudden wealth, might yield- to temptation. It often haxipens, and it Avould happen under any system, that men are found who are honest, temperate, and apparently capable, and yet lack the energy or the courage essential to the enforcement of the revenue laws—a duty Avhich often requires sagacity and a kind of intelligence too subtle foi discovery through formal questions. Men who are thus unqualified should be removed from olfice, and this without an investigation, which, indeed, might furnish nothing tangible in justification of the act. So, too, in custom-houses or collection districts, a branch of the service will fail to meet just expectations, although no dishonesty may be traceable to any xierson connected with the office. In such cases the interests of the Government REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. XY demand a change, and a change must be made Avithout a hearing of the parties concerned. I may be warranted in saying in this connection that the evil of officeseeking, although great, is probably exaggerated in the public mind. I t is true that there are more applications.for appointment to office in the Department than can be inet, but the number of applicants who are well qualified, and who could pass any proper examination, is not usually very large. Outside of the Department, and in the several States and districts of the country, the nuraber of applicants for local offices does not often exceed three or four to each office, and occasionally there are not more than two who are really so presented as to be considered in connection with the appointment. In justification of the present tenure, and as a proper recognition of the services of the officers and clerks employed in this Department, I express the opinion that the business, upon the whole, is not only done in a satisfactory manner, but that it Avill compare in accuracy and efficiency with the business of the country generally, which is carried on by corporations or individuals. In my annual report of December last, I advised the continuance of the existing system of taxation as an essential condition to the success of the xiroposed loan. The circumstance that war was declared between France and Prussia simultaneously with the passage of the loan bill put it out of the poAver of the Department to make the negotiation as had been expected. The large revenues, however, of the Government continuing without material abatement until the present time, imx')roved the credit ofthe country, enabled the Treasury Dexiartment, by weekly liurchases, to reduce the amount of surxilus bonds offered for sale, and contributed to depreciate the market value of gold. I also expressed the oxiinion that the settled policy of the country should contemplate a reveuue sufficient to meet the ordinary expenses of the Government, pay the interest on the xmblic debt, and from twenty-five to fifty millions of dollars of the x^iincipal annually. The reduction of the public debt since the 30th day of June last has been so great as to render it certain that the total reduction for the xiresent fiscal year will exceed sixty millions of dollars. The natural increase of the business ofthe country during the next eighteen months is likely to be such as to show a surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1872, of about forty millions of dollars. The principal of the pubhc debt on the last day of NoA-^ember, 1870, not deducting moneys on hand, Avas $2,418,673,044 43. Of this amount $395,269,237 08 was represented by United States notes and fractional currency, not bearing interest. The banks of the country, acting within the authority of existing laws, will require about $393,000,000 of bonds to be xilaced on deposit as security for their circulation. Should the present system of furnishing a paper circulation for the country, partly by the Treasury and partly by the national banks, be continued, or the XVI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY. entire circulation be furnished by the Treasury, or by the banks, the credit of the United States Avill be the security for the redemption of the notes. From this vicAV of the policy of the country it follows that about $800,000,000 of the public debt Avill remain unxiaid, existing either in the form of treasury notes in circulation without interest, or in bonds owned by the banks and held as security for the redemption of their notes, and that only about $1,600,000,000 of the principal of the debt is subject tp xiayment. The financial prosxiect, although highly faA'orable, is not such as to warrant iraportant changes in thereA^enue system a t t h e present session of oCongress; but should the result during the coming year meet my expectations, it Avill be possible at the December session of the fortysecond Congress to make a A^ery material reduction in the revenues Avithout imxiairing the ability of the GoA^ernment to raake satisfactory payments of the public debt The reduction already made has been advantageous to the countr}- not only in the xiarticulars indicated, but in other respects hardly less important. There is much CA^dence tending to show that no other event since the conclusion of the war has contributed so much to the diffusion of republican opinions in Europe. The spread ot these opinions stimulates emigration from Europe, and at the same time X3repares the Avay for the establishment of free institutions on that continent. Nor can there be any doubt that a policy accepting the debt as xiermanent would retard emigration from Europe, especially of the reading and reflecting classes. Whatever arguments may be adduced, or whatcA^er theories advanced? the fact must CA^er remain that a public debt is a public evil. I t is especially burdensome to the laboring classes, and it is, therefore, in their interest to xirovide for the constant reduction of the existing national debt. This x^olicy will not xirevent such changes in the reveuue system from time to time as Avill equalize the inevitable burdens of our present condition; and Avithin a comparatively short period the taxes may be removed from many articles of x^rime necessity. It is the occasion of satisfaction that no other nation ever passed through a great war with so. slight a shock to industry and business. Specific information, and general intelligence from various parts of the Uuited States, show that all classes, and especially the laboring classes, are in the enjoyment of more than average prosperity, Avhether tested by the experience of this country, or by the present condition of other nations. No reason can be fo.und, howcA^er, in the favorable condition of public and priA^ate affairs, for neglecting any proper means for equalizing and ° diminishing the burden of taxation; but it does justify the statement that the nation can make provision for the public debt, in the manner recommended, Avithout embarrassing its industry or retarding its progress.

The difference is explained by the fact that the items for " old debt," amounting to $57,665, and for " Mexican indemnity,'' amounting to $1,104 91, are not included in the monthly statement of the pw.blic debt, and the bonds which have been purchased for the sinking and special funds, amounting to $121,429,100-, were treated as outstanding on the 1st of July last, and were therefore not deducted. Since that date the act of July 14, 18.70, directed their cancellation and destruction, and the^^ have therefore been deducted from the amount outstanding in this statement. o w w. > Ul d Kj X XLVI REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT^ O F F I C E OF INTERNAL REVENUE^ Washington, October 31,1870. S I R : I have the honor to transmit herewith the tabular statements made up from the accounts of this ofiice, which the Secretary of the Treasury is required to lay before Congress, as follows: Table A, showing the receipts from each specific source of revenue and the amounts refunded in each collection district, State, and Territory of the Ilnited States for the fiscal year ending June 30,1870. Table B, showing the number and value of internal revenue stamps ordered monthly by the Commissioner, the receipts from the sale of . stamps and the commissions allowed on the same; also the number and value of stamps for tobacco, cigars, snuff, distilled spirits, and fermented liquors, issued monthly to collectors during the fiscal year ending June 30,1870. Table C, showing the territorial distribution of internal revenue from various sources in the United States. • Table D, showing the aggregate receipts from each collection district, State, and Territory for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1863,1864, 1865, .1866,1867,1868,1869, and 1870. Table E, showing the total collections from each specific source of revenue for the fiscal years ending June 30,1863,1864,1865,1866,1867, 1868,1869, and 1870, respectively. Table F, showing the ratio of receipts from specific sources to the aggregate of all collections for the fiscal years ending June 30,1864,1865, 1866,1867,1868,1869, and 1870," respectively. Table G, an abstract of reports of district attorneys concerning suits and prosecutions under the internal revenue laws. These tables exhibit the full result of the operations of this Bureau from its orgaDization to the present time. The estimate submitted in my annual report for 1869, of the probable receipts from internal revenue sources, exclusive of the direct tax upon lands and the duty upon, the circulation and deposits of national bankvS, for the fiscal year 1870, has been more than realized. That estimate was $175,000,000, and the aggregate receipts, under the then existing laws, are shown to be $185,235,867 97, an excess of $10,235,867 97 beyond the estimate. This aggregate includes the sums refunded for taxes illegally assessed and collected, amounting to $196,809 81, as well as the amount of commissions of collectors. Drawbacks bave only been allowed on general inerchandise under section 171, act of June 30, 1864, limited by the act of March 31, 1868, to ale and patent medicines, amounting to $5,838 55. 4 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

From the foregoing table it appears that there has been a continuous increase in the receipts from the excise tax from June 30, 1869, to June 30; 1870, aggregating the sum of $25,196,523 68, and averaging for each month $2,099,710 30. The term '^sources not elsewhere enumerated'^ embraces, among other things, the residuum of taxes uncollected under previous laws which had been repealed. For the last year this class has been greatly reduced by the more thorough action of collectors. The exhibitions of the foregoing table, and the deductions therefrom, with the general knowledge which experience in administering the internal revenue laws has furnished, satisfy me that there is no insurmountable difficulty in enforcing our excise laws; and that a proper regard to the qualifications of revenue officers for ability and integrity is Avhat is most essential to secure the prompt and certain collection of internal taxes. The employment of spies and informers, and the policy of paying moieties, if they were ever useful, are, in my opinion, no longer .iiei3essar3^ I think the revenue service would be improved by discontinuing such aids. The officers now termed "detectives" should be continued in the service under the designation of assistant supervisors, SPIRITS. The number of distilleries (other than fruit) registered during the last fiscal year is Number of fruit distilleries registered ^ Total. 770 2,120 2,890 The spirit-producing capacity of the registered distilleries for each twenty-four hours, as ascertained by surveys, is as follows: i . Gallons, From grain Frbm molasses Fipm fruit i Total daily spirit-producing capacity 759, 377 24, 903 126, 271 910, 551 It will be seen that if the distilleries, other than fruit, were operated to .the full extent of their capacity for a period of ten months, throughout the distilling season in each year, they are capable of producing 203,912,800 gallons. This quantii3y, however, is largely in excess of ouj:' consumption, which is estimated at from seventy-five to eighty milliqns of gallons. The best information which this office has been able to iirocure on this subject induces the belief that the whole number of distilleries (other than fruit) is operated for about the period of six months only, and for that period they are not run to the full extent of their produ;cing capacity. Tlie returns to this office for the last fiscal year show a . total production in taxable gallons, from material other than fruit, of 71,337,099 Frbmfruit. 938,254 From fruit, not yet returned, but estimated at 150, 000 Total yearly production 72,425,353 COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. / This may not prove to be absolutely correct, but it is believed to approximate the quantity actually produced. The production of spirits from fruit is likely to be largely increased for the .current year, owing to the extensive crop of fruit growii in many ]iarts of the United States, and owing to the further reason that the revised regulations, issued from this office in July last, under section two of the act of July 20, 1868, governing fruit distillation, have relieved the manufacturers fr5m many o f t h e requirements applicable to grain distillation, and which,, when applied to fruit, were found so burdensome as almost to prohibit its distillation. I consider that much credit is due to the local revenue officers of the fruit distilling districts for the energy andjudgment they have exercised in carrying out these regalations. Gallons. The quantity of spirits in bond July 1, 1869, Avas.. 16, 685,166 The quantity entered in bond for the year ending June 30, 1870, was 71, 337,099 The quantity withdrawn from bond during last period was., 76, 339,807 The quantity remaining in bond June 30,1870, was 11, 682,458 The quantity remaining in bond July 1,1869, as per present report, in excess of the quantity stated in my report for 1869, shown by corrected reports of collectors received subsequent to the publication of the report for 1869 21, 328 Judging from the information in possession of this office, there is no reason for believing that there will be any material falling off in the production of spirits during the current fiscal year. The plan of surveying distilleries on the basis of a forty-eight hour fermenting period, for sweet mash, to which attention was called in my last annual report, has been fully carried out, and its results are highly satisfactory and advantageous to the Government. It has largely increased the per diem and capacity taxes, and has contributed to produce, among this class of distilleries, an equal and uniform basis of taxation, as well as security against illicit distillation. It was at first strenuously opposed by the distillers in some parts of the country, and occasioned considerable litigation in the courts, in all of which the Government has been sustained where decisions have been rendered; and the distillers themselves seem to have generally come to the conclusion that the policy of the Government was just, and that the action of the Department was beneficial, not only in enhancing and collecting the revenue, but in promoting the entire distilling interest ofthe country. I desire to say, also, that as a general rule those now engaged in the business of distilling seem to be disposed to obey the law and comply with the orders and regulations of this Bureau. There are exceptions to this general remark, and in some localities a spirit of insubordination and defiance is still manifest, but I do not think there is anything like a systematic or organized opposition to the enforcement of the laws taxing spirits to be found among this class of manufacturers. SPIRIT METERS. The "new rules and regulations" for the procurement and use of spirit meters, which I had the honor to transmit to Congress at its last session, have been continued in force, but the time for procuring and attaching the instruments has been extended in order to make perfect tests of the meter in the few instances where it had been attached under such regulations.. I have been desirous, by these tests, to ascertain, with certainty, whether the samxile meter, which was all that was preserved by the old 8 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. system, is of sufficient utility to justify this office in requiring its procurement and use by distillers; and I have felt unwilling to enforce it until I was fully satisfied, by experimental use, of the propriety and justice of doing so. The few instruments now attached are undergoing the strictest surveillance, but have not been fully reported upon by the officers in charge. As soon as such reports are received and considered. Congress will be informed, through you, of the results, and of the opiuion of this office as to the propriety of continuing the use of the Tice spirit meter. SACCHAROMETERS. Eecognizing the necessity of adopting and prescribing for use a standard saccharometer in pursuance of section two.of the act of July 20, 1868, I invited manufacturers of the several varieties to iiresent samples for examination and test. Several instruments were received and referred for experiment to the American Union Academy of Literature, Science, and Art of this city. The result was announced in the reportof the Academy, and printed by direction of Congress iii Ex. Doc. JSTO. 272,. 2d sess. 41st Congress. In order to reach the most satisfactory results, I invited and received other samples, which, together with those previously considered, and the evidence relating thereto, were referred for further examination to a committee of officers connected with this Bureau. The results of the investigations made are favorable to the selection of a standard saccharometer, and its use by internaTrevenue officers . having direct supervision of distilleries and the business of distillation. The approximation with which the saccharine and alcoholic values of washes, worts, or beer may be determined by its proper use, its importance to the revenue interests of the Government, and the successful operations of the distiller, have been fully demonstrated. There is, however, no authority of law for procuring this instrument for the use of revenue officers at the expense of the Government -, and as such use will be mainly for the benefit of the Government, I have not felt warranted in imposing that expense upon distillers under the authority given me to adopt and prescribe for use such instruments. I would, therefore, recommend that additional authority by law, be given to the Commissioner of Internal Kevenue, to procure at the expense of the Government such saccharometers and gauging instruments as the good of the public service shall require, and that he prescribe rules and regulations concerning their distribution, use, and the manner in which officers in charge of the same shall account therefor. , THE PRESENT LAW AS TO SPIRITS. The experience of the past year has served to strengthen my previous opinions as to the impolicy of changing the law taxing spirits, and induces me to repeat the recommendation in my last annual report that the rate of tax and the manner of its collection be left as they are now provided lor. • The receipts from this source for 1870 are $55,581,599 18, already within four and a half millions of my estimate, " after the present law siiall have been brought into complete execution with such amendments as time and experience may demonstrate to be necessary to perfect the system." Anticipation is almost realized without time ', and experience seeujs to declare it to be unwise and inexpedient to change the law in any essential feature. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. \) TOBACCO. * The receipts from tobacco continue to be highly satisfactory. By reference to the second table, it will be seen that the receipts for the last fiscal year, from this source, are $31, 350, 707 88 For the preceding year they were 23,430, 707 57 Showing an increase of 7, 920, 000 31 This increase of nearly $8,000,000 has not been spasmodic, but is a regular monthly increase averaging over $600,000 per month. It is to be observed, also, that the late crop of tobacco was an inferior one, owing to a general drought in many of the tobacco-growing districts. Notwithstanding this favorable exhibit, I desire to direct attention particularly to some defects in the provisions and operations of the law taxing tobacco. The present law imposes two rates of tax on all manufactured tobacco, one of 16 cents and the other of 32 cents per pound. It seems to have been the intention to . apply the former rate only in exceptional cases, while the general rate was to be double the amount. But in practice it is found that w^hat was to have been but occasional and only exceptional has come to be too nearly the general and prevailing rate on all tobacco manufactured and sold as smoking tobacco, while much that is intended and used for chewing is sold also under the lesser rate. The law now provides that "on all smoking tobacco, exclusively of stems, or of leaf with all the stems in, and so sold, the leaf not having been previously stripped,, butted, or rolled, and from which no part of the stems have been separated, by sifting, stripping, dressing, or in any other manner, either before, during, or after the process of manufacturing, a tax of sixteen cents per pound shall be paid." Under this provision manufacturers claim that they have a right to manufacture cut or, granulated tobacco, the raw or leaf tobacco even having been previously submitted to a process of sweetening, and if the final product contains all or more than all the stems natural to the leaf, that they are entitled to sell it under the 16-cent tax. They allege that they do not know, and are not bound to know for what purpose their goods are bought and used. That the same article may be used, and frequently is used, by the same persons for both smoking and chew^ing. Long-cut smoking, especially if sweetened, may be used instead of fine-cut for chewing. The cheapest grades of plug tobacco, although taxed at 32 cents per pound, are quite as generally used h j the poorer classes of consumers for smoking as the cut or granulated smoking, which is taxed but 16 cents a pound, though a very much-higher priced article as sold in the markets. To make the rate of tax depend on the process of manufacture unquestionably opens a wide door for fraud. No one can determine by inspection of the product whether a given sample of cut or granulated smoking tobacco contains all, or more, or less than the natural quantity of stems. I t i s believed to be impossible by any single machine hitherto in use by manufacturers, by a single process, to reduce ordinary leaf tobacco entirely to even, homogeneous, and similar particles. This can be accomplished only by two or more different machines, or by a succession of operations through the same machine. And these processes enable the manufacturer, from the same material, and at the same time, to inake different grades of smoking tobacco, containing more or less stems, at.pleasure. Under the present law great inequalities exist, and necessarily so, for 10 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. nearly all smoking tobacco, however fine the grade, or high-priced the article, escapes with only the payment of the 16-cent tax, as being made of leaf with all the stems in. The poorest quality of stem smoking or leaf, cut with all the stems in, iiays the same tax as the ^ highest priced smoking tobacco, provided the latter is claimed to have been cut, in the words of the lA *, "with all the stems in," and at the same time the a AloAvest and poorest grades of plug and twist tobacco pay double the rate of tax of smoking tobacco which sells in the markets of the country at double the price of the plug and twist. I am satisfied that there is but one remedy for the frauds perpetrated under this head, and that is to make the tax on all descriptions of tobacco uniform. Less of inequality would then exist under a tax of 32 cents per pound than under the present rates. There seems to be no good reason why there should be two different rates of taxation on articles of equal price and value, simply because one is used for smoking and the other for chewing. Why not reverse the rule and place the larger tax upon smoking tobacco and the lesser upon chewing'? With a uniform tax of 32 cents per pound on all manufactured tobacco, the revenue can be collected with much greater facility than at present. Manufacturers would be at liberty to adopt any modes of manipulating the raw material, or any process of manufacturing it they deemed fit, without being questioned by the Government. There would be less inequality in the practical operations of the tax on all classes of consumers, while the receipts of the Treasury would be increased, taking the last fiscal year as the basis, by at least $4,500,000. I am satisfied that the honest and larger portion of the tobacco trade are generally in favor of a uniform rate of tax on' all descriptions and grades of manufactured tobacco, and while a portion of the trade favor a tax of 16 cents, a large maj orit}^ are indifferent as to the rate, whether 16 or 32 cents iier pound, provided the tax is uniform, is thoroughly collected, and the manufacturer left free to manipulate his product as he pleases. THE SALE OF LEAF TOBACCO TO CONSUMERS. Thelaw now imposes a tax of 32 cents per pound "on all tobacco twisted by hand or reduced from leaf into a condition to be consumed or otherwise prepared without the use of any machine or instrument, and without being pressed or sweetened." It is not thought to have been the intention of Congress to impose a tax upon raw or leaf tobacco sold in the condition in which it is ordinarily cured and packed b3^ the farmer or^iilanter for sale, or upon tobacco stemmed and prized for manufacture or exportation. But without believing it to have been the intention to tax the raw or leaf tobacco sold directly to consumers for chewing or smoking, it is very difficult to determine what description or class of tobacco was intended to be reached by a process of preparation involving neither the use of any machine or instrument, nor any process of pressing or sweetening. If it^was the intention to tax all tobacco, even the raAV leaf, if sold for immediate consumption, I would recommend that the law be made so explicit as to remove all doubts on the subject. But, if under no circumstances a tax is to be assessed upon raw or leaf tobacco, even when sold directly to consumers, then I would recommend that an equivalent for the specific tax on the product be imposed upon the dealer, as a special tax, whenever he sells directly to consumers. There is reason to believe that a large ma COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. . 11 jority of all the leaf dealers in the countr}^ are retailing leaf tobacco for consumption in quantities to suit purchasers, sales being made of one pound or less. The aggregate amount of such sales may notbe shown, but they will reach many millions of pounds sold and consumed annually, without producing any revenue to the Government. Manufacturers who are required to pa}^ not only a special tax for carrying on their business, but a specific tax also on all their iiroducts, have reason to complain of this traffic so damaging to their interests as well as to the Government revenue. EXPORT BONDED WAREHOUSES. The law authorizes the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue to designate and establish, at any port of entry in the United States, bonded warehouses, for the storage of manufactured tobacco and snuff' in bond, intended for exportation, w^hile at the same time it authorizes the collector in charge of exports at such jiorts to issue a permit for the withdrawal of such tobacco and snuff' for consumption, after the tax has been paid thereon. Upon taking charge, of this office, I found that there had been established by my predecessor, under the act of July 20, 1868, fifteen export bonded warehouses for the storage of tobacco and snuff' intended for export, to wit: One at Boston, five at New York, four at Philadeljihia, two at Baltimore, one at Eichmond, one at New Oiieans, and one at San Francisco. Eepeated applications have been made for additional warehouses within the last year and a half, but believing that it w^as the design of Congress not only to abolish the old system of Class B warehouses for tobacco and snuff, but to limit the facilities for bonding to such goods as were in fact intended for exportation, and- also believing that the distinguishing feature of the present law, and that which made it radically diff'erent from previous laws on the subject of manufactured tobacco, was the prepayment of the tax by means of stamps before the removal of the goods from the place of manufacture, I have denied these applications, for the reason that the nuniber of bonded warehouses alreadj^established greatly exceeds that actually required to accommodate the exiiort trade. The quantity of tobacco stored in the several exiiort bonded warehouses during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, was, (pounds) .' 19, 612^, 529 The quantity withdrawn for exportation was, (pounds)... 8,268, 097 The quantity Avithdrawn upon x)ayment of tax was, (pounds)^ 12, 006, 377 This shows that only about two-fifths of the goods bonded are actually exported, and nearly all of these are exported from New York and Boston. It is a fact that a large proportion of the goods stored in export bonded warehouses was never intended for exportation, the goods themselA^es being unsuited for foreign markets. They are shipped by the manufacturer in boiid,^and being stored, are consigned to wholesale dealers.and jobbers, thus securing to the latter the advantage of placing the goods upon the market AA^ithout the prepayment of the tax, as the law requires in all other cases, before the removal of goods from the manufactory. By shipping these goods in bond the dealers and jobbers receive, on an aA^erage, from four to five months'credit, and as this priAdlege can only be enjoyed by dealers and jobbers in the seaport 12 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. tOAvns, where by law these warehouses are authorized to be established, it creates ah inequality in the trade, preferring one class of dealers over others, and is the source of much complaint. To remedy this inequality and correct the evils of this system, I Avould recommend that the law be so amended as to allow no goods entered fbr export in bonded Avarehouses to be withdrawn therefrom for consumption, upon payment of tax, until twelve months from the time they were so bonded. By limiting the time for withdrawal, no goods will be entered except such as are actually intended for export, and the privilege of withdrawing for consumption, after twelve months, Avill relieve any parties Avho, having entered goods for export, fail afterwards to export the same. Should it be deemed inexpedient to limit the time before AAdiich permits for the Avithdrawal of goods on the payment of tax are not to be issued by the collector, then I would suggest that further authority be given to the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue to establish bonded warehouses at other jilaces than ports of entry, giving like fiicilities for bonding, and equal time before payment of taxes, to wholesale dealers and jobbers in ina,nufactured tobacco in other large cities, as are now enjoyed by those doing business in the cities nientioned, vv'here export bonded vv'^arehouses are located. ACT OF JULY 14, 1870. I deem it my duty to call the atten tion. of- Congress, through you, to certain defects, ambiguities, and.contradictions, Avhich, in the hurry of legislation incident to the closing labors of a session, ai)pear in the act of July 14, 1870. In some instances, alsQ, where the language is clear, the legal effect is held to be entirely different from Avhat is understood to have been designed by Congress. It is belicA^ed to haA^e beeu tlie intention to retain all the taxes imposed uiion sales of distilled spirits, Avines, and malt liquors, by the act of July 20,1868, a,nd acts amendatory thereof. Section 2 of the act of July 14, 1870, iieA^ertheless repeals the tax ux)on sales of malt liquors. It Avas evidently the purpose of section 5 to empower collectors to refnit, at any time prior to August 1, 1872, all penalties for issuing in• struinerits unstamped, unless the omission of stamps Avas.with fraudulent 'intent; but owing to a change made in the bill as reported by the Senate Finance Committee, the letter of the law is such as to postpone until August 1871, the relief v\'hicli was designed to be immediate. Section 17 provides that sections 120, 121, and 122 of the act of June 30, 1,864, as amended, shall be construed- to impose the taxes therein mentioned to August 1, 1870, and no longer.,. Section 15 provides "that there shall be levied and collected for and during the year 1871, a tax of two and a half per centum on the amount of all iuterest or coupons paid, or bonds or other evidences of debt issued and payable in one or more years after date by any of the corporations in this section hereinafter mentioned, and the amount of all dividends of earnings, income, or gains hereinafter declared, by any bank, trust company, savings institution, insurance company, railroad company, canal company, turnpike company, canal naAngation company, and slackwater company, Avhenever and Avherever the Same shall be payable, and to Avhatsoever person the same may be due, including non-residents, whether citizens or aliens." It is believed to have been th"e intention to continue the five per cent, tax until August 1, 1870, and to substitute a tax of tAvo and a half per cent, therefor on and after that. date. But, owing to the peculiar language of the statute, no tax can be°withheld from coupons-falling due COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. 13 -during the last five calendar months of 1870. According to a recent decision of the circuit court in the State of Pennsylvania, in the case of the Philadelphia and Eeading Eailroad Company vs. Barnes, collector, no tax can be withheld from dividends, coupons, or interest, payable during the first scA^eii months of 1870; and it is further maintained that corporations cannot be required to pay any taxes upon the dividends payable during the remaining five months. The right to Avithhold a tax from the salaries of persons in the civil, military, or naA^al service of the United States during the first seven months of 1870, turns also upon the points im^oh^ed in the case aboA^e named. The amount.of tax indirectly involved in this question is A^ery little less than six millions of dollars. I t is of such importance that I have not felt at liberty to acquiesce in the decision of the circuit court until it shall hav^e been affirmed by the court of last resort. Steps haA'e been taken, therefore, to have the opinion of the Supgeme Court of the United States pronounced upon the questions in issue. Herein I deem it proper to state that as early as January 4, 1870, I called the attention of Congress, through its appropriate committee, to the ambiguities of the law then in force, and the difficulties likely to arise in the collection of these taxes, and asked for legislation upon the subject. This request, as apiiears from the records of this office, Avas repeated February 8, April 7 and 25, and May 26, following, and Avas repeated orally and in person at several other times. The legislation Avas finally enacted July 14, but has been declared by the circuit court of Pennsylvania to haA^e been too late to serv-e the purpose desired. I t i s provided in section 15, that "Avhen any diAideiid'is made or interest is ]iaid, which includes any part of the surplus or contingent fund of an}^ corporation wiiich has been assessed and the tax paid thereon, or which includes any part of the dividends, interest, or coupons receiA^ed from other corporations whose officers are authorized by law to Avithhold a per centum on the sarae, the amount of tax so jiaid on that portion of the surplus or contingent fund, and the amount of tax which has been withheld and paid on dividends, interest, or coupons so received, may be deducted from the tax on such dividend or interest." Owing to a change in the rate of taxation from five per cent, to two and one-half per cent., taxes properly paid upon surplus prior to August 1 may now be again appropriated to the payment of taxes upon earnings since that date. For example: A dividend of $25,641 03 is declared on or after August 1, 1870. Included in this dividend, however, and constituting a paTt of it, are $15,641 03, taken from a fund from which prior to August 1 there was paid, as then required by laAV, a tax of fiA^e per cent. A tax of two and one-half per cent, upon the entire diAddend is $641 03; the tax of iive per cent, paid upon the surplus is $782 05. The law allows the tax paid upon the surplus to be deducted from the tax assessed upon the diAddend. In the example, the former exceeds the latter, and consequently earnings since August 1, to the amount of $10,000 escape taxation entirely. It would have resulted differently if the laAv had pro Added for a deduction of taxed surplus from dividends instead of a deduction of ^a^ from tax. Public resolution No. 75, approved July 13, 1870, relicA^ed insurance companies from certain taxes, but an act passed the next day restored them in language so plain as, in my judginent, to operate as a repeal of the resolution. ' . The repeal of the tax upon receipts for money includes, practically, a repeal of the tax upon demand and sight drafts,, bank checks, &c. A 14 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. person who has money on deposit, instead of drawing by check receives the money and giA^es his receipt, which is retained by the bank as a A^oucher. This practice is increasing, and seems likely to become general. While it is an CA^asion of taxes it is one for which the present law proAddes no remedy. The repeal of the special tax upon apothecaries takes effect May 1, 1871. After that time tliej mugt either abandon the dispensing and sale of Avines and spirits officinal upon physicians' prescriptions or otherwise, or pay special taxes as liquor dealers, unless there shall be additional legislation on the subject. So far as they are concerned the act of July 14, 1870, increases the taxes. The defects mentioned are but a part of those already discovered, and are probably but a small part of those which will eventually be found to exist. Some of them this office has attempted to reconcile and avoid by construction. How far this construction will be sanctioned by the courts remains to be seen. EXEMPTION FROM STAMP TAXES UNDER SCHEDULE 0. The act of July 14, 1870, exempted from taxation under Schedule C canned and preserved fish, leaAdng prepared mustard, sauces, sirups, iams and jellies still liable to the stamp tax. These articles being either condiments or conserA^es, and generally of home or culinary production, never having been a fruitful source of revenue, and the collection of the tax thereon always attended Avith no inconsiderable amount of trouble and A^exation, I would recomniend that they hereafter be relicA^ed from the stamp tax noAv imposed upon them under the clause in Schedule C, relating to "canned meats," &c. , REMISSION OF TAXES ASSESSED ON SHIP-BUILDERS. By my direction the collection of taxes on ship-builders, assessed under the 4th section of the act of March 31,1868, was ordered to be suspended. I would recommend, through you, that Congress provide by joint resolution or otherwise, for the remission, of all such taxes assessed but not collected on the sales of ship-builders. UNITED STATES DIRECT TAX. By act of Congress approved August 5,1861, a direct tax of $20,000,000 per annum was apportioned to all of the then existing States and Territories, and the District of Columbia. This act provided that each State, Territory, and the District of Columbia might pay its own quota, if notice of the intention thereof should be properly given on or before the second Tuesday of February next thereafter. Under this provision of law all the States, Territories, and the District of Columbia formally assumed the payment of the tax, except Delaware, the Territory of Colorado, and the elcA^en insurrectionary States. Provisions Avere made for the collections to be made in DelaAvare and Colorado by internal revenue officers, and in the eleven insurrectionary States by the appointment of LTnited States direct-tax commissioners, under an act of Congress approved June 7, 1862. By act of Congress approved July 1, 1862, the operations of the act of August 5, 1861, were suspended until April 1,1865, except so far as related to the collection of the first annual tax of $20,000,000, and by act of 15 COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE. June 30, 1864, it was further suspended until additional legislation by Congress was had. The following States and Territories appear to haA'-e satisfied their quotas in full: Maine, NCAV Hampshire, Yermont, Massachusetts, Ehode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Yirginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, Nebraska, New Mexico, Dakota, and the District of Columbia. Against New York, Wisconsin, Kansas, California, Delaware, Colorado, and Washington Territories there are balances unsatisfied amounting to about $1,312,000. Oregon and Utah have paid no part of their quotas.. I herewith submit a table showing the respective quotas, and the approximate amount of taxes uncollected in the late insurrectionary States. states. Virginia Nortli Carolina South Carohna Georgia .

In Yirginia, South Carolina, Florida, Arkansas, and Tennessee, lands were sold for the non-payment of taxes charged against them. Lands were bid in at the tax sales by the tax commissioners, and never haAdng been redeemed are still owned by the United States, as follows: In Yirginia, lands valued, according to the assessment of I860., at $75, 000 In South Carolina, lands valued by the commissioners at 300, 000 In Florida, lands A^alued by the commissioners at 25, 000 In Tennessee, lands valued by the commissioners at 309, 000 Making a total approximate valuation of » 709, 000 None of these lands, are now yielding any revenue to the Government except in South Carolina, and a few tracts in Florida. Steps are being taken, however, toward placing a record of these lands in a condition whereby the Government may control and obtain more rcA^enue from them. During the several years in which no control was exercised by the United States over its direct-tax lands, except in South Carolina, parties took possession, assumed ownership and conveyed formal titles to manj^ of them. Alleged innocent purchasers are now ordered to surrender possession of them to officers designated tp take charge of and 16 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. collect rents for the use of them. In many cases the alleged innocent purchasers ha\^e made extensiA^'e improvements on the lands, and made them their homes. The sales of lands for non-payment bf the direct taxes in the said eleven States were suspended by order of the Secretary of the Treasury in May 1865. The collection of the tax in said States Avas suspended in August 1866, and by several acts of Congress suspended until January 1, 1869; since Avhich no action has been had by Congress, or by the Executive authority, nor haA^e the conditions been resumed in any of the said eleven States. The scA^eral boards of United States direct-tax commissioners were dissolA^ed on or before the 30th of April, 1867, except in South Carolina. This board has been continued in consequence, of additional duties imposed on the commissioners for that State, in connection with the disposal of the direct-tax lands in pursuance of several acts of Congress, and the instructions of the President dated September 16, 1863. That board has been discontinued from October 31, 1870. There is now due to the United States, on account of deferred payments in South Carolina, $150,000, and the time for its payment has expired. The duties which remain to be performed there are managing the direct-tax lands, by leasing and selling the same where there is authority to sell, collecting " special" and "school-farm'^ rents, collecting.deferred payments, and applying the funds arising from the different sources according to laAv. It appears that a considerable amount of money Avas collected illegally by the direct-tax commissioners, but Congress, by an act approved February 25,1867, proAdded for refunding such illegal collections by the Secretary of the Treasury. A large number of claims haA'-e been presented to this office of this character. I t may be deemed important that Congress should make provision for the final disposition of all the lands Avhich have been acquired and are now owned by the United States, under the direct-tax laAvs, at an early day. And also, that in the adjustment of the uncollected portion of the direct taxes in the late insurrectionary States, a different system from thatproAdded in the act of June 7, 1862, should be devised.

The seizures by internal revenue officers of iiroperty for frauds practiced in the Adolation of law, and the CA^asion of tax, for the year ending 30th June, 1870, were as follow^s : 762,081.48 gallons distilled spirits, A^alued at $1, 038, 840 54 10,310.50 barrels fermented liquors, valued at .. 69, 647 28 34,142.50 pounds snuff, valued at 5, 662 21 1,710,619.11 pounds tobacco, A^alued at 284, 071 13 4,010,805 cigars, valued at 110,236 46 Miscellaneous property, A^alued at 1, 888, 414 18 Total value of seizures - 3, 396, 871 80 On the subject of the seizure and disposition of property for the violation of the reA^enue laAvs, I would suggest that section 63 of the act of July 13, 1866, be so amended as to make its proAdsions applicable to property forfeited under any of the internal revenue laws. The limit in A^alue of the property seized should be extended from $300 to $500, and the expenses of seizure and custod}^ should be proAdded for as well as those of appraisement and sale. As the law UOAV stands the section is nearly useless. It is the common testimony of officers that the effect of this summary disposition of small quantities of forfeited property is beneficial in promoting compliance with the law5 and, indeed, that it is the only effective mode of dealing Avith such small values to sell in this Avay. In the courts the whole value would be absorbed in costs. <> From the following statement it will appear that for the last four years nearly $90,000 worth of iirojierty has been sold in small lots, at an average expense of 32 per cent, of the gross iiroceeds. Had this amount of property been forfeited in court, the avails to the United States would have been much less, if anything. Amounts realized from sales under section 63, act of July 13^ 1866.

The table is arranged according to the revenue A^alue of the States respectively. The total of this estimate may be increased yearly in proportion to the increase of population, business, and wealth, but probably not to exceed 5 percent. On the basis t)f this estimate the States of NCAV York, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky, being the largest producers and manufacturers of tobacco and whisky, Avill contribute $70,706,000, or 63 per cent, of the entire receipts, exclusive of stamps. 19 COMMISSIONER OF INTERN.A.L REVENUE.

Experience has shown, howcA^er, that a large number of applications are placed' on file as caveats, to occupy the ground and to deter other parties from moving. Yery many are speculatiA^e, and some, intended to be bona fide, fail, because, when brought to the test, the capital is Avanting. Probably, if all these applications should be granted, not more than half of them Avould be carried through to a complete organization. The amount of capital in the Western and Southern States, not permanently iuA^ested or actively employed in business of A^arious kinds, but immediately available for the purpose of organizing national banks, cannot be very large, and the impression that many millions of cash capital Avere awaiting the opportunity of iiiA^estment in national banking institutions has not been fully sustained. The provision made by the late act is undoubtedly ample for the supply of those States which have less than their proportion, and Avould probably suffice to supply all reasonable demands even if not restricted in its distribution. The propriet^^ of providing for the remoA^al of such restrictions after the expiration of one year from the date of the passage of the act is respectfully suggested. Under the provisions of sections 3, 4, and 5 of the act approA'ed July 12, 1870, authorizing the establishment of national banks for the issue of circulating notes redeemable in specie, but one bank has yet been established, the Kidder National Gold Bank, of Boston, Massachusetts, with a capital of $300,000. Information has been received that several other institutions of this character are in process of organization, or in contemplation, two or three of Avhich are in California. It was not anticipated that specie-paying banks would be established to any considerable extent,' at present, in those sections of the country where a paper currency, based upon the legal tender issues of the Government, already prevails; although it Avas, and is still, supposed that one or more gold banks might be established and successfully conducted in each of those cities on the Atlantic seaboard where a considerable foreign trade is carried on, and in which a certain amount of business is necessarily transacted upon a specie basis. If all the business of this kind that is carried on in the cities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore could be concentrated in one or two banking institutions in each of those cities, its extent Avould undoubtedly warrant the employment of a A^ery respectable amount for its exclusiA^e accommodation. Under the operation of the act of Congress approA^ed July 14,1870, '^ to require national banks going into liquidation to retire their circulating notes," tAventy banks, which had been nominally in liquidation for various periods of time, have deposited in the treasury of the United States legal-ten der notes for the redemption .of their outstanding circulation, and taken up the bonds pledged as security therefor. The amount of such deposits since the date of my last report is $2,401,910,and the amount of bonds, at their par value, thereby released is $2,756,000. All banks in liquidation except those in process of consolidation with other banks have now retired their circulation. 26 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Carefully prepared tables Avill be found in the appendix, as follows: 1st. Statement of amount and dilferent kinds of bonds held to secure circulation. 2d. Banks in the hands of receiA^ers. 3d. The number and amount of each denomination of bank notes issued, redeemed, and outstanding. 4th. The number of banks, ainount of capital, bonds, and circulation in each State and Territory. 5th, National banks in liquidation Avhich have deposited lawful money to redeem their circulation, and taken up their bonds. 6th. National banks in liquidation for the purpose of consolidating with other banks. 7th. List of expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870. 8th. List of clerks employed. 9th. Eeserve tables. Since the organization of this Bureau to the 1st day of October, ultimo, circulating notes more or less Avorn and mutilated haA^e been returned by . the banks, to be destroyed by burning, to the amount of $30,597,518. Of this sum, $17,048,119, or more than one-half the total amount, Avere returned during the last year. The rapidity with Avhich the national bank notes are becoming unfit for circulation, and are being returned for destruction in. order that they may be replaced' by new notes, is constantly increasing, requiring a constantl,y in creasing ,^force of clerks to attend properly and promptly to the assorting, counting, registration and final burning of the notes. In the effort to protect the public from the impositions of counterfeiters, Avhich is being made by the proper authorities, it would be Avell to throw eyeiy possible difficulty in the way of the circulation of counterfeit notes. For this purpose it is recommended that CA^ery national bank be required through its officers to stamp the word '^ counterfeit" upon every false, forged, or counterfeit national bank note that may be recognized as such on presentation at the counter of the bank. When the capital of a bank becomes seriously imiiaired by losses or otherwise, it Avould be desirable for the Comptroller of the Currency to be clothed Avith sufficient powder to require the bank to be wound up, or to have its capital made good, within a reasonable time. As the law stands, he can only prohibit the bank from declaring any dividends so long as the capital of the bank remains impaired, but the resources of a bank may be crippled and its usefulness destroyed bej^ond hope of rejiair, and. yet it may continue to live a sickly existence for years. In such cases, the bank should be required to make up the losses by an assessment on its stockholders, or to go into liquidation and be closed. The operations of the national banks throughout the country during the last year have been, characterized by prudence and exemption from disaster to an unusual extent. The profits haA^e not been so large as in former years, OAving to various causes, among which may be noted the decline in the premium on gold, a reduction in the amount of transactions in goA'ernment bonds and consequent falling off in commissions, and the fact that, owdng to the general shrinkage in values which has taken iilace, the banks generally haA^e realized their losses, and have charged off' the bulk of their bad debts. The result, howcA'er, may be regarded as, upon the whole, satisfactory. Yery thorough and rigid inves COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 27 tigati'on has been made by skilled accountants, commissioned as examiners, into the mode of doing business, character of the management, and the A^alue and condition of the assets of the banks during the year, and it has been ascertained that the bills and notes discounted are, to a remarkable extent, based upon bona fide transactions, while the accommodation loans are uniformly safe and Avell secured. The reserves required by laAV to be held, to secure the payment of circulation and deposits, are, as a rule, kept on hand, and the general aA^erage of such reserves is ordinarily considerably above the amount required. The limitation of loans to one-tenth of the paid in capital, a most wholesome restriction, is, in a la.rge majority of the banks, carefully obserA^ed, and the loans are almost uniformly Avell distributed. In very few instances are the directors allowed to monopolize to any considerable extent the facilities offered. Complaint is made from time to time, and from A^arious localities, that borrowers are compelled to pay more than the legal rate of interest for money, and doubtless the complaint is Avell founded. On this subject there is a practical suggestion or two that ma3' be profitably considered. If the interest on the boiids deposited to secure circulation, and tbe use of the circulation and depovsits, at the legal rate of interest, will not enable banks to pay taxes, expenses, and dividends equal to at least the current value of money where the bank is doing business, the legal rate Avill be transcended, or the bank Avill Avincl up. This may safely be taken for granted. An attempt to coraiiel the institution to keep within the limits, under such adverse circumstances, Avill result in forcing it into liquidation. l i m i n e cases out of ten where these complaints are made, the CAal complained of is caused b}^ the high rate of taxation imposed by State authority. Taxes enter into the cost of production, and are paid by the consumer -, this is just as true of money as of any other commodity. Formerly, when the bank circulation was issued and the business of the country was transacted by institutions incorporated by State legislatures, valuable immunities in the Avay of exemption from taxation Avere granted, in order that the banks might be able to furnish money to borroAvers at reasonable rates, ancl in most of the States the legal rate of interest was fixed Avith direct reference to the iirivileges granted. Capital invested in banks Avas practically exempted from taxation, in return for which immunity the banks were expected and required to lend money at certain specified rates of interest, Avhile veiy frequently individuals Avere allowed by laAv to lend money by special contract, at much higher rates. The rates established for banks, under the conditions referred to, still continue, and are sought to be enforced, but the immunities which enabled them to observe these rates have been taken, away. The privilege of issuing circulating notes is no more A-aluable as a franchise, under federal authority, than it always has been under State authority. The profits derived from it are commonly OA-erestimated. A fair estimate of the average percentage of profit on circulation Avill not much exceedfiA^eper cent., and this is just about the aA^erage rate of taxation paid by national banks; so that the profits derived from the business of banking depend mainly upon the amount of deposits, Avliich after all constitute the true basis of banking. Circulation—that is, money or its representatiA^e,is the creature of the Govern-. ment, and is, to be relied on as a source of profit only in the rudimentary stages of banking. The history of banking in the older and Avealthier countries of the Avorld furnishes abundant CAddence as to the truth of this statement. * 28 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The reports of 81 joint stock banks of Great Britain* of their operations during a part of the year 1869, illustrate the fact stated. Leaving out the Bank of England, Avliich furnishes the great bulk of the circulation used in the Unit(^d Kingdom, the banks reported employ an aggregate capital exceeding £42,000,000, and their net profits for six months of the year 1869 were somewhat in excess of £3,700,000, or at the rate of about nine per cent, per annum. Eeports of 62 banks for the six months succeeding the period embraced in the foregoing statement,t shoAv a capital of OA'er £30,000,000, Avith di\idends aA-eraging five and three-quarters per cent., and net profits not divided equal to one per cent. -, together, making the net profits of the ,62 banks, Avhose reports are published, at the rate of thirteen and a half per cent, per annuin. In the United States the accumulation of cash capital is comparatively small. As in. all new countries, nearly the entire capital is required for the transaction of active business and for the development of t h e resources ofthe country. The amount of deposits, therefore, or money at rest, is small in comparison with the actual material Avealth of the country -, but it is continually on the increase, and by its aid. the national banks are enabled to bring their earnings up to an aA^erage that has hitherto proved satisfactory to their stockholders. In view of all the facts, however, it seems desirable that the old relation between the rate of interest and the rate of taxation, established and observed by nearly all the States in. which banks of issue were authorized,, should not be entirely ignored with regard to national banks, and inasmuch as th.^ power of the States over the national banks, in these two important particulars, is exercised only with the consent of the General Government, it Avould be a wise precaution for Congress to fix such limitations as Avould prcA^ent unwise, unfriendly, or otherwise damaging legislation. Allusion has been made in former reports to the custom of payings interest on deposits by national banks. The practice existed long before any national banks had an existence, and they only continue to do Avhat their predecessors did before them, and what bankers everywhere consider themselves compelled to clo. The use of other people's nioney in the shape of deposits, without interest, or at a low rate of interest, has come to be considered a cardinal necessity of modern banking. There will ahvays be those ready tp accept its custody, assume all the risks, and iiay interest for its use, for a margin of profit ranging from one to three per cent. It is not alwaysthe strongest or wealthiest bank or banker Avho is Avilling to pay the highest rate for this use of other people's money. Ordinarily, judging of banks as of individuals, the one most in need of money off'ers the greatest inducements to depositors. In theory the custom is dangerous; in practice it is not always safe, but, nevertheless, it is. so thoroughly entrenched in its position by long observance, that any sweeping enactment prohibiting the payment of interest on deposits by national banks Avould be ev^aded in some Avay, or the banks would lose their deposits. There are scores of banks and bankers, not subject to the control of Congress, who woulcl rejoice ov-er such a prohibition as over the discomfiture of an enexny; yet there is one iioint that should be guarded. The reserves of the whole country axe held to a large extent in Boston, NeAV York, Philadelphia, ancl other large cities. These * Economist, May 21, 1870. t EcoBomist, Oct. 15, 1870. COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY. 29 reseiwes should be protected. They should be placed under such restrictions as would obA^iate all necessity for their use by the depository bank. If the institutions owning these reserves cannot afford to allow them to remain unemployed, so that they may be in reality Avhat they are in name, relief should be afforded in some other way. It is of Adtal importance to the country that no portion of the percentage, which the laAV requires banks to hold as a reserA^e on circulation and deposits, should be loaned out, subject to the vicissitudes and fiuctuations of men and property. There may be prosperous and easy times for 3'ears; but there may come a day when upon the ability of a single bank in NCAV York City to pay the deposits of its country bank correspondents—their reserA^es—will depencl the safety of the whole country. The banks of NCAV York City have paid as interest on. deposits, during the 3^ear ending with the 30tli of September, the sum of $2,546,639 10; the Boston banks, $588,272 58; the Philadelphia banks, $119,001 47; Avhile the aggregate sum paid by all the banks that alloAV interest on deposits is $6,486,172 '66.^ These large sums indicate the wide prcA^alence of the practice under consideration, and the difficulty that Avould be experienced in any attempt to eff'ect its entire abrogation. If by any nieans, hoAvever, the moneys held in the large cities, constituting the resein^es of the country banks, can be exemiit from the operation of this custom, the main point, and the one in Avhich, above all others, the entire public is interested, Avill be gained. ' The further consideration of this subject is submitted to the wisdom .of Congress. The necessity for some arrangement by which the notes of national banks may be assorted and returned to the scA^eral banks of issue for redemption is becoming more and more apparent, as the difficulty of dealing " with the worn ancl mutilated notes now in circulation is exxierienced. The arguments contained in former reports, in faA^or of a general redeeming agency in the city of NCAV York, will not be repeated or extended on the present occasion. The conviction is expressed, hoAvever, that if the banks were authorized to establish an institution of their own for that purpose, owned, controlled, and managed in their interest, they would find it greatly to their i)rofit to do so. Such an institution Avould also seiwe as the custodian of the reserves kept in New York, thereby exempting them from the risks incident to funds deposited in the ordinary way and drawing interest, and would perhaps obviate the necessity of specific legislation upon the subject of the payment of interest on deposits; while the benefit to the whole country, arising from a fiscal agency so truly national in its character, regulating the currency, the exchanges, and the ba-n king interests ofthe country, beyond the control of any ring or clique—because managed by all for the benefit of all—would be of the most substantial and enduring kind.

CUSTOMS DIVISION. Eeturns are now received from 139 districts and ports. These returns are distributed as nearly equal as practicable to thirteen different desks. For the x>ioper examination and adjustment of these accounts, clerks are required who have a knowledge of the tariff laws, and are also good practical accountants. The accounts of customs are received and adjusted monthly. These accounts include the duties on imi^orts, marine hospital dues, and duties on tonuage. The abstracts of duties on imi^orts in l^ew York, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, E"ew Orleans, Baltimore, and Portland, are very large, requiring a great amount of patient labor in comparing the entries with the tariff schedules, made up as those schedules are from the various acts of 1861, 1862, and 1864, and the several ameiidator,y acts. In all the smaller districts, which have no naval officer to certifj^ the abstracts, the manifest is forwaTded by the collector for each and every entry of merchandise, amounting, in districts like Portland, Yermont, Oswego, Detroit, &c., to hundreds, and even thousands, in a single month. These must all be examined as to the rate of duty, oath, stamp, &c.,'and compared with the abstract. After the abstracts are exa.mined and the differences noted, a statement of account is made, and the collector charged with the aggregates and credited by his deposits as shoAvn h j the covering warrants. The collectors of customs also render monthly accounts for expenses, of collecting the revenue, which are adjusted quarterly. In these accounts a.re included all payments to inspectors, weighers, and gaugers, appraisers, revenue boatmen, contingent expenses, salary of collectors, commissions, &c. Youchers for all these pa^aneiits must be compared with the lists of a.ppoi.iitment for the authority for payment and examined as to correct computation, oath, &c. ISText comes the account of official emoluments, in which the collector accounts for his fees, &c., and charges his payment for clerk-hire, stationer}^, office rent, &c. This account in large ports is rendered monthly, and in small ones quarterly, and adjusted yearly. Sepa-rate accounts have also to be stated in many of the districts for excess of de]30sits refunded, debentures paid, and expenses of the revenuecutter service. These are received monthly, and stated quarterly. In some cases these are very large. Monthly accounts are also received from nearly all the districts for steamboat fees and fines, penalties and forfeitures, Avhich are usually adjusted quarterly, and in some cases oftener. FIRST AUDITOR. 69 The collectors of customs also act as disbursing agents for expenses of marine hospital establishment and the light-house establishment, accounts for which are received monthly and quarterly, and stated quarterly. There are also many special accounts^ sach as iDayments for the salaries of janitors, and the distribution of fines and penalties. Also the cases for the refunded duties exacted in excess, tonnage duty refunded, judgments satisfied, &c. JUDICIARY. This division is highly important, embracing the adjustment of all judiciary accounts. First. Accounts of United States marshals for expenses of Ilnited States courts, aud for their fees for service of process, &c., in all United States cases under the fee-bill of Febraary 26, 1853, and amendments thereto. The fee-bill of 1853 is general in its application to all States and Territories, but the practice of the courts in the different jurisdictions is not uniform, and hence almost every marshal has his own construction of the fee-bill in making charges in his accounts To adjust these accounts the closest scrutiny and thorough acquaintance with the usages and decisions of the accounting officers, a fa^miliar acquaintance with their interpretations of the fee-bill, as also the practice in the several districts, is essentially necessary. The business in the United States courts has nearly doubled since the passage ofthe internal revenue law, and the closing of the rebellion. The accounts have assumed largelyincreased xDroportions in comparison with what they were prior to 1863. Second. Accounts of district attorneys for attendance upon United States courts and upon commissioners' examinations, for their travel and fees in all United States cases. Third. Accounts of clerks of the United States courts for their attendance, and for fees in all United States cases. Fourth. Accounts of United States commissioners for fees, &c. In the examination and adjustment of all these accounts, it.is necessary not only to hold the fee-bill in memory, but also to be acquainted with all of the manjr decisions of the Attorneys General, andof the Secretary of the Interior, adid to be able readily to apply the same to any charge that may be presented, REDEMPTION AND INTEREST DIVISION, To this division is assigned the settlement of accounts of the Treasurer of the United States, assistant treasurers, United States depositaries, and other fiscal agents of the Treasury Bepartment, for the payment of interest on the public debt, Treasury bonds and Government obligations, funded or otherwise, which may be classed as follows: Registered bonds,—At the close of the fiscal year the amount outstanding of this class of securities, cuiTency and coin, was $904,435,270. These accounts, payments of which are made semi-annually upon schedules prepared for the several fiscal agents by the Eegister of the Treasury, are closed and transmitted to this office at the end of sixty days from the date of payment for settlement. The bonds being .held, principally, by banking and other corporations, executors^ administrators of estates, trustees and guardians of minors and non-residents of the country, and the interest receipted by attorneys and their substitutes, presents at once an idea of the magnitude of the items involved, and the patience and critical examination necessary to protect the public interests in their 70 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. proper adjustment. During the year there were sixty-seven coin and twenty currency accounts of this class examined, adjusted and stated, involving in the aggregate the sum of $47,791,508 06, to which may be included, as part of the clerical labors of the office for the same period, but which does not enter into the statistics of this report, accounts examined but not stated, amounting to $10,965,723. The nuniber of general and permanent powers of attorney and testamentary evidence of the administration of estates connected with the settlement of registered interest accounts which have been received, examined, and approved, registered and filed, and listed for the use of fiscal agents, amounts to 7,690. Coupon bonds.—The amount outstanding of this class of bonds on the SOth of June, the interest of which is payable semi-annuall}^ in coin, amounts to $1,267,972,750.. The change recently made in the rendition of these accounts, requiring the principal depositaries to make weeldy and others monthly remittances, involves additional labor upon the office in separating the various issues, and iireiiaring for entry on the Eegister's books a detailed statement of the amounts of interest paid and to be charged to each loan, with the number and amount of coupons redeemed. The number of accounts stated of this class during the year was 281, embracing 4,273,174 vouchers, and amounting to .$65,672,026 20. Eedemptio7i of United States stoclcs.—The amount of stock of the loans of 1847 and 1848, and Texan indemnity bonds, redeemed during the year, principal and interest, was $81,700. Eight accounts. JSfaval pension fund.—The araount of this fund, upon which the annual interest of 3 per cent, is paid in July and January, amounts in principal to $14,000,000, and interest to $400,000. Two accounts stated. The floating debt or currency obligations, consisting of treasuiy notes of various issues, certificates of indebtedness, and certificates of deposit for temporary loan, the number of accounts examined and stated of this class during the year was 235, amounting to $9,293,250 principal, and $2,461,676 12 interest. Treasury obligations destroyed.—The number of accounts stated, and of which certificates were issued in favor of the Treasurer, was 259, amounting in the aggregate to $272,749,078 ^b, MINT ACCOUNT AND OTHERS. Condensed statement.—Bullion accounts of the mint of. the United States and branches and assay office, New York; accounts of ordinary expenses of the same; accounts of the secretaries of the Territories; accounts of the governors of the Territories; accounts of supervising and other agents of the Treasury Department, and of officers of the Army for captured and abanidoned property; quarterly salary certificates ; accounts for defense of suits in the Court of Claims. The bullion accounts of the Mint, Philadelphia, branch mint. Sail Francisco, and assay office^ IsTew York, are voluminous, and the exami-. nation of the various accounts tedious. The abstract of deposits, in connection with the warrants of the Director or superintendent for payment, are first examined and checked, then the various accounts of the treasurer, melter and refiner, and coiner, under the folloAving heads: ^'Deposit account," ^ gold bullion,'' ^'silver bullion," '-cent bullion," ''cent ^ deposit account," ''gold coinage," '^silver coinage," ''cent coinage," " melter and refiner's gold," " melter and refiner's silver," " melter and refiner's cent bullion," '' coiner's gold," '' coiner's silver," " coiner's five-cent FIRST AUDITOR. 71 account," " coiner's three-cent account," " coiner's bronze or one and two cent account," " unpaid depositor's," " gold coins for assay," " silver coins for assay," " silver profit and loss," " cent profit and loss," " bullion deposit profit and loss," "profit and loss," "bullion fund," "balances," and, finally, all the above are blended in the " summary statement*" The ordinary expense accounts are for the incidental expenses, wages of workmen, and salaries of officers and clerks of the Mint and branches; accounts of the secretaries of the Territories for comxiensation and mileage of members, and incidental exiDcnses ofthe legislative assemblies of the Territories ; accounts of- the governors of the Territories for contingent expenses of executive officers; quarterly salary certificates for the salaries of judges of the Suiireme Court, United States district judges, United States attorneys and marshals, governors and secretaries of the Territories, supervising and local inspectors of steamboats and vessels; accounts of supervising and assistant special agents of the Treasuiy Department for the collection of captured and abandoned propert}^, and officers of the Army who have r«eceived and disposed of property of this class. These accounts consist of three classes: First. Money accoimts, showing the-receipts from and disbursements far and on account of captured and abandoned property.—In the adjustment of this account careful examinations of all returns of sales, and abstracts., of rents received, are made, the abstracts of disbursements are examined to see that no payments are made to agency aids, local or assistant , special agents, Avithout the approval of the appointment and rate of compensation by the Secretary of the Treasury, and that the proceeds of ' no property are released except on proper authority, and that bonds of. indemnity are filed. Second. The cotton accoimt.—In this account the agents are charged ij and credited with all the cotton received by them. The date of the receipt of each lot, from whom received or taken, the marks and number of bales are given, date of disposal, how disposed of; [if sold, proceeds „, stated; if transferred to another agent, that agent is charged with it;., or if released, the a;gent must file his authority for the release; all the . vouchers required in the adjustment of a money account are required in,, this. The number of bales of cotton embraced in accounts of this class.; adjusted in this office for the last fiscal j^ear was 10,915. Third. Miscellaneous property accounts.—The agents are charged Avith..> all property of a miscellaneous character received by them, and the dis-, position accounted for the same as the cotton accounts; accounts for • expenses incurred in the defense of suits in the Court of Claims in rela-tion to captured and abandoned property. WAREHOUSE AND BOND ACCOUNT. The regulations of 1857, section 564, required that officers of the cus- . toms should account for the duties entered at their respective districts.,, for warehousing or re-warehousing, with the same particularity of detail as they were previously required to account for the duties on goods entered ibr consumption; and they w^ere also required to keep and render • their warehouse accounts monthly to the First Auditor of the Treasury. . The latter regulation,, however, Avas, or became, a dead letter; and collectors onl}^ accounted for duties on merchandise warehoused as they Avere collected. This old regulation was reviA^ed by circular Ko. 27, is- sued under date of October 1, 1867. Under this circular the attention of officers of the customs was directed to the aboA^e regulation, and they, were notified to render full and accurate warehouse and bond accounts ; from July 1, 1867. 72 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The object of these accounts is to trace every importation on which duties are not immediately paid on arrival, until such duties are paid or until the goods are exported out of the country. This requires a detailed account of the receipt and cancellation of all Avarehouse, rewarehouse, transportation, and exportation bonds, a full account having from sixteen to eighteen formal statements. In this manner an importation is traced from the iiort of original entry, through perhaps two or more other districts o f t h e United States, to thelast port, where, the duties are paid, the merchandise entered for exportation, or the bond forfeited and delivered to the district attorney for prosecution. A division Avas organized in this office on December 1, 1867, and an immediate examination Avas entered upon of the accounts rendered since the publication of the aforesaid circular. ScA^enty-seven districts have rendered accounts; the remainder liaA^e no transactions relating to warehousing, and are required only to render monthly statements of the fact, Avhich are filed in place of accounts. Many of these accounts, as from 'New York, Boston, San Francisco, I^.ew Oiieans, Philadelphia, Baltimo.re, and Portland, are very large, and the examination requires an acquaintance Avith the rates of duty assessed by many tariff' acts upon all articles of merchandise imported, and also Avith the numerous forms and regulations belonging to the Avarehouse system. ACCOUNTS OF THE TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES. The accompanying statement will exhibit the nature of the accounts, with the amount of moneys involved, audited from J u l y l , 1869, to June 30,1870. , The magnitude of the statement will couA^ey some idea of the labor performed in the adjustment of .the accounts. The accounts of the Treasurer of the United :Sta;tes for the. general receipts and expenditures of the GoA^ernment are made up and rendered quarterly. The account current (a A'^olume of some three hundred iiages) has to be carefuil}^ compared with a certified account received from the Eegister of all Avarrants dralAvn on him, or in his faA^or, during the quarter, the amount re^maining unpaid and outstanding of iireAT.ous quarters, and the amount of such Avarrants for which he claims credit as being' paid, the amount of balances in the various depositories, &c. All warrants drawn on the Treasurer are paid by drafts, and he cannot receive credit for the payment of a single Avarrant unless it is accompanied by its api)ropriate draft, properly indorsed by the payee. The examination and comparison of these drafts are intricate andiaborious. The internal rcA^enue Avarrants at this time fully equal one-half of the yearly issue of warrants prior to the rebellion, many of which require the critical examination of from one to over three hundred drafts. The amount embraced in the accounts of the Treasurer of the United States, adjusted Avithin the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, is $842,898,788-97. The mileage and compensation of members of the House of Eepresentatives are paid by the Treasurer on certificates of the Speaker of the House, which are the Treasurer's A^ouchers and upon Avhich he receives credit in the adjustment of his account as agent. This account has to be carefully compared with the journal of the.Sergeant-at-arms, Avho keeps the individual accounts of the members, &c. The account of the Secretary of the Senate is even more intricate, owing .to the irregular sessions of that body. FIRST AUDITOR. 16 SALARY ACCOUNTS. Under this head is embraced the adjustment of the accounts (with two or three exceptions) of disbursing officers for payment of salaries to all iiersofis in the departments at Washington who receive a regular compensation, with some accounts also for temporary and additional clerk-hire. These accounts include the pay-rolls of the Treasury Department, State, War, Navy, Interior, and Post Office Departments, and of the Attorney General, (now the Department of Justice;) also, the accounts of Superintendent of Weights and Measures, Clerk of the House of Eepresentatives, Secretary of the Senate, Librarian of Congress, Congressional Printer, all offices of assistant treasurers of the United States and United States depositaries, private secretaries, &c., ofthe President ofthe United States, salaries, <&c., of Metropolitan Police, and all accounts ofthe United States Coast Suiwey. CONTING-ENT ACCOUNTS, ETC., includes the contingencies of all the executive departments, Treasury, War, Navy, and Interior; contingencies of the House of Eepresentatives under different appropriations ; all the accounts of the Department of Agriculture, salaries, distribution of seeds, &c., under different appropriations; all the accounts ,of the Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds, embracing repairs and preservation of all the public works in the city of Washington, about one hundred different approxiriations; all the accounts of the disbursing agent for new dome, Capitol extension, new jail, enlargement of .the congressional library, grading the public grounds around the Capitol, &c.; all the accounts of the agent, &c., for the library of Congress, botanic garden, &c., fourteen appropriations; expense of the national loan; contingent expenses of the assistant treasurers of the United States at New York, Boston, New Orleans, Charleston, DeuA'^er City, San Francisco, &c.; contingent expenses of the Executive Mansion ; contingent expenses of Congressional Printer; accounts for repairs, &c.; furniture for Treasury Department, act of April 7, 1866. SEPARATE CLASSIFICATION OF ACCOUNTS. The accounts settled by this division are various, and preclude any general, classification. During the last fiscal year the whole number of accounts settled in this office in this branch of its business was 1,683, involving an expenditure of $5,027,918 25. The number for the present fiscal year Avill be largely increased. The following classification embraces the several accounts examined and settled: Construction and repairs of public buildings, furniture for public buildings, public printing. Government As^dum, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, steamboat inspectors, life-saving stations, contingent expenses of United States depositories, Columbia Hospital, timber agents; many other accounts of not less importance, that cannot well be classified, are settled. In the recording division of the office there are employedfiA^eclerks, whose duties consist in recording the reports and certificates of the Auditor to the Comptroller of the Treasury and Commissioner of Customs, on the accounts accruing in the office and the correspondence incident thereto. There is a large amount of miscellaneous business, much of it of great 74 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. importance, requiring the highest clerical qualifications, which has no appropriate classification with any of the divisions previously described, that is dispatched by the chief clerk. I knoAv of no higher merit of those engaged in the service of government, and more deserAang of commendation and recompense, than the faithful and efficient performance of the entire range of duty in all its delicate aind responsible relations. Justice and expediency .may bring this appropriately Avithin the proAance of legislation as worthy of the appreciation that honors fidelity, rewards merit, and imparts moral strength to government. It is not less a iileasure than a duty to state that the clerks of this office haA^e performed all their official responsibilities Avith industry, capability, and fidelity.

Monthly tabular statement showing the amount of business transacted in the office during the month, and the number of accounts remaining unsettled at the close of the month, transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. Monthly report of absence from duties of employes in this office, with reasons therefor, transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. Pay-rolls, upon which payment Avas made to the employes of this office, prepared semi-monthly, in duplicate. There has been no new class of claims presented during the year, but that for bounty under the decision of the Supreme Court of March 14, SECOND AUDITOR. 91 1870, in favor of soldiers Avho enlisted for three years under the call of the President of May 3, 1861, for 42,034 volunteers, and who were discharged for disability other than Avounds before serAing two years. Of this class 2,253 claims haA^e been presented, which are suspended for congressional action. By General Order No. 15, of the War Department, of May 4, .1861, the volunteers called for as above were to be organized into forty regiments, and each non-commissioned officer and private was promised a bounty of $100 when discharged. As the act of July 22, 1861, was manifestly intended to apply to all Avho had enlisted, as well as to those who might thereafter enlist under it, and made it a condition for the payment of bounty to a discharged soldier that " h e shall have served for a period of two years," no distinction was made by the accounting officers in the denial of bounty to such as had not served two years, between those who enlisted prior and those Avho .enlisted subsequently to thepassage of the law. The Supreme Court, however, decided that inasmuch as Congress, by the resolution of August 6, 1861, legalized the proclamation of the President of May 3, 1861, and the orders and acts done under it, the promise of bounty became a p a r t of the contract of enlistment of the troops then called for, notwithstanding the terms of the act of July 22, 1861. While the proclamation of the President and General Orders Nos. 15 and 25 only contemxDlated the raising of forty regiments, it api)ears that eighty-tivo regiments were organized and accepted 'jirior to July 22; ami as the Adjutant General is unable to designate the forty regiments referred to, the accounting officers Avill not be able to settle any of this class of claiins until after Congress, by legislation, shall have placed all volunteers enlisting, for three years, prior to July 22,1861, and who were discharged before serving two years, upon the same footing as to bounty. Many complaints liaA^e been received from claimants in Europe of the unfaithfulness and extortion of their agents, both at home and in this country; and I have been led to the conclusion that it w^ould be for the interest of all foreign claimants and of the Government if all claims for arrears of pay, bounty, &c., were required by law to be presented through the United States consuls, and that payment be made through the same channels. By this method the Government would secure itself more efiectually against imposition by fraudulent claimants, and at the same time make sure that its obligations are properly discharged. Those, claims are generally small, the claimants poor and ignorant of our laws, and easily imposed upon by persons who are designing and unscrupulous. I respectfully commend the subject to the consideration of Congress. During the past year some changes have been made for the better in the organization of the office, and the work in all its departments is progressing in a satisfactory manner. It affords ine great pleasure to speak of the interest manifested in its business by all the gentlemen employed, and I commend their general ability, industry, and faithfulness. For the purpose of doing them an act of justice, and at the same time to furnish a reply to inquiries frequently made in relation to the character and amount of Avork done in this office, the expenses of the war,.&c., I have prepared the folloAving tables. The first is a condensed statement of all the settlements of money accoimts and claims from March 4, 1817, when the office was organized^ until June 30, 1861, a period of forty-four years. This time is divided 92 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. into t V periods, so as to show at a glance the amount passed u]ion prior AO and subs.equent to the Mexican war. Prior to the time when I assumed charge of the office the accounts were not so kept as to leave a record of all the Avork done, and it is therefore not possible to give a statement beyond that of the money settlements. The second table is a condensed statement of the number and amount of money settlements by the difierent divisions of the office, the number of property accounts adjusted, the number of claims rejected, the number of examinations and certificates to the Paymaster General and Com-. missioner of Pensions, and other incidental work performed in each y^ar during the past nine years: Muonber of accounts settled from March 4, 1817, to June 30,1861. ® CO Ordnance, medical, and miscellaneous.

From the establishment of the office in 1817 to the close of the fiscal year ending Jiine 30, 1847, the number of money accounts settled was 37,408. The average number of clerks employed Avas 15, making a yearly average of 83 accounts settled by each clerk. During the fourteen years from June 30, 1847, to June 30, 1861, the number of money accounts and claims settled was 41,142. The average number of clerks employed Avas 26, and the average number of settlements by each was 113 for each year. From the 30th of June, 1861, to the close of the last fiscal year, a period of nine years, the number of cash accounts allowed and settled Avas 773,696. To this number I add 143,820 rejected, because every claim rejected usually involves as much labor and care in the examination as a claim that is allowed and paid, making an aggregate of 917,516. During this period fhe average number of clerks employed was 286, and the average number of settlements per clerk was 356 for each year. Although the records of the office afi'ord no means for definitely determining the number of property accounts settled prior to 1861, a careful examination, based u]ion such data as can be found, indicates that t h e . ratio of increase in the number of settlements since the commencement of the late war is about double Avhat it is in the cash accounts. Assuming this to be the fact, the number of property accounts settled annually by each clerk, from 1817 to June 30, 1847, was 39, and from 1847 to 1861, 58, while during the last nine years the average has been 306. The total average of both classes of settlements per man for the three periods named Avould be: From March 4, 1817, to June 30, 1847, 122; from June 30, 1847, to June 30,1861, 171 j from June 30, 1861, to June 30, 1870, 662. It will be found that, including the rejected claims, nearly ttvelve times as many money accounts and claims have been settled in nine years as Avere settled in the preceding/or^i/-/oitr; and when it is remembered that during that long period the military claims were mainly those of the regular Army, settled by rolls and returns prepared by officers thoroughly educated in their duties, and that but few changes Avere made in ,the pay, allowances, and emoluments of men and officers, Avhile during the recent war the Army consisted chiefly of A^olunteers, that the rolls and returns were necessarily defective, and that the rates of compensation and the laws relating to bounties were frequently changed, it can easily be understood that many difficulties have attended the settlement of claims during the last nine years which were entirely unknown during the former period, and which imposed additional labor in their iuA^estigation and demanded a larger degree of vigilance, faithfulness, and care. As very full memoranda accompany the tables, showing the condition of the business in charge of the several divisions of the office, I have not deemed it necessary to refer more particulaxly to either of them. I am, sir, very respectfully, E. B. FRENCH, Auditor, Hon. G E O R G E S. BOUTAVELL, Secretary of tlie Treasury, • REPORT OF THE THIRD AUDITOR. REPORT Oii' THE -THIRD AUDITOR OF THE TREASURY. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Third Auditgr^s Office, October 22, 1870. SIR : In compliance with instructions from your office, and the reqairements of law, I have the honor to transmit herewith the folloAving report of the business operations of this ofiice for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, and also for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30^ 1871. BOOK-KEEPERS^ DIYISION. The duties dcA^olving upon this division are, in general, to keep the appropiiation and money accounts of the office. Three sets of double-entry books are kept. Into the first are posted the accounts of disbursing officers and agents of the Quartermaster^s and Engineer Departments of the Army, and the accounts of the various loyal States for expenses incurred during the late rebellion; the second contains the accounts of the Subsistence Department, Bureau of Eefugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, and pension agents of the Government; the third set relates to other appropriations made by Congress coming under the supervision of the Third Auditor. ^ In addition to the foregoing, debit and credit accounts are kept as folloAvs: Avith the Second Comptroller,'of all settlements referred to him for revision; and with the War and Interior Departments, of all reporti^ forwarded to them for requisitions. From the books of this divisioB are furnished the charges upon which are based the settlements of money accounts of the various disbursing officers of the Government. Here also is kept a complete record and fair copy of all requisitions passing through the office. . y The annexed statement of the financial oi)erations of the office during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, also for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, exhibits the amounts drawn on specific appropriations except those under direction of the Chief Engineer of the Army, which are aggregated and entered under the general heading, ^ Engineer De^ partment." I t also shows the repayments into the treasury for the same period. The average number of clerks engaged in this division during the period embraced in this report has been eight, and that number noAv constitutes the active force of the division. The number of requisitions draAvn on the Secretary of the Treasury by the Secretaries of War and Interior for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, is 3,773, amounting to $91,107,151 58, as follows: .

In obtaining this result, a vast amount of labor was required, as will appear from the following items, viz : Number Number Numher Number Number of vouchers examined during the y e a r . . . ' of pages of differences and copy of same written of letters written of calls for charges against officers of pages of abstracts furnished :'. 1,682,107 69,144' 41,049' 10,227 9,600* Besides a large amount of miscellaneous work connected with the re-^ ceiving, registering,filing,withdrawing,and forwardingof accounts,and preparing, registering, and filing of personal charges, transcribing registers, &c., which cannot well be exhibited in the tabular report. Through the section having in charge the collection of balances due the United States, 246 officers have been notified of the condition of their accounts^ and in 144 cases the sureties of bonded officers have been notified when the officer himself neglected to settle his accounts: 4 cases have been reported to the Solicitor of the Treasury for suit; 330 officers, with an aggregate indebtedness against them of $30,969,768 52, have not yet taken the necessary steps to obtain a settlement of their accounts. I t will be observed tha,t the number of accounts and returns on hand June 30, 1869, was 21,026, and tbe number remaining on hand June 30^ 1870, is 10,964; showing a reduction ofthe nuinber on hand at the end of the fiscal year of 10,062; and, judging from the number of settlements made during the year, it would be reasonable to believe that all the accounts and returns could be settled during the incoming year. Such, however, is not the case, asit appears that the accounts of more than 5,000 officers, and the returns of more than 9,000 officers, are now in the incorrect files, awaiting ^^corrections^^ and ^^explanations,'^ on which supplemental settlements can be based; and it is ascertained that more than 60,000 of the accounts and returns rendered during thelate rebellion are yet in the Quartermaster General's Office awaiting the administrative scrutiny of that officer, prior to their transmission to this office for settlement. It is believed that quite a large number of accounts and returns will be closed under the provisions of the act ^^to authorize the settlement of the accounts of officers ofthe Army and iSTavy," approved June 23,1870. By reason ofthe period which has intervened since the close of the war, increasingly great difficulty is experienced in obtaining the present address of those formerly officers of the army, in order to obtain the necessary data on Avhich to base final settlements of accounts; and as officers who have in any way become accountable for public nioney or property cannot obtain the pay due them until a final settlement of . their accounts has been reached, it will readily be perceived that the interests of the xmblic service, as well as Justice to those who, in the hour of their country's peril, rushed to the rescue, demand that all possible expedition should be used to obtain an early adjustment of all accounts growing out of the war. It would therefore appear to be desirable that quite as large a clerical force be employed in the adjustment of these accounts during the incoming year as has been employed during the year just closed. The force now employed in the quartermasters' division, is 130 clerks. SUBSISTENCE DIVISION. This division audits the accounts of all commissaries and acting commissaries of subsistence in the Army, whose duties are to purchase the provisions and stores necessary for the feeding of the Army, and see to their proper distribution. These commissaries render monthly money accounts, with proper vouchers, for disbursements of thefundsintriist^d THIRD 103" AUDITOR. to them, together with a provision return and vouchers showing the disposition of provisions and stores purchased and received during each month. These accounts are received monthly through the office of the Commissary General of Subsistence, and are every six months (or oftener, if the officer ceases to disburse) examined and audited in this division, and the money accounts and vouchers, together with a certified statement of their condition, referred to the Second Comiitroller of the Treasury for his decision thereon. Upon their receipt back from the Comptroller with the statement approved, the officers are then officially notified of the result of said examinations, and are called upon by this office to adjust or explain any omissions or errors that may have beeii discovered. The money and provision accounts, together with all A^ouchers and papers belonging thereto, are, after exaniination, placed in the settled files of this division for future reference, and remain permanently in the custody of this office. There have been received and registered during the year 3,263 money accounts of officers disbursing in the Subsistence Department, involving the expenditure of $7,497,015 75. During the same period, 2,850 accounts (containing 49,004 vouchers) were audited and reported to the Second Comptroller of the Treasury, involving the expenditure of $§,982,931 13. In connection with the above, there were received and registered during the. year 2,799 provision returns; and within the same period 2,750 provision returns (containing 53,432 vouchers) were examined and adjusted. The total number of vouchers contained in the accounts examined was 102,436.

Since the end of the fiscal year 1870, Congress has changed the mode of paying pensions, (act July 8, 1870,) which nearly doubles the amount of labor to be performed in this division, and Avill require nearly double the force formerly employed. The present mode of paying pensions under the new law requires pensioners to be paid four times a year, instead of semi-annually as heretofore. The pension agent is required to furnish the pensioner a blank, which is to be executed, and duplicate receipts to be signed before a magistrate, and upon return of this to the agent he is required to send a check payable to the pensioner's order, direct to the address named in the voucher, thus entirely doing awaj^ with the practice and use of attorneys to collect the aniount due. During the short time this new pension law has been in operation, the effect has been Avonderful; fewer complaints haA^e been made in regard to frauds, and it would seem that the pensioners get more and the attorneys less of the amounts paid for the benefit of these wards ofthe Government. So far as I am able to learn from those interested,its operations meet with their approbation, and when it becomes fully understood the results Avill be better cippreciated. .ENGINEERS' DIVISION.

O THIRD AUDITOR. 117 THE F I L E S . An examinati(m of the files of this ofhce shows that the settlements from its organization in March, 1817, to the xiresent time are contained in two rooms in the east front of the Treasury building, extending nearly through the wliole length of it, an aggregate length of 264 feet by a Avidth of 30 feet. At present the shelving c*apacity is equal to 13,200 lineal feet. An additional room on the third floor is now being fitted up with shelves for files, and, when completed, will afford 1,940 feet of shelving, or about one-seventh of the space now in use. The three rooms, it will be seen, contain nearly three miles of shehang, and it is estimated that tlie unsettled accpunts and returns now in the office would completely fill the new room, the others being already filled. The pension accounts are now A^ery large, comprising nearly 400,000 A^ouchers per annum, and under the new law will be about double that number, or 800,000 A^ouchers per annum. Up to January 1865, these accounts Avere separated from the others, and filed by States and agencies: since that date they have been kept in numerical order with the commissary accounts, Avith which they are numbered. I think it practicable, howCA^er, to separate pension accounts from the commissary acccmnts, and remove them to the new file room. The space thus cleared in the old rooms would probably suffice until the new room shall be filled with pension accounts yet to be settled. The rooms now used for files are A^ery unsuitable for the purpose, especially for those Avhich have to be constantly referred to, being immediately under the roof, and Avithout any side windows. They are.A^ery cold in winter and intensely hot in summer, with scarcely any ventilation, and at all seasons very uncomfortable. As the skj'lights fail to afford sufficient light, the gas which Ave are compelled to use greatly intensifies the heat. It is suggested that only old accounts, or such as are seldom required to be examined, should be kept in these rooms. The accounts fpr which additional shelving and space are required are constantly accumulating, cA^ery day adding to their number and bulk. I have stated above the space which they occupy; and their Aveight is estimated at 200,000 pounds, or 100 tons. The nuniber and size of the accounts of quartermasters and commissaries of subsistence to be received in future cannot be computed with, so hear an approach to accurac}^ as the pension accounts; but it is safe to estimate that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1871, besides the new room above mentioned, an additional space equal to a room of 50 feet by 15 feet will be required. It is probable that the space now being made available for files will be filled in six^ or eight months, after which it Avill be indispensable to have additional iooni, and timely steps should be taken to see that they are provided. In the diAdsion of this Bureau for the auditing of claims filed under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1849, for the loss of horses, &c., Avhile in the military service of the government, many just claims are rejected because they are not embraced in any of the classes specified. For example, there is no provision made for the payment of claims for the loss of horses ridden to death in carrying dispatches or on forced marches, in obedience to orders, or stolen while picketed, or killed while being transported on railways, or injured Avhile being so transported, and abandoned in consequence of such injuries, or lost in consequence of other accidents, and many other losses that cannot AVCII be specified in an act. These losses were incident to the service and occurred without any fault on the part of the owner. 118 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. I would suggest that the act be so amended that payment will be provided for all losses of horses that are incident to the service and without any negligence or fault on the part of the owner and when he was in the line of his duty. I fully indorse and would again call attention to the recommendations of former Auditors as to the necessity of a statute of limitations to all claims against the government. Each succeeding year proves the urgent necessity of some act of this character which shall ^x. a period Avlien litigation of such claims shall cease. I would also renew the suggestion contained in the report of my immediate predecessor, (Hon. E. W. Clarke,) ofthe 15th October, 1869, as to the importance and necessity for the interests of the government of a law library for the use of the claims diAdsion of this Bureau, this to be made up of books needed in this division. I am satisfied that a small expenditure in this Avay Avould be of great benefit to the public service. It was eixpected that the amount of business in the quartermasters^ division would have be°en worked off by the end of the present year, so as to admit of a reduction in the clerical force of the Bureau, but I find that whatever reduction of force can be made in the quartermasters' division will be required in the pension division, in consequence of the act of Congress of July 8, 1870, which changes the method of ])aying pensions, making them payable quarterly instead of semi-annually, thus doubling the work of the pension division. On the 1st of August I transferred ten clerks from the quartermasters' to the pension division, and think it Avill be necessary to further incre;ase the force employed in this division, which I propose doing by transferring clerks from other divisions wdiere their serAdces are not so necessary, and in this way aA'Oid any increase in the general force of the Bureau. It is but just to say that the clerks in this Bureau have generally been attentive to tjieir duties, correct in their deportment, and useful and diligent in the Avork assigned them. Duiing thefiv<calyear ending June 30, 1870, the female copyists have copied and compared 28,986 pages of manuscript; copied 7,445 and compared 7,500 letters; indexed 34,712 names; registered 672 money differences and 4,154 property differences. And during the quarter ending September 30, 1870, tliey have copied and compared 6,061 pages of manuscript; copied 1,266 letters; compared 2,686 letters; indexed 5,082 names; registered 179 moneydifferences and 1,109 property differences. 1 deem it proper in this connection to ask attention to the fact that.heads of divisions in this office Avho hold responsible positions do not receive the grade of salary to which their positions should entitle them. In some other Bureaus clerks who hold positions of similar grade and responsibility are paid far larger salaries. In this office heads of divisions are paid salaries of from $1,600 to $1,800, Avhile in theofficeof the Treasurer of theUnited States heads of divisions are paid $2,200. There is not, so far as I can see, any good reason why tliis discrepancy should exist, and I recommend that the salaries of heads of divisions in this offline, upon AAdiom devolve duties Avhich require sound judginent, a knowledge of theJaws, and a general acquaintance with governmental business, may be increased to a sum commensurate Avith the grave resiionsibilities Avliich devolve ui)on them.

Number Number Number Number of of of of letters AA^yitten dead letters registered licenses registered checks agaiust accounts ordered : -., 1 1 1 937 272 322 256 In addition to the above, Mr. Davis has made up the various statements and 'reports called for by Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury 5 kept the record of appointuients, resignations, removals, and absences; received and distributed t.he stationery used by the ofiice5 and discharged the duties of disbursing clerk. An inspection of these tables will show a gratifying aniount of work performed during the last fiscal, year, in proportion .to the nuinber of clerks employed, notwithstanding an unusual degree of sickness Avhich lias prevailed. For the purposes of economy and dispatch of business, as the accumulation occasioned by the war rendered such a step feasible, the allotment division and the pension and marine division have been consolidated Avitli the paymaster's division. * Although the above statement shoM'S that there were no acuounts remaining on baud in the navy agent's division June 30, 1870, it is proper to state that there are a large nuraber of per.sonal and other accounts standing open on the ledgers'. These accounts are not charged as received until they are taken up and adjusted. • . 126 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. The unadjusted balances of nearly four millions of dollars which. I mentioned in my annual report of last year, and which had been gradually accumulating for half a century, have now been definitely tra>nsferred to proper ledgers, and many of them collected. Their reimbursement to the government will be sought Avith all possible diligence and Xiromptitude. ' IJuring the year I have opened an ^'appropriation adjustment'^ account, which has met with much approbation. In consequence of disbursing otficers being on a cruise, or at a foreign station, they are frequently compelled to expend the money drawn from one appropriation tor the benefit of sorae other. The general purpose of this account, and its chief practical feature, is that at any moment.Avheii it ma^^ be required the liabilities between appropriations thus arising can at once be shown. The manner of consolidating into one account the balances Avhich Avere before left open in each account settled not only facilitates the giving all desirable inlormation, but makes a great saving of time in the A^arious oifices of the departments through Avhich transfer requisitions pass. The cases of the delinquent nav^y paymasters and navy agents to which I adverted last year have, in as many instances as possible, been brought to a conclusion so far as this ofiice is concerned, and the accounts duly made up for suit placed in the hands of the Solicitor of the Treasury Department. In addition to these civil suits against these paymasters, the Navy Department is also trying them by court-martial as criminals. In alluding to these officers again, and as'a degree of neAvspaper notoriety has been given to the defalcations mentioned, I take pleasure in renewing the tribute of praise I have heretofore paid to the paymasters of the Navy as a class, and testif3^ to their ability and integrity, their courtesy as gentlemen, and their efiiciency as oificers. The settlements of their accounts, Avhich I am constantly making, justify this indorsement; and it is probably a fact, that no set ot* disbursing officers in any country, or under any circumstances, have expended so much money with ^nore correctness or less loss to the Grovernment than the navy paymasters. It is not the less true, hovvcA^^er, that defalcations have occurred and instances of dishonesty taken i)lace. These facts have led me to reexamine the established and current methods of keeping accounts, to institute new modes, and to devise increased means of holding disbursing otficers to a more frequent and more stringent accountability. The same thing has been done in regard to the payment of allotments, and to prevent frauds ih reference to them. The A^ery large sums of money Avhicli are frequently and necessarily intrusted to paymasters of the Navy was mentioned by me in my last annual report, and I recommended Congress to consider the amount of bonds which should be required by the Government. At present assistant paymasters give bonds in the amount of $10,000, passed assistant paymas,ters in the sum of $15,000, and paymasters in the sum of $25,000. There is no month of the year, probably, in Avhich requisitions do not pass this office putting into the hands ot these A^arious paymasters, with their A'^arying amounts of bond, sums between $50,000 and $150,000. The files, correspondence, and Avork of the office are all in a most satisfactory state. Facility of reference and conveidence of operation are thoroughly established. The Avork is essentially brought up to the current business, and I am consequently, in most instances, enabled to dispatch it as it arises. FOURTH AUDITOR. 127 It gives nie pleasure to speak in terms of just and cordial commendation of the competent and gentlemanly clerks who compose this office. Their attention to their work, their accord with each other, their courtesy of deportment, and their dispatch of their duties, are worthy of high praise. The various chiefs of divisions have all acquitted themselves to my entire satisi'action; and my able and efficient chief clerk, William B. Moore, esq., during the past year, as during the time before, has proved himself invaluable. With the highest esteem, I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, < * STEPHEN J. W. TABOR, Auditor, Hon. GEORaE S. BOUTA\^ELL, Secretary of the Treasury, ^ ' REPORT OF THE FIFTH AUDITOR. 9 P REPORT OF THE FIFTH AUDITOR OF THE TREASURY. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Fifth Auditor^s Office, October V5, 1870. SIR : I have the honor to here submit to you the report of the operations of this office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870. I am compelled to omit a stateinent of the expenses of assessing and collecting the internal rcA^enue for said fiscal year in consequence of a portion of the accounts not having reached here. The same cause preA^ented the appearance in my last annual report of the table for thefiscal year ending June 30, 1869, which is now included in this report. The amount of official fees collected by our consuls, notwithstanding the European war, continues to be very satisfactory. I am constrained to again invite attention to the inadequacy of the compensation of consuls. It would inure greatl^^ to the benefit df the Government were a number of the consulatCwS, where little or no business is done, discontinued, and a more liberal allowance made to many of the others. The irregularities in the matter of disbursements for the relief of destitute American seamen still continue, as they undoubtedly will until broken up by personal investigation and prompt detection by agents sent out, who, by reason of diplomatic or consular experience, or familiarity with the manner of keeping the accounts at the seat of Government, are qualified for the task. This office is the medium through which the State Department delivers assets and efiects of naturalized and native American citizens, dying abroad, to their heirs. Complaint is from time to time made of the excessive cost of administering abroad upon these estates, the property of the decedents in many instances being but little. This subject also requires the attention of efficient consular agents. ^ During the past year I have been so strongly impressed with the inconvenience of the present system of holding the outgoing collector responsible for the tax lists delivered to his successor that I take the liberty to resjiectfully repeat in substance what I said in my last report upon that subject. IJiion the appointment of a new revenue collector, under the laiv as it now stands, the uncollected tax lists are delivered to the incoming collector, but he is not charged with them, or held responsible by the Government for them. The outgoing collector has already been charged with them, and the Government continues to hold him and his bondsmen for the amount, until voluntarily accounted for by the UCAV collector. Millions of dollars are annually involved in this condition. The system is Avrong in principle, and works badly in every way. The new collector, having large lists in his possession with Avhich he is not charged, can, if he chooses, in the first months of his administration, deposit enough to keep the United States in debt to him, as far as the books show, and still retain large sums in his possession. Not being held accountable for these old lists, he has npt sufficient motiA^e to pay 132 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. over promptly, or for collecting the scattered and difficult portions, or haAdng the AA^orthless items abated and closed out. Large amounts stand charged to the ex-collector long after they should have been accounted for. The injustice of holding the ex-collector and his sureties responsible for tax lists delivered by him to his successor, and over which he has no control or authority Avhatever, must be apparent. Each retiring collector •aj^'pea.rs to be largely in debt to the United States. The accounting officers cannot determine how much of this indebtedness is real, and how much nominal, until these old lists are closed, and voluntarily accounted for by each successor, which is usually years after, and sometimes never. If the indebtedness is real it gix'-es the retiring collector and his bondsmen plenty of time to dispose of their property, if so inclined, before the United States officers can proceed against them. Besides, the bondsmen may be released by laches. Any amount found due the retiring collector for compensation or expenses is necessarily withheld until the tax lists charged against him are accounted for; and where the indebtedness proves to have been only nominal, the withholding of the pay for years is unjust. These evils can be remedied by a provision in the law to the following effect: " When a collector has been appointed and qualified, all the lists of uncollected taxes of the district shall be delivered and charged to him. His receipt for said lists shall be sufficient to authorize the accounting officers of the treasury to carry the amount to the credit of the ex-collector from whom receiA^ed, but such, credit shall not discharge said ex-collector, or his sureties, from any liability incurred before or at the delivery of said tax lists.'^ The language of such a proAdsion should be such as to hold the retiring collector and his sureties responsible for any loss that may accrue, by his failure to collect at the proper time, or perform his duty in any manner, before he delivers the lists, and for any sums that may have been collected and not credited, notwithstanding the credit for the transfer. This transfer releases him and his sureties from any accountability for what may happen to the lists after their delivery to his successor. The present law is inoperatiA^e, for the reason that the Commissioner can not'make the certificate required. If the xilan here suggested, o^ one similar to it, could be adopted, the books and reports of the aiccounting officers would show a much more reputable condition of accounts so far as the retiring officers of the internal revenue throughout the country are concerned. The amount collected under thp internal rcA^enue laws for the year ending on the 30th of June, 1^69, was one hundred and thirty-nine million seven hundred and seven thousand four hundred and seventy-three dollars a,nd twenty cents, ($139,707,473 20.) For the year ending June 30, 1870, the collections sum up one hundred and eighty-five million two hundred and thirty-five thousand eight hundred and sixty-seven dollars and ninety-seven cents, ($185,235,867 97.) This last-mentioned amount exceeds that of any other year, and, as will be seen, is in excess of the last i:)receding fiscal year fort3^-five million'five hundred and twenty-eight thousand three hundred and ninety-four dollars and seventy-seven cents, ($45^528,394 77.) This handsome increase in the collections ofthe revenues is undoubtedly to be attributed mainly to the integrity and increased vigilance of the xiresent revenue officers of the Government, Avhose care and industry in the several districts is a source of gratification and pride to those of us making up the record of the year. The accounts of collectors and assessors, after their reference to this office by the Commissioner of Internal Eevenue, have been adjusted more promptly since the 1st of July last than ever before since our in 133 F I F T H AUDITOR. ternal re\^enue laws went into effect, thus enabling these officers and their assistants to receive their compensation with less delay. This I attribute to the previous much-needed increase of force which Congress granted this office from the last-men tioned date, and to the close and studious application of that part of the employes of the office having to do with these accounts. I am also pleased to report that those haAdng the work of the diplomatic and consular and other diAdsions of the office have proved themselves efficient and worthy of the trusts/Confided to them. The entire number of accounts settled during the year is 11,986, and the amounts involved therein $698,378,006 S8. The number of letters written is 7,256, I am, very respectfully, HENEY D.

Other tables and statements exhibit the movement of the treasury of the United States in former fiscal years, as compared with the one that ended with June 30,1870. Some of these statements are brought down to the date hereof, and are so stated to be. Attention is most respectfully invited, among other suggestions, to the one in regard to the present inadequate pay. of the personnel of the office, and what will be required in this regard for its safe and efficient conduct in the future. The books of the office were closed as of June 30,1870, after the entry therein of all moneys received and disbursed on authorized warrants within the fiscal year closing with that date, as follows : Cash, I h \ Balance in treasury from last year Received from loans, Recei ved from internal revenue Received from customs Received from-lands Receivedfrom W a r . . .

The payments were made on 25,304 authorized warrants, for the payment of Avhich there Avere issued 25,954 drafts drawn on the treasury, and the various branches thereof. In both of these two last-named items there Avas a falling off from the numbers issued in the year preceding. The two foregoing tables show: thefirst, the cash on hand at the commencement ofthe fiscal year, and the various amounts that were received and covered into the treasury by warrants issued and entered upon the books of the office for the fiscal year, including payments, repayments, and coun ter-warrants; and the second, such aoiounts as were paid out on w^arrants, including corresponding amounts transferred by counterAvarrants, aiid such paymeuts that were repaid as are included in the'" first table; and also the balance of cash, on hand at the close of the fiscalyear. . These payments and repayments', and transfers by counter-warrants equal to each other, and in most cases representing the same moneys^ help to swell the aggregate amount of both sides of the ledger beyond the actual receipts and disbursementSo So, too, they may contain warrants issued within the then current fiscal year; but the moneys that they represent may have been received in the preceding or the succeeding fiscal year. The tables, therefore, do not show the precise amounts received or disbursed within the fiscal year, commencing with July 1,1869, and ending with June 30, 1870. Transfers are sometimes made from one appropriation to, another by warrants and counter-Avarrants of sums of money, equal in the amounts, in the detail, and in the aggregate. All such sums of moneys were technically carried out of and replaced in the treasury, and thus enter into botli sides of the warrant ledger account, and appear therein both as receipts and as expenditures. Moneys received from sales of stores, shipsj materials of war, and other property no longer needed for the public service^ have in like manner been covered into the treasury. The foregoing amounts include coun ter-warrants and , repayment of moneys unexpended: .

These facts suificiently explain how the administration, by thorough action and,an economical course, was enabled to purchase so large an amount of the stocks of the United States .for the sinking fund.

The sales to that date were $11,571 05, instead of $20,317 05, as reported. The mistake was in classifying unsigned whole notes as specimen currency.

The history of the other amount that never was issued is as follows: On the 3d day of December, 1862, t ^ e hundred impressions of these one-year 6 per cent, certificates of indebtedness of the denomination of five thousand dollars, amounting in the aggregate to $2,500,000, being printed numbers from 14,501 to 15,000, both inclusive, were abstracted = from the Department. They were all returned to the Department by detectives on the 6th day of February^ 1863, and were destroyed by burning on the 18th day of 14 F 210 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. the same month and year. These numbers were dropped from the numerical register, and no certificates of indebtedness of the denomination of five thousand, bearing the numbers of those abstracted and destroyed as above mentioned, were ever issued.

The loss of interest caused thereby to the treasury is enough to warrant an ainendment of the law and the exaction of a penalty for nonpayment. The period of one month within which the law now requires payment of semi-annual duty—January and July—is practically a months' credit to most of the banks, and it is suggested that a per centage upon such duty be added to it for every ten or fifteen days' delay to payment after the expiration of the one month's time now allowed. The collection of one per cent, of the duty for every ten days' delay in 227 TREASURER. payment, after January and July, would insure more prompt remittances from delinquent banks. COUPON INTEREST.

In my last annual report, the fact was stated that within the eight years that the treasury had been in my charge, money transactions were had that footed on the books of this office at a sum exceeding $44,000,000,000, and that not one cent had been lost to the people of the United States on account of the management of the treasury or on account of the conduct of any of the employes in this office^ and I concluded by saying that such good fortune could not last always, and that the law of chances would be strongly against me in the future. The forebodings then felt have during the year, in a single case, been verified. On Saturday, the l l t h day of June last, an uncounted package of 2,000 new United States ten-dollar notes, numbered consecutively from H 3,530,001* to H 3,532,000*, both inclusive, was stolen from the division of issues, where it had been delivered from the division of engraving and printing, to be counted and covered into the treasury. Two strangers had for several days been seen about the halls of the treasury building. On the day mentioned, the wife of a prominent resident of this city, with her young son, and two relatives', a gentleman and his wife, residents of a western city, were passing the upper door bf the long room, where the money packages were piled on a table to be counted. The first-named lady and the chief of the division, were well acquainted, and as she came to the open door they recognized and saluted each other 5 she, with her friends, naturally advancing into the room. Now, the theory of the manner of the robbery is, that the two strangers were in the hall, watching for just such an opportanity to act the part that they had long been rehearsing. When the party named entered the room, one of the thieves forced himself between the lady who led the way and her friends. This man immediately entered into conversation with Mr. Eoot, the chief of the division, making all manner of inquiries in regard to the manufacture, receipt, and counting of the notes, and the after disposition made of them. Mr. Eoot supposed him to be of his friend's party, aud was thrown entirely off his guard. The lady in turn, from his. apparently familiar manner, supposed him to be a particular friend of Mr. Eoot. The lady and her friends walked down the length of the room, passing all the counters, ajid passed out into the hall at the farthest door. The principal thief in the mean time, held Mr. Eoot in conversation, and gradually drew him to the table where the money packages were piled up. Here he managed so to place Mr. Eoot as to make him a screen to cut off the view of a female clerk, whose duty it Avas to keep an eye on the money. Mr. Eoot's body was interposed between her and the packages. At this moment the accomplice came stealthily into the room, through the same door, from the hall, and threw himself in front of, and partially over a female messenger, who was sitting on the opposite side, watching the money packages. He made inquiry for a female clerk, calling her by name, and although told that there was no such person belonging to the office, he insisted that there was, and he persisted in thus preventing the messenger from seeing the money, long enough to give the principal thief the opportunity to effect his purpose. The principal thief now diverted Mr. Eoot's attention, by pointing to . the party leaving the room, and saying, '^My friends are going, and I must go too," and at this moment took the package with his left hand, • and thrust it under his right arm. Thief No. 2 now quietly left the room bythe same door through which he entered. The packages of all 232 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. the denominations of United States notes, when they come from the printing division, contain each two thousand notes. Each package is just the length and breadth of a single note, and the 2,000 notes make a package of a little over six inches high. The principal thief came into the room holding a large Panama hat by the rim, with the lapel of his large sack-coat over his right breast, and thus he continued to carry it until he left the room. The package was effectually hidden under his hat and coat. Packages of $20 notes were lying side by side with packages containing $10 notes; but the thief, being obliged to keep his eyes upon Mr. Eoot, inadvertently took one of the lesser packages, because he could not look at them to tell the difference. ^ Mr. Eoot followed his friend, accohipanied by the thief, with the money, the whole length of the room to the lowest door, out of which the thief passed, with thanks to Mr. Eoot for his kind attention to himself and his friends. The money was missed within the hour that it was taken; but there ^ a s at that time no suspicion that it had been stolen. The theory then was, that it had not been received from the printing division, and all investigations for that, and a part of the next day, were inade under that supposition. In the after part of the following day, which was Sunday, I learned for the first time, from the female messenger, that another person had been in the room, and of his strange conduct toward her while there. The case now seemed plain enough. Mr. Eoot called on his lady visitor, and learned from her the facts as before related, and that she was inclined to denounce the stranger at the time for his rudeness to herself and her party, and that she was only deterred from doing so, because from his naanner she supposed him to be a particular friend of Mr. Eoot. The scheme for the robbery had, no doubt, been planned and matured for some time before, and only awaited a favorable opportunity to accomplish it. The whole thing was most ingeniously planned, and adroitly carried out. As soon as these facts became known, telegraphic dispatches were immediately sent to the principal cities, through the associated press, and otherwise; and Government: and other detectives employed, to the end that the thieves might be arrested and the money Recovered. Advertisements of the robber}^ were sent to every bank, banker, and broker, and to all newspaper publishers in the United States and the British colonies in America, stating the fact of the robbery, describing the notes, and that no new ten-dollar note of a number higher than H 3,236,000* had been issued. The intervening numbers between the highest number issued and the lowest-numbered note stolen are held in this office, and will not be issued unless the stolen notes are recovered. These intervening notes so held here represent nearly $3,000,000. This has, it is believed, prevented the thieves from using the stolen notes, except as hereafter stated. On the 28th of June last, a letter bearing date of the day before was received at this office, from the Stuyvesant Bank in the city of New York, stating that one of their '' dealers had deposited on the morning of that day, $1,500 in United States ten-dollar notes, coming within the numbers and series which were in the lot of $20,000 stolen from the Treasury Department.'' Colonel Whiteley, the chief of the secret service of the Department, being in New York at the time, was immediately informed by telegraph of this fact, and asked to call on the bank's officers for further information on the subject. He answered that * he had found the facts as stated, and the further sum of $6,400 of the TREASURER. 233 stolen notes had that morning been deposited with the same bank by another party. These two sums, amounting to $7,900, were deposited by persons who could give no satisfactory account for their possession of the notes. One of the depositors was arrested and held to bail for his appearance at court, and the other has fled the country. The money is in the hands of the officers of the court. The cashier of the bank named wrote me, under date of June 30, 1870, ^ We have stopped the ^ depositor's balance, thus securing the Department from any loss." A letter was received from the cashier of a bank in the interior of the State of New York, bearing date July 27, 1870, stating the fact that note No. H 3,530,198*, being one ofthe stolen notes, had comednto his possession. This is the only note, of those stolen, that has been heard from, except those that were recovered as above stated, in the city of New York. It is confidently believed that the remainder of the notes stolen cannot be disposed of for the benefit of the thieves without instant detection, and that, therefore, the whole amount stolen will eventually be recovered. THE EDWINS DEFALCATION. "Misfortunes never come single;" my long term of over nine years of immunity from loss has ended. Mortifying as the robbery above detailed was to me, it was bearable, because it was committed by outsiders, and in a way that would probably have succeeded with the most careful and cautious of custodians. Not so with a more recent case. On the morning of the 29th day of September last, Charles C. Edwins, a fourthclass clerk in the division of redemptions in this office, whose duty it then was to receive from, and receipt for to Adams' Express Company, all money packages received through that company, and to enter the same upon the register kept for that purpose, voluntarily confessed to me that he had abstracted, and applied to his own use, three money packages so received by him, and amounting, respectively, to $5,000, $2,000, and $1,500, being in the aggregate $8,500. He at the same time surrendered to me various items of value, consisting of bills of exchange on London, Bank of England notes. United States stocks, gold coin, chiefly in British sovereigns, passage tickets by Steamer ''Erin" for Europe, and tickets to Niblo's theater. The papers showed that he had procured first-class berths forhimself and wife, under the name of H. G-. Williams, on the steamer afore named, which had sailed for England on the day before. He surrendered the three letters from which he had abstracted the money, and stated that he had intended to have been far at sea before that time, but he had changed his mind, and had returned to make confession and restitution. He further stated that he had for several months been in the habit of abstracting money from packages and using it, and that after a week or so, he would take other money from other packages and replace that taken before; thus from time to time replacing the money stolen from one package by money stolen from another, and thus preventing inquiry after the stolen nioney, and consequent detection. He stated that in a then recent case he had taken from a package received from the Davenport National Bank the money, amounting to and marked at $5,000, and from another package the money, amounting to $1,000; that he afterwards took the inoney from two packages of $3,000 each, with a view to replace the inoney he had taken the week before, as above stated, but that in his hurry and agitation he had inadvertently placed the whole $6,000.4n the wrapper from the Davenport National Bank, and handed it to a clerk to be counted. The clerk, of course, reported the package $1,000 over by inventory. Fearing de 234 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. tection if he corrected the error, he advised the bank of the over, and remitted by check on New York for the whole $6,000. The National Bank of Davenport has since returned the $1,000. The National Steamship Company has also generously returned | l 5 0 that Edwins had paid for his passage tickets, and the proprietors of Niblo's Garden $2, for theater tickets not used. The account of loss, and of amounts recovered, then stands as follows : Amounts paid by Treasurer, acknowledged by Edwins to have been taken by him— First National Bank of Janesville, Wisconsin $1, 000 00 First Natioual Bank of Milwaukee, Wisconsin 5, 000 00 F.

I t is therefore not probable that any part of this deficit of $5,749 28 will ever be recovered. I have been informed by Colonel Frank Jones, the assistant cashier of this office, and by J. F. Burr, esq., the law clerk in the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury, that Edwins made substantially the same statement of the case as here detailed severally to each of them, and that on such statement so made to the latter, that officer entered a complaint against Edwins on which he was committed to prison. He has since been indicted for the offense, and remains in prison awaiting his trial. Edwins came into this office in June, 1864, and was appointed on the highest recommendations and testimonials in his favor, given by the leading men of the cities of New York and Brooklyn, and it is but just TREASURER. 235 and fair that the facts should be stated that he has been three times promoted for his industry, efficiency, and capacity for business, and for his general good conduct, and that for years he has earned better pay than was allowed him by law. REORGANIZATION AND INCREASE OF SALARIES. From year to year it has become more and more apparent that the present pay of the employes of this office is entirely inadequate, and that the public service is demoralized and the interest of the Government is endangered and suffers thereby. I therefore^ deem it a duty not only to reiterate all that has been said on this subject in former reports, but again to urge the necessity for an increase of their pay. It may be asked why employes in the office of the Treasurer should receive more pay than in the other offices of the Goverument. It is answered that-they are daily subjected to the risk of errors in count, and of taking counterfeits for money, for which they are pecuniarily responsible, and are compelled to make good all losses resulting from any.mistakes made by them. Instances have occuri?ed where counters have become so liable, in a single day, for an amount double what their present pay would amount to for a whole month. To make such a loss good, they would be required to relinquish their salary for two whole months. While as high an order of talent is required as in the other offices, it is necessary that the integrity of the persons employed in this, who are in the daily habit of handling large sums of money, should be assured, vouched for, undoubted, and above suspicion; therefore it is necessary that the stumbling-blocks of small pay and large temptations should not be placed in their way. Necessity, temptation, and opportunity make thieves. The opportunity to steal in this ofiice cannot be guarded against, but the temptation to do so can be removed by taking care that the necessity to steal is not forced upon the employes by pay Avholly insufficient to the decent support of themselves and their families. While the salaries and wages of persons employed in every kind of labor, mechanics, arts, businesses, and professions have been advanced to more than double their former rates, and while the pay of all the branches of the military service has been largely increased, that of the civil service has been kept down to the rates paid when the cost of living was less than one-half what it now is. The sufferance of this state of affairs it is believed is very bad economy. Persons holding places in the civil service, like other people, must live; they cannot subsist on the honor of the thing. When Government officials feel that they are but half-paid, as compared with the pay received h j persons engaged in like services for banks, companies, and business firms, and at the same time see their families suffer for the ordinary necessaries of life, they may be sorely tempted to do wrong. The first step may be to get necessary articles of food and clothing on trust, for which they will be unable to paj^ Now come the importunities of creditors for their pay.. To get rid of this annoyance, the salary for the next month is pledged to a '^ sharper," who loans money to the unfortunate at the ruinous rates of usury of from five to ten per cent, a month. At the end of the month there is nothing left to provide for the living of himself and family. To keep from starving, he contracts new debts, if he can find anybody who will give him credit; and the same round over and over again, until no one will trust him further. To keep the family from starving, article after article of household 236 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. furniture, and even necessary wearing apparel, goes to the pawnbroker, never to return. , Dogged by creditors, threatened by his superiors with dismissal if he does not pay his debts; unable to beg or borrow money enough to carry him out of town, and away from, his misfortunes; with the starvation of his family staring him in the face, what is he to do % He sees abundant opportunities by stealing, taking bribes, or other dishonest practices and wrongs upon the government, by which he can extricate himself from his difficulties. Is it any wonder that he yields to the temptation, and falls % How many of the- well-fed, who hold up . their hands in holy horror when detection comes, would, under like circumstances, have been able to do otherwise'? Christian legislators would do well to remember the command, ^^Thoii Shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn;" and that other precept, ^'The laborer is worthy of his hire;" and they ought, when they hear of defalcations, embezzlements, and other wrong-doings on the part of poor wretches of public officers and clerks, inquire whether the '^hire" allowed them by existing law was sufficient for the decent support of their families, and, if not, whether the responsibility of the crime did not, in part at least, rest upon those who withheld a reasonable compensation for services rendered the Government. The whole theory of low and inadequate salaries is demoralizing to the last degree. I t is said, ^' Let those who are not satisfied with the present pay, resign. There are plenty of others who would be glad to take their places." True; and if the new ones should happen to be honest, they, too, in theiT turn, would be obliged to resign, to make room for still others to learn a like experience. There are plenty of persons in the land, some of whom are still outside of a State prison, who would be glad to fill all the public offices, without any pay, and who would pay the Government a large bonus for their possession. If this evil is not corrected, the time will soon come, if it is not already upon us, when none but rich men or thieves will be able to hold any public office. Are the masses of our people, Avho are honest, and who desire that justice should be done by as well as to the Government, prepared for such a state of things'? I t is time that demagogism on the subject of "high salaries," on the part of the political party press, and of legislators as well, should cease, and that the honest truth should be spoken by those whose duty it is to speak it. Three-quarters of a century ago, when, we numbered less than four millions of people, and when the price of a day's farm labor was a quarter of a dollar, the salary of the President of the United States was fixed at $25,000 in gold per annum. Is there a man possessing a reasonable share of common sense in the whole land, who believes that now, when our population numbers over forty millions, and when the price of labor has advanced more than hve fold, that the same nominal amount, in a depreciated paper currency, paid the incumbent of that high office, is enough ? With the heads of departments the case is still worse. Every wellinformed man knows that the salaries paid these high officers of the Government is not sufficient to pay for the cost of the public entertainments that it has always been customary, and that it is reasonably expected that they will give the representatives of foreign nations, and others, in order to keep up the dignity of the Government. Most of these officers could earn for themselves, in their professions, amounts of money to which their official salaries bear little comparison. And then there is, perhaps, not a day in the year on which any one of TREASURER. 237 these officers cannot secure to himself, without fear of detection, an amount greater than he receives for his annual salary. Would such a course be pursued, or considered safe, by sagacious business men in the ordinary walks of private life ? But for the generous interference of Congress, by special enactment, in favor of the officers in this Bureau, it would not have been possible to have.retained the services of some of them. The exception was made in their favor because their offices were anomalous. Some of these offi, cers have responsibilities exceeding those devolving on the heads of bureaus. None other of their grade being recognized by law in any of the departments. Many clerks, who were equally deserving, were excluded from receiving extra pay, the committee deeming it inadvisable because their grades were common to all the offices, and it was not thought proper at that time to increase the pay of all the employes in all the departments ofthe Government. Under this view of the case, a list of officers, for whom it was necessary that something should be done, was furnished to the committee. The appropriation was made in accordance with this list, and the distribution by the Secretary was made according to the intention of the law. I t is to be hoped that Congress, at the coming session, will be prepared, by a general law, to do justice to all the officers and other employ6s of the Government. A system of organization of the offices of the Government, however suitable it may have been to the wants of four millions of people, collecting and disbursing a small revenue, is entirely insufficient and unfitted to the requirements of a population of over forty millions, with an increase of revenue, proportionably, still greater. Eeorganization has been too long delayed. The public interest is suffering in consequence of the delay. It must now be apparent to all that this nation can never go back to the state of things existing when the present organization of the public offices was made. Things suited to the wants of a young child are ill-adapted to the needs of full-grown man. When the treasury was placed in my charge, less than 20 employes transacted the business of the office. 350 persons, working much harder than the 20 then did, would be unable to transact it now. Temporary clerks have from time to time been employed under various special laws, and to some extent will have to be continued for some time to come. The number may, however, be gradually decreased with the return to specie payments, and when theredemptionof the paper money of the Government shall have been accomplished. The nuinber of persons now employed in this office is 374. There is neither probability nor hope that the number can be reduced to a number less than 250. In the table submitted last year it was proposed to fix the number at 253, being a reduction of the force, as now employed, of 121 persons. The tables of the number required of each grade, and the compensation to be allowed, as stated in the report of last year, are re-stated here, with modifications in regard to the female employes made necessary by the favorable legislation in their behalf by Congress at its last sessioui With a view to the reorganization of this office, the following table of the officers, clerks, and other employes, with the pay that should, for the proper conduct of the office, attach to each, is most respectfully submitted : Assistant treasurer Cashier.... $5,000 4,000 .238 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES.

If a reorganization should be made, it is suggested that the numbers of the classes should be reversed, so that the clerks would be rated according to the numbers of their respective classes, and so that the i)resent absurd and contradictory classification and rating of a first class clerk as a fourth-class clerk, and a fourth-class clerk as a first-class clerk, may thereby be corrected and made to conform to common sense. CONCLUSION. For the escapes from perils that threatened at every step, through which I have passed in perfect safety, without the loss of a single cent to the people of the United States, and without any serious pecuniary mishap to myself, in the collection and disbursement for the government of many thousands of millions. of dollars during the nine years preceding the last one, I desire earnestly to express my heartfelt feelings of profound thankfulness and gratitude. Although recently despoiled by thieves from without and from within the treasury, I hope my gratitude has not been abated by reason of the two misfortunes that have within the yea.r overtaken me. But I fear that my thankfulness may be ofthe kind expressed by one who, having fallen from a great height and broken his leg, thanked God it was not his neck. I congratulate the administration, the Congress, and the good people of the country, on the fact that by your skillful management of the finances, and the retrenchment of expenses by the executive head, and the heads of the Departments of the Government, especially in the expenditures for the Army, an amount exceeding sixty-eight million dollars has been gained and saved to the treasury in the last over the preceding fiscal year; and on your acljievement, within the same year, of reducing.the public debt nearly^ one .hundred and three million dollars.

From the proceeds of this amount of interest, paid semi-annually in gold, and from its accumulation, and from like savings and their accumulations and gains in the future, other United States stocks may be purchased by the Government until, by a constant and accelerated decrease of the debt, and increased means to pay it, the whole indebtedness shall, at no distant day, be paid and canceled.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Register^ Office, October 26, 1870. S I R : In presenting this, my second annual report of business transacted in this office during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1870, I have the honor to state that it has not been found necessary to increase the clerical force of this Bureau over the 229 persons employed at the date of my last report. Tbe expenses of the Bureau have been reduced to the lowest amount consistent with the public interest. The clerical force is iu a high state of efficiency, and I take this opportunity of beariug testimony to the high character, ability, and general attention to duty, of the class of i)ublic servants who toil from year to year in these offices, but whose duties are not such as attract public attention or due recognition. The large number of journals and ledgers of public accounts necessary in this office requires clerks of the highest order of clerical ability, who should have practical experience and a thorough knowledge of the science of book-keeping, as well as possessed of a natural aptitude for precision and accuracy. In this respect this office is fortunate in its present corps of clerks, but it is a sabject of regret that the uncertain tenure by which subordinates hold their positions in these offices tends to deprive the Government of the services of the most efficient clerks, who often are induced to accept of positions in other pursuits which promise more certain employment. These defects seem to be inherent in the system of civil service as heretofore practiced, but we may indulge the hope that Cougress will devise a more perfect system. The report of transactions in this office during the last fiscal year is submitted under the different divisions iuto which the office is divided DIVISION OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. This division is in charge of D. E. B. Nevin, esq., and employs 24 male a.nd 6 female* clerks. The division has control of the receipts and expenditures of the Government. Its records consist of eight ledgers for personal accounts, nine appropriation ledgers, five journals, and various auxiliary books for the record of accounts, warrants, and drafts. Detailed statements of receipts and expenditures are made from time to time, Avhen properly authorized, and a list of all ^ receipts and expend^ itures" warrants issued during each quarter is prepared for settlement with the Treasurer. Copies of records and accouuts required in the prosecution of suits are prepared in this division, and authenticated by the Eegister. Th.p custody and arrangement of the files are also in 248 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. trusted to this division. A large amouut of miscellaneous business, which caunot be classified, is transacted in this division. The number of warrants issued during the year for civil, diplomatic, miscellaneous, internal revenue, and public debt expenditures, was 17, 679 In the preceding year 18, 856 Decrease - 1,177 The number of warrants issued for receipts from customs, lands, direct tax, internal revenue, aud miscellaneous sources, was 9, 561 In the preceding year 9, 300 Increase 261 The number of Avarrants issued for payments and repayments in the War, Navy, and Interior, Pension, and Indian Departments, was. 9, 927 In the preceding year 10,284 Decrease 357 The number of journal pages required for the entry of accounts relating to the civil, diplomatic, internal reveuue, miscellaneous, and public debt receipts aud expenditures, was 4,017 In the preceding year 4,483 Decrease 466 The number of drafts registered was In the preceding year Decrease 29, 735 32, 788 -...,.. 3, 053 The number of certificates furnished for the settlement of accounts was - 6, 814 In the preceding year 6,250 Increase' , 564 The laimber of accounts received from the offices of the First and Fifth Auditors, aud Commissioner of the General Land Office, was 20, 775 • In the preceding year 20,585 Increase 190 LOAN DIVISION. This division is in charge of Hartwell Jeiiisou, esq., and employs 20 male aud 8 female clerks. The busiuess of this division is increasing yearly, aud will require an increase of clerks as soon as the work of funding the debt is fairly commenced; besides, an increase will REGISTER. 249 be necessary should the number of registered bonds increase as they have during the last year. The total amount of registered bouds issued during the year was $229,010,970, being an excess of $109,402,810 over the previous year. The direct issues amount to $5,402,200.. The i^eduction of the public debt, on accouut of the purchases of the Secretary of the Treasury, does not appear in this report, as the cancellation aud destruction of the bonds were not authorized until the passage of the act of July 14, 1870. The amount of registered bonds issued in exchange for coupon bonds was $97,934,450, against $20,551,750 duriug the previous year, showing a marked preference for this form of investment induced by its greater securit}^ and immunity from loss. The interest-bearing'indebtedness is represented by fifteen different classes of issues, requiring a'separate aud independent set of books for each; aud as there are about 50,000 holders of registered bonds, each one of which requires a separate ledger accouut, the labor required to keep these accouuts and declare the semi-annual dividends on them can scarcely be estimated. Nearly one-half of the interest is made payable in New York, but the delays incident to this heavy disbursement have been materially diminished by the present plan, adopted during the year, of consolidating the different loans on oue schedule, aud having the names of the payees priuted. The increased facilities for paymeuts and the favor attending its adoption amply coaipensate for the heavy extra labor entailed on this office iu compiling the abstract, and the plan will be extended to the other principal desposLtories. It has beeu the desire and aim of this office to render the registered bonds as couvenient as possible to the business community; and in order to facilitate transfers aud exchanges, as a rule, returns are made by this office the same day the stock is received. Small denominations of the same loan of like amounts may be exchanged for larger, and vice versa ; and so frequently is this done that any restriction or limitation ou this privilege will be prejudicial to the popularity of the loan. There are now entered upon the books of this office 384 caveats against bonds of different loans and denominations, lost or stolen. A number of these bonds ha.ve been presented for transfer with names aud numbers altered so skillfully as to impose upon parties purchasing them, but they have invariably been detected by the clerks in charge of their respective loans and the issue made to the proper owners. The present system of printing the bonds ou the prepared paper and tinting and ruling the numbers aud the blank spaces for the names of the payees, will be au effectual check against fraud by alterations. As a large proportion of the transfer transactions are based upon permanent powers of attorney, and other evidence of authority, necessary to be ou file iu this office, this record, heretofore found to be faulty and unreliable, has been carefully revised and systematized during the last year. statement showing the number of cases and numl)er and amount of registered and coupon bonds issued and canceled during the fiscal year ending .Tune 30, 1870. to O ISSUED.

Although during the first part of the fiscal year the work of this division was materially diminished by the reissue of old notes "in consequence of the delay caused by the change made in the process of printing the new issue, yet the amount of work accomplished in the whole year is considerably above the average amount of work done during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869.

This division is in charge of Joseph Nimmo, jr., esq., and employs 8 male aud 5 female clerks, and 2 messengers. Part one of the Geueral Eegulations relates almost exclusively tothe duties of this division, which are as follows: 1st. The registration, enrollment, and licensing of vessels, and matters relating to title. 2d. The annual statements of the tonnage of the country, of vessels built, vessels lost at sea and wrecked, vessels sold to foreigners, vessels abandoned, &c. 3d. Surrendered marine documents and duplicates of marine documents issued which are returned to the Eegister by collectors. 4th. Documents surrendered to American consuls and notices of the loss or sale of Americaii vessels abroad. 5th. All cases relating to the admeasurement of vessels. These are referred to this office by the .Secretary of the Treasury. 6th. The preparation of lists of vessels of the Dnited States from the records of this office. Books and blanks.—The books and blanks iu use in the various custom-houses throughout the country are prepared by the Congressional Printer, and issued under the directions of this division under the orders of the Secretary of the Treasury. The catalogue embraces thirty-eight difierent kinds of books, of which we have a complete supply on hand. The number issued prior to October 1, 1870, was 1,926, value estimated at $20,162 05. There are now on hand 1,655, value estimated at $1^9,420 47. The law requiring that these books and blanks shall be suiiplied here has two objects in view: first, that of economy 5 and second, the securing of uniformity in the records of the customhouses and of this office. Both these objects have been fully attained. The former method of allowing customs officers to order their books and blanks at private establishments led to gross irregularities and serious embarrassment iu the administration of the duties of the Department. In the course of eightj^ years many changes were introduced into the forms, aud to this extent coUectors of customs Avere a law unto themselves. To remedy these irregularities, aud to secure strict uniformity of practice. and compliance with the regulations of the Department, it is necessary that the Eegister should supervise both the printing and issue of these supplies. The present condition of our merchaM marine.—Our shipping engaged in foreign trade still remains in the low condition iuto which it fell in the year 1862. During the late war nearly one-half our tonnage employed in foreign trade was either captured by Anglo-rebel privateers or was sold to foreigners in order to avoid the risk of capture. But the chief cause of the continued decadence of Americaii shipping is the 255 REGISTER. supersedure of sailiug vessels by steam vessels, and the substitution of iron for wood as a ship-building material. While we have in this country inexhaustible supplies of coal and iron and unsurpassed facilities for tlie building of iron ships, we have not a single establishment which can compare wuth the great works of England aud Scotland. Our failure in this broad field of enterprise is a serious detriment to American industry. With far less expenditure than England has made in favor of her steam marine we can develop our latent resources, and ere long again compete Avith her in maritime commerce. The admission of foreign-built A^essels to the privileges of American registry Avould tend to crush out for an indefinite period all attempts at iron ship building in this country, aud to denationalize our merchant marine in the interest of our most formidable rival upon the ocean. It is to be hoped that such measures may be adopted as shall tend to place at least one-half our shii)ping in foreign trade under the American flag. Tonnage of the TJnited States.

TREASUKY D E P A R T M E N T , O F F I C E OF T H E SUPERVISING- A R C H I T E C T , Octoher 30, 1870. S I R : I have the.hoRor to submit for your coiisideration the following Teport ofthe progress of the various works with tbe construction of which this office has been charged, and of the condition of the public property nnder its supervision, together with some recommendations in regard thereto. During the past year the only new works that have been commenced arethe court-house and post office buildings at Omaha, Nebraska, Knoxville, Tennessee, and the assay office at Boise Gity, Idaho. Plans were prepared, and arrangements .made, for the erection of the court-house and post office bnilding at Columbia, South Carolina, the custom-house and post office building at Machias, Maine, and the custom-house, court-house and post office building at ISTashville, Tennessee; but the constrnction given to the fifth section of the act making appropriations for the civil service of the Government for the present fiscal year by the First ConiiDtroller of the Treasury left this office without funds, and it has consequently been unable to commence operations. Work has been. prosecuted as rapidly as the means at the disposal of this office would permit on the Treasury building; the custom-houses at Portland, Maine; Portland and Astoria, Oregon; Cairo, Illinois, and Charleston, iSouth Carolina; on the court-houses and post offices at New York, K Y.; Des Moines, Iowa; Madison, Wisconsin, and Portland, Maine; on the post office and treasury building at Boston, Massachusetts; on the branch mint at San Erancisco, California; on the appraisers' stores at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; on the revenue dock at the Battery, J^ew York City, and on the paving and grading of the court-house and post office property at Springfield, Illinois. Work has been entirely suspended on the custom-house at St. Paul, Minnesota, and on the marine hospital at Chicago, Illinois, it being found impossible to complete the building within the limit fixed by law, the appropriations being available only on that condition. The work on the proposed branch mint at Dalles Cit}^, Oregon, has also been suspended, it being deemed desirable by the Department that it should be completed as an assay office rather than as a mint, for which special authority is required. The custom-house at Wiscasset, Maine, has been completed and occupied. The court-house and post office buildiug at Des Moines, Iowa, is now neai?ly ready for occupancy, and will be finished the present season. The court-house and post office building at Portland, Maine, and Madison, Wisconsin, and the appraisers' stores at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, could have been completed this year had the amounts asked for at the last session of Congress been granted. I t has been found impossible to 292 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. •reduce the cost of the buildings below the amounts then estimated, and their completion is therefore necessarily deferred until the necessary appropriations are granted. The following buildings have been thoroughly renovated, repaired^ and remodeled, and are in many respects in even better condition than when first completed, namely: the custom-house, court-house, and post office buildings at Bath, Maine; Chicago and Galena, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Louisville, Kentucky; Mobile, Alabama; Petersburg, Virginia; Savannah, Georgia; and Wilmington, Delaware. Eepairs more or less extensive have been made on the custom-houses at Alexandria, Yirginia; Boston, Massachusetts; Baltimore,Maryland; Buffalo, New York; Cleveland, Ohio; Cincinnati, Ohio; Dubuque, Iowa; Eastport, Maine; Erie, Pennsylvania; Georgetown, District of Columbia; Gloucester, Massachusetts; Key West, Florida; Milwaukee, Wisconsin ; New Orleans, Louisiana; Norfolk, Virginia; New Haven, Connecticut; Newark, New Jersey; Newport, Ehode Jslaiid; Oswego, New York; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Pensacola, Florida; Pittsburgh Pennsylvania; Plattsburg, New York; Providence, Ehode Island; San Francisco, California; St. Louis, Missouri, and Wfieeling,West Virginia; the court-houses at Baltimore, Maryland; Boston, Massachusetts; Indianapolis, Indiana; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Eutland, Vermo'nt; the marine hospitals at Chelsea, Massachusetts; Cleveland, Ohio; Portland, Maine, and St. Louis, Missouri; on the appraisers' stores at San Francisco, California; the branch mint at Charlotte, North Carolina^ and the sub-treasury in New York City. The business of the post office at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, having increased to an extent that rendered it impossible to transact it without increased accommodations, an addition was made to the building that will probably answer all demands for a few years; but as the business is steadily increasing and the building is not fire-proof, and is small for a city of the magnitude of Philadelphia, it will soon become necessary to erect a suitable fire-proof building for the nse of the Post Office Department. An approxiriation was also made for the extension and remodeling of the post office at Baltimore, Maryland. Plans have been prepared therefor, but as it is doubtful if the relief thus afforded would be more than temporary, operations have been suspended pending further investigation. I would strongly recommend that authority be griinted for the liurchase of the Merchants' Bank, which is a part of *the custom-house and post office building, its being in private hands, greatly impairs the value ofthe government xiroperty, and is required for the proper accommodation of the sub-treasury, created by the act approved June 15,1870.. The custom-house and post office building at Chicago, Illinois, was considered, when Completed, out of the city, entirely too large for the • present or prospective wants of the government, and extravagant in cost and construction; yet, though twelve years have scarcely elapsed, it isnow inthe heart of the business portion, overcrowded and too small to. accommodate all branches of the public service in that city, and when compared with the ornate buildings that surround it, a plain and unassuming structure. During the past year the side-walks surrounding the building have been excavated, and the heating and plumbing apparatus and the fuel vaults removed thereto, thereby utilizing the whole basement for the wants of the Post Office Department. A large part of the lobby on the principal floor has also been inclosed, no further space for the postal service can be obtained in that structure. I regret'to state that the progress of the work on the post office-audi SUPERVISING .ARCHITECTo 293 treasury building at Boston, Massachusetts, has not equalled the expectations of this office. Unforeseen and unexpected embarrassments have been met, and obstacles encountereei that have seriously delayed the progress of the work, and could not have been anticipated. The generous cooperation of the authorities ofthe city of Boston, who have from the first granted the Department eveiy facility, rendered the opposition of a few citizens the more unexpected, but which, I am happy to say, has only resulted in a temporary delay. The contract for the granite-work of the building, which wasniade on the 26th day of October, 1869, has been ratified under the provisions of the act of Congress, apjiroved July 15,1870, the material being furnished by the Cape Ann Granite Company. The quality of the granite is unexceptionable, and the character of the workmanship cannot be surpassed. The site of the building has, however, been found insufficient, and as the owner of the adjoining property has persistently refused to dispose of any portion except at exorbitant rates, proceedings have been commenced under the statutes of the State of Massachusetts to condemn the portion neces sary to provide a passage for the mail wagons, the balance of the original appropriation for the purchase of the property being deemed amjile for the purpose. The remarks in regard to the progress of work on the post office at Boston apply with equal force to the post office building at New York. The delay has not, however, arisen from any negligence on the part of the Department or its agents, the amoimt of the available appropriation being practically exhausted at present, and will be entirely so before the meeting of Congress. The- most difficult portion of the work has, however, been completed in a highly creditable and satisfactory manner. The contract for the iron-work to the first floor has been awarded to the ^ t n a Iron Works of that city. The contract for the granite work, which was made on the 2d day of September, 1869, has been ratified under the provisions of the act of Congress, approved July 15,1870, t h e material being furnished from the quarries at Dix Island, Maine. The quality of the granite and of the workmanship is of the most superior character. The limit fixed by Congress as the cost of this building will, if insisted on, necessitate the adoption of a timber, instead of fire-proof, construction above the main story, including the roof, the estimates having been again revised, and conqiared with the working drawings, most of wliich, including those of the entire granite-work, are completed. I t is sincerely to be hoped that Congress will authorize the amount necessary to complete in a proper and sul3stantial manner this building, which is situated in the most conspicuous part of the great metropolis of the nation, and should be in every respect worthy of its location and the Goverriment Avhich it represents. I believe that the necessity for its completion at the earliest practicable moment cannot be overestimated, both on account of the convenience of the public and the interests of the Government. I will add. that the building when finished will be the cheapest, considering the thorough character of its construction and the magnitude of its proi)ortions, owned by the Government. The improvements in progress on the south front of the Treasury buildiug have been since the date of my last report comjileted, and have proved entirely satisfactory, the fine proportions of that front being for the first time revealed. I again recommend that the incongruous sk}^light behind the portico be removed, and the vestibule completed according to the original design, or finished in the same manner as on the north front. The latter plan has the advantage of economy, and of affording considerable additional room, which is much needed. The • 294 / • • REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. extension of the main staircase to the upper story and the construction of the skylight and interior dome have been completed, and add greatly to the comfort and appearance of the building. The reconstruction of the interior of the northwest corner of the building, Avhich has been a task of more than usual difficulty, is nearly finished, and will complete the interior of the extension. The system of ridge ventilation introduced by me' on the north wing, has been extended to the remaining portions of the building, and the stairways ventilated on the same principle. The heating apparatus of the south and west wings has been improved and thoroughly repaired. Arrangements have been made for the removal of the ink-mill, machine and blacksmith shops, &c., belonging to the Note Printing Bureau, after the removal of which, the ventilation pf the building will be in good condition, and the atmosjihere free from the pestilential odors that have pervaded it for so many years. The printing and engraving departments of the Note Printing Bureau not only occupy the attic, but have encroached on the upper stories of. the building, of which they now occu]iy a considerable portion. The space, however, is much needed for other purposes, and as the Department is overcrowded, and its business will not probably decrease, I earnestly recommend the erection of a suitable building for that important Bureau. I again desire to call attention to the unsightly and useless drive-way on the Avest front, and the enormous width of the area, which seriously injures the symmetry and beauty of the principal front ofthe building; and as there is a great deficiency in storage-room for coal, I earnestly recommend that an appropriation may be obtained for the construction of additional coal-vaults, and a subway for the rehioval of ashes, &c.y which would enable this blemish to be remedied at a moderate expense. There is also a pressing necessity for additional closet accommodation, and a thorough renovation and repainting of the interior of the entire building. I venture once more to call attention to the importance of early action in regard to the condemnation of a strip of property on the east side of Fifteenth street, between New York and Pennsylvania avenues, required by the plan for the improvement of the east front of the Treasury building, submitted with my report for the year 1868, feeling assured that no cheaper or more satisfactory solution of the problem presented by the unfortunate location of this magnificent building can be devised. Every improvement that is made on the property in question increases the amount necessary to carry this plan into effect, and I respectfully submit that after expending the sum of $6,700,000 upon the Treasury building, it is too late to pretend to economize by leaving it mutilated and unfinished. The extension of the Treasury building was, in my opinion, an error, the old xiortion being constructed of a worthless sandstone that would have perished long since had it not been protected by paint. This portion of the building is not.only an unworthy sham, but is badly arranged, unsuitable for the wants of the Department, and must sooner or later be reconstructed to corresxiond with the magnificence and solidity of the new granite extension. The commission appointed by the present Congress to submit a plan for improving and establishing the grades of the streets adjoining the Treasury grounds has completed its rexiort for submission to Congress, when it is hoped that this important question may receive a prompt and satisfactory solution. In this connection I desire again to call attention to the imxirovement of the grounds of the Executive Mansion on the south front, and the filling ofthe north half of reservation No. 1, or the SUPERVISING ARCHITECT. 295 ^ White lot," which has been, thus far, effected without expense to the ^ Government, and which, when completed, will remove all objections to the health of this locality. I trust that the necessary appropriations will be made to enable the Commissioner of Public Buildings and Grounds to complete Executive avenue, including the fencing of the same, and venture to express the hope that steps may be taken to improve the various reservations between the Executive Mansion and the Capitol, which, at a slight expense, may be connected and combined into a continuous x^aik, worthy of the national capital, and accessible to all, and affording an agreeable and convenient means of communication between the points named. ^ I desire to renew my recommendations that immediate steps be taken to secure a sufficient portion of the Battery at New York for the use of the revenue department at that port. The present custom-house is not well adapted to the wants of the Government, neither can it be made so, already overcrowded, the demand for additional space is daily increasing. The accommodations for the appraisers' department, though x'>robably as good as any thiat can be obtained in the city, are unsatisfactory, and will be found inadequate before the termination of the present lease. The annual rental has already been increased trom $32,500, in 1864, to $66,003 25, which is now paid, while a large exxienditure has been made, in addition, to adapt the building to the wants of the Department. 1 believe that, irrespective of the improved character of the accommodations to be obtained, it will be found desirable, as a mere question of economy, to erect on the Battery buildings sufficient to accommodate the various branches of the custom-house, including warehouses for theappraisers' department, for unclaimed goods, and for other purxioses;; and as the property in question is the only unoccupied space of sufficient size in the city of New Yo?k that could be obtained for the purpose, I cannot too strongly recommend that the necessary authority be obtained from Congress to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to negotiate for its acquisition by the Governnient. The revenue dock, which is now being constructed on a portion of the property, is nearly completed, and I would respectfully suggest that before proceeding with the erection of the barge office it would be desirable to investigate and decide the various questions involved in the preceding recommendations, which are more fully explained in my last report, to which I respectfully refer. I have previousl}^ called attention to the unoccupied portion of the custom-house lot in San Francisco, California, and in my last report recommended the confirmation of the conditional lease tliat had been entered into with parties in that city. This recommendation was not, however^ approved. I again respectfully call attention to this property, which is situated in the heart of the commercial portion of the city, and is in its x>i'^sent condition a disgrace to the governnient, a nuisance to the city, and a serious injury to the adjoining property. It appears to me that the property should be sold, leased, or utilized iDy the erection pf a building thereon. The government is at x)resent paying rents, amounting to $67,800 per annum, for the accommodation of the various x>ublic offices located in that city. The xiroperty is worth at the lowest valuation not less than $100,000 in gold coin. If the interest on this sum be added to the amount paid for the rental of property for government purposes, it will be seen that the sum of $73,800 per annum is wasted and paid for accommodations far inferior to those which might be provided on this property. I have previously alluded to the great cost of pile foundations as a reason for disposing of this property. The success that has attended the efforts to obtain a foundation for the mint in that 296 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. city by the use^of beds of concrete, leads me to believe that piling may bedispensed with and that great expense avoided. A substantial and well constructed building of brick and timber would probably be better adapted to the location than of cut stone and iron, and could be made comparativelyfire-proof at a moderate expense, while the building being isolated from others by wide streets, little danger would exist in case of the destruction of the surrounding buildings. The custom-house at Portland, Maine, is now nearly completed, and will, it is believed, prove second in xioint of convenience and adaptation to the wants of the Government to none in the country. The wharves in front of the building are needed as a landing for the revenue boats and for passengers arriving from foreign ports, and cabu now be obtained on most advantageous terms. I earnestly recommend an appropriation for their xiurchase. I desire to call attention to the unsuitable and insufficient character of the custom-house, court-house, and post office buildings at Cincinnati, Ohio, and St. Louis, Missouri, and to urge the importance of making apxiropriations sufficient for the erection of suitable buildings in those cities at an early date. It is difficult to decide which is the worse lighted and ventilated or the most deficient in accomodations, but i t i s believed that while^ the former is much the smaller and more crowded the latter can claim precedence in unfitness and general discomfort, and has been frequently x^resented as a nuisance by the grand jury of the United States district court, which presentment has been fully apxiroved by the judges. An appropriation of $300,000 was made at the last session of Congress for the commencement of a new building at St. Louis and the x^reparatioii of plans directed. As the approxiriation was made contingent uxion the donation to the Government of a suitable lot the preparation of the plans has not been commenced, no action "^s yet having been taken by the city. The Government having been informally offered one of the most valuble and eligible lots at Hartford, Connecticut, by the authorities of that city, as a site for a court-house, post office, &c., I strongly recommend that an axiproxiriation be made for the erection of such a building, and that authority be given the Department to accept the proposal, the necessity for a suitable building in that city being urgent and the offer exceedingly liberal. • • The temporary roof on the custom-house at New Orleans, Louisiana, has been renewed and a survey of the building made in order to determine the best method of completing and utilizing that structure, the results of which will be submitted for approval at as early a date as practicable. I do not, however, believe that any exxienditure thereon would result in xu^oviding a suitable, creditable, or convenient building. Work has been resumed on the custom-house at Charleston, South Carolina, which Avill be hastened to completion as raxudl}- as the nature of the work and the means at the disposal of the office will permit, and will when comxileted be an ornament to the city. An admirable site for the building now in course of erection at Knoxville, Tennessee, has been x^urchased for the nominal sum of five thousand dollars, the balance of the xiurchase money having been contributed by the citizens. The custom-house lot at Nashville, Tennessee, which was badly located and entirely too small, has been exchanged for one of the most eligible and desirable pieces of prox^erty in that city. A fine lot has been donated to the Government at Columbia, South Carolina, by the citizens of that place. The decision of the Coinxitroller has rendered it impossible to commence work on the building without further S U P E R V I S I M G ARCH.ITECT. 297 legislation. The old custom-house lot at Wiscasset, Maine, has been sold, and the marine hospital x^i'operty at Vicksburg, Mississippi, and Wilmington, North Carolina, offered for sale but withdrawn, no satisfactory proposals having been obtained. I would recommend that authority be obtained for the sale of the branch mints at New Orleans, Louisiana, Dahlonega, Georgia, and Charlotte, North Carolina, or the conversion of the latter into an assay office; the old custom-house lot at Astoria, Oregon, the custom-house lot at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, and the old court-house a t St. Augustine, Florida. I w^ould also in this connection renew my recommendation for the passage of a law authorizing, under proper restrictions, the disposal at public auction of property no longer needed by the Government, believing that it would greatly facilitate business and save money to the treasury. I desire to renew my recommendations for the sale of the small marine hospitals, retaining only those at the x^rincipal x^orts. I would also strongly recommend the transfer of David's Island near New York City, together with the hospital buildings thereon, and of Sedgwick hosx)ital near New Orleans, Louisiana, to the marine hospital establishment, they being no longer needed for military x'>nrposes, and most admirably adapted to the wants of the Treasury Department. I would also renew my recommendation that authority, be obtained for the sale of the unfinished iron, structure known as the marine hospital at New Orleans, Louisiana. I t is situated in an unhealthy and unsuitable locality, and will require a much larger sum to repair and complete than the value of a well-arranged and suitably constructed hospital of Xiroper size. I would also recommend that authority be granted for the sale of the marine hospital building at San Francisco, which was abandoned in 1867, on account of fears for its stability, and which is now raxiidly becoming a ruin. It w^as originally constructed of inferior materials, and has been much damaged and neglected, I cannot recomjnend the expenditure of the large sum that would be needed to place it in repair, and believe that the sale of the old hospital and the erection of a new one on the x^avilion plan, either on the premises, or on one of the neighboring reservations, would be the most desirable and advantageous arrangement, the estimated cost of a Avell-built and commodious hospital, on the plan above indicated, being less than that of the repairs needed on the present building. The following hospitals are now under lease, viz., at Louisville, Kentucky, Mobile, Alabama, and Wilmington, North Carolina. In my last report I called attention to the delay and embarrassment caused by the system of insufficient and partial appropriations for public works, which causes not only great and unnecessary delay in their construction, but greatly increases their cost, in many cases more than doubling the incidental and contingent expenses. I would most respectfully renew my recommendations that the estimated cost of the xiroposed building should be at once xilaced at the disposal Of the Secretary of the Treasury, to. be expended at his discretion, as rapidly as the necessities of the work should require. If this is deemed undesirable, I respectfully recommend the repeal of the x^rovision of law restricting the amount of <5ontracts to the axipropriation on hand. There can, it appears to me, be no valid objection to authorizing the Department to enter into contracts not to exceed the estimated cost of the buildings, provided payment is made contingent upon apxiropriations being granted therefor. This princixile has been sanctioned by Congress in regard to the postoffice buildings at New York and Boston with good results, and I feel 298 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.. confident that an extension of the same principle to all public works'. would prove most advantageous. I also desire to call special attention to the uselessness of attempting to economize by restricting the cost of work below the amount absolutely necessary to accomplish the object indicated. Instances are not unfrequent in which the Department has been directed to erect certain works, but has, at the same time, been prohibited from expending the amount necessary to accomplish the object. The size and character of buildings are necessarily determined by the use for which they are intended, and the size and character in turn determine the cost. If the limit fixed by law, as the cost of the building, is below that required by the necessities of the case, it is evident that the limit must be exceeded or the money wasted in the erection of a building worthless for the purpose for which it was designed, and, consequently, to the Government. The inability of the Department to erect buildings. for the amounts to which it has been limited has been, in many cases, the cause of much criticism, but I would respectfully submit that it is scarcely just to hold it responsible for estimates it has neither prex)ared nor indorsed, or to charge it with failure because it has been unable to accomplish impossibilities. The system of returns, to which I called special attention in my last report, has x^ioved an absolute check upon the expenditures on the various buildings now in course of erection, and has enabled this office to compare the cost of the different items of work in the several localities, and the efficiency of the various suxierintendents, and has furnished an exhibit of the fluctuations in the cost; of each branch of labor, or of material, during each month. It has also furnished reliable data for the Xireparation of estimates, which are now carefully computed in detail. I t gives me great pleasure to report that the estimates that have been prepared in this office during the past two years have proved rema.rkably accurate, and that, save in one or two exceptional cases on the Pacific coast, where the cost of material and labor has exceeded all expectations, the cost of work has been kex^t within their amount.. The result, of the various proposals received under advertisement during the-past year has also, in every instance, furnished gratifying evidence of their correctness. The system of operations, explained in my former rexiorts, has been adhered to with even more satisfactory results than heretofore, both as regards the material and manufactured work furnished under contract, and that performed by days' labor. The work has been, in.most cases, of the most superior character, and in all good, while the cost has been, as a rule, below average market rates in the same locality. At the same time, if it were xiossible to award public in the same manner as private contracts are awarded, much labor would be saved the Supervising Architect, and it is probable that many other advantages would be found to result therefrom, but public officers are virtually compelled to award contracts to the lowest bidder, irrespective of his character or. reputation, even though they may know that he is dishonest or incompetent,, or attemx^ting to obtain the work at an inadequate x^rice as a basis for a subsequent claim against the. Government. The result is, of course,, disastrous, while the bonds filed are practically worthless to the Government from^the difficulty of enforcing them.. Bonds are unnecessary in contracting with honorable and responsible men, and utterly worthless as a x>rotection against rogues and shysters, thus placing the honest,, hona fide bidder at the mercy of the dishonest and irresponsible one. I desire to call special attention to the system adopted for the supply SUPERVISING ARCtllTECT. 299^ of granite-work for the post offices at Boston and New York, by which the contractor is allowed a stated percentage on the cost of the work,, which is performed under the immediate supervision of a duly authorized agent of the Department. The advantages of this system maybe^ briefly stated as follow^s, namely, the work being performed under the direction and x^crsonal supervision of an agent of the Government, therC' is no opportunity for fraud, and there being a fixed and equitable profit allowed, there is little or no temptation therefor, and no inducement to furnish an inferior quality of work, or to delay the fulfillment of the contract. The interests of the Government and the contractor are made asnearly identical as possible, both being interested in having good and satisfactory work done, and in having it completed as rapidly as possible. The operations of this system, where tested, have been most satisfactory, and, in my opinion, it is the most equitable one that has been devised. I again call attention to the necessity for an appropriation for the pay of janitors for the various public buildings under the supervision of this Department, there being at present no law under which they can be appointed or paid. Many of the most valuable buildings are occupied by officers of various Departments, and, in the absence of a duly-axipointed. guardian, are exxiosed to depredations and injury, and are virtually at. the mercy of any evil-disposed person. This has been remedied as faras the power of the Department will permit by the designation of one of the officers as custodian, but as this appointment is purely honorary, and carries with it neither compensation nor authority to employ any one to protect or clean the building, much valuable property is destroyed or defaced. It appears to me that public property should receive at least as much care as would be bestowed on private, and I am unable to see any economy in neglect. The small appropriations granted for repairs and preservation of public buildings have not enabled the Department to keep them in proper condition. Most of the buildings erected prior to the war were defective in construction, and consequently have needed extensive repairs,, and, in maiiy cases, entire remodeling, including the reconstruction of important portions of the work. The buildings in the Southern States were, without exception, so seriously injured during the warthat large expenditures were indispensable for their preservation. A large number of buildings, including many of the most important, are now much in need of repairs, and, with few exceptions, the necessity for painting and renovation is pressing. I do not think the amount estimated for the next fiscal j^ear can be reduced with due regard to the protection of the Government property, and is but two-thirds of one percent, on the value of the buildings; but I believe if they are once placed in thorough and complete repair, they can be maintained in suitable condition at a cost not to exceed one-half of the above x^ercentage. I also desire to urge the importance of more liberal apxiropriations forfurniture. Few buildings now owned by the Government are properly or even decently furnished—in many cases a few rickety chairs and tables being the sole representatives of the extravagance that is supXiosed by many persons to pervade this branch of the Government exX^enditures. Experience has demonstrated the utter uselessness of supplying cheap and temporary articles; and that the only judicious plan is the furnishing of all buildings in a proper manner with the necessary number and kind of plain, substantial, and suitable articles, and then holding officers for whose use they are designated to a rigid accountability for their projier preservation. 300 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. In this connection I desire most earnestly to recommend that the practice of converting public buildings into establishments for .the accommodation of retail venders of peanuts, apples, and other similar commodities, be prohibited by law. The vestibules and approaches of many of our buildings are, at present, disfigured, and the public incommoded, by the stalls that benefit no one but the owners. I am at a loss to see why one citizen has not as good a right to carry on his private business in a x^ublic building as another, or why certain favored persons should enjoy a monopoly of these stands. Most of the buildings under charge of this office w^ere erected at a time when the subject of heating and ventilation received little attention; a matter now recognized as of vital importance, and an indispensable requisite in a x)ublic edifice. These buildings were, with few exceptions, heated with furnaces of antiquated construction that have been abandoned as worthless, necessitating the introduction of suitable apparatus, which is being done as rapidly as the means at the disposal of the Department will permit. The system of x^roviding fuel, light, and water for each building from one general appropriation has proved as advantageous as was anticiXiated, and has resulted in considerable saving to the Government, besides systematizing the expenditures under the proper head. The estimates submitted will, Avith proxier economy, prove sufficient for/the purpose. In conclusion I desire to say that, in the x^reparation of the estimatea accomxianying this report, in the x^reparation of designs, and in the execution of the work performed under my suxiervision, I have endeavored to conform strictly to your instructions to reduce all estimates and exXienditures to the lowest amount consistent with the necessities of the Government and the requirements of good and permanent construction. I also wish to express my gratification at the cordial sux3port and assistance I have received, and to return my sincere thanks therefor, And remain, with great respect, your obedient servant, A, B..MULLETT,' Supervising Architeot, Hon.

Owing to the peculiar and A^aried character of the work iierformed in tbe Bureau, it is impossible to furnisb a tabular exhibit which shall indicate its nature and extent. Examination.—In the division of examination, for example, the following work Avas performed: Number of pages of letters written Letters acknowledged, over Acknowledgments of statements, written Statements examined Statements called for Statements corrected by correspondence • 4, 639 2, 000 3, 600 24, 000 400 1, 000 The aboA^e figures give, however, a A^ery inadequate conception of the critical and elaborate examination ofthe various monthly and quarterly 312 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. returns from the several custom-houses, or of the A^ariety of work of a miscellaneous character accompbshed in that division. Compilation.—The same remark is applicable to the other divisions, especially to those in wbicb tbe clerks are engaged in tbe compilation ofthe statistics of commerce, a labor which, in addition to the preparation of statements for members of Congress and others, cannot be fully expressed by figures. Immigration,—The infiux of alien passengers, who intend to make this country their future home, has been deemed of sucb vital interest to our material prosperity, that the collection and digest of the statistics of immigration bave been assigned to and constitute the principal pa.rt of the duties of one division. Mu(j.li care has been exercised to obtain and publisb accurate statements of the age, sex, nationalit}^, occupation, &c., of immigrants. Systematic inquiries instituted during the j^ear bave rcA^ealed tlie fact that large numbers come a.cross the Canadian frontier, either directly from the British Provinces, or througb them from Europe, of Avhich moA^ement previous reports liaA^e furnished no account; and it is to be regretted tha;t the condition of mucli of tbe northern frontier, as to facility of crossing, and also a.s to the a.bsence of means and regulations for the iiroper registry of persons entering our territory, is such, that full and trustworthy returns are at present impra.cticable. Emigration.—The importance of securing statistics of the departure of emigrants from this country has also been recognized, and special eflibrts have been made to.render them as complete as possible in the total a.bsence of compulsory legislation on tbe subject. Numbering vessels^ tonnage, (&c.—Agreeably to the requirements of tbe act of Jul3'28, 1866, the second annual statementof ''A^essels registered, enrolled, and licensed under the laws of the United States, designating the class, name, tonnage, and place of registry," as well as the official number arid signal letters aAA^axded to each A^essel, A ^s prepared, and Aa • 5,000 copies published. The officers of customs, tbe commanders of United States war vessels, and the largest merchant vessels engaged in the fbreign trade, as well as the principal ship-owners, baA^e been supplied witb it. A supplement has also been publislied, completing tbe record to April 22, 1870. A similar statement, shoAving the merchant A^essels of the United States up to June 30,1870, bas been compiled, and Avill shortly be sent to press. As in other departments of inquiry, accuracy and completeness have been the first considerations. Difticulties an obtaining iirompt and accurate returns fromthe various collectors and surA^eyors of customs liave, by persistence, been surmounted, so that the Bureau is now able to publish the condition of our mercbant marine Avitb confidence as to its correctness. A table exhibiting the number of vessels a.nd amount of tonnage belonging to the several customs districts of the United States on the 30tli of June, 1870, geographically classified, is appended to this report. The tonnage of the country was in the aggregate 3,946,150 tons, showing a net increase over that at the close of tbe preceding fiscal year of only 201,831 tons. Fublicatw7is.—The monthly reports of this Bureau liaA^e, during tbe past year, been regularly published, and at the earliest date possible after the receipt-of the returns. As they have been widely distributed, it is unnecessary to append to this report tbe statements Avhicli they contain, relative to the trade of the country. The publication of tlie annual report of Commerce and IiaAdgation has usually been many months delayed, owing in part to the time required CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS. 313 to correct, by correspondence witb the distant custom-bouses, the many erroneous returns, and the great labor necessary to compile the numerous statements, and in part to the pressure at this period of the year of otlier official work at the office of the Congressional Printer. Unusual efforts ha-A^e, howcA^er, been made, am;! are making, to haA^e the A^olunie for the fiscal year 1870 ''submitted to Congress in a printed form on the 1st of Deceinber," in accordance witli the jirovisions of the act under which tbe Bureau was established. In this connection, the undersigned calls attention to the increased fullness and accuracy of all the publications of the Bureau. Whileit has been his aim to make the published statements absolutely correct, itis gratifying to know that tbe iraproA^'ement exhibited in the closer approach to acctiracy has been recognized and acknowledged. Difficulty of ohtaining accurate statistics.—Considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining from collectors of customs full and accurate data relative to our foreign commerce; an experience which is not surprising, Avhen we consider the vast extent of our seacoast, the number of small custom-houses, and the fact that the utility and aim of statistical inquiries are far from being generally appreciated or understood. The values of articles which pay ad valorem duties, and the quantities of those Avhich are charged with specific im\)0^t'^., have been given with approximate accuracy. But to supply the Bureau with the true valines of both ad valorem s and specifics, wi thi the quantities, and above all witli the correct A^alues of the articles exported, was a service which many custom-house officers not only in small or remote ports, but in some of our largest cities, regarded as alike unnecessary and impracticable. The task of insisting upon such returns, and of impressing the officers Avith a conviction of their importance for legislative and other statistieal purposes, has been no light one. Although the result of the efforts made in this direction has not been all that could be desired, yet a decided and most encouraging improvement lias taken place. USEFULNESS OF THE BUREAU FOR LEG-ISLATIVE AND OTHER PURPOSES. During the last session of Congress the serAdces ofthe Bureau Avere called into requisition to an unusual extent, and its usefulness recognized by members of botli Houses of the illation al Legislature. While the periodical statements of the trade of the country giA^en in the published monthly reports of the Bureau afforded reliable data for legislative purposes, those of a miscellaneous character baA^e also furnisiied a A^ariety of information of great A^alue. The tariffs of foreign countries, translated and published in comparison with each other and Avith the rates of duty in the United States, the statements of the population, agriculture, commerce, manufacturing and mining industry, cost of labor and of subsistence, of the railways, telegraphs, postal facilities, &c., of the states of the Old World, as well as of our own trade with Canada, Mexico, South America, the West India Islands, &c., haA^e from time to time been published, and in many instances at so early a date as to anticipate the demands of Congress and the public, and to prove of practical utilit^'^ as a basis and guide to legislation. CONSULAR REPORTS. The reports of our ministers and consuls abroad are carefully examined, ancl such information as appears to be of value to the commercial community selected for and published in the monthly reports of the Bureau. 314 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. These consular reports frequently afford information, of great jn:'actical Arable, not merely to the mercantile class of tbe community, but to tbe public at large. Although some of the foreign representatives of our Government obtain, and systematically furnish, early and A-aluable intelligence, yet, it is to be regretted that tlie custom of making sucb communications to the Treastiry Department is not general, and that our consular body in this respect is behind those of the leading commercial nations of Europe. Wbile it is. gratifying to be alile to select for publication from tlie A^ery complete reports made to the British Government by its enterprising representatives in otlier countries, it is a source of chagrin that our Government has not contributed its full quota of information of the character desired. Yet, tlie hope is indulged that at no distant day the . commercial reports of our legations and consuls will regularly supply full and trustworthy information of the countries to Avhich they are accredited. INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS. In the report of my immediate predecessor allusion Avas made to the fact that the act establishing the Bureau required the officer in charge ''to collect, digest, and arrange for the use of Congress, statistics of the manufactures ofthe UnitedStates, their localities, sources of raw materials, markets, exchanges with the producing regions of the country transportation of products, Avages, and such other conditions as are found to affect their prospeiity." With the explanation, therein given by Mr. Walker, of the obstacles AA'hich prevented the accomplishment of tbe A\^ork above specified, obstacles which still continue, I fully concur. As tlie publication of the census returns of the products of industry, giving in detail a,ndA\nth approximate accuracy most of the information indicated in the clause just quoted, may be expected during tlie*ensuing year, it is deemed inexpedient to make extraordinary efforts to obtain at this time returns of like character, but which must necessarily be inconililete. As, however, the subject possesses, great and increasing importance it should not be lost sight of, but in the succeeding years of this decade the eaxnest and persistent efforts of the Bureau should be directed to obtaining and publishing trustworthy information in regard tothe extent and condition of our manufacturing industry. Ill a new and sparsely settled country like ours the practical utility of the statistics of manufactures and mining is obvious. Taken at regular annual intervals, they Ax^ould show the growth of these industries, and would also afford the means of testing and measuring the infiuence of the dilferent circumstances and conditions in promoting or retarding such growth. The extent of each branch, the number of persons indirectly as Avell as directly supported by it, its relative condition as to locality, and its deA^elopment in different sections of the country, its influence on agriculture and on commerce; these, and other facts, if periodically placed before legislators and the public, Avould not only afford data for an intelligent estimate of the A'alue of eacb industry to the nation, but would indicate ^^'itll tolerable clearness the measures required to furnish the conditions of general prosperity. During the continuance of the excise tax upon manufactures, it was easy to deduce from the receipts of revenue the A^alues of the A^arious products—a source of information Avhich has been cut off' b^^ the abolition of the tax. It is, however, worthy of inquiiy Avhether returns similar to those formerly made b^^ the assessors should not still be re CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS. 315 quired for statistical purposes simply, and whether the machinery of the Internal Eevenue Bureau, with its trained and intelligent ofiicers, might not be advantageously employed in the accomplishment of the desired object. The labor thus imposed would, it is obvious, be much lighter than when the facts weie required lor purpo^ses of taxation. As the true object of the inquiry Avould be known, and as annoying details niight be dispensed witli, the information desired could, in general, be obtained with great completeness and accuracy. As compared with the other great interests, agriculture and commerce, manufacturing industry has not received that attention, from a statistical point of view, Avhicbits importancje demanded. While agriculture bas been deemed worthy- of the creation of a special department to mark its progress and make known its condition, and Avhile commerce bas, from the earliest iieriod, been made the subject of statistical record, emplojdng UOAV, besides others in the Treasuiy Department, the principal part of the force of this Bureau in obtaining, examining, and compiling statistics in relation to it, manufacturing industry, it is respectfully submitted, has not receiA^'ed that share of careful consideration to Avhich it is justly entitled. TRANSPORTATION. One of the objects contemplated in the legislation previously referred to possesses great interest, viz., that relative to the transportation of products, to attain Avliich, extraordinary efforts sliould be made. It is particularly important that the movement of the crops toward the seaboard, and of merchandise to the interior, whether by rail or by canal, lake, and river, should be ascertained and made public. All the information as yet obtained on this subject relates to the movements of commerce on the northern lakes, and on the canals of the State of New York, together with sucb reports of transportation over railroads as their directors choose to publislu In the absence of compulsory legislation in this direction, earnest efforts will be made to obtain, from the officers of tbe great lines of railway, annual statements of the movement of iiroduce and merchandise over those lines. COST OF LABOR AND SUBSISTENCE. The single word " wages" in the paragraph already quoted opens into a wide field of inquiry. The subject indicated has engaged the thoughtful consideration of the ablest statesmen and economists of the age, and is now occui^yingtbe attention o f t h e more progressiA^e governments of Europe. Impressed with its iinportance, and atthe suggestion of the tben Special Commissioner of the Eevenue, the undersigned, about a year ago, prepared and transmitted to the proprietors or superintendents of mills and factories, and to the assessors of internal revenue, circulars, making inquiries as to tbe rates paid in different parts of the country, for factory, farm, and mechanical labor. To guide in forming an intelligent estimate of the purchasing power of wages in different localities inquiries Avere also instituted as to the cost of proAdsions, groceries, and other leading articles of consumption. Erom the replies obtained in response to these circulars received from every part of the countr}^, tables baA^e beeii compiled showing the rates of wages paid in the respective years 1861 and 1869: I, for factory; II, for mechanical; and III, for farm labor; also IY, giving the prices of leading articles of subsistence and domestic use, in each State and Territory, during the 316 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. same years. These tables were printed at the instance of the Speciai Commissioner, and one thousand additional copies ordered by the Bureau for distribution. The great demand for this pamplilet—a demand, beyond my ability to supply—indicates the almost universal interest felt on the subject. JSTo less than five tbousa.nd copies were requested for distribution in England, by the American Emigration Agency in London, but ovAdng to the limitecl number printed, only fifty were forwarded. In acknowledging the receipt the agent states that his efforts were directed to sending to the United States the best mechanics, artizans, small farmers, laborers, &c., among which class tliere is naturally a strong desire for accurate biformation as a preliminaiy to emigration. In view of the benefits Avhich ma.y confidently be expected from a diffusion of such statistics some action by our Government would seem to be necessaiy. IMMIGRATION. Intiinately connected, as itis, with tbe foregoing subject, and of CA'-en wider importance, immigration demands thoughtful consideration. In a country like ours, possessing ricb and undeveloped resources, rendered available by the progress of internal improAT^ements, the advent of intelligent labor has, in general, been cordially welcomed. The A'alue of this addition to our material Avealtli has never been more highly prized than during the last two decades. To the influx of skilled and comnion labor is due in no inconsiderable measure the unexampled deA'Clopment of the northwestern and Pacific States. Since the termination of tlie Avar the .fertile hinds of the South, heretofore under a system of serAdle labor but partially cultivated, present extraordinary inducements for immigration. At the present time in the northwestern, southern, and Pacific States, there exists a deraand for common, and, to a more limited extent, for skilled labor, ncA^er before equalled. Witb a view of affording to the immigrant such trustworthy information in regard to tbe several States as Avould guide him in making an intelligent choice of a home, the undersigned prepared and forwarded to the assessors of internal revenue in all the States Avest and south of Pennsylvania the following circular : I. Can land be purchased or rented in your district suitable for small farms on favorable terms " ^ ^ II. What is the price per acre of small imp)roved farms'? State AAdiat liroportion has been under cultivation, hoAv much is fenced, and the kind of buildings'? III. A"Vhat is the price per acre of improved land, AA^hat proportion bas been under cultivation, and how much, if any, is .fenced ? IY. What is the yearly rent for small improved farms'? If rented on shares, what share does the OAvner receiA^e " Does the latter provide ? stock, implements, or seeds * ? Y. What are the chief articles of iiroduction, and wliat are the present prices of IAVO or three of them * ? YI. What is the distance to a market town, a railroad station, or a steamboat binding"? YII. What is generally the quality of land, and the kind of timber? YIII. What are tbe prices of ordinary farm-stock, sound and in good condition, A^iz: AYorking oxen, per pair; working horses, per pair; working mules, each; milch cows, each; sheep, eacb; bogs, each'? IX. Eor Avhat kind of labor is tbere a demand"? X. What mills or factories, if any, are in operation or in progress, requiring skilled labor * ? ^ CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF STATISTICS. 317 XI. A.re there in your Adcinity any railroads or other public Avorks in progress, requiring common labor? If so, how.far distant! XII. If any foreign-born workmen are employed in your district please give the preponderating nationality * ? XIII. Please state any advantages which your district can offer to laborers, mechanics, or small farmers'? Is there much land of good quality and well watered yet unoccupied? Eeplies to the aboA^e questions from the assistant assessors in nearly CA'cry part of the western, southern, and Pacific States, and the Territories, have been received, and the data classified and compiled, embodying an amount of information in regard to the advantages offered to immigrants, by eacb State and Territory, which, in fullness and accuracy, has not before been attained. These comxiilations are now undergoing revision, and Avill, in connection Avith tables sbowing the cost of labor in the several States corrected to October, 1870, be submitted in a special report. In conclusion, tbe undersigned takes pleasure in bearing testimony to the ability, industry, and efficiency of the officers, clerks, (both male and female,) and other emiiloyes of this Bureau. I have the bonor to be, A^eiy respectfully, E D W A E D YOUNG, .Chief of Bureau, Hon. G E O R G E S. BOUTWELL, Secretary ofthe Treasury, 318 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

SIR : I liave the honor to present an abstract of the field and office operations conducted "during the present year Avitli the means appropriated for the prosecution o f t h e surA^ey of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts of the United States. The field parties are yet engaged in their respective sites of Avork, but vrill be transferred to continue the surA^ey of the southern sections of the coast yhen the season is someAvhat further advanced. Final statements Avill then be due, together Avith the topographical and hydrographic sheets resulting from the Avork of the year. The folloAAdng is a brief recapitulation of A\^hat A\all be given in detail in my report on the progress made during the surveying yeiar Avhich terminates at the end of October: The Avork of the year has included the topography of the shores vaud the hydrography of Moose-a-bec Eeach, on the coast of Maine; triangulation for the survey of SouthAvest Harbor, (Mount Desert Island,-) extension of the hydrography at the entrance to Penobscot Bay; topography of the Fox Islands, of the vicinity of the Muscle Eidge Channel, and that of islands in Penobscot Bay, near Camden ,• plane-table Avork and soundings in the Kennebec Eiver, near Gardiner; coast topography near Biddeford, Maine; the surA^ey of Lake Champlain is now in progress, and soundings have been commenced in its Avaters; supplementary soundings have been made between Portland Harbor and Cape Ann, and in-shore soundings on the A\^est side of Cape Cod Bay; the longitude of Duxbury, Massachusetts, has been determined relative to Brest, in France, by telegraphic operations through the French Atlantic cable; anel topography done this year nearly completes the detailed survey of the shores of E^arragansett Bay. The triangulation stations in the vicinit^^ of l^ew HaA^en Harbor haA^e been examined; special observations haA'e been made of tides and currents in NCAV York Harbor, and the positions of buoys and sea-marks haA^e been verified for the engraved charts. South of New York the operations include triangulation near Mount Holly; coast topography near Atlantic City; the main triangulation along the Blue Eidge south of Washington; shore-line survey and soundings of the estuaries oh the east side of Chesapeake Bay, and of the outer coast of "Virginia, north of Cape Charles, developing in that vicinity the Broadwater; triangulation of the James Eiver; off-shore hydrography northward of Cape Hatteras ; triangulation, toxography^ and hydrography in Pamplico Sound; hydrographic resurvey of the channels of Cape Fear Eiver, ]!^orth Carolina; examination of the station marks along the coast of South Carolina, north of Charleston; topography between Broad Eiver and SaA^annah Eiver, defining May Eiver and Wright's Eiver; extension of the primary triangulation of 324 ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. this section to Saviannah, Georgia; topography of St. Andrew's Sound; hydrography abreast of Cumberland Island, Georgia; the sounding of North Eiver and Matanzas EiA^er, northward and southward of St. A.ugustine Harbor, Florida; topography of keys in Chatham Bay, and soundings in their vicinity; hydrography of the Gulf of Mexico off the Marquesas, and of the quicksands between the Marquesas and the Tortugas ; triangulation and shore-line survey of St. Andrew's Bay and its branches, including St. Andrew's Sound on the western side of Florida; soundings completing the hydrography of Lake Borgne, Louisiana; triangulation on the north side of Isle au Breton Sound, and triangulation and topography, east and west from Fort S t Philip, of the banks of the Mississippi EiA^er. The Avork now in progress on the western coast comprises the following operations: Determinations of the latitude, azimuth, and magnetic elements at three principal stations on the Santa Barbara- Channel, coast of California, and diff'erence of longitude between San Francisco and the light-house on Point Arena; coast topography between Santa Barbara and Point Concepcion, and between San Pedro and Point Duma; special examination of the tides and currents of San Francisco Bay; azimuth, triangulation, and topography in the vicinity of Point Arena; reconnaissance and topography of Humboldt Bay. and special examination of changes in shore-line at the mouth of Eel Eiver; shore-line survey from Eed Bluff'to Eureka; azimuth near Crescent City, and topography north from Point St. George; plane-table survey of the north shore of the Columbia Eiver, Oregon; completion of the topograi^hy of Port DiscoA^ery and Washington Harbor, and their connection Avith New Dungeness Eock; plane-table surA^ey of Blunt's Island and of the shore from Admiralty Head to Deception Pass. The parties on the western coast are yet actively engaged in the field, and their final reports have not come in. My visit to San Francisco in July last afforded ample eAddence, of the excellent condition of the work on the western coast, considering the means allotted for its prosecution. The operations of the Coast Survey Office, embracing the computation of observations, the drawing, engraAdng, and publication of maps and charts, have kept pace Avith the field-work; eight new charts haA^e been published, and twenty-three others haA^e been advanced by adding the additional results of the prcAdous season's field-work. " Eleven new charts have been commenced, and fifty-nine in all haA^e been worked upon. Of the various engraved charts twelve thousand copies have been printed and ten thousand four hunclred issued. Seventy-two manuscript maps haA^e been copied or traced for various departments of the ipublic service. Tide tables for the ports of the IJnited States for 1871 have been computed and published, and a new edition, re\dsed and illustrated, of The Pilot for the Pacific Coast has been issued.

S I R : By your direction, the following report ofthe operations of this board during the last year is respectfully submitted: The detailed statements under the heads of the respective districts, based mainly upon the annual reports of the engineers and inspectors, embrace the work which has been done; that which has been laid out for the current j'ear; and the present condition of all the aids to navigation, with such remarks and recommendations in regard to improvement of existing and the establishment of such new aids as seem to require the attention of Congress at this time. The light-houses, and light-A^essels, (so far as the exhibition of efficient lights is concerned,) are, it is belicA'-ed, equal to any in the Avoiid, and those beacons and buoys actually in position are efficient day-marks to guide clear of the obstructions for Avhich they were established. For those light-stations at which extensive repairs and renoA^ations are needed, special appropriations are recommended. The annual estimates submitted for the fiscal year ending June 30,1872, show a small aggregate increase over those of the last year, but not in excess of the aggregate increase in the number of new aids established and authorized to be established during the present year. A large number of additional aids to navigation haA^e been authorized, which haA^e been, established during the present or will be completed during the next fiscal year, which must be provided Avith keepers and supplies, &c. For the last tAvo years the appropriations for the support of the light-house service have been considerably less than the detailed estimates submitted by the board, and for the current year the difference was $99,104, to Avhich add the sum of $99,214, which reverted to the treasury under the operations of the fifth section of the act of July 12,1870, making appropriations '^ for legislative, executiA^e, &c., expenses ofthe Government for the year ending June 30,1871," giAdng an aggregate sum (within a fcAv dollars) of $200,000, Avhich is, so far as calculations could be relied upon, and independently of the thousand casualties arising out of freshets, storms, running ice, &c., to Avhich this service is daily liable, a clear deficit of necessary funds, although not such in the legislatiA^e sense, inasmuch as no indebtedness has been, or will be, 'incurred for Avhich ample funds haA^e not been previously iDrovided. With the balances of last year's appropriation, it Avas expected, as soon as the appropriations for the current fiscal year were made^ to be able to lirovide a number of spare buoys to replace the many large and expensiA^e ones Avliich have been.lost during the last two or three years; to repair vessels greatly needing attention at this time; and to put such light-stations as are suffering for want of repairs at this time in good 328 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. order. To liaA^e used these supposed available balances before the passage of the appropriation, (July 15, 1870, for the ensuing year,) would have left the board Avithout aA^ailable nieans to meet any demand, hoAvever pressing and important, Avhich might have been made in the interim, on account of accidents or storms. It has alAA^ays been the custom of this office, in preparing the annual estimates for supporting the existing and authorized aids to naAdgation, to make as close a calculation of items, quantities, and prices, as the information at compiand Avould alloAV, and to endeavor to so manage .the disbursements as at all times to have ample funds aA^ailable to supply any losses and repair any damage, however serious, to Avhich this service is so peculiarly liable during the Avinter months. The estimates for special objects are in many cases simply reappropriations of funds for authorized aids, which have reverted to the treasury under the act of July 12, 1870, and in others, for objects of sufficient importance to justify their being brought to the notice of Congress. Over one million of dollars rcA^erted to the treasury under the operation of the fifth and sixth sections of the act of July 12, 1870, on account of appropriations/or special ohjects. Many of these sums were for lighthouses on new sites, AA^hich had to be purchased, titles approved by the Attorney General, and cession of jurisdiction granted by the legislatures of the States in Avhich they were to be placed, before the work could be commenced; others whose completion Avas dela^^ed for want of time by the breaking out of epidemic diseases, or the inability to carry on Avork during certain months of the year, on those parts of the coast where they Avere authorized to be established.; Light-house works of construction cannot be carried on safely and economically north of Chesapeake Bay during the winter months, nor can they be economically carried on, on the southern coast, during the months " when eiiidemics almost ahvays prevail, more or less severely. Besides these draAvbacks and difficulties, these works, from their greatly exposed positions on the sea or lake coast, require not only to be built of the best and most durable materials that can be procured, but those materials ought not J30 be put together too hurriedly, and hence, as a rule, the large and expensive structures require a much longer tiiiie than one year to commence and complete thenr x3ropeiiy. Under the act of March 3, 1795, all special appropriations for lighthouses ran two years until July 25, 1848, when the following joint resolution Avas passed: A JOINT RESOLUTION extending the time for the erection of certain light-houses. Besolved by the Senate and House of Eepresentatives ofthe TJnited States of America in Congress assembled. That so much of the sixteenth, section of the act approved March three, seventeen hundred and ninety-five, entitled ^^An act making further provision for the supi3ort of puhlic credit and for the redemption of the public debt," as requires that sums remaining unexpended for two yea.rs after the year of approi)riation shall be carried to the account of the surplus fund, shall not apply to the act approved March three, eighteen hundred and forty-seven, entitled ''An act authorizing the erection of certain light-houses, and for other purposes," until two years after the first meeting/ of the legislature of those States in which said light-houses are to be located. Approved July 25, 1848. ' And a similar proAdso has been attached to many subsequent api3ropriation bills, among Avhich may be cited those of March 3, 1849, March 3,1851, August 31,1852, and March 3,1853. It is respectfully submitted that a similar clause ought to be attached to future appropriations for light-house works, and made retroactiA^e so far as to embrace those appropriations contained in the bill for light-houses approved July 15, 1870. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 329 It not unfrequently happens, that appropriations are made in the absence of estimates from this board, or information as to the real requirements, and in such cases frequently a second appropriation is asked for before commencing the work. In cases of this sort, it ajiiiears. that itAvill be necessary hereafter to add the words, in all cases of additional aiipropriation for any object, ^Hn addition to former appropriations or ktkc?ices," to render the former ones aA^ailable. ^ Last year an estimate Avas submitted for completing the light-house at Eace Kock, Long Island Sound, of $110,000, (for Avhicb $90,000 had prcAdously been made,) but concluding, from ncAv developments at the locality, that so large a sum Avould not be needed for that work'during the year, (and if at all, not for some time after,) the Committee on Appropriations Avas requested to reduce the estimate to $10,000, AAiiich Avas done; but as the words '^in addition to former appropriktions". were omitted, the sum of $90,000 (which amount only could be of any use economically during the Avorking season, in carrying on the Avorks) Avas unavailable after June 30, and the appropriation of $10,000, niade July 15,1870, only could be used, and the Avork Avas practically arrested for the year. Unless balances of appropriations are made available lor continuing authorized works to completion, Avhich cannot be safely and economically carried on during the summer season at the South and the winter season at the North, and allowed to be expended during the succeeding fiscal year, the efforts to complete works in tod short a time may result In the introduction of bad materials, sloA^enly work, and higher iDiices paid for both than a true economy and the interests of the public service Avould justify. . The following changes in the members of the board have been made since the date of the last annual report: Brevet Major General Richard Delafield, Brigadier general of engineers, and Brevet Brigadier General Hartmau Bache, colonel of engineers, retired from thetoard, February, 21, 1870, and were succeeded by Brevet Major General A. A. Humphreys, Chief of Engineers, and Brevet Majoi' General J.| G. Barnard, colonel of engineers. Brevet Brigadier General O. M. Eoe, major of engiiieers, was relicA^ed April 1^, 1870, by Major George H. Elliot, Corps •of Engineers. The board has to deplore the loss by death of two of the engineer officers of the Army in charge of light-house Avorks, Avhile in the midst of their arduous labors, during the past year. Brevet Major George Burroughs, Corps of Engineers, incharge of light-house Avorks in the sixth district, died suddenly at Charleston, South Carolina, January 22,1870, and Brevet Brigadier General C. B. Reese, major of engineers, in charge of light-house works in the eighth district, died of yellow fe^^er at Mobile, Alabama, September 22, 1870. While the board recognizes the great value of the serAdces of both of these officers, who had a short time previous to their deaths entered uiioii light-house duties assigned to them b}^ the War Department, it is especially due to the memory of the late General Reese to bear testimony to the great zeal, energy, and abiliiy Avhich he iiiA^ariably displayed in the performance of his duties, and in his intercourse with this office.

Petit Menan, coast of Maine.—At this light station a steam fog signal has been provided and ]ilaced duriug the last year. A cistern has been built and a Avell dug to supply the Accessary fresh water for the use of the keepers and for running the fog-signal engine. Prospect Harhor, Maine.—The light at this old station was reexhibited during the last year, to serve as a guide to the harbor of refuge which it marks. The tower, lantern, and keeper's dwelling Avere thoroughly renovated and repaired and the necessary out-buildings erected. A new lens apparatus Avas proAdded and the light exhibited, for the benefit of mariners, on the night of May 15, 1870. Burnt-Coat JB^arhor, Sivan^s Island, coast of Maine.—An estimate ot $10,000 has been, submitted in the annual estimates for the next fiscal year, for the establishment of two small lights to mark the approach to, and serve as a range for entering this important harbor of refuge at night, Avhen threatened with such weather as to make it necessary to seek a safe anchorage. This harbor is commodious and safe, and is distant 36 miles from the nearest place of safe anchorage on that coast. 20. Matinicus Eoclcj off Penohscot Bay, Maine.—A steam fog signal has been proAdded for and placed at this light station during the last year. A cistern and well for supplying the necessary fresh water have also been, provided. 21. White Headj entrance to Penohscot Bay, Maine.—A steam fog signal has been provided ibr .and placed at this station during the last year, and the necessapy cistern built and well dug to proAdde fresh water for the use of the station. 30. Manheigan Island, coast of Maine.—A fog signal, with a six-inch Ericsson engine and a ten-inch Daboll trumpet, has been placed on Manana Island, half a mile to the Avestward of the lighthouse tower at this place during the last year, to take the place of the fog bell at that place. • '^ 36. Seguin Island, off the mouth of the Kennehec River, Maine,—The work preparatory to the establishuient of the steam fog signal at .this important outlying light station A as begun last year, and a Avelldug, for V proAdding the necessary Avater for the engine. Salfway Rode, in the Atlantic, off Casco Bay, Maine.—The approiiriation bill for the light-house service, approved March 3, 1869, contained an appropriation of $50,000 for the establishment of a light on this rock lying in the arc of the outer approaches to Portland Harbor, Maine, and to A^essels passing along that dangerous coast. The site is isolated, and consequently the landing of materials and the employment of laborers were necessarily .more than ordinarily difficult and expensive. The tOAver will be of granite, the masonry of Avhich was nearly completed, LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 331 when the balance of the ^appropriation, which was ample for all purposes connected with the station, reverted to the treasury under the operation of the fifth and sixth sections of the act of July i2, 1870, and thereby making it necessary to discharge the mechanics and await a reappropriation of funds thus turned into the treasury, before the work can be completed a.nd the light exhibited. Although the sudden abandonment of the work, and materials which had been collected for completing it, Avill be attended with loss, as the quarters for the workmen and other accessories of construction will be swept off' by the waves which cover the rock in the storms of winter, yet it is believed the whole may be completed within the original estimate and appropriation. 37. Cape Elizaheth, coast of Maine.—The Avesterly tower of the two, at this light station, was built in 1828 of rubble stone, and is now in such a state as to render it necessary to rebuild it in a better manner, for which an estimate has been submitted in the annual estimates. The station is one of the most important on the eastern coast, seindng the double purpose of a sea-coast light station, and as a mark for the entrance into Casco Bay and to Portland Harbor. 43. Whalers Bade, entrance to Portsmouth Harhor, New Hampshire.— The granite pier erected in 1829 on which the light-house tower now stands had become so much injured by the heaA^y seas, to which it is constantly exposed, that Congress, by act of 15th of July, 1870, granted an appropriation of $70,000 for a new tower, which will be placed on the reef near the old pier. The position is one of the most difficult to work upon on the coast, as the rock is covered by the waves except at low water and is exposed to the full force of the Atlantic. The new structure Avill be a masonry tower, solid to a height of 20 feet aboA^e lowAvater mark, and the blocks of granite which Avill form a facing for the interior mass of concrete will be tied together by doA^etail joints, as is usual in similar sea structures. The diameter of the tower at the base will be 27 feet, and height of focal plane above the sea will be 6S feet. The surface of the rock is UOAV being prepared for the foundation, but as the work can only be carried on at low Avater, the progress is necessarily slow, so that it is not expected to finish the structure Avithin the fiscal year, and it is therefore recommended that the balance of the appropriation remaining on hand on the 30th of June, 1871, may be made available for finishing the Avork. 44. Portsmotcth Harhor, N'ew Hampshire.—The keeper's dwelling requires to be rebuilt at this light station, at an estimated cost of $2,000, which has been submitted with the annual estimates. At each ofthe following named light stations there have been repairs and renoA^ations more or less extensiA^e during the last year, viz: 1. St. Croix, on Docket's Island, St. Croix River, Maine. 2. West Quoddy Head, entrance to Eastport Bay, Maine. • 4. Lihhy Island^ entrance to Machias Bay, Maine. 5. Moose Pealc, on Mistake Island, coast of Maine. 6.

The steam tender Iris is a small tug ; needs extensiA^e repa^irs, and is too small for eff'ective service in the fall or winter and springy on that boisterous and dangerous coast. The small schooner Wave is used for transporting materials and small working parties for making repairs at light-stations, during the working season^ The large number of light-houses, day beacons, spindles, and buoys in this district, embracing the entire sea coast and interior navigable waters of Maine, and the annually increasing number authorized by Congress^ as dangers on that coast are developed and accurately defined by the surA^ey IIOAA^ in progress, it has become a matter of considerable importance in regard to economy and efficiency of the same that a small steam tender be provided, and for Avhich an esti mate has been submitted in the annual estimates. The winter storms and spring freshets are always more or less damaging to all the aids in this district, and as there are but few that can be reached by public conveyance^ even in the summer months, for ordinary repair or for those caused by casualty, it is almost indispensable that the engineer should have a vessel with wlii(ih to dispatch labor and materials to any point needing them at all times SECOND DISTRICT. The second district extends from Hampton Harbor, New Hampshire to include Gooseberry Point, Massachusetts. ' Inspector.—Commodore George S. Blake, United States Navy, to October 1^ 1870; Commander John J. Walker^ United States Navy^ present inspector. LIGHT-HOUSE-BOARD. 335 Engineer.—W. A. GoodAvin, esq., (acting,) to May 31, 1870; Brevet Brigadier General J. C. Duane, lieutenant colonel of engineers United States Army, present engineer. In this district there are— Light-houses and iighted beacons Day or unlighted beacons Light-vessels, (including two for relief; Buoys actually in position Spare buoys for relief and to supply losses Tender (steam) Verbena - ' '. 55 49 - 10 491 378 1 The numbers, preceding the names of stations correspond Avith those ofthe ^^Light-house List of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts ofthe United States^" issued January 1, 1870. 47. Newburyport, mouth of the Merrimac River,, Massachusetts.—This light station was first established in 1790, and the beacon-light, designed to serve as a range for entering the harbor, (or for reaching a safe anchorage at night,) Avas erected in 1816. The tower of the main light is a IOAV, octagonal, AA^ooden structure, with a fifth-order lens apparatus in the lantern. The beacon, the position of which was changed during the last year, rendered necessary by the change in the direction of the channel, must necessarily be so constructed as to allow it to be moA^-ed from one side to another, in front of the main, light, as changes take place on the bar and in the outer channel. Newburyport is a place of sufficient importance to justify the establishment of a more poAverful light than the present oue, and the erection of buildings of better materials than wood. The frequent and very marked changes in the shore-line, bar, and channels by the heaA^y winter storms and gales have prevented the formation of any very definite plans for improving this light sta,tion; but new buildings must be erected at no very distant day, when a more poAverful light AviU be substituted for the present harbor lights 52. Cape Ann, on Thatcher''s Island, off Cape Ann, Massachusetts.-^A fog-signal has been in operation at this important outlying light station since 1861. One of greater poAver has been iilaced there during the last year.; and, in consideration of the A^ast number of vessels which pass that point daily a,nd nightly, and the great necessity for marking it during fogs and thick weather, a duplicate steam fog signal should be kept there at all times, so that in case one gets out of order {as all steam machinery is very liable to do) the other Avill be in readiness for sounding its blasts. 55, BaJeer^s Island, entrance to Salem Harbor, Massachusetts.—EffortshaA^e been made during several years past to render the range-line, designed to be formed by the main and beacon lights at that station, more maxked than it is; so that the outlying rocks and reefs, outside of which tliis line Avas originally designed to pass, might not be a terror to navigators passing along that part of the coast. The beacon-light was originally placed (1797) only 40 feet from the main light, a' distance entirely too short to make a Avell-defined range line to guide clear of the southeast breakers, the chief object in having two lights. The character of the ground belonging to the United States, and the OAvnership of the land adjoining the light-house site being in a person unAvilling to sell, have prevented the desired change of increasing the distance between the two lights. It is hoped that at no distant day the serious defect in this light station may be remedied. Salem Harhor, Massachusetts.—An appropriation Avas made at the last .session of Congress (July 15^ 1870) for the establishment of three lights 336 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. to mark the main channel lead.ing into this anchorage, with the view to) its becoming „a harbor of refuge Avhich may be safely entered at any time. Negotiations for the purchase of the proper sites have been in progress since the adjournment of Congress, and the works Avill be commenced as soon as the titles are perfected and approved by the Attorney General in conformity to law. .. Duxhury Reef entrance to the harhors of Duxbury, Plymouth, and Kingston, Massachusetts.—An appropriation of $17,931 Avas made at the last session of Congress (July 15, 1870) for the erection of a light-house on this point. An examination of the reef has been inade by means of borings, and plans haA^e been adopted for the site. The structure will be a tower 25 feet in dia meter at the base, with a height of 50 feet focal plane. It AAdll be founded in two feet of Avater at low tide, and will be of concrete, faced with iron. The run, of ice is very scA^ere from Plymouth Harbor, and to resist it, and the heaA^y seas by which it will be assailed, the toA\'er Avill be built,in one solid mass to a height of 15 feet above the water. It is expected that the entire work will be completed by the end of the current fiscal year. 62. Plymouth, '' The Gurnet,''^ entrance to Plymouth Harhor, Massachusetts.—The bieacon-light at this station was placed originally (the stations established in 1769) too close to the main light to serve the purpose eff'ectually as designed, viz.,, ^'to serve as a range to clear BroAvn's Bank." Efforts haAT-e been made to remedy this defect, but owing to the character ofthe ground, and difficulty of obtaining a site for extending the distance, this defect cannot easily be remedied until new structures are built, AA^hich must be done at no distant day, as the present buildings are merely Avooden ones. ^Q. Billingsgate Island, entrance to Wellfleet. Bay, Massaclmsetts.— During the month of March last the sea broke through the beach on the northwesterly point of the island and flooded a part of the light-house lot, but there has been no recurrence, and no immediate danger to the structure is apprehended. 80. Nantuclcet Beacon, Nantuclcet Harhor, Massachusetts.—This beacon, originally established on the southerly side of the harbor, prior to 1861, to serA^e as a range Avith Brant Point light-house for entering the harbor at night, was reestablished and relighted December 1,1869, on the north side of the light-house, and remoA^ed to its original site Aiiril 20, 1870. A dAvelling for the keeper of this light- is required, and will be built as soon as a site can be purchased and valid title obtainedo %Q. Cape Poge, Martha's Vineyard Island, Massachusetts.—Rapid and continued encroachment by the sea on this site made it necessary to purchase more land, adjoining that of the present one, so that the buildings may be removed to a safe distance from the brink of the diminish- . ing bluff bank. The purchase has been completed, and the land can be paid for and possession taken of it so soon as the legislature of the State passes the usual act of cession of jurisdiction, and which it is expected will be done at its next session. 92. Tarpaulin Cove, Naushon Island, Massachusetts.—It having been * represented that, possibly, the fixed light at this station might be mistaken fbr some other light of the same kind, a fixed light, A^aried by flashes CA^ery half minute, Avas substituted in April last, thereby giving increased power, as well as a more marked distinction, to the station. A severe gale, in September.. 1869, did much damage along the seacoasts in this district.

The displaced stones seem to be firmly held in the Avork. No repair can be eff'ected short of tearing doAvn and rebuilding the Avhole beacon. Although in its present condition the structure looks badly, yet it is quite as efficient an aid to naAdgation as if a large sum had been spent in its repair.

Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.—This vessel has been ordered into port as soon as she can be relicA^ed by another vessel, to undergo necessary repairs to encounter the coming AYinter gales. Relief light-vessel, (No. 38,) was built last year and is kept at the station. Wood's Hole, in readiness to take the iplace of any damaged or remoA^ed light-A^essel in the district. Relief light-vessel, (No. 9,) requires very extensive rcjiairs which are now being made. . BUOY AND R E L I E F LIGHT-VESSEL DEPOTS. Wood^s Hole Depot.—The fencing and shed for protecting the buoys at the Wood's Hole Depot haA^e been comiileted. The dredging Avas only partially done last season. Gulf Island Depot.—This depot for spare buoys is also the place of residence of the light-keepers and families belonging to Minot's Ledge light station. TENDERS. Steam tender Verhena,—This tender was built during the last year and sent to the second district to relieve the Cactus, which had become unfit for further service. Sailing schooner Wave.-—This tender was transferred July last to the engineer of thefirst and second districts for use in transporting materials and labor to light stations requiring them either for construction or repair. Sailing vessels cannot be employed economically to attend upon buoys, especially on. such a coast as that of Massachusetts and Maine in the Avinter season. An estimate Avas submitted last year for a steam tender for this coast, but the apiiropriation haAdng been deferred, it has been rencAved this year. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 341 THIRD DISTRICT. The third district embraces all aids to navigation from Gooseberry Point, Massachusetts, to include Squam Inlet, New Jersey, as A^^ell as the Hudson River, Whitehall Narrows, and Lake Champlain. Inspector.—Rear Admiral Charles S. Boggs, United States Navy. Engineer.—Joseph Lederle, esq., (acting) to June 16, 1870; Brevet Brigadier General I. C. Woodruff', lieutenant colonel of engineers United States Army, present engineer. In this district there are— Light-houses and lighted beacons Day or unlighted beacons Light-vessels Buoys actually in position Spare buoys for relief and to supply losses Tenders (steam) Cactus and Putnam ,. 105 42 8 387 345 2 The numbers preceding the names of stations correspond with the Lighthouse Lists of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts, and the Northern and Northwestern Lakes ofthe United States, issued January 1, 1870. Castle Hill, Rhode Island, east side of entrance to Newport Harhor, Narragansett Bay.—In the report of this board last year it'Avas stated: "Applications liaA^e been made at A^arious times in the past, and renewed ^his year, for a light-house and fog signal on Castle^Hill, to guide A^essels, especially in thick and foggy Aveather, into Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay. After a careful examination of the locality, and a full consideration of the whole subject, it is recommended that an efficient fog signal be authorized for this point, which it is belicA^ed will, with the existing lights and other aids to naAdgation in the immediate vicinity, subserve the desired purpose. The land uiion Avliich this fog signal must necessarily be placed, if authorized,' being held at a certain A^^alue, an estimate for an efficient fog signal, including the cost of-the land, is submitted in the annual estimates." The applicants for this aid to navigation are still urging its establishment. With the price asked by the OAvners for the land upon which the keeper's dwelling and fog signal must be placed, if authorizedj the sum of $18,000 will be required—the amount estimat^ed and submitted last year. 103. Beaver Tail, Rhode Island.—A new fog signal has been provided and placed at this light station as a substitute to the old one, which A ^s Aa worn out. 106. Rose Island heacon-light, Rhode Island, near,Narragansett Bay.— The light authorized tobe placed on this island has been completed this season, and the light exhibited on the 20th of^January last. 108. PopUtr Point, Rhode Island, Narragansett Bay.—The work of renovations and improvements authorized for this light station are in progress. Hog Island Reef, Rhode Island, Narragansett Bay.—In the report from this board last year it Avas stated that " a reef runs out from Hog Island to the main channel, rendering naAdgation difficult and dangerous. To prcA^ent, as far as possible, loss of life and property at this place, the steamboat company owning and running a regular line of steamers between New York, Newport, and Fall RiA^er, keep a light-A^essel sta« tioned there at the cost of the comxiany. Should Congress see fit to relieve this comxiany of this unusual expense, which it incurs for the benefit of others as Avell as for itself, by authorizing the building of a light-house with a protecting pier, in about six feet water on the reef, the estimated \ 342 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. cost would be $45,000." As no apxiroxiriation was made last year it is deemed xiroper to refer to the facts contained in the x^rcAdous rexiort.. 112. Conimicut Point, Rhode Island, entrance to Providence River, Narragansett Bay.—When the light on the shoal off' Conimicut Point Avas lighted as a substitute for the light on the main land, at Nayat Point, (distant about one mile,) the only available means of attending upon it were to allow the keepers to retain the dwelling at the old light station, and for them to visit the new light by boat. The land constituting the site of the old light station at Nayat Point is A-aluable, and would bring, at public sale, a good x:>rice. The old tower is not Avortli tlie cost of tearing it doAA^ii, and the dwelling not having been xepaired, in expectation of an approxiriation for comxileting the buildings at'Conimicut Point, to include a xiroper dAA'Cllingfor the keexier, it now becomes necessary either to make considerable exxienditure upon the Nayat Point dAvelling, or ask ibr a sjiecial apxirox3riation for the necessary xirotection ^ier against running ice, and for a dwelling at that light-house. The estimated cost of the Avork is $30,000. The only accommodation for the keeper now is in the tOAver, xilaced on the foundation of the old day beacon, Avhich is close to the deepest Avater of the channel, and the only suitable xilace for the light to guide clear of the shoal. Saben's Point, Rhode Island, Providence River.—In a sxiecial report, made in comxiliance to a call of Congress last May, a light-house and keeper's dwelling wei^e recommended for this xilace. The foundation is in 8 feet Avater at mean low tide, and will require an axipropriation of $42,000 to construct the x^ier of xirotection and the other buildings. Pumham Rocle, Rhode Island, Providence River.-—An axipropriation Avas made July 15, 1870, for the erection of a light on this rock, Avhich Avill be commenced as soon as A^alid title and cession of jurisdiction are obtained in conformity to law. Fitller^^ Rocle, Rhode Island, Providence River.—Congress made an axixiropriation July 15, 1870, for a beacon-light to mark this rock. Work Avill be commenced as soon as valid title and cession of jurisdiction are obtained. Sassafras Point, Rhode Island, Providence River,^An appropriation Avas made July 15, 1870, for a beacon-light at this x^hi-ce, AAdiich it is exxiected may be commenced at an early day. i l 5 . Watch Hill, Connecticut, near Stonington.—The renoA'ations and improA^ements authorized by tli6 ax^x^rox^riation act of July 15, 1870, are in progress and Avill be finished during the present season for work in that Adcinity. 120. North Dumpling Island, Fisher''s Island Sound,—The renoA^ations and improA^ements for this station authorized in the axix>rox')riatioii bill of July 15, 1870, are in progress, and Avill be comxfleted this working season. Rfice Rock, main entrance to Long Island Sound from the eastward.— Congress axix^ropriated July 28, 1866, $90,000 '4br a n e w light-house oil Race Rock, or on the soutliAvest end of Fisher's Island, entrance to LongIsland Sound, as ma}' be axixiroved by the Light-house Board." After due consideration of the requirements of navigation, it Avas deemed necessary to locate the IICAV light on the nest of boulders called "Race Rock," nearly a mile southeast from Race Point, on. Fisher's Island. A careful and minute survey of this locality has developed the fact that the reef on Avhich the light-house is proposed to be built consists of an accumulation of boulders of various sizes, pa-cked solid, OA^ergroAAm Avith sea-Aveed, and in about 12 feet of water. The estimated cost for caxrying this project into eff'ect is $200,000, of Avhich $90,000 were then LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 343 available, leaving $110,000 to be xirovided for b^^ Congress. Of this amount only $10,000 Avere asked for and appropriated sJuly 15, 1870, "for continuing the construction of a light-house on Race Rock, Long Island Sound." This amount in addition to the former approxiriation, Avould have been sufficient to carry on the work for at least a season, and to bring dt safely aboA^e high water. By an act of Congress of the 12th of July, 1870, the balance of the first approxiriation reverted to the treasury, leaving only $10,000 with Avliich to commence the construction. An apxiropriation of $150,000 is recommended for continuing this imxiortant work and included in the annual estimates. 123. Little Gull Island, main entrance to Loiig Island ^Sound -from the eastward.—The new tower, keex>er's dwelling and building for fog signal are completed. The new second-order light was exhibited for the first time on the 15th December, 1869. The cellar of the old keeper's dwelling has been converted into a cistern for the service of the steam fogsignal. The Wilcox x>atent steam generator Av^liich operates the Siren, has proved unreliable and will be replaced by a horizontal steam boiler. This being a A^ery imxiortant station on Long Island Sound, the fog signal should be of the most reliable character and in duxilicate, as the station is not easily reached, in case the signal should give out. The estimated cost for a duxilicate signal is $5,000, and is included in the estimates for this year. 124. Gardinerh Island, Long Island Sound.—The alterations in the lantern required at this station and for which an ax:)propriation Avas made July-15, 1870, are xirogressing, and Aviil be completed during this season. A fog bell Aviil be xilaced at this station before Avinter. 125. Plum Island, Long Island Sound.—The rebuilding of this station, which was commenced last yeax, will be completed during the present season. • Long Beach Bar, New York, Long Island.—The erection of a lighted beacon at this station has been provided for by special appropriation ot July 15, 1870. Plans and estimates have been prepared and the AVork will be commenced at as early a day as possible. 132. Horton's Point, New York, Long Islamd, Long Island Sound?.—The repairs and renoA'ations provided for by the apxiropriation of July 15, 1870, are xirogressing and will be comxileted during this season. 133. Faulkner^s Island, off Guilford Harhor, Long Island Sound.—The authorized rexiairs and renoA^ations will be commenced during this season, and will be completed if possible before winter sets in. As reported last year, the island is Avashing aAvay on the east side, and an appropri ation for its protection b}^ a sea-wall is again recommended. The estimate cost is $12,000. 134. New Haven, Connecticut.—The rexiairs and renovations provided for by the ax^x^roxiriation of July 15, 1870, haA^e been commenced and Avill be comxileted during the present season. The caloric engine Avhich operated the fog bell .became Avorn out and has been rexilaced by a Stevens striking apxiaratus. 136. Stratford Point, Connecticut, Long Island Sound.—The condition of this light station is the same as at the date of the last report. It is not in a fit state for rexiair, and true economy requires that it should be rebuilt whenever an adequate appropriation can be obtained from Congress. An estimate of $50,000 Avas submitted last year, but no axipropriation was made. 138. Bridgeport Beacon, Connecticut.—The reconstruction of this beacon is authoiized by the appropriation made July 15, 1870. The work 344 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. will be commenced at an early day and Avill be prosecuted so as to insure its completion during the fiscal year. 140. Black Rode, Fairweather Island, Long Island Sound.—The lighthouse at this place is A^ery old and ought to be rebuilt, but on consideration of other pressing wants, no appropriation is asked for that purxiose this year. A reappropriation of the $8,000 carried into the treasury by act of July 12, 1870, for a depot for buoys, &c., is asked and included in the annual estimates. Penfield Reef, Long Island Sound.—An axixiropriation was made July 15, 1870, of $30,000 "for commencing the construction of light-house on Penfield Reef, near" Bridgeport, Connecticut, Long Island Sound." The estimated cost of completing this structure in addition to the former appropriation is $25,000, and is embraced in the annual estimates. 145. Execution Rocks, Long Island Sound.—The x^i'otection to this station against the ice and sea, for which funds have been approxiriated July 15, 1870, is xirogressing, and will be completed during the season. Hart Island, Long Island Sound.—An axiproxiriation Av^as made Ax:)ril 7, 1866, for the erection of a light at this point. The OAvner of the island being nuAvilling to sell the requisite quantity of land for this light station for such a sum as the board would have been authorized to give, proceedings Avere instituted, in conformity to laAV, for condemning the land. The award of the appraisers for five acres of land-Avas $25,000, a sum far exceeding the entire apxiroxiriation, and, in the oxiinion of the board, fax beyond its intrinsic money A^^alue. Having made further examinations, it is found that the south end of the island, ux)on which the light would necessarily be placed, if i^laced on the island at all, is continually Avashing away, and unless it is protected by an exx)ensive sea wall, a light-house could not remain there very long. The end of the reef, (in 6 feet Avater,) which runs out from the southern end of the isla-nd, would aff'ord a good foundation and prox3er site for the erection of a stone structure vsimilar to those already erected at xioints o n t h e Hudson River. The estimated cost of the proposed structure and apparatus, complete in all respects, is $50,000, and is included in the annual estimates this year. 155. Sandy Hook, east beacon, entrance to Neio York Bay.—The effect of the heavy gales of last Avinter upon the north xioint of Sandy Hook, on Avhich this beacon is located, was such that the removal became necessary. The Avhole building Avas moA^ed 500 feet south, retaining^ its former range with the main light. It was x^l^ced on oak piles, and is now considered out of danger. The fog signal at this station is in good condition, and gives general satisfaction. It is to be feared that the tubes of the boiler may give out at any time; should this haxipeh, this most important station Avould be without a fog signal until UCAV tubes could be inserted. A station of such importance to navigation as Sandy Hook ought to liaA^e two complete fog signals, for the same reason as two, and in some cases three sets of lamxis are furnished to light-houses, and an ax3X)ropriation is asked therefor of $5,000 for this purxiose One or more permanent heacons in the lower hay of New York.— Last year's report contained the following dn this subject, which has been very often brought to the notice of Congress by parties in New York and elsewhere, interested in OA^er-sea com merce: "An ax')X3ropriation Avas made March 2, 1867, by Congress, of $45,000 ^ to enable the Lighthouse Board to erect in the lower bay of New York one or more permanent beacons.' This sum is wholly inadequate to the accomxilishment of the purpose for which this appropriation Avas made. An appropriation of $200,000 Avasxmade March 3, 1837, 'for a light-house on Flynn's LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 345 Knoll, near Sandy Hook, to be built under the direction of the Engineer Department.' On the 3d March, 1851, Congress made another approxiriation of $30,000 ' for a light-house on Flynn's Knoll.' For reasons heretofore communicated to Congress by those charged Aviththe erection of the proposed light on Flynn's Knoll, the light has not been built. It is belicA^ecl that Flsmn's Knoll is the only obstruction to naAdgation in the lower ba}^ of New York which is not proxierly marked; and as Congress has, by three'separate and distinct approxiriations, manifested its' desire for the erection of a light-house there, the board has no doubt but a suitable structure, to serve as a range with the Princess Bay light, and also to m^rk this dangerous shoal, which lies between the two princixial channels leading up New York Bay, can be built for the sum originally axipropriated in 1837, viz., $200,000 in addition to the $45,000 noAv available. This light, xilaced so as to make a range Avith Princess Bay light for the deepest water in Gedney's Channel, would enable vessels ofthe heaviest draught to cross the main bar, and reach a safe anchorage at night in the lower bay, in addition to its usefulness in marking a shoal upon which there is only 9 feet of water at low tides." • In recurring to this subject it may be repeated that it is likely a proXier light maybe erected on Flynn's Knoll for $200,000, the amount originally appropriated in 1837, and in that vicAv an estimate of $100,000 for commencing the Avork has been embraced in the estimates. 157. Conover Beacon, New Yorlc Bay.—In the appropriation of $13,400 made March 3, 1869, "for repairs and renovation at Throgg's Neck, Highlands of Navesink, Sandy Hook, Conover Beacon, and Fort Tompkins light stations," $2,500 Avere intended for rexiairs and renovations at this station. The necessary repairs to the tower and keeper's dwelling AA^ere intended to be made during this season, but the appropriation, under the act of Congress, reverted into the treasury. The repairs are much needed and are again recommended. . Estimated cost, $900. 161. Elm Tree Beacon, New Yorlc, Staten Island.—The sea has washed away over 50 feet in front of this station and behind the jetty, AA^hich had so far protected this side. The j e ^ y requires to be extended 60 feet toward the shore and filled in with stones. The estimated cost is $1,800. 163. Princess Bay, New York, Staten Island.—An appropriation of $12,000 Avas made July 15, 1870, for the protection of this site against the encroachments of the sea. Plans and estimate bf cost haA^^e been made, and it is intended to commence AVork at an early day. 164. Fort Tompkins, New York, Staten Island.—The repairs and renoA^ations authorized at this station by the appropriation made March 3, 1869, haAT^e not been carried into effect, it being doubtful Avhether the buildings (to\yer and keeper's dwelling) can remain in their x^^Bsent positions, on account of the Avant of the ground for fortifications. No recommendation in regard to this station can be made until this question is settled. 196. Elhow Beacon, New Jersey, Newark Bay.—A beacon has been erected at this place and fitted Avith a lens of the sixth order, in place of the former stake-light. 171, West Point, New Yorlc, Hudson River.—It is proposed to erect a suitable structure for a beacon, to be fitted Avith a §ixth-order lens, at this point, to take the place of the present stake-light, for which an estimate of $1,500 is inclosed in this year's estimates. 172. Esopus Meadows, New York, Hudson River.—The appropriation of July 15, 1870, Avhich A ^s made for rebuilding the toAver and dwelling Aa 346 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. at this station, became available at too late a day in the working season to safely commence the work this season and get it far enough advanced to'resist the Avinter storms and ice of the spring. The Avork Avill be commenced as early next spring as it may be safe to do so, and have it comxileted by the closing of t h e riA'cr in the fall. The entire apxiropriation Avill be required to comxilete the Avork, and, therefore, any balance that may reniain on June 30, 1871, must be maide available for ^the next fiscal year. 174. Saugerties, Neio. York, Hudson River.—The Avorks of reconstruction at this light station have been completed during the past summer. Hockdaling^s Point, New York, Hudson River.—A beacon-light is required on this point, which is near "Four-mile Point," to guide vessels at night from the "outer" into the "narrow" channel. The estimated cost is $700. 177. Stuyvesant, New York, Hudson River.—As ,the portable beacons' placed on this river must be removed to prcA^ent their destruction by ice and freshets, OAving to the close of navigation, this point has been selected for storing those aboA^e it; and the old dwelling for the keeper Avill be coiiA^erted into a storehouse for their X3reservation. . 178. New Baltimore, New York, Hudson River.—Owing to the frequent losses ofthe beacons on the Hudson RiA^er by heavy freshets during the navigating season, it is found necessary to place them on crib foundations filled in with stone and of sufficient height aboA^e the highest stages of the river to save them from destruction, to do Avhich will require an appropriation of $1,000 each. Loioer end of Baltimore Dike, New York, Hudson River.—This dike has recently been comxileted by the Governnient, and a beacon is nece^ssaxy to mark its lower end. It is proposed, if the necessary axipropriation is granted, to place the beacon on a crib 6 feet high, filled AAdth stone and properly secured to the dike, at an estimated cost of $1,000. 179. Five:Hoolc Island, New York, Hudson River,—A beacon, placed on a crib filled Avith stone, similar to the one at New Baltimore, is required for this place, in lieu of the small light noAv there, which is frequently washed away. Estimated cost $1,000. 180. Coeyman^s Bar, New Yorlc, Hudson River,—This station requires to be put in the same condition as is proposed for New Baltimore, &c., at estimated cost of $1,000. 181. Roha Hoolc, New Yorlc, Hudson River.—It is x^ioposed to protect this small light against the effects of running ice and spring freshets by the construction of a crib foundation of sufficient height, at an estimated cost of $600. 182. Schodack Channel, New York, Hudson River.—It is x^ioposed to apply the same reniedj^ at this light station as at Roha Hook, at an estimated cost of $600. 183. Nine-mile Tree, New Yorlc, Hudson River.-^The main ship channel runs close along the edge of the dike at this xioint. It is xiroposed to construct a crib inside of the dike for the foundation of a new portable beacon, at an estimated cost of $1,000. . 184., Cow Island, New Yorlc, Hudson River.—The stake-light at this place should be rexilaced by a portable beacon xilaced on a crib-Avork foundation filled AAdth stone, at an estimated cost of $1,000. 185. Parada Hoolc, New York, Hudson River.—A xiermanent beacon has been built at this x)lace during the present working season. Upper end of Stpne Dike, Neio York, Hudson River.—The steamboat comxianies in the Hudson River have placed, and noAv keep, a stakelight at this xilace; private lights are, in every Avay, objectionable. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 347 They are liable to mislead strangers, and there is no responsibility on the x^art of those Avho establish them for the xiroxier care and management. That this light is a necessary aid to the safe naAdgation of the riA'cr is quite apparent, and therefore an estiuiate has been submitted for its establishment, amounting to $1,000. 187. ' Cuyler''s Dyke, New Yorlc, Hudson River.—A x>ortable beacon was xilaced at this point last year, but it haAdng been run into and destroyed by a tow, a stake-light Avas x:)laced as a temporary expedient until means are pro Added for the erection of a suitable structure for exhibiting a light of the proper order. .The estimated cost of a suitable structure of crib work and stone is $1,000. WHITE HALL NARROW^S. 378. Opposite Chapman^s Dock.—This stake-light is to be rexilaced by a X^ortable beacon fitted Avith a suitable illuminating ax3paxatus, similar to others in these Avaters. 379. Soutli of Snoddy^s Dock.—This stake-light is to be improved in the same Avay that others have been in the Adcinity. At the following stations in White Hall Narrows x^ortable beacons haA^e been established in place of former stake-lights. Adz: 380. Steam Mill Point, 381. Head of Two Channels. ' 382. Maple Bend. 383. Lower end of Two Channels, 384. Opposite Belden^s Wharf, 385. Ahove Pulpit Point. 386. Loioer end of Four Channels. By authority of a sxiecial axix^roxiriation of March 3, 1869, portable beacons have been established on crib-work foundations at the folloAving points in White Hall Narrows, Adz: .Benjamin's Place, Carey^s Camp, Long Reach. • . • » Chisolni's Bend, Old MaiWs Place, In continuation, and to complete the entire system in these waters, approxndations Avere asked for last year for Red Hook and Pulpit Point. These two beacons should be erected on land, the fsites for Avhich can be purchased for $100 each, and the whole estimated cost is $1,300 for both sites and works. . v Barher^s Point, New Yorlc, Lake Champlain.—An apx3roxiriation was made July 15, 1670, for ,a light-house at this point. The site has been surveyed, and negotiations for the purchase of the land are entered into. If successful, the cession of jurisdiction will be applied for as soon as the legislature of the State of NCAV York is in session. Plans and estimates are in course of x>reparation. It is expected that Avork at this station can be commenced at the opening of next sxiring and completed during the ensuing summer; but to do this any balance of the apxiropriation Avhich remains June 30, 1871, must be made aA^ailable for completing the Avork. 389. Juniper Island, Vermont, Lake Cham'plain.—A landing Avharf and a boat-house for the xirotection of the boat necessar}^ for this station are greatly needed, and an estimate of $3,500 has been included in the annual estimates. ^ 390. Burlington, Vermont, Breakwater heacons, Lalce Champlain,—The 348 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. beacoii on the north end of this breakwatex was destroyed by fire during last summer. A temporary light was immediately exhibited, AAdiich Avill be superseded by a proper structure and a proper light before cold Aveather sets in this fall. The breakwater is now being constructed by the Government further north, and Avhen the work is finished a ncAv beacon must necessarily be built, under existing laAv, if means are aA^ailable. In the spring and fall these beacons are reached by the keeper Avith great diificulty, not to say sometimes at the risk of his life. To fail to light them at any time Avould be a A^ery serious business for those navigating the lake, but especially so AA'hen the Aveather is such as to render it hazardous to go to the breakwater by boat. It is therefore deemed of considerable importance to provide a dwelling for the keeper on the spot, for which, and the rebuilding of the beacon on the extended Xiart of the breakAvater, an estimate of $7,500 has been submitted. Colchester Reef, Vermont, Lalce Champlain.—An Axipropriation v^as made July 15,1870, " for building a light-house at Colchester Point or in its vicinity. Lake Champlain." After a careful examinatioii and survey of the locality, it was found that the rock called " Middle Bunch" was the proper place for the new light-house. This rock is in the middle of the channel, with 7 feet Avater at loAv-Avater over it, and deep Avater on either side. With a light thereon a vessel can pass on either side close to the rock. The Avork has been commenced and Avill be carried above Avater (and further if xiossible) this fall, and will be comxDleted next season. Bluff'Point, Valcour Island, Lake Champlain.—An appropriation was made by act of Congress apx^roved July 15, 1870. A proxier site^ has been selected a.nd surveyed. As soon as the land can be purchased, and the jurisdiction ceded to the United States, work will be commenced, Avith the hoxie of comxoleting the construction during the next summer, Xirovided the balance that may remain June 30, 1871, is not carried to surplus fund. 392. Cumherland Head, New Yorlc, Lake Champlain.—As reported last year, this light is obscured by trees in the direction of Plattsburg and toward Point aux Roches. The OAvners of the adjoining land offer to remove the trees for a compensation of $100 per acre, or.to sell the land and remove the trees for $200 X3er acre. The nuinber of acres necessary to be cleared is 15. It is recommended to xiurchase the land and to sell it after the obstructions are remoA^ed, and turn the x3urchase-money into the treasury, Avhich it is probable Avill be equal to the original sum Xiaid and the cost of removing the trees. The following are the names of light stations in this district not mentioned elsewhere: 105. Newport Harhor, Rhode Island, on Goat. Island. 110. Bristol Ferry, Rhode Island, entrance to Mount Hox3e Bay. 117. Stonington, Connecticut. 119. Morgan^s Point, Connecticut, near Mystic. 126.

Brenton^s Reef light-vessel, (No. 11.)—Stationed to mark Brenton's Reef off' the eastern entrance to NcAvport, Rhode Island.^ A complete gang of iron-wire standing rigging has been ordered for this A^essel, and to be placed before winter sets in. 151. Sandy Hook light-vessel, (No. 16.)—This light-vessel has been eight years on her station Avithout rexiairs, mainly owing to the Avant of a proper relief vessel and the demands for repairs of other vessels. A relief light-A^essel Avill be aA^ailable soon, and this A^essel will be hauled up and put iii thorough repair. 152. Wreck of Scotland light-vessel, (No. 20.)—It is understood that the work of remoAdng the wreck of the Scotland has been completed, and as the authority for placing this vessel there ceases upon the completion of the removal of that Avreck, this board has no authority to retain her there, although it. has been represented that it is desirable to allow her to remain; that, however, must be decided by Congress. The other light-A^essels have receiA^ed such small rexiairs and fitments duringthe year as Avere required and could be made on their stations. Relief light-vessel, (No. 17.)—This light-A'cssel has been thoroughly rexiaired and refitted duiing the xiresent year, and will be sent to take the place of the Brenton's Reef light-vessel, Avhich is to be brought in and refitted before winter sets in. UNLIGHTED BEACONS, INCLUDING SPINDLES. South Point, Rose Island, Narragansett Bay.—Granite structure surmounted by a sxiindle and cage.

Groton Long Point.—An iron spindle bearing a cage-Avork in the form of an inverted cone; in good condition. Sea-flower or Potter's Reef -Beacon.—Remains as rexiorted last year. It is a very important mark in Fisher's Island Sound and recommended for immediate reconstruction. It is xiroposed to build a granite structure for the purpose of upholding the spindle and cage of the old beacon. Estimated cost, $4,200. Black Ledge.—An iron shaft, beaxing a cage-Avork day-mark, formed by two cones connected at the A^ertices. In good condition. ~ Whale Rock.—An iron shaft bearing a globe cage-work day-mark. In good condition. Crook's Spindle.—Is an iron sxiindle with a keg on top ; in good condition. Spindle on the Whale, entrance to the Mystic River.—As reported last year, this spindle Avas carried away by ice and will be rexDlaced as soon as there axe available funds. Sayhrook Beacon.—Stone beacon on Saybrook Bar. It Avas rebuilt on a granite foundation and properly protected by stone placed around it. Quixe's Ledge.—An iron spindle, with a cask on toxi. Stands on a rock which is dry at half tide. It is in good condition. Southioest Ledge Spindle.—A wooden mast resting on iron socket and bearing a square Avooden cage-work day-mark. The mast has again been carried away and is now marked by a second-class buoy, which Avill be replaced by the proper spar. Stratford River Beacon.—The construction of this beacoii haAdng been authorized by ace of Congress, approved March 3, 1869, the work has been carried out in a A^ery substantial manner. Outer Beacon, Bridgeport Harhor, Connecticut.—A frustum of a square Xiyramid of Avood, surmounted by a wooded mast, Avith a cask, painted LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 351 black. This beacon Avas damaged by a vessel running into it. The damage will be repaired and the beacon repainted. Inner Beacon, Bridgeport Harhor.—The same as the outer beacon;. in good condition. Southport Beacon and Southport Breakwater Beacon—Granite beacon; in good condition. Norwalk Beacon, Connecticut.—A granite structure supporting a shaft and day-mark of iron. It is in good condition. ^ ^ Great Reef, off Norwalk Island, entrance to Norwalk Harhor.—An iron sx3indle Avith da.y-mark is authorized by axix^roxiriation of July 15, 1870, and Avill be erected this fall. Sand Spit, on the south point of Sand Spit, Sag Harhor.—-An iron vshaft with cage-Avork day-mark braced to four iron piles by iron braces. There is nothing left of this beacon but the shaft leaning OA^er; the braces haA^e been swexit aAvay by the ice. It is proposed to ,set the iron shaft perpendicular, and to x^rotect it by four corners granite built around the shaft, and clamped together with gah^anized iron clamps.^ Estimated cost, $3,500. Oyster Pond' Point, Plum Gut, entrance into Gardener's Bay.—A reef runs out into Plum Gut, Avhich is bare at low Avater. I t i s xiroposed to erect a stone beacon uxaon it to guide A^essels running into Gardener's Bay, clear of this danger. Estimated cost, $5,000. Romer Beacon, on the west side of Romer Shoal, entrance to the Bay of New Yorlc.—It is built of cut granite, conical in shaxie, and supports a square Avoodeh cage-Avork. It appears that a xiortion of the foundation on the east side has been undermined by the sea and has settled. Some ofthe perpendicular joints in six courses from the base uxiward liaA^e opened from 3 to 4 inches; the structure, hoAvcA'Cr, is still perxiendicular. The cage-work is rotten and requires rencAving. It is x'^roposed to x)rotect the base by xilacing large blocks of granite around it, especially on the east side, and to fill up the joints Avitli concrete, and x>rotect the same Avith sheet iron secured to the stone with iron clamps. A UCAV day-mark made of iron, to resemble the x)resen.t one, is to be pro Added. Estimated cost, $5,000. Mill Reef Kill Van Kull Beacon is a sheet iron beacon, filled in Avith concrete and secured to a granite base. It is conical in shaxie and siipXiorts an iron shaft Avith an iron cage on top. It is in good condition. Success Rocle, Long Island Sound.—An iron shaft with conical cagework^ in good condition. LIGHT-HOUSE DEPOT, STATEN ISLAND. Building for workshops.—This building A^^as entirely completed during this season. A steam-engine of 20 horse-poAver boiler has been put up, and the necessary tools and machinery for the lamxi shop haA^e been xirovided. The blacksmith shop is noAv being fitted out, a forge and a comxilete set of tools. There remains only the brass foundery to be xirovided Avith a set of crucibles and the necessary tools to complete the present requirements. Building for offices.—In last year's rexiort it Avas stated that the first stor^^ of this building Avas comxileted, and the iron beams of the second floor laid. Since then the second story and the iron roof were put up, the slating and finning comxileted, the iron stairs set, and the stone sidewalk laid. The inner partitions are all uxi, and the iron beams are arched over with brick. To complete the building there axe 3'et required the furring and plastering, flooring, sashes and shutters, heating apparatus, doors, xiainting, &c. 352 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. Shed and wharf.—The work authorized by the appropriation of July 15, 1870, has been commenced, and Avill be prosecuted so as to insure its ^ early completion. TENDERS. The want of a steamer to assist in the engineering operations in this district has been reported last year. The extensive operations which are going on UOAV and Avliich are increasing every year in the district make frequent visits of the engineer to light-stations necessary. The ordinary means of communicating are expensive, and take np a great deal of time AAdiich could be used to better advantage to the serAdce. The saAdng in the transportation, of Avorking xiarties and materials, aud the facilities in controlling and directing o]ieration.s by means of a steam tender Avould proA^e a great economy to the Light-house establishment. The tender Putnam has been constantly employed in attending upon the buoys, carrying materials and suxiplies to the A^arious stations in the district, and in transxiorting x^^-ckages of A^arious kinds from NCAV Y^ork to the depot on. Staten Island, and from the latter to New York for shipment to other districts. The tender Cactus, haAdng been used in the second district until unable to do further duty Avithout extensive rexiairs, was sent to the third district, and has been, during the summer, x^ut in thorough repair. The schooner Sunbeam, used as a sailing tender for looking after the buoys and other light-house duties in Long Island Sound, having from age become unfit for economical use on such trying serAdce, Avas sold at public auction by authority of the Dexiartment, and the net x)roceeds of s^ile turned into the Treasury. Number of boxes, loaolcages, bundles, cases, barrels, ^-c., received at and shipped from Uniied States Light-hoiise depot, 'Staten Island, from October 1, 1869, to SejDtember 30, 1870, inclusive. ll ^ 1 CO ii 3 o H M 1, 537 1, 336 .. .

The fourth district extends from Squam Inlet, NCAV Jersey, to and including Metompkin Inlet, Virginia. It also includes DelaAvare Bay^. Eiver, and tributaries. Inspector.—Commodore William H. Gardner, United States Navy,., to May 31, 1870; Commodore John P. Gillis, United States Navy, from May 31, 1870, to October 1,1870^ Commodore James H. Strong, United' States Navy, present inspector. Engineer.—BT&vet Brigadier General Hartman Bache, colonel of engineers United States Army, to February 21,1870; Brevet Brig;;.General I. C. Woodruff, lieutenant colonel of engineers United States Army, present engineer. In this district there axe: Light-hocises and lighted beacons Light-vessels Buoys actually in position Spare buoys for relief and to supply losses Tender (sail) Sx>ray , . .• 18 3 101 204 1 The numbers preceding the names of stations correspond Avith^ those of the ''Light-house List of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coast.of the United States,'' issued January 1, 1870. 188. Barnegat, New Jersey, Barnegat Inlet.—The semi-monthly measurements along the beach near the light-house have,been continued throughout the last year, and show slight faA^orable changes since the last annual report. The pier at the terminus of the works at the Avestern end, and a few of the jetties protecting the shore have been damaged, but it is thought unnecessary to make any rexiairs at present, as the light-station is not affected by the damage. . The works for protecting the light-house lot haA^e proved a success; they were comxileted on the 30th of September, 1869. 23 F 364 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 190. Ahsecom, Neio Jersey, Ahsecom Inlet.—^^The semi-monthly measurements along the beach in the vicinity of the light-house have been made throughout the last'year. There haA^e been scA^eral slight changes along the beach, but none of any importance, it is thought, so tar as the^ site of the light-house is concerned. The changes for the last tAvo months have been favorable, the low water-line having moA^^ed out. The high w^ater-line has not changed. The large sand bar in front of Atlantic City, reported in tjie last annual reportof the district engineer as having become attached to the beach, and moAdng up towards the xioint of the inlet, has continued to niOA^e during the year, and is now forming along the shore of the inlet, which causes the low water-line to make out all around the point. If this continues, there need be no axixirehension about the safety of the lightrhouse. The North or Brigantine jOhannel out of the inlet has deepened considerably during the year, and from x^i'^ssent axix^earances the chances are that this channel will shortly be better than the southern channel,'which has become-quite narroAv. It is probable that the southern channel Avill, at no very distant day, be filled np by the sand bar between it and the north channel. If this proAi^es to be the case, the fears for the safety of this fine lighthouse Avill be at an end; but in Adew of the danger that the sea may again encroach on the light-house site, in which case it Avill be necessary to defend it, the board recommend that the appropriation of $4,000 which has reverted to the treasury under the act of 12th of July, 1870, be rea.px>i'opriated, and that the balance of the existing axiproxiriation of $10,000 be continued, neither amount to be used tiU the emergency requires it. Correspondence has been had with the authorities of Atlantic City ahd the United States district attorney of New Jersey, in relation to proxiosed works for protecting the beach near the light-house, and to a form of a grant by the proxierty owners and by the corporation of Atlantic Cit}^ to protect the Government from any claims for damage for land to be occupied by the United States for the sea defenses. Most of the OAAHiers have consented to sign the grant, and it only requires the consent of two or three x'>ersons to sign, when the deed can be executed. Tracings showing the changes in the high and low Avater-lines, as they have occurred, have been forwarded to the board during the year. A small frame structure will be erected during next,season, for use as a storehouse to take care of materials, tools, empty oil barrels, &c., to take the xilace of the present structure, which is in a dilapidated condition, and Avill not admit of repairs. These structures are appendages to the stations, and are of considerable value. The cost of the building will be about $450. 197. Maurice River, New Jersey, Haystack Island, Belaware Bay.—-The work of placing the new parapet and fourth-order regulation lantern on the light-house at this station is noAV in x^iogress, and, it is expected, \vill be completed in a few days. ^ 198. Egg Island, New Jersey, Belaware Bay.—No repairs haA^e been made during the year; a new boat-house is required at a cost of about $250. , ' • • 200. Mahon's River, Belaware, Belaware Bay.—The abrasion of the marsh along the front of the building has been considerable. The building is on the back end of the light-house lot, and the location will have to be changed in a short time. This will require a UCAV lot to be purchased for the building, Avhich can probably be moved without much difiiculty or expense. 201. Gohansey, New Jersey^ Belaware Bay.—The following repairs have LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 355 been made at this station: The bank inclosing the building has been thoroughly repaired and raised 18 inches above the original IcA^el for a distance of 250 feet, where it was damaged bythe storms and high tides of last spring, the outer slope and new top of the bank protected with stone, the old gas-house taken down, and the debris (bricks and mortar) deposited along the bank to protect it from the Avash of the sea. The removal ofthe old gas-house adds very much to the good appearance of the station. 201. Christiana, Belaware, mouth of Christiana River, Belaware Bay.—A survey has been made at this station for locating the position of the light-house on Major Bache's map of Christiana EiA^er, (1835,) A\dth a Adew of occupying the station as a light-A'essel and buoy depot, AvhaxA^^es, and storehouse for light-house and buoy tenders, light-A^essels, &c. A special ax3X3ropriation* Avas made July 15, 1870, /'for building AA^harA^es, sheds, and otherwise fitting the Christiana light station as a buoy depot and winter harbor for light-vessels, at the mouth of Christiana Eiver, near Wilmington, Delaware.'' The plan proposed is to build the upper wharf, and storehouse for rigging, sails, &c., and to do x^^i't of the grading, and, if the amount already appropriated is sufficient, to erect the upper buoy shed also. Plans and estimates are now being prepared. The a^x^proximate estimate for continuing the Avorks, (that is, to finish the uxiper whaxf, storehouse, and buoy shed, and that part of the grading,) and to construct, the second wharf, buoy shed, and grading, is $14,000. 205. Fort Mifflin, off Fort Mifflin, Belaware River.—An appropriation was made at the last session of Congress (July 15,1870) for rebuilding this lightdiouse and the pier upon Avhich it is placed. The pier uxion which the buildings stand haAdng become decayed, oxierations have been commenced to take doAvn as much of it as may be found to be necessary and rebuild upon the old foundation, taking in the space embraced in the irregular form on the northeastern front of the x^ier, and to remove the .building back from the southeastern front of the pier, where it has frequently been injured by the jib booms of A'cssels running into it during foggy weather. This light station is on a shoal in Delaware Eiver, and lies close to the main channel, through Avhich all the heavy A^essels pass. At each of the following-named light stations there have been repairs and renoA'ations more or less extensive during the last year : 188. Barnegat, New Jersey, Barnegat Inlet. • 189. Tucker's Beach, New Jersey, near Little Egg Harbor. 192. Cape May, Nevy Jersey, entrance to Delaware Bay. , 195. Belaware Breakwater, Delaware, entrance to Delaware Bay. 197. Maurice River, New Jexse3^, Delaware Bay. 201. Cohansey, New Jersey, Delaware Bay. 202. Bomhay Hook, Delaware, Delaware Bay. 203. Reedy Island, T>el^w^Ye Bsij. 205. Fort Mifflin, Delaware Bay, off Fort Mifflin. 206. Fenwick's Island, sea-coast of DelaAvare. 207. Assateague, sea-coast of Virginia. The following-named light stations require repairs to be made during the ensuing year: 192. Cape May, New Jersey, entrance to Delaware Bay. 193. Cape Henlopen, DelaAvare, entrance to Delaware Bay. 196. Brandywine Shoal, screw-pile light-house, Delaware Bay. 198. Egg Island, New Jersey, Delaware Bay. 203. Reedy Island, Delaware Bay. 356 ' REPORT ON THE FINANCES. • LIG-HT YESSELS. 191. Fivefathom Banlc light-vessel, (No 37.)—Stationed off Cape May, New Jersey. This vessel Avas built by contract at Philadelphia last summer,^ and xilaced in December following on the station in x:>lace of the old A^essel, which required A^ery extensive repairs. Relief light-vessel. No. 18, is now .undergoing very extensive repairs under contract at Philadelphia. When completed she will be kexit at Wilmington, DelaAA^are, to take the x>hice of either of the light-vessels in the district in case they break adrift or require to be brought in for repairs. BUOY DEPOTS. The spare buoys for relief and casualties in this district are at Barnegat Inlet, Little Egg Harbor, and Tucker's Cove, Absecom Inlet and Somer's Point j New Jersey. Those for DelaAvare Bay and Eiver are kept at Wilmington, Delaware, and those for Chiucoteague Inlet, Virginia, are kept there. TENDERS. The small sailing schooner Spray attends uxion the buoys and lights in this district. ' LiaHT-HOUSE AND BUOY I)EPOT, AT CHRISTIANA LiaHT-HOUSE, NEAR WILMINGTON,, DELAWARE. This depot will be commenced this season,,and when sufficiently far adA^anced the sxiare light-A^essel and the sxiare buoys of the district, excexit those for the inlets on the coast, will be laid up at that place. The district suxiplies to meet immediate Avants occasioned by casualties wiU be stored there also for distribution by the tenders. F I F T H DISTRICT. The fifth district extends from Metompkin Inlet, Virginia, to include NCAV EiA^er Inlet, North Carolina, as Avell as Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, and Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds. ' Inspector.—Commodore Thomas A. Dornin. United States Navy, to October 1, 1870; Commander James E. Jouett,.United States NaA^y, Xiresent insxiector. Engineer.—Brevet Brigadier General J. H. Simx>son, colonel of engineers United States Army. In this district there are: 'Light-houses and lighted beacons ..'. : Light-vessels Day or rinlighted beacons Buoys actuallj^ in position Spare buoys for relief and to supply losses Tenders (steam) Heliotrope; Tulip Tender (sail) Maggie , ^. : •. 66 5 89 523 520 2 1 The numbers preceding the names of stations correspond with the '' Light-house List of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts of the United States," issued January 1, 1870. Lamhert's Point, Virginia, east side of Elizaheth River.—A light has been strongly urged for tli^ shoal off this point. Vessels, especially during fogs, are liable to ground on this shoal. The proper kind of structure to mark this shoal will be a square one, supported on one pile LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 357 at each corner and one in the center, similar to those erected elsewhere for the smaller orders of lights, at a cost of about $15,000, for which an appropriation is asked. 211. Willoughhy's Spit, Virginia, Chesapealee Bay.—To complete the changes of light-vessels to screw-xiile light-hous.es in this district, an axipropriation of $20,000 Avill be necessary to erect an iron-xiile structure on Willoughhy's Spit, which lies about two miles to the eastward of Fortress Monroe, in from 8 to 12 feet water, to take the place of the, light-vessel, Avith two expensive lights, which now marks that danger. The structure required for this purpose will be similar to those already placed in Chesapeake Bay, at Smith's Point, Wolf Trap, arid York Sxiit. 215, 216. White Shoals and Point of Shoals iron screw-piles, Virginia, James River.—Approx3riations were made at the last session of Congress of $10,500 for each for rebuilding these two light-houses. The existing structures at these points being in imminent danger of being swept aAA^ay by freshets and ice, as the one at Deep Water Shoals in the same river had been, careful examinations were made of the locations by soundings, and to determine the nature of the bottom at each place x^revious to the preparation of the xilans for rebuilding them. The engineer of the district submitted a rexiort a-nd plans. The x^l^^n of each Avhich has been approA^ed by the board Avill be in general design similar to the one for Deep Water Shoals, substituting a Avooden pile covered Avith a cast-iron screw slecA^e for the solid wrought-iron scrcAv-pile. These structures will in all likelihood be completed during the xiresent fiscal year. 221. Yorlc Spit, iron screw-pile light-house, Virginia, off mouth of York River, Chesapeake Bay.—The iron and Avood work of this light-house were xirepared simultaneously with Woh^ Trap, before the departure of the x>axty for the erection of Wolf Trap light-house. The wliole was kept in store at Baltimore untU needed. On the comx3letion of the foundation of this latter house, AA^hich Avas on the 30 th of June, the site of the structure for York Spit Avas located, and the work of placing the temporary platforms and trestles commenced July 5. A relief lightvessel, Avhich had served to mark the works at Wolf Trap, Avas towed to and anchored at York Spit for the same purpose. From July 22 until August 2, the time was occuxiied in loading the schooner with piles, iron and wood work, and sux3plies necessary for the prosecution of York Sxiit operations. The A^essel left Baltimore August 3, and arrived .at its destination August 5. The x>il^ was driA^en August 10, and the last, or fourteenth one, on the 30th. This shoal proved to be CA^en harder than that of Wolf Trap. In the latter case, the wooden piles, on the supposition that it Avas a A^ery soft bottom, were not shod, and the difficulty experienced in driving them called attention to the necessity of shoeing those at York Spit with iron points. NotAvithstanding this aid, it required 243 bloAvs of a 1,600-pound hammer to eff'ect a Xienetration of 20 feet in the first x^il^- At this date the iron-Avork of the structure is all set uxi and proxierly couxiled together and braced, the staging removed and sent to the Lazaretto depot, and the frame of the house is in position. The structure is iinexceptionably built, and x^i'Ogressing finely, the indication being that it will xirobably be ready for illumination some time in the latter part of November of this yeax. 223. Wolf Trap screw-p>ile light-house, Virginia; Wolf Trap Shoal, Chesapeake Bay.—A contract for the metal Avork of this light-house was made October 22, 1869. The superstructure Avas prepared at the Lazaretto work-shops during the x^ast Avinter and spring. Two schooners. Avere chartered and the party organized April 24. Until May 5 the time Avas occuxiied in loading the iron-AVork, and superstructure, materials, sup 358 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Xilies, &c. May 9 the site, as ax)proA^ed by the board, was identified, and marked by buoys, and the labor of placing the temporary trestles and platforms immediately commenced. Before comxileting this preliminary work a gale carried away such of the trestles as were in position. They were recovered in the' vicinity of New Point Comfort, but the accident caused a Aveek's delay. Since then the work has steadily progressed and a "Notice to Mariners" advertises the light to be exhibited on the evening of October 1, 1870. The light is 2 fixed white of the < > fourth order, varied hy a white flash every thirty seconds', illuminating the entire horizon Avith a focal plane 38 feet above ordinary sea-level, and Adsible for a distance of 11J nautical miles. A fog bell of 500 pounds weight, struck by Stevens's axiparatus at intervals of fifteen seconds, is Xilaced on the eastern side of the light-house. The suxoerstructure is painted a lead color to conform to the color of the light-vessel which the light-house replaces. The shoal, instead of being a hard crust of 6 feet of sand, overlying a soft substratum of, mud, as was suxiposed, and on AAdiich predication Avas x>rexiared the x^lan for a foundation of Avooden Xiiles covered with cast-iron screw sleeves, x^enetrating 4 feet, proved to be extremely hard as fax as the x^il^s penetrated. There is no doubt that the structure as it is built will have all the stability requisite to resist the severest storms and the heaAdest ice. Love Point Shoal, iron screw-pile light-house, Maryland, north end oj Kent Island,^ Chesapeake Bay.—An axiproxiriation having been made (this being the second time an axiproxiriation has been made for this purpose) for the erection of an iron scrcAv-pile light-house on the shoal Avaters off from the northern end of Kent Island, an examination has been made oi the shoal and the X3lan for the structure ax3proved by the board, Avhich, as in the cases of the structures for White Shoals and Point of Shoals, is to be similar in general design to light-house at Deep Water Shoals, James Eiver, but modified as to details. The structureds to stand in 10-feet Avater, and a little over a mile from the north end of Kent Island. I t Avill differ from those ordered for James Eiver in that there are to be four ice-breakers instead of tAvo. The draAvings and specifications are noAv being xirepared, and the work will be finished within the present fiscal year. Craighill Channel, leading from Chesapealee Bay into the Patapsco River, Maryland.—An estimate has been submitted in the annual estimates for the next fiscal year, based upon xilans x)rep,kred by the engineer of the district for two scrcAv-xiile lights to serve as a range \>j day and by night for the new Craighill Channel leading from the Chesapeake Bay into the Brewerton Channel of the Patapsco Eiver, about 15 miles from the harbor of Baltimore. This channel has been laid out and deepened with appropriations made by Congress under the direction and superintendence of officers of engineers. The channel is UOAV 200 feet wide, with a dexith at mean low tide of 21 feet. It will be completed during the current fiscal year at a x^robable Avidth A^arying from 300 to 500 feet, and it is urged that it is of the utmost importance, in order that it may be safely used day and night, that these two light-houses be authorized and built at the earliest practicable moment. It is understood that the depth in this channel, although good, is still increasing, and continued use, especially by x^roxieller steamers, Avill do more than anything else to keexi it open and possibly improve it, thereby relieving the GoA^ernment from an annual expense for dredging. It is believed that the establishment of these two lights would render the two expensive lights built on jetties at North Point unnecessary for all x^rac^ical x3nrposes, and might be dispensed Avith. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 359 244. Lazaretto Point light-house, Maryland, Baltimore Harhor.—The excaA^ation made by the contractor at Lazaretto Point light house grounds, under a contract for mining iron ore, has been filled and graded by him, and the soil which had been preserA^ed spread over the excavated xilace. A survey of the Lazaretto Point light-house lot Avas made, and a x^lat of it forAvarded to the office of Light-house Board in March, 1870. The frame-work of the toAver to support the fog-bell and striking apparatus ordered for this point Avas commenced at Lazaretto workshops in the month of November 1869. Agreeable to "Notice to Mariners,"its readiness for use,dates January 1, 1870. The bell Avas made to strike at regular interA^als of ten seconds. The toAver stands immediately adjoining the light-tower and betAveen it and the Patapsco EiA^er. In the same "Notice to Mariners" Avhich gave publicitjT^ to the fog-bell, the change in the Lazaretto Point light from white to red Avas noticed. This alteration Avas made on account of the proximity of the light to iron furnaces and a rolling-mill, Avhich rendered it difficult to distinguish between the light of the cupolas of these factories and the light of the light-tower. 253. Fort Washington heacon, Maryland, Fort Washington, Potomac River.—In November 1869 orders were issued to prepare the framework ol* a beacon-light to rexilace the temporary x^ost and lantern at Fort Washington. I t was prexmred at the Lazaretto workshops in December. February 1 the steam-tender Tulixi, with a xiarty and the necessary supplies and apxiliances, proceeded to the locality for the purpose of putting up the beacon. This structure, furnished Avith a lens of the sixth order and a lantern of the portable beacon xiattern, Avas completed on the 18th February. A first-class light-house hetween Cape Henry and Bodies Island, North Carolina.—With the completion of the rebuilding of the Bpdies Island light-house on the coast of North Carolina, to the north of Cape Hatteras, for the commencement of which an axiprox3riation was made.at the last session of Congress, and the necessary sum for comxileting it estimated for this year, there Avill remain only one important break of unlighted coast on the Atlantic fromthe St. Croix, Maine, to about Mos^xuito Inlet, on the coast of Florida, and that dark space will be embraced betAveen Cape Henry and Bodies Island, a distance of 80 miles, and an unlighted space of 40 miles, at the center of which latter there should be a firstorder light, so that from Cape Henry to Cape Hatteras the broad side of that long stretch of low land and dangers could not be approached within 18 or 20 miles without seeing a Avarning of danger. In order to aA^oid the strong current of the Gulf stream, vessels bound around Cape Hatteras from the northern and eastern x3orts run inside of the cold Avail of water of that stream, Avithin Avhich they liaA^e a favorable current of over, on an average, one mile an hour, and a smoother sea in bad weather; but in the absence of powerful sea-coast lights sufficiently near to each other to give warning of axiproach to danger, many A^essels laden AAdth valuable lives and cargoes have been lost annually between these two x)oints. No estimate for a light to suxixily this want has been submitted this year, but as the subject was discussed before the committee of approxiriations last 3^ear, when it seemed to be considered adAdsable to wait a little longer, in Adew of other x^ressing Avahts at that time, the facts are respectfully again submitted for such consideration and action as may be deemed best. Bodies Island, sea-coast of North Carolina.—An ax3prox3riation was made at the last session of Congress (July 15,1870) for commencing the erection of a light-house at or near the site of the former light Avhich 360 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. marked this part of the coast x^rior to its destruction during the rebellion. Steps have been taken x^repaxatory to an early commencement of this important Avork. It is designed to build it of brick, with a focal plane of about 150 feet aboA^e the mean level of the sea. The SCOAVS and other movable articles which are UOAA^ and haA^e been in use at Cax^e Hatteras, will at an early day be available for transfer to this light station. 256. Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.—The oxierations on this edifice progressed raxiidly and satisfactorily un.der the direction of the engineer of the district from the date of the last annual report until the 16th of June. By this time the entire xiortion of the brick Avork of the tower beneath the iron capital Avhich carries the lantern was ^completed. All the AvindoAv frames were set, and four flights of the iron stairway in position, and their landings arched. The work thus far has been of the most thorough character, the iron Avork furnished by the contractors is excellent, and the brick laid in the most substantial manner, each brick being completely embraced in the best kind of cement mortar, and each course as it was laid brought truly to the batter and leveled. The cement and brick used were of unexceptionable quality. The structure thus far glA^es the assurance that it Avill meet in CA^ery resxiect the anticixiations of the Light-house Board. The tower haAdng attained the aboA^e height of 153J feet, a delay occurred in xirocuring the iron Avork of the caxDital, and as nothing more could be done Avithout, it Avas ordered on the 16th of June to suspend operations and AvitihdraAv the force until such time as the castings would be ready, and to leave a fcAv men for the necessaiy care of the tower and materials. The caxiital finally adAmncing toward comx)letion at the workshops, the steamer Tulix^ Avas dispatched on the 10th September with a party in order to make x^reparations for the recex)tion and setting up of the iron work.' Two A^essels Avere subsequently chartered for the purpose of carrying the iron Avork of the capital, suxDX^bcs, &c., and on the 27th they left under tow of the steam tender Tulix'), via the Albe-. marie and Cbesaxaeake Canal, for the Avork. The following is a brief summary of each month's operations till temporary suspension: On the 25th of September, 1869, the. ninth course of granite quoins was set up and backed Avith brick, as was also a portion of the tenth course. During November extensiA^e repairs Avere made to ^fhe old dAvelling, and a large quantity of filling in of sand and soil was made in a slough surrounding the house. January 30, brick work reached a height of 32 feet aboA^e the main floor. Axiril 30, the tower had reached a height of 103 feet aboA^e ground, making it 97 feet above the maiii floor. The first two flights of iron stairway were also xilaced in position, as AA^ere also the wrought iron oil tanks. May 28, a height of. 147 feet from the ground or 141 feet aboA^^e main floor Avas reached. June 16, the brick Avork was leveled up to a height of 153J feet from, the ground to the loAver edge of the necking or belt course of the capital. Four flights of the iron stairwaj^ Avere in xiosition in the cylinder. At this date the work Avas temporarily suspended as aboA^e related. The iron casing of the watch-room and the lantern are now beingplaced, and it is expected that the entire height (180 feet to focal X3lane) will be comxileted before the ensuing winter. This will be the highest brick light-house tower in the Avorld. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 361 Hatteras Inlet, entrance to the sounds of North Carolina.'—A light was authorized Maxch 3, 1859, to be established at Hatteras Inlet, the entrance to the sounds of North Carolina, but it Avas not commenced, before the breaking out of the rebellion, and afterward it could not be built. This is at present the best inlet leading to and from the sounds of North Carolina, with which there is a A^ery large trade. This inlet is 14 miles southwest from Cax3e Hatteras, Avithin the range of the influence of that cape ux^on the Aveather, and as the channel is narrow and only marked by buoys, it is dangerous to attempt to enter or ,pass out at night for Avant of a small light. An estimate has been submitted for the erection of a suitable light at this place. At each of the following-named light stations there have been repairs and renoYatioiis more or less extensive during the last year: 210. Cape Henry, Virginia, entrance to Chesapeake Bay. 215. White Shoal screw-pile light-house, Virginia, James EiA^er. 220. Back River, Virginia, entrance to Back Eiver. 224. Stingray Point, Virginia, mouth of Eappahannock Eiver, Chesapeake Bay. , ^ 226.

Fishing Battery, M.2iryl2im\, mouth of Susquehanna Eiver, Chesapeake Bay. 248. Havre de Grace, Maryland, Concord Point, mouth of Susquehanna EiA^er, Chesapeake Bay. 249. Piney Point., Maryland, Potomac Eiver. 250. Blackistone's Island, Maryland, entrance to Clement's Bay, Potomac Eiver. 251. Lower Cedar Point screw-pile light-house^ Virginia, Yates Shoal, Potomac EiA^er. 252. Upper Cedar Point screw-pile light-house, Maryland, off mouth of Tobacco Eiver, Potomac Eiver. 253. Fort Washington, Maryland, Potomac Eiver. 254. Jones's Point, Virginia, Potomac EiA^er, near Alexandria.

Upon the comx3letion of the York Spit screw-pile light-house, now in course of construction and near comxiletion, there will be but two lightvessels actually at stations in the district. Those removed, retaining one in the district after being put in good repair, Avill be sent to the third district to serve as reliefs to the light-A^essels in that district, in case of needed repairs or of breaking adrift. Should Congress grant the axixiropriation asked for the erection of the proxiosed scrcAv-xiile lighthouse as a substitute for the expensive double light-A^essel light at Willoughby Sx3it, and the general appropriation will allow of the erection LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 363 of a small screw-pile light-house to take the place of the light-vessel in the Choxitank Eiver, there Avill thereafter be no light-vessel in this large district. DEPOTS. This district is very deficient in xiroxier places for the storage ofispare buoys and their fixtures. The one at the Lazaretto light station below Baltimore serves for the storage of a few buoys for use in the upx^er Chesapeake and tributaries. A lot has been procured at Portsmouth, Virginia, for a central depot for light-vessels and buoys, and for such small supxiUes as are necessarily kexit in each district to meet cases of emergency. TENDERS. The steam tender Heliotrope and the small sailing schooner Maggie are employed almost exclusiA^ely in keex3ing the buoys in position and deliA^ering supplieso During these visits, however, insxiections are generally made by the inspector. The steam tender Tulip is emx3loyed under the direction of the engineer of the district in transporting materials and labor to new light stations and to such old ones as require repairs. These vessels, from constant use, age, and small repairs made upon them, need extensiA^e repairs a,t this time. SIXTH DISTRICT. The sixth district 'extends from New Eiver, North Carolina, to include Cape Canaveral light-house, Florida. Inspector.—Captain Bayse N. Wescott, United States Navy, to October 1, 1870; Captain Eichard T. Eenshaw, United States Navy, present inspector. Engineer.—BrcA^et Major George Burroughs, captain of engineers United States Army, to the time of his death, January 22,1870; BrcA^et Major William J. Twining, caxitain of engineers. United States Army, present engineer. In this district there are: Light-houses and lighted beacons Light-houses and lighted beacons destroyed during the rebellion and not rebuilt Light-houses and lighted beacons extinguished during the rebellion and not relighted sincC; structures not destroyed Day or unlighted beacons Light-vessels i Buoys actually injDOsition Spare buoys for x.^'~^ef and to supply losses i Tender (steam) Yei^^na Tender (sail) NarragaiK^tt .^ 27 14 9 52 6 168 25 1 1 The folloAving numbers preceding the names of stations correspond with those of the "Light-house Lists of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts of the United States," issued January 1, 1870. • 281. Sullivan's Island heacon, Charleston Harhor, South CaroUna.— The xiresent beacon-light at this place is a temporary open frame-work, wooden structure, erected upon the roof of a private residence, and retained there against the wishes of the owner. It is in v^ery bad condition. This light was established in its present position immediately after the surrender of Charleston in the spring of 1865, to enable the vessels of the Navy and those of commerce to navigate the channel safely at night, leading from the inside of the outer bar of the main channel to the turning point near Fort Moultrie. An ax3propriation was made 364 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. by Congress March 3, 1859 for two beacon range-lights on Sullivan's Island, Avhich Avere destroyed during the rebellion, and on July 20,1868, an axipropriation of $15,000 was made for rebuilding these liglits; but failing to obtain valid title to the necessary land upon v/hich to place them, and the required cession of jurisdiction by the State, the appropriation reverted to the treasury under the oxoeration of the fifth and si:5tth sections of the act approved July 12, 1870.^ No further steps can be taken toward the rebuilding of these structures until a reappropriation, which has been asked, is niade. It is understood that there will be neither difficulty nor unnecessaiy delay herieafter in obtaining from the State authorities during the next session of the legislature both a valid title to and cession of jurisdiction over the sites. These lights are essential to the easy and safe navigation of the main channel inside of the bar, and, Avhen established and the lights exhibited, Avill render the Weehauken light-A^essel now placed in the channel, which these lights were designed to. mark, unnecessary, and cause an annual saving of about $5,000, the cost and maintenance of that A^essel, independently of natural wear and tear of the A^essel and her equipments. 282. Fort Sumter, Charleston Harhor, South Carolina.—In case the work on the fort is resumed by the military authorities, the light-house structures will have to be lowered about 15 feet, and possibly it may become necessaiy to remove them entirely from their present positions. Morris Island range-lights, Charleston Harhor, South. Carolina.—The two beacon-lights authorized to be xilaced on Morris Island, to sexA^e as a range for the present deepest channel, knoAvn as the Pumpkin Hill Channel, haye been comxileted, their lights exhibited, and the Eattlesnake Shoals light-vessel restored to her proxier position off' Ea|3tlesnake Shoals. Baufuskie Island range liglits, Calihogue Sound, South Carolina.—To mark the entrance into Calibogue Sound, and facilitate the passage from Port Eoyal Haxbor to Savannah Eiver, an ax3proxiriation for a light-house at Braddock's Point, Georgia, to mark this channel, reverted to the treasury b}^ act of 12th J[uly, 1870. This inside channel is used by the passenger steamers x^^yii^^ between Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia, and by some sailing A^essels. The entrance of Calibogue Sound passes between the Grenadier breakers on the west and a long series of shoals and breakers on the east; the deepest water being found along a tortuous channel, for Avhich a single light station, however situated, would be a A'^ery indiff'erent guide. I t may be assumed that the A^essels making use of this channel do not draAA^ more than 6J feet, this being the extreme draught for those steamers carrying passengers which are compelled to make their xiassage by night. Witliout Avind or tide to affect their direction, vessels Avould haA^e no difficulty in steering a true course, proAdded a single light Avere shown either on the extremity of Braddock's Point or on some one of the adjacent shoals. This, however, is not the case. There is an east and west current crossing the channel at right angles, and A^arying in direction and intensity with the state of the Avind and tide. From the force of this varying current A^essels are carried ciut of their true direction, and are liable to go ashore, either on the west breakers or the eastern shoals. It is to be remarked also that this bay is open and exposed to the full force of the Atlantic Ocean. If a single light is to be shown, its xiroper position is at a point on the shoal south of Braddock's Point, and west of the mouth of New EiA^er, and not at Braddock's Point; but a careful examination of the soundings near by shows great irregularity in the bottom, Avhich indicate constant change, and the board is not disposed to recommend LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 365 the erection of a light on this shoal on account, of the expense, and because a pair of range lights situated on Daufuskie Island would fulfill morp perfectly the conditions required than can be done by a single light. An axixiropriation of $15,000 is recommended in lieu of the reverted Braddock's Point apx3ropriation. 286. Tyhee entrance to Savannah River, 6^eor^m.—The tower ofthe main light (Avhich has been rebuilt since the close of the rebellion) is founded on the base of the old tower. This light station is Yery unhealthy, which is mainly attributable, it is believed, to a small swamp which lies immediately in the rear of the keeper's dwelling. Before the rebellion, this swamp was drained by carrying the water to a loAvfer level; but the drain having become obstructed, it Avill be necessary to reopen it, Avhich will be done during the dry season this fall and winter. . 2^^. Tyhee Kno ll. Savannah River,. Georgia.—The approxiriation for erectin g a suitable light-house, to take the place ofthe light-A^essel stationed to mark this danger, rcA^erted to the treasury under act of July 12,1870. As it was supposed a scrcAv-pile structure could be readily built, a pevsonal examination was made by the engineer, and he selected the proper site, marking the spot with a watch hnoj. Although the bottom appeared to be hard, and the lead brought up a clear sharp sand, he was convinced, from the general axipearance of the shore beloAV Fort Pulaski, and from finding doubtful bottom within 400 feet of the knoll, that the apxiarent hard surface rested over a layer of soft mud. He therefore caused borings to be made both at the ]iuoy mentioned and a shoal sxiot distant 600 feet; both these borings showed a stratum of soft mud underlying the hard surface. The first boring was driA'^en 13 feet, and the second 19. It is to be regretted that the defective character of the apparatus emxiloyed and the state of the weather x^i^A^ented the auger from being driven deexi enough to determine the thickness of the soft bed and the character of the substratum; but from what Avas done the engineer is of the opinion that it is impracticable to construct a light-house on the plan originally contemxilated, or on any plan, excexit at an unwarrantable exxiense. I t has been suggested that a light xilaced on the opposite side of the channel, and near the first buoy above thelight-ship, would a^nswer the purpose as far as the knoll is concerned. But in this, case a,n important incidental advantage would be lost in such a position, that, with the beacon on Oyster Bed, it Avould giA^e a range.xiassing clear of a small lumxi Avliich lies in mid-channel about a mile beloAv. Further examination Avill be made at this locality before a reaxipropriation, as recommended, will be used. St. Simon's entrance to St. Simon's Sound, Georgia.—After due public notice a contract was entered into with the lowest bidders for rebuilding a light-house tower 100 feet high and the other necessary buildings at this place. The contractors agreed to comxilete these works in conformity to the specifications and terms of the contracts VNdthin a x^rescribed period of time, but finding that the Avork could not, from delays in xirocuring and landing the materials at the site, and, in commencing the ox3erations, that it would be imxiossible to x^i'ox^erly construct the tower and buildings Avithin the remainder of the prescribed time, it was extended to NoA^eiiibex 1, 1870, by Avhich time it is hoped the buildings will be satisfactorily comxileted, so that the light may be exhibited at an early day thereafter. During the last summer there has been a great deal of sickness in that vicinity, and one of the contractors, Avho Avas on the spot, died. Little Cumherland entrance to S t Andrew's Sound, Georgia.—The sea appears to be encroaching.upon the land to the northwest of the light 366 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. hoiise tower at this place, but, at what rate of approach, sufficient time has not elapsed since special obserA^ations have been made to determine Avith any degree of certainty. As the encroachment is at present confined to the inner side, it may be arrested, Avhenever it becomes so serious as to threaten the foundation of the tower, at a comparatively small cost. No steps are considered necessary to be taken. at this time, and it may be seA^^eral years before sufficient inroad is made to, require any -great exxienditure of money in protecting this site. Amelia Island inner range heacons, to enter St. Mary's, Georgia, and Fernandina, Florida.—These beacons, established near Fort Clinch and destroyed during the rebellion, are now. required to meet the wants of a growing navigation interest, and an estimate has been submitted to supxily the deficiency caused by the appropriation for "restoring lights on the southern coast" haAdng reverted to the treasury under the act of July 12, 1870. Bames' Point. St. John's River, Florida.—A light-vessel Avas provided bylauthority oi laAv x^rior to 1861, and xilaced to mark the channel of the St. John's Eiver, Florida, around Dames' Point. That A'^essel was removed during the rebelliou. The navigation of that river to Jacksonville, Pilatka, and the intermediate settlements haAdng been rencAA^ed Avithin the last two or three years, the construction'of that or other similar aid to mark that point has been strongly urged. An estimate for a screAV-x3ile light-house similar to those erected in the waters of the Chesaxieake and North Carolina has been submitted, to be placed on the shoal opposite to Dames' Point, as being more economical and better suited for. the purpose than a light-vessel. 301. St. Augustine, north end of Anastasia Island, Florida.—This station, erected in 1823, is in a fair,condition and requires no special repair. In any case it Avould not be worth Avhile to make any repairs to the dAvelling, as the sea is encroaching on the shore at so rapid a rate that the dAvelling will be untenable in the course of one year. Eeports on this encroachment liaA^e been made to the board from time to time. A letter has jiist been received, reporting a further cutting of 13 feet, due to the northeast gales of the past month. Two methods of rexiair have been considered, one x')rotecting a long stretch of shore line (2,400 feetj Avith brush, the other protecting the immediate locality by cribwork. The oxiinion Avas had that the latter method (if any) should be adopted for two reasons. First, that the sea line was so near the statibn that no further encroachments could be allowed, and that x'>rotection should therefore be x^^if^ct and x3crmaneiit; second, that throwing an angular crib-Avork in front of the threatened point would, as the shore cut away on either flank, deflect the tidal currents, and, after a certain time, cause a deposit on one or both sides. Either method Avould involve a large amount of .money to insure success; that by crib-work, not less than $15,000. It is UOAV considered thatthe time has passed for protecting the site, and it only remains to consider the kind of light-house to be built Avlien the x)i'csent one is destroyed. The height of the old tower above the mean level of the sea is 73 feet, giving it a visible horizon.of only 14 miles. The distance from this light to that at Cape Canaveral is about 100 miles, Avith no intermediate light, so that there is now an unlighted length of coast of al^out 60 miles. The board is therefore of the opinion that the new light should not be less than 150 feet high, and this, Avith a similar one at or near Mosquito Inlet and the light at Cape CanaA^eral, would eff'ectually light the coast from St. Augustine to the latter. If this is accepted, a new toAver must be constructed, and in such a position, as will insure it from future changes of the shore line. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 367 In selecting such a site AVC may throw out of account the consideration of range or direction of the channel, as this is constantly changing. By going 600 yards to the west of the x^i'^sent station, and toward the inner side of Anastasia Island, the condition of safety Avill be fulfilled as the currents from the uxix^cr and lower rivers meet and deposit. their sediment ox^x^osite this point. The only thing lost would be that amount in the distance at which the light would be Adsible at sea. The erection of a tOAver not less than 150 feet from base to focal xilane, and at or near the point mentioned, is recommended, and an appropriation therefor of $125,000. Mosqiiito Inlet, east coast.of Florida.—In obedience to instructions of the board, the engineer of the district has Adsited Mosquito Inlet, for the xiurpose of rex^orting on the necessity and practicability of a light at that point. In common Avith all the inlets and harbors on the east coast of Florida, this bar shifts constantly, so that no soundings can be relied on. The general. effect of westerly Avinds is to reduce the dexith of Avater, and that of northeasterly gales to increase it; thus the inlet may be oxiened or closed one or more times each year. The Avrecks lying on or near the bar give a practical illustration of the uncertainty of the channel. For all practical x^iirposes of construction of a lighthouse, it may, howcA^er, be safely assumed that the material can be deliA'cred without any A^ery serious difficulty or delay, altfiough additional exxiense Avould be incurred by reason of the remoteness of the station and the small size vessels that would be required for transportation. A s regards the.necessity of a light at this point, it is manifest that the commerce x:)assing through the inlet would not justify an exxienditure by the United States for a light for merely local x^nrp^^ses, or at least that there are other xioints that may justly take x^recedence of it. But a light-house between St. Augustine and Caxie Canaveral lights is necessary as one of a system of coast lights, and Mosquito Inlet is undoubtedly the proper site, as, in the first xilace, the light there Avould answer the double purpose of a harbor and coast guide, and in the second for a lauding-xilace, both for the original construction and subsequent suxiply and insxiection, Avhich could be made with more safety and certainty there than at any other point along the oxien .sea beach. A toAver 150 feet high lighted by a first order Fresnel lens is recommended for this position, and for the commencement of its construction an axix^rox^riation of $60,000. At each of the following-named light stations, there have been repairs and renovations, more or less extensive, during the last year, viz.: 276. Georgetown, South Carolina, entrance to WinyaAV Bay.. 277. Cape Remain, South Carolina. 289. Cockspur, Gecx-gia, SaA^annah Eiver. 292. Sapelo, Georgia, entrance to Dobey Sound. 297. Little Cumherland, Georgia, entrance to St. Andrew's Sound. 298, 299. Amelia Island Range-lights^ Florida, St. Mary's Bar, Fernandina. 302. Cape Canaveral, east coast pf Florida. The following-named light stations require repairs to be made during the ensuing year, viz.: 272. Federal Point, North Carolina, New Inlet, Cape Fear Eiver. 274, 275. Oak Island Range-lights, North Carolina, mouth of Cape Fear Eiver. 276. Georgetown, South Carolina, entrance to Winyaw Bay. 277. Cape Romain, South Carolina. 368 REPORT ON THE FINANCES.

The relief light-vessel has been put in good repair, and is kept at the depot in Charleston for immediate use. DEPOT. , The only depot for supplies and buoys in the district is at Fort Johnson, Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. • ' TENDERS. The steam tender Alanthus was built last year and sent to the district. The sailing tender Du Pont, being inefficient for the service required of her, Avas sold, and the amount of sale turned into the treasury. The sailing schooner Maggie Avas sent to the fifth district to assist in placing and keexiing the buoys in position in that district. The sailing schooner Narragansett has been emxiloyed in transporting materials and labor for repairs of light-houses, under the direction of the engineer of the district. , , SEYENTH DISTRICT. This district extends from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to include Cedar Keys, Florida. • ^ Inspector.—G'^^pt2^in F. S. Haggerty, United States Navy, to October 1, 1870; Commander Charles A. Babcock, United States Navy, present inspector. . Engineer.—Brevet Colonel C. E. Blunt, lieutenant colonel of engineers United States Army, to March 21, 1870; James B.

LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 369 In this district there axe— Light-houses and lighted beacons Day and unlighted beacons Buoys actually in position Spare buoys for relief aad to supply losses Tender (steam-tug) Commodore Tender (sail) l^lorida Day or uulighted beacons on the seaward side of Florida Reefs • 10 16 81 44 1 1 16 The numbers x^i'eceding the names of stations correspond Avith those of the "Light-house List of the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts of the United States," issued January 1, 1870. In 1862 there Avere sixteen iron screw-pile beacons standing on the outer points of the reefs of Florida, extending from the "Fow^ey Eocks" beacon, near Cape Florida light-house, to Key West, Florida. These beacons were of a sufficient height to be seen by day at safe distances from the reefs by A^essels navigating closely to their line, and each one so marked and distinguished by letters of the alphabet as to be known to passing vessels, and afforded them the means of determining Avith accuracy their x')ositions. From inability to keep these aids in proper repair, during the rebellion, many of them Avere damaged, and some thrown down by the action of winds and sea. An a>ppropriation of $50,000 was made March 3, 1869, for restoring the missing beacons, repaiiing those damaged, and comXDleting the system. Ten of those iron day-beacons Avere delivered at Key West, Florida, by the contractor in December 1869. As soon as the necessary arrangements could be made, a,nd the season of quiet, calm weather came round, work Avas commenced at the beacon sites, aiid such x^i'ogress made as Aveather and the x^eculiar character of the Avork would permit. After rexilacing two of these beacons, and recovering two Avhich had been throAvn down by the storms, instructions had to be given to discontinue further ox')erations for Avant of funds, the approxiriation having re Averted to the treasury under the operation of the fifth and sixth sections of the act of July 12, 1870. These day-marks have been, while up, of incalculable benefit to A^essels navigating that dangerous pass; and, both during and since the rebellion, repeated apxilications have been made for their entire restoration, so that there may be no break in the system from the eastern to the Avestern end of these dangerous reefs. Alligator Reef, Florida Reefs.—An approxiriation Avas made at the last session of Congress (July 15, 1870) for commencing the construction of a first-class sea-coast light on this remaining imxiortant unlighted point on this dangerous coast. The structure is designed to be on iron piles, Avitli a focal plane of 150 feet above the mean level of the sea. The great imxiortance of marking this salient point of these dangerous reefs, and comx)leting the system as originally x^lanned, can. hardl^^ be estimated. The Avork at such a point, depending upon both wind aud sea, to say nothing of the health of the mechanics and laborers in such a climate, must necessarily make comparatively SIOAV progress after the material, Avhich must be x^rex^ared at the workshoxis at the North, shall all have been deliA^ered at the extemporized depot, on the main land opposite the site. At each of the following-named light stations there have been repairs and renovations more or less extensive duiing the last year: 303. Jupiter Inlet, east coast of Florida. 304. Cape Florida, Florida. 310. Bry Tortugas, 24 F 370 REPORT ON T H E FINANCES. 311. Bry Tortugas Harhor, Fort Jeff'erson. Eepairs (chiefly repainting of iron-work) Avill be required at the following light stations during the ensuing year : 303. Jupiter Inlet, Florida. 304. Cape Florida, Florida Reefs, off southern coast of Florida. 305.' Carysfort Reef, iron-pile light-house, Florida Eeefs, off' coast of Florida. 306.

Egmont, entrance to Tamxoa Bay, Florida. LIGI-IT-YESSELS. There are no light-vessels in this district. BUOY DEPOTS, ETC. Key West.—At this place spare supxilies and most of the spare buoys of the district are kept. Buoys are xilaced at scA^eral of the light stations in readiness for use, as reliefs to rexilace those lost. ' TENDERS. The little steamer-tug Commodore Avas purchased and sent to the district last sx3ring to enable the engineer to carry on the work of rebuilding the beacons on the Florida Eeefs. The sailing schooner Florida has been in that district for many years, emxiloyed in looking after the buoys, deliA^ering supplies other than are annual, and for Adsiting the light stations periodically. These lights are all at remote and isolated points, and can only be reached by a vessel. A small steamer Avould be more eff'ectiA'C and equally economical. The Ijresent sailing tender is too old for economical repair, and her xilace must be filled beforey^ery long. EIGHTH DISTRICT.

Cape San Bias, Florida.—Tenthousand dollars Avas apxiroxiriated by act of Congress July 15, 1870, for a new dAvelling for the keeper at this station, and iplans are now prepaxing for its erection during the coming season. The wearing of the beach near the light-house indicates that stexis Avill have to be taken toward its x^i'otection Avithin a few years. The new dwelling will be placed in a safe position, 300 or 400 yards from the light tower. 318. Pensacola, Florida.—The beacon range-light for the outer main channel will have to be removed at an early day, as the sand-bank uxion Avhich it is x)laced is greatly worn aAvaj^, and is wearing daily bA" the action of theAvinds and waA^es, so that it will soon be in danger of falling. The Cay'cas rangedights,serAdng as a guide for the middle parts of the main channel, were destroyed during the rebellion, and ought to be reestablishedsoon, as the lumber business of the tributaries of Pensacola Bay is being raxiidl^^ reestablished. No estimate has been submitted. If the bala,nce of the appropriation remaining in the treasury at the date of the xiassage of the act of July 12, 1870, causing all balances to revert to the surplus fund on accountof the approxiriation for " restoring aids tonavigation on the southern coast destroyed during the rebellion," had remained available, these aud other Avorks of small cost AvouId have been reestablished with the least aA'-oidable delay. 319. Sand Island, off Mohile Bay, Alahama.—At this station the firstclass light-house tower and other buildings belonging to it hajving been destroyed by the rebels, at the close of hostilities a temporary tower and keeper's dwelling were constructed, and the station remains in that condition at x^i'^sseiit. An apxiroxiriation was made in 1856 for a seacoast light at this point; the light-house toAver was built and the light exhibited. In 1861 the rebels destroyed it. Congress having made an axix^iopriation for rebuilding this light-house tower, plans were being Xirepared and the necessary steps being taken for arranging for landing the material, when the money reverted to the treasury under the operation of the fifth and sixth sections ofthe act of July 12, 1870, and arrested further progress of the Avork. The light is a very imxiortant oue to commerce, and a reapprox^riation has been submitted in the annual estiniates. The sea has made such inroads upon the eastern side of this island, on which the temxiorary light-house and keeper's dwelling are ^ placed, as to endanger their safety during a heaA^y gale from the eastAvard. These buildings being on a small sand-hill ouly 47 feet from the water-line, it is designed to place the temporary light upon the top of a building standing a short distance from the present buildings, and fit it for the greater comfort of the keeper during the ensuing winter, and until an ax3prox3riation is aA^ailable for constructing a permanent tower and keeper's quarters. 320. Mohile Point, entrance to Mohile Bay, Alahama.—The light placed on the southern xioint of Mobile Point, and Avithin a short distance of Fort Morgan, was destroyed by Admiral Faxragut's fleet on the 5th August, 1864, in passing into Mobile Bay. After the surrender of the rebel armies a temporary light and keeper's dwelling were constructed, and the light exhibited. An axix^roxiriation was made for reestablishing this light, by the erection of suitable buildings, &c., but before the Avork could be economically commenced, (the eff'ort and desire being to carry on the several works authorized in that vicinity together,) the appropriation reverted to the treasury under the operations of the 372 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. fifth and sixth sections ofthe act of July 12, 1870, and no further steps can be taken until a reax3X3roxiriation is made. The dAvelling of the keeper, like that on Sand Island, is in very bad condition, and scarcely habitable, but not fit under the circumstances to sx^end money upon in repairs. Battery Gladden, upper part of Mohile Bay, Alahama.^Un^ev the approxiriation for "reestablishing lights on the southern coast," an iron screw-x^ile light-house Avas xHirchased and sent to Mobile to be erected on this site, and to be substituted for the old Choctaw Point light, rendered useless by changes in the channel, groAving doubtless out ofthe defensiA^e works erected during the rebellion; but, before the building, could be erected, and while the operations Avere going on, they Avere arrested by the passage of the act of July 12, 1870,- carrying this fund into the treasuiy. A small sum has been submitted in the annual estimates for comxileting this work. • Bog River Bar range-lights, Mohile Bay, Alaham.a.—At the breaking out of the rebellion, and for many years prior to that time, there Avere t V small lights, which had been authorized by Congress, to serve as a AO range for that part of the channel in the uxiper partof Mobile Bay known as "Dog Eiver Bar." Without the restoration of these rangelights upon xiroper sites, the upper x^art of that bay cannot be navigated at night by A^essels of the draught usually entering the harbor, therefore an estimate has been submitted for that object. 325. Cat Island, Mississippi Sounds Mississippi.—This A'Cry useful and imxiortant light in navigating Mississippi Sound betAveen Mobile Bay and Lake Pontchartrain was destroyed during the rebellion. Congress made an approxiriation for rebuilding it. Bids had been called for, and tenders Avere being receiA^ed upon x^laris and specifications x^i'^viously Xirexiared to suit the site ux^on AAdiich it had been determined to erect the ncAv iron scrcAv-pile light-house, Avhen the Avork was arrested by the passage of the act of July 12, 1870, causing the approxiriation to revert to the treasury. 329. East Rigolet, Pleasonton's Island, Louisiana.—The keexier's dwelling at this station is old and not worth the cost of the extensive rexiairs it Avould require to put it in good order. A new building Avould cost very little more. It is hoAvever habitable for that climate, and no estimate has been submitted for a UCAV structure at this time. 330. Proctorsville Beacon, Lake Borgne, Louisiana.—An elevated structure, on the plan of the light-house at the head of the passes, Mississippi Eiver, Avas recommended in thelast annual rexiort. The locality being subject to inundations in heaA-y easterly gales, it Avill be necessary to raise the structure about 8 feet aboA^e the ground. ' As Avooden x^dcs are. considered good enough for the purxiose, and as the Avork can be economically done, owing to its x^roximity to New Orleans, an apxiropriation of only $5,000 has been asked for for the x^mpose. This is one of the Avorks Avhich could have been included in the apxirox'>riation for "restoring lights on the southern coast" if the balance had not been carried, in last July, to the surxilus fund. 331. West Rigolets, eastern entrance to Lalce Pontchartrain, Louisiana.— The Avliarf and breakwater at this station were destroyed by the gales of September 1869, and general rexiairs t o t h e keexier's dwelling were asked for, including a UCAV slate roof, plank Avharf over the marsh, and a new breakAvater; but these Avorks have been deferred for the xn-esent. Pointe aux Herhes, Louisiana.—The axiproxiriation for a ligbt^-house at this place having rcA^erted to the treasury under th^ operation of the act of July 12, 1870, steps toAvards purchasing the site and perfecting LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 373 the title were arrested. The owner of the land had agreed to sell the necessary quantity of land at $10 per acre, but until a reapx^ropriation is available no engagement can be entered into with the owner for it. 332. Port Pontchartrain, Louisiana.—The light-house toAver, built of brick, stands in a depth of about two feet water in ordinary stages of the tides. About tAvo years since the base of the tower wa;s surrounded by a square inclosure of piles and x^lanking filled in with concrete, to Xirotect it from the damaging eff'ects of the wash of the sea. This concrete work has fully answered the purpose for which it was designed, and is IIOAV in excellent condition. The keeper's dwelling is an old frame house, in too dilaxiidated a state to justify its being repaired. The September gales of 1869 did some damage to this dwelling, and the Avalk leading to the wharf was destroyed. An estimate is submitted of $7,500 for the erection on piles, aboA^e the highest Avaves of the sea, of a suitable dwelling for the keeper at this place. 333. Bayou St. John, iron screw-pile light-hous.e, Loimiana.—A new illuminating apparatus was put up, and the light exhibited from it on. January. 1, 1870. 336. Pass Manchac, Louisiana.—A breakwater in its simplest form, that of a row of sheet piling, is necessary to protect this station from the erosion caused by waves, the estimated cost of which is $1,700, and included in the annual estimates. 337. Chandeleur, Louisiana.—It is designed to strengthen the screw jiiles supxiorting the keeper's dwelling at this station- by connecting them by diagonal braces, at an estimated cost of $1,000. A IICAV cistern is needed, which should be xilaced on a brick foundation", rising 5 feet above the ground, as the water rises several feet above the surface in heaA^y gales from the southeast. Erol Island, Louisiana.—The proximity of this outlying island to the dangerous shoals off' Grande Gosier, to the northAvard of Pass a Loutre light-house, distant 23 miles, and midway betAveeit the Passia Loutre and Chandeleur lights, marks it as the proper location for a light to fill U I the dark sxiace in the axixiroaches to the northern mouth of the MisX sissippi Eiver. The only structure offering a reasonable prospect of stability in a locality so exposed to wind and sea is an iron screwx:>ile tower, for the erection of which an estimate of $30,000 has been submitted in the annual estimate for the next fiscal year. 338. Pass a Loutre, northern mouth of the Mississippi, Louisiana.—A steam fog-signal is required for this light station. Its importance and usefulness caii hardly be calculated in pointing out this entrance during. the dense and frequently long-continued fogs which envelop the Delta of the Mississippi during the winter months. The day or unlighted beacoii authorized to be erected in place of the present dilapidated wooden one is in readiness, and will be put up as soon as it can be done without incurring the extra expense which a party sxiecially sent so far would necessarily cause. This may be done Avhile the works at the head of the xiasses are in xKOgress, unless in the mean time the wooden beacon should' be destroyed, in Avhich event the iron one Avill be sent and put U 3 at once. . X ^ 339. South Pass, mouth of the Mississippi, Louisiana.—The light-house at this, the most seaAvard xioint of the delta of the Mississipxii, and therefore of the importance of a first-class sea-coast light, was built in 1831, and is only a low Avooden tOAver on the top of the keeper's dwelling. The graA^e objections to a wooden structure at so distant a point from succor in case of fire, and one occuxiying so imxiortant a x')osition, (being only of the third class,) have been mentioned in the several annual reports from 374 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. this board since 1867. The remarks x)reAdously made have acquired additional force from the fact that the natural decay of so perishable a inaterial, and the age of the structure, render anew tower at no distant day indisxiensable, even in an economical point of A c V alone. An estidA mate of $75,000 for commencing the Avork is submitted. 340. Head of the passes, Mississippi River, Louisiana.—The work authorized, consisting of the construction of a wharf, x^rotecting levee, and for a light-house aud buo3^ d^epot, Avill be commenced as soon as the xirevailing epidemic Avill alloAv it to be done. It is exxiected that Avork may be resumed in that vicinity by the 1st of October. The breakwater built in 1868 has had a A^ery beneficial eff'ect upon this station. The land Avithin the inclosure has been raised from 18 to 24 inches by the deposition of sediment. Where large roAv-boats could navigate without difficulty there is now solid dry ground. The danger apprehended from the threatened undermining ofthe foundatiou ofthe light house by washings of the current of the river seems no longer to exist, and it may be considered as x^erman entiy arrested. 341. Southioest Pass, mouth of the Mississippi, Louisiana.—The xireliminary A ork of survey, exxierimental borings, and xilank walk over the V marsh, x^reparatory to the authorized rebuilding ofthe light-house at this point, Avere commenced in July 1869, and comxileted in the folloAving summer and fall months. During the last winter a strong wharf Avas built on "Nine-foot Bayou," AAdth a railroad on pW.e^ connecting it with the coffer dam inclosing the space selected fbr the site of the new lighthouse. The work uxion the x^ile foundation has made fair x')rogress np to July 30 last, when ox)erations had to be temx^orarily suspendeil on account of sickness among the Avorkmen. Work Avill be resumed in a very short time, as the x^revailing exiidemic on that coast is disapxiearing. Am efficient steam fog-signal is necessary for this light station, for which an estimate has been submitted. Stalce Island, Southioest Pass, Louisiana^—A wooden beacon Avas erected during the last Avinter on Stake Island, AA^hich lies close to the bar, and has been found very useful in the navigation of the pass during foggy weather. A beacon of iron, and of greater height than the x>^^Gsent Avooden one, Avill be put up during the operations at the Southwest Pass light station. , Timhallier Bay, coast of Louisiana.—The light-house at this xioint on the sea-coast of Louisiana was destroyed by a tornado, and Congress at its next session made an axiproxiriation for rebuilding it, Avhich however reverted to the treasury under the operations of the fifth and sixth sections of the act of July 12, 1870. This light is considered of so much importance to the commerce of the Gulf, and especially to that from and to Mobile, NCAV Orleans, and the ports of Texas and Mexico,; that application Avas made for the temxiorary emxiloyment of a small light-A^essel until the new toAver could be built, which had to be declined on account of the absence of authority to comx')ly with the request. Although this light station is at the mouth of Timballier Bay, its importance to navigation consists in the fact that it is a sea-coast lightj marking an important daisk space on that low coast off' which there axe dangerous shoals. A reapprox^riation of the money Avhich reverted to the treasuiy has been asked and included in the annual estimates. 343. Ship Shoal, iron screw-pile light-house, Louisiana.—The filling up with concrete around the iron xiiles of this structure, which is in 15 feet Avater, has been attended Avith the happiest results. The Avater, vvhich Avas increasing in depth, is how gradually shoaling all around the structure, and there is every prospect that it will continue to diminish in LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 375 depth. The light was for a tirae greatly impaired in power and usefulness by the criminal neglect of a late keeper, A ^ o suffered themechanical Ah lamp machineiy to run down, and this melted the burners! The lamps and burners AA^ere promptly repaired by the lamxiist of the district soon after this neglect was' discovered. This second-order lens axixiaratus Avith its appendages is one of the finest on the coast, and the light has been one of the best to be found anywhere. Shell Keys, or Trinity Shoal, Louisiana.—The ax:)prox)riation for rebuilding the lighthouse at this place, Avhich was destroyed in a tornado, reverted to the treasury under the operation of the fifth and sixth sections of the act of July 12,1870. A dangerous shoal, lying Avell out from the low coast of that region, and more in the track of passing A^essels than the old site.of the Shell Keys light-house, having been recently discovered, it is deemed adAdsable to recommend that a reappropriation be made for erecting the light-house on that shoal known to navigators as "Trinity Shoal." This shoal is soutliAvard of the Shell Keys shoal, and lies nearly in a straight line drawn from the entrance to Galveston Bay to the Ship Shoal light-house, Avithout anything to mark it except a first-class bupy, which has recently been placed near it* The land from this shoal can seldom be seen on account of its little elevation.aboA^e the level of the sea, and is therefore a very dangerous obstruction to navigation. Since the close of the rebellion several lines of steamers are in active operation between New Orleans and Texas ports, in addition to a large number of sailing A^essels, AA^hich necessarily pass near this danger day and night. •Calcasieu, Louisiana.—-Petitions haA^efrom time to time been received for a light to mark the entrance to this place, and in 1860 an appropriation Avas made, which, howcA^er, reverted to the treasury. This place, in addition to its significance as the key to the vast lumber region diAdded by the Calcasieu EiA'cr, has Avithin the last two years become of still further dmportance from the fact of the discovery of sulphur and coal oil in its Adcinity, and not A^ery remote from the salt mines which AA^ere somewhat develox3ed and used by the insurgents during the rebellion. Although the site for this light Avill he on fast land, yet the great a.nd sudden rise of the tide during equinoctial and other heaA^ storms on this x)art of the Gulf coast, Avliich in many instances have been known to destroy nearly CA^ery building within many miles, and caused great loss of life, it is considered that nothing but a scrcAV-pile structure,can insure a proper degree of safety to life and property. An estimate has been submitted in the annual estimates for the next fiscal year for the structure. 347. Bolivar Point entrance to Galveston Bay, Texas.—At the commencement of the rebellion there Avas a third class cast-iron light-house at this important point, leading tothe best harbor on the coast of Texas. During hostilities the tOAverwas taken down, the material removed, and Xiossibly used for wax x^m'poses. Immediately after the close of the rebellion a temporary light was established near the site of the old one, which is at present kept up, and during last year a light-A'^essel Avas placed inside the bar to render its passage at night comX3arativeiy safe. At the last session of Congress an appropriation of $40,000 (July 15, 1870) Avas made for rebuilding the light-house at this xioint, which Avill be sufficient for one of the third class. Instru/ctions have been given to proceed Avith the execution of this work, but, owing to the rigid quarantine Avhich exists betAveen New Orleans and Galveston during the existence of the prcA^aiiing epidemic, nothing can be done toward commencing work until after frost. .. 376 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. 351. Matagorda, Texas.—This light-house tOAver was built of cast-iron a.nd thrown doAvn during the rebellion. At the close of the war a temxiorary light was exhibited from a site near the old one, and negotiations entered ux)on for. the purchase of a new site, the old one haAdng become untenable bythe action of the sea and Avinds. After considerable delay, AT^alid title and cession of the State jurisdiction have been obtained. The work, for which an estimate is submitted in the annual estimate for the next fiscal year, can be commenced immediately upon funds becoming aA^ailable. The difficulty of reconstructing this tower is found to be much greater than was at first anticixDated. Having sent a xiarty of men, to remoA^e the cast-iron sections from the site of the old foundation which has been washed aAvay, it was found that, several sections Avere broken, and Avould have to be renewed. The transportation of the material for building the foundation Avill haA^e to be made with ox teams for a distance of three miles from the landing to the site. An estimate of $20,000 has been submitted for rebuilding this important light-house tower, in addition to such materials of the old structure as may be fit for use, rendered necessary in consequence of the rcA'erting to the treasury of the funds for " restoring lights on the southern coast." Becro's Point entrance to Matagorda Bay, Texas.—An ax^x^ioxiriation of $15,000 Avas made July 15, 1870, for two range lights to mark the channel at this place. The necessary xireliminary steps for selecting the sites, procuring the land, A^alid title, and. cession of State jurisdiction haye been ta-ken, and the Avork, will be commenced as soon as xiossible. ' 353. .Swash, Matagorda Bay, Texas.—This is one of the light-houses which was destroyed during the rebellion, and for which an axipropriation Avas made for rebuilding it, but before the work could be done the Xiassing of the act of July 12, 1870, carried the money back to the treasury. An estimate of $15,000 has been submitted for its reconJstruction ux)on the old site. At each of the following-named light-stations there haA^e been rex3airs and renovations more or less extensive during the past year, Adz: 314. Pensacola, Florida. 315. Sand Island, off Mobile Bay, Alabama. 356. Point, Isahel, mouth of the Eio Grande, Texas. The folloAving-named light stations require repairs to be made, during the ensuing year: ^ 314.

I t is xiroposed to restore the range beacon formerly existing, in connection Aviththe Bolivar Point main light, Avhen the UCAV tower is comx3leted, and dispense with the now expensive light-vessel. DEPOTS FOR BUOYS. The principal depot in this district for the safe-keex^ing and protecting of spare buoys and for coal for the tender is at the Head of the Passes light station, Mississippi Eiver. There is also a depot at Fort Pickens' wharf, Pensacola Bay, and at Fort Morgan, Mobile Bay, for the storage of spare buoys, and at the former for the storage of coal. TENDERS. The small steamer Geranium is the only tender in this district. TENTH DISTRICT. This district extends from the mouth of St. Regis Eiver, New York, to include Grassy Island light-house, Detroit EiA^er, Michigan. Inspector.—Commodore Gustavus H. Scott, United States NaA^. Engineer.—Brevet Lieutenant Colonel George L. Gillespie, captain of engineers. United States Army. In this district there are— Light-houses and lighted beacons Day or unlighted beacons Buoys actually in position Spare buoys for relief and to supply losses Tender (steam) Haze, common to tenth and eleventh districts 52 0 72 98 1 The numbers x^i^^ceding the names of stations correspond with those of the "Light-house List of the Northern and Northwestern Lakes of the United States," issued January 1, 1870. 396. Ogdenshurg, New York, St. Lawrence River.—Bj act of Congress approved July 15, 1870, an appropriation of $13,000 was made for the renovation and repair of this station, and on August 23, 1870, under this act, Avork was commenced. The design is the same as that for Stony Point, except that the tower is 6, feet 8 inches higher, (height 39 feet 8 inches.) The material used in the construction is dark gray limestone, obtai&ed from the Kingston quarries, and the same that has been used on Sister Island. The renovations are well undex Avay; the latest report received places the top course of the stone built in at 7^ feet above the Avater-table. I t is exxiected that the whole house will be covered in 378 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. and the lantern adjusted at the close of the season. It was not found necessary, as was expected froin the IOAV site, to use piles in the foundation. The order of the light will not be changed. Sisters Islands, New Yorlc, St. Lawrence River.—A new light-house has been built on the lower island according to the original intention of the Light-house Board, altered only in respect to material, stone being substituted for brick because of the exposed site and of the difficulty of obtaining the best quality of brick at a xirice to Avhich the approxiriation was adequate. The light was exhibited on 15th September, 1870. I t is a fixed Avhite light of the sixth order, illuminating an arc of 360^. ' 402, Horse Island, New York, .Sackett's Harhor, Lake Ontario.—An axipropriation of $12,000 Avas made at the last session of Congress (July 15, 1870) for rebuilding the tOAver and keeper's dwelling at this place. The work was commenced in August, and has been pushed rapidly ahead, the construction having already adA'-anced a fcAv feet above the water-table. The material used is brick, and the design the same as that of Ogdensburg; the order of the light Avill not be changed. The site has been changed to a point about 300 yards to the south and east of the old toAver. The old dAvelling and tower Avere too close to the shore, and the lake was beginning to make encroachments upon it, which might have endangered in a short time a new dwelling near the old site. It is expected to complete the dwelling during the season, excepting the interior finish and outside painting. 403. StoHy Point, Neio Yorlc, Lalce Ontario.—A UCAV dAvelling for the lieexier, Avith attached tower, was built at this station during the last season, for operations in this region. During the x^i^sent s,eason the outside pointing, and some of the xilastering AA^hich could not be done last year, were finished. 405. Big Sodus range-heacons. New Yorlc, Lalce Ontario.—A new permanent beacon Avill be built on the x^ier of entrance, and both beacons Avill be fitted Avith improved lens apparatus this season. 406. Big Sodus Bay, New Yorlc, Lake Ontario.—An axiproxiriation was made at the last session of Congress (July 15, 1870) for rebuilding the tower and keeper's dAA^elling at this light station. Work was commenced in August, which has been xiushed rapidly. The construction has already adA^anced to a height of 4 feet above the Avater-table. The material used is limestone, from the Kingston quarries.. The dwelling Avill be two stories, Avitli the light-house tower attached; the height, from the base to the focal xilane, Avill be 45 feet. It is built uxion the same general plan as the one at Stony Point, New York. Oak Orchard, New Yorlc, Lake Ontario.—An. apxiroxmation was made at the last session of Congress for a light-house " at or near Oak Orchard Creek, Lake Ontario, New York," x^rimaxily designed for a lake coast light, to guide naAdgators on that part of the unlighted coast betAveen the Genesee and Fort Niagara liglits, and secondarily, if it be found to be practicable, to mark the axiproaches to Oak Orchard Creek. The necessary x^reliminaries are in progress for purchasing the site, perfecting the title, &C.5 x^reparatory to commencing the erection of the buildings. . . ' 408. Fort Niagara, New Yorlc, entrance to Niagara River.—This light is exhibited from a IOAV frame, to wer, x^ojecting above the roof of the mess-house, which is at' x^i'^sent occuxiied as quarters by the officers of the garrison, through which the keeper has to x^ass to attend upon the light at night, as well as to clean and put it in order during the day. The position is not a xiroper one for a light, and as the tower is in a most dilapidated condition, Avithout oil-room or other necessary means for LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 379 keeping the oil and other supxilies, it is recommended that an apxiropriation, for Avhich an estimate has been submitted, be made for the construction of a xiroxier tower on a suitable site, to seiwe the double x^r^rpose of a lake-coast and a local light at the same time. 409. Black Rock heacon. New Yorlc, head of Niagara River, Lake Erie.—• This beacon-light haAdng been established to seiwe a temporary purpose, until the completion and exhibition of the light on Horseshoe Eeef, and being of no use, will be extinguished at the close of navigation this season, and Avill not be relighted next sxiring. 411. Buffalo, New York, Lalce Erie.—The pier on the creek side of the light-house lot is A^ery old and should be entirely removed. It was originally made with an open bottom, the foundation to a certain height being filled in Avith brush, upon Avhich rested the stone filling. There is a strong underground pressure from the land side by which the brush has been gradually forced out of xilace and into the creek; the stone sinking, in consequence, liaA^e likcAVise been forced from under the pier in some parts. The sand Avashed into the creek, from behind the pier has formed a shoal along the entire front, with scarcely 18 inches of water in some places, Avhich renders the pier unserviceable for the suxixily vessel. Taking out the old x^ier, dredging to a depth of 4 feet and sinking a new pier on the same line, Avith grillage bottom, are recommended; the front to be x^rotected at a distance of 2 feet by a roAV of xiiles 4 feet from center and driA^en 6 or 8 feet, Avith a "sill and binder" capxoing. The Xiresent pier is 264 feet long by 12 feet wide. It is thought it may be necessary to driA^e sheet xiiling behind the x^ier to prevent the undertow of sand that fills the channel. The estimate.cost of the Avork is $10,000. Buffalo hreakivater heacons. New York, Lalce Erie.—An approxiriation was made July 15, 1870, for a beacon-light on each end of the breakAvater in this harbor. The one authorized to be x:)laced on the north end may be commenced at this time, but the other must aAvait the comxiletion of that end of the breakwater; it Avill therefore be necessary to continiie the balance of the approxiriation Avhich may remain June 30,1871, for the next fiscal yeax. 414. Presque Isle, Erie, Pennsylvania, Lalce Erie.—The keexier's dAvelling at this light station was not rebuilt at the time a new tower was erected in 1867; the walls of this house are perfectly good, but floors, Ydndow casings, plastering, &c., &c., require rencAving. 415. Presque Isle heacon, Erie Harhor, Pennsylvania, Lalce Erie.—A breakwater has been built along the shore on the east side, to x^i'otect the keeper's dwelling. It is sunk in 3 feet Avater, is 245 feet long by 16 wide, and 6 feet high on the lake side, and 4J feet on the land side. It is filled Avith heavy blocks of stone, coA^ers the entire front of the dwelling, and aff'ords,amjile protection to it. A boat shed has been x3roAdded for the keex3er. A buo}^ shed, for the storage and protection of spare buoys, is in x^i'ocess of completion, on the north side of the pier of entrance to the harbor, and between the beacon and range-beacon No. 1. 416,417. Presque Isle Bay range-lights, Erie, Pemisylvania, Lalce Erie.— These tAvo small lights placed on the spit making out to the southward and eastAvard from Presque Isle, and designed to serve as a guide to vessels after passing betAveen the piers into the bay, Avill be renovated, and a more powerful illuminatingapparatus fitted duiing the xiresent season of operations. 418. Conneaut, Ohio, mouth of Conneaut River, Lake Erie.—This light station is Avithout a keeper's dwelling, and as one is essential to the Xiroper attendance ux)on the light, an estimate of $4,000 has been sub 380 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. mitted for the purchase of a site and the erection of a convenient frame dAvelling. 419. Ashtahula, Ohio, Lalce Erie.—There is no dwelling for the lightkeexoer at this light station, and an estimate has been submitted for an appropriation to erect one similar to the one proposed for Conneaut. 420; Grand River, Fairport, Ohio, Lake Erie.—AIT axixiropriation was made Maxell 3, 1869, for rebuilding the tower and keeper's dwelling at this light station. Near the close of the season of operations of 1869, a temporary tOAver from which to exhibit a light Avas erected, and the light exhibited December 10,1869. The old tower was taken doAvn and an examination, by borings, showed the necessity for a x^ile foundation for the new one. This work was commenced early in the spring of 1870. The xiiles were driA^en flush with the bottom of an excaA^ation 11 feet 4 inches deep, and their heads inclosed in one foot of concrete. Upon the heads of the xiiles a grillage of two courses of 12-ihch timber was laid, from Avhich the foundation of limestone rises to the surface of the ground, Avhere the toAver xiroxier, built of Berea sandstone, commences. At the time the work was suspended by the operation of the act of 12th July, 1870, carrying the balance of the axiproxiriation then available to the treasury, twenty-nine courses of the tower xiroper had been set, and thirty-two iron steps built into the brick linings. Upon the suspension of the Avork, the tower Avas protected by xilacing a board roof covering OA'cr it, and all materials and tools belonging to it safely stored to. await a reapxirox^riation, Avliich hasbeen submitted in the annual estimates. The dAvelling for the keeper at this station is in a very dilapidated condition, so much so as to make the construction of a new one absolutely necessaiy. 422. Cleveland, Ohio, Lalce Erie.—An appropriation was made March 3, 1869, of $45,000, for rebuilding the light-house tower and keeper's dwelling at this xilace. A temporary structure Avas erected and the light exhibited from it August 9,1870, preparatory to the removal of the old and the commencement of the construction of the new toAver. Directions v^ere giA^en August 16 to suspend further oxierations, in consequence of the available funds, which had been axiproxiriated little O ^ e a year, having A ^r rcAT^erted to the treasury, under the operation of the fifth and sixth sections of the act of July 12, 1870, at which time the old lantern and a Xiart of the masonry of the tower had been taken down. The engineer of the district, under authority from the board, had previously entered into a contract for the delivery of stone for a Avail of inclosure on the east and north sides of the light-house site, and for all the necessary excavation. The delivery of the stone had not commenced, and the execution of the contract Avas susxiended. By susxiending the Avork, the station has been left in A^ery bad condition. The Avidening of the street in front of the old toAver by the city authorities, Avith the sanction ofthe Governnient, Avas at the same time suspended, although it had already made considerable progress. The old tower has been covered over and all tools and materials remaining on. hand safely stored to await a reaxipropriation to recommence the work. 424. Black River, Ohio, Lalce Erie.—This light station is without a keeper's dAvelling. An estimate of $4,000 is submitted for the erection of a dAvelling and for making the necessary repairs upon the light-house and the jiier of xirotection to the light. 425. Vermillion, Ohio, Lalce Erie.^^Thi^ light station has not been provided with a dAvelling for the light keeper. An apxiropriation is asked, of $4,000, for the purchase of a site, to erect a suitable frame dwelling and for repairs of the pier of protection to the light. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 381 426. Huron, Ohio, Lalce Erie.—An appropriation of $4,000 has been asked in the annual estimates for the x^uiTose of erecting a suitable dAvelling for the keeper of this light station. 427. Cedar Point Beacon, Ohio, entrance to Sandusky Bay.—A buoy shed has been constructed at this light station for the protection and storage of spare buoys and their fixtures. 434. Maumee Outer Range, Ohio, Maumee River.—These two lights are xilaced in small frame towers, without conveniences for the keeper or suxixilies. The axiproxiriation Avhich Avas made at the time they were authorized t o b e built was inadequate and no dAvelling for the keexier could be built. An estimate of $3,000 has been submitted for that x^urX30se. At each of the folioAving-named light stations there haA^e been repairs and renovations.more or less during the last year, viz.: 399. Rocle Island, NCAV York, St. Lawrence EiA^er. 404. Oswego, New York, Lake Ontario. 407. Genesee, New York, Lake Ontario. 409. Black Rock Beacon, New York, head of Niagara Eiver, Lake Erie. 410.

Maumee Middle Range, Maumee EiA^er, Ohio. 436. Maumee Inner Range, Maumee EiA^er, Ohio. The folloAving-named light stations require repairs to be made during the ensuing year, viz.: 398. Sunken Rocle, New York, St. LaAvrence EiA^er. 401. Galloo Island, New Y^ork, Lake Ontario. 407. Genesee Beacon, NCAV York, Lake Ontario. 410. Horseshoe Reef, Buffalo Harbor, New York, Lake Erie. 426. Huron, Ohio, Lake Erie. 429. Sandusky, Sandusky Bay, Ohio, Lake Erie. The following are the names of the light stations in this district not mentioned elsewhere: 397. Cross-over Island, New York, St. Lawrence EiA^er. 400. Tihhitt's Point, New York, head of St. Lawrence Eiver, Lake Ontario. 412. Dunkirk, NCAV York, Lake Erie. 413.

There are neither light-A^essels nor tenders in this district. The buoys were kexit by contract, although far from.satisfactoril}^ or economically; 382 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. but in the absence of a tender, Avliich cannot be purchased for want of funds, this is the onlj^ course that can be taken. The tender Haze delivers all the supplies once a yeax, at which time the insxiector goes around with the lampist and inspect^s all the lights and other aids to navigation. The strong current in the Niagara and St. Lawrence Eivers prevents the use of any ^ther than a steam tender in looking properly after the buoys. , • DEPOTS. Buffalo, New. York.—The x^rincipal depot for the storage of supxilies, buoys, &c., is at Buffalo, NCAV York. Cedar Point.—A buoy shed and depot has been erected at Cedar Point, on the light-house lot. Erie, Pennsylvania.—A buoy shed and depot will be provided at this place this season. Toledo^ Ohio.—There is a buoy depot and shed at this place. , Maumee River.—A buoy depot is necessaxy for this vicinity and will be x)rovided as soon as a proper place on Government premises can be found for establishing it. • ELEYENTH DISTRICT. The eleventh district embraces all aids to naAdgation aboA^e Grassy Island light-house, Detroit Eiver. Inspector.—Commodore James P. McKinstry, United States Navy, to October 1, 1870; Captain Alexander Murray, United States Navy, present insxiector. Engineer.—Brevet Brigadier General William F. Eaynolds, lieutenant eolonel of engineers United States Army, (Lakes Huron and Superior and Waugoshance Eeef in Lake Michigan,) to April 14, 1870; Brevet Colonel J. B. Wheeler, major of engineers Unitecl States Army) (Lake Michigan, excexiting Waugoshance Eeef,) to March 24,1,870; Brevet Brigadier General O. M.

The building a t t h e north end of the channel had then reached the height of the first floor. The building at the south end had reached nearly the sarae height! The UCAV channel is expected to be completed before the close of navigation, and it is to be regretted that the lights cannot be shown at the same time the channel opens for navigation. The unexXiended balance of $33,000, which under the laAv reA^^erted to the treasury, would haA^e been auixile to haA^e comxileted both light-houses. It is recommended that the above amount be reaxix^roxKiated. 444. Fort Gratiot, Michigan, Lalce Huron.—This is one of the points LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 383 named in the axiproxiriation for UCAV and efficient fog signals, approved March 2, 1867. The balance of this axipropriation having reverted to the treasury under the law^ of July 12, 1870, it is respectfully recommended that a reapxiropriation be made for this x^urxiose. The navigable channel at this place (Port Huron on the American side, and Sarnia on the Canadian) is quite narrow, needing during fogs something to guide xiassing vessels. The terminus of the Grand Trunk (Canadian) Eailroad is at Sarnia, which connects with the road on the Port Huron side by ferry-boat. Lalce coast light hetween Fort Gratiot and Pointe aux Barqiies, Michigan, Lake Huron.—A lake coast light to be xilaced between the present lights at Fort Gratiot and Pointe aux Barques Avas asked for last year, and again recommended by the light-house officers of the eleventh district. The distance on the Lake .Huron shore between these tAvo lights is 75 miles, and vessels navigating the lake keep the shore close aboard, rendering a mark at night very desirable. In consideration of many other pressing Avants of this kind, no estimate has been submitted this year. Range lights to guide into Tawas Harhor, Michigan, Lake Huron.—-An axiX)rox3riation of $8,000 has been asked for establishin|»' two small lights to serve as a range for entering this excellent harbor of refuge, but it has been deemed advisable to defer including the amount in the ax)X5ropriations at xiresent. The point on Avhich the xiresent main light, marking the apx^roach, is only a short distance from the harbor, and it is believed will answer the xiresent wants of naAdgation. The xilace, however, is groAvin g in importance, and range-lights will be necessary at no distant day to render the haxbor easy bf access, especially at night and in bad weather. Range lights at the mouth of Saginaio River, Michigan, Lalce Huron.—An apxiroxiriation of $12,000, approved July 15, 1870, is available for this object. The county surveyor of Bay County, in Avhich the proposed new station lies, has been requested to make a survey of the site required. When receiA^ed, the Governor of Michigan will be ax3]ilied to for the.condemnation of the necessarydand, it axipearing from correspondence held with the county authorities that* the title to the land required is rather intricate, and could not be cleared up Avithout much time and labor. The construction Avill commence as soon as a A^alid title shall haA^e been obtained and axiproved by the Attorney General of the United States, in conformity to laAv. 449. Sturgeon Point, Michigan, Lalce Huron.—This light-house, in course of construction at the date of the last annual report, was comx:)leted early in November of last year, but the new keeper not arriving in time, it Avas deeraed best to x^ostpone the ^exhibition of the light until the opening of navigation this spring, AA^hich was done, due "notice to mariners" haAdng been giA^en x^reAdoiisly. 450. Thunder Bay Island, Lalce Huron.—A steam fog signal is greatly needed to mark, during fogs, this dangerous xioint, in X3lace of a bell now there, which is not efficient for a position of its danger and importance. Presque Isle ranges, Michigan, Lake Huron.—Two small lights have been established at this harbor of refuge to serve as a range guide to a safe anchorage. The AVork was finished early in the month of August, and the lights will be exhibited as soon as a keex')er takes charge of them. New light . at Presque Isle, Michigan, Lake Huron.—Apxiroxiriations having been made for a lake coast light at this place, (t/he last oi\e July 15,1870,) to take the place of the old tOAver on the point at the entxance to the harbor, the work on the new towex is in progress on the north Xioint of the peninsula, and adjoining Presque Isle Harbor. The new 384 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. buildings will consist of a brick tower, haAdng a focal plane of 100 feet above the ground, and connected Avitli a keeper's dAvelling, constructed of brick, by a covered xiassage Avay. The illuminating axiparatus Aviil be a third-order lens for a fixed light. The steam tender Warrington has delivered all the niaterial for these buildings. Owing to the very short season for operations on the lakes and the necessity for great care in X^utting materials together at such exposed X->oints as those occuxoied by light-houses, it is probable that the Avork cannot be entirely completed this season. A fog signal is A^^ery much needed at this x>lace, to serve Xiassing vessels and those seeking the harbor in bad weather. An estimate has been submitted for one. 453 Shehoygan, Michigan, Straits of Madeinac.—This is one of the most important stations on the lakes, making, as it does, the turning point between Lake Huron and the south channel of the straits, the one almost exclusively used by sailing vessels and steamers x^^yi'^g between Lake Michigap and the loAver lakes. The present light being a fifth-order, (fixed, A^axied bA' flashes,) shown at an elevation of only 37 feet, should be rex:)laced by one of the third-order, Avitli an elevation of ait least 80 feet above lake level. To accom]ilish this would require an approx:)riation of $33,006, but it has not been included in this year's estimates. Spectacle Reef, Lake Huron.—Preparations for.this work were commenced early this spring. A steam barge Avas p^ii'chased and fitted up last Avinter for this Avork. A depot has been established at Scamraon's Harbor, 17^ miles north of the reef—an excellent harbor, Avhich is safe in all Avinds. The necessary timber for the pier of xirotection Avas contracted for last Avinter and transported early in the spring to the harbor, Avhexe temxioraiy quarters, a storehouse, and a Avharf have been erected. Here the timber for the pier of xirotection is being framed. The necessary ballast stone is found here in large quantities, and is being collected and deposited ^oii temporary Avharves, built in 5 feet of Avater, from which it will be transxiorted to the reef as required. From this harbor the crib, Avitli the necessary ballast stone, Avill be towed to the reef during next season. It is proposed to transport the necessary stone for the toAver to this x^hice, Avhere it is to be cut and fitted uxion temporary foundations prepared fbr this purpose. The total estimated cost for this light-house is $316,093 20. Two approxniations of $100,000 each are already available, which amount, itis x^resumed, Avill be exxiended during this and the next working season of 1871. It is therefore recommended that an additional apxiropriation be made to continue the light-house works at Spectacle Eeef of $116,000. In order to conform the bottom of the crib to the reef, a cal-eful survey of the site selected last year Avas again made, Avhicli rev^ealed the faet that the hull of the schooner Nightingale, Avrecked on this reef last fall, covers, Avith her cargo of iron ore, a good xiortion of the bed of rock upon which the tower is to stand. As there is no other ph^ee on the reef where bare bed-rock is to be found, except in 18 feet of Avater, the xilace selected having only 11 feet of water on it, it will be necessaiy, and most economical, to reraoA^e at least that portion of the Avreck covering the area required for the coffer dam. This Avork is now in progress. Straits of Mackinac, Michigan.—Attention, is respectfull^MUAdted to the folloAving remarks in the annual report for 1869 concerning the necessity for a ligiit to mark the passage between Eound Island, and the Island Macki nac, knoAvn as the north channel: STRAITS o r MACKINAC.—The necessity for a light to mark the passage between tho Island of Mackinac and Round Island, known as the north channel, is again presented LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 385 for consideration, and attention is respectfully inyited to the remarks upon this headin the annual report of 1867. • The estimated cost of a light at this place is $12,000, for which an ajjpropriation is now asked. The axixiropriation therein named is again recommended, amounting to $12,000 454. McGulpin's Point, Michigan, Straits of Mackinac.—This is one of the light stations for which axiproxiriations haA^e been made for efficient fog signals and which rcA^erted to the treasury under the act of July 12, 1870. An estimate for a reappropriation has been submitted. 455. Detour, Michigan, Lalce Huron.-—In Adew of the importance of this station a third-order lens will be substituted for the xiresent one of the fourth order, the light-house haAdng been originally designed for a third-order light, and the lantern being of ample caxiacity to. receive a lens of that order. The old dwelling and remnants of the old tower remain standing at this station, and Avill be remoA^ed. This is also one of the points named in the axix>roxiriation for new and efficient fog signals, and for the same reasons as stated iinder McGulxiin's Point, an appropriation is recom: mended. St. Helena Island, Lake Michigan.—The establishment of a suitable light to mark the anchorage, as a harbor of refuge, at this island in Lake Michigan, and not fax from the Straits of Mackinac, hasbeen again urged by those interested in the navigation of the lakes. An estimate has been submitted. 456. Waugoshance, Lalce Michigan.—Work Avas resumed at this station on the 20th of May last. The hope that the stone work of the pier of protection would be completed by October 15, 1869, was not realized, owing to the stormy weather, Avliich prevented the landing of stone upon the pier until October 15. SCA'-CU stones of the top course Avere in position on the 20th of the same month, when ice began to make, and it was deemed necessary to suspend the work of setting stone. The whole force was at once employed filling in, with rubbled masonry, the space between the tower and the face wall. This was accomxilished, after much interruption by rough Aveather, and on the 29th of October the working party was removed from the pier and discharged. As soon as the stone Avork Avas comxileted the erection ofthe keeper's dAvelling was commenced, Avhich is now so far advanced that there is reasonable hope that the Avhole station may be comxileted before the close of naAdgation. This is also one of the points named in the axix^roxiriation for new and efficient fog signals, the balance of Avhich reverted to the treasury. I t is recommended that for the establishjrnent of a proper fog signal at this station an. apx^iopriation be made this year, and for Avhich an estimate has been submitted in the annual estimates. 457. Skillagalee, (Isle aux Galets,) Michigan, Lake Michigan.—The keeper of this light station has stated that the island has been abraded,' since the 1st of June last, on the northAvest side 20 feet, and about 12 feet on the southeast side. It is x^iesumed that this apparent abrasion is due to the rise of the lake, which is 15 inches.higher than last year. A fog. signal is very much needed here, and for this purpose an appropriation is recommended, and an estimate submitted in the annual estimates. 458. Beaver Island Harhor, Lalce Michigan.—The light-house toAver at this x')lace has been rebuilt and provided Avith an iron stairway and UCAV lantern. A. fourth-order illuminating apparatus Avill take the place of the xiresent sixth-order lens, to increase the power and range of the light, to make it Adsible from Hog Island Eeef, distant 8 miles, and lying 25 F 386 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. nearly in the track of A^essels bound to this harbor from the. Straits of Mackinac. 461. Grand Traverse, Michigan, Lake Michigan.—A.n illuminating apparatus ofthe fourth order has been substituted for the fifth order, heretofore at this light station, a very necessary and decided improA^ement. Mission Point, Michigan, Grand Traverse Bay., Lalce Michigan.—Thisnewly established light station has been completed this season, and the light exhibited on the 10th ultimo, (September 1870.) The timber on a part of the light house grounds obstructs the light through a small arc and will be removed. 462. South Manitou, Lake Michigan.—An appropriation of $10,000 was made at the last session of Congress (Jnly 15, 1870) for imxn^oving the light at this place. There AA^as, at the time this estimate Avas submitted^ an available balance of the appropriation of March 3, 1869, for repairs and renovations at Point Betsey and South Manitou light stations. With these amounts it Avas. xiroposed to erect a brick tower 6b feet high, to be connected Avith the x'>i'esent dwelling by a covered passage way, and to substitute for the iiresent fourth-order lens one of the order of 3^. For this project plans and estimates were prepared, but the balance reverted to thot treasury, under the law of July 12, 1870, and the project was, therefore, necessarily abandoned for the present. The importance of this station demands even a better light than originally proposed, and but for the liraited amount appropriated there Avould have been recommended the erection of a tower of greater height, Avith a lens of the third ord^r. Such a structure is now recoinmended, and, for its erection, an appropriation, in addition to the amount of $10,000, already available, of $20,000. This amount Avill be ample to repair, also, the fog signal (a bell) at this station, the wood-work of Avhich is in a very dilapidated condition. Through the channel betAveen South Manitou Island and the main land the x^rincixial commerce of the lakes passes, guided by this light, Avhich should have a lens of a higher order, with greatf^relcA^ation, and a characteristic distinction not readily mistaken. It is also a guide to a harbor of refuge Avhich is probably more used than any other on the entire chain of lakes, and it is frequently impossible to distinguish the present light from those on board of' vessels at anchor. If desirable, Point Betsey, U A a fixed light, varied by flashes,: might be changed OV to an alternating red and white flash simply by the introduction of a plate of red glass. 464. Manistee, Michigan, Lake Michigan.—This station Avas lighted on the opening of navigation of the present yeax, although the fcuilding was not entirely completed. On discovering that the rear addition of the building did not stand upon light-house ground, the work was temporarily suspended, and an additional piece of land, at the cost of $30, Avas purchased. This being accomxilished, and the title approved by the Attorney General of the Uuited States, the Avork was resumed aud completed in July of this year. Petite Pointe au ^al)le, Michigan, Lake Michigan.—A lake-coast light seenis to be demanded by the largely increasing commerce of that region, and at that salient point on the coast, to fill an important blank in the existing coast line. Such a light is estimated to cost $35,000, but it has not been included in this year's estiniates. i^ P^re Marquette, Michigan, Lake Michigan.—An appropriaition of $6,000 was made July 15,1870, for a light at this x)lace. The engineer officer who is in charge of the harbor works has been requested to furnish a copy of the surA^ey of the harbor, and as soon as it is received, plans will be prepared for the erection ofthe necessary buildings. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 387 Wliite River, Michigan, Lalce Michigan.—The appropriation, of ,$10,000 made by Congress for the establishment of alight at this place, rcA'-erted to the treasury under the act of July 12, 1870. An appropriation is recommmended, and the amount has been included in the annual estimates of this year. 466. Muskegon, Michigan, Lake Michigan.—The board having decided to rebuild this light-house upon the old site upon the south side of the riA^er, negotiations which had been going on for some time for a new site on the north side ofthe river have been discontinued, and a working party is now engaged in building.the light-house upon the place originally approved by the board. , ' Beacon at the entrance to Grand Haven, Michigan, Lake Micliigan.—The large commerce enteringand leaAdng this harbor demands that an efficient light should be xilaced at the end of the harbor pier. Such a light was, before the extension of the harbor pier, erected and maintained by the Detroit and Milwaukee Eailroad Company, and aftex the United States authorities extended the pier, a temporary structure was erected near the extreme end of the x^ier and maintained by private enterprise. I t has since been discontinued for the reason that when most needed (during heavy gales) it could not be reached, as the sea breaks over the pier. An elevated Avalk will, therefore, have to be constructed to enable the' keeper to reach the beacon at all times. The length of this walk Avill have to be 1,200 feet. Its height above the harbor pier should be a t least seven feet. The xiresent fog signal is a bell, rung-by means of a caloric engine. Its distance from the pier head, which it is presumed to make during foggy weather, is OA^er 1,200 feet. It Avill be xilaced as near to the end of the Xiier as xiossible, and outside of the tower, so that no obstacle may interfere with the transmission of the sound. For such an exposed position the present fog signal is not suited, and therefore a bell, Avith Stevens's striking apparatus, Avill be placed in the proposed UCAV tower. For the construction of a wooden toAver, an elevated walk 1,200 feet long, and a fog signal, an appropriation is recommended of $8,000, and is embraced in the estimates for the next fiscal year. Black Lalce Harhor, Michigan, Lake- Michigan.—An approxiriation was made July 15, 1870, of $6,000 for the establishment of a beacon light at this place. As soon as the necessary plats and drawings of the harbor works at this place are received, the work Avill be commenced. South Haven,.Michigan, Lake Michigan.-^Plajiii had been prexiared and approved for the construction of a beacon at this place, for which there Avas an appropriation of $6,000, but before the work could be commenced the money reverted to the treasury under the act of July 12, 1870. A reapproxiriation is asked, and the amount included in the estimates for the next fiscal year. ' 470. St. Joseph's Beacon, Michigan, Lake Michigan.—An appropriation of $3,000 was made July 15, 1870, for rebuilding the beacon on the end of the x^ier at this x>lace. The work is in progress. Calumet, Illinois, Lake Michigan.^-The imxirovements to be made at this harbor under a recent axix^roxiriation of Congress will open it to commerce and will necessitate the usual aids to navigaition. These will have to consist in— ' 1st. A light-house tower at the end of one of the harbor piers with a keeper's dwelling on shore,.and an elCA^ated walk connecting both structures, to enable the keeper to reach the tower at all times. 2d. A buoy, which may be a third-class can, to mark the rocky reef or shoal lying north of the new entrance to the harbor, and distant from 388 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. it about 1 J.mile, and from the shore about 2,800 feet. It is proposed that the keeper's dAvelling be erected upon the old light-house site, Avhich is close to the IICAV entrance and is still owned by the United States. For these improvements an estimate is submitted and an appropriation is recommended of $10,000. 472. Chicago, Illinois, Lake Michigan.—When this light-house was built, it marked the extreme end of the North Harbor pier. This pier has been extended lakeA^^ard at different times so that HOAA^ its extreme end is 1,200 feet from the light-house, AA^hich Avas last year marked by a beacon. The smoke of the many factories and stearaers frequently obscures.this light. The time has come AA^hen this light should be removed to a more eligible site, and it is recommended that it be transferred to Grosse Point, 13 miles north of Chicago. It would there serve what it Avas intended for, to mark the approach to Chicago, and a ^ X^rominent xioint of the coast, the present Avooden dwelling to reniain ^ ' in its xiosition, to serA^e as a dwelling for the keexier of the beacon. From its gable end a light to be shoAvii which, Avith the beacon, Avill form a range indicating the direction of the North Harbor x^ier. A xiroxier light should also be xilaced upon the crib at the outer end of the tunnel of the Chicago Avatex-Avorks, to rexilace the xiresent inefficient one, not under the control of the Light-house Establishment. There are recommended for the xiresent onlj^the remoA^al of the main light to Grosse Point, and to xirovide the dwelling AAdth a xii'oper light, and for these objects an apxiropriation of $25,000 is recommended and included in the annual estimates. 473. Chicago (Illinois) heacon, Lalce Michigan.—Thh beacon was erected o n t h e end ot the north x')ier, and the light exhibited duiing the last season. 477. Racine, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan.—A fourth-order lens of 270^ arc has been x:)laced in this light-house as a substitute of the fifth order of 180O arc of illumination, making a great improvement in it. A light-house on Racine Point, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan.—A lakecoast light has been asked for to be xilaced on Eacine Point, which lies 3^ miles to the north of Eacine and 18 miles, south of the light on the Xiier at Milwaukee. This xioint shuts out to the northward the light at Eacine, Avhich is in an indentation of the lake coast line, and is therefore not seen by A'CSsels coming frora the north Avliile keexiing the shore well aboard, as they must do ordinarily until AA^CII abreast of it. Frequent shixiwrecks haA^e occurred at this xioint for want of a proper mark uxion it. A light is needed on this xioint also, to direct naAdgators clear of Eacine Eeef, which lies well out, and only marked by a buoy. A fog signal should be established at the same time. The estiraated cost of this establishment is $40,000. 479. Milwaukee (Wisconsin) North Cut heacon, Lake Michigan.—The same difficulty exists here as at Chicago and other x^faces Avhere the xiiers have been extended, Avhich Avill require at no distant day a small beacon light on the extreme end of the pier, which will however serve as a range for entering between the tAvo piers. The outer apxiroach to the harbor is hoAvcA'-er marked h j a light on the north point of the bay. A coast light at Twin River Point, Wisconsin, Lake Michigan.—This point is 7 miles north of ManitoAvoc, and occupies a xiosition on the west coast of Lake Michigan similar to Grand " Point au Sable" on the east coast. I t is the x^rominent landraark for A^^essels navigating Lake Michigan, and should be marked by a toAver 100 feet high, AAdth aii apparatus of the third order. There is an old discontinued station at the Adllage of "Twin Eivers," but the site is too fax south of the point LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 389 to answer the x^nrpose of a coast light. I t will require an axipropriation of $40,000 for this lake-coast light; and as its importance has been urged, attention is called to it, but it has not been includedin the annual estimates for the next fiscal year. 483-484. Bayley's Harhor (Wisconsin) range light. Lake Michigan.— These lights were completed at the close of the Avorking season last year. With a range beyond the outer shoals off the harbor and bar, and the "Cana Island" light to guide to the approach, these lights will enable vessels seeking a harbor of refuge to safely enter to a safe anchorage. 485. Cana Island, Lalce Michigan.—This light Avas completed at the close of the Avorking season last fall, and exhibited for the first time at the opening of naAdgation this spring. This light is a substitute for the old Bayley's Harbor light, to serve the double xiurpose of a lake-coast light, and at the same time mark the near approach to Bayley's Harbor, Avhich can only be safel37^ entered at night by bringing the two lights inside in range line Avliile outside of the bar. North Bay, Wisco7isin, Lake Michigan.—Negotiations are UOAV pending for a x:)roper site for range lights to guide into this harbor; an appropriation of $7,500, apxiroA^ed July 15, 1870, being avadable for this purpose. Poverty Island, Lake Michigan.—Attention is resxiectfully invited to remarks in the last annual report from this office regarding the necessity of a light at this xioint, and the apxiropriation therein named is again asked, aniounting to $18,000: POVERTY ISLAND.—The importance of a light at this place will be better recognized by quoting the remarks relatiug to it in. the anuual report of 1867, viz.: " The already large and rapidly increasi]:ig commerce to and from the northern end of Green Bay and lower lake parts now takes in daylight the northern passage from Lake Michigan into Green Bay, because of its being much shorter and more direct. To enable vessels to use the same jDassage in the night, a light-house on Poverty Island is necessary." Fox River, Wisconsin, Green Bay, Lalce Michigan.—The appropriations, amounting in the aggregate to $11,000, for beacon lights at the entrance to Fox Eiyer, haAdng reverted to the treasury under the law of July 12, 1870, it is recommended that the aboA^e amount be reappropriated. The board is informed that the harbor imxirovements there wdll be completed during the xiresent season for work. 494. Round Island, Lalce Sup)erior.—Thi^ station is being thoroughly renovated under an appropriation of $8,000, apxiroA^ed July 15, 1870, upon plans apxiroved by the board. The tower is to be raised and provided Avith a new deck xilate and lantern; a kitchen addition is to be built; the cellar to haA^e a concrete floor; and a drain to be put in a thorough state of rexiair. These improA^enients Avill be completed before the close of the x^iesent AA^orking season; all the materials have.been delivered. 495. Poioit Iroquois, Michigan, Lake Superior.—A Avorking party is now engaged in rebuilding this station under a recent appropriation. It is hoped that the work may be corapleted before the close of navigation. All the raaterials have been deliA^ered. 496. White Fish Point, Michigan, Lalce Superior.—This is,one of the most important lights on the lakes, owing to the point ux3on which it is placed being projected well into the lake, with deep water close to it. Vessels bound either up or down the lake run for this light, and in foggy Aveather Avithout an efficient fog signal both delay and risk are encountered. The balance of the appropriation for efficient fog signals at this and other important xioints in the district having been carried into the treasury undex the operation of the act of July 12, 1870, a reaxipropriation has been asked for in the annual estimates. 390 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. A coast light hetween White Fish Point and Grand Island Harhor^ Michigan, Lake Superior.—In the three last annual rexiorts an axipropriation of $40,000 was recommended for the purpose of establishing a light on this portion of the lake coast. As it is deemed of great importance, the recommendation is renewed, although not included in^ the annual estimates. 501. Marquette, Michigan, Lalce Superior.—The arc illuminated by this light having been found too small, an apparatus of 270° arc has been ordered to be xilaced in lieu of the one of 180° now there. 502. G^'-anite Island, Lalce Superior.—This light serves the double purXiose of marking a dangerous outljdng rock, lying 12 miles to the northwest of the harbor of Marquette, and as a key to the apxiroach to that harbor Avhen coming from up the lake, and as it is outside of the general line of the trend of the coast, it is in foggy weather, in the absence of an efficient fog signal, a serious obstruction to navigation, and hence an estimate has been submitted for a fog signal for this light station. 503. Huron Island, Lalce Superior.—Huron Island consists of a series of granite peaks separated by deep chasms. Uxion the highest of these peaks the light-house was xilaced at an elevation of 163 feet aboA^e thelake. A road was constructed at the time of building the light-house. The chasms were then spanned by temxiorary wooden structures, the timber used being the small birch trees found on the island. These wooden structures are already showing signs of decay and should be superseded by structures more permanent. To build a proper road from the lower landing to the light-house Avill require an outlay of about $3,000. ^ A fog signal is very much needed at this station, and provision for one had been made in the apxiropriation for new and efficient fog signals, which, under the laAV of July 12,1870, has reverted to the treasury. An appropriation for the road and a reappropriation for the fog signal have been submitted in the annual estimates. 505-506. Portage (Michigan) Ranges, Lake Superior.—The buildings stand in a marsh, and the unusually high water during the past summer has shown that they should be raised as well as the walk connecting front and rear light. There should also be a sufficient place around the . dAvelling filled in Avith graA^el so as to afford the keeper a dry place around his house. The buildings are of Avood, and can therefore easily ' b e raised. The cost of all these imxiroveinents AvilL probably be.about $900, Avliich has been submitted in the estimates. 507. Mendota, Michigan, Lalce Superior.—This light, designed to guide vessels through an artificial cut to Lac La Belle, haAdng been found to be of no use to naAdgators as a coast light, and as there is no commerce or at xiresent attraction, for comraercial enterprise, and insufficient depth of water for any freight or x>assenger vessel navigating Lake Superior, its discontinuance has been ordered from and after the close of the present iiaA^igating season. 508. Manitou, Michigan, Lake Superior.—This light is off the most easterly part of KeweenaAv Point, in Lake Suxierior, close around which vessels bound np or doAvn the lake or to Marquette haA^e to x^ass without any guide for turning during fogs, AAdiich x^icvail during parts of the navigating season. This light-station is one of great importance, and a a first-class fog-signal is almost indispensable, and therefore a reappropriation of the funds carried into the treasury by the act of July 12, 1870, for this object has been included in the annuar estimates. 513. Eagle Harhor, Michigan, Lalce Superior.—An ax')propriation was made July 15, 1870, for rebuilding the light-house structures at this LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD. 391 place. The plans have been prepared and the work Avill be done without avoidable delay. The materials are now being deliA^ered at the site. 514. Eagle River, Michigan, Lake Superior.—It Avas the intention to rebuild this station during the present season, uncier an appropriation apxiroA^ed March 3,1869, amounting to $14,000. This it will be impossible to do now, the appropriation having rcA^erted to the,treasury under the law of July 12, 1870. It is recoramended that the above amount be reappropriated, as estiraated for in the annual estimates. The condition of the xiresent structure is A^ery bad,-the effect of age and exposed location. 516.' Michigan Island, Lalce Superior.—This station was reestablished last season, after undergoing thorough renoA^ation and repair. Duluth, Minnesota, Lalce Superior.—This is the terminus of the railroad from St. Paul, Minnesota, to the head of Lake Suxierior. The x>lace is becoming rapidly built up; Avharves, elevators for grain, and x^i^i'S are being built; and although there is alight-house at Minnesota Point, at the mouth of St. Louis Eiver, Superior City, yet it only SCIYCS as a general guide for that side of the head of the lake. A light haAdng been asked for to guide to that side of the lake, an estimate of $10,000 has been submitted in the annual estimates of this year. The numerous petitioners for this light, upon six diff'erent petitions, represent" that whde the harbor of Duluth is easy of access and safe during the day, or when land-marks are Adsible, it being without beacons, is difficult and dangerous at night Avhen the Aveather is thick; that vessels are UOAV arriving and departing daily, and with the prospect of greatly increased trade to folio A the comxiletion of the Lake Superior and Mississippi Eailroad, V which Avill be read}^ for through traffic in a fcAV weeks; that the Northern Pacific Eailroad Company is. about forwarding the iron and other materials for building its* line to Eed EiA^er (over 200 miles) to this port, which will make the trade this season exceedingly large. An iramense future commerce is also assured by the building of the abovenamed two roads to this port, the most Avesterly xioint to AA^hich the great lakes can be navigated; that the nearest harbor of refuge on the south shore of the lake is at Bayfield, 75 miles distant, while the nearest safe harbor on the north shore is still more distant. Sudden storms at this end of the lake, therefore, render the harbor at Duluth one of peculiar and exceeding importance to the comraerce of the lakes. We therefore x^ray your honorable board to take such measures as will lead to the early establishment of such lights and guards as may be necessary for the protection of the large shixiping interests from all the lake x>orts now centering there." DAY OR UNLIGHTED BEACONS. Peshtigo Shoal, Green Bay.—A day-beacon has been erected at the extreme easterly end of the spit of sand extending from Peshtigo Ei\''er into Green Bay. It consists of a wooden crib 30 feet square, surmounted by a pyramidical skeleton frame, uxion Avhich is placed an iron cage. The beacon is comxileted, except some rip-rapping required to secure its foundation. Stanard's Rock, Lake Superior.—The beacon erected uxion this isolated xock, lying in the lake, 23J miles from Manitou light-house, (the nearest land,) Avas found in August last to be intact and in good condition^ I t was rexiainted', to preserve the material and render it abetter day-mark.

All the oil and other sux)X)lies for the light-houses on the lakes are received at, and distributed frora, this depot. The sraall teraporary storehouse of Avood is not only inadequate in size and unadapted tO' the service, but is unsafe for tlie storage of such valuable corabustible property as is necessarily deposited for annual and incidental distribution.

An estimate has been included and submitted in annual estimates for the sum of $25,000 for the next fiscal year. TENDERS. / The little steam-tender Haze is employed every year, from the opening of navigation in the spring to the close in the fall, in x>lacing the buoys as far as xiossible, and in delivering oil and other annual supplies to all the lights in the St. Lawrence and Niagara Eivers, and in Lakes Ontario, Erie, St. Clair, Huron, Michigan, and Superior, and their tributaries, during which time the inspectors and lamxiists of the IAVO districts make visits of inspection, and x^ut the lamps and machinery in repair. This vessel also carries such freight and parties for rexiairing, rebuilding, &c.,. of light-houses, before and after delivering supxilies, as time and other duties will allow. The steam-tender Warrington and the sailing schooner Belle are employed exclusively by the engineer in transporting material and workmen to the diff'erent light stations for construction or repair, as the case may be. The Warrington is an indispensable adjunct to the other means eraployed for constructing the difficult works on Spectacle Eeef. As the operations for this work are at present raainly on shore, she has been used during the xiresent season in transporting materials for numerous U A works in the district. She has delivered so far all the raaterCV ials for Spectacle Eeef, in addition to those of ten other light-stations, which have been, or are at xiresent, in progress. The sailing schooner Belle has been in attendance upon the Spectacle Eeef working xiarty at Scamraon's Harbor; in transporting tools, rigging, &c., frora completed works to those needing them. When not requirecl for other serAdce, she is eraployed as at present, collecting ballast stone for the pier of x^i'otection at Spectacle Eeef. This A^essel also serves occasionally for quarters for working parties, when required at xdaces where other economical means axe not available for that purpose.

An appropriation was made and the light exhibited in 1854. Certain parties claimed to be the owners of the land, and resorted to A^exatious proceedings to coerce the Government into the payment of $8,000 for the site, and finally obtained a decision from the courts in their faA^or, Avhereupon the only alternative left to the United States was that of having the land condemned for Xiublic use under the laws of the State as x^rescribed for such cases. This has resulted in an award of $1,000 by the court to the claimants for the land embraced in the site. 361. Santa Cruz, California, entrance to Santa Cruz Harhor.—This light-station was established during the last year. Point Ano Nuevo, and Pigeon Point, sea-coast of California.—An axixiropriation was made for a light on. Point Aiio Nuevo or vicinity, and during the t V last years eYevy effort was made to obtain a site and valid AO title. Finally these eff'orts Avexe crowned Avith success, and preparations made for at once commencing the work, but before much progress could be made the balance supposed to be ample to complete the Avork reverted to the treasury under the act of July 12, 1870. An estimate has been submitted for a re-apx3ropriation. . Straits of San Pahlo, California, hetween the Bay of San Francisco and the Bay of San Pahlo.—A light-house and fog-signal at San Pablo Point or vicinity is much needed, as it would serve as a guide for all A^essels navigating the Sacraraento and San Joaquin Eivers, and for ocean steamers and sailing A^essels bound to and from Yallejo and Mare Island navy yard. Straits of Carquinez, California, hetween the Bay of San Pahlo and Suisun Bay.—An approx)riation A as made for the erection of alightV house on Mare Island, but as that location was not suited to the wants of navdgation, the money was turned into the treasury, and a re-ax)proXiriation is submitted on the estimates for this xioint as the proper one. Point Reyes, sea. coast of California.—The purchase of the site for this light station was reported last year. The work of construction Avill, it is expected, be completed about the middle of Noveraber, and the light ready for exhibition about the first of December of this year. 366. Point Arena, sea-coast of California.—The works at this station were commenced September 30,1869, and comxileted the following Axiril. The light Avas exhibited for the first time, May 1, 1870. The apparatus is of the first order, fixed in a tower 100 feet high from base, and the height of the light above the mean level of the sea 150 feet. , 367. Cape Mendocino, sea-coast of California.—-A xierson claiming to be the rightful OAvner of the land upon Avliich this light-house is built brought suit to eject the keeper, and to obtain x^ossession of the station. The case Avas tried at the June term of» the district court of the eighth judicial district, at Eureka, California, and resulted in a nonsuit. The folloAving-named light stations require rexiairs to be made during the current and ensuing year: 360. Point Pinos, California, entrance to Montere^^ Harbor. 363. Point Bonita, California, entrance to San Francisco Harbor. 365. Alcatraz, California, Alcatraz Island, San Francisco Harbor. 368. Huniholdt, California, entrance to Humboldt Bay. At the following-named light stations there haA^e been repairs and renovations more or less extensive during the last 3^ear: 357. Point Loma, sea-coast of California, entrance to San Diego Harbor. 358. Santa Barhara, .California, Santa Barbara Channel. LIGHT-HOUSE BOARD, 395 359.

Alcatraz, California, Alactraz Island, San Francisco Harbor. There are no light-vessels in this district. TENDERS. The small steam-tender Shubrick is employed in this and the thirteenth district, embracing the entire Pacific coast, and delivering supx:)lies of oil, and other necessaries for the diff'erent light stations; in x^lacin'g and replacing the buoys; in making inspections; and when not otherwise employed, in carrying freight of materia;l and labor for constructing new, and repairing old light-houses. Congress, at its last session, made an appropriation for another tender for the Pacific coast, which, when built and sent there, will add much to the economy of the service, esxieeially in transferring labor and materials for repairs of old, and the construction of new Avorks. ' THIRTEENTH DISTRICT. This district embracies all aids to navigation on the Pacific coast of the United States north ofthe forty-first parallel of latitude. Inspector.—Comraodore Alfred Taylor, United States Nav3^ Engineer.—Brevet Lieutenant Colonel E. S. Williamson, major of engineers United States Army. There are.in this district— .

Gape Blanco, sea-coast of Oregon.—The light-house structures at this point are in xirogress, and will be completed by December 15 of this j^ear. This point can onl}^ be reached with materials and labor by sea, and, after reaching the offing, they can only be landed under the most favorable circumstances of sea and weather through the surf. Freights for this section were held at fabulous prices by owners of vessels, rendering it necessary to burn the brick on the ground, which was successfully done; but all other materials and x^iovisions for the mechanics had to be sent by sea, and landed at great risk of loss of life and property. Yaquina, Oregon, entrance to Yaquina Bay.—An axipropriation was made at the last session of Congress for lighting the entrance to this tejo An examination of the locality has been made, aiid the work wdll be commenced as soon as a xiroper site and valid title can be obtained. Gape Foulweatlier, sea-coast of Oregon.—An estimate was submitted 396 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. last year for a sea-coast light at this x>oint. A reservation of the necassary land has been made. This being one of the outlying xioints on the Pacific coast upon which a first-class light must be placed, sooner or latea-"^ and in consideration of the commerce of that coast, the estimate is renewed this year. At the following-named light stations there have been repairs antl renovations more or less extensive during the last year: 369. Crescent City, California, entrance to Crescent City Harbor. 373. Cape Flattery, sea-coast of Washington Territory, entrance to tiif^ Straits of Juan de Fuca. The following-named light-houses require repairs, to be made during the current and ensuing year: 370. Cape Arago, (Gregory,) sea-coast of Oregon. 371. Cape Bisappointment, (Hancock,) sea-coast of Washington Territory, entrance to the Columbia Eiver. 372.^ Shoalwater Bay, Washington Territory. 374.

There are no light-vessels in this district. TENDERS. The small steam*tender Shubrick is used in common to look after the lights and buoys in this and the twelfth district. BUOY DEPOTS. The x^rincipal station for keeping spare buoys is at Mare Island. Th© spare buoys for the Columbia are kept in the vicinitj^ for use at the bar of that river. All of which is very respectfully submitted. W. B. SHUBEICK, Rear-Admiral United States Navy^ Chairman of Light-house Boards THORNTON A. JENKINS, Rear-Admiral TJnited States Navy, Naval Secretary.

The distribution of the bullion received and coined at the Mint and branches was as follows: P/wto/e?p/^m.—At Philadelphia, gold deposited, $2,880,069 22; gold coined, $2,830,752 50; fine gold bars, $171,624 97; silver deposited and purchased, $1,352,588 09; silver coined, $1,152,960 50; silver bars, $195,078 0 1 ; nickel, copper, and bronze coinage, value, $611,445. Total deposits of gold and silver, $4,232,657 3 1 ; total coinage, $4,961,860 98; total number of pieces, 21,330,546. San Francisco.—At the branch mint, San Francisco, the gold deposits were $18,816,981 07; gold coined, $19,316,050; silver deposited and purchased, $494,418 1 1 ; silver coined, $594,500. Total deposits and purchases, $19,311,399 18; total coinage, $19,910,550; total number of pieces, 2,592,180. New Yorlc.—The assay office in New York received during the year, in gold bullion, $6,657,891 94; in silver bullion, including purchases, $1,613,364 46. Total value received, $8,271,256 40.

' ' Denver.—At the branch mint, now assay office, Denver, Colorado, the dexiosits for unparted bars were, gold, $990,063 18; silver, $15,987 08; total deposits, $1,006,050 26. This statement exhibits a very gratifying increase in the dexiosits over those of last year, and we have every reason to anticipate a continuing increase In the deposits and business 420 REPORT ON THE EINANCES. of this office. It is principally engaged in melting, assaying, and stamping gold and silver bullion, and returning the same to the depositors in unparted bars, bearing the Government stamp of weight and fineness. The experience of the past year fully justifies the declaration made in my last annual report, t h a t ' ' as an assay office it will meet all the demands of the miner, and promote as effectually the mining interests of the region as a mint for coinage could i^ossibly do." All this it has accomplished iiromptly and satisfactorily, and greatly aided and encouraged the efforts made to discover and increase the production of the precious metals. Charlotte.—The deposits at the branch mint, Charlotte, North Carolina, now in operation as an assay office, have not been large, but are increasing. These deposits are assayed, and returned to depositors in the form of unparted bars. The dexiosits for bars during the year were, gold, $16,108 60; an increase of $12,948 20 over those of last year. Dahlonega and New Orleans.—The branch mints at Dahlonega, Georgia, and New Orleans, Louisiana, are still closed, and no necessity exists for their being again oxiened, either as assay offices or branch mints. Carson City.—The branch mint at Carson City, Nevada, is now in. operation. In May, 1869, the fitting up of this branch for business as a mint was commenced, and completed in December of that year. On the 8th of January, 1870, it was opened for the reception of bullion. The superintendent, in his report, says: '' Since that time the business, has been steadily increasing, and, with the facilities afforded other institutions of its kind, will do a large business, both in refining and coining.'' This branch mint, to make it efficient and successful, requires a bullion fund equal to the legitimate demands of business and the just exxDectations of its depositors. No such fund has^ as yet, been provided for the institution. The urgent request of the superintendent for such fund was approved by the Director, and forwarded to the X3r6per authorities for their consideration and action. It is desirable that the subject should be favorably considered, and the fund xirovided. "The delay," says the superintendent, in his report, " in giving the branch a sufficient amount of gold and silver to cash deposits so soon as their value should be determined, has operated very injuriously, as well in regard to the amount of bullion received as in the expense of working it. Large lots of bullion can be Avorked with far less percentage of wastage than small ones, and the labor of re-mdting and re-assaying has been much greater than if larger quantities could have been worked at once." In reference to the future of this branchy and its influence in developing the mineral resources of the country, the report says : ^' The mining interests.of the country, from whence the larger portions of bullion is received, are improving rapidly. New mines are being developed, and larger quantities of bullion produced as the cost of working the ore is becoming reduced." " W i t h proper arrangement and facilities afforded this branch it will increase its business materially duriug the next fiscal year, and give much aid in developing the mining interests of this and adjoining States." The deposits at this branch during the year were^ gold, $124,154 44; gold coined, $110,576 05; silver deposits and purchases, $28,262 16; silver coined, $19,793. Total deposits and purchases, $152,416 60; total coinage, $130,369 05 ; total number of pieces, 38,566. The report is very encouraging, and it is earnestly desired that the present anticipations of its officers may be fully realized in the future prosperity of this branch. I cannot forbear repeating the declaration made in my last annual report, that the policy of the Government, in relation to the DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 421 develoximent of the mineral wealth of our country, should be liberal and. generous. . Branch mint policy.—For my views on the subject of assay offices, and the impolicy of increasing the number of branch mints, I refer respectfully to my x^revious reports, in which they will be found fully and freely expressed. The importance of the early comxiletion of the new branch mint building at San Francisco cannot be too strongly urged upon the Government. Every consideration of public and private interest demands it. I have, informer reports, expressed my convictions of the importance of this work, and now earnestly repeat the recommendations then made, REDEiMiPTION OF COPPER AND NICKEL COINS. As authorized by law, the redemption of the nickel-copper cents was continued during the fiscal year, by exchange for the five-cent nickel coins. The amount thus redeemed was, in pounds, 68,237; value, $66,872 26. The amount redeemed last year was $101,465 25, showing a decrease of $34,592 99, and being $193,609 78 less than the amount redeemed during the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1868. The amount now outstanding is but little, if any, in excess of the actual demand. This is evident from the fact of the decreasing redemption, and that orders during the past year for the bronze one and two-cent pieces were largei}^ in excess of the amount redeemed. Should x)rovision be made by law for the redemption of the one-cent and two-cent bronze coins ? I have uo hesitation in answering this question in the negative. No consideration of public interest or private convenience demands the redemption of those coins or the substitution of a nickel one-cent piece for the bronze coin of that denomination. Provision is already made for redeeming the five-cent nickel coins, and beyond this the redemption of the base coinage is not demanded or expected by the public. I respectfully refer you to my remarks on this subject in my last annual rexiort. Profits.—The net x^rofits of the nickel-copper and bronze poinage x)aid into the Treasury of the United States during the fiscal year were $275,000. The demand for this small coinage has, from various causes, largely declined. The redemption and recall of the paper fractional currency would increase the demand. As required by law, the alloy of the minor coinage has been regularly assayed and reported b y t h e assayer of the Mint, and the legal proportion of the constituent metals has been properly maintained. SILYER-TOKEN COINAGE. In my last annual report I urged the adoption of a silver currency "for change," in lieu ofthe postal or small note currency, as an important adjuvant to a general resumption of specie pay;nents, and that such substitution would be acceptable to the people and fully approved by them. It is gratifying to know that the suggestions then made have had the approval of men well versed in political economy and of sound practical judgment. A number of our leading commercial newspapers have also emxihatically endorsed the proposition. The recommendation made was, in substance, that, without waiting for the resumption of specie payments. Congress shall authorize the issue, at once, of silver coins of the denominations of 10, 25 and 50 cents; that while the weight of the proposed coins be reduced below that of the corresponding present 422 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. silver coins, the standard fineness should be preserved; in other words, those coins to be of equal purity Avith the present silvier coinage; that they be issued to a limited amount, adequate to supply the real wants, of the community, in exchange for United States notes, including fractional currency, and be made a legal tender to a small amount, say five or ten dollars. Such substitution would be a real reform in our currency, and less objectionable in form and fact than the x^iesent x^aper issues of the lower fractions of the dollar. The objections to this Y>VOposed coinage Avill apxily with equal force to. the present fractional silver coinage; for this last, Avhile of standard fineness, is both in weight and value below the true standard; and if the objections apply with equal force to our present silver coinage, how much more to our small notes, our x^aper change, the material of which has no intrinsic A^alue whatever, and which is, and can be so easily counterfeited '^ The reduction in weight of these coins, while it would render them intrinsically worth less than the nominal value, would not make them unacceptable as " change," but would counteract any disposition to hoard or export them, and thus keep them in constant circulation. A supply of silver for the x^nrpose of this coinage could be readily obtained. The product of silver in Nevada and Colorado will be sufficient to meet this demand, and could come direct to us from Denver, Carson, and Virginia cities without going to San Francisco, or xiassing through the hands of speculators. By reason of the profits of this coinage we could aff'ord to x^ay a price sufficient to divert our silver product either from China or Europe. Other sources of supply would be open to us. In any contingency a full supply of sih^er could be procured. The coins Avould be issued in exchange for paxier currency, and be redeemed in like manner; and when specie payments are resumed, or ha^ang returned to a permanent specie basis, we could recoin the amount redeemed and return it to the general specie circulation of the country. Kecoining of silver, when long used as a circulating medium, is a necessity; as it becomes deteriorated in value and defaced by abrasion Avhen in constant use. Kecoining, then, is no objection to the new coinage. ^ ,^ . In the language of one who has given this subject much intelligent consideration, and whose published essays are full of information, " This is not a scheniefor debasing the standard of value. Its only,object is to restore silver upon. such, a basis, under legal sanctions, as Avill enable it to keep its subsidiary x)lace, whether the chief currency be paper, as it is now, or gold, as we hoxie it Avill soon be. Limited in legal tender and in amount of issue, these silver coins Avill serve their x')nrpose as well as if they were twice as heavy; in fact, will be found more convenient." The folloAving statement or table exhibits the weight, diameter, and value of the xiresent and x^ioposed silver coinage. Present Coinage. Weiglit. Denomination. Half doBar Qnarter dollar Dime '. .

WORK OF THE MINT AND BRANCHES. The mint work is necessarily hindered and restricted by the continued suspension of specie payments. We are doing less than was done many ^T^ears ago, when there was.a much smaller population and far less Avealth. Certainly there is no need of creating any more coining establishments. Emerging from a tremendous civil war, which shook every social interest to the very foundation, it is no wonder that our currency continues in an abnormal condition. Most of our peoxile rarely get the sight of a gold or silver coin. They know, by the state of the money market, the relation between the x^iecious metals and current paper notes, and they mrnst be kept advised of this to understand what is the real value of those notes ; but the gold, by which the measure is made, is almost as much out of sight as the sacred xiound troy, or kilogram, carefully guarded as the final resort. But the people at large will never give up the idea that the real money is made of gold and silver; made of definite weight and fineness, and certified by Government stamp. They will use paper, and its use Avill increase ; its imponderable property makes it a very great convenience. Still it is only X3aper; a little fire or water destroys i t ; and if it does not bear a market relation to gold, it may be kept safe and yet will buy nothing. A cabinet minister of England iias intimated that we might do without gold and silver money were it not that we must bend to poxiular x^rejudices. But in this matter the common sense of the masses is superior to the subtle arguments of statesmen and financiers. Paper, guaranteed by Governnient, answers some of the ends of money, at least Avithin the bounds of its jGovernment; but gold, primarily, and silver as a subsidiary, ^er/<?c^Zt/answer all the requirements of currency. They would seem to have been so designed by an all-Avise Creator in foresight of the needs of civilized society. Their adaptation is admirable. They are scarce and valuable; ahvays in request for articles of ornament, or household use-of the higher type; they pass through fire without loss, and are easily restored to the former condition ; they are ductile and easily wrought; their quality or fineness can be quickly and most minutely ascertained; they are pleasant to the touch, and their color is distinctive, beautiful, and inimitable. In addition to all this, the superior metal, gold, has a weightiness or specific gravity Avhich sets at naught the baser imitations; and both metals, if heavy to carry, are solid to keep. They may be said to last forever. 424 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. Yery many coins, both gold and silver, struck centuries before the Christian era, continue almost as fresh and bright as when they first left the mint. This is not saying that they Avill not suffer by Avear ; but that in their own nature, and with ordinary care, they are indestructible. Such peculiar qualities do not belong to x^^iper or any other substitute for nioney. It really seems necessary to rex^roduce these well-known facts from time to time to counteract the danger of falling into the A'^ery error just quoted as coming from a British statesman. Indeed, a highly respectable journal, noted for its judicious money articles, has said that as our portemonnaies are now so well adapted to notes of all sizes, down to the loAver fractions of a dollar, we might as well keep on with those bits of paper and dispense with silver. Thus a mere x^aper fractional currency, got up to serve an exigency, is first endured, and finally embraced, CA^en in rags. The retired AA^riter, sitting at a desk, may persuade himself into such a notion; but those Avho are paying and receiAdng in shoxis and markets are heartily tired of handling and respecting as money what they would not handle and respect as anything else. These crumpled notes induce habits of prodigality and Avastefulness. A man Avill spend a ragged quarter of a dollar Avhere lie Avould save a solid silver coiu of the same denomination. These arguments are not so much felt by the faA^ored few, especially in cities, who can commonly sux3ply themselves Avith fresh and clean notes; but the case is different in the open country where peox^le must take what they can get. But the deficiency of mint work is not solely due to the continued suspension of specie payments. It happens in other countries where there is no such suspension. The Eoyal Mint of London, a gigantic institution, Avhose work diffuses itself throughout the world, often has its times of relaxation and leisure, because there are times Avhen there is money enough. So we must exxiect similar alternations; and indeed we have them. . Some years we have been overcrowded, other years we have had little to do. The same irregularities attach to many de partments of business, hoAvever unwelcome they may be to those w^ho like to be steadily employed. Although at present the amount of work in the Mint and branches is not so great as in former years, by reason of causes OA^er which these institutions have no control, yet it is gratifying, on taking a review of their operations for the past ten or eleven years, to see how large and important these have been. The deposits and coinage at the mints in Philadelx^hia, San Francisco, and the assay office in New York, are AVorthy of special attention, and prove that these institutions have well fulfilled their respective duties,. The folloAving tables made from official records of the A^alue of the deposits in gold and silver from the fiscal year ending June 30, 1859, to 1869, inclusive, at Philadelphia, Sau Francisco, and New York ; and of the coinage in value and number of pieces at the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints, will exhibit the nature and extent of the work done, and quietly and significantly tell their OAvn. story. 425 DIRECTOR OF THE MINT.

The Mint in Philadelx^hia, in the number of x)ieces struck, exceeded th§ branch at San Francisco over four hundred and sixty-two millions. Now, Avhen it is known that a bronze coin of one cent in value requires nearly as much labor in its preparation and manufacture as a gold dollar or double eagle, the enormous ainount of Avork .and labor done at the parent Mint will be seen and appreciated. San Francisco Avith 22,246,708 pieces produced a coinage of $184,439,199 15 in. A'alue; Philadelphia Avith 484,787,170 pieces produced a coinage qf $143,490,741 88 in value. If each x^iece struck at the x^arent Mint had been equal in A^alue to each piece coined at the San Francisco branch, the coinage at the Philadelphia Mint during the period named would have largely, exceeded in A^alue the entire national debt. Such results are alike creditable to both these minting institutions. The object of these comparisons is not to draAV lines of preference among kindred institutions, but to show that each one has had its own work to do, and that where one is to be credited with large A^alue, a^nother is no less to be credited with the large aggregate number of x)icces struck. NEW E O R E i a N COINS. Since the last report, a few new foreign coins have come to the Mint. 1. The gold x^iece of ten francs, or one carolin, struck in Sweden, is understood to be intended as a contribution to the cause of international coinage uxion the French basis. The standards are/the same as the sirnilar coin of France. The piece bears the effigy ofthe King of Sweden, with legends in SAvedish, and is creditable as a work of art. But as it does not bear any facile relation to the regular currency of the realm, and is intended only for commercial use, it cannot be said to further the idea of unification. That is to say, there are still two kinds of money, one fbr home use and one for exportation^ requiring some arithm^fec to turn the one into the other^. 2. The silver X3iece of 25 cents coined for Canada bears date 1870. It is of the British or sterling fineness, (925 thousandths,) and therefore not intended to be conformed to its sister denomination coined in this country. Nor is it quite of the same bullion value, since our piece, contains 86.4 grains fine silver, and the Canada piece 83.25, a difference of nearly 4 per cent. Yet they will no doubt be at x^ar in circulation. The Canada pound, the former money of account, was rated as equal to four United States dollars, but for the last fifteen years, accounts haA^e been kept there in dollars and cents. The United States silver^ half and quarter dollars have been their currency for many years. Until recently, X-)ayments, large and small, have been made in this coin. But the excessive accumulation of it, especiall}^ during our war, and the fact of its npt being equal to gold in bullion value, has caused some discredit and depreciation .and a large exportation of the coin to a bullion market. And now a new quarter dollar, just mentioned, has been proAaded; and DIRECTOR OF THE MINT. 427 along with it, strange to say, a quarter dollar in paper, much after the fashion of our own. It does not appear AA^hat is the object of having both a silver and a paper quarter dollar, to be used concurrently, unless it be that the latter is a temporary issue. 3. We note a A^ery conspicuous change in the Mexican dollar; not in the standards, but in the dcAdces. Artistically there is a great improvement. There are, as before, the eagle, and serpent, and cactus, Avith the legend, Repuhlica Mexicana, and date; and, on the other side, the radiated cap of Lihertad, reduced in size, and under it a scroll of ^ L E Y , " ^ Avith a balance and sword; but the ^''8 E.''(eight reales) is displaced, and the denomination is Un Peso, conformably to common usage. The fineness is no longer expressed in cZmeros and ^rcmo^, but the equiA^alent in thousandths, 902.7. It is quite to be regretted that they did not make it x^i'ccisely 900, the standard so largely adopted and likely to become uniA^ersal. In x)oint of fact the great mass of Mexican dollars, of all dates, do not average more than 9.01. These UCAV xiieces bear the dates 1869 and 1870, and the mint-mark of the city of Mexico. Whether the same devices will be used by the A^arious x^i'oviucial mints, does not apxiear. There are dollars of Chihuahua, of 1869, bearing the old stamp. 4. We have, also, a new Mexican gold piece, of Yeinten Pesos, (twenty dollars,) dating 1870, of course intended to supersede the time-honored doubloon, and apparently a continuation of the twenty-dollar piece of the ''Lmperio Mexicano^^ of 1866. It is three grains lieaAaer, howcA^er, than the coin of Maximilian; that is, it is 523 troy grains, or 1.09 ounce. It bears the usual legend, Repuhlica Mexicana, the A^alue, and the figures 875, expressiA^e of fineness, equal to 21 carats, as formerly. At these rates it is equal to- $19 72 in our money, without mint charge. It is a very rare x^iece just UOAV, but may become common in future years. The gold pieces of Maximilian Avill forever be curiosities in cabinets of rare coins. The U A Mexican dollars, A^arying from 415 to 417 grains, may be said CV to maintain the usual average weight. New pieces of the old type are found to run as high as 905 thousandths in fineness. A coin so much used in commerce ought to be more steady. Of the ncAv series of BoliAdan coins, only the dollar has yet appeared in this country; and it proves to be, as intended, on a x>ar Avith the French x)iece of five francs in Aveight and fineness; DEYICES ON COINS. This might be a xiroper opportunity to say a fcAV words in regard to the changing of devices on coins, about Avhich there is a wide diversity of oxoinion. As to the Mexican dollar, it is not exactly in the category of national coins. It is eminently international, and a sx3ecial favorite in the Asiatic ports-. There its Avell-known face, though somcAvhat rude, makes it instantly receiA^able. In a new dress, and with a contracted diameter, it may be an object of suspicion ; aud in that point of view it might have been better to haA'e retained the old devices, just as in Austria they still coin a dollar for the LcA^ant trade, bearing the head of Maria Theresa and the date 1780, • ^ But the question remains, whether coins less cosmopolitan may be frequently changed in appearance. Those Avho are fond of making cabinet collections, and the lovers of art generally, are clamorous for new pictures. They would like the series of coins to be monuments of 0 428 REPORT ON THE FINANCES. national history—sure Avitnesses • of events—liL^e the coins- of ancient Eome. At least they demand that ^4ieads and tails'' shall not present their dull monotony for long decades of years, so that there is no mark of diff'erence excex3t the date. Our own coin is particularly liable to this objection. In other lands kings and emperors die or are displaced,, and everybody is eager to get the new coin with the UCAV head. But here it must be, under the law, a ^'figure emblematic of liberty," Avhich, indeed, allows some liberty of full length, or head and bust; but, after all, it is only an idea, or an abstraction, and, as x^^st experience shows, A-ery much a stereotype. And one reason for this practice is to be found not only in the rigid requirements of the law, but in the counter opinion, which considers that there ought to be no marked change except Avhere there is a change of standards, this being the very proxier Avay to introduce them. It is argued that a coin in a new dress always creates a necessity for explanation and induces some apxirehension. The certificate Avhich a government stamps upon its coin is a very sacred thing, much like the great seal of a state, Avhose fixedness indicates stability. So that Aviiile tlds numismatic party would not forbid occasional changes, and Avould always have them to indicate a new weight or. fineness, they are A^ery conservatiA^e in their adherence to old and Avell-known types. . These remarks are not made to preface an opinion on the question, but merely to show how the question stands, that others may judge for themselves. ' MINERAL SPECIMENS. ^ , A part of the almost daily business of our assay department is to examine and report upon mineral specimens sent or brought from all parts of the United States. This Avork is extra-official, but is cheerfully performed as a public benefit. In cases where a chemical trial is required, there is a moderate charge, which inures tp the expense account of the mint. I t is to be regretted, however, that there is so little discernment, among those Avho fancy they haA^e made a discovery, inasmuch as we are constantly called upon to exainine stones of the paost ordinary character, of no greater value than for building or paving. Our school teachers or country physicians might, and, as a general rule, perhaxis they do, acquire enough of the x^iinciples of mineralogy and geology to be of real use to their unlettered neighbors in this respect, and save the expensive transmission of boxes of stone OA^er long lines of travel. In some cases the wizard expert of the mineral rod, or the Adllage blacksmith, has excited high hopes which it was our unpleas^ant duty to dissipate. In other cases Indian traditions have been confidently relied on, and AVC have been compelled to contradict the science or the legends of the aborigines. A moderate knowledge of geological impossibilities would quiet any apprehensions of silver or gold, saA^e in infinitesimal proportions, in many a large expanse of our country. Hapxoily Ave haA^e other kinds of riches buried in the soil everyAvhere, of which we may be as x^roud, and Avith which we may be as Avell satisfied, as Avith our unequaled mines and domains of precious metals.
