REPORT
or THE
SECRETAM OF THE TREASURY.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Decemher 9,
1861.
SIR: The Secretary of the Treasury, in obe'dience to law, sub^Lits
the following report to Congress: .•
, The general principles by which, as the Secretary conceives, the
administration of the public finances should be regulated, with a view
to insure the desirable results of efficiency, economy, and general
prosperity, were set forth, with as much clearness and plainness as
he is capable of, in his report made to Congress on the 4th day of
July last.
In that report, also, the Secretary submitted to the consideration
of the legislature the measures by which, in his opinion, the pecuniary means, necessary to the speedy and effectual suppression of the^
gigantic rebellion set on foot by criminal conspiracy against the government and the people of the United States, might be most cer-.
tainly and most economically obtained.
The estimates of the several departments then laid before Congress
by the Secretary contemplated an aggregate expenditure, during the
fiscal year to end on the 30th June, 1862, of $318,519,581 87.
To provide this sum the Secretary proposed such modifications of
the tariff and such internal taxes as would, in his judgment, produce
the sum of eighty millions of dollars, and such loans, in various
forms, not exceeding in their aggregate two hundred and fifty millions
of dollars, as would yield the required residue.
Without adopting all his recommendations in regard to customs
and internal taxes. Congress made such provision for. both as was
"deemed necessary to secure the sum proposed to be derived from
those sources, and authorized loans, in the mode and to the extent
proposed by .the Secretary, for obtaining the additional sum required'
by the estimates.
^
,
It now becomes his duty to give some account of the execution and
practical operation of these measures; and in the performance of it he
solicits, first, the attention of Congress to that part of them relating.;
* to loans.
' ''
The acts authorizing lodns pr.ovided—
First, For a National Loan of one hundred millions of dollars, or
any larger
sum, not exceeding the whole amount authorized, in bonds

NATIONAL LOAN AND OTHER LOANS. .
or treasury notes, bearing 7.30 per cent interest, payable three years
after date, and convertible at or before maturity into twenty years
six per cent bonds.
'. •
Secondly, For a loan in'' Europe, or in the United States, at the discretion of the Secretary, of one hundred millions of dollars, payable
twenty years after date, and bearing interest not exceeding seven
per cent.
Thirdly^ For the issue, in payments to public creditors, or in exchange for coin, of treasury notes payable one year after date, bearing an interest of 3.65 per cent, and convertible into the three years
7.30 bonds of treasury notes.
Fourthly, For the issue of notes, payable on demand and receivable
for all public dues, to be used as coin in payments and exchanges.
The aggregate of notes of. the two last descriptions was limited to
fifty millions of dollars, in denominations less than fifty, but not less
than five dollars.
A further authority was conferred by the act to issue treasury
notes of any of the specified denominations, bearing six per cent
interest and payable not over twelve months from date, to an amount
not exceeding twenty millions of dollars.
To provide for immediate exigencies was the first duty of the Secretary, and he performed it by issuing, under authorities conferred
by various acts, for payment to public creditors or for advances of
cash, $14,019,034 66 iii treasury notes, payable in two years, and
bearing 6 per cent interest, and $12,877,750 in treasury notes, l3earing the same rate of interest, but payable sixty days after date.
His next care was to provide for the regular and continuous disbursements of the war, under the acts of the July session, and with this
view, he carefully examined the various powers conferred on him;
compared the probabilities of the American and European markets
for capital; and considered the relative advantages and disadvantages
of the several forms of loan authorized.
His reflections led him to the conclusion that the safest, surest, and
most beneficial plan would be to engage the banking institutions of
the three chief commercial cities of the seaboard to advance the
amounts needed for disbursement in the form of loans for three years
7.30 bonds, to be reimbursed, as fair as practicable, from the proceeds.,
of similar bonds, subscribed for by the people through^ the agencies
of the National Loan; using, meanwhile, himself, to a limited extent, in
aid of these advances, the power to issue notes of smaller denominations than fifty dollars, payable on demand.
Upon this plan he hoped that the capital of the banking institu:tions and the capital of the people might be so combined with the
credit-of the government, in a proper provision for necessary expenditures, as to give efficiency to administrative action, whether civil or
military, and competent support to public credit. The result thus,
far has fulfilled that hope.
Representatives from the banking institutions of the three cities,
Responding to his invitation, met him" for consultation in New York,
and, after full conference, agreed to unite as associates in moneyed
support
to the government, and to subscribe at once a loan of fifty
LOANS NEGOTIATED.
9
millions of dollars, of which five millions were to be paid immediately to
' the Assistant Treasurers, in coin, and the residue, also in coin, as needed
for disbursement. The Secretary, on his part, agreed to issue three
years 7.30 bonds or treasury notes, bearing even date with the sub-,
scription, and of equal amount; to cause books of subscription to
the National Loan to be immediately opened; to reimburse the advances of the banks, as far as practicable from this national subscription;'and to deliver to them 7.30 bonds or treasury notes for the
amount not thus reimbursed. It was further understood that the
Secretary of the Treasury should issue a limited amount of United
States notes, payable on demand, in aid of the operations of the
treasury, and that the associated institutions, when the first advance
of fifty millions should be expended, would, if practicable, make
another, and when that should be exhausted, still another advance
to the government of the same amount, and on similar terms.
The^ objects of this arrangement were, (1st) to place at the, command of the government the large sums immediately needed for the
payment of maturing treasury notes, and for other d.isbursements,
ordinary and extraordinary; (2d) to secure to the people equal
opportunity, with the banks, for participation in the loan; (3d) to
avoid competition between the government and the associated institutions in the disposal of bonds; (4th) to facilitate and secure further advances to the government by the associates, if required; and,
(5th) to insure, if possible, the maintenance of payments in spiecie,
or its actual equivalents and representatives.
All these objects were, happily, accomplished. Fifty millions of
dollars were immediately advanced by the banks. The Secretary
caused books of subscription ,to be opened throughout the country,
and the people subscribed freely to the loan. The amounts thus subscribed were reimbursed to the banks, and the sum reimbursed,
though then covering but little more than half the amount, enabled
those institutions, when a second loan was required, to make a second
advance of $50,000,000.
' Thus two loans of $50,000,000 each have been negotiated for three
years 7.30 bonds, at par. T h e first of these loans was negotiated, and
the first issue of bonds bears date, on the 19th.of August; the second
on the 1st of October, 1861.
On the 16th of November a third loan was negotiated with the
associated institutions, under the authority given to the Secretary to
borrow a sum not exceeding one hundred millions, in Europe or the
United States, at a rate of interest not exceeding seven per cent. As
no reasonable prospect appeared of obtaining terms equally advantageous by advertisement, and as it was manifestly for the interest of the
government to negotiate at home rather than incur the expense and
hazard of negotiation abroad, the Secretary, under the authority of the
seventh section of the act of August 5, 1861, arranged this third loan,
also, with the associates, by agreeing to issue to them fifty millions
of dollars in six per cent bonds, at a rate equivalent to par for the
bonds bearing seven per cent interest, authorized by the act of July
17th. This negotiation, though less advantageous to the government,
10

considered under the light of a simple money transaction, than the two
prior loans, was, in some respects at least, more so. It was coupled
with no arrangement for reimbursement, and entailed no immediate
expense on the treasury, beyond that of preparing and issuing the
bonds. It was coupled, also, with an understanding in the form of
an option to the associates, that on or after the first of January a fourth
advance ot fifty millions should be made, on the same terms with the
first and second, if practicable and required by the Secretary.
In addition to the loans thus made, the Secretary has issued United
States notes, payable on demand, in denominations of five, ten, and
twenty dollars, of which there were in circulation, according to the
last returns, on the 30th day of November, 1861, $21,165,220; and
there remained in the treasury at the same date, $3,385,105. The
amount thus issued, so far as it enters into the circulation of the
country, >may be regarded as a loan from the people, payable on demand, without interest.
A brief recapitulation will exhibit the general result:^

While success thus complete has so far attended the measures, relating to loans, the Secretary regrets to say that the receipts of revenue from duties have not, as yet, fulfilled the expectations indulged at
the date of his July report.
The act modifying the rates of duties which received the final
sanction of Congress, differed, in several respects, from the measure
which he had the honor of submitting to their consideration. In
most of these particulars, especially in the diminished duties on tea,
coffee, and sugar, and in the exemption, from the operations of the
act, of goods in warehouse and on shipboarcl, the difference, how-

ever warranted, by considerations of general policy, was certainly
disadvantageous to the revenue; while another, and perhaps more
potential cause of reduced^receipts,, may be found in the changed
circumstances of the country, which have proved, even beyond anticipation, unfavorable to foreign commerce.
At tixe date of,his report, the Secretary counted on a revenue from
customs, for the financial year 1862, of fifty-seven millions of dollars,
but the circumstances to which he has just adverted now constrain
him to reduce this estimate to $32,198,602 55.
The receipts from customs for the first quarter, ending on the
30th September, were $7,198,602 55; while the receipts for the
three remaining quarters cannot be safely estimated at more than
$25,000,000, making the aggregate for the year the sum just mentioned, of $32,198,602 55.
''
^ •
The estimates of receipts from lands and miscellaneous sources
must also be reduced from $3,000,000 to $2,354,062 89, of which
$354,062 89 were received cluring the quarter ending 30th September, 1861, and $2,000,000 are the estimated receipts of the three
remaining quarters.
The only other source of revenue which promises an addition to
the resources of the year is the direct tax authorized by Congress,
from which, if increased to the limit proposed by the Secretary, and
assumed by the States, the further sum of $20,000,000 may be
expected.
The aggregate of revenue from all sources may, therefore, be estimated at $54,552,665 44, which is less by $25,447,334 56 than the
estimate of July.
This reduction, however, though large, would not have compelled
the Secretary to ask any additional powers for the negotiation .of
loans, beyond those asked for in his July report, had appropriations
and expenditures been confined within the estimates then submitted.
Tliese estimates, it will be remembered, contemplated expenditures
in alldepartments,andfor*allobjects,to the amountof $318,519,581 87.
Of this sum $185,296,397 19 were for additional appropriations required
by the Department of War; and $17,652,105 09 for appropriatiori^s •
already made for that department. The basis of the estimates for
these additional appropriations was the understanding that it would
be necessary to bringanto the field, for the suppression of the rebellion, two hundred and fifty thousand volunteers in place of the
seventy-five thousand drafted militia originally called out, and to increase the regular army by the addition of eleven new regiments; making a total force, including the regular army already organized, of about
three hundred thousand men. After estimates for this force had
been furnished to the Secretary, in accordance with law, and his own
report, founded upon them, had been closed, the President thought
it expedient, in order to make the contest short and decisive, to ask
Congress to place at the control of the government at least four hundred thousand men, and four hundred millions of dollars. In the
numbeir thus called for the regulars were included. Congress, animated
12 INCREASED APPROPRIATIONS—RETRENCHMENT AND REFORM.
b y t h e same desire for a short and decisive contest, went beyond this
recommendation of the President, and authorized the acceptance of
volunteers in such numbers, not exceeding^ five hundred thousand, as
he might deem necessary. Congress also authorized the whole increase of the regiilar army estimated for by the department, and provided further for additional companies and for new officers in several
branches of the military service.
The action of Congress, therefore, contemplated the employment,,
if necessary, of a force, including the existing regular army, of about
five, hundred and fifty thousand men. To insure its efficiency, the
President was authorized to appoint any number of major generals
and brigadier generals he might think necessary, and to increase the
staff of major generals in the field by discretionary appointments of
aids-de-camp, with various rank, from captain to colonel.
This large increase of the army in men and officers, and the liberal
additions made by Congress to pay and rations, have augmented, and
must necessarily augment, expenditure far beyond the limit indicated
by the original estimates; and the limit must be still further extended
b y t h e additional sums required for the increase of the navy, and for
other objects.
To meet these increased demands, arising almost wholly from the
increase of the army and navy and the increase of pay and rations
beyond the original estimates, large additional appropriations have
been and will be necessary.
Of these additional appropriations $47,985,566 61 were authorized
by acts of the last session, and $143,130,927 76 are now asked for;
making an aggregate increase, including $22,787,933 31 for indefinite,
appropriations and redemption of temporary debt, beyond the estimates of July of $213,904,427 68.
"
•
To provide the large sums needed for the disbursements of the
current year, and the large sums which the exigencies of the succeeding year may require, will necessarily engage the most serious .attention of Senators and Representatives.
• Th^ first great object of reflection and endeavor, in the judgment
of the Secretary, should be the reduction of expenditure within the
narrowest practicable limits. Retrenchment and reform are among^
the indispensable duties of the hour. Contracts for supplies to the
army and navy, as well as for public Avork of all descriptions, should
be subjected to strict supervision, and the contractors to rigorous responsibility. All unnecessary offices should be abolished, and salaries
and -pay should be materially reduced. In these ways the burdens
of the people, imposed by the war, may be sensibly lightened ; and
the savings thus effected will be worth more in beneficial effect and
influence than the easiest acquisition of equal sums even without cost
or liability to repayment.
While thus recommending retrenchment and the prevention of
abuses, the Secretary feels himself constrained to renew the suggestion
heretofore submitted by him, that the property of rebels should h6 made
to
pay, in part at least, the cost of rebellion. Property of great value

in loyal States is held by proprietors who are actually or virtually
engaged, in that guilty attempt to break up the Union and overturn
its government, which has brought upon our country all the calamities we now endure. That property is justly forfeited to the people,
and should be subjected, with due regard for all rights and interests
concerned, to sequestration or confiscation, and the proceeds should
be applied to the satisfaction of claims arising from the war.
Property of rebels in rebel States should be treated in like manner.
Rights to services, under State laws, must, of necessity,' form an exception to any rule of confiscation. Persons held by rebels, under
such laws, to service as slaves, may, however, be justly liberated
from their constraint, and made more valuable in various employments, through voluntary ancl compensated service, than if confiscated as subjects of property.
Whatever may be saved by retrenchment, however, or exacted
from rebellion, large sums must remain to be provided for by taxation
and loans.
• Already in a former report the Secretary has had the honor of
stating the principles by which, as he conceives, the proportions of taxation and loans should be determined. Reflection has
only confirmed his opinion that adequate provision by taxation for
ordinary expenditures, for prompt payment of interest on the public
debt, existing and authorized, and for the gradual extinction of the
principal, is indispensable to a sound system of finance. The idea of
perpetual debt is not of American nativity, and should not be naturalized. If, at any time, the exacting emergencies of war constrain
to tem'porary departure from the principle of adequate taxation, the
first moments of returning tranquillity should be devoted to its reestablishment in full supremacy over the financial administration of
affairs.
It is now even more apparent than at the date of the July report
that duties on imports cannot'be relied upon as a source of revenue
sufficient for the proper objects of taxation. Some modification may,
perhaps, be judiciously made of the existing tariff, and some increase
of revenue may in this way be probably obtained:
But existing circumstances are not propitious to a wise /and permanent adjustment of imposts to the various demands of revenue,
commerce, and home industry. The most sacred duty of the American
people at this moment requires the consecration of all their energies,
and all their resources to the re-establishment of Union on the permanent foundations of justice and fre'edom; and while other nations
look with indifferent or unfriendly eyes upon this work, sound policy
would.seem to suggest not the extension of foreign trade, but a more
absolute reliance, under God, upon American labor, American skill,
and American soil. Freedom of commerce is, indeed, a wise arid
noble policy; but to be wise or noble, it must be the policy of concordant and fraternal nations.
In accordance with these views, the .Secretary begs leave to recommend that the duties 6n tea, coffee, and sugar be increased to the
Digitized
FRASER proposed; that is to say, to two and one-half cents
rates for
heretofore

per pound on brown sugar; to three cents on clayed sugar; to twenty
cents per pound on green tea, and. to five cents per pound on coffee;
and that no other alterations of the tariff be made during the present
session of Congress, unless further experience or changed circumstances shall demonstrate the necessity or expediency of them. All
considerations of prudence and patriotism seem to concur in favor of
giving to the existing tariff a full and fair trial, and of reserving the
York of revision, modification, and permanent settlement for more
propitious days.
It has been already remarked that the receipts of revenue from
duties, during the first two quarters of the current year, have not
equalled expectation. It is highly probable, ho weaver, that the
revenue of the two last will very considerably exceed that of the
two first quarters of the year. A considerable improvement in the
condition of trade and industry is clearly perceptible, and promises
to be permanent. An increase of the revenue from customs may
therefore be reasonably anticipated.
It is quite clear, however, that no anticipation of revenue from
imports, sufficient in amount for the various demands of ordinary and
extraordinary expenditure, can 'be wisely indulged, so long, at least,
as the existing contest shall be prolonged; nor is it probable, should
the debt created in the suppression of the rebellion reach very
large proportions, that the customs revenue will suffice for those
demands during the first years after the restoration of peace.
It becomes the duty of Congress, therefore, to direct its attention
to revenue from other sources, to consider the character and jgxtent
of the provision made at its last session, and the expediency of further
provision of a similar character.
The provision made at the last session was of two descriptions;
first, a direct tax of $20,000,000, of which $14,846,018 was apportioned
.to States and Territories acknowledging their obligations to the Union,
and $5,153,982 to States the citizens of which repudiate those obligations and are in open rebellion; and, secondly, an internal duty of
three .per centum on all annual incomes, with certain exceptions and
deductions.
As it is highly desirable to avoid, as long as practicable, introduction into the States of federal agencies for the assessment and collection of taxes, the Secretary, relying on assurances from governors of
various States that the amounts apportioned to them respectively
will be assumed, collected and paid, through existing State agencies,
has hitherto refrained from advising the appointment of the. officers
necessary for direct assessment and collection. He has been, the
more readily persuaded to this course because both the income and
the direct tax are required to be assessed with reference to valuations which can only be ascertained for the purposes of the income
tax, after the fir^t day of Januar}^, and .for the purposes of the direct
tax, after the first day of April next.
DIRECT AND INDIRECT TAXES ON PROPERTY.
15
The Secretary is acquainted with no statistics which aflbrd the
means of a satisfactory estimate of the amount likely to be realized
from the income tax. Considering, however, how large a proportion of incomes, after the deductions sanctioned by law, will fall within
the exemption limit of $800 a year; and considering also what numerous questions will certainly perplex its assessment and collection,
he respectfully submits to the consideration of Congress whether the
probable revenue affords a sufficient reason for putting in operation,
at great cost, the machinery of the act, with a view, should the States
assume the direct tax, to the collection of the income tax alone..
The prudent forecast which induced Congress to postpone to another
year the necessity of steps for the practical enforcement of the law,
affords, happil}^, the opportunity of revision and modification. It
affords, also, the opportunity of comparing the 'amount of needed
revenue with the probable income from taxes of every kind, and of
so shaping legislation as to secure, beyoi:id doubt, the sums essential
to the fulfilment of national obligations and the maintenance of the
national credit.
In the judgment of the Secretary, it will be necessary to increasethe direct tax so as to produce from the loyal States alone a revenue
of at least twenty millions of dollars, and to lay such duties on stills^
and distilled liquors, on tobacco, on bank notes, on carriages, on
legacies, on paper evidences of debt and instruments for conveyance
of property, and other like subjects of taxation, as will produce an
equal additional sum. The existing provision for an income tax, just
in its principle, inasmuch as it requires largest contributions from
largest means, may, possibly, and if somewhat modified will, probably, produce ten millions of dollars more. The aggregate taxation
will thus amount to fifty millions of dollars.
•
The Secretary is aware that the sum is large; but seeing, as hedoes, no probability that the revenue from ordinary sources will exceed
forty millions of dollars during the current year, ,and knowing, as h e
does, that to meet even economized disbursements, and pay the interest on the public debt, and provide a sinking fund for the gradual
reduction of its principal, the appropriation of ninety millions of dollars will be necessary, he feels that he must not shrink from a plain
statement of the'actual necessities of the situation. .
But if the sum is large the means of the people are also larger,
and the object to be attained by a consecration of a portion of them
to the public service is priceless. The real property of the loyal
States is valued, in round" numbers, at seven and a half thousands of
millions; the pergonal property at three and a half thousands of millions; and the annual surplus earnings of the loyal people at not less
than three hundred millions of dollars. Four mills on each dollar, or
two-fifths of one per cent on the real and personal property of t h e
loyal States, will produce forty-four millions of dollars; to which sum
the proposed income tax will probably add ten millions. The whole
sum will be little more than one-sixth of the surplus earnings of t h e
16

country.' Certainly such a tax cannot be paid without inconvenience;
doubtless the legislature which imposes such a tax must take care
that the money thus raised be used economically, prudently, and
honestly. But can any one hesitate about such or even greater
contributions when the Union and the popular institutions which it
guards are put in peril by rebellion, and the public faith pledged to
our own citizens, who, in many instances, have placed the whole
earnings of industrious lives in the hands of the government for its
suppression, asks support?
It will be seen at a glance that the amount to be derived from taxation forms but a small portion of the sums required for the expenses
of the war. For the rest, the reliance must be placed on loans.
Already, beyond,the expectations of the most sanguine, the country
has responded to the appeals of the Secretary. . The means adopted
for securing the concurrence of all classes of citizens in financialsupport to the government have been already explained.- It remains
only to be said here that, while the action of the banking institutions
in assuming the immediate responsibility of the whole advances hitherto required, as well as the final responsibility of much the largest
portion of them, merits high eulogium, the prompt patriotism with
which citizens of moderate means and working men and working
women have brought their individual offerings to the service of their
country, must command even warmer praise. It should be the constant care of the national legislature and of the national government
in all its departments tl/at the generous confidence reposed by the
poor, as well as by the rich, in the public faith, be never disappointed.
' It must not be concealed, however, that the condition of the national finances when the present Secretary entered upon the duties
of his office, though somewhat improved during the able and upright,
though brief, administration of his immediate predecessor, was such
as to make disadvantageous rates in the negotiation of loans inevi,table. It affords just occasion of gratulation that, under most embarrassing circumstances of shaken credit and immense demands,.
loans have been effected at home, without resort to any foreign
market, to the amount o.f one hundred and ninety-seven millions'^of
dollars, with a virtual engagement for fifty millions more, at an
average rate, considering the conversion of the three years 7.30
bonds into twent}^ years^ six per cent bonds as certain, of somewhat less
than six and a half per cent.
This rate of interest is, however, higher than the United States,
with their vast and constantly accumulating resources, ought to pay.
No doubt reasonably exists that after the re-establishment of union
and order, the five per cent bonds of the United States will command
a premium in the markets oP the world, unless the national debt be,
meantime, augmented beyond necessity or reason. The wealth and
power of the country, manifested in the suppressiqn of rebellion,
will demonstrate t h e absolute safety of investments in United. States
stocks; and foreign capitalists, restricted to the lower interests and

the inferior security of public debt in other countries, will be attracted b y t h e superior advantages offered by the loans of the Union.
To,enable the government to obtain the necessary means for prosecuting the war to a successful issue, without unnecessary cost, is a
problem which must engage the most careful attention of the legislature.
The Secretary has given to this problem the best consideration in I
his power, and now begs leave to submit to Congress the result of
his reflections.

The circulation of the banks of the United States, on the' 1st day
of January, 1861, was,computed to be $202,000,767. Of this circu-(
lation $150,000,000, in round numbers, was in States now loyal, in- i /
eluding West Virginia, and $50,000,000 in the rebellious States. /
The whole of this circulationtconstitutes a loan without interest fromf ;
.the people to the banks, costing them nothing except the expense of\i:
issue and redemption and the interest on the specie kept on Hand for } \
the latter purpose; and i t deserves consideration whether sound pol-C 1
icy does not require that the advantages of this loan be transferred, /
in part at least, from the banks, representing only the interests of the / stockholders, to the government, representing the aggregate interests ^ ^
of the whole people.
I t has been well questioned b y t h e most eminentstatesmen whetbe^a currency of bank notes, issued by local institutions under State*
laws, is; not, in fact, prohibited by the vuational Constitution. SMch;
emissions certainly fall within the spirit, if not within the letter, ofl
the constitutional prohibition of the emission of bills of credit by the^
States, and of the making by thenl of anything except gol# andi
silver coin a legal tender in payment of debts.
Howeyer this may be, it is too clear to be reasonably disputed! thati
Congress, under its. constitutional powers to lay taxes, to^ regulate
commerce, and to regulate the value of coin, possesses ample autliority to control the credit circulation which enters so largely into th§
transactions of commerce and affects in so many ways the valuer of
coin.
'
_
In the judgment of the Secretary the time has arrived wheujGongress should exercise this authority. The value of the existing bank
note circulation depends on the laws of thirty-four States and
the character of some."sixteen hundred private corporations. I t is
usually furnished in greatest proportions by institutions of least
actual capital. Circulation, commonly, is in the inverse ratio of solvency. Well-founded institutions,, of large and solid capital, have, in
general, comparatively little circulation ; while weak corporations
almost invariably seek to sustain themselves by obtaining from the
people the largest possible credit in this form. Under such a system,
or rather lack qf system, great fluctuations, and heavy losses in discounts and exchanges, are inevitable; and not unfrequently, through
failures of the issuing institutions, considerable portions of the circulation become suddenly worthless in the hands of t h e people.
The recent experience of several States in the valley of the MissisEx.DoCe2—2

\
sippi painfully illustrates the justice of these observations; and e n \
forces by the most cogent practical argunients the duty of protecting \
commerce a;nd industry against the recurrence of such disorders;
The,Secretary thinks it possible to combine with this protection a
provision for circulation, safe to the community and convenient for
the government. . '
/
• Two plans for effecting this object are suggested. The first contemplates the gradual withdrawal from circulation of the notes of
' private corporations^and for the issue, in their stead, of United States
notes, payable in coin oil demand, in amounts sufficient for the useful
ends of a representative currency. The second contemplates the
preparation and delivery, to institutions and associations, of notes prepared for circulation under national direction, and t o b e secured as.to .
prompt convertibility into coin b y t h e pledge of United States bonds
and Other needful regulations.
The first of these plans was partially adopted at the last session of
Congress in, the provision authorizing the Secretary to issue United
States notes, payable, in coin, to an amount not exceeding fifty mil- ,
lions of dollars. That provision may be so extended as to reach the
average circulation of the country, while a moderate tax, gradually '
augmented, on bank notes, will relieve the national from the competition of local circulation. It hais been already suggested that the
substitution of a national for a state currency, uponthis plan, would
be equivalent to .a loan to the government without interest, except
on the fund to be kept in coin, and without expense, except the cost
of preparatioti, issue, and redemption; while the people would gain the additional advantage of a uniform currency, and relief from a
considerable burden in the form of interest on debt. These advantages are, doubtless, considerable; and if a scheme can be devised
by which such a circulation will be certainly and strictly confined to
the real needs of the people, and kept constantly equivalent to specie ^ .
by prompt and certain redemption in coin, it will hardly fail of legislative sanction.
' ^
The plan, however, is not without serious inconveniences and hazards. The teinptation, especially great in times of pressure and danger,
to issue notes without adequate provision for redemption; the ever- ^
presentliability to be called on for redemption beyond means, however
carefully provided and managed; the hazard of panics, precipitating
demands for coin, concentrated on a few points and a single fund;
t h e risk of a &epreciated, depreciating, and finally worthless paper
money; the immeasurable evils of dishonored public faith and national
bankruptcy; all these are possible consequences of the adoption of a
system of government circulation. I t maybe said, and perhaps truly,
t h a t . t h e y are less deplorable than those of aii irredeemable bank
'Ci^rculation. Without entering into that comparison, the Secretary
-contents himself with observing that, in his judgment, these possible
disasters so far outweigh the probable benefits of the plan t h a t he
feels himself constrained to forbear recommending its adoption.
CIRCULATION BASED ON NATIONAL BONDS AND SPECIE.
19
The second plan suggested remains for examination. Its principal
features are, (1st) a circulation of notes bearing a common impression
and authenticated by a common authority;. (2d) the redemption of
'these notes by the associations and institutions to which they may be
delivered for issue; and (3d) the security of that redemption by the
• pledge of United States stocks, and an adequate provision of specie.'
In this plan the people, in their ordinary business, would find the
advantages of uniformity in currency; of uniformity in security; of
effectual safeguard, if effectual safeguard is possible, against depreciation; and of protection from losses in discounts and exchanges;
while in the operations of the government the people would find the
further advantage of a large demand for government securities,' of
increased facilities for obtaining the loahs required by the war, and
of some alleviation of the burdens on industry through a diminution
in the rate of interest, or a participation in the profit of circulation,
without risking the perils of a great money monopoly. *
A further and important advantage to the people may be reasonably expected in the increased security of the Union, springing from , ,
the common interest in its pres^ervation, created by the distribution of 'V^
its stocks to associations throughout the country, as the basis of their. /
circulation.
The Secretary entertains the opinion that if a credit circulation in
any form be desirable, it is most desirable in this. The notes thus
issued and secured would, in his judgment, form the safest currency
which this country has ever enjoyed; while their receivability for all
government dues, except customs,^ woul!d make them, wherever payable, of equal value, as a currency, in every part of the Union. The
large amount of specie now in the United States, reaching a total of
not less than two hundred and seventy-five millions of dollars, will
easily support payments of duties in coin, while these pa3mients and
. ordinary demands will.aid in retaining this specie in the country as a
solid basis both of circulation and loans.
The whole circulation of-the country, except.a limited amount of
foreign coin, would, after the lapse of two or three years, bear the
impress of the nation whether in coin or notes; while the amount
of the latter,. always easily ascertainable, and, of course, always
generally known, would not be likely to be increased beyond the real
wants of business.
He expresses an opinion in favor of this plan with the greater confi- *
dence,because it hasthe|idvantage of recommendation from experience.
It is not an untried theory. In the State of New York and in one or more
of the other States it^has been subjected, in its most essential parts,
to the test of experiment, andfhas been found practicable*and useful.
The probabilities of success will not be diminished but increased by
its adoption under national sanction and for the whole country.
It only remains to add that the plan is recommended by one other
consideration, which, in the judgment of the Secretary, is entitled to
much influence. It avoids almost, if not altogether, the evils of a
great and sudden change in the currency by offering inducements to
solvent existing institutions to withdraw the circulation issued under
20
RECEIPTS ANFD DISBURSEMENTS 1861 AND 1862.
State authority, and substitute that provided by the authority of
the Union. Thus, through the voluntary action of the existing institutions, aided by wise'legislation, the great transition from a currency
heterogeneous, unequal, and unsafe, to one uniform, equal, and safe,
. may be speedily and almost imperceptibly accomplished.
If the Secretary has omitted the discussion of the question of the
constitutional power of Congress to put this plan into operation, i t is
> because no argument is necessary to establish the proposition that
the power to regulate commerce and the value of coin includes the
power to regulate the currency of the country, or the collateral proposition that the power to effect the end includes the power to adopt
the necessary and expedient means.
The Secretary entertains the hope that the plan now submitted,
if adopted with the limitations and safeguards which the experience
and wisdom.of Senators and Representatives will, doubtless, suggest, may impart such value and stability to government securities
that it will not be difficult to obtain the additional loans required for
- ' ^ ^ the service of the current and the succeeding year at fair and reaI sonable rates; especially if the public credit be supported by sufficient and certain provision for the payment of interest and ultimate
redemption of the principal.
'
^
To obtain a clear understanding of the amount for which it will become necessary to resort to further loans, it is requisite to review
the financial movement of the treasury during the whole of the last,
and the first quarter of the current fiscal year, and compare, somewhat more closely than has already been done, the probable wants
and probable resources of the government for the remaining three
. quarters of the current, and the whole of the following year.
In the July report the Secretary submitted a detailed statement,
in part estimated, ^showing the receipts for the last fiscal year, ending on the 30th June, 1861, including the balance in the treasiiry at
its commencement, to have been $86,972,893 81; and the expenditures to have been $84,577,258 60; and the balance to have been
$2,355,635 21. Actual returns show that the receipts, including

It is to be observed, however, that in the amount estimated for
expenditures, $22,870,398 50 is estimated for public debt, payment
of a considerable part of which will not probably be demanded, and
that some expenses are'estimated for which maj^ be. retrenched; so
that the whole amount of loans required, in addition to the amount
already authorized, will certainly not exceed $200,000,000.
• For the fiscal year 1863, commencing on the 1st July, 1862, and
ending on the SOth June, 1863, no reliable estimates can be made.
It is earnestly to be hoped, and, in the judgment of the Secretary,
not without sufficient grounds, that the present war may be.brought
to an auspicious termination before midsummer. In that event, the
.provision of revenue by taxation, which he has recommended, will
amply sufSce for all financial exigencies, without resort to additional
loans; and not only so, but will enable the government to begin at
once the reduction of the existing debt.

The particulars of which-the debt consists, and the portions which
have been or will be paid or contracted in each year, will appear
fully in a table, which will be submitted with this Report to Congress.
Another table will be submitted, showing the amount of the public
debt in,each year, from 1791 to 1861, inclusive. The Secretary, believing that the frankest is the wisest policy for
nations as well as individuals, has thought it his duty to submit to
Congress this plain statement of the financial condition of the country. That it imposes considerable burdens is not to be denied or
disguised. It is consoling to know that the energies and resources
of the people are not insufficient for them. The public debt on the
1st of July, 1863, if the war be protracted until that time, on the
scale of expenses contemplated by the estimates, will be, in round
numbers, nine hundred millions of dollars. The amount of the public
debt in the year 1816 was $127,334,933 74, a;nd in twenty years it
was paid off by the people. The country, even if the loyal States
only are regarded, can sustain and pay off in thirty years the debt
to which rebellion now exposes us with hardly greater proportional
contributions from increased and increasing resources than that debt
made necessary.
It will be for the wisdom of Congress, to determine how. far the
annual and the aggregate burdens of the people shall be diminished
by retrenchment, by economy, by prudent yet vigorous adjustment of
means to ends, and by just contributions from rebel property. No-.
thing more certainly enhances credit and improves resources than the
reduction of wants and wise energy in administration.
The Secretary forbears making any recommendation concerning
the authorities with which it may be expedient to invest him in respect to future loans. He begs leave to refer this matter altogether
to the better judgment of Congress, suggesting only that, whatever
discretion it may be thought prudent to give him in "other respects,
the rate of interest be limited by law.
Turning now from the more immediate consideration of the public
finances, the Secretary solicits the attention of Congress to soma other
topics connected with the administration of the Treasury Department.
. By the act of Congress of July 13, 1861, commercial intercourse,
with States declared to be in insurrection by the President, was pro
24
TRADE WITH STATES IN INSURRECTION—REFORMS.
hibited,. and the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized to estab'
lish such rules and regulations as he might deem expedient, in accordance with which, under license from the President, a restricted trade
might be conducted. Upon full consideration of the whole subject,
it has not been deemed advisable as yet to establish any general rules
and regulations for such a trade. In a few instances, special licenses
have beeii granted to convey particular articles of property into insurrectionary States, and to carry on a limited trade with parts of
eastern Virginia inhabited by loyal people; but, with these inconsiderable exceptions, it has been hitherto thought best to enforce the prohibition to the full extent of the act. As the act itself, however, does not
seem to contemplate the forfeiture of property, unless used for the
purposes of the rebellion, or found in transit to or from insurrectionary States, its execution has not been extended beyond that intent.
To avoid, as far as possible, the practical inconveniences of this
suspension of commerce, the Secretary, with the approbation of the
President, has established regulations, in accordance with which
cotton, rice, and other property will be collected and cared for by
agents of the department in insurrectionary districts occupied by
troops of the Union, and will be forwarded by sea fo New York.
All sales will be made for account of the government, and the proceeds paid into the national treasury, subject to any just claims of
loyal citizens. This arrangement is, of course, temporary in its
nature. As a general rule, in the judgment of the Secretary, commerce should follow the fiag; and whenever the authority of the Union
is fully restored in districts sufficiently extensive for the re-establishment of loyal State government, affording due security against abuses
of trade in furnishing aid and comfort to rebellion, the ports should
be opened, without restriction, and all commerce freely permitted.
,
With a view to reformation of ab\ises and reduction of expenses,
the Secretary has caused most of the collection districts in all the
States and Territories not under insurrectionary control to be visited
by an officer of his department. Their inquiries have led to the
abolition of some offices, and a reduction of the allowance and compensation to the incumbents of others, amounting to $75,095 annually.
This sum, with the temporary reduction of annual expenses, occasioned by the suspension of official duties in the rebellious; States,
amounting to $644,141 68, will more than suffice for all the expenses
arising under the act of July for the additional agents, inspectors,,
and aids, required for its due execution and the prevention of illegal
traffic.
^
In this connexion the Secretary asks permission to direct the attention of Congress to the fact that surveyors of ports at several points in
tbe Mississippi valley are almost exclusively occupied by their duties
under the act of July, and are subjected in consequence to'labors
and responsibilities for which the compensation now allowed by law'
is not an equivalent. It is, therefore, suggested that the Secretary
be authorized to make some additional allowances, to be paid from
the appropriation already made for such services
The Secretary, also recommends that a division be provided for

ef ^forfeitures, fines, and penalties, under this act, between the
officers, the informer, and the governnient, corresponding to that
now allowed by the revenue laws in other cases, and in order
to protect the interests both of citizens and of the government,
he further suggests that in all cases of fines, forfeitures, and penalties, under whatever law, when the amount in controversy does not
exceed one thousand dollars, the Secretary be authorized to prescribe whatever mode^'may seem most convenient and certain for ascertaining the facts involved, and to direct such settlement of the
matter in controversy by remitter or otherwise, as he may deem
just.
The interests of the government will also be promoted, in the
judgment of the Secretary, by the appointment of a solicitor of customs, to reside in the city of New York, who shall conduct all suits
and prosecutions, and collect all penalties, fines, forfeitures, and dues
to the government, under the revenue laws, within the collection
district of New York, and advise the collector in respect to all legal
questions connected with the customs which may be referred to him
by that officer.
The operations of the Mint during the last year were large beyond
precedent. The net amount of bullion received was $72,146,571 0 1 ;
the amount coined was: of gold coins, $60,693,237 ; of silver, coins,
$2,605,ft)0; of cent coins, $101,660; of gold bars, $20,015,163 6 4 ;
and of silver bars, $278,006 94 ; making the total coinage of the year
$83,693,767 58. Of the bullion deposited $54,149,865 32 were re. ceived at the assay office in New York; of the gold bars $19,948,728 88,
and of the silver bars $187,078 63, in value, were stamped at the
same office. Of $799,923,362 14, the entire coinage since the establishment of the mint, $520,000,000 have been coined from bullion
derived froin mines of the United States.
g
• Of the gold deposited during the last year $34,216,8^9 52, and of
the silver $610,011 29, were from the minq^ of the United States ;
the remainder formed part of the unusually large receipts during the
year from foreign countries.
The large and rapidly increasing production of gold in j:he Territory
cxf C'olorado suggests inquiry into the expediency of establishing an
assay office or a branch mint at Denver. A private mint for the-convenience of the people is now in operation at that place ; and obvious
considerations seem to require the substitution of national for private
agencies in coinage.
The silver mines of Nevada and Arizona have also yielded large
returns ; and the protection of the citizens, engaged in extracting
their treasures, frona insurrectionary and savage violence demands the
cai'nest consideration of Congress.
No means exist of ascertaining, with absolute certainty, the.quantity of coin now in the United States ; but the best accessible data
lead the Secretary to concur in the judgment of the Director of the
Mint, that the amount is between two hundred and seventy-five millions and three hundred millions of dollars.

Secretary takes great pleasure in directing the attention of
26
^
CLAIMS OF STATES—OREGON WAR DEBT.
Congress to the able and instructive report of that officer, and to the
suggestions it contains.
Under the act of July 27, 1861, large claims have been presented,
by the authorized agents of the governors of several States,, for expenses incurred on account of troops raised by them respectively,
and employed for the suppression of the insurrection; but as the act
authorizing the settlement of these claims required proper vouchers
in support of them to be filed and passed u]5on by the accounting
officers, and as no such vouchers have, as yet, been furnished, it has
been hitherto impracticable to adjust and pay them.' Inasmuch, however, as these expenditures were incurred at a time when Congress^
was not in session, and when the public exigency was imperative,
-and were marked, so far ^s the statements submitted to him disclosed
their character, by discretion and patriotism, the Secretaiy thought
himself warranted in advancing to the several States, upon certificates
of the State officers to the general correctness of the accounts and
on condition that no further claim should be made on account of the
expenses contemplated by the act until after final settlement upon
vouchers, the sum of forty per centum of their respective demands;
and he has accordingl}^ paid'^to the States of Illinois, Indiana, loAva,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin the aggregate sum of
$4,514,078 51.
•
,
As the law did not seem to contemplate the continued action of
State officers for federal objects, but confined the appropriation
made by it to expenses incurred, leaving expenses to be incurred to
the action of federal officers within their respective spheres of duty,
the Secretary has not thought himself authorized to settle in the
unusual .mode provided by the act, except for advances actually
made, or at least contracted for prior to its passage. All other
claims are, and will be, referred to the War Department for sanction
and requisition, unless Congress shall be pleased to direct otherwise.
An act of the last Congress authorized the payment of claims, allowed for certain services and expenses in Oregon and Washington,
to be made by the issue of bonds of United States, bearing six per
cent, interest, and payable twenty years after date. The Secretary
most respectfully asks the attention of Congress to the injurious influences of authorizing such issues for such purposes. , Claims are
easily allowed when payment is to be made otherwise than in money,
and bonds issued for claims are apt to come into the market in competition with bonds issued for loans, to the serious prejudice of the
public credit. That no important injury has resulted from the act
just referred to is to be attributed to the faithful vigilance of tli;e
Third Auditor in the examination of the claims made upon the
treasury, and the comparatively small amount of bonds, not exceeding, probably, two millions eight hundred thousand dollars., in all,
issued or to be issued in payment of them. /
The attention of Congress is respectfully directed to the observaAuditor in respect to the abuses which have been

tolerated in the consular system, and the expediency of authorizing
the appointment of a consul general for the coast and islands of the
Pacific.
In disregard,of repeated warnings of impending dangej in December last, the Secretary of the Treasury, in office at the time, neglected
to take the necessary measures to secure the vessels and other movable property connected with the light-house establishments. This
property, therefore, became the easy prey of insurrectionary violence. Acts of rapine and plunder followed each other in quick succession as the rebellion spread,, until the -lights of commerce were
extinguished along the whole coast,—except at Key West and some
neighboring points protected by the power of the Union,—from the
capes of the Chesapeake round to the western limits of Texas. In
other parts of the country the light-house system has been extended
and improved, until it is surpassed in aids and benefits to navigation
and commerce by that of no other country. Under the direction of the
Secretary also, as the rebellion has, been suppressed in district after
district, the lights have been rekindled. Already from the coasts of
the Chesapeake, from the banks of Hatteras, from the islands of Port
<Royal entrance, and from Chandeleur island in the G-ulf, they shine
once more as the safeguards and' symbols of fraternal commerce and
peaceful civilization. May we not hope that the time is not far off
when every extinguished light shall be in like manner restored amid
^ the rejoicings of a reunited people ?
The Secretary respectfully invites legislative attention to the condition of the marine hospitals constructed or in process of construction. The number has been increased far beyond necessity or utility,
and to the serious.prejudice of the fund for sick and disabled seamen,
derived from the hard earnings of the meritorious class to which they
belong. At present, indeed, some of these hospitals are made available for the benefit of the troops, but this use must necessarily be
partial and temporary. Of these, therefore, as well as those not
thus used, the Secretary recommends that those least advantageously
situated and employed be disposed of on the most favorable terms,
and that no new structures be undertaken except in cases of the
clearest expediency or necessity.
The great value of the coast survey has been strikingly attested
by recent events. The knowledge gained by its operations during
past years, the experience and skill of naval and military officers
acquired in its service, and now available in the op orations^ of the
army and navy, and the ready aid now afforded by it, in examinations and surveys of harbors and inlets, to the forces of the Union
in their movements upon the coast, demonstrate, beyond question, the
wisdom of the policy which originated and* has sustained it. The
diminished appropriation required for its support during the fiscal
year 1863 will no doubt be cheerfully made.
The number of vessels in the revenue service of the departnient
was twenty-nine. Five had been pre-
on.the
4th of March, 1861,

viousl}; seized by the insurgents, and one had been ordered to Norfolk for repairs, where, having been taken to pieces with'a view to
rebuilding, and therefore incapable of removal, she was involved in
the disasters attendant on the destruction of the navy yard.
Of the vessels connected with the revenue service not seized by
the rebels, four were . on the Pacific coast, six on the lakes, and
eighteen on the Atlantic coast. Of those on the lakes five have
be^n ordered to service on the Atlantic coast. Nearly half of these
vessels are unfit for the purposes of the revenue, and will be sold
under the provisions of the act of July 25.
Under the same act three steamers have been purchased and
equipped, and have been of essential service in the suppression of
unlawful commerce on the Chesapeake, and in aid of the expedition
by which the authority of the Union was recently, restored on the
eastern shore of Virginia. ,
^
.'
With a view to the increased efficiency of the service, the Secretary directed a thorough examination to be made by a competent
board of officers, of all candidates for appointment, as well as of all
officers, except captains, already in the service, and has made a certificate from that board of entire competency an indispensable condition of appointment.
Four revenue cutters are now engaged in Coast Survey duty,
in connexion with the naval and military expeditions on the coasts of,
the insurgent States; and the whole of the . remaining number a r e |
actively engaged in the enforcement of the revenue laws, and in the
protection of commerce.
Under advertisements for proposals for the construction of additional revenue steamers, under the act of July, a large number of
bids and models have been received, and contracts will be made for
five, which, when completed, will fully answer the existing demands
of the service.
The Secretary desires to avail himself of this opportunity to invite
the attention of Congress to the importance of a uniform system and
a uniform nomenclature of weights and measures and coins to the
commerce of the world, in which the United States already so largely
shares. The wisest of our statesmen have regarded the attainment
of this end, so desirable in itself, as by no means impossible. The
combination of the decimal system with appropriate denominations
in a scheme of weights, measures, and coins for the international
uses of commerce, leaving, if need be, the separate systems of nations
untouched, is certainly not beyond the reach of the daring genius
and patient endeavor which gave the steam engine and the telegraph
to the service of mankind. The Secretary respectfully suggests the
expediency of ^a small appropriation to be used in promoting interchange of opinions between intelligent persons of our own and foreign
countries on this subject.
In closing this report, the Secretary takes pleasure in asking the
consideration of Congress for the various suggestions of the heads of
the bureaus of the department, contained in their several reports,
REPORTS OF BUREAUS.

which are herewith transmitted. It has been his endeavor, since
assuniing the charge of the department, to infuse into its action the
greatest possible activity and vigor; and it is a source of very great
satisfaction to him that his efforts have been, in general, faithfully
and zealously supported b y t h e gentlemen with whom he has been
associated. The reports from the several bureaus will show how much
has been accomplished during the year, and how well. The Secretary
indulges the^ hope that continued endeavor, with larger experience,
will make the department, in all its working, what a department
charged with duties and responsibilities so | various and important
ought to be.

M I N T OF THE^UNITED STATES,
Philadelphia, October 10, 1861.
SIR : I have tlie honor to submit the following report of the operations of the
mint and its branches for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18G1.
The amount of bullion received and coined at the mint and branches during
that period has largely exceeded that of any former year. In addition to the
gold and silver received from the mines of the United States, the importation of
foreign Coin and bullion has been unprecedentedly large.
The ainount of bullion received at the mint and its branches during the year
was-as follows: Gold, $116,970,002 ^^\ silver, $4,624,961 57; total deposits,
$121,594,964 23. From this total must be deducted the re-deposits of bullion
or bars made at one institution and deposited at another for coinage. This deduction being made, the amount will be $72,146,571 01.
The coinage for the same period was as follows: Gold coins, $60,693,237;
fine gold bars, $20,015,163 64; silver coins, $2,605,700; silver bars, $278,006 94;
cent coins, $101,660; total coinage, $83,693,767 58; number of pieces of all
denominations of coin, 23,724,913.
The distribution of the bullion received and coined at' the mint and branches
• was as follows: At Philadelphia, gold deposits, $51,890,763 b^\ gold coined,
$47,896,711; fine gold bars, $66,434 76; silver deposits and purchases,
$1,726,309 07; silver coined, $1,598,700;' silver bars, $2,624 37; cents coined,
$101,660; total deposits of gold and silver, $53,617,072 63; total coinage,
$49,666,130 13; number of pieces 21,315,255. •
At the branch mint at San Francisco, the gold deposits were $12,258,981 84;
gold coined, $12,421,000; silver deposits and purchases, $197,844 08; silver
coined, $198,000; silver bars, $71,485 71; total coinage of gold and silver,
$12,690,485 6 1 ; number of pieces 1,144,300.
The assay ofHce in New York received during the year $52,358,095 14 in
gold bullion, and $1,791,770.18 in silver. Fine gold bars stamped at that office,

gold and silver bullion received, $54,149,865 32.
At the branch mint at New Orleans, the amount of deposits received up to the
31st day of January, A. D. 1861, was $1,243,449 0 1 ; of which the sum of
$334,410 77 was in gold, and $909,038 24 in silver; coined during the same
period, $244,000 in gold, and $809,000 in silver; silver bars "stamped, value,
$16,818 33; total coinage, $1,069,818 33; number of pieces, 1,237,800. Since
the 31st day of January, A. D. 1861, no rejDort has been received from this branch.
At the branch mint at Dahlonega, the deposits received, UJD to the 28th day of
February, A. D. 1861,-were $6,2,193 05; the coinage, $60,946; and the number
of pieces, 13,442. No report has been received from this branch since the day.
last named.
The deposits at the branch mint at Charlotte, up to the 31st day of March,
A. D. 1861, were %^^,bb'$> 30; coinage, $70,580; and number of jneces 14,116.
The deposits at this branch and Dahlonega are exclusively of gold. No report
has been received from this institution since the day last named.
Notwithstanding the defection of the branches at Nejv Orleans, Dahlonega,
and Charlotte, by reason of the disloyalty and treachery of the States in which
they are respectively located, the coinage of the past is greater than that of any
former year since the organization of the government. Whether the coinage at ^
these branches continues to conform to the laws and standard of the United States
mint cannot noAv be ascertained. Efforts have been made to procure specimens
of the gold and silver coins of the branch at New Orleans, since its defection, for
the purpose of determining whether any adulteration or reduction in value of the
60
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
issues of that branch had been attempted; but thus far no such specimens could
be obtained. The treason that can refuse to recognize the lawful authority of a
just government, would.]^t hesitate to adulterate the coin made in an institution
wrested from that government by lawless violence; nor would it blush to conceal
the wrong under the emblems and devices of an honored national coinage.
A large amount of the gold deposited at the mint and its branches was the
product of the mines of the United States. The sum of $34,216,889 52 in gold,
and $610,011 29 in silver, was received from this source. Much of the domestic
silver received was obtained by parting or separating it from the gold deposits
in which it was found. The mines of the Washoe region continue to yield an
increasing quantity; and the gold mines of Kansas amply repay the miner for
his toil. The places whence the deposits of gold and silver were obtained, and
the amount from each locality, are fully stated in the tabular statements attached
to this report.
The domestic supply of silver not only continues, but new and valuable mines
have been discovered and opened which promise a rich yield. These mines are
situated in the Territory of Arizona, near the town of Tubac, in latitude 31^ 22'
N., longitude 110° 57' W. They are about one hundred and sixty miles from
the Gulf of California, and only a few miles from the proposed line of the Southern
Pacific railroad. Many of the mines yield silver and lead; and others silver,
lead, and copper. Judging of the ore and its product in silver, as exhibited at
the mint, this region will soon rival, in the extent and value of its mineral
productions, the rich mines of Mexico, or the other silver-producing sections
of our own country. Arizona is too new a country, and its mines have been
too little worked, to furnish all the data necessary to the formation of such
rules as will determine the nature of any vein at a considerable depth. The
different '' lodes,''^ however, present a remarkable uniformity of character, have
nearly all the same direction, and possess generally the same combination of
minerals. Many of them have been prospected by small shafts, but many more,
equally good in appearance, remain unexamined. The efficient protection of the
government against Indian and Mexican depredations will be necessary to secure
the full development of the mineral wealth of that interesting portion of our
country.
The new cents still continue to be issued in exchange for the old copper cents.
These are, however, rapidly disappearing from circulation, and will soon be
entirely superseded by the nickel cent. The profits of the cent coinage have
heretofore been fully adequate to meet all the expenses of their production and
transmission to the different parts of the country.
The coinage of the past year consisted principally of double eagles. This
was in consequence of the unusually large amount of gold deposits, the demand
by depositors for that denomination of coin, and to prevent the delay inseparably
incident to the conversion of the bullion received into .the smaller denominations.
The gold dollar requires the same time and number of manipulations in the
process of coining as the double eagle; consequently, whilst the mint can coin
$20,000,000 in value of double eagles, it can coin only one million in gold dollars.
The same ratio obtains in the other fractional parts of the gold coin. Hence
the delay when the deposits of bullion are large and the returns are to be made
in the smaller coins. If any system could be devised or rule established by
which the necessity of adjusting each individual gold coin of the lesser denomination could be obviated, the delay in making returns to depositors would" not
occur, and the production of small gold coin be facilitated to an almost indefinite
extent. An increase in the deviation from the standard weight of the quarter
eagle and gold dollar would, with proper caution, the perfection of the mint machinery, and the skill of the Avorkmen, render the adjustment of each piece, as '
noAv practiced, unnecessary. By the act of Congress of March 3, 1849, the
deviation from the standard weight allowed for the quarter eagle and gold dollar
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
61
is one-fourth of a grain in a single piece;' and in one thousand quarter eagles
one pennyweight; and in one thousand gold dollars one half pennyweight.
The deviation allowed fpr the half eagle by the same act, in a single piece, is one
half grain, and in one thousand pieces one and a half pennyweight.
Now, it is believed that if the deviation alloAved for the half eagle was extended
by law to the quarter eagle and gold dollar, these coins could be produced rapidly
and accurately within that limit, and thus the present tedious mode of adjustment and consequent delay be avoided. The experience of the past in
silver coinage proves the practicability of these suggestions. The loss, however, in any event would be more than compensated by the increased production of the smaller coins, and the decrease of expenditures consequent on a
reduction of the force necessarily employed in the adjusting department of the
mint.
If authoiity could be given by law to the director of the mint, under the
direction of the Secretary of the Treasury, to test by experiment the practicability of these suggestions, this question would soon receive a speedy, and, it is
not doubted, a favorable solution. The subject is worthy of consideration.
The capacity of. the mint for coinage is fully equal to the wants of the government and people; and with a sufficient bullion fund no delay in making
returns to depositors would be experienced. Neither the mint nor its officers
should be made answerable for delay arising from the want of this fund, particularly when the necessities of the government require it to be withdrawn. In
su9h case patriotism will excuse delay, and capital must yield to governmental
necessity.
With a full force and working the regular hours, the capacity of the ri^int, in
double eagles exclusively, is equal to an annual coinage of

Coining an equal number qf pieces of all denominations of gold coin, its
capacity w^ould be equal to $51,875,000. This is exclusive of silver coinage.
Its capacity for silver coinage of all denominations, in addition, to the gold
coinage, as represented, is equal to $15,000,000 annually; rdaking the capacity
of the mint in gold and silver, with an equal number of pieces of all 'denominations, $66,875,000; an amount much beyond the coinage of any year since the
establishment of the mint. This calculation of capacity relates to the mint at
Philadelphia, and is exclusive of the branches. By changing the proportion of
pieces, and coining more of the larger denomination, the annual production
would be greatly enlarged, and by employing a double force and working double
time, the coinage before stated could be doubled without additional machinery
or impairing the efficiency of that now in use. The capacity of the mint 'anil
its branches is therefore clearly equal to any demand that may be made upon,
them for coinage, and this, too, without any delay, if the condition of the national treasury wdll permit the use of a sufficient bullion fund—a fund authorized
by law, and out of which depositors were promptly paid the ascertained value
of their deposits—the treasury being reimbursed by the coin produced from the
bullion deposited.
The coinage of the mint and its branches, from their respective organizations
to June 30, 1861, has been as follows :

Of this coinage about $520,000,000 was from bullion derived from the mines
of the United States.
' The amount of coinage executed is very large for a government that is not
yet a century old, and is an evidence not only of the great mineral wealth of
the country, but the wonderful activity and extent of our commercial enterprise.
It would-be interesting to know what portion of this coinage still remains in
the country. We have no means, however, of determining this point with
accuracy. It can only be arrived at by estimation. From the most reliable
data attainable, I estimate the ainount of specie in the United States, at the^
date of this report, October, 1861, at from tAvo hundred and seventy-five to
three hundred million of dollars. Of this amount all but about twenty millioiis,
it is safe to assume, is held Avithin the loyal States of the Union. The recent
estimates of the amount of coin in the country haA^e been too high. Due alloAvance does not appear to have been made for the large exportation of specie,
which, commencing in the year 1855, continued AAdth but little interruption until
the latter part of the year 1860. During this period the expofts of specie
exceeded the imports and bullion derived from domestic sources nearly one
hundred millions of dollars. This heavy drain bn our specie ceased in October
of the year last named, and soon thereafter the floAv of specie to the United
States commenced and continued until a few Aveeks since. The bullion and
coin imported during this period, together with the bullion derived from domestic sources, has added about ninety millions to our stock of coin. The importance, in a financial point of vioAv, of this large- addition to our specie during a
peidod characterized by the most extraordinary interruptions to trade and commerce ever Avitnessed in this country, cannot well be overestimated.
In pursuance of instructions receiA^ed from the Treasury Department, and as
required by the act of Congress of February 22, 1857, an assay of all the foreign gold and silver coins heretofore knoAvn and received at the mint Avas
directed to be made to determine their average Aveight, fineness, and value—the
gold dollar of the United States being the standard. The result of the assay,
and the determination of value, are gwen in table — of the appendix to this
report. A comparison of the present Avith former assays of many of the same
or similar coins exhibits but little change in value—the standard value and the
•character and denomination of the coins of most foreign nations being unaltered.
The tables heretofore annexed to the annual report of the director, and the
present table, Avere constructed upon the basis, not of the alleged standards, but
of our OAvn assay, and of the actual weight of foreign coin at the mint, Avhich
often shoAvs a material loss by wear and a Avant of exact conformity in fineness
to the alleged standards. The average weight, fineness, and value of foreign
coins received since the last report will be found in the table to Avhich Ave have
refeiTed.
The gold dollar of the United States, conforming in standard value and decimal character to all the gold and silver coinage of the country, except the silver
dollar, has been properly selected, and should be retained, as the standard of
value for all foreign coins used or employed in commercial or governmental
: transactions Avith other nations. The silver dollar of the United xStates, differing as it does in commercial and decimal value from the other silver coins of our
country, cannot, Avithout disturbing our decinial system and producing confusion in the relative value of our gold and sUver coinage, be used as a standard.
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
63
The legal weight of the silver dollar is 412^^^"^ grains; of tAvo half dollars, or
other component fractions of the dollar, 384 grains—a difference of 25-J^^^Q- grains.
The silver dollar, as> it now is, has actually three values: 1. It is, by law, a
dollar simply, or 100 units or cents. 2. By the mint price of silver it is 103y^^
cents, Avhich is its true commercial value as compared Avith gold. 3. It has an
interior or mint value, w^hich is determined by its relation to the silver contained
in the half dollar, which makes it 107-|J- cents; for Avhich reason single pieces
are paid out at the mint at the even price of 108 cents.
As the dollar, which is the unit of our money, is represented in gold coin, it
would seem desirable not to have another dollaj' in another metal; but if this is
inadmissible, and the silver dollar should be retained, then it should be reduced
to eight-tenths of an ounce to be in true relation to our other silver coins.
TAVO reasons seem to have influenced Congress in retaining the sih^er dollar
at its present anomalous terms: First, that it preserves the old dollar, known
from the beginning of our coinage, and often exactly stipulated for in deeds of
rent-charge, mortgages, and other moneyed securities. ^To this it may be successfully replied that such payments are now ahvays made in gold, because it is
the legal and usual tender for all sums exceeding five dollars, andbecause silver
dollars are no longer to be had, or are very rare.
In the second place, it Avas supposed to be needed for our China and^ East
India trade; but our.consular.advices are to the effect that our silver dollars are
very reluctantly taken at the ports, and not at all in the interior of China. They
are believed by the Chinese to be of less valu(^ than they really are.
The reasons for its retention having ceased, either Ave should cease to coin the
silver dollar, or it should be made to conform in weight and value to our lesser
silver coins.
The reduction of the standard value of all American coins, except the sih^er
dollar, Avas made to check the export of specie from the United States; but the
commercial character of specie, and the facility Avith which the coins of one
nation can be converted "into the peculiar and distinctive denominations of another, have prevented the realization of that expectation. The relatiA^e and
commercial value of the peculiar coinage of any country must and will' be determined by the standard of the nation to which it may be sent, and the laws
of trade also will control values despite all legislative enactments. Legislation, Avhilst it properly may regulate the currency and control the coinage of a
nation, cannot control its value as a medium of exchange or as an article of commerce AAdth other nations. I Avould, in this connexion, respectfully suggest that
the limit of legal tender for silver should be increased. It is iiOAvfiA^Sdollars;
it should not be so IOAV. This limitation unnecessarily discredits the currency,
and is productive of much inconvenience to individuals and banking institutions.
The limit might Avith great propriety and advantage to public and private interests be extended to fifty or one hundred dollars.
NATIONAL MEDALS.
The national and other American medals of historic interest, noAv in progress
of preparation at the mint, will be ready for sale and delivery about the 20th of
October. ^The medals have been prepared, Avith great care and skill, from the
original dies in the mint, and are exacty^c similes of the original medals. The
medals are of copper, bronzed, and Avill be furnished at prices that AAdll enable
all Avho feel an interest in numismatics to obtain them. The medal department
of the mint has assumed the position and. importance in this institution to Avhich,
by every consideration of a just national pride, it is fully entitled. Medals in
the highest style of art can be furnished A\dth great facility, and those soon to
be issued are highly creditable to the artists and Avorkmen by Avhom they liaA^^e

EEPORT ON THE FINANCES.
t
A statement offoreign. goU and silver coins, prepared by the director of the mAnt
to accoTnpaiiy his annual report, in pursuance of the act of February 21,1857.
EXPLANATORY REMARKS.
The first column embraces the ^names of the countries where the coins are
issued; the second contains the names of coins, only the principal denominations being, given; the other sizes are proportional, and when this is not the
case the deviation is stated.
The third column expresses the weight of a single piece in fractions of the
Troy ounce, carried to the thousandth of an ounce. This method is preferable
to expressing the weight in grains, for commercial purposes, and corresponds
better with the terms of the mint. It may be readily transferred to weight in
grains by the following rule: Remove the decimal point; from one-half deduct
four per cent., and the remainder will be grains.
The fourtli column expresses the fineness ia thousandths; i. e., the number of
parts of pure gold or silver in one thousand parts of the coin.
The fifth and sixth columns of the first table express the valuation of gold.
In the fifth is shown the value as compared witlrthe legal content, or amount of
fine gold in our coin. In the sixth is shown the value as paid at the mint, after
the uniform deduction of one-half of one per cent. The former is the value fi)r
any other purposes than recoinage, and especially for the purpose of comparison; the latter is the value in exchange for our coins at the mint.
^.
For the silver there is no fixed legal valuation, the laAV providing for shifting
the price according to the condition of demand and supply. The present price
of standard silver is 121 cents per ounce,, at which rate the value in the fifth
column of the second table are calcuhated. In a few cases, where the coins
could not be procured, the data are assumed from'the legal rates, and so stated.

Bureau of Construction, September 30, 1861.
S I R : I have the honor to submit the following report upon the various public
buildings constructed and constructing'under this bureau, showing in detail the
operations for the year ending September 30, 1861, with a tabulated statement
of the number of buildings, their location, the purposes for which they were
erected, their cost, and present condition. .
On the 30th of September, 1860, the aggregate balance of appropriation not
withdrawn from the treasury, with .the.balances .then in.the hands of disbursing
agents, was $2,270,631 32.
The last Congress appropriated, in addition to this amount, the sum of
$350,448 79 ; making, with disbursing agents' halances, an available aggregate
of $2,657,240 '89.
The appropriations - of the last Congress were for the continuance or completion of works already in progress—no appropriation having been made for any
new work.
Of the above aggregate amount $851^458 25 is for works authorized by
Congress at its former sessions, but not yet commenced. These works were:
Custom-houses at Ogdensburg, New York; Perth Amboy, New Jersey;. Knoxville, Tennessee; Nashville, Tennessee; and Cairo, Illinois; with one earlier
authorized at Astoria, Oregon; and court-houses ajid post offices at Boston,
Massachusetts; Columbia, South Carolina; Raleigh, North Carolina; Key West, ^
Florida; Memphis, Tennessee; Springfield, Illinois; Madison, Wisconsin; and
at Philadelphia.
The appropriations for many of these works were insufficient for the purposes
contemplated, and will not complete suitable structures, while many of them
were without any appropriation for sites, and all were without the customary
ten per centum for contingent expenses. These omissions it will be necessary
for Congress to supply before the works can be properly undertaken, unless
their size is largely reduced from that which the proposed accommodations
require.
At the period when you entered upon the discharge of the duties of the Secretary" of the Treasury I was under instructions from your 'predecessor to confine the disbursements of this bureau within the narrowest limits compatible
with existing contracts and a proper economy, and not to commence the construction of any of the new works authorized by Congress. No change having
been made in these instructions by you, I have continued to be governed by
them, and the expenditures of th6 past year have thus been only $850,138 65—
being nearly $50,000 less than the preceding year, and more than one million of
dollars less than the year preceding. A portion of the disbursements of the
present year have been upon the construction of the defences of the capital,
under your orders, which is to be hereafter reimbursed to this bureau from the
proper appropriations by the War Department.
The work upon the public buildings located in States whose citizens are in
insurrection against the United States was entirely stopped when the States^
became disloyal, and deliveries of materials under contracts for such works forbidden. The contractors have stopped all operations under their contracts, at
an alleged pecuniary sacrifice, which may hereafter be made a subject for your
consideration.

The only works completed during the past year have been the post office and
court-house at Indianapolis, and the custom-houses at Galveston, Texas, and
Detroit, Michigan. That at Galveston was completed prior to the breaking out
of the rebellion.
No new sites fbr public buildings have been purchased during the past year.
The total number of buildings, and the uses for which they were designed,
or for which unexpended balances remain of former appropriations, is as follows:

The results of the experiments instituted under this bureau upon the various
samples of iron and iron ores were fully detailed in my last annual report, as far
as they had progressed. At that time any further action in reference to them
was suspended under your predecessor's orders. I now respectfully call your
attention to the importance of continuing these experiments, not only that the
time and labor already bestowed upon them may not be wasted or made comparatively valueless! but .that the best kinds, qualities, and deposits of this important staple may be elicited for the public service. The value of the object
sought to be obtained by these experiments, (viz: the combination in the ore
and the treatment of the metal which best resists oxidation,) can scarcely be
overestimated, as a successful solution of the problem will not only largely
enhance the value of the material, making it available in many cases where now
only copper can be used, and largely increasing its durability for every p.urpose,
but-will doubtless greatly stimulate its production in localities which are now
. but i feebly worked. I earnestly recommend the matter to your favorable consideration, and respectfully request that the experiments may be continued, for
which there is an adequate existing appropriation.
The continued experience of this office has tended more strongly to confirm the
reports hitherto made upon the present method of appropriating a portion of the
government revenue for public buildings, and. reference is now made to former
reports and their correctness respectfully reiterated.

BUFFALO, N E W YORK.
No action has been taken during the past year upon the appropriation for enlarging the custom-house and post office at Buffalo, New York. The citizens of
Buffalo petitioned Congress that the sum so appropriated might be used for the
construction of another building, for which it is sufficient, but Congress having
taken no action thereupon, and the presentv building being apparently ample for
the present;and prospective use^of'the government, I have not deemed it advisable to recommend any expenditure. Reference is respectfully made to the
report from this office of September 30, 1859, upon the matter.

For the custom-houses at Charleston, South Carolina; Mobile, Alabama; and
New Orleans, Louisiana, I am unable to present any specific report. The local
superintendents of each of these works joined the rebellion, and made no report
of the progress on the buildings. The superintendent at Charleston, Colonel
E . B. White, was aiding the rebels at their forts during a period for which he
claims pay from the general government, while the superintendents at Mobile
and New Orleans, Captain Leadbetter and Major Beauregard, are now prominent in an attack upon the government which has educated and supported them.
GALVESTON, TEXAS.
The new custom-house and post office at Galveston, Texas, was completed
(before that State passed an ordinance of secession) by the enterprising and energetic sub-contractors, who transported the entire building in parts from the north,
erecting them in place and completing the work in a'period of six months, while
the original contractors had kept it on hand over four years without getting the
first story completed. As soon as the work was completed the local authorities '
took forcible possession of it, and no further record exists in this bureau.

DUBTJCIUE, IOWA.
In my last annual report the belief was expressed that the new custom-house
and post office at Dubuque, Iowa, would be ready for occupancy by the close
of the then current fiscal year, '^"^his belief was founded upon the report of the
then local superintendent, who expressed entire confidence in thus completing
it Avithin the amount appropriated for 4he purpose. During the present year
that superintendent has been removed and a new one appointed. I regret the
necessity of reporting the work still incomplete. The appropriation will be entirely exhausted when the outstanding liabilities are paid, while the roof of the
building has not been put on, or its interior finished.
Finding this to be the case on a recent inspection, I directed a temporary roof
of wood to be placed upon the building, causing it to be otherwise protected from
the elements, and then stopped the work. It is now in the temporary custody
of the survey Qr of the port, in this unfinished condition, and will so remain until
a further appropriation is made by Congress to prosecute the work.

MARINE H O S P I T A L S .
It has been my frequent duty for several years .past to call the attention of
the Secretary of the Treasury and of Congress to the small necessity that exists
for many of the appropriations for marine hospitals. My VICAA^S upon the subiect have been annually presented, and the impolicy of the appropriations, as
well as then injustice to the seamen, earnestly argued. The matter cannot be
too often recommended to the attention of Congress. The present method of
appropriation is manifestly unjust and cruel to sick and disabled seamen. The
hard earned pittance of the sailor, from which a monthly tax is collected, forms
a common fund, Adiich is exhausted in the costly support of a fcAv organized
hospitals, leaving the care ^of many unfortunates to the chance legislation made
to cover the deficiency. Many hospitals receiving this costly support, with an
organized corjDS of physicians, stCAvards, nurses, ,&;c., are without patients, but
are supported from the common fund, although the port to which they belong
may not contribute a dollar towards maintaining the establishments. Some hos^
pitals are provided for in malarious localities, Avhere it is positive cruelty to
remoA^e a seaman .with a broken limb or other injury, to contract and probably
die of a miasmatic disease; thus, at a sacrifice of the common fund, and at a cost
iX) the goA^ernment, exposing him to results perhaps more fatal than.Avould be his
entire neglect. I cannot too earnestly call attention to the evils of this improvident and unjust system.
BURLINGTON, VERMONT.
-
The ncAv marine hospital at Burlington, Vermont, was completed under your
predecessor, but has never been furnished or occupied. It is an ornamental and
commodious structure, erected upon a site of great natural beauty, but is not a
necessity for that district.
The latest returns from this district show no patients under treatment. During
the present year sixteen sick or disabled seamen have been relieved by private
contract at a cost of $2 50 per Aveek, and an. aggregate cost for the year of
$307 29. This has been the total cost to the government. The hospital cost
nearly $37,000. To furnish it Avould probably cost $1,500, and to organize it
_would entail a heavy charge upon the marine hospital fund of about $2,000 more
annually. The patients are noAv Avell cared for by priA^ate contract, more to their
comfort and health than is too often the result in some organized hospitals, and
AAdiile this is the case it Avould be a manifest absurdity to incm- this greatly
increased expense. The actual cost of relieving sick and disabled 'seamen at
Burlington for a series of years has been from $250 to $300 per annum, and a
reasonable estimate for the future Avill not exceed $300 to $350.
At a recent inspection of this building I found it entirely neglected by the
collector, and in a very disgraceful condition. The work had been fully completed in a substantial and creditable manner, but'the outside doors Avere not
locked, not CA^en closed—Avere SAvinging Avith the wind, and had become so
SAvollen and strained that they could not be shut. Being thus open, not only
the elements, but idle boys and vicious men had free access, to the interior, and
EEPOET ON THE FINANCES.

in consequence the AvindoAvs Avere broken, walls defaced, and ceilings displaced,
Avith other lil^e injury. The collector's neglect is inexcusable. I directed his
deputy (the collector being absent) to cause the Avindows to be glazed, the doors
repaired and locked, and to keep the keys thereafter at the custom-house.
The building is not required for- hospital use, and in all human probability
never Avill be. The commerce of the lake, from physical causes, cannot groAv to
an extent to make it a necessity for a century.
As no poAver exists to sell the property without the authority of Congress, no
present disposal of the premises can be made. They should not, hoAvever, be
permitted to go to ruin by neglect. ' I have therefore instructed the collector to
make inquiry for some careful and competent person Avho would occupy the
premises and keep them in condition in lieu of rent. Plis action under this instruction has not yet been reported.

PORTLAND, MAINE.
Upon inspecting the marine hospital at Portland, Maine, the present season, I
found the general condition of the bmlding to be good, and the premises kept in
excellent order by its present officers., The roof of the building was badly constructed, being faulty both in plan and execution. • It is very flat, totally unsuited to the climate, and the floor beneath unfinished.
The heavy snows in this locality remain upon the flat surface of the roof, and
AA^hen Avet impose ah enormous Aveight upon it, straining open the joints of the
galvanized iron,.flattening the corrugation betAveen the struts, and converting
the Avhole surface into numerous dishes, which are cracked and rent by the superincumbent pressure. Through these rents the rain readily finds its Avay to
the uncoA^ered arches of the floor beneath, and from these to the walls and ceilings beloAv, throAving off and displacing the plastering, and interfering Avith the
sanitary usefulness of the hospital,
I Avas at some loss Avhat course to pursue in reference to this hospital. A true
economy Avould doubtless dictate the non-use of the building. It is a beautiful
and imposing structure, admirably located for its purpose, capable of accommodating Avith ease 150 patients at a time, and cOuld'be made to properly care for
200, Avith economy of room. This fine building, AAdth a full corps of officers, noAV
"ministers to the Avants of seven (7) patients. They could be well cared for by
contract at a tithe of the cost of organization.
But the department was poAverless AAdthont congressional action to make other
disposition of it than that designed by the act of appropriation authorizing its
construction. Yet the building should be protected. To remain as I found it,
it AA^ould soon be ruined. I saAv no better Avay than to construct a noAv roof.
No amount of repair on the present one could remedy its organic defects.
Under your instructions, 1 haA^e-therefore contracted for an entire new roof, to
be constructed of narrow boards, tongued and groved, securely nailed and covered
with slate, of a pitch not less than one foot in six, to be placed above the present
one, its eaves to terminate at the level of the'top of the base board of the present
blocking course, to alloAv the snoAv to slide off, and still have the Avater drop into
the present gutters for interior use; removing the baseboard and lattice work of
the blocking course, leaving only its piers and copings. I believe this AAdll be
effectual; I think nothing short of it would be.
The contractors are noAv at work upon the new roof, and expect to have it

ST. LOUIS, xMFSSOURI.
No Avork has been performed during the past year upon the sewer of the
marine hospital at St. Louis. Its construction is, Avithout doubt, a necessity.
There is UOAV no outlet for the Avater of the hospital; and everything is required
to be carided from it by hand. The accumulated offal about the premises seriously affects the hospital's usefulness. Some repairs are also needed, but the
estimate for them and for the scAver, Avliich have been hitherto submitted to this
bureau by the resident officers, have been so excessive that I have not recommended them for your approval.
Application has been made by the owner of the adjoining property for an
exchange of a small triangular part of the front of the hospital grounds for an
' equal area of land upon the rear of the lot. From a personal inspection of the
premises I cannot recommend this exchange; the rear land that Avoiild be thus
acquired AA^ould not, for hospital uses, be AA^orth enclosing; AAdiile the triangular
front corner, though not needed for the hospital, has a A^alue Avhich may be made
available for its repair. I respectfully recommend that Congress be asked for
authority to sell this portion before it is enclosed, and apply the avails of the sale
to the much needed repairs upon the jDuilding.
Nothing has been done during the past year in reference to enclosing the
grounds. The appropriation for the Avork (represented by the available balance
herewith reported) AAdll probably be sufficient,'but it cannot be economically, or
judiciously expended until the city of St. Louis completes the grading of the street
on the rear of the hospital lot.

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
Upon an inspection of the marine hospital at Louisville I found the general
condition of the building to be good, but from neglect some of its couA^eniences
Avere rendered Averse than useless.
A special agent, under your instructions, examined the building, and recommended the construction of rooms out of filled areas on each side of the basement,
for a kitchen ancl a laundry. He also employed, an architect to make an examination, Avho recommended the construction of rooms in the centre of the basement for a like purpose.
Upon a personal examination of the premises I could not recommend the
adoption of either the plan of the special agent or of the architect employed, for
the folloAving reasons:
The rooms so created Avould, of necessity, be damp and unhealthful, and be
but indifferently lighted, Avith the best constructed areas. The building is on
IOAV, flat land, and Avithout a thorough and A'ery expensive system of drainage
the basement Avails Avould ahvays be damp. The change. Avould be a costly one,
EEPOET ON THE FINANCES;
105
Avliile more room is not a necessity. The hospital Avill accommodate one hundred
patients; Avith economy of space it can be made serAdceable for one hundred and
fifty. It has UOAA^ hut fifteen, and the physician reports that it Avill aA'^erage only
forty. I could not, therefore, see the necessity of thus virtually adding a story
to the building at a large cost. The present kitchen and laundry could be made
.all that is necessary by removing the old stove from the former (Avhich is now
burnt out and Avorthless) and substituting a range. This Avould not only give
more room, but better suit the operatiA^es. A ncAv stove was also a necessity in
the laundry, Avhich would make the room complete for its uses, and satisfy the
occupants.
The Avater closets and cesspools were a nuisance; their condition Avas entirely
the fault of the stCAvard. TAVICC Avithin the past fcAv years they have been put
in complete order at a large cost, in the same manner and by the same man as
those at Evansville; and AAdiile those have not been an expense of a shilling to
the government, these, though not as old, have been a ceaseless cost, and now
require almost entire refitting. There is no mechanical skill or ingenuity proof
against a careless stcAvard for these indispensable conveniences to a hospital.
Upon your instructions, these matters are UOAV being remedied at a minimum
cost, Avhich Avill be chargeable to the fund for annual repahs, the appropriation
for the work having been exhausted.

EVANSVILLE, INDIANA.
Reference is respectfully made to my previous annual reports upon the necessity
of protecting the river front of the site of the marine hospital at Evansville.
No opportunity has occurred for inspecting the premises the present season,
but upon examining them last year, and etirefully noticing the additional loss of
land since the previous report Avas rendered, the opinion then expressed was
confirmed, of the imperative necessity of the Avork, but that it Avould be of comparatively little use to slope and grade the bank until the OAvners of the adjoining
property should do the same. The Avork should be concurrent upon the Avhole
exposed portion Avithin the bend beloAv the city to be of permanent value.
The available balance of the appropriation for this Avork I do not deem sufficient for properly protecting the bank. It Avould probably require from $7,000
to $8,000 to perform the Avork thoroughly and make it permanent.

RUTLAND, VERMONT.
In my last annual report I called the attention of your predecessor to an
alleged imperfect construction of the Avork in fencing and grading the grounds
about the Rutland court-house and post office. Since rendering that report I
have inspected the Avork, and found that the reports Avhich had reached the department of its inferior character Avere not in the least exaggerated. The flagging Avas disreputably done, disgraceful alike to the contractor and the government. It Avas laid on an insufficient foundation, and had been throAA^i by the
frost, entirely out of place, Avhile it was originally placed below the curbing.
The attempted fittings about the posts, steps, &c., were AAa^etchedly executed;
the stones Avere mangled, not cut, and in some pla.ces were tAVO to three inches
away from a joint.
The only remedy Avas entirely to relay^ the Avalk, and to do this properly
Avith the present stone Avould necessarily narrow the Avalk about three inches,
as the curbing Avould be required to be moved iuAvard thus much to take the
place of the flaggmg Avhich Avould be lost in redressing.
Under your instructions I notified the contractor that the stones must be taken
up and relaid, Avith extra ballasting, and the'' ground differently graded. This
is noAv being done under the superintendence of the Hon. Solomon Foot, AAdio
cheerfully and gratuitously complied Avith your request to supervise the Avork
Avhile it was in progress, as there Avas no local superintendent at the Avork. It
is expected to be completed before the coming session of Congress.
Some Avork of minor importance has been done Avithin the building, which
Avas made necessary by the* generous gift to" the government of a valuable library
(by the Hon. S. Foot) for the use of the courts. The large number of volumes
presented by this liberal gentleman made extra cases a necessity, AAdiich liaA^e
been authorized, and his munificent donation is noAV properly placed in the

consistently be done, it is desirable to push the Avork to completion, as the streets
adjacent ai-e cumbered Avith materials, Avhicli the local authorities have ordered
to be removed. The late superintendent of the Avork is UOAV an officer in the
rebel army.

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.
The work under existing contracts for the Indianapolis court-house and post
office has been mainly finished, and the building only Avaits the completion of
some minor matters to be occupied. It Avill be occupied as a post office the
present season, and the United States courts AAdll be held Avithui its walls in
November.' The principal Avork under contract has not been as well executed
as is desirable, nor as well as is usually required under this bureau, the contractor having been sustained in his course by an influence AAdiich has operated
to the prejudice of the Avork and nullified the efforts of this bureau to obtain a
better class of Avork. It has, hoAvever, been accepted and paid for, and Avill be
turned over to the department Avhose officers are to occupy it.
The remainder of the appropriation Avill be insufficient to properly grade and
enclose the grounds, (so much of the original appropriation having been absorbed
by the extra alloAvance to a contractor,) and a further appropriation will be
required to complete the approaches to the building.

TERRITORIAL BUILDINGS.
In my last annual report I submitted to your predecessor the condition of the
appropriations for the Territory of NCAV Mexico, the plans requiring the Secretary's approval before any portion of the appropriation could be expended.
These plans haA^e since been approved by you, but nothing has been done
upon the Avork." The existing liabilities against the government buildings in
the Territory have been paid.

TREASURY EXTENSION.
The Avork upon the treasury extension the past year has been A^ery limited—
too much so for a proper economy. Under the general instructions of your
predecessor, I did not feel at liberty to push the Avest Aving to completion. A
representation of the true economy that Avould result, and the real, necessity
that existed for prosecuting the Avork, Avith an application for authority to pursue
it, Avas early made to you from this bureau. Your verbal instructions limited
me to the most economical expenditure. I have therefore been governed by the
instructions of your predecessor, except Avhen altered by your special order.
The necessity for the additional room of the west Aving is noAv a daily hindrance
to business, and the economy of an earlier construction is painfully apparent in
the injury accruing to the accumulated materials, Avliich are scattered through
the streets and aA^enues adjacent to the building.
I respectfully recommend that the construction of the remainder of the extension be authorized for the ensuing spring, and that the present Congress be
asked for an appropriation of $500,000 for the purpose. The A^astly increased
force of the various bureaus of your department, consequent upon the immense
108
EEPOET ON THE FINANCES.
expenditure in the present condition of the country, render additional room an
absolute necessity. The value of the records UOAV accumulating demands that
they should be kept in fire-proof buildings. In no other Avay can this desideratum be so soon attained as by the completion of the treasury extension.
The AVork upon the exterior of the building for the past year has been confined to the cleaning off of the granite and securing its joints, with the completion of the new roof, reported last season to be in progress. The roof is now
entirely completed, the old and faulty one having been remoA^ed, and the ncAV
one proving perfectly tight and satisfactory. The damage occasioned by the
leaking of the old roof has been repaired. The marble pavement for the south
portico A^estibule has been completed, and the approaches for the south wing are
nearly finished, after a design made in unison Avith the lamented DoAvning's
plan for the grounds about the Executive Mansion, and approved by the late
President of the United States. It Avill probably be entirely completed before
cold weather closes out-door operations.
In the interior of the building the balustrade "dnd rail to the principal staircases have been finished at a very moderate cost.
The Avork upon the interior Avas necessarily suspended during the summer upon
' its occupancy by the United States troops—at one time CA^ery room from attic
to basement being occupied. After the soldiers Avere removed, much time and
money was consumed in repairing the damage consequent upon such occupancy.
Since your removal from the old building to the extension, Avith the force of
clerks there employed, all the Avorkmen competent for such service, that could
be employed, have been engaged in preparing the fixtures for the ncAv rooms,
and will continue to be thus employed through the Avinter.
The AVork upon the west wing has been confined to only such matters as
Avould keep the present force organized, in connexion Avith a fcAv additions to
the employes, made under your orders. The progress thus made is so small as
not to require detailed report.
Since April last I have, under your order, (issued at the request of the War,
Department..) kept a steadily augmenting force of carpenters at work upon the
carpentry of the A^arious fortifications constructed and'constructing on both sides
of the Potomac—their line of Avork extending from below Fort Washington to
above the Chain Bridge, and for some miles on each side the Potomac. About
one hundred and fifty men are now thus daily employed. This has involved
the necessity of a pay-roll and overseer for each gang of men, and largely
increased the cl-rical l^bor of the bureau. The expenses thus incurred, I am
instructed, will be reimbursed from the proper appropriation by the Secretary of
War.
During the present year there has been been used upon the treasury extension 1,158 tons of granite, 499,338 bricks, and 274,076 pounds of Avrought and
cast iron.
The A^alue of materials, machinery, teams, tools, &c., on hand, amount to
$390,157 03. Of this there are about—
4,180 tons of granite, costing
$359,982 00
317,210 bricks, costing
3,690 30

In addition, the following statements and reports were prepared and transmitted .from this office, viz :

fiscal year ending June 30, 1860, comprised in 450 sheets foolscap.
Annual statement of the ''recruiting fund," prepared for the adjutant general
of the United States army.
Annual statement of the " contingencies of the army," prepared, in duplicate,
fo..r the Secretary of War.
.
/
Annual statement of the " contingent expenses" of this office, prepared and
transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Annual reports of balances on books of this office remaining for more than one
and three years unaccounted, to,First Comptroller of the Treasury.
Quarterly reports of balances to the Second Comptroller.
Annual report of the clerks and others employecl in this office for the year
1860, transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury.
The bookkeeper's register shows the settlement of 1,278 ledger accounts
which have been journalized and posted in the ledgers, which, as well as those
for the appropriations, have been duly kept up.'
By reference to the monthly reports from this office made to your department
since the close of the fiscal yoar, it will appear that there has been a constant
and rapid increase of its business beyond the capacity of my present clerical
force to perform, and that in some of its divisions there is an accumulation of
unsettled claims. This has been unavoidable.
The present clerical force in this office was intended to be and is' only adequate to the prompt settlement of the current business arising under the peace
establishment of the army, demanding an annual expenditure of twelve or fourteen millions 6f dollars. It is limited by law to one chief clerk, eleven clerks of
the third class, seven of the second, and three of the first.
During the Mexican war and for several succeeding years the force was
increased to forty-nine clerks, and yet the business fell sadly in arrears, and the
delay attendant' upon the adjustment of claims and debts against the government was the occasion of great inconvenience and injustice to claimants and
creditors.
- ,
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
•
139
The true interest of the government, as well as justice to claimants, demand
that settlements should be made promptly and without delay. To accomplish
this object a sufficient force of competent accountants should be employed to
prevent an accumulation of claims in the office.
If the increase of the army and its expenses during the Mexican war created
a necessity for more than doubling the number of clerks in this office, it will be
apparent that the business growing out of the employment of an army of half a
million of men, and the disbursement of three or four hundred millions of dollars
per annum, will require a much larger clerical force in the offices auditing war
accounts and claims.
The business of this office in the settlement of paymasters' accounts, accounts
for recruiting, for ordnance and ordnance stores," property and clothing, the
claims for discharged and deceased soldiers, and in addition the accounts of Indian disbursements, the labor of examining the rolls and making report to the
Pension-Office in all applications for pensions, of both the regular and volunteer
force, also devolves upon this office.
• •
In view of the recent increase of the business, I believe that within the next
six months at least fifty additional clerks will be necessary to perform the cur" rent work of the office, and I hope that you may deem it proper to urge upon
Congress the necessity of authorizing such a temporary increase of the clerical
force as a prompt adjustment of claims may require.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
E . B. F R E N C H , Second Auditor.

S. P. CPASE,

States, and which come to this office for adjustment agreeably to the provisions
of an act passed^3d March, 1849. Others were of a special character, arising

in various branches of the military service, and which, having received the administrative examination and approval of the proper bureau in the War Department, were sent to the accounting officers for settlement, whilst still others A\^ere
directed to be paid under special acts of Congress. In many of these cases investigations were necessary, requiring much time and labor. The claims re-"
ported on involved the sum of $445,757 12, of which $228,336 74 was'allowed
and paid.
COLLECTION DIVISION.
The duties of this branch are to prepare transcrips for suit, superintend the
collection of balances due from officers who have ceased to disburse, and conduct
the correspondence connected therewith. During the year various causes' transpired to some extent interrupting the business of the branch; some collections
were made, but owing to the interruption to legal proceedings in a number of
States but few cases have been put in suit. The branch has been reorganized,
and is progressing satisfactorily.
^,
- '
In addition to the 'miscellaneous business transacted, the total number of accounts settled during the year was 2,207, and the number remaining on hand
unsettled was 283. The number of letters written on the business of the office,
and recorded, was 3,884.
From the foregoing it will be seen that the regular, business of this office is in
a satisfactory condition. Very few arrearages exist,, and these are generally of
a character that required delay before final action.
On the 2d March, 1861, Congress passed an act directing the settlement and
payment of the expenses incurred by the authorities of Oregon and Washington
Territories in suppressing Indian hostilities therein during the years 1855-'56.
By this act the Third Auditor was directed to examine and audit the claims, and
they were directed "to be paid upon the principle, and agreeably to the rates for
services, supplies, transportation, and so'forth, allowed and reported by the
Third Auditor of the Treasury in his report of the 7th February, 1860." The
amount of the claims, as ascertained and reported by a commission appointed
by the Secretary of War under the authority of Congress, Avas $6,011,457 36,
but this was reduced to less than one-half, in the report of the Third Auditor,
as above—Congress, in the act providing for the settlement and payment, appropriating $2,800,000. Considerable progress has been made in the execution of
the act. Cliu'tns to the amount of about $3,000,0^0 have been filed to this date,
and final nction has been had on claims amounting to $1,093,465, on which
awards have been made for payment to the extent of $501,671.
In preparing these claims for an award it is necessary to verify the certificates
and scrip presented by the parties claimant, as evidences of their clainis, with
the original claims as acted on by the commissioners and the Third Auditor,
ascertaining the amounts allowed agreeably to the report of the Third Auditor
to,Congress, and which was adopted by that body, after which an award is made
in favor of each .claimant for the amount allowed. On the basis of this award
of the Third Auditor an account is stated, in the usual form, which is reported
*to the Second Comptroller in order that a requisition rbay issue by the Secretary
of War on the Secretary of the Treasury for the amount due and payable in
money or bonds, as authorized by the act. This scrutiny and preparation of
each claim involve much investigation and lab or,, but could not be dispensed
Avith, having regard to the interests of the government as well as the rights of
individual claimants. Six clerks are constantly employed on this business, and
it is confidently expected that in a short time they Anil be able to prepare the
claims for final action as fast as received.
A special act Avas also passed, on March 2, 1861, referring to the Third Auditor of the Treasury the claims of the State of California for reimbursement

/
143
of certain expenses incurred by her in the suppression of Indian hostihtie?
therein, and an appropriation of $400,000 made to coA^er any aAvard that miglit
be made. The papers relating, to these claims were only filed in this office a
short time ago, and are now undergoing examination.
The regular business of this office the present fiscal year will be largely aiigmented by the great increase in the army and the expenditures connected thereAvith. As has been seen, the requisitions on the treasury, out of appropriations
entered on the books of this office, and the accounts for the disbursement of.
Avhich come here for settlement, amounted, in the aggregate, during the last
fiscal year, to the sum of $18,506,802 47. By an examination it appears that,
in five months of the present fiscal year, up to ' this date, requisitions to the
amount of $71,914,705 73 have already been registered here, being at the rate .
of $170,000,000 per annum. This ratio Avill probably be increased, rather than
diminished, during the remainder of the year. Some idea may thus be formed
0^ the incre'ased responsibilities, and duties thrown upon the office. In reflecting upon this, the suggestion arises whether application should not be made for
an increase of the clerical force. The number, of clerks now attached to this
office is sixty. This number has been considered ample for the discharge of the
duties by law committed to its charge; indeed, I am not prepared to say that
if additional duties had not been imposed the number might not have been
reduced. There are, hoAvever, several branches in Avhich there has been some
diminution of business. In the pension branch, having charge of the accounts
of pension agents, and -claims for arrearages of pensions, and unclaimed pensions, there has been a reduction, in consequence of the discontinuance of such
business in a portion of the United States. The same causes have operated, to
a'dess extent, hoAA^ever, in the engineer branch. In the bounty land branch the
number of cases received from the Pension Office, for examination of the rolls
for sel'vices rendered in the AA^ar of .1812, has also been diminishing. To some
extent, 'therefore, clerks may be Avithdrawn from these branches and transferred
to duty in the quartermaster and subsistence branches, where the • heaviestincrease will occur. So far there has been no lack of force; but few of the
heavy accounts of quartermasters and commissaries of subsistence have yet
reached the office. These accounts are rendered quarterly to the proper bureaus
in the War Department, where they receive administrative examination and
approval before they are sent to this office for settlement. By law the disbursing officers are alloAved three months in which to prepare and render their
accounts for settlement, and more or less delay usually occurs in the bureaus of
the W^u* Department in the administrative examination aboVe referred to.
Hence, the accounts for the quarter ending 30 th June last are not required
to be rendered to this office before the 1st October; and oAving to the great
pressure of business in the military bureaus, it is probable that more than ordinai:y delay may occur in'transmitting the accounts to the tred^sury.
It is always desirable th^t accounts for the disbursement of public money
should be rendered and settled promptly, and with as little delay as possible.
Especially 'is this the case when so many officers come into the service without
previous experience and for a short period of time, as after their retirement it is
much more difficult to obtain explanations or further evidence when required, as
well as to collect any balances that may be found to be due to the United States
on final settlement, than while in the service. These considerations all weigh
in favor of precautionary measures being taken to prevent an undue accumulation of accounts. Although, as before stated, no emergency exists at present
requiring an increase of the clerical force, yet it is quite possible that the
exigencies of the service may require it before the close of the fiscal year or
during the next -year, the appropriations for Avhich will be made at the coming
session of Congress. I Avould therefore respectfully recommend that authority
144
/
REPORT O.N THE FINANCES.
be obtained fpr the employment of ten additional clerks, to be used or not, as
the wants of the office may require.
It is probable that, in a short time, some large claims of. States, for expenses
incurred by them on account of tlieir troops called into the service of the United .
States, will be presented for settlement and payment. It is knoAvn that large
expenditures have been incurred by the loyal States in organizing, arming,
equipping, &c., for the field their respective quotas of militia called into sei'Adce
•by proclamation of the President, as AA^CU. as A^olunteers raised under acts of
Congress. A large portion of these expenditures Avere incurred at a time Avhen
the general government Avas utterly unable, for want of appropriations or money, .
to meet them; and the State authorities ^ came forAvard to its relief, thereby
relieving the government of the pecuniary liability, for the time being, and
putting into the field, with unexampled rapidity, a force completely equipped
and armed, equal to the emergency. At the special session of Congress an act
was passed 'authorizing and directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay*.to
the States, respectively, the costs, charges, and expenses properly incurred by
them in behalf of the government on account of their troops'called into the service of the United States to aid in suppressing the present insurrection, the
accounts and vouchers therefor to be "filed and passed upon by the proper
accounting officers of the treasury." Under this act a series of rules and regulations relative to the preparation and settlement of claims AA^as approved by
you, and has been transmitted to the governors of the States known to have
incurred expenditures of this description.
The States of Indiana, Illinois, Maine, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, loAva, New Hampshire, and
Rhode Island hhve each receiA^ed an advance of .40 per centum on amounts expended by them, witliout a settlement of their accounts or the presentation" of
the vouchers; it being stipulated in each case, hoAvever, that vouchers shall be
furnished to the satisfaction of the accounting officers of the treasury, agreeably
to the rules and regulations prescribed in 'that behalf, before any further advance
or partial payment shall be apjDlied for from the government. These advances
amount to the sum of $4,514,078 51. Some difficulty has been apprehended
in'the settlement of these accounts, growing out of the peculiar circum-stances
in which they originated, the irregularity of proceeding in some cases, the Avant
of experience in the officers doing the business, and the complication naturally
resulting from.officers and agents acting on the part of the generah government,
as well as of individual States, making contracts and expenditures on account
of the same branches of the service and sometimes of the same troops.
On the 27th August I had the honor to submit to you some considerations
relative to difficulties Avhich might arise in the settlement of these accounts and •
claims, and I beg leave to repeat here, in this connexion, a part of the communication, as folloAvs:
" Prior to the meeting of Congress there was a necessity for such expenditures
being made by the States, in order to put their troops into the field with as
little, delay as possible, the general government being Avithout the appropriations
or means' to defray said expenses. At such a time, and under these circumstances, the several State authorities came forward and took upon themselves, in
a great degree, the burden of supplying, equipping, &c., their several quotas of
troops, trusting to Congress to make proAdsion for reimbursement of all such
expenditures as Avere necessary and proper a,nd for the benefit of the United
States. Accordingly, at the late special session of Congress an appropriation
of ten millions of dollars was made for that purpose, and aii act passed authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay to said States the amount" of expenditures made by them, on settlement and adjustment of their claims by the
proper accounting officers. Congress has also made ample appropriations for
every branch of expenditure connected Avith the raising, arming, equipping,
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
145
subsisting, transporting, &c., all of the troops by law authorized to be called
into the service of the government; and it is• believed that the means to defray
said expenses are and will be ample and commensurate with every demand that
may properly arise. Under these circumstances it is respectfully submitted
. whether the State authorities, and all other authorities, municipal or otherwise,,
should not be apprised that hereafter, or as soon as practicable, the government
will, by its own officers, make provision for all such troops as may come into its
service; .^nd that it is not desired' any further contracts or liabilities should be
incurred on their behalf by the States, respectively, or by any agent or officers,,
except those duly authorized by the United States. ' In this way only can .
uniformity or system be obtained. The incurring liabilities and making expenditures indiscriminately, by agents or authorities not responsible to the government, .nor subject to its. control, opens the door to irregularities and confusion,
and precludes, in a great degree, that accountability and check which are essential to a proper economy and integrity. Moreover it is almost impossible to
avoid double payments Avlien bills are presented in such diversified forms and
mixed up in so many accounts, and it is very difficult for the accounting officers
to distinguish between expenditures made by United States and local officers
on account of arms, equipments, supplies, &c., for the various volunteers, and
thus detect duplicate claims, should any be presented.
The labors and responsibilities connected with the proper investigation and
settlement of these claims must necessarily be great. Some efforts have been
made to obtain a relaxation of the rules approved by you; and, indeed, it has
been suggested that the general government/ should refund Avhatever claims may
be presented, Avithout any restriction Avith i:egard to the character of the expen^ diture or the production of vouchers therefor. It is not at. all improbable that
this^ matter may engage the attention of Congress at the coming session.
Whilst the present legislation remains, hoAvever, and under the rules prescribed,
I shall deem it my duty to insist on the production of the original bills and
vouchers, as required by the rules, Avith a view to such examination as may be
considered necessary to a full understanding and verification of the claims, and
to the establishment of the fact that the expenses were '' properly incurred.'*
These claims involve, in the ^ aggregate, probably tAventy millions of dollars,
and if all these be added to the regular duties of this office, already shown to
haA^e been largely increased, it is obAdous that some delay must necessarily
occur in their investigation and adjustment.

I take great pleasure in bearing testimony to the zeal, ability, and efficiency
manifested by the gentlemen attached to this office in their efforts to discharge,
with promptitude and accuracy, the duties by law imposed on this bureau.

SIR : I have the honor to submit the folloAving report of official operations of
this bureau during the fiscal year ending 30th June last:
First. The total.number of accounts audited during.the fiscal year ending on
the 30th day of June last is 649, embracing 291 reported and 358 certified, involving an expenditure of $11,366,623 under the following heads of appropriation:

Second. The number of requisitions for money issued during the same period
of time is 843, involving an aggregate amount of $14,276,061 56.
Third. The number of transfer and refunding requisitions is 160, involAdng
an aggregate of $1,240,510 26.
Fourth. The number of letters received and registered was 5,434. The number of letters written and recorded is 5,521. The number of official reports on
public business is forty-one.
, Fifth. The number of allotments for pay, granted and entered upon the b9oks
of this office, is 2,219.
Sixth. The number df bounty land cases reported is 357, besides a large number of return cases for re-examination, which Avere promptly revised.
At the close of each quarter of the year a report was made to the Second
Comptroller, exhibiting the names of those disbursing agents of the Navy Department who had failed to render their accounts within the period prescribed
by the act of January 31, 1823, showing also the nature and extent of the default in each case.
Quarter-annual reports are made to the honorable Secretary of the Navy,
showing the amount which had been passed to the credit of the navy hospital
fund, on the books of this,office.
A report has been made to the honorable Secretary of the Navy, showing in
detail the items of expenditure charged to the appropriation for the contingent
expenditures of the navy.
A statement is now in preparation, and AAdll shortly be transmitted to the
honorable Secretary of the Navy, of the amount received' during the year by
each officer of *the navy and marine corps on account of pay, rations, travelling
expenses, servants, forage, quarters, &:c.
.. A^^plications by seamen for admission into the naval asylum at Philadelphia
were numerous. As a service of twenty years is required as a qualification to
entitle an applicant to such priAdleges, and as the service is in many instances
performed .at interA^als of time, extending through a period of thirty-five or forty
years, much time has been occupied in the examination of such cases.
It may be. proper for me to add, at-the close of this report, that for a portion
of this time the clerical force of. the office, limited as it is, was far from complete.
Owing to resignations, some branches of business to a certain extent Avere thrown
into the present fiscal year.
It may not be inappropriate for' me to state that since the close of the last
fiscal year the duties of this office have more than doubled.
Every branch of the naval service having been greatly augmented, the additional labor imposed has been correspondingly great.
I have the honor to be, su', very respectfully, your obedient servant,

SIR : In accordance with the direction contained in your letter of this date, I

147
have the honor to report that during the fiscal year ending J^ne 30, 1861, there
was adjusted in this office, and transmitted to the First Comptroller of the
Treasury for his revision," one thousand three hundred and ninety-five (1,395)
accounts of the various kinds by law referred to this office for adjustment, and
during the same year the number of letters written in relation to these accounts
and the business of the office amounted to three thousand one hundred and one, (3,101.)
Appended.to this report are four statements-, marked respectively A, B, C,
and D.
Statement A exhibits the amount of salaries paid to each of the consular officers mentioned in schedules Band C of the act of August 18,1856, "to regulate
the diplomatic and consular systems of the United States" for the year ending
December 31, 1860. Statement A also shoAvs the loss by exchange of' the
United States in paying consular salaries.
These several items sum up as follows:

I regret to be obliged to state that some of our consulates seem to have been
' exposed to considerable peculation from our OAvn agents and officers.
Although these officers are required by law to report quarterly, I found on
entering upon the duties of this office that the last salary report of the consul
of so important a port as Liverpool, was made March 31, 1858, and that the
consul then acknowledged a balance in his hands of $2,929 83., Since then he
had. strangely been permitted to hold on without reporting, spending all the
funds he could reach, neglecting the payment of claims for food, clothing, and
medical attendance of our sick and destitute seamen; and by a course of plunder and profligacy unequalled in our consular history, contracting public and
private debts, Avhich I am informed by a neighboring consul probably exceed
two hundred thoiisand dollars. It is perhaps some consolation to know that
this plunderer no longer disgraces the government abroad; but like the late
minister to Spain, who, of all our foreign ministers, manifested the greatest
affection for extra allowances, has found a kindred and coiigenial association in
^the ranks of the rebel conspiracy. .Justice to my predecessor requires me to
add that reports were made to the proper authorities of the delinquencies of the
consul to Liverpool, without producing any decided action.
Some of the consulates on the Pacific coast and islands need investigation
and reform. In four of these consulates the disbursements for the relief of
seamen duping the year embraced in the last report from this office exceeded
$114,000, and Avere about $8,000 more than the disbfirsements of all our other
consulates reported during the same year.
In my judgment the appointment of an efficient consul general for the islands
and coast of the Pacific, with a salary of four or five thousand dollars, would,
.by stopping the Avholesale robbery practiced under cover of our humane provisions for sick and destitute seamen, save to the treasury ten times the amount it
would cost,
By the experience and. assistance of my efficient chief clerk, we have made
some diminution in this class of expenditures during the past year, reducing the
gross amount from $220,670 30 to $177,738 17; thus saAdng to the treasury
148
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
, $42,932 13 in the* year. But Ave haA^e been unable to effect a radjcal cure of
the chronic difficulty. I n these distant consulates there are both temptations
and facilities for procuring fictitious vouchers, and the correctness^of papers on
the face is generally in proportion to the enormity of the frauds they.cover.
Nothing short of the supervision of an officer of capacity and competent authority Avill be able to complete the necessary reform. When by proper safeguards
our consuls shall be relieved from all temptation to devise Avays and means to,
reach the treasury b y fraudulent vouchers, they Avill have more time to attend
to thei^' legitimate duties, and Ave shall have reason to expect that the real
wants of our seamen will be better supplied and the receipts for seamen's Avages
will be increased.

1861.
On the 19th of April, 1861, the President of the United States, by proclama;ion, declared the ports of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana,
Vlississippi, and Texas under blockade, and on the 27th of the same month, by
mother proclamation, declared the ports of Virginia and North Carolina also
inder blockade; since which proclamation this department has received reliable
nformation that attempts are freq-uently made to furnish arms, munitions of war,
DTOvisions, and other supplies to persons and parties in those States in open
iebellion against the constitutional authorities of the Union.
It becomes my duty, therefore, to instruct you to cause a careful examination
o be made of the manifests of all steam or other vessels departing from your
jort with cargoes whose ultimate destination you have satisfactory reason to

and to compare the same with the cargo on board; and if any such manifest be
found to embrace any articles of the description before mentioned, or any such
articles be found to constitute part of the cargo, you Avill take all necessary and
proper measures to prevent the departure of the vessel, and to detain the same
in your custody until all such articles shall be removed therefrom, and for further-proceedings according to law.

You will also make a careful, exaniination of all flatboats and other watercraft without manifests, and of railroad cars and vehicles arriving at or le'aving
your port laden with merchandise;, the ultimate destination of which you have
good reason to believe is Tor 'any port or place under insurrectionary conti^ol,
and if arms, munitions of war, provisions, or other supplies are found having
such destination, you will seize and detain the same, to await the proper legal
proceedings for confiscation or forfeiture.
,
I n carrying out these instructions you will bear in mind . that all persons or
parties in armed insurrection against the Union, however such persons or parties
may be organized or named, are engaged in levying war against the United
States, and that all persons furnishing to such insurgents arms, munitions of
war, provisions, or other supplies, are giving them aid and comfort, and so guilty
of treason within the terms of the second section of the third article of the
Constitution; and you will therefore use. your utmost vigilance to prevent the
prohibited shipments and to detect and bring to punishment all who are in any
way engaged in furnishing to such' insurgents any of the articles above described.
You will, however, on the other hand, be careful not to interrupt vexatiously
or beyond necessity, by unwa^rranted or protracted detentions and examinations,
the regular and lawful commerce of your port.
You will report forthwith whether any, and. if any, what,, additional measures

SIR :' Referring to the circular instructions of the 2d ultimo, prohibiting the

the utmost, vigilance in. arresting and detaining all merchandise, of whatever

control.
If you are satisfied, either from the nature of the articles, or otherwise,' that
any merchandise, wherever destined in name, is in fact destined for persons or
combinations in actual insurrection against the government of the United States,
.you will cause the same to be seized and proceeded against for forfeiture.
If, however, you are satisfied that any merchandise, transmitted for States or
places under insurrectio,nary control, is not intended for actual insurgents, and
has been shipped or forwarded without intent to afford aid and comfort to such

163
insurgents, or otherwise to violate the law, you will simply detain such merchandise, and notify the shippers or forwarders, or their agents, of such detention,
and state the cause thereof. If such shipper or forwarder personally, or by
agent, shall satisfy you that tbe merchandise so arrested will not be sent to any
place under insurrectionary control, but will be either returned whence it came,
or be disposed of in good faith for consumption within loyal States, you will
restore possession of the same and allow such disposition thereof to be made as
the pa-rties in interest may desire..
You will regard all States in which the- authority of the United States is
temporarily subverted, as under insurrectionary control; but any portions of such
States in which the laws of the Union and the authority of the federal government are acknowledged and respected, Avill be considered as exempt from any
interruption of commerce or intercourse, beyond such as may be necessary in
order to prevent supplies going to insurgents or to places under their control.
It is the intention of the department to leave the owners of all property per-'
fectly free to control it in such manner as they see fit, without inteference oi
detention by officers of the federal government except for the purpose of preventing any use or disposal of such property for the aid and comfort of insurgents, or in commerce with States or places controlled by insurgents.

SIR : Instances of communication by land and water with the States controlled
by the insurrectionists are still frequently brought to the knowledge of this de-^
pai-tment.
It is to be distinctly understood that all communication, whether for commercial or other purposes, without special permit, is, and since the date of the
President's proclamation of the 16th ultimo, has been, in violation of law; but
it is also to be understood that no permit of any collector, or other officer connected with this department, is of any validity as a sanction to such intercourse,
except as expressly authorized by the license or permission of the President of
the United States, through the Secretary of the Treasury,
All goods and chattels, wares and pnerchandise, going to or coming from a
State under insurrectionary control, and every vessel or vehicle conveying property or persons to or from such States is forfeited to the United States, and must
be seized and proceeded against as so forfeited.
Any circumstances requiring or justifying the mitigation or remission of any
such forfeiture, will be duly considered on application to the Secretary of the
Treasury, in whom, by act of Congress, the sole power of such mitigation or
remission is vested.

Circular to collectors and other officers of the customs.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, September 21,
1861.
, I n order to prevent seizures of property belonging to citizens pf insurrectionary States not warranted by the acts pf Congress relating, to that subject,
it is thought advisable to direct the special attention of the officers of the customs to the provisions of these acts.
The 5th section of the act of J u l y 13 provides, thalt all goods and chattels,
wares and merchandise, coming from or proceeding to a State or place declared
by proclamation of the President to be in insurrection, together with the vessel
or vehicle ••.ponveying the same. Or conveying persons to pr from such State or
place, shall be, forfeited to the United States.
Thi^s section obviously applies to all property in transit, or purchased or provided with a view to transit, between loyal and disloyal States; and especially
to property forming the subject of commercial intercourse. .Such property,
wherever found, is liable to. seizure, and the only redress of parties who think
themselves aggrieved is by appea;l to the Secretary of the Treasury, who is.inve'sted by law with full power of mitigation and remission.
The 1st section of the act approved August 6 declares "that if any person or
persons, his, her, or their agent, attorney, or employ^, shall purchase or acquire,
sell or give, any property, of whatever kind or description, with intent to use or
employ the same, or sufi'er the same to be used or employed, in aiding, abetting,
or promoting such insurrection, * * * or any person or persons engaged
therein; or if any person or persons, being the owners of any such property,
shall knowingly use or employ, or copsent to the use or employment, of the.
same as aforesaid, all such property is hereby declared to be lawful subject of.
prize or capture wherever found."
No doubt can be entertained that this section was well considered, and that
its operation was in'tended to be limited to property used in furtherance of the
insurrection only.
'Seizures under the act of July 13 should be made by the officers, or under
the direction of officers, of the Treasury Department; and all district attorneys
and marshals of the United States should afford all practicable counsel and aid
in the execution of the law.
„
Seizures under the act of August 6 should be niade by the marshal of the
district in which such property may be found, under the general or particular
dnection of the district attorney, or other superior authority. For such seizures
there is no power of mitigation or remission in the Secretary of the Treasury;
but the district attorney, or other superior authority, may direct the discontinuance of any proceeding in relation thereto, and the restoration of the
property seized.
I t will be seen from an inspection of these provisions of the acts of Congress
that no property is confiscated or subjected to forfeiture except such as is in
transit, or provided for transit, to or from insurrectionary States, or used for the
promotion of the insurrection. The only exception 40 this rule of forfeiture is
that made by the 5th section, of ships belonging, in whole or in part, to citizens
of a State in insurrection, which a^re declared to be forfeited after fifteen days
from the date of proclamation, without reference to actual or intended use.
Real estate, bonds, promrnissory notes, moneys in deposit, and the like, are,
therefore, not subject to seizure, or confiscation in the absence of evidence of
such unlawful use. All officers, while vigilant in the prevention of the conveyance of property to or from insiu'rectionary States, or the use of it for insurrec

OFFICE OF THE AUDITOR OF THE TREASURY
FoH^ THE P O S T O F F I C E DEPARTMENT,
November 26, 1861. •
S I R : I have, the honpr to inform you that on the 21st instant I laid before
the Postmaster General a detailed report of the financial affairs of the Post
Office Department, and of the operations of this bureau of the treasury, during
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1861. I therefore beg leave to present in this
report only a brief outline of the principal duties discharged by the office.
In consequence of our international troubles many questions of a new, as well
'as of an extraprdinary, character were presented for consideration and determination, which not only seriously complicated, but greatly increased, the labors
of the office during a portion of the year.
Deeming it to be m j duty tp take care that no portion of the public funds
oyer which I had any control shpuld be disbursed to parties who wotdd be
likely to use the same, either directly or indirectly, in aid of the rebellion which
was designed to overthrow the government, I instituted an investigation into the
loyalty of mail contractors and others in the service of the Post Office Department ; and in all cases payments have been withheld from such as were not
faithful and loyal to the Constitution and the Union. In pursuance of this
policy scarcely any payments have been made, since my connexion with this
office, to parties residing in either of the eleven rebellious States, except in that
portion 'of western Virginia wherein mail service was restored; and numerous
sums, which are large in the aggregate, have been withheld from mail contractors
and others in the States of Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, by reason of their
complicity with the rebellion.
The collection of the revenues of the departme];it being an object of primary
importance, vigorous efforts have been made to collect the balances due from
late postmasters. And, notAvithstanding the impossibility of recovering any
portion of the large amount due by' late postmasters in the rebellious States, it
affords me pleasure to state that the sum actually collected by the office during,
the year, a;mounting to $297,235 06, greatly exceeds that of any previous year
since the organization of the bureau in 183'6.
' .
One hundred and sixty-eight suits have been instituted during the year for
the recovery of sums due to the United States, amounting in the aggregate to

But it is utterly impossible, in a report of this description, to present a just
view of the extensive and diversified labors performed in this bureau, embracing,
as they do, the functions of an auditor, comptroller, register, and solicitor. And
I am free to confess that m j experience, though comparatively limited, has fully
satisfied'me that a clerical force fully adequate to the prompt, efficient, and satisfactoiy discharge of these various duties, has not heretofore been employed
in the office.
^
, ^
. In conclusion, I beg leave to repeat the closing words of my report to the
Postmaster General:
" When I entered uppn the discharge of the duties of this bureau, on the
22d of April last, the business of nearly every division was much in arrears.
Since then, competent and efficient clerks have, by appointment of the Secretary
of the Treasury, taken the places of such as had proven to be derelict in duty
and unfaithful to the trust committed to them; strict and salutary disc^iplinary
lilies and regulations have been adopted and enforced; and the business of the
office, I am happy to state', is now in a most prosperous condition."
" To the zeal, fidelity, and capacity of the clerical corps now employed ^in
this bureau, I cheerfully acknowledge my indebtedness for the present satisfa'ctory condition of the entire business of the office."
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
G. hDNM.^, Auditor.

which, after being received at this office, undergo a. critical examination with

and include heavy expenditures, and not only require :mucli time, but a high
degree of efficiency.and experience in their investigation. I have reason to
believe that the work thereon has been promptly and satisfactorily performed.
The total amount embraced in these settlements-was $34,320,068 27..
In addition to the above, there has been reported to and examined in this
office a number of " certificate" accounts, showing balances due officers and
soldiers who have resigned, been discharged, or deceased, and of seamen, their
heirs, administrators, &c. The amount ascertained to be due upon such certificates is made payable by disbursing officers of the army and navy, according to
theb^-anch of service to which the individual for whose services the claim is
allowed belonged. These claims-originate in the Second and Fourth Auditors'
offices respectively, and during the fiscal year there were reported and acted
upon in this office, as follows, viz,:

There were received and filed, during the year, 1,674 letters upon official
business, the ans.wers to which-cover 285 pages of folio-post of the letter book.
All the annual statements for Congress required by the law of May 1, 1820,
have been promptly transmitted in duplicate to the Secretaries of the Interior,
pf War, and of the Navy. These statements exhibited the balances of the
several appropriations remaining upon the books on the 1st of July, 1859; the
appropriations made for the service of the fiscal year 1859-'60; the repayments
and transfers in that year; the amount applicable under each appropriation, arid
the amomit drawn by requisitions during the same period; and, finally, the
balances remaining unexpended on June 30, 1860, with such appropriations as
were carried to the surplus fund.
'The revision of accounts required of this office, under the regulations of the
Executive, for carrying into effect the provisions of the treaties of October 26,
1852, and of May 24, 1854, with the Chickasaw tribe of Indians, has been
duly made, and the record kept up.
Other usual and prescribed duties of this office—embracing decisions on cases
specia;lly reported from. the Second, Third, and Fourth Auditors, and from the
bureaus and offices of the War, Navy, and Interior Departments; filing official
174 >
REPORT ON THE' FINANCES.
bonds and contracts received from those departments; the supervision of transcripts for suit, &c.—have promptly received attention, the business having been
kept up as usual, and none of it is as yet in arrears.
I would most respectfully and earnestly call your attei;itipn, to the necessity
of an increase of the clerical force in this office, in view of the largely increased
expenditures of the War and Navy Departments.
That a great influx of business will devolve on this office, commensurate with
the increased expenditures, is inevitable, though hitherto it has not been so
severely felt as that I have not been able, by great exertions., to keep pace with
its duties. This, however, has been mainly owing to the fact that the accounts
of many of the ncAvly-created disbursing officers have not yet reached this office
for revision.
In conclusion, I would most respectfully state that I do but follow out the
suggestions of my predecessors, as Avell as my own convictions, in recommending
that the clerical increase of this office should be in ratio of one revising clerk
here to three given to each of the Auditors of the War and Navy for the pilir
po>se of §ta<ting accounts; and I would further add that such increase as may be
awm*dfed to tlii^ office should be composed of original appointments, or of promotions from the' accounting offices of the Second, Third, or Fom-th Auditor's
offices, made for special aptitude.
I have- the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient servant,

The amount received for the use of the Post Office Department was
$6,970,719 35, and the amount paid' on 8,496 post office warrants was
$8,041,920 77. Available balance to the credit of the said department, subject
to draft at the close of the fiscal year, $57,68.4 03. The sum of $14,996,700
was transferred, by means of 786 drafts, from one depositoiy to another during
said fiscal year, for the purpose of being coined, and for making, more conveniently, disbursements for the public service, chiefly for the latter.
The practice of holding moneys at the credit and subject to tlie order of disbursing officers continues to work advantageously for the convenience of said
officers, at the expense, however, of very greatly increased labor and responsibility of the persons.employed in that branch of the business consequent upon
the immense disbursements for military and other purposes in this neighborhood.
The accommodations and the force employed are taxed to the utmost of tlieir^
capabilities to respond to the multitudinous applications, and to keep up the
numerous accounts.
s The receipts in the money branch of the office on treasury account proper,
from all sources during said year, amoimt to $11,927,236 42, of which
$3,934,984 74 was transferred to it by means of 1,484 checks, given in exchange
for coin, and saving to that extent the cost of actual transportation.
Treasury drafts amounting to $12,089,827 50 have been satisfied either with
coin or by being entered to the credit' of disbursing officers.
Accounts have been kept with eighty-seven disbursing officers, and at least
23,570 of their checks paid, amountirig to $7,575,720 97.
Jn addition to the ordinary business of the office there was issued during the
year 45,087 treasury notes, amounting to $18,469,050. '
The announcement of the fact that the payments on treasury drafts in the
month of November just closed>alone-exceed the average annual amount for the
last six years, and that .the payments for that month alone on the checks of disbursing officers amount to $13,116,172 ^ 07 against an average annual amount
for the last six years of only $7,784,853 60, showing the payments on the former
to have increased more than twelve and on the latter more than twenty fold.
And the further fact that this irnmense business has been conducted by the
ordinary force of the office with accuracy, promptness, and despatch, and to the
entire satisfaction of all persons having business transactions with the office^
makes it unnecessary to say that all the persons now employed have done their
duty, and that some have labored beyond the .endurance of most men.
With great respect, your obedient servant,
F . E. SPINNER,
Treasurer of the United States.

REPOET ON THE FINANCES.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Register's Office, November 30, 1S61.
SIR : I have the honor herewith to submit the various tabular statements and
reports from this office for the last fiscal year.
Not having been connected with the office during the whole time covered by
these reports, and its operations being extensive and somewhat complicated, I '
do not feel that degree of confidence in my own opinions in relation to it which
I hope a greater amount of experience will insure. I shall, for this reason, only
venture a few suggestions in relation to the past and prospective operations of
this department of the federal treasury.
The w^ar for the preservation of the government and the existence of the
Union, in which the nation is now engaged, has materially affected the business
of this office in common with all the other relations of the United States.
The extraordinary increase in the national expenditures, and the important
changes in the tariff, rendered necessary thereby, have imposed an amount of
additional labor upon several divisions in this office far greater than has ever
existed in its past history. In some of them this labor has been nearly if not
quite doubled. The large loans, represented by treasury notes, coupon bonds,
and registered stock, which have been made since the month of March last, with
the issue of bonds in payment of the " Oregon war debt," as it is called, have
had a similar effect upon the business of the loan office. But this large addition
to their ordinary duties has been cheerfully and promptly discharged by the
heads of these divisions and the clerks under their immediate direction, with but
little extra assistance, and the various reports bave been made up and furnished
to you within the time required by law, and at as early a period in the year as
has usually been the case. The resignations and removals of clerks in the
office, by reason of which vacancies have necessarily existed for a considerable
time, and the appointment of new clerks, Avho required time and experience to
familiarize them with the duties of the desks to which they have been assigned,
has also had the effect to increase the labors of the clerical force. These labors
have been discharged, however, by more faithful application and working beyond
office hours. I think the government has no reason to complain of the manner
in which the clerks in this office have, performed their duties.
It is not improbable, however, that if the present state of affairs continues an
augmentation of the clerical force in the register's office will become indispensably necessary. But it may be better to wait until the necessity assumes a
greater degree of permanence than it now possesses before asking for congressional action in this respect.
^
I was obliged, from severe indisposition, to ask leave of absence from the office
for a period of nearly two months, during which time the official duties of the
register were performed by Mr. John A. Graham, the chief clerk, in a very
faithful and efficient manner.
There is a large number of official books and papers belonging to this office
contained in two rooms in the basement, Avhich are in a condition discreditable
to the department, and personally annoying every time they come under my
notice. They have been during former years thrown indiscriminately together,
and are now practically useless for any purpose. These ought to be put in
order. Some of the ledgers also in one of the divisions have not been balanced
for some years. The services of two temporary clerks, for a period of from eight
to twelve months, might be profitably employed in performing this work; and
there is a sufficient amount of money, which has accrued in consequence of
vacancies in the clerkships, in this office to pay them. With the present force
EEPORT ON THE FINANCES.
181
in the office this work cannot be done, and I do not feel authorized to employ
others to do it without special directions from you.
Although the forms in which the business of this office has been conducted in
former years are very good, I am not prepared to say that they are the very
best adapted to the increasing magnitude of the operations' of the government, or
unsusceptible of improvement. I do not propose to recommend material changes
in them until I am thoroughly familiar with all' the operations of the office.
I feel confident, however, that changes may and should be made which will
increase the value of the statements and reports emanating from the register's
office to the country, will suppress such parts of them as are not valuable, and
will have the effect in some degree to lessen the expenses of one department of
the government.
Verv respectfully, your obedient servant,
L. E. CHITTENDEN,-Pte^wy^cr.
Hon.
SALMON P. CHASE,
Secretary of the Treasury.

Office o f Commissioner o f Customs, November 22, 1 8 6 1 .
S I R : I n transmitting t h e usual report of the business transactions.' of this
office for t h e past year, I avail myself of t h e occasion to renew t h e suggestions
heretofore made to your predecessors, in relation to t h e approval of t h e official
bonds of collectors, naval officers, a n d sui'veyors. T h e approval of these bonds
b y t h e Comptroller, instead of the Commissioner of Customs, under the construction given to the 12th section of t h e act of t h e 3d of March, 1849, occasions
inconvenience and delay in t h e business of the office, is unusual in analogous
cases, and, in m y opinion, u n n e c e s s a r y ; a n d I apprehend no good reason exists
for separating that, d u t y from all others connected with those bonds a n d t h e
transactions'under them. I entirely concur in the views presented on this subject b y t h e late Commissioner', in his report of t h e 20th of November, 1858, to
wliich I would respectfully invite y o u r attention, a n d hope y o u m a y find it consistent with your views of the l a w to direct t h a t d u t y to be performed hereafter
b y t h e Commissioner, or if not, t h a t y o u m a y deem it expedient to recommend to
Congress such a modification of the 1st section of t h e act of 2d of March, 1799,

REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
203
The number of accounts of collectors of the customs, and of surveyors designated as collectors, received and finally settled in this office during the year,
amounts to two thousand and ninety-three.
Accounts relating to the superintendence and construction of light-houses,
beacons, buoys, marine hospitals, and custom-houses, and for other miscellaneous
purposes, amount to one thousand one hundred and twenty-one.
^
'
The number of bonds taken from collectors, naval officers, &c., and the notices

The accounts of collectors and disbursing agents who have retired from office
since the 4th of M'arch, 1861, have, with few exceptions, been finally closed on
the books of the treasury, and every exertion is being made to effi^ct a saHsfactory adjustment of the remainder at an early day.
The business of the office is in a highly satisfactory condition, and it gives
me pleasure to say that the gentlemen employed in the execution of it have
performed their duties with ability, promptness, and fidelity.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
T. FEHAU, '
Acting Commissioner of Customs.
Hon.
S. P . CHASE,
Secretary of the Treasury.
No. 12.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Office Light-house Board, November 26,'1861.
SIR : I have the honor, respectfully, to submit for your information and for
that of Congress the report of the operations of the light-house establishment
for the last .fiscal year ending June 30, 1861.
At the date of the last annual report from this board for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 18(30, it appears that there were 425 light-houses and lighted bea,cons
on the entire coasts of the United States. .
The number of light-vessels had been reduced during the year from 53 to
47, six screw pile light-houses having been erected as substitiites, in conformity
to the act of Congress, making an aggregate of 472 light stations, some of whicli
are double lights, and one having three lights for' distinction.
The total number of buoys, beacons, and day-marks was upwards of 4,500,
On the 18th of December, 1860, the light-house inspector at Charleston,
South Carolina, (Commander T. T. Hunter, United States navy,)' addressed a
letter to this board stating that he had reason to believe, from a conversation he
had had with Mr. Colcock, the collector of the port, that he would tender his
resignation as soon as South Carolina passed her ordinance of secession, and
that if required to do so he would turn over all the public property in his possession to the State authorities. The inspector asked for orders in regard to the
public property in his charge within the limits of the State of South Carolina.
This letter was submitted to the then Secretary of the Treasury, who, on the
24th of the same month, replied that *' the law holds that officer (the lighU-house
inspector) accountable for all the public property and moneys under his charge
as inspector of the light-house district," and ''under the present condition of
things the department cannot issue instructions in regard to the matter." * * *
Oil the 2Sth of December the inspector reports by telegraph, followed by a
204
REPORT ON THE FINANCES.
letter of the same date, that the contractors for furnishing provisions for the
• crews of the light-vessels in the vicinity of Charleston refused to deliver them,
and adds that he has the assurance of Governor Pickens that all government
property under his charge shiall be respected, and that he should be untrammelled
in the execution of his duties. On the 29th these assurances.were reiterated by
the governor; but a short time after the inspector found the light, at Castle
Pinckney in charge of a " State officer."
On the SOth Governor Pickens requested the inspector to leave the State,
authorizing him to take the tenders, but none of the light-house property in *
sto^'e.
^
.
.
On January 1, 1861, Governor Pickens directed that the inspector and the
light-house tenders should not- leave the port for thirty hours, and that he was a
prisoner. Subsequently, upon being informed by the inspector that it was not his
mtention to remove the tenders, the governor informed him that his order had
reference to the vessels only, and that he would be allowed to go from the State
of South Carolina free from all interruption "if he goes by any land route."
By the 8th of January, .1861, seizures had been made by the authority of the
governor of South Carolina of all the light-house proplerty, consistin.g of light'vessels, light-house tenders, buoys, and their equipments and supplies in store,,
and excludmg the light-houses at Charleston, Georgetown, Cape Remain, Bull's
Bay, and Hunting Island, in that State.
The lights were extinguished without notice to mariners, and in many, if not
^all, cases the Fresnel illuminating apparatus was destroyed or removed, .
The extinguishment of lights from light-houses, removal of light-vessels, and
the destruction or removal of all the other aids to navigation' existing from the
northern boundary of Virginia to the Rio Grande, excepting those on the peninsula of Florida (Jupiter inlet to Dry Tortugas,) was continued until about the
24th of April, when the whole was accomplished. In a few instances the persons seizing the property claimed to do so by authority, and gave receipts for it;
in others, the United States agents charged with its custody connived at the
seizures, and in some instances the property was burned in mere wantonness.
The supply vessel, with annual supplies of oil, wicks, chimneys, and cleaning
materials for all the lights between Amelia island, Georgia, and the Rio Grande
for the current year, 1861,.having been despatched at the usual time on her acr
nual voyage, and before the outbreak at the south, was not recalled,, the supplies
were delivered as usual and without obstruction until her arrival at Galveston.
After having; delivered to the light-house engineer of that district the necessary supplies for the lights between Galveston and the Rio Gande, the master
was prohibited from leaving the .port. He was, however, after a detention of
many weeks, allowed to leave with his vessel. Between the 19th and 24th
April, 1861, the two light-vessels in the Potomac were wantonly burned, and
four in the Chesapeake between the mouth of the Potomac and Hampton Roads
were removed and their apparatus carried off or destroyed. Two of these lightvessels were subsequently recaptured, but they had been stripped of everything
tliat could be removed.
In August last a band of lawless persons visited the Jupiter Inlet light-house,
on the coast of Florida, and removed therefrom the illuminating apparatus. A .
few days afterwards the same band visited the light at Cape Florida and destroyed the illuminating apparatus.
The lights at Tortugas, Key West, Sand Key, Dry Bank, and'Carysfort
Reef, on the Florida reefs, have thus far been protected.
The light at Chandeleur island has been relighted by the commanding naval
officer in that vicinity.
•
Immediately on the receipt of intelligence of the capture of Port 'Royal a
light-vessel was orderecl to be fitted and sent to that locality to take the place of

the one removed by the rebels, and which was bm-ned so soon as Port Royal
was captured.
All the buoys, illuminating apparatus, and supplies deemed necessary for
temporary purposes by our naval forces liaxe been furnished; and as the light
stations are captured, and it is seen that there is a reasonable prospect of their
being protected by the naval and military forces," they will be re-established in
accordance with your instructions.
From the close of the last fiscal year to March of this year the alleged want'
of available funds in the treasury prevented the ordinary and necessary expenditures under the head of repairs, andofor replenishing the stock of supplies,
buoys, &c., &c., which hkd..been largely drawn upon.
During the 4tli quarter of the last fiscal year (March to July) the expenses
of the establishment were reduced to the lowest rates of expenditure. No new
works of construction or repairs were commenced, and all works of that character
which were not being constructed under contract Avere suspended.
Disbursmg officers were requh-ed to deposit in the treasury all the funds in
t3ieir hands on account of special appropriations, which were not necessary to
pay contracts or claims already due.
The removal of the illuminating apparatus in April last from the two important lights marking the approach" to the Chesapeake bay, (Capes Charles and
Henry,) rendered some temporary substitute necessary, and by your authority
a first class light-vessel was fitted with proper apparatus and moored near the
entrance between these two capes.
Three iron pile light-house structures contracted to be built last year were
completed, early in the spring, and have been erected at Detour j White Fish,
and at Manitou island, on the northwest lakes.
The two first class granite light-house towers at Cape Ann, (Thatcher's
island,) Massachusetts, contracted to be commenced two years ago, have just
been finished, and the lights from them exhibited. Hitherto the two lights
marking this important point were very inferior in power and range.
The two first class light-house towers authorized to be erected at Navesink,
New Jersey, entrance to New York bay, are near completion. The materials
for these two towers had been contracted for in 1860, and nearly all delivered
or ready for delivery early in the summer. There was a temporary suspension
of the work after June 30, and resumed again soon after by.authority. The old
towers at this light station are in a very bad condition, which made it of the
greatest importance to complete the ncAV ones without delay.
The light-house at Whidby island (Red Bluff,) at Admiralty Head, in Washington Territory, which was under construction at the date of tliQ last report,
has been completed and the light exhibited.
In conformity with the provisions of the third section of the act approved
March 3, 1859, the beacon-light known as the Nantucket beacon, on Nantucket
island, Massachusetts, was discontinued in May last, and the building has been
removed to a position in front of Nantucket main light, to serve as a range daymaxk.
There are no extensive repairs going on in any of the districts, and it is believed that but few will be required during the winter.
Winter gales and the consequent high tides always do more or less damage
to light-houses at exposed points; but the injury will ordinarily be small at all
stations where the structures have been built with proper engineering skill.
There are still remaining some of the old badly-constructed towers which
require constant attention and expenditure..
. Although the almost entire withdraAval of officers of the army and navy, as
engineers and inspectors of the several ligl^t-house districts, from that duty to

upon the naval and military arms of the service, has thrown upon this office
greatly increased duties, yet this additional labor has been cheerfully assumed,
and the general and routine duties of the service have been performed with the
usual zeal and promptitude.
It is believed that the lights and other aids to navigation now under the control of the government are entirely efficient, and are not surpassed by those of
any other country.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
