EGYPTIAN COTTON.
A Specimen of Cotton from the Egyptian seed
brought to Georgia last spring by Col. W. 0
Dawson, raised by Maj. W.P. Dearmond of this
s city, has been handed to us for our inspection.
The staple is pronounced by competent judges
to be very lino, and valuable on account of its
length. Should this cotton not degenerate hy be
coming acclimated, it will be a most valuable ac
quisition, Egyptian cotton commands in the Liv
erpool Market, a price midway between Sea Is
land and Upland.
We will venture the aasertion'lhat the annals
of all time, do not present an instance of such
barefaced political chicanery as the act of Gov.
Schley in raising a regiment often companies of
Volunteers in the Cherokee counties for the pre
tended security of the citizens of that region.
Never was such a step so little justified hy the
circumstances under which it was taken. Ihe
Indians are as peaceable as lambs ; they are to
tally unprepared for committing hostilities, be
cause their arms have all been taken away Irom
them; there are now six or seven hundred
troops stationed among them, in the pay of the
United States; and, lastly, there arc at least five
while men real ling in those counties for every In
dian! Under those circumstances why is this re
giment so unexpectedly raised? What use is
therefor it? None —none whatever! It is all a
vile political manoeuvre, intended solely to control
the voles of lire people of those counties! It is a
bribe offered at the State’s expense,to purchase up
voles for the man who solemnly promised, in the
face of Heaven, and in the presenn e of his follow
citizens, to be the “ Governor of the State, and
not ofa parly.” It gives the Governor an excuse
to put his hands into the Treasury and lake out
money to buy his own re-election. Every man be
longing to the regiment will bo operated upon by
his partisan officers,& those who cannot be bribed
or persuaded, will be debarred the liberty ,ol go*
ing to the polls! Immense sums of money
have to be expended for the purchase ot provis
ions for the subsistence ol this army, and hy this
means it is hoped to bribe the planters of that
section into the support of his Excellency. Not
content with making a tour through that country
in person under the pretence of superintending
the great Rail Road, he now raises an army with
no other real view than to bolster up his falling
fortunes, and thrust him perforce upon lire peo
ple once more as their Governor. The man who
refused to pay for the clothing & necessaries of th c
brave soldiers who went to Florida where there
was actual service to bo dons, now has the cffrori
tery to raise a regiment at the public expense to
parade about the country to electioneer for him
self! These men will no doul the well clothed;
we shall hear no complaint about refusal to pay
for their overcoats & pantaloons !no ! no! they
are in his Excellency’s service—not the people’s,
and no doubt they will he well provided fur, at
least until the election !
Let us examine into the expense to which thc
State will be put by this new armament. Under
our rnilita laws each company must have at least
(74 privates & 14 officers including musicians,
I naking 78 in all, and making the Regiment to
c (insist of 780 men and officers. These will re
r eive the same pay us United Slates troops, and
t he expenses of one month may ho estimated as
. f allows.
I Colonel §9O
S Majors, each S6O 120
10 Captains, each £,4.7 ASO
10 First Lieutenants each 30 300
10 Second Lieutenants 85 850
10 Ensigncs 20 800
40 Sergeants each 10 400
40 Corporals 8 320
20 Musicians, each § 10 §2OO
640 Privates, each $6, 3840
Making a grand total of £6170 per month,
merely for the pay of the regiment, besides cloth
ing, provisions, camp cquippage, baggage wag
gons, arms and ammunition, a large quantity of
which latter article will no doubt he used in firing
guns in honor of his Excellency’s re-election,
should such a thing happen. We will not under
take to calculate thc whole expense, but we pre
sume it will take some 15 or 20,000 dollars p<>r
month! We ask th ■ people who pays the piper,
and what it is they pay him for?
We learn hy the Texas Chronicle of the 19th tilt
that, Capt. Wheelright,commander of the schr. In
dependance, which it will be recollected was cap
tured hy the Mexicans, has made his escape from
Itis guards at Matatnoras, and in company with a
physician, succeeded in embarking in a whale
boat for Texas. It is tdso reported that Cap'.
Thompson of thc Mexican Schooner Dravo, to
gether with the second officer in command, has
deserted from his vessel, and gone over to the Tcx
iatis. His family has arrived in New Orleans.
From Florida.— The Tallahasse Floridian of
thc 29 inst. says: “ Dy a letter received from Col.
Brown, in West Florida, we learn that the hos
tile Creeks in that quarter appear generally dis
posed to come in, having, as they say become
tired of thc war. Major Wilson, of the army, with
8 friendly Indians as interpreters, the Col. writes, j
has rendered very essential service in collect
ing and bringing in thc fugitives. Fourteen of
the bostiles are nowin camp, and among them
Cosafi.xico, the ptincipal chcif of the party re
maining, who, ho says, are weary of lighting, and
desirous to come in. It is stated that a parly of
abouttwenty warriors beside women and children
have stopped near St Andrew’s Bay, supposed to
be on their way to the Seminole country, having
r-- T'nevwgi.:«s.w.i j j ut'jui’a ——' ’ -’
| been visited hy a parly of five Euchee warriors.—
These Indians have succeeded in visiting the
! Creeks unmolested, having crossed the Apalachi
| cola river below the Indian towns. They stale
! that in the the Seminole country they can always
keep out of thc way of the whiles, and offer this
as an inducement for the Creeks to join them.—
It is believed, however,that hostilities in this quar
ter have ceased, and that the Indians will all leave
the country —such as do not succeed in joining
thc Sominoles, will emigrate.
[from our cokbksfosuknt.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13th, 1837.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS IN A MINOR
ITY IN THE HOUSE !
This is the astounding result of the very first
acts of President Van Burcn. When I think of
this —when I consider the tone of defiance and
opposition used by many members' who were
elected as friends of the administration —when I
hear the marked and severe reprobation by the
public press, of the doctrines and recommendations
of the Message responded to by a majority of 25
in the House of Representatives, I am forcibly
reminded of a conversation that took place with
in my hearing in November last, between a
member of Congress from a neighboring city, and
an officer of thc House. His result of the Presi
dential elections had just been ascertained, and
the representative and his friend were in high
spirits at the triumph of their party’s candidate.
The Hon. Mr. H. remarked “Mr. Van Burcn has
now a clear field before him. This adroitness and
moderation will entirely disarm his adversaries ;
and 1 prophecy that before the next summer will
ho over, there will scarcely be an opposition even
in name." Such were the sanguine expectations
indulged of the beneficial effects of Van Burens ad
ministration—such thc high estimate placed upon
his gifts and [accomplishments as a Statesman/
How have those high hopes been fulfilled ?
How has this flattering opinion been justified ?
“Only a few months elapse and his course of pol
icy has struck down the commercial credit of the
country —brought adversity to the homes of all
classes—ami spread ruin and embarrassment
throughout the wide extent of a deluded and op
pressed nation—an opposition has been conceit;
tied larger in numbers—more determined and un
compromising n spirit—more intelligent, respect
able and influential —and more confident of suc
cess than any previous administration has ever
had to encounter. Instead of disarming his ad
versaries, Mr. Van Burcn has put weapons in
their hands of keener edge, and more enduring
and vigorous than ever they wielded before ; and
what is’worso.he has cooled and alienated many
of his most respectable, cot,tiding and hopeful
friends.
Mr. Claiborne ofMiss., a young man of some
promise, hut of little experience, and very limited
political knowledge, has, in a recent letter, claim
ed for thc President the possession of great ability
as a statesman. Ido Mr. Claiborne the justice to
behove he is honest in his opinion. Many of his
parly entertain the same notion sincerely—nayi
it is by no means an uncommon opinion among
those opposed to him. Some of the Whig papers
have laboriously propogaled and instilled into the
public mind, the idea that Mr. Van Burcn is at
Jeasl a man of great sagacity, invention and dex
terity. He has been styled “rue Magician,”
and innumerable illustrativcs have been given of
: bis genius for tact and management. Now if, by
• nil tbis, it is meant that Mr. Van Buren is rernar
i kablc for a high degree of that political sagacity
J which belongs to the character ofa true stales.
■ man, such as Fox, or Pitt, or Clay, Calhoun and
Webster—fur fertility in resources, or for doxteri
i ly i.t the use of honest moans, necessary to ac.
eompli dl noble ends, the assumption of such at
tributes L altogether groundless and at bitrary.—
Mr. Van Batch, as is well known to those best
acquainted will, .him,is a man of second rale pow
ers in every thing. He baa certainly not shown
himself to ho a magician .since his accession to
the Chief Magistracy. -His persistence in the
odious policy of the Treasury Cirluar destroyed
what popularity ho possessed in the great West
ern Stales. He was driven to th * convocation of
Congress at this extraordinary so. 1 "rion, hy that
worst of counsellors, Fkab. It was ... nrely not a
master stroke of policy to force on the elt ’t |ons at
a time when the people were roused to (Its high
est indignation, and loudly calling for a diaDiJP,
to bring to the seat of government a body of mc.u
fresh from the people, to watch with jealous eyes
the movements of the Executive and his subordi
nates, and to hold up before the country, in their
true light, his sins of omission and commission.
Let us therefore hear no more of the dexterity and
sagacity of Marlin Van Buren. These qualities
arc not his. They exist only in the imaginations
of those who ascribe them to him.
It was expected that Mr. Webster would this
day address the Senate in relation to the hill for
the postponement of the installment of the sur
plus revenue, but that gentl-man, though pre
sent and ready to proceed with the discussion,
yielded to what appeared to be the general wish
of the Senate, to postpone all debate, until the
Committee of Finance should report in full and
finally, through the Chairman, Mr. Wright, as
will bo done to-morrow.
To-day Mr. Wright brought in from that Com
mittee, three hills relating to the momentous sub
jects submitted to them by the President’s Mes
sage,—a bill to authorize the extension of the
time on merchant’s bonds —a bill to proviJc for
collecting the balances due from the deposile
hanks; and a bill to authorise the issues of Trea
sury notes.
All these were read a first time, and ordered to
a’sccond reading to-morrow. It is impossible to
obtain the provisions in detail in time for the ex
press mail, but you may expect them to-morrow.
Mr. Wright gave notice that ho would report
to-morrow in full; and then, it is expected, will
bo brought forward the Sub-Treasury scheme. —
The Senate adjourned at an early hour.
The House was engaged, fur the principal por
tion of thc day, in a discussion relative to Mexico
and Texas, which was brought on by Mr. Adams
calling up his resolutions offered yesterday, re
questing the President to give the House informa
j tion, and also the correspondence between this
Government and that of Mexico, concerning the
boundary between them, and particularly con
cerning any proposition for a cession to the U.S,
of any territory belonging to Mexico; and also re
questing to know whether any proposition has
been made, on the purl of the Republic of Texas
to this Government, for the annexation of the
said Republic to the U. S., and calling for all the
correspondence on thc subject.
Toe fir.;: resolution was not objected to; but the
„■ | latter wai strongly opposed hy several members.
- i Air. Haynes of C.t., offered an amendment to re
i j strict the inquiry to such information as the I’re
; [ trident might not deem incompatible with the pub
- J lie interest. Mr. Thompson of S. C„ moved to
lay both the resolution and the amendment on
■ | the table; which was rejected, •.ftcr an aniiua.
■ ted discussion, (of which Ia it obliged to defer an
account till to-morrow,) the amendment was a
doplcd, and the resolution, thus amended, concur
red in. It appears from the debate, that there has
been a correspondence between the Tcxinn au
thoriiicsand ibis government, relative to the an
nexation of that Republic to our Union; and that
several members of Congress'know the charac
. ter of that correspondence.
Air. Cambteling to-day reported a bill to
thoiiztng the issuing of Treasury notes, (which
will become the currency ot the country!! It
was ordered to be read a second lime to-morrow.

MONEY MARKET—CITY NEWS.
Saturday, P. M.—The result of the choice of
Printer has had a favorable effect on the money
market of our city. It has inspired a confidence,
in the opinon—that the Government are in the
minority,and that their ultra Loco Foeo doctrines
cannot be carried out. The choice of Speaker,
it was well known, did not test this question. The
trade of the city has been checked in an extraor
dinary degree by the message, and its piopost
lion. The fact, however, that the Executive is
powerless and cannot carry out his ultra doctrines,
will soon have a reviving influence on the busi
ness of the city. Domestic Exchanges continue
in as deplorable a stale as they have been. The
merchants ol our city, however, whose suspended
debts lay in the South, feel much greater encour
agement in their ultimate payment than they
have I lithe ito felt—for their advices generally aie
very favorable.
Within the last ten days the shipments of cot
ton to England and Prance, have Increased so
much so that not only packets, hut Iranciciil ves
sels have got full, but at very low rales. The groat
number of steerage passengers returning also ena
bles vessels to make tolerable freight lists.
Specie still goes to Europe, but not as freely as
it did a month ago. The last packets took but
about two hundred thousand dollars.—The Treas
ury Report gives the following as an official stale
ment.
Amount of specie reported May 15 to
Sept, i, §3,708,332
do do. imported do Jo 3,140,000
Difference, §503,320
■ But no confidence is to be placed in this state
-1 nient, as large sums go forward without overap
j. pearing at thc Custom House. Indeed it is quite
common for the largest shipments in gold to be
put on board the steamboat at 10 A. M. when
. the ship is detaided below for the Captain and
, passengers, and which cannot bo placed on the
manifest of the vessel. Tbo amount of specie
sent from this city alone is at least live millions.
The holders ol real estate look to Washington
■ with more anxiety than any other class. If lire
, ultra doctrines of the Globe are to ho carried out,
their position will be desperate indeed.
The Budget of the Secretary of the Treasury
attracts but little attention, as all lire new prttici
; pies laid down were shadowed forth in the mos
sage, and so nobody of airy intelligence believes
that more than one or two of its rcctiinmondations
will bo carried out. If the wholo’ducuuieiit was
not considered among mercantile men to be mere
brutum fnlmen, it would create a good deal of
alarm on account of its anti-morchantilo, anti
business character, the Secretaries of the Trpa
, sury hitherto, having been considered as the
friends and allies of tbo business intents of
countty.
The late news from Washington hasconvinecd
the merchants that Congress will be much mote
liberal in tiro extension of their bonds than the
Secretary recommends, notwithstanding tiro ap
parently hostile arrangement of the Committee
of Finance in the Senate. The 4,000,000 due
'll October, it is believed, will be put off'a rcason
a.'ijo time by a reasonable Congress,and the quick
er ti.'is is done thc better, so as to quiet apprehen
sion.
The proposal to issue Treasury notes surprises
every body',-not only the Wbigs but thc Lo ->
Focos, for airier ihe late letter to “Dear Blair,”
front the HermitOgY- discouraging these National
Shin Piasters, it w' aa not presumed that men
“following in the fooU't “P s ” would step out of the
track marked for them tv l follow in. Thc neces
sity of the Secretary, however, scorns to compel a
deviation, for the Treasury au.lf nowledges his De
partment to he in a condition ei ’*u , ly like that of
hundreds of merchants who have 1.1 Heel. Ho has
money duo him, hut ho cannot get i't nnd so
have they. Hence we not only have a oroposal
to repeat the October instalment of the t urplus
duo the Slates, 9,000,000, but Ihe creation A? a
credit system in the form ofTieasury notes. l"he
necessary wants of the government including on,’ i
million for the mint and Irltco or four millions for
contingent expenses will leave a deficiency for
thc year of about ten millions! and to meet this it
is though “there will probably be a necessity to
resort to thc deposiles now with the Stales and
to the instalments destined for them in October
or lo some other resource.” The people in their
period of great distress called on Congress to
come tip to their rescue, hut it appears that Con
gress,now that it has assembled, will have enough
lo do to rescue the government.
The enormous expensesot the Millilary Depart
ment are swelling up lo a war rate, as if we had
a European, instcul of an obscure Indian nation,
to contend with. Thc military expenditures in
eluding pensions for the first six months of the
current year amount lo the prodigious sum of
§10,603,361 49!
The reader who remembers from year lo year,
and has in mind's age thc labored Eulogy on the
Pet Banks, the Pet Bank System, and their ef
ficiency in regulating the domestic Exchanges
only one year ago, will smile at the doctrines, all
to Ihe contrary now. The regulation
of the Exchanges wo are now told, is not the bu
siness of thc Government. All thc govern
ment has to do is to take care of itself ! To
enable it to lake this care lo itself, wo have the
sub-Trcasury Bank System eulogized now, with
the power of issuing Treasury Bank notes on in
terest, or without, and then the proposal to create
a whole horde of office holders, Commissioners,
or Receivers General under it, &c. &c. Such a
document as this, under existing circumstances,
of course produced no sort of effect in this city
other than that of amusement of the Secretary’s
expense. The election of a Public Printer was
an affair of much more significance among busi
ness men who have their eyes on (he doings of
Congre; it who there tee the signs of the times.
e | Thc great enquiry now is “what riff Congren
;. j do." —the answer to which is as <lil cu | t now u ,
jit was before Congress me!. Two atestions ap
, | ear lo tie settled, —thc first istlr.it tin udminislra
' lion are Loco Foeo, and the next istlurt the op
i- position have a decided majority aganst them it
0 the popular branch of Congress.

* REPORT OF THE
SECJIETAUV 01-' THE THEASI ItV,
THE FINANCES.
, Treasury Department, )
September 5,1837. j
5 In pursuance of the duty of this department
to submit to Congress, at each session, the
C elate of the finances; and in conformity with
tlie request ot the President, that such other
i fiscal matters should, on this occasion, be pre
. sonted, as appear to acquire early legislation,
i the undersigned has the honor to offer the
j following report:
I. CONDITION OF THE TREASURY.
It is not, proposed to give ail the particu
lars, relating to the receipts and expenditures,
which usuallyjaccompany aiqainiuafstatement.
But an exposition of them, under the custo
mary general heads, so fur us they have been
1 ascertained, for the first half of tbo year, is
1 subjoined,
1 Brief ectimntrs for tbo other half are made,
; and such explanations added, ns seem neces
sary to show with clearness not only the con
dition of the Treasury at tins tunc, but its
, probable state for the residue ol the year.
According to the Treasurer’s running tte
’ count, the whole amount of the available mo
ney in the Treasury on the Ist of January.
1837, applicable lo public purposes, was
$42,408,851) 90. From that sum,there were
on that day reserved $5,000,000; and the
balance, being, $37,403,850 90, was, under
the provisions ol the act, of June, 23,1830, to
ho placed in deposite with the Elates. It is
ascertained that $27,003,430 80 of it have
since been actually received hy them.
The amount of that portion of the lirsl three
instalments, the payment of which has not
yet been acknowledged, though transfers were
seasonably issued lor it, is $1,105,570 18.
The remainder is $9,307 214 98, anil is the
sum which was designed for the fourth instill
ment of deposiles with the Stales on thc Ist
of October next. Tito amount reserved in
the Treasury on the Ist of January has since
been increased, by returns subsequently re
ceived from banks, to die sum of $0,670,-
137 52; and which, of course, could nut then
be ascertained or taken into computation.
RECEIPTS.
The receipts in the first half otTlio ycatv'e
posited in the hanks, and paid on drafts hy
collectors and receivers, so far as ascertained,
have been.
From customs $7,234,451
From lands 5,303,731
Anil from miscellaneous sources 512,202
To these may bo added about $009,000
which remained in the hands of receivers,and
§50,000 in those of collectors,subject to draft.
All these make the aggregate lur that half ol
the year $13,187,182. If no further post
ponement be granted on duly bonds it is esti
mated that the whole receipts for the last half
of the year, from all sources will be about
$9,500,000; which would make them, as as
certained and estimated fut the whole year,
$22,087,182. But if the brief extension of
the present postponement, brought into view
hereafter, and favorably regarded, ho directed
by Congress, the receipts will probably be
about $7,000,000; while by a postponement
of the whole lo another year, they will not be
likely to exceed $4,500,000.
Looking at our whole revenue therefore,
front all duarters, it appears that the balance
of money reserved at the commencement of
Ihe year, as finally ascertained to bo $0,070,-
137, with the actual receipts for the first half
at $13,187(182, and those now anticipated for
the last half of it at $7,000 000, will consti
tute an aggregate of $20,857,310.
EXPENDITURES.
. The expenditures during the first half cf the
year were, for
Civil, miscellaneous, and for
eign intercourse $2,812,540 40
Military, including pensions 10,003,301 49
Naval 3,297,149 09
Public debt 20,832 75
Making an agregate of $10,733,884 33
Tito expenditures required to meet existing
appropriations, during the last hall of the
year, will, as computed, equal the sum ol
$16,000,000; making for tiro whole year
$32,733 884.
Whatever expenditures shall arise within
the year, upon new appropriations which
I Congress may think proper to make, wdl re
,-n'ire a corresponding addition to this amount.
Bo* without them, it will constitute an excess
of $.5,874,505 of expenditures over both the
receipts -’nd the balance at the commence
ment ol ft.” V' :iir ! besides not leaving, at the
close of it, a. ” thing in the Mint or the
Treasury for fu.ti’f® uses « or 10 lneet contin
gencies. ,
In order, therefore’- to discharge that ex
cess, ami retain, of th ’ policy reserved on
the Ist of January, one t ni'lion. which is the
smallest sum deemed proper, under the acts
of Congress, fur the efficient Pj trillions ol the
Mint, alid at least three or four m-oons more,
to answer sudden and contingent cai s there
wdl probably be a necessity to resort to the
deposiles now with the Stales, & to the in
stalments destined for them in October, or to
some other resource, for a sum equal to $lO,-
090,000. By a report of the Treasurer cf the
30th ult., it appears that the balance in the
Treasury, including what was in thc custody
of banks, the Mint, and collecting officers,
was then $14,596,311 ; that the amount ol
this subject to immediate draft, was only SB,-
928,072 ;—hut, the whole balance in the Trea
sury; including all which had been deposited
with the States, and ordered to bo. though
only a small part of the amount is to
immediate draff, was $41,532,381. Deduct
all which has been, and was designed loj be
deposited with the States, and there would bo
no balance left on hand subject to dlaft,
though including every thing in the Mint, ind
in the possession ol receivers and collectors,
which is applicable to general purposes.
•Hence it is probable, that, r,pfi.
cicncy for the expend lures of the year, no

i'- torventiig expenses, to complete Dm mstal

day, and amounting to near $4,000,000, and

' V. ON THE SAFE KEEPING OF THE PL’DUC
■I
. MONEY HEREAFTER
The arrangements lor keeping the public
money, which had been in successful opera
[ | l Don for a few years previous to the passage of
( ,_ the deposite act of 1830, became partially
, r eminmissed by carrying into effect some of
its provisions. But the enforcement of them
u| all, where not entirely perfected, was in sea
sonable progress to May last, when the
Department was compelled by the act to give
a- notice to such of the selected banks ns had
8. suspended specie payments that they con’d
re no Ibnger ho considered as general clepositu
:s nos Os thc public moneys,
s- A list, is annexed of all before employed in
e- that capacity, which have been discontinued.
J After duo enquiries to procure other depusi
-10 lories, in conformity to Hits net, the Depart
'd mom has completed the appointment of only
l1 > one. This and four more that have not sns
i pended,with one that has resumed specie pay
>' ments, (making six in all) constitute the pro
sent hank depositories for general purposes.
During the inability to obtain specie-paying
\ banks at other points, the Treasurer, being re
quired by the closing part of the Bth section
of the act, to keep unn disburse the public
moneys according to Ihe laws before in force,
1 has done it in conformity to the very wide
l! discretion which existed when no rules were
1 m force,that had been prescribed by Congress,
r except to "keep" and “disburse the same”
under tbo genera! superintend;! nee of the Sec
retury ot the Treasury. A part of it, there
e fore, has been kept in special deposilo in this
city, a portion in the mint, and the residue
with the officers collecting it,until it was wan
ted for public purposes, or until it accnmula
” ted in such sums nt any point as not to be,
’ probably, wanted there tor such use. In the
first case, it has from time to time, been np
-1 plied to the payment of creditors, by dmlis
s on the receivers or collectors; and in the last
the excess lias been temporarily placed with
’ thc banks not remotely situated, iiml in spe
cial deposite for safety, until wanted for ex
penditure elsewhere; or until some newlegis
-5 lation shall lake place in relation to it.
Under these circumstances, the department
would respectfully suggest, some provisions
which may he more specific, and may be re*
' quired for the safe keeping and disbursing ot
! the public moneys.
’ In the present condition of the government
| and the country, two systems are proposed,
either of which, it is believed, may be pructi
| cubic and adequate to the exigencies of thc
' crisis. One is, an enlargement and adaption
! oflhe system partially employed since the
suspension of specie payments, so ns to make
! it answer all necessary purposes. Tills could
1 be effected merely by assigning to our exist
’ ing officers and establishments some addiUon
’ al duties.
1 The Treasury, at the seat of Government;
[ the Mint, with Us brancli at Now Orleans,and
■ another winch has been contemplated, and is
| much needed, al New York, for other ptirpo
! ses; collectors of the customs, and receivers
of money for the sales of land, as well as post
masters, might all bo directed to keep in safe
-1 ty, not only the public money collected hy
them, hut all actually place in their posses
sion, by transfer or olherwis '. As fiscal a
’ gents, they might also be required lo pay over
and Iransler it lor such public purposes as may
’ bo authorized by Congress, and under such
, regulations us the Treasury Department from
time to time may proscribe. Indeed, the 3d
, section of the post office law of 1825, with
' tho bond taken under it ns to the agency of
the postmasters,is, perhup.t, already sufficient
ly broad Cor that clans of officers. At points
like New York, and a few others, whore a
likelihood existed that the sums would perma
nently bo largo, but which, under a reduced
. revenue and expenditure, would seldom oc
cur, authority might ho appoint the
clerks now acting us cashiers and tellers under
tho collectors and receivers, or other more
, suitable persons, to act as keepers and pay
masters of the public money. But they should
ho made independent oflhe collectors and re
ceivers, and placed under the like tenure ot
office, and under suitable bonds. Additional
means of safety, and such additional hut limit
ed compensation to any of tho above officers,
might he provided, ns the increased risk and
labor might render just; but in only a lew cn
, scs would those lust be augmented at any
place.
Taking the year 1834 as furnishing a spe.
cimen sufficiently large of the probable busi
ness in future connected with the general ope
rations of the Treasury Department, hut, of
course, not including ttio separate establish
ment of the post office, the whole number of
warrants issued in that year wits a little under
five thousand,and thouga differing much in ac
tual amount, averaging about $5,000 each.—
This would ho less than twenty warrants a
day, and hence would require less titan one
per day to be paid in each of the twenty six
.States. They differed, in fact, from four per
day in this district, and two per day in New
York, which were the highest numbers,to only
one per week in several ol the .Slates. Thc
business al each office daily, or even weekly,
. in making payments oflhe drafts, would there- (
fore be very little. If more than one draft is- 1
sued on a warrant, the business would be in- 1
creased in that proportion; unless tho whole j
payments were reduced, as is p-obnble, here- i
after, to sixteen or seventeen millions yearly.
In regard to the risk, live millions in the
Treasury at anyone time, if ah placed in tho
hands of collectors am! receivers, would not,
on an average, exceed §'30,000 with each ol t
the present number.
But if the amount, besides one million in m
the mint, was chiefly in the hands of half the' )
present number, which would approach nearer
to the probable result,the sum with each would
still be less than most of the existing bonds of
receivers; and when exceeding theirs,or those
oflhe principal collectors, the excess, in most
cases, could he readily prevented, or reduced,
hy heiig drawn out to pay creditors, or be ■
conveniently transferred to the Treasuroy of
rite United States, at the seat of Government,
or to the Mint and its branches. Until one ol
the latter is authorized at A r ew York, the sub- i
stitule before mentioned, of one of the present (
officers in tho customs there rs an indepen- (
dent 1 ceperand paymaster oflhe public mo- .
ney, could bo adopted, and,if deemed prudent,
be extended to any ( liter similar place.
In tins mode, "Jie present number of officers
connected with trie collection
oflhe revenue throughout tho United Stales
need not beat all increased. Nor will it be
come necessary, except in a few cases, lo aug
ment their compensation. Twenty or tinny
thousand dollars a year would probably cover
the whole additional expense of every kind.
VII. ON THE MONEY RECEIVABLE FOR
PUBLIC DUES.
The kind of money or currency receivable
for public dues, is another embarrassment,
concerning which legislation has been deemed
proper by many. A change in the existing
practice has been requested hy others, without
e legislation. But, since the suspension ofepr
i- cie payments by the banks, no change wind
I- wood sanction the receipt of bank p.incr no
e redeemable in specie, h.is been though citin'
t prudent or permissible by this Department
d Nor will such an one he adopted without tin
L express direction of congress.
Believing that specie is the best standard
n and the only one contemplated by Ihe consti
lit Mon,for the public revenue and expenditures
ns well as for the value of contracts and pro
perl), every departure (rout it for thosepttrpo
: scs is deemed hy the undersigned pernicious
it not unconstitutional. The question as b
f the expediency of using any oilier median
y for a currency, is ofa different character, am
f more complicated. But the ruinous conse
t qitencesofa resort, lo continental money, billi
■ ot credit, or any species ofpaper not reitoemu
) blc in specie,& which had been developed mom
i own experience,as well as in the soundest then
1 nea ot political economy, were undoubtedly a
1 principal cause for those rigiil provisions in
• the Constitution connected with me currency
They restrict any State from issuing inert
i “hills of credit,” Irom mn|<ing any thing a ion.
■ tier “except gold and silvet,” or passing any
• law "impairing the obligation ot contracts,’
■ us well as confine to Congress alone I lie
' power “to com money” and "regulate the
■ value thereof.” The exercise of this lasi
power, manifestly rela’ing only to metallic
• money, appears lo require merely the coinage
ofa sufficient supply at the mint, and in con*
; veniont .denominations for all necessurv pur
poses, anil of such an intrinsic value, us,while
preventing it from being depreciated on the
one hand, should, on the other, not be so un
derrated as to cause it to be too readily expor
ted, or melted down for use in manufactures.
