DEPARTMENT OF STATE.
{ Continual.)
The Fourth Jludilor's Office.
Iti-* rcui.iikc«l that, in this office, there ha-' beer
an extraordinary increase of expenditure. Fur the
last six years, it stands thus:
1322, £ .J53 52
1823, t>yy jo
182 i, J ,636 01
1825, 1,226 01
1326, 3,73237
1827, 27
It is necessary here lr repeat a rein uk which
has been aheady made, namely, that the expendi
ture of a given year being greater than that cf a
preceding year, i« no proof of extravagance, but
may really be owing to the smallness oi tin; pre
ceding expenditure. That this was the case in the
i mirth Auditor’s office, is quite certain, l't r,
iipon estimates furnished by the Department, in
Congress, iu the year 1822, appropriated for thi
office, one thousand dollars, which was thought
necessary for the service; yet, in tint year, only
£153 32 were expended; in 1823, 1,65') dollars,
wero estimated and appropriated ami only COD dol
lars 19 cents expended; in 1821, before the present
Auditor was appointed, 1,800 dollars were esti
mated and appropriated, being within 200 dollars
of what has been allowed for any subsequent venr.
Now, it in two years, £2,650 were thought1 ne
cessary fur the service, and only 1,143 dollars Cl
cents were expended, it must be evident, that the
apparent saving could not haye been without the
consequences already mentioned, and explains
ufUriently why the expenditure afterwards Was
greater, lint it is duo to the present officer tosav,
that tins increase has not been ow ing to hitu, toi
the estimate of 1,600 di Mars was made some lour
or five months before lie came into the office. The
• uso of the reduced expenditure in 1822 5- 3, is
to be found in (ho history of the r-ffice. The pre
decessor of (he presont officer died in the month of
June, 1824, cf a lingering illness, as appears from
the fact, that the appropriation law or 1826 al
lowed to Thomas 11. (Jillis. chief clerk in the of
(ir.e, a compensation of 930 dollars, “ for perform
ing the service of the said Auditor during his last
Illness, from the Sih of October, 1S25, to the 23d
of June, 1821.” Recurring now to the items of
expenditure in (he remainder of that year, and the
firee following years; it will he found that, in 182 J
anti 1823, they consisted chiefly r-f tl|« necessary
stationery,including blank books, forms, lie., am!
of necessary repairs and office furniture. In 1825,
there was added extra clerk hire C77 dollars, and
hi 1827, extra clerk hire SCO dollars, which must,
i f couise, have been uuthoii/.od bv the Secretary
<>. the Treasury, upon the ground of their necessi
ty. These, it will readily be observed, arc pro
< ic!y the items in which an increased expense
would be required to biing up arrears, and put the
office upon an efficient fooling. Resides, the num
ber of vessels and men employed in the naval scr
ice has been augmented, and, of course, (he num
ber ol accounts to be settled The total estimates
arid appropriations for the last six years were
19,460 dollars, and the total expenditure was 7 J*70

It must be evident, upon a little reflection, that j
ifi ccnt.ht-ii.n to be relied upon can be derived from *
*'otnjjai.'fia one office with another; ns for example, I
the FourtTi Auditor with (ho Third,or (lie Filth, The ;
Vvpense of each me *( depend upon the nature of j
31 business. The Fourth Auditor is tho account- |
i fig officer of the Navy, ,.r>d Lii service requires •
very expensive books and rmi, wl.irh swell the

Neither is the comparison to ho rrJicd upon
which suppo-e* the coating* ncies to hear a piopor- j
lion to the number cf Clciks. la addition to tin- J
reasons already given, there is one which i- entire ,
ly conclusive. Among the contingenc ies of the '
fourth Auditor’s Olliie tor lr>2G, there is an item
lor extra <. !cik hire, ol $U77; ami in ol
$:iy«, together, $1*77. Now, this is owing to the
small number of Clerks, and uot to the great num
ber. The extra Clvik hire, was necosury, be
cause the permanent Clerks were nut equal to the J
businov.
ilut, after all, the difference is not so. great as
seems 'o be supposed. Tukiitg six y eais past, they
stand thus .
Third Auditor, $5,<103 f)'-l
Fourth Auditor. 7,is7t* 2d
For the same period, the First and Third Auditor
stand thus :
First Auditor, $2,017 b!>
't hird Auditor, 5,GUu f t
A greater difference than between the two 1< ; -
liter, but by no means leading to any belief Uml
tiiu latter are oxtravojjaul. Jl depends upon the
nature of the otlicc.
i hat dillcruicc is well understood, uml the
in.iiincr ot in ope ration exactly cum-idcicil, is evi
dent fioiu litis; that tho estimates uud uppropiia’ion

as iinirli as the expenditures. In the yc ns 1S21-5,
they were as follows :

1 ha whole question is, therefore, a question of
detail?, and got ol rompaiison of one year with a
nother, or of one oiiicu with another. It requires
an examination cf the items and ol the vouchers ; ]
auil as that lias been douo in prcpaiing the esti
jiiates and in settling the accounts ; as tho expen- j
dilutes have been annually presented ; anti the ]
vouchors remained open to tho inspection of the
, eoiuiuitteesof the House for that purpose appointed;
| and us, wilh.il, the service has been cllicieutly
j performed ; the minority of the Committee see no |
I ground for doubt. 1 hey think the explanation ot !
itiie Forth Auditor, it: his letter laid he fire the !
Committee, entiiely ntixfuetory. As to the neces
sity ol aiiumtl estimates, they fully agree to it, and
1 *7 would he inexcusable in Congress, if they were
I not required. Hut they me required, and they .no 1
• fin uished.
; ii uiujr iiu i-o mougm irnt me minority ct (lie
j Committee have dwelt tco long ami loo 'minutely
, upon this pail of the inquiry. But it seemed due
! (o the officer, w ho might appear to be implicated;
! 'Ui'l it was due to House and the country, that eve
j ry Miggcssioii of extravagance should bo thoinugh
1 ly investigated, in order that it found to exist, it
might ho corrected ; and if not fou ml to exist, the
public miiyt might he informed and quieted.
There will he no necessity to go into an inves
tigation of a similar kiml as to the Second Auditor,
or any other ol the offices-'. Their accounts were
before the Committee. I he j.iinciplcsof investi
gation are the same, and the results would be the
same. Of this, the miuciity ol the Committee are
wi'll satisfied, and it would be an itseless expendi
ture of time and trouble to go through them.
They will only add, therefore, Unit by the net
of20th February, i319,lhe Second Auditor, in ad
dition to his foi titer duties was charged with the i
examination ol all unsettled.accouuts atising out of
Indian Affairs.
W Idle upon (he subject of the Treasury, it may
ho proper to advert to an occurrence in the office
of the late Treasurer of the United States, one cf j
I tin? oldest and mo?t approx t officers of t!jo Go- i
j vernnirnt, and a most estimable citizen. it ap
j peared, from the examination ol witnesses, that
the Chief Clerk of the Treasurer, Samuel Brooks, I
who had been, for thirty years, employed in that
service, became intiAn Horn age,and, his strength
and laculties declining, he was, at length, rather a
hindrance than a help to the business. His sala
ry was isl.TOO a year. That the growth of his in
iirmitics was known to Congress, is very evident;
tor, in tli« year 132 J, uu assistant was, Ly I
j law, allowed to the “ Chief Clerk” with a com- I
j pensation of 199 dollars a year, which has |
j sn*cc been provided lor by the appropriation laws. ]
, 1 lie i.itii iniiy ot this aged servant of the public, !
having, at last, arrived at tho point of incapacity
above stated, and he being in very poor circum
stances, as appears from the testimony of Mr.
bourse, an arrangement was made, by which the
salaries of the other clerks were respectively ml
, vancc.1, m the whole, £!)0(», and he w as reduced
| to the salary of $800, being the lowest in the office
: except of the assistant clerk. By thisan angenmiit.
; it w:d bo seen that the whole amount of clerk l ire
i was not increased. The other cl •rks did more
wenk than they had done before, or otherwise ’
would have done. Theirpay was as follows:

: „ ljc seen, .s precisely o:ic or those
, cases, which wjll sometime?, but very rarely oc
; £.ur, presenting difficulties not easily hi,posed of
Congress seem to have felt their full force. In an"
j instance stated, incidentally, in the letter of tl,u
Fourth Aumtor, his predecessor appears to liave
rej orted the fact, that one of his clerics, who had
i’et‘n ,nor® t{> twenty-live years in the office, h . I
become blind and superannuated, and unable to
render any service; yet, Congress had continued 1
the annual appropriation for his compensation. J‘ :
further appears, that Congress allowed a canipen
sa.ion to nil. Gillis lor h.- sc: •. ices during the uro

And, ini the very cu-e row under consideration,

t.unity rendered him unable to perform Ti it
under these circumstances, and with this iiiti.-nj-*
(ion ut Lie opinion ol Congress, it was the duty of
t.ic late treasurer to turnout the r.ged servant to

would be sorry to lie obliged to affirm. There 1

to be determined upon iUown circumstances, < di

over it may seem necessary and practicable, in

arrangement above stated; it is due to hi = » -moi v
to say, that he did it with tiro knowledge of Can

it ought not to be alluded to reproachfully.
I here was an examination of witnesses, aGo
before th° committee, with respect to a cl-rk in
the office of the Keglstcr of the Treasury; but .
it did not ci,tablis!i any thing calculated todi-.. ,;- !
age the services ot tiio individual in question, and
the l.cgister, an old and valuable public servant,
mid a good judge, estimated them highly, (as will 1

I lie act ot the :id Marclt, 1817, was passed up
on great deliberation, and w ith the benelil ol the
be-i lights that could be obtained, lly a resolution
ol the Senate, ol the iiUth April, 1815, the secieta
r,Ua were rcqmied jointly to icpon •• a plan to en
sure the annual settlement ol .he public account-,
and a more certain accountability of the public ex
penditure, in their respective departments.” On
t.io utii Oec-.-mber, 18ld. a re,ion Wa- -i.ruou
by Jumo> Monroe, William II. Crawton!, (Icor-.

' i Jdoptc«l the plan recommended,
e-tu.i.i.hed the offices, and as.-i^ned to them liicir
respective duties, subject to certain alterations,
permitted to lie made by the Executive.'
1 he minority ol the Coininiutce perceive nothing
in the hi.-tory ol this plan, to induce a belief tlia"
it was temporary, or intended only (or a. particular
occasion. On the cuntiary, it vva> eviden !y in ant
to ho a permanent arrangement, pro. ided—'.he
only sense in which any such plan can be intend
ed to be poiluuuent—it siiouJd lm lound to answer
its purnose.
K may he affirmed, therefore, in the first place-,
that It has groat authority in its favor from the cha
racter and knowledge of ii,oso who devised, and
id tho,u who adopted it. as well as from the deli
beration with which it was introduced.
In the next place it may b.- observed, that its
objects were ot the highest importance—“ toin
.-tire the annual settlement of the public account',
and a more ccitain uccountability of the public
c.-pcndiiiirc, in which the lor.ncr plan is sunoos
ed to have hei u delieient.
And in the last place, it may be observed, that it
-iis not disappointed the o:p.-< tat ion that it v.oul.

would be the consequence.' TJiat no account*
would be settled. Those who propo ed, and those

what was that in comparison will, th- prompt -el

If it be within the range of their duty, the mi

superintendence of a mind accustomed to, and em

be devolved upon the Aflo,ney (.'cnetod, with an
incrc.iso ot salary, and a restriction of practice, i*
< question upon which they would, not tin In take
to-peak too positively. It depends upon consido
i at tons w I tie 11 tney have not had time nor oppor

economy ol disbursement iu Ibis branch, n favorite
object witli patriotic statesmen. On the Accession
ol Mr. Monroe to the Presidency, a more ellieteiit
organization, and a more energetic administration,
were introduced into the Army, by the late Secre
tary of W ar. 1 luce years afterwards, a red union ;
too. place of the Army itself, to three* fifths of its j
‘. inner size, by an act of Congress passed lot that 1
o.joe.t. \ corresponding diminution of expendi
lure, of course, resulted from tliis reduction; and
hom that lime to ihj present, the tendency of the
Department him been to a retrenchment of ex
pense; an-, in ih - items and branches dependent
mi Uni administration of the Department, a dimi
nution id expenditure has been effected under its
present head.
un me organization or tho Committee of Ke
ircm lmient, n copy of the circular letter already
ajlud. .. to, was sent to liie Department of War.—
l iom the coinmnittcatiou of the Department, re
7 *'» *'«ply, tin* minority of the committee beg
leave to make tlu» following extract : “ To inani
tea', to Hie sati-I.u tion of the Committee this eco
nomical tendency, 1 have caused a synopsis to be
prepared of the disbursement* for the la-t 1) years,
i:tv nle:| into period-: the lirst embracing from 1319
* . a ‘‘iclu-ive; the second, from 1522 to
1;3_1; and :t:.* P'ird, liom 132s to 1327. Byrcfer
i mg to the heai.j subject to the discretion ol the
Department, it will be seen that the amount of dis
bursement.- has been lessened. The item in tho
Quarter m aster s Depart incut, in the lirst period,
)V I; tD.331,013, (omitting parts of a dollar); in the
’ •'7'-•»**->-a; and, altho’ the greater number of
(loop-, in the lirst pel tod, mu-t be taken into (lie
account, yet, after making die proper allowance
Joi this circumstance, -ti;I the relative saving must
n ooviou*. So, also, with the contingencies oi the
Aimy. In the hr -t period, this item of expense a
mounted to $l6d,10C; in tiro latter, to $39 391
and, comparing tho lir.-t year, 1319, in the iir-t se
rms, wuh the la-t year in the last scries, 1827,
u villi lie found, in the former case.tli.it it amount
ed to 82,000 live hundred tc sixty three dollars,end
m t.m latter to $10,922. So, also, with the contin
gencies of die Indian Department. In the second
! I,c* ,0,h(btlore which the contingencies were blend
j ed with the pay of agents, 5cc.) they amounted to
Cv*Io,Jo!i; in the last, to >292,300; -hewinga sav
uig in that branch of ex >eiulilurc of $22,159 in 0
l yeai s. v
| ^ It '»iil be observed, that the foregoing summary
I statement was accompanied, as is observed by the
| b' c,'V,ur> • tables Shewing the amount of ex
j pend ture of three p 'riods of ilueo years each. It
[ coul.. net, therefore, have been the object of the
secretary to suppress the s. corn! period, anJ bring
i.iio ,ns own administration, into a comparison
i willi the lust period alone. Neither could ir have
been Ins design to conceal tiro fact, that a part of
the reduction ol die expenditure w as owing to the
i eduction ol die Army Jrom 10,000 men to G,U0l);
, lu? xpi cs-ly refers to this reduction, and makes
al owancj lor its effect. Jlis ol.jcct wastoillus
‘i-ue die position, that the tend-ricy of the Depart
meut w.i- to economy, in those branches of ex
penditure which nrc uuthm the control of the lie
port meat; and certainly no belter method of doing
,, vxistcil, than to Compare tho lir-t period witii
the last; shewing, ihereby, the extent to which
die rcticnciiinetit nad gone; but with no illiberal
design ot iiitriimung that the reduction ha,I not
bren progressive, thro’ the second period, or that
the credit ol it was duo exclusively lo the preseut
adiiiimstrauon ol the Department. 1
II. indeed, it can be made to appear, either that
he l>roe, s- ol n-tr- i.rlimvnt has been checked, or
that discretionary exp miit.ne has unnecessarily
nit leased, under d.e present Admin!siration, then
t/fcouise it must forfeit. if «W:a to d.e ci-2.1a

i ho minority of the Committee will accordin''
iy ox.'imn ili • tacts, on which both these charges
1»‘!‘;i» intimated against the piesent Adminis
U..ll,o«ol die apartment. It has been staled dmt
while lli ; business cf the department has greatly
decrea- ,!, in .-omo of its branches, particularly in
mo bounty land and pension offices, the number of
clerk-now employed, i * as largo as it was nine
year- ago, when tho business was perhaps ten
loil as great. Inconsequence of tho diminution
o. busm.'s-, it has been alleged, that n system of
rcduc/ng tho number of clerks had been com
menced, under the lata administration of diode
parhium*., by refraining Iron, Idling vacancies as
tuey occurred, wlmii.Jioivever, have since been
by the present Secretary, although it cannot
’,J doubted that there has been a considcrnble de
erc «se oi bn-iiiess, s:»:co be came into office.
1 aero appears i:i this assumed staleincflt uf facts,
?oni:! '-^apprehension, which die minority a-k
icavu rectify. In 1319, there were thirty-seven
, s ,il 1,10 department proper. On die accession
o| the present Secretary, ho found seventeen
