This defalcation is the more to be regretted on ac count of the many amiuble traits in the cha racter of the late Treasurer,' and repeated testimonials given by the Legislature of un liniited and unshaken confidence in his ho nesty and integrity. The balance, accord ing to the Comptroller's Statement of the 31st of October, 1827, at the tie bit of, the Treasurer, amounts to 8116,958 44 cents. It appears from the books of the. Literary Fund remaining in InTreasury Office, that there is a balance 'against the; Treasurer of S28,184 32j- cents; and that, there is also due to the fund of Internal Improvement the sum of &23, 195 15 7-8 cents. It moreover appears from the Comptroller's b6oks, that onthe;19tU of October, 1820, Robert Coch ran, Collector of the port of Wilmington, paid into the handsof the Public Treasurer the sunf of ?S928 70 cents, and that James Owen, Cojlt t tor uf suid port, on the 30th of March, I822,ls paid into the Public Trea sury; the' sum 'of B167 35 cents, amounting to the sum of jri;G96 5 ctnts which sums were paid pursuant'io an act of the Gtneral Assembly of 1817, entiiied ''An act for, the relief of sick and disabled seamen," and cou fu iiied by an 'act of tiie-CongVesa of the U.

That in addition to these sums, the i reasurer is entitled to a credit of &3, 1 13 30 cen.s, being a balance in his favor for receipts and disbursements since the close of the last fiscal year, and to a credit of 305 'doliars, being so much ad vanced by him to public officers, for, which receipts were taken, and which were not pre sented to the Comptroller in the settlement of his fiscal accounts of the present year, and a further sum of 14 73.1 cents for dis bursenients on account of: the Agricultural Fund. :;"-'-::;'' ' V- ;f,.-'v: l: rt moreover appears to your committee, that, in the year 1826, the Public Treasurer purchased of Benjamin A. Barham 30 shares of the Capital Stock of the Bank of Ne wbern at. par, and obtained .a power of attorney, authorising the transfer thereof; that .the same has not been made in consequence of the loss of said power. The said Bai ham has given a written acknowledgment of the said purchase, and of his readiness to make a transfer to the State when required. The ?um of three thousand dollars being the price paid for these shares, should, in the opin ion of your committee, be credited to the late Treasurer, deducting therefrom the sum of one hundred and five dollars, which the isa d Barham received as the last dividend on the said stock and paid to ihe late Trea surer, and which stock has not been brought into his account withMhe Comptroller, mak ing the sum of S2S95, which, being added to the above mentioned sums, will make an aggregate of S10 1,089 17-s, to the Treasu rer's credit; and deducted Irom the above sum of Sl69,72p 97v7-8, will leave the ba lance of S68, 63 I 80 3-8, as aforesaid, . ; Your committee found m the Treasury Offke the sum of S3 29 45, in counterfeit : ml imutilated hills, prt in the emissions of J7S3 and 1785, and the remainder in Bank totes. i o'.t r. com ijiiiiee eiuenain mc opin ion that these biJls must have been received account of debts due to the State, which e Frr is titer, out of delicacy, declined claiming a credit for. It submitted to the , In The prosecution of this inquiry, your committee, have examined all rsuch witnes ses as they had reason to believe could afForcI any information on the sub jet t of their in vestigations; a statement of whose testimo ny accompanies this repoVt. , How this defalcation has arisen, or at what time it occurred, your committee are 18161 'bat it anpears that these issues were made: by the Treasurer and appropriated in the 'payment of stock of the Banjis of Capo ijarj, Newbern, and "State Bank, agreeably tbt be provision of said acts; and.it appears frn tlie Comptroller's rjeport, that the sura VJioo,000 dollgrs required to be issued by the act of 1823, has ben issued, and stoctr purchased with the same. Of this sum or S262,000 in Treasury notes," issued as afore saidAthe sum of Sf3531 95d have been redeemed and burnt, and the sum of S.l 8,890, unable to ascertain. If the renort'of the .101 mentioned as being in the Treasury, Treasurer made! to the 'General Assembly ; has been redeemed and remain subject to of 1826 was correct, it would seem necessa- ' the disposal of the Legislature; which leav es rily to have occurred during the last fiscal! a.Vallnce.of the issues aforesaid now in cir ittee are constrained ittilation, or which has- been. destroyed, to . . ' - - L I " i. .' J- '' - i 1 Jk "' 't--' fill year; but your committee to believe, that it niust have taken place le- iurr, ana mat ine aeunquency nas qeen Kept from public detection by some means which they are unable satisfactorily to account for. The sum is too large to have been used by the Treasurer in any one' year, and no evi dence has appeared to your committee that the T reasury has been robbed or any mo neys stolen therefrom. Notwithstanding, your committee hazard the opinion that this delinquency must have occurred before tlie commencement of the last fiscal year; yet they ran only; conjecture that it has arisen eit her from a want of system in the manage ment of the transactions of the department, or the gradual use of the public moneys to meet private demands, occasioned by the want of energy and economy in the manage ment of .his estate; for your committee are sensible that he has not at any time used the public moneys for' purposes ofspeculation; but, on he contrary, that he has sold pro-perlv-Twithjn the last fifteen years to an a mount greatly exceeding his purchases. According to the Treasurer's report' of 1826 aforesaid, he must have had in the vaults of the Treasury Office on the 31st of October of that year, the sum oP 884, 220 87; that his deposites in Bank amounted to 84,248 0 1 ; by which it appears that the sum re ported to be retained in the Treasury to meet the demands or expenditures of the day, wa? nearly equal to the amount deposited in the Bank. - "' Your committee find, that between the 2 J and 13ih of February, 1827, the Treasurer checked ontbe State Bank for ihe sum of Sla,625, and on the Newbern Bank from the 3d of January to the 1 2th of February, the day on which the Geueral Assembly of 1826 adjourned, to the amount of S 1 8,830. This practice of keeping considerable sums in the Treasury to 'meet current de mands, appears to have obtained ever since the;amount of ; g 1 69, 577$Ss7 Thc worn condition ot these notes will naaouiu cause a considerable return in the course "of tho presert fiscal year, and probably increase the demands on the Treasury. The committee here refer to sundry ac--counts and statements, marked from A to K, asTtexhibiting the facts herein reported: Y.ourcbmmiUeecnteitain the opinion that there! are deficiencies in the laws respecting the bonds required tojae gi.ven by, the. Trea--surerthe acts of the General Assembly of 1784and 1801, providing that the Treasu rer shall give bond within thirty days after his Appointment, to be madevpavable to, and approved by the Governor, anu'filed in tho Comptrolh r's office. To permit a fiscal officer toenter into the administration of his office, before giving bond for the; faith ful discharge of the duties thereof, is an evi dent relaxation of that system of accbunta- -bility which oughf always to be rigidly re- -quired by the Legislature, the evil of 'which , is manifest in the present case; for your committee find tht there has been no offi cial bond given by the lateI' ueasurcr" for the last fiscal yeai . This neglect is not at tribu table to the Governor: for it appears to -y our committee'that shortly after the ex piration of thirty days", from theippoint merit, he did apply to the late Treasurer for a bond, (although not required to do $o by law:) but there being no other legislative provisiorohau requiring him to approve of and receive the Treasurer's bond, he had no means of enforc ing a compliance. Notwithstanding your committee are ap prehensive that the State will sustain a I)S3 by tjie defalcation aforesaid, they trust it will not be consilerable. The personal re presentative of tile late Treasurer, and every member of his family of competent age, to whom any part of his estate has been devised pr bequeathed, have come forward with a to be made in the Banks; but the amount re ported in .1826 is so far exceeding the a mount retained in any preceding year, as to create a suspicion at least that this state ment must have een illusory; for it appears unaccountable to ; your committee why: so large a sum should be kept in the Treasury when the operations of the department could have been conducted by the means of checks on the Banks, without any risk and with much less inconvenience to the Trea surer. ; . : ; v y ". ; The practice of keeping a part of the funds of the- State in the Treasury Office to meet daily claims, and the remainder in the Ban k s, o b v i o usly increases the difficulty of detecting any illusory stattmenr 'of the ac tual condition of the Treasury, inasmuch as the sums reported in deposite to the credit of the Treasurer in the Batiks tit the close of the fiscal year, may be . drawn out the next day, and applied to meet daily claims, and Supply any deficit in the amount report ed 'in the Treasury Office. , It appears to your committee that in some cases large sums have been received in deposite at the State' Bank, contained in trunks, and taken oat in the same condition in a short time thereafter; and that in the year 1823, a spe cial deposite was made in the State Bank of money in a trunk, Said to contain' the sum of g. 6,296 12; and that a like special depo site ias made in the Bank of Newbern in the year 182 1 of the sum of S6000, and in j the 1 reasurer s Reports ol those years, he states these sums as standing to his credit on the bpoks of the Banks; which . conse quently madei a discrepancy between his reV pons and theisums standing to his ci-edit in the booksof the Banks. It also appear to your committee that these special depo sites were taken out of the Banks in the same condition in a short time. The State owns in the Capital Stock of the State Bank of North Carolina two thou sand seven hundred and sixty two shures; in the Bank of Newbern, the dividends on which are appropriated to the fund for In ternal. Improvements, 1304 shares; and also in said Bank of Newbern 359 shares, the di vidends on which are appropriated to the Literary Fund; and in the Bank of Cape jFear 1358 shares the dividends on whfch are also appropriated to the fund; for Internal Improvements; and in the said Bank of Cap Fear 704 shares appropriated to the Litera ry Fund; mating an aggregate of 6487 shres, of SlOO each, amounting to 648,700 dollars; and also 78; shares belonging to the Literary Fund. Treasury Notes have been issued pursu ant to the acts of the General Assembly of the y-ars 1814, 1816 and, 18 J3, to the amount of S262,000J There appears no account to be found in the office of the Comptroller nor any statement in the Treasury Deparf ment, of a charge against the Treasurer, or a credit for the disposition of the issues of gl62,00, pursttant to thro acts t)f 18 14, and r7tr-HiM,'Mthy ;iibenilityil--lTI:- to- sur-- render all the estate to meet. this deficiencV, and conveyances have been executed by the acting executor of all the slaves and such part of the real estate as he was authorized to convey; and also by such of the devisees as are of lawful age, of tneir respective claims to the real estate. Your committee having no authority to make any arrangement of this kind, the said conveyances have been placed in the hands" of oie of its members, with a request that they should be submitted to the General Assembly fur their Approbation, and with an assurance thatjh case the conditions contained iri tiro ouveyance of the personal property should riot meet their apprdbation, that any other conveyance shall be executed. ..Your committee find, that there are bonds in the Comptroller's Office, given by the "Pub lic Treasurer from the year 1819 to 1825 in clusive, and submit to the. wisdom of the Le gislature whether measures shoufd not be ta ken to recover out of the securities of the said bonds, or either jof them, so much of the a bove deficit, which the estate of the late Trea surer shall be insufficient to pay.
