?Sir : In consequence of the rrport made
in pah the Solicitor of the Treasurv. on
the examination! by him and yoqrsHf into
the accounts ofv the late collector at iNew
Tork, 1 wish now to call yonr immediate
attentiori to a tew considerations :
' lst. I think ajj circular should be issued
by you to- all natal officers, - calling thir
prompt and carelul attention to their offi
cial duties', in check of any. error, or wrong
: by collectors, j.-jlj I'.; j; . ; '"
Qd That'an examination be made in every
case of any considerable balance reported as
unadjusted or due, to see if the bonds and
money purporting to be on hand, or which
ought to on hand, are so in point of fact.
This can be done: by letters to the eollec
.tore, stating that recent events have render
ed the inquiry ; proper; and that the naval
officers, or district attorneys in eases where
there are no naval officers, will make the
scrutiny, and certify on the subject, both as
to the! bonds and nioney. i,
Sdi. 2 Wish increased attention given to
the examination on settletnents here of the
bond accounts of collectors ; and in your
office as well as in the Auditor's, all neces
sary Torre employed to make the present le
gal check's ia" efficient as possible.
4Plea6e to adpjt any i additional step
which! hat occurred to you for discovering
any errors, an'd for securing the Public a-
gainat losses. , : ;

The recent developement of the,
