It will be remembered that one single article of the ““reaty” takes from the national Treasury $3,500,000, and the whoe amount required to satisfy it would be not less, it is estimated by good judges, than $13,000,000—all to satisty a treaty made between the United States and a handful of its own citizens, ja looking turougn the law library of the Supreme Court I stumbled upon an old document which, though generally regarded asa dead letier by mod- ern politicians, is said by eminent lawyers to have the lorve Of low at tue preseni time, It is called the Coustitution of the Unwed states, Section one, ar- lcie fourteen, 18 a8 fullows:—“All persons born or Luauraiized in the United States, anu subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United ow, if it ia really true that this old, ovsolcte document has. as 16 claimed, the force of law, it fol- ‘ther Indian, wulte, nor African nor Chi- vf the United States are competent to ut. ha final pas- 2 apy tie session in re origiuatec @ at tne end of the p-culled Liv reaties never die.

As will be seen from what follows this possibility, or probability, or error, looseness and want of regularity was realized; but it is believed that no very extensive losses have occurred in consequence, and it is possible, and, in HOC wArQuces, peruepy provable, that mauy of the digerepanctes reported are ensirely innocent ones, arising from irvegularity in the methed and deiai! racher than from posttive fraud.

Of we “ilve hundred dollar” and “thousand doilar” ponds tie Natonal Bank Note Company charge as delivered 70,000 of the “tive hun- dred,” aguinst 70,000 stated in the table as received, and 110,753 of the “one thousand dollar,” against 140,650 in the table. This diiverence of three in the ‘ ve hundred dollar” boads is accounted for by deliv- eries of ove bond, cancelled, to Mr. Walker, one to Mr. Harrmgton and one to Mr. 5. M. Clark, after being printed and before deiivery to the Register, under the orders of the departiuent; and ‘the diference in the $1,000 is accounied for a3 follows:—ihree im the same way as im the case of the $500 and $:00 by that number of dupii- cates printed and delivered to supply tiat number stolen by one Whittlesey, a clerk in the treasury Department. Of these hundred bonds ninety-nine were afterwards recovered and destroyed, the cer- tilicate of which destruction was suown to the com- mirtee, leaving One VOUT stttt outstanding. Of the Tegistered bonds of this loan the fifty dollar and $100 were printed in the ‘Treasury Priuting Burean, and the $509 and $1,000 and $5,000 and $0,000 the National Bank Note Company. ‘The deuv. cries of the ifttes and $100, as claimed by the Chief of the Printing Bureau, agree with the ac- knowledgments of tue regisver of the five hundreds, thousands, five thousands and ten thousands, ‘Tae deliveries appear to be in excess of the amount re- ceived in the tabie three each, which are accounted for by a delivery of ove for Mr. Harrington, one ior Mr. Walker, and one to the ortice of the Secretary of the Treasury, where it was retained. The notes in the table respecting twelve one thousand dollar bonds, aid to be incorrectly issued, is based upon the fact appearing in the testimony of Mr. Nicho- las, on an erroncous issue of registerel bonds where coupous were desired. The regis- tered “bonds were recaiied and cancelled, and coupon bonds issued in their piace. The next is the three-year seven-thirty notes under the act of July 17 and August 6, 1861. These notes were printed by the American Bank Note Company. Of the issue of August 19, 1461, Lhe accounts o1 all the denominations correspond, and they are all accounted for, Of the issue of October, 1561, culled the second series of the fifty dollars, tae American Bank Nove Company printed and delivered 115,502, while the oMcers of the Treasury account for only 115,219, leaving a difference of 2x3 notes, Of the one hundreds tae company delivered 123,00) of which the Treasury oileers account tor 119,927, including two deitvered to J. J. Aithaus as duplicates to replace notes destroyed, leaving a dit- ference of seventy-three notes. The $500 of this is- sue are all accounted for. Of the $1,000 the Ameri- can Bank Note Corupany delivered 43,540 notes, and the oficers ount for 43,490, leaving a difference of fifty. Of the five thousands maty Was the American Bank Note Company detivered 2,225, of which toe Treasury odicera account for 2.146, leaving seventy-nme unaccounted for, ‘These missing notes were received at the Treasury Departmeut from the American Bank Note Company, as appe: from the vook on Whict Were eniered the receipts of notes and other securities kept a that time by Mr. Shannon; and no entry in any book re- Spectiag the dispusiiion of ihese massing notes can be found, It 1s thought by Mr, Shannon himself, who was examined as a witness, and other gill- cers of the Treasury, that these notes were destroy ed in course of business, and the specific certti- cate of their destruction, which in | the usual course of business should have been forthcoming, has been lost, and in support of this theory there was produced to the commutvee a certificate of destruction of other securities by J. C. Underwood and others, dated January 27, 1464. It is seen from the table tuat the redemption of tis Mareh, 1869 lad not reacaed e numoer’ appearing by the lb. oks to have 1. ‘This fact supports ia some degree We ‘aised Upon the Lestimony that no fraud A committed on the governiacot mn respect to them; but the want of any documentary or other Specitic proof secounting for Uiese notes ts, const- dering What ought to be the exactness of such operas lions, guive unsatisfactory, The next securities issued were the demand notes, under the acts of July 17 and August 6 1861, Winch are ail uvcouated lor on the books of the Treasurer. Tn regard to the reemtered and coupon vonds Known es the five-twenties of 1882, first series, ihe varlous discrepancies between the amounts delivered by the American Bauk Note Company and those ac- counted for by tie books of the Register of tue ‘Treasury, are explained by evidence of the cancel. Jation aud destruction of nearly al! of the missin, numbers on account of imperfect printing, &c., aut the delivery of the remaining few to Messrs, Harring ton & Watker. The committee state that the evidence of the destruction of fifty-dve of filty dotlar coupon bonda of the se i series 18 not periect, bat pro- buble. Of the turd series coupon bonds, sa issue, one $100 bond and lus of the $500 bonds not accounted for. The following were deltvered by the Printing Burean to the Register or the i'r surer, aud are je by those oificers respectiv to bave been he i over to @ committee for de struction, or to have been destroyed, viz.:—22,405 of each; 664,40 = of = $190 49,253 bonds of 00 enh; §=86,218 of $1,000 each. Of the $1,000 bonds 75.500 iveres to the Register anc 7,719 to the Treas- v say in teference to we fore- gomg:—‘'The direct evidence is entirely tacomplete to show the destraction of the bonds of this third feries, not issued, and stated in these tables trom the Revister’s books to have been destroyed. No documentary proot of the fact ts to found farther than that the destruction was directed. (See evi- of Marvin.) And the coming in of sundry du- Piicated eoupons of this series produces in the luinds of the committee some solicitade on the Whole subject of this series, although the whole re- demption of coupons does not exceed the amount issued; bat in the case of this series the redemption Of coupons comes so near to the whole Isaue appear- ing on the Register’s books that the duplication can hot be fully explained by the absence of coupons en- trely from some numbers, The order for destruction Appears ta the testimony of Mr. Marvin. The result is that of these bonds which went into the "* omice there are, not satisfactorily avcounted for, of the fifties, twenty-six bonds; ot the hundreds, 7,072; of the five hundreds, 1,037; of the one thousands, 268. More, which went direct to the Treasurer's odlce were not perfect, but marked “statistical—for destruction.” Of these there is no proof of the destruction of one bond of $100 and one hundred and three ponds of $500, All these “statistical” bonds delivered from the Printing Burean to the Treasurer, as proved by Teceipts to (he Printing Bureau, and those stated him as having been destroyed in the Treasurer's books, but there 16 his books of their receipt from the Printing Bureau, nor can any evidence be found of the destruction ot the 104 bonds last nained. It appears from tifleate of the Burning Committee, dated August 1564, that in ten pack of $600 bonds there $: bonds, which leads to the conclusion that there must be an error ia the ac- count or an erroneous printing. Of the fourth series of the coupon bonds of the same issue all are accounted for by the Register and Treasurer a8 cancelled or destroyed, excepting four of $1,000 each, In this connection the committee express the opinion that the practice of counting the biank sheets in certain cases ag if they were printed ts unwise ana Gangerous, ‘as thereby an Op. portonivy t# afforded for fraud, ‘to say nothing of the destruction of large quantities of ‘Hank paper.

Although, a3 a goueral rue, books of receipts, 48 vouchers jor the (ransuiissien of securities Lroa one burewu to anotuer. were kept, yet it appears tuat it has drequeuuy happened that Vouchers would be taken for the jutorcliaave of sevurilies on slips of paver, and given up when seitieueut would be uutde, leaving no recorded evidence of tue tans action, ‘This, 1n connection with the fact that in respect to tle de iverles of Cause securitics irom ba- reau to bureau dud from braack to branch in the de- partment, nO bOOKs or accounts Were kept li the Jorm of debits aud credits, and comparisons made and halaaces struck aud discrepancies discovered, if existiag, a8 in the case of mercandie accounts, has led W @ Very eonsiderabie coaiusion, as will have becn seon by the prececing tables and statements, even supposing the discrepancies before stated to have been the result of merely muocenterror, The oficial force in the various bureaus does not appear vo have thought it among its duties to make com. parisons with the otaer bureaus in ect to the creation and disposition of securities very often, or to ascertain wuethker their correspond- ing bureaus were ¢oxrect in their accounts and proceedings or uoi; and it 18 obvivus toat without such comparison aad criticism of tue respective ac- counts and proceedings the several bureaus are no check upon each other, and indeed, as we Lave said, the books in respect to transmission and delivery of securi when there were any. were so kept as vo make such @ criticism aud comparison slmost im- possible without a general and comprehensive inves- Ugation. Tnis want of proper accounts led, in sone of the bureaus and particularly iu the Register’s ofice, to other evil. A leaaing one will be wen- tioned. It was the course of practice in printog and transmitting securities to that ofice, both trom the bak note com} and ior a while by the Treasury Bureau, to transmit with each thousaad impressions a quantity (usually ten) ol extra impressions not numbered and intended to ve used to supply those of the reguiar numoered class which from time to time mignt be erroneously Hilal up or accidentaily defaced. These extra im- pressions wore cailed the “siock package,” and wheuever there Was cecy jon, ia the course of busi- hess, to use one of them, tne ene aired or be rmpaired would be thrown in ‘ ire ~Niptlerathod destroyed, as i8 stated by the clerks, and unc akon wo supply its place from the “stuck peckaes,) any account or record cing kept of the performance, and without any proot or method of proof of the xctuai destruction of Ube one so actualiy or Ostensibly disposed of. It 13 impoasibie, tberefore, to account, except on very vague evidence, for many of the securities that went into the Register’s oilice, though as to the registered bonds, in Wiuch a considerable extent this loose praciice prevatied, no loss can happen to tue guv- ernment that cannot readily ve devected in the semi- annual payment of mterest; and the commutee are persouaily satisied, from an examination of the in- terest accounts and the inulvidual accounts in the iedgers with the persons to waom bends were regu- larly issued, the total of which makes up the basis of the interest account, that no fraud has been perpe- trated in respect to the registered bonds ta tins Way. The existeuce and redemption of a consideravie number of duplicated notes and coupong have given the committee a considerable degree “ot anxiely, and tuey have devoted ali the time that could be spared ty that purpose to an inquire into and con- siaeration of the causes Wich are suppose. to have Se them; and the explanaiious which have en given by various officiais as appears in the testimony, and as has beea otherwise obtainel by the committee from personal exauinations of these he extent and supposed character of tuese e# appear from the tabie avove inserted. It uns that a very large proportion of these du- plicates ave produced by alterations made alter the securities were tasucd, @ad usually, uo doubt, au cases when the securities had been stolen frou pri- vate holders. This ciass may be Set aside at once as ol nv pecuniary interest to the government, inas- much as tie government su‘fers po juss in conse quence of them. The other cases in which it is certain, or nearly certain, that tne dupiicates are original and are ac- tually composed of securities issued in that form from the depa. tment are more serious and jess @.suy accounted lor, The suggested explanation in iavor of an Muvceat dapiicaiou is, as appeursa from the lesamony, Unat they are mere accwentel errors of persous in charge of the numbering wacuine, by whtca in a givea thousand impressions ©0.ne two or more would be made to bear the saue number, and the number which they suouid have borve was en- Urely omitted on any. lo whuch case, for Instance, 1n # thousand doliar bond there Woaid pe two bun dred five imndreds, and noue numvered tive hundred and one. ‘Then it ta sug ested that such errors being committed they have escaped tac Seruuny of the Various persous yuo examine and count yt ig eee: hui the issues are supposed to muke to Bee tual curite: ed compare in quantity with & of issu 4 in consecuuve numbering ster of issucs hep. in the o WOKS wien tue gister's CECA 'S oilice. Supposing such a course wo lave tacea wace there wuu d Lave beeu no joss to the Treasury, a numerical fr. ofc? and ia tue loan burean of the ecause for every bowd or other security wuich uppeaced in duplicate there would be some otver nulMNver equivaleut euurely Wastuy, leaving the Whole number accually issued Just what it shoud be. But this explanat.ou, of course, smplios that the numerical registers of tssues contained entre of the issues of certain numbers that never were, ia fact, tesued, and assurnlag the numerical registers to have been made up from an actuat comparison of securities as timmy were issued, it implies that sach enires inust have been known to the persons mukiag them, a4 @ raie, to be mutu; but tae testimony Lends to show that the nue of issue are rather theoretical than actu, transactions; that 4, that tue clerks in charse did not compare each issue of the bond by tueir con- secutive numbers With the registry Catrica or make the entries in the register frou Ssuca co but that they mace up the entries in the a8 @ cule, Dy taking tue Urs{aad iast muuver of chp lot of securilies aud wmasing the ) om those and assuming Uhat all the numbers be- tween were conecucve reg aninot dapl- cate, 1b is also Suggested as Lo tue duplicated cou- pons that, as they are numbered at a diifeveat time trom the number on the bond, Uiey may have been duplicated and the bond not. Another partial ex- planation ts, that some of these Gauplicates have ply occurred in the issuing of tie securities Irom what 19 called the “stock package,” aad that they, being numbered separately on uci occasions, may have had numbers already in use impressed upon them. This Oh get tn. fact, to have veen the egse In one tnste -* already referred to, of the seven-thitty notes of 1861. In respect to the duplications of the third series of the five-twenties of 1562, it wii be seen by reference to Mr. Clark's testimony that he seoms to think that one clase of these duplications are fraudutent and juced by @ genuine tmpression from a face plate lore it caine to the Treasury, and by the same ciass of types fur the backs that were used ia the Treasury in printing the backs of these bonds and coupons; but the committee are entirely satisfied thet the duplicates in question were duplicated in the ‘Treasury and not out of it. By @ care: the genuine bonds and coupons in the Treasury, it seems to the committee certain fh thet D was made in New York and transmitted to the departinent, and under which the types for the backs were obtaine), shows that there is no reason whatever to suppose toat any improper use was made of the pf before it ‘Was sout bere. or that the types for the backs ever been obtained and composed, otherwise than the obtaining of these types and bringing them to the Treasury. It is also evident from @ comparison with bonds and coupons vun- questionably gennine in the ‘Treasury, that the pumbering of these duplicates was done by the loore, as Charge of the registration of redeemed cou. | eed bonds and notes, that so far no duplicate nds have been returned to the Treas Tehonye large Dumbers of those earier issue “they wore signed by “aS va tous d con's, with suegenuas er plane, 4, by i, 1% ouarae, $0 far as can be tugerted, o.80 Soneae aud of the py BS Ca 1861, the bonds aya the notes could not have been fraudu- seutly iasued in duplicate wiiout eitier forgery of the signatures of tue Re, sVier of tue favasury or the ster pguing tor hun vad ot the ‘Treasurer of those secure 8 OF the Kerk signing for him, as ose Securities were Iu complete, uiter beng uam- the onicers of tssue, until the large ‘Treasur, “ .¥ S@al, 80 that im these respects tt ae Bt. connivance und eombinaion of of- ya 7 only in the frinting Bureau, but sogisters ontea, ee Treasurers uf- 2 a Be OWS onlee *a onder té Pre Sonpiemummenalie 3 plist shal 209.

But these are merely speculative considerations, whioa the comiaittee simply sugyest. The seven-thiraes Of 1861 have no duplicates tiat the commitiee have been able to ascertain, excepting the Insiuuce al- ready reierred to as having lanocently occurred iu the Treasury from dupicating notes in the stock kage. The table attached shows, :as nearly as fie ‘Treasury officials can make it out, the number and amount ef the duplicate seven-thirttes of 1864, Te those which have evidently been altered after issue from those which appear on their facea to have been origmal duplicativas. ‘This division into classes caunot be certainly relied upon as entirely correct, for some of those that ap- rr tohave been altered may have been original Tiplications and some of those tuat appear to have been original duplications may hive been altered afterwards so skillully as to defy deiection by inspection, All these circumstances have satisfied the committee that methods of print- ing, nuambermg, sealing and issuing of the securities of the Unit States ought to adopted which will approach the nearest to be absolutely secure against error and fraud, even such methods sould be much more expensive than otners having less guarantees aud ecuop. And it 1s opvious to tke Committee that nighest satety 13 +0 be attained by so conducting the work that no one or even two d#partments suould have it in their power to finish any note, bond or counor, but chat oue part of the cugraving on the securities should be vinted by one estublishinent and a succeeding part ¥ another depariment entirely distinct and sep- erate from Seria aod that the ons rOCesS of — seail al signing should te tone by stlil another distinct and separate department, and in the Treasury, By such methods, each under separate and distinct cun- trol, the nearest approach possible to security will be reached; and as all these securities require two or three distinct processes 07 engraved priuuing and may nave a distinct process of seating and siguing, there 1g no practical didiculty whavever in adopuog such a course. In the printing of the urst fructtonal currency, called posial currency, which wus peciect for issue when printed, @ similar method was pur- sued—one company printing one sid: of the she st with one desiya aud auvother tae ocher with another destzn, thus acting a8 checks upon each other, ‘Vhs securily, We think, Cannot be attained where all the places “are kept together under one control, wuere ail the various processes are done iu one butding and substantially in the same rooi, where tie en- pioyés are in 1requent mtercourse with each other, as boea the case in the Printiag Bureau of the ‘Treasury Department, Another subject for serious consideration In this convection is the comparative safecy to the government as weil as to iudividual holders of reyistere | aad coupon securities, In tie case of the lesistered securities, as they are issued ‘o some parcicular person and stand in tits name on the buoxs of the Treasury, uutil trans- ferred to ihe name of another persou, who thea takes hts piace apon the books, it is Lexi to inpossible that any fraud should occur, and if it should it would be certatu to be detected on aay in- vestigation or on any cuange of the personne of the depariment or buread, aad it could be traced tu 13 origin; but inthe case cf coupon securities, which mm. be and geueraliy are issued in biane and which pass by delivery, there 1s nu such guarantee of safety, aud a frand might exists for years, impossivle of detection until the fina! Withdrawing of the loan, and even then it could not generally be traced to any particular person. ‘Khese securities, there.ore, and tae weriod of their hold out strong temp ations to tte» think that 1 ougit to he the pouey of the government to carry iis debt as jar and as fast as possible Into a registered form, and that there are now no considerations of con- venience arising from this species of security that sould outwega the absolute duty of making tae ent debt absoluvely safe, a8 well for tha cut as for the community, perations of the Printing Bureau in the Trea- Sury Depurtwent have grown so Lumenas as to ve- cupy @ ‘y large quaathy of the space of the build. nig, Ww. is needed f a with the operations of tie Treasury proper, aad the bureau has become prac In 188 cect upoa the Olver Operations of tue Treasury, ANnO.saace, Ii lias @ paper mill in the basement of We buildiug, exten.
