Mr. BRIGHT submitted the following REPORT: [To accompany the joint resolution S. 10.] The Committee on Finance, to whom was referred "a resolution for the relief of Alexander P. Field, late Secretary of the Territory of Wisconsin, and his sureties," beg leave to report : That from the statements presented to the committee, it appears that said Field performed the duties of Secretary of the Territory of Wisconsin, from the 5th of May, 1841, to the 9th of March, 1844, during which time he disbursed large sums of money, drawn from year to year from the United States treasury. That among other disbursements, he was entrusted with the disbursing of money appropriated for certain arrearages of legislative expenses, which had accrued before he assumed the duties of Secretary, the accounts for which the act of appropriation provided should be settled at the proper office of the United States Treasury Department. In the autumn of 1843, said Field deposited in the Treasury Department sundry vouchers and accounts for said disbursements, which nearly covered the whole sum for which he was charged, and left them there for adjustment, without giving any further attention to them. On adjusting said accounts and vouchers in 1845, the officers of the Treasury Department found them in an imperfect and confused state; and not having the information which Field could have given respecting them, they struck a balance against him and his sureties of $5,571 10, by suspending certain vouchers and accounts for which a credit is claimed. No demand has ever been made upon said Field for this balance, and a suit for the same is now pending against his sureties, who have been at much trouble and expense to present to the Treasury Department evidence to satisfy the proper accounting officers that most of the credits claimed are equitable and just. Some of them, however, are of such a nature and forin that they cannot be allowed without the exercise of a discretionary power, which said officers are unwilling to assume; and they have suggested to the sureties an application to Congress for authority to settle the accounts of said Field upon principles of equity and justice. The committee recommend the passage of the resolution referred to them without amendment. Hamilton, Prini. |
