No. 428.

[1st Session.

STATEMENT OF THE PAY, EMOLUMENTS, AND ALLOWANCES OF EVERT OFFICER AND AGENT IN THE NAVAL SERVICE, INCLUDING THE MARINE CORPS.

COMMUNICATED TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES MAY 29, 1830.

Navy Department, May 29, 1830.

Sir: In compliance with the resolution of the House of Representatives, dated the 4th of February last, I have the honor to transmit sundry papers and documents, which will be found to contain full information on the several points of inquiry, so far as it has been within the means of this Department to afford.

I am, very respectfully, &c., JOHN BRANCH.

To the honorable the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Treasury Department, Fourth Auditors Office, May 28, 1830.

Sir: In reply to the resolution of the House of Representatives, calling for a statement of the regular pay, emoluments, and allowances of every officer and agent in the naval service, together with statements of the irregular and contingent allowances made in the years 1828 and 1829, the amounts received by persons receiving salaries from the government, and the amounts paid to officers on leave of absence, waiting orders, or on furlough, and to surgeons at shore stations, passed on the 4th day of February, 1830, and by you referred to me, I have the honor to submit tables marked A to J, inclusive. Much labor and difficulty have been encountered in ascertaining the origin and progress of each regular and irregular allowance. The examination of the law, of the correspondence in this office, and of about twenty volumes of the correspondence in your office, has given me much information; but to answer the resolution of the House perfectly would require the additional research of several months.

Table A embraces the regular allowances of each grade of officers in the navy proper. Their origin and progress, as far as ascertained, are as follows, viz:

Captain commanding a squadron on separate service.—His pay and rations are prescribed by the act of 25th February, 1799. The present allowances, in lieu of cabin furniture, originated in a letter from the Secretary of the Navy to the Fourth Auditor, dated 28th May, 1827. He was, some years since, allowed a commission of two and one-half per cent. on bills drawn for the support of his squadron; and more recently $2,000 per year in lieu of commissions. This allowance was directed to be discontinued in 1826, though a few similar allowances have been since made.

Captain of a line-of-battle ship.—His pay and emoluments depend on the same authority as the preceding.

Captain of a vessel of thirty-two guns and upwards.—Same, except that no allowance is prescribed on account of cabin furniture. [It is not now the practice to order captains to the command of vessels of this size or under.]

Captain commanding a navy yard.—The act of 27th March, 1804, provides that the pay and emoluments of the commandant of the Navy yard at Washington shall be the same as those of a captain commanding a squadron on separate service. He claimed house rent, no quarters being provided for him. In 1807 the question was referred to the Attorney General, whose opinion favored the claim. On the 9th June, 1807, the Secretary of the Navy directed that $350 should be allowed him from the time of his appointment. Wood was also allowed; but what quantity I have not been able to ascertain. There is no law, so far as I know, which makes any allowance whatever to a captain of the navy in command of any other navy yard. Captains ordered upon that duty have, with a few exceptions, been allowed the

--686--

same pay and rations as the commandant of the Washington yard, upon no other authority than orders of the Secretary of the Navy. Their other allowances have also been similar.

On the 17th of June, 1821, the allowances of the commandants of the yards at Portsmouth, N. H., Charlestown, Mass., Brooklyn, N. Y., Philadelphia, Pa., and Gosport, Va., were fixed at twenty-eight cords of wood, sixty-five dollars per annum for candles, three servants at eight dollars per month and one ration per day, each, making twenty-four dollars per month for servants and rations, and $300 per year for house rent, except the Philadelphia yard, the commandant of which was allowed $600 for house rent.

On the 30th May, 1824, the Secretary directed that $100 per month, sixteen rations per day, sixty-five dollars per annum for candles, thirty cords of wood, three servants at eight dollars per month and one ration per day, should be allowed to the commandants of the yards at Washington, Philadelphia, Portsmouth, Norfolk, New York, and Charlestown, Massachusetts. To the commandant of the Philadelphia yard, the allowance of $600 for house rent has been continued. The same allowances, with $600 for house rent, have since been extended to the yard at Pensacola. At Baltimore, and Charleston, S. C, the commandants received the same allowances, except that they have but eight rations, and $300 for house rent. Where furnished with houses, no house rent is allowed.

In every case, rations have been allowed for each servant, in addition to his monthly pay, at a commutation price of twenty-five cents each.

Captain waiting orders, or on leave of absence.—It is but indirectly that any pay whatever is given, by law, to a captain under these circumstances. The act of 21st April, 1806, declares that captains, masters commandant, lieutenants, and midshipmen "shall receive no more than half their monthly pay during the time when they shall not be under orders for actual service."

On the 1st March, 1819, the Secretary of the Navy addressed to the Fourth Auditor a letter to the following effect, viz:

"You are authorized to allow to all officers of the navy of the United States, who are not on furlough, full pay and rations."

Such allowances have been made ever since. For the purpose, I presume, of entitling all the officers of the navy to full pay under this executive regulation, the Secretary of the Navy, in 1824, issued orders, directing them to hold themselves in readiness for active service; and on the 21st of May, addressed a letter to the Fourth Auditor to the following effect, viz:

"To avoid difficulties for the future, to do justice to the officers, and place them in a proper situation for the public service, I have issued orders to them to hold themselves in readiness for active service, suited to their rank."

Thus, all the officers of the navy were taken out of the purview of the act of 1806, construed to be "under orders for actual service," and entitled to full pay and rations.

Captain on furlough.—By the act of 1806, he receives only half pay; but there have, of late years, been very few cases of furlough; all is resolved into leave of absence and waiting orders, for the substantial reasons already enumerated. Indeed, there are but nine furloughs on the register for 1830, while there are about 300 waiting orders, on leave of absence, or under examination.

Master commandant in command of a sloop-of-war.—His pay and rations are fixed by the act of 25th February, 1199. The allowance in lieu of cabin furniture originated in the same manner as the captain's.

Master commandant waiting orders, or on leave of absence.—He is brought within the provisions of the act of 1799, in the same manner that captains, under similar circumstances, are.

Master commandant commanding on shore.—His pay and rations are fixed by construction of the same act. His house rent, fuel, wood, candles, and servants, are made in the same manner and depend upon the same authority as those made to captains at the navy yards.

Master commandant on furlough.—He is put upon half pay under the act of 1806.

Master commandant recruiting.—He is placed on the footing of a master commandant commanding on shore, by the letter of the Secretary of the Navy to the Fourth Auditor, dated December 3, 1827.

Lieutenant in command.—His pay and rations were fixed at $50 per month and four rations per day by the act of 1799, and increased $10 per month and one ration by the act of 24th May, 1828. His allowance in lieu of cabin furniture is fixed in the same manner as the captain's.

Lieutenant not in command, but attached to a ship, on leave of absence, or waiting orders.—His pay and rations are fixed, by the act of 18th April, 1814, at $40 per month and three rations per day, and increased, by the act of 1828, $10 per month and one ration per day. He receives full pay and rations by the same authority as captains receive them when waiting orders or on leave of absence.

First lieutenant of a navy yard.—His pay and rations are fixed as last above stated. His house rent, fuel, candles, and servant, rest on the same authority as similar allowances to captains under similar circumstances.

Lieutenant on furlough.—He is restricted to half pay, in accordance with the act of 1806. A sailingmaster.—His pay and rations are fixed by the act of 18th April, 1814.

Master of the Portsmouth, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, Pensacola, and Sackett's Harbor stations.— His pay and rations are fixed as above. His house rent, wood, candles, and servant, depend on the same authority as similar allowances to captains at navy yards.

Master at the Boston and Washington stations.—His pay, emoluments, and allowances are the same as the foregoing, and rest on the same authority, with the exception of house rent.

Purser on board a ship.—His pay and rations are fixed by the act of 18th April, 1814.

Purser on a station.—His pay and rations are fixed by the same act as the foregoing. His allowance for house rent, fuel, candles, and a servant, originated in the same manner as similar allowances to captains of navy yards.

Purser on furlough.—He is placed on half pay by the authority of the general usage of the Department only, not being included in the act of 1806.

Midshipmen.—Their pay and rations are fixed by the President, in pursuance of authority vested in him by the act of 18th April, 1814.

Passed midshipmen.—Their pay and rations originate from the same source, under a construction of the same act.

Chaplain.—His pay and rations are fixed by the act of 18th April, 1814.

Captain attached to a station.—His pay and rations are fixed by the same act as the foregoing. His other allowances originated in the same manner as those of captains of yards.

Surgeons.—Their pay and rations are fixed by the acts of the 24th May, 1828, and 21st January, 1829.

--687--

Their other allowances, when attached to navy yards, are fixed by the same authority as those made to captains of yards.

Assistant surgeons.—Their pay, rations, and allowances are fixed by the same authority as the foregoing.

Captain's clerk.—His appointment is authorized by the act of March 27, 1794, which also empowers the President to fix his compensation. The authority is repeated in the act of 18th April, 1814, the clerk being one of the "petty officers."

Commodore's secretary.—He is appointed, it is believed, without authority of law, and his compensation is fixed by the Secretary of the Navy. The first estimate for the payment of such an officer was in 1828.

Tables B and C present the regular allowances made to regular navy agents and other agents employed by the Department. They originated as follows, viz:

Navy agents.—By the act of March 3, 1809, their compensation is fixed at one per cent. on their disbursements, provided the whole amount shall not exceed $2,000 per year. It was doubted whether, under this act, any allowance other than this commission could be made to them. It was some years before a claim for office expenses seems to have been set up, and then it was rejected by the First Comptroller. The subject was referred to the Attorney General, who gave an opinion favorable to the claim. In January, 1817, the Secretary of the Navy decided "that reasonable clerk hire, stationery, and office rent are admissible in the settlement of navy agents' accounts." In September, 1819, the subject was again before the Attorney General, who gave an opinion adverse to these claims. It seems, however, not to have been regarded by the Department; for such allowances have been made ever since. The allowances at Boston and Philadelphia had been fixed, as they now stand, in June, 1817, by the Secretary of the Navy. Those at New York have been since increased, and similar allowances made at all the other stations by the same authority.

The foreign navy agents have been considered as not embraced in the act of 1809. Their compensation has been regulated by their instructions from the Secretary of the Navy, which generally allow from two to two and a half per cent. on their disbursements. The aggregate per annum depends on the amount disbursed, and varies from an inconsiderable sum to $5,000 or $6,000.

Agents employed for the preservation of live oak, &c.—Their compensation is fixed by the Secretary of the Navy.

Agent to receive Africans at Liberia.—His compensation is fixed by the President, by construction of the act of 3d March, 1819, for the suppression of the slave trade.

The table marked D contains a statement of the pay, emoluments, and allowances made to each grade of officers in the marine corps, according to the rules adopted in the settlement of their accounts previous to the year 1829, and the amounts since allowed under the decision of that year. As far as ascertained, the following is a correct history of the origin and progress of those allowances:

Lieutenant colonel commandant.—His office was created by an act passed 22d April, 1800, which declared that he should be entitled to the same pay and emoluments as a lieutenant colonel in the army. These had been fixed by the act of March 3d, 1799, at $75 per month, six rations per day, $12 per month for forage. In June, 1800, it was decided by the Secretary of the Navy that he must be considered as in command of a separate post, and entitled to double rations. In July , 1812, an act passed allowing each officer in the army the pay and emoluments of a private soldier, in lieu of each waiter, to which he was entitled by the army regulations. In September, 1813, the Secretary of the Navy directed the same allowance to be made to the officers of the marine corps. In consequence, the lieutenant colonel commandant was allowed for two servants $14.84 per month each, amounting to $356.16 per year. The allowance actually made to him for forage has varied with those made to a lieutenant colonel, and afterwards to a colonel in the army. The fuel allowed to him has varied in the same manner. He is furnished with public quarters.

In May, 1829, it was decided that the laws of the army, passed since the creation of his office, do not apply to him, and there being no law varying his compensation since, he must be paid according to the law of 1799; that, being in command of the whole corps, he does not command a separate post, and is not entitled to double rations; and that the law of 1812, relative to servants, does not apply to the marine corps, and could not be applied to them by the Secretary of the Navy; and that he was not entitled to any allowance for servants. From the 1st April, 1829, therefore, he has been reduced to six rations per day, to $12 per month for forage, and no servants, except that he May take waiters from the line.

Brevet lieutenant colonel, commanding on shore.—An act of 16th April, 1814, authorizes the President to confer brevet rank in the marine corps, and entitles the officers brevetted to the pay and emoluments of their brevet rank when "commanding separate stations or detachments." The rank of major then existed in the corps. There were brevet majors when the corps was placed on the peace establishment in 1817, and that rank was abolished. The President, however, continued to make brevet majors. In 1825, it was finally determined that, as there was no such rank in the line of the corps, such brevets were not authorized by law, and were consequently void. The captains entitled to brevets were brevetted lieutenant colonels. They received the same pay, emoluments, and allowances as a lieutenant colonel in the army. How this grade of pay came to be allowed them, I have not been able to ascertain. There was not, in law or in practice, any such grade of pay in the line of their corps.

In May, 1829, it was decided that, inasmuch as they were brevetted to the same rank as their lieutenant colonel commandant, they must have the same pay when entitled to brevet pay at all. As captains they were entitled to three rations; as brevet lieutenant colonels, when commanding separate posts, to six, the number allowed to their lieutenant colonel commandant; but they had been allowed ten, the double rations of a lieutenant colonel commanding in the army. They were brought down to six, the number belonging to their brevet rank. Their allowances for forage and service, having originated from the same source as those of the lieutenant colonel commandant, were reduced to the same standard for the same reason. When not furnished with public quarters, they are allowed the same house rent as the staff officer of the corps.

Brevet lieutenant colonel, commanding afloat.—He also received the pay and rations of a lieutenant colonel in the army, on the same ground; and, in May, 1829, was placed, in this respect, on the same footing as the lieutenant colonel commandant, for the reasons already given.

Captains.—By the act of the 11th July , 1798, their compensation was fixed at $40 per month and three rations per day. They were allowed for one servant by the same authority that their lieutenant

--688--

colonel commandant was allowed for two. An allowance for wood has been made them by Executive authority, ever since the establishment of their corps. By a precedent set in 1818, and running back to 1813, they have been allowed for house rent when not furnished with public quarters. When in command on shore, they have received double rations. By the decision of May, 1829, they were deprived of the servant and double rations.

A captain not in command received his lawful pay, rations and servant, unless on furlough, when only half pay was allowed him. If attached to a station, he has his house rent and fuel. The decision of May, 1829, took away his servant.

First lieutenant.—By the act of 11th of July , 1798, his pay and rations were fixed at $30 per month and three rations per day. An act passed 24th April, 1816, gave an additional ration to each subaltern in the army. In 1824, the Fourth Auditor applied this act to first lieutenants in the marine corps, and allowed them four rations—one more than their captains received, and one more than was allowed to first lieutenants in the army. Their allowances for one servant, fuel, and house rent, originated in the same manner as like allowances made to their captains.

The decision of May, 1829, cut off the additional ration and the allowance for a servant.

Second lieutenant.—His pay was fixed at $25 per month, with two rations per day, by the act of 11th July , 1198. His rations were increased to three, in 1818, by the Fourth Auditor, who applied to him the provision of the act of 1816, which gives one additional ration to each subaltern in the army. One servant, fuel, and house rent, were allowed to him on the same authority as to first lieutenants.

The decision of May, 1829, cut off the additional ration and servant.

Lieutenants on shore, acting as assistant quarter-masters, were allowed, until 1829, $20 per month. Officers commanding a post or detachment on separate service have, until 1829, been allowed double rations.

Officers commanding marines afloat have been allowed double rations by authority of a letter from the Secretary of the Navy, dated 29th March, 1805. In 1812, an allowance of $15 per month was made to them for receiving and distributing clothing, running back to 1809, 1810, and 1811. This allowance was continued until 1829. By the decision of May, in that year, both of these allowances were discontinued.

Paymaster.—The act of 16th April, 1814, authorized the appointment of an adjutant, paymaster, and quartermaster, to be taken from the line of captains or subalterns, who were entitled to receive "$30 in addition to their pay in the line, in full of all emoluments." The present paymaster is a captain, and according to this law, which has never been changed, is entitled to $70 per month, three rations per day, and the other allowances of a captain. In 1825, however, the Fourth-Auditor placed him on the footing of a paymaster in the army, giving him $50 per month, four rations per day, and allowance for two servants, forage for two horses, together with fuel and house rent. In 1828 it was decided, by the same authority, that he was entitled to eight rations, and forage for four horses, and he claimed $60 per month, the pay of a major of cavalry in the army; but no account was settled in which these allowances were made to him, and the decision has been reversed. The house rent for the whole staff was fixed at $250, in January, 1823, and increased to $288, in February, 1828.

From the 1st April, 1829, his pay and emoluments have been brought back to the standard prescribed by law.

Quartermaster.—The present quartermaster is a first lieutenant, and, by the laws referred to, is entitled to $60 per month and three rations per day, with the other allowances of a first lieutenant. The Fourth Auditor, however, applied to him, also, the law of the army in relation to quartermasters, and allowed him $60 per month, four rations per day, two servants, forage for two horses, with fuel and house rent. By a precedent set in 1823, he was also allowed $30 per month, as commissary of subsistence. By authority of the Secretary of the Navy, in 1805, he was also allowed $150 per year as superintendent of the armory. His house rent was increased, in 1828, from $250 to $288.

From the 1st April, 1829, his pay and emoluments have been made to conform to existing laws, and his extra allowances have been discontinued.

Adjutant and inspector.—The present adjutant and inspector is a first lieutenant, and by law is entitled to $60 per month, three rations per day, and all other allowances made to his lineal rank. It does not appear that he was placed on a similar footing with the other staff officers until 1828, when it was decided that he should be allowed forage for two horses, and an additional servant. His allowance for house rent was also increased from $200 to $288.

From the 1st April, 1829, his pay and emoluments have been reduced to the standard of the law.

In every case where a servant is mentioned, it should be recollected that the real allowance is $14.84 in money; and when fuel is mentioned, it is $7 for every cord of wood stated to be allowed.

Table marked E, presents sundry allowances made by the Navy Department to persons receiving salaries from the government. The Navy Commissioners have been paid traveling expenses and a per diem allowance when absent on public business, upon the ground that they are captains of the navy, and, as such, entitled to those allowances. Upon similar grounds have they been paid for extra services. The same rules of allowance have been extended to their secretary, although he is not an officer of the navy. The salary, as well as other allowances of the engineer for building dry docks, were fixed by the Secretary of the Navy in 1828. The salaries to the secretaries of the navy pension and hospital funds were fixed by the commissioners of those funds. The commissions paid for purchase of stocks were, I believe, in every instance, sanctioned by the Secretary of the Navy.

The commissions paid Mr. M'Daniel, as special agent, were, as far as I know, authorized only by usage.

Tables marked F and G exhibit the allowances other than regular allowances made during the years 1828 and 1829. For greater convenience, the traveling expenses have been separated from the others. The traveling expenses of all officers traveling under orders were fixed at fifteen cents per mile, by the Secretary of the Navy, in March, 1817.

The amount allowed for traveling expenses in 1828, was

$37,888 56

The amount allowed for traveling expenses in 1829, was

23,205 70

Difference in favor of 1829

$14,682 86

--689--

The other irregular allowances not fixed by law are contained in table G.

When the allowance of commissions for drawing bills originated, or by what authority, I know not. When allowed to captains in the navy, it was obviously intended to increase their emoluments. It has had the same effect upon pursers when allowed to them. Nor do I know when the allowance of two and a half per cent. commission to acting pursers commenced, or by what authority. It is but a fair allowance in many cases; in some, it has made their compensation exorbitant. No reason is perceived why they might not be paid as actual pursers, or at least a fixed monthly allowance.

An allowance of four dollars for each recruit was formerly made to recruiting officers, and is still continued to officers recruiting men in foreign countries; but I know not when it originated. On the 3d December, 1827, the Secretary of the Navy directed that, from the 1st of January, 1828, the same allowance should be made to masters commandant, stationed at recruiting rendezvous, as are made to those attached to navy yards, with a reasonable allowance for necessary expenses, office rent, music, and stationery. The same rule was extended to surgeons and lieutenants, with the exception of expenses, &c. Midshipmen were directed to be allowed $3 per week.

The allowance for attending courts-martial as witnesses, members, or judge advocate, originated with the Secretary of the Navy, but I know not when. Citizens attending as witnesses are allowed $3 per day; officers of the navy, $1.50. The members of the court have generally been allowed $1.50, sometimes $3. The judge advocate, if a citizen, is generally allowed $10 per day, during his actual attendance, and for a reasonable time to make up the record. Officers of the navy, acting in that capacity, are allowed half that sum. Sometimes citizens, acting in that capacity, have been allowed gross sums to a large amount. I have never seen any written rule by which these allowances are regulated.

The allowance for attending the board for the examination of midshipmen has originated, I presume, from the same source, and has not been confined to any written rule; at least, none such is to be found in this office. In 1820, midshipmen were authorized, by the Secretary of the Navy, to receive traveling expenses to and from the place of examination, but no per diem while attending. The rule was afterwards changed, and they were denied traveling expenses to the place of examination, but allowed a per diem of $1.50 while attending. If they did not pass they were allowed nothing. The present Secretary of the Navy has decided to allow them traveling expenses to the place of examination, and a per diem when they pass in any one branch of naval service, as well as their traveling expenses to their homes or stations.

It has been the practice to pay the passage of officers ordered home from foreign stations, or sent home on account of ill health, when, in consequence of having no opportunity to return in a public vessel, they are under the necessity of coming in merchantmen or packets. I do not know when it originated. The Secretary of the Navy directed that the passage money of seamen discharged in foreign countries shall be paid, unless there was an opportunity for them to return in public vessels.

The allowance of difference of pay and rations is authorized, by the navy regulations, to officers necessarily acting in situations above their rank. There is no law which sanctions the allowance. The present Secretary has directed that these allowances shall be confined to cases where the claimant has received an acting appointment and been rated according to his acting rank on the pay roll.

In the explanatory cases attached to the table will be found a history of the allowance of a commission on moneys paid to mechanics and laborers at the several navy yards, together with many other matters, somewhat in detail.

Opposite the miscellaneous items in the table will be found references to the authorities upon which those allowances have been made, in cases not embraced in the foregoing.

By the recapitulation annexed to the table, it appears that the aggregate of these allowances was,

The Naval Register of 1830 shows:

Thirty-seven captains, of whom there were on furlough,
leave of absence, waiting orders, suspended, or under arrest

11

Thirty-nine masters commandant, same

8

Two hundred and fifty-eight lieutenants, same

113

Thirty-four surgeons, same

6

Thirty-one assistant surgeons, same

7

Sixteen acting assistant surgeons, same

0

Forty-three pursers, same

10

Nine chaplains, same

Forty-one passed midshipmen, same

18

Four hundred and thirty-five midshipmen, same, and on examination

Thirty-two sailingmasters, same

11

Eighteen boatswains, same

4

Twenty gunners, same

3

Sixteen carpenters, same

2

Sixteen sailmakers, same

3

332

Hence, it appears that the proportion of officers and petty officers in the navy of the United States, wholly unemployed, is nearly one-third of the entire corps. As this was the case when the register was made out, it may be presumed that it presents a fair average of the number of those who are constantly unemployed.

By the same evidence, it appears that the number of those actually at sea, is:

Of captains

6

Of masters commandant

12

Of lieutenants

101

Of surgeons

11

Of assistant surgeons

19

Of acting assistant surgeons

11

Of pursers

20

Of chaplains

280

Of sailingmasters

3

Of boatswains

10

Of gunners

10

Of carpenters

11

Of sailmakers

13

533

Hence, it appears that only a little more than half of the whole corps are actually employed in sea service. The residue, not on leave of absence, &c., 189 in number, are employed in the navy yards, in recruiting, in receiving, ships, in the ships in ordinary, &c., &c. It therefore takes 189 officers on shore, or thereabouts, to keep 533 afloat, while 332 are resting from their labors. Many of those on shore are paid better than those afloat, and all, with the exception of a few on furlough, as well.

An accurate calculation of what proportion of the three millions annually appropriated for the service of the navy, which is paid to the navy actually afloat, and what is paid at home to keep up the establishment, would present interesting results.

I return table J, with this report, it being impracticable to ascertain the amounts which have been paid to the officers therein named.

I could wish this report were more perfect. By continued investigations, I hope to make myself master of all the regulations which have ever existed in the Navy Department, wherever concealed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

AMOS KENDALL.

Hon. Secretary of the Navy.

EXPLANATIONS.

The following details are annexed, to explain some of the allowances in the foregoing table, but more particularly to illustrate the course which has been pursued in the accounting offices for the Navy Department, together with the effects of taking precedent for law, and considering an appropriation, however obtained, sufficient authority for expending the public money:

Case of Allen & Leonard.

In January, 1815, Messrs. Allen & Leonard entered into a contract with Commodore Chauncey, acting for the Navy Department, to deliver 40,000 gallons of "good whiskey" at Sackett's Harbor, at 90 cents per gallon, and the original cost of the casks.

They proceeded to deliver upwards of 6,000 gallons at Sackett's Harbor, agreeably to contract. They then received notice that, in consequence of the peace, no more would be received at that place.

Upon the peace, the price of whiskey fell about 30 per cent., and the contractors were anxious to fulfill their contracts.

Under date of March 10, 1815, Commodore Chauncey wrote a letter to the Navy Department, of which the following is an extract:

"The contractors complain that they will suffer great loss, because they have laid in the quantity of grain which would be required to complete the contract, besides having given bonds to the United States for the whole amount of duties. They, however, offer to deliver the whiskey at New York, instead of Sackett's Harbor, and the contractors for shot, iron, ballast, beef and pork, have made the same offer; and as all those articles will be required at New York, it would save much litigation to allow those people to complete their contracts, and deliver at New York, instead of Sackett's Harbor."

To this the Secretary of the Navy, under date of 29th March, 1815, wrote as follows:

"You will accept the proposals of the contractors to deliver the whiskey, provisions, shot, &c., at New York, instead of Sackett's Harbor."

In reply, Commodore Chauncey wrote, under date of 14th April, 1815, as follows: "I have wrote to all the people which we were under contract with for provisions, shot, ballast, and whiskey, that you had authorized me to accept their proposals to deliver the articles at New York, instead of Sackett's Harbor, and have directed them to commence immediately delivering to the navy storekeeper, New York."

Messrs. Allen & Leonard proceeded to deliver, at New York, 33,328 1/4 gallons of whiskey, for which they were paid 90 cents per gallon, and the cost of the casks. No claim was advanced by them at that time for any extra allowances in consequence of the change of contract.

In 1819, however, through David B. Ogden, a member of Congress, they presented a claim to the Secretary of the Navy for the cost of transportation, which, they say in their letter to Mr. Ogden, was "about $3,500."

The Secretary made inquiry of Commodore Chauncey, and received a letter in reply, dated 18th ----, 1819, of which the following is an extract:

"I made an arrangement with Messrs. J. H. & S. Leonard, and others, to deliver the whiskey at New York, instead of Sackett's Harbor. I have no documents with me to show what that arrangement was; but I am confident it was such as was satisfactory to the contractors at the time, and that no allowance for transportation was either promised or expected."

On the same day the Secretary wrote to Mr. Ogden, as follows: "I have the honor to enclose, herewith, a copy of a letter from Commodore Chauncey, in relation to the claims of Messrs. J. H. & S. Leonard, from which it appears that there is nothing due to those gentlemen."

In 1822, they presented their claims, by petition, to the House of Representatives. They were now increased, and were composed of the following items, viz:

--730--

To difference in expense between transporting 33,328 1/4gallons of whiskey from Lewis county, to the city of New York, and to Sackett's Harbor, 270 miles, at 13 cents per gallon 

New York, $4,332 67

Extra loss sustained by leakage, &c., at 1 cent

333 28

Extra expense attending the delivery of whiskey in New York, &c.

750 00

$5,415 95

Here was an increase in the transportation, from 1819 up to 1822, of more than $800; and two new charges appeared, not before thought of, amounting to $1,083.28. The claim was accompanied by an affidavit of James H. Leonard and Samuel Allen, in which they swear that "the above amount is now justly due to these deponents, and that the charges are moderate and reasonable," &c. Neither in this affidavit, nor in those that accompany it, nor in the petition to Congress, is there the slightest mention, allusion, or hint, tending to indicate that any loss had been sustained in consequence of the difference in the manner of proving "good whiskey" at Sackett's Harbor and New York.

On the 25th of March, 1822, the petition and papers were referred to the Committee on Claims, but I do not discover that they acted on it at that session.

At the next session these claims were again presented, and referred to the Committee on Claims. That committee applied to Commodore Chauncey for information; and, in his reply, dated 15th January, 1823, he says:

"That I accordingly entered into such arrangements [to deliver in New York instead of Sackett's Harbor], which were the more readily assented to, on the part of the contractors, as whiskey had fallen about 30 per cent., although I believe it rose again, before the deliveries were completed, to about 10 per cent. above the contract price.

"That Messrs. Allen & Leonard agreed to deliver at New York, instead of Sackett's Harbor, at the original contract price, say 90 cents per gallon.

"That Messrs. J. Mappa & Co. agreed to deliver at New York, at two cents per gallon less than their original contract price, say 88 cents."

With all Messrs. Allen & Leonard's affidavits and certificates before them, asserting that they expected extra compensation, &c., on the 16th of January, 1823, they reported against the claim. In conclusion, they say:

"We invite the attention of the House to the documents received from the Navy Department, in relation to this claim, which, in the estimation of the committee, go to disprove the validity of the demand set up by the petitioners."

The report was laid on the table.

The papers were again presented at the next session, and on the 23d of January, 1824, the Committee on Claims reported against them; and the report was laid on the table.

Nothing further seems to have been heard from these claimants until January, 1828, when they presented the third edition of their account to the Secretary of the Navy, revised and corrected, as follows:

For difference of transportation of 33,328 1/4 gallons of whiskey, &c.

$4,332 67

For expenses attending delivery, &c.

750 00

For leakage, &c.

499 92

For the difference between common glass-proof whiskey, at which it was to have been received at Sackett's Harbor, and hydrometer-proof, which was required at New York, which is 15 per cent., and amounts to 4,999 gallons. Contract price, 90 cents. Extra charge for transportation, as in item No. 1, 19 cents

5,448 91

$11,031 50

So, the amount of $5,415.95, which was sworn to be justly due in 1822, had increased, in 1828, to $11,031.50. The item of leakage had increased from $333.28 to $499.92, and a new item for difference of proof, never before heard of, made its appearance.

Resort was again had to Commodore Chauncey for information. In a letter from him to a member of Congress, dated 7th January, 1828, he says:

"My impression is, that the whiskey which was to have been delivered at Sackett's Harbor, was to have been good first proof."

In a reply to a letter from Mr. Allen, he says, on the 17th of the same month:

"My understanding of the contract with the Messrs. Leonards and yourself, for the whiskey to be delivered at Sackett's Harbor, is, that it was to have been good, first proof whiskey. How the proof was to have been ascertained, was left to the officers whose duty it was to inspect and receive it. There was no other change made in the contract, than substituting New York for Sackett's Harbor, as the place of delivery. The quality and quantity of the article was to be the same."

The subject was referred, by the Secretary, to the Fourth Auditor, who, on the 2d February, 1828, made a report, strongly recommending the allowance of the whole claim.

On the 26th of February, the Secretary wrote to the Fourth Auditor, directing the allowance of the new item. An account was accordingly stated, as follows:

For 4,999 gallons of whiskey, delivered at New York, at 90 cents per gallon   

$4,999 10

Allowance for casks, per contract, at 3 cents per gallon 

149 97

$4,649 07

On the same day this sum was paid out of the Treasury, and charged to "Provisions."

The Secretary continued: "So far as I have been able to examine the other items, they seem to have an equitable claim for damages; but as I do not consider the power of the Department so far as to make the allowance of those damages, especially after the claim for them has been submitted to Congress, I do not, therefore, allow these items."

--731--

The claimants immediately petitioned Congress once more for the balance. On the 29th of April the Committee on Claims reported that they had had the petition under consideration, and believe that no legislation is necessary in this case. If the petitioners have any claim, it can be adjusted at the proper department.

"Resolved, That the Committee on Claims be discharged from the further consideration of the petition of Allen & Leonard, and the documents accompanying the same, and that they have leave to withdraw their papers."

This report and resolution were adopted.

The petition and papers were immediately taken to the Navy Department. On the 30th April the Secretary addressed a letter to the Fourth Auditor, in which he said:

"I consider the resolution as authorizing and directing a settlement of the claim. It is, therefore, referred to you to state and settle, upon the evidence and vouchers, the amount justly due on their account. When a settlement is made, a requisition will issue for the amount."

The amount was accordingly taken up. The item of expense attending delivery was increased from $750 to $891.10, by adding $141.10 for the 4,999 additional gallons paid for by the Secretary in 1828; and, by the same rule, the leakage was increased from $499.92 to $517.41. There were also allowed 13 cents per gallon for extra transportation on the same 4,999 gallons; so that the items allowed were as follows:

follows:

Extra transportation on 33.328 1/4 gallons

     $4,332 67

Extra transportation on 4,999 gallons

     649 87

Extra expense of delivering 38,327 1/4 gallons 

     891 10

Leakage of 38,327 1/4 gallons

     517 41

$6,391 05

Some delay occurred in consequence of Mr. Allen having no power from the Messrs. Leonards to receive their portion of the money; but, on the 1st July , 1828, this difficulty was overcome, and an account was stated in the following words:

"For expenses of transportation, storage, and leakage on 38,327 1/4 gallons of whiskey, delivered in New York, in 1815, per account herewith, $6,391.05."

On the same day, this sum was actually paid to them out of the Treasury, and charged to "Provisions."

The first allowance was

$4,649 07

The second allowance

6,391 05

$11,040 12

Their original claim in 1819 was $3,500, so that they were paid $7,540.12 more than their original claim, as stated by themselves.

Allen & Leonard became insolvent, and their affairs were investigated before a jury in 1829. In that investigation it appeared, as one of the jurymen informed me by letter, that one thousand dollars of this allowance was lent to the late Fourth Auditor when it was made. He also informed me that Mr. Allen, one of the contractors, told him that the proposition to lend the money was made by him after it had been determined to allow his claims, but before they were settled, on condition that the Fourth Auditor would take them up and hasten their settlement out of office hours; and that the proposition was communicated by him to the Secretary of the Navy, by whom it was approved.

It is apparent, that to settle the account was not the work of an hour; and the handwriting shows that it was settled by one of the clerks.

Since I investigated this case, I communicated the fact of the allowance to Commodore Chauncey, who expressed his astonishment, and declared that the contractors could have purchased the whiskey in New York, at the time, and turned it into the naval store at a profit of 25 per cent., and that they had no just claim to a single dollar.

Case of Charles Hay.

Charles Hay, late chief clerk of the Navy Department, was agent for the purchase of stocks for the navy pension fund.

On the 1st of July , 1828, there was reimbursed to that fund $281,384.72. This was not reinvested until the 17th February, 1829, when Mr. Hay purchased, with it, stocks bearing interest from the 1st of the preceding January. The interest of six months was entirely lost to the fund, which, at 4 1/2 per cent., would have amounted to $5,627.69.

For reinvesting this stock Mr. Hay charged a commission of one-half per cent. on the whole amount. In one account he summed up all his purchases from 1825 to 1829, inclusive, amounting to $675,264.89, upon which his commission amounted to $3,376.32, which, on the 19th February, 1829, was marked "approved," by Samuel L. Southard, and, on the 17th March, passed to his credit in the Fourth Auditor's office. Add the commission to the interest lost, and the aggregate is over $9,000. Either the bank or individuals must have profited by the money, from the 1st of July to the 17th February, while it remained uninvested. All the stocks were purchased of the cashier of the United States Branch Bank, in this city, and probably the purchase did not occupy the agent three hours.

The whole of these purchases, except $150,000, were made subsequent to the 1st January, 1829.

For this service the commission allowed amounted to $2,626.32. Mr. Hay was, at the same time, receiving a salary of $2,000 per year. During the first two months of 1829, therefore, he received for commissions

$2,626 32

For salary

333 33

In all, for two months

$2,959 62

--732--

In fact, the purchases were all made in the month of February.

In November, 1826, Mr. Southard sent Mr. Hay to New Orleans, with the professed object of attempting to secure certain balances due to the Navy Department by Joseph B. Wilkinson, former navy agent in that place, and directed an advance to be made to him of $800. At New Orleans Mr. Hay drew from the navy agent $100 more. The usual allowance to naval officers traveling to New Orleans is $100, or, $200 for going and returning. Mr. Hay's account remained unsettled until 1829. He then produced an account in the following form:

United States Navy Department,

To Charles Hay, Dr.

To amount of expenses incurred in traveling from Washington city to the city of New Orleans, and from New Orleans back to the city of Washington, under orders of the Secretary of the Navy, bearing date the ----- November, 1826 $800 00

Washington City, February 16, 1829. Approved: S. L. S.

On the 20th March, 1829, the last day of Dr. Watkins' official existence, this voucher was passed to Mr. Hay's credit in the Fourth Auditor's office.

There is not the slightest evidence of the actual amount of expenses, except this voucher, drawn up more than two years after the service was rendered.

After these settlements and credits, Mr. Hay was still left indebted:

To the navy pension fund.

$125 75

To the Navy Department.

100 00

$225 15

The voucher, upon which Mr. Hay's commissions were passed to his credit, was approved by one of the commissioners of the navy pension fund only, and would not now be considered a legal voucher. All such commissions are disallowed by the present commissioners and accounting officers.

Case of Amos Binney.

Amos Binney was appointed navy agent at Boston, and commenced his duties in February, 1812. He continued in office, and was, it is said, nominated to the Senate for another term at the session of Congress for 1824-5, but that body did not confirm the nomination.

In a settlement of his account, dated 11th March, 1825, he advanced a claim for loss on Treasury notes

$22,591 97

Commission on the above

225 91

$22,717 88

A settlement of his account up to the 20th April was made on the 12th May, 1825, in which the charge for loss on Treasury notes was renewed, but the commission was dropped. The charge was suspended.

In this settlement there were allowed, by the Secretary of the Navy and Fourth Auditor, vouchers of the following characters: 1816.

    

December 31.

1824.

November 8. For    311 85

1825.

February 15.

1816.

 

December 31.

To commission on purchases and payment at Boston, for the use of the United States navy, and beyond the bounds of my agency, forwarded, by order, to Portsmouth, N. H., Newport, R. I., New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Norfolk, and Lake Champlain stations, amounting to $263,930.67, per annexed schedule, at 2 1/2 per cent

$6,598 25

December 31.

For receiving, examining, registering, endorsing, counting, and paying $1,620,874 Treasury notes, from August, 1814, to October 16, a commission of one-quarter per cent

1824.

 

November 8.

For chartering brig Good Hope, collecting a cargo of provisions, a commission of 2 1/2 per cent. on all drawn from depot, and not paid for by himself, $12,474.13, is

311 85

1825.

 

February 15.

For collecting debt of R. Parrott's estate, $7,009.22, at 2 1/2 per cent. commission  

175 22

$11,137 94

Mr. Binney, however, received a pro tem. appointment, and continued to act as agent during the year 1825, presenting in every quarterly return his claim of $22,591.97, for loss on Treasury notes.

At the close of that year, it is said he was again nominated to the Senate, but not confirmed.

His account was settled up to the 31st March, 1826; but he continued to act through the months of April and May . From the settlement up to December 31st, 1824, to that for the first quarter of 1826, the amount due from him to the United States had increased from $28,334.57 to $139,331.84. For April and May, 1826, his accounts were not settled in the Fourth Auditor's office until the 3d of June, 1828. In that settlement the following allowances, with many others, were made to him:

For advances on account of certain public vessels from 1812 to 1826, inclusive, "never before charged"   

$3,899 72

Interest on the same

1,406 58

For postages from 1815 to 1825, never before charged

115 76

For stationery in 1813, '14, and '15

29 82

--733--

For stationery from 1816 to 1826, inclusive

$884 69

For horse, and chaise and carriage hire from 1812 to 1826, inclusive

929 68

For truckage from 1812 to 1811, inclusive

1,487 08

For commission of 2 1/2 per cent, on $45,041.69, paid to mechanics and laborers in 1812 and '13

1,126 04

For commission of 2 1/2 per cent. on $111,115.51, on account of purchases for marine corps, from 1812 to 1821, inclusive; also on $32,404.12, expended in like manner

3,139 48

For extra clerk hire in 1825 and '26

1,395 83

For traveling to Washington, and attending 121 days to settle accounts

856 80

For interest said to have been paid on certain sums of money borrowed for public use in 1813 to 1816, inclusive

16,866 31

For interest upon the above interest

12,151 36

For commissions heretofore suspended, now allowed

196 92

$45,681 41

All these allowances, and many others of a less singular character, still left Mr. Binney in debt to the government $9,031.93. Yet did Mr. Southard, on the very day that the account was reported from this office, issue a requisition and pay out of the Treasury to Mr. Binney, although he had been two years out of office, and was $9,000 in debt, an additional sum of $30,000!

The only authority on which this was done was a letter from Dr. Watkins, setting forth large sums which he said must eventually go to Mr. Binney's credit, and advising the advance. Among these sums was a claim of $39,153.94 for loss on Treasury notes, which, he says, is "a claim in equity, supported by satisfactory legal vouchers," when it was known that the claim originally set up was only $22,591.97, and that nothing had occurred to increase it from 1825 to 1829.

The report of the Fourth Auditor, dated June 3d, 1828, did not pass the Second Comptroller's office until the 3d of March, 1829. Mr. Binney was then in debt to the government $39,031.93.

On the same day he rendered an account current to the Fourth Auditor, balancing this sum, and bringing the government upwards of $143,000 in debt to him!

On the 7th March the Fourth Auditor made another report upon this account, in which he also not only balanced the $39,031.93 due from Mr. Binney, but brought the government $49,033.20 in debt to him! Of course, there passed to his credit in that settlement $88,065.13!

The following is a summary of the allowances then made:

For commissions on account of purchases made for the navy yards at Philadelphia, New York, Norfolk, Washington, Newport, the Lakes, Portsmouth and Portland, the Mediterranean, and Pacific ocean, from 1812 to 1826, inclusive, 2 1/2 per cent.

$22,471 76

For commissions, contracting for building of stores, houses, wharf, slip, building ways, ship house, and other improvements at Charlestown; 2 1/2 per cent. commission on debts collected from 1812 to 1826, inclusive; purchase of land for extension of navy yard; 2 1/2 per cent. commission on sales of old copper, provisions, &c.

12,478 29

For procuring survey of navy yard, &c.

1,000 00

For procuring and remitting exchange on London from 1817 to 1820, inclusive

2,290 70

For commissions on purchases and importations of copper, kentledge, timber, provisions and coal from Liverpool, Franconia, New York, Florida, Carolina, Virginia, Baltimore, Ohio, and New Bedford, and on freight for sundry articles for the naval service, from 1812 to 1826, inclusive, 2 1/2 per cent

10,670 42

Whole amount allowed

$48,911 17

The amount claimed for loss on Treasury notes, without being positively allowed, was deducted from the amount due to the United States under certain heads of appropriation, and thus passed to his credit

39,153 96

Whole amount passed to his credit

$88,065 13

It is hardly necessary to say that most if not all of these claims were never presented, or probably thought of, until after the claimant was out of office.

The advance of Mr. Binney, as well as the allowance of interest upon interest, and extra commissions, by the Secretary of the Navy, appear the more inexplicable on account of the following facts, viz:

On the 8th April, 1828, he submitted Mr. Binney's claims to the President, with an explanatory letter, concluding as follows:

"It is perhaps proper to add, that the amount claimed by Mr. Binney is very nearly the same as that with which he stands charged on the books of this office."

On the 21st May, 1828, he returned Mr. Binney's papers to the Fourth Auditor, with a letter, in which he says:

"I see no reason to doubt the justice of a claim on his part for losses on Treasury notes, interest, &c. But I do not feel at liberty to authorize the allowance of any of the items except that for interest actually paid by him, which you will be pleased to settle. For the other claims, he will be obliged to address himself to Congress," &c.

Yet by the 3d of June he had allowed by his entries upon the vouchers, not only the "interest actually paid," but interest upon that interest, and interest upon sums never before charged, with charges for extra commissions, &c., &c., and on that day he advanced $30,000 to the man whose claims he stated to the President, on the 8th April, were nearly the same as those with which he stood charged on the books of his office!

Some of the items in Mr. Binney's last account current, which were not disallowed but only suspended, were as follows:

--734--

Interest on $39,153.96, charged on loss on Treasury notes to 31st May, 1828

$30,082 22

Amount paid for brokerage and expenses on New York funds

5,980 67

Interest on same to 31st May, 1828

4,007 04

Exchange and deposit of money in Bank of the United States

900 00

Brokerage and expenses on Treasury drafts on Providence, R. I., and Portland 

3,330 76

Commission of one per cent. on all his expenditures

$50,000 00

If all Mr. Binney's claims had been allowed, his emoluments would have been at least $15,000 per year; as it was, they were from five thousand to ten.

Almost every extraordinary allowance actually made was sanctioned by the Secretary of the Navy. There is truth, therefore, in the letter from the Fourth Auditor to the Second Comptroller, accompanying his report of March 7, 1829, of which the following is a copy:

"March 7, 1829.

"Sir: In the last settlement of the accounts of Amos Binney, late navy agent at Boston, sundry charges, the vouchers for which are herewith enclosed, were suspended, on the ground that it was not competent to the accounting officers to decide what should be considered extra official duties, for which the law allowed additional or extra compensation. That question seems now to have been settled by a recent decision of the Secretary of the Navy in relation to other items of his account precisely similar in character to those supported by the accompanying vouchers; and I have accordingly reported a balance due to Amos Binney, of forty-nine thousand and thirty-three dollars and twenty cents, excluding from the account sundry charges for loss on Treasury notes, for which he has a memorial now pending before Congress.

"T. W.

"Richard Cutts, Esq., Second Comptroller of the Treasury."

The Second Comptroller did not act on this report; the papers were withdrawn by the Fourth Auditor; the settlement canceled; the entries on the ledger of this office erased; the papers given up to a friend of Mr. Binney; and he still remains indebted to the United States $39,031.93, of which the sum of $30,000 is the advance made to him by the Secretary of the Navy two years after he was out of office, and while he was still in debt to the government upwards of $9,000.

* Commission for paying mechanics and laborers. The first allowance of this kind to pursers, appears to have originated upon the following account:

United States Navy Department,

To George S. Wise,

Dr.

For the use of his sloop, the Purser, engaged in the transportation of provisions, clothing, &c., from New York to the navy yard, and from thence to Sandy Hook, from the 15th November, 1813, to the 25th May, 1815—eighteen months and eleven days, at $30 per month 

$551 00

Cash paid clerk hire from 1st October, 1813, to the 1st October, 1818—sixty months, at $32.50 per month

1,950 00

For one-half per cent. commission for disbursement of money in paying mechanics, &c., on $101,302.33

2,532 56

$5,033 56

This account was accompanied by vouchers showing the employment of the schooner, &c. But in relation to the last item, the vouchers show that the charge was set up for the purpose of covering a loss on Treasury notes during the war. Mr. Wise himself says, under date of 11th November, 1818:

"The cause of my founding the charge on the payments to mechanics, is, first, I was performing a duty not strictly appertaining to my grade; secondly, that the Department has rejected charges of loss on Treasury notes, but has made allowances in another way as an equivalent for such losses; and thirdly, because I consider it but justice that I should not bear the loss actually sustained on the Treasury notes received by me as a public officer, to be disbursed for public purposes."

The account is marked on the back, "Allowed: J. C. C.," and was passed to the credit of Mr. Wise. This was in 1818.

This allowance seems not to have been considered an authoritative precedent for any other of a like nature. In 1821, Purser Todd, of the New York yard, advanced a claim for commission on payments to mechanics and laborers, which was submitted by Constant Freeman, Fourth Auditor, to Smith Thompson, then Secretary of the Navy, and by him rejected in the following words:

"In answer to the within note, I have to state that I know of no law authorizing an allowance of any percentage to pursers in navy yards upon disbursements to mechanics and laborers."

Nothing further seems to have been heard of these claims until 1825, when they were again presented by Purser Todd. The Fourth Auditor, Dr. Watkins, then allowed the claim, amounting to $2,000, without consulting the Secretary of the Navy at all. In 1826 he also allowed and passed to the credit of the same purser, $1,913.33, going back to 24th October, 1818, and coming up to July 15, 1826.

About this time, a claim of a similar nature was submitted to the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Southard. On the 5th August, 1826, he gave the following opinion, addressed to the Fourth Auditor:

"I have examined the claim of pursers at our navy yards to an allowance beyond their ordinary and settled compensation for paying the men, mechanics and laborers.

"The claim rests on the assumption that this is an extra duty. I do not perceive how this is proved to be an extra duty more than any and every duty performed by officers at our navy yards. They are all such as have been imposed on the officers since the establishment of the yards. The payment of the men, mechanics and laborers, is no more an extra duty to the purser, than the superintending the building of a ship is extra duty to a captain. It is the very object for which he is placed at the yard, and without

--735--

which his presence would be very little, if at all, necessary; and for being stationary to perform which, he receives the allowance of house rent, &c. It is expressly prescribed to him by the regulations. (See page 51 of the printed rules and regulations for the service.)

"As I do not, therefore, see any principle on which the allowance can be justified, I cannot hereafter approve it."

Upon receipt of this decision, negative of the claim, the chief clerk of this office directed the allowances, made upon the authority of the accounting officers only, to be re-charged; but this was countermanded by the Fourth Auditor. No further allowances of that character appear to have been made during the year 1826.

In the year 1827 an allowance of $525, for paying mechanics and laborers, was made to Purser Clem. S. Huntt, on the Philadelphia station, by authority of the Fourth Auditor, under the name of clerk hire.

During the year 1828, the following allowances were made under the same name, and by the same authority:

To Purser Winn, from 1826

$2,550 00

To Purser R. C. Ludlow, from 1821 to 1826, parts inclusive

3,050 00

To Purser E. Fitzgerald

1,000 00

To Purser C. S. Huntt

975 00

To Purser S. Hambleton

150 00

To Purser S. P. Todd

225 00

To Amos Binney, navy agent

1,126 04

$9,076 04

Previous to 23d March, 1829, there was allowed:

To Purser Joseph Wilson

$533 34

To Purser A. P. Darragh

2,450 00

To Purser C. O. Handy

270 00

3,253 34

Add allowances made by the Fourth Auditor in 1825-6:

To Purser S. P. Todd

$2,000 00

To same

1,913 33

.

3,913 33

$16,242 71

Hence it appears that there was allowed without law, and contrary to the decisions of the Secretary of the Navy, by the late Fourth Auditor and Second Comptroller, the sum of sixteen thousand two hundred and forty-two dollars and seventy-one cents, for paying mechanics and laborers, a service which is one of the purser's regular duties. But since the decision of the Secretary in 1826, the allowance has been clothed in a false name, and made upon false vouchers.

Soon after I came into office, a claim of this nature was presented under its true name and rejected. Then came one for $600, clerk hire, presented by Purser Beale, who had been stationed at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. I inquired whether he had employed and paid a clerk? He replied, "No; but an allowance of this kind is made to the purser at Philadelphia for paying mechanics and laborers." Have you, said I, any mechanics and laborers to pay at Carlisle?" "No; but I am entitled to the same allowances as the purser at Philadelphia;" and he exhibited his orders, which so stated. However, I did not construe his orders to mean that he was to be allowed the same for no services at Carlisle that was allowed for actual services at Philadelphia. Besides, on investigation, I became satisfied that this allowance, wherever made, and under whatever name, is illegal.

Purser Huntt, of Philadelphia, and Purser Clarke, of New York, have since been in the city, and urged me to make this allowance to them, at least up to the close of the late administration. As an argument in support of their claims, they stated that Mr. Southard actually approved of the allowance, under the name of clerk hire, and that a declaration of his to that effect could be produced, provided it would be taken as sufficient authority for allowing the claim. I was obliged to say, that no verbal declaration of the late Secretary of the Navy could be taken to contradict his official decision, as evidenced by his letter to the Fourth Auditor in 1826, or prove the existence of a regulation, which, if it existed, ought to have been left behind him in writing. No allowance of that nature has been made by me, or the present Secretary of the Navy.

The requisitions upon which this money was forwarded to the navy agents, as well as those charged to the distant pursers, were issued upon no other authority than the request of the Fourth Auditor, in some instances written, in others oral. Such requests or statements would not now be considered legal authority for issuing requisitions, unless they came in the official form of settled accounts admitted by the Second Comptroller.

Case of George Macdaniel.

A few days after my appointment to the office of Fourth Auditor, I was informed by George Macdaniel, one of the clerks in this office, that he was special agent for the Navy Department for the payment of small sums of money; that he was out of funds; and that he desired me to address a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, requesting a requisition to issue in his favor. In reply to the questions put by me, he said he knew of no law or regulation authorizing such an agency, but that he was appointed by the Secretary of the Navy many years ago, had continued to act ever since in that capacity, and had received as a compensation one per cent. on his disbursements.

Upon inquiry, I was directed to the following passage of an act of Congress, approved March 24th, 1804, as originating this agency:

"Be it enacted, &c., That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby, authorized to attach to the Navy yard at Washington, and to the frigates and other vessels laid up in ordinary in the Eastern Branch, a captain of the navy, who shall have the general care and superintendence of the same, and shall perform the duties of agent to the Navy Department, and shall be entitled to receive for his services the pay and emoluments of a captain commanding a squadron on separate service."

"A captain of the navy" was accordingly "attached to the Navy yard at Washington," who, for some years, "performed the duties of agent to the Navy Department." A regular navy agent was then substituted to perform these duties. Finally, without any change of the law, they were transferred to Mr. Geo. Macdaniel, a clerk in the Accountant's, and afterwards in the Fourth Auditor's office.

This arrangement seems to have been repugnant, not only to the act of 1804, but that of March 3d, 1809, the 3d section of which declares that, "exclusively of the paymasters of the army and pursers of the navy, and other officers authorized by law, no other permanent agents shall be appointed, either for the purpose of making contracts, or for the purpose of supplies, or for the disbursement in any other manner of moneys for the use of the military establishment or of the navy of the United States, but such as shall be appointed by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate."

Mr. Macdaniel was appointed by the Secretary of the Navy, and was never nominated to the Senate. His agency was so permanent that it continued at least from October, 1812, to April, 1829. His business was to disburse the public money. The sums disbursed were at first small; but increasing by degrees, they became so considerable, that his average commissions, prior to 1829, were more than $800 per year. The duty was performed mostly, if not entirely, during office hours, and sometimes employed him for days, during which he was rendering no service to the Fourth Auditor's office.

As soon as I understood the nature of this agency, I directed Mr. Macdaniel to stop payment and prepare his accounts for settlement; and his agency was transferred to the captain of the navy yard.

Mr. Macdaniel also kept the books of the navy pension fund. This service was rendered during office hours. For this he had received for many years an annual compensation of $250. The origin of this allowance May be found in the following, the original of which is in Mr. Macdaniel's handwriting:

"The Navy Pension Fund,

"To George Macdaniel.

"For compensation for adjusting and keeping the accounts of the fund, and particularly in examining and adjusting the accounts of the late commissioners of loans, as agents for paying pensions previous to the balances being transferred to the banks, from 1st July , 1817, to the 1st July , 1818, (two hundred and fifty dollars)    $250 00

"Respectfully submitted to the honorable Secretary of the Navy for his approbation; to be paid and charged to the contingent account of the fund. "Allowed: B. W. Crowninshield."

Although the allowance was more for a special than a general service, as the voucher itself shows, yet it has been made a precedent for an annual allowance of $250, from the 1st July , 1817, to 31st May, 1829. Under no other authority than the above "allowed, B. W. Crowninshield," there have been paid to Mr. Macdaniel, out of the navy pension fund, no less than $2,979.16.

Mr. Macdaniel also received at various times commissions on disbursements and purchase of stocks on account of that fund, amounting in all to $1,218.77, and claims $672 more, which have not been allowed.

An opinion of the fidelity with which he discharged his duties in relation to this fund May be found by comparing the reports of its condition, made out by him and sent to Congress at the session of 1828, with that made at the present session. In the former, it will be perceived that no information was given of the $281,884.72 belonging to the fund, which remained uninvested from July 1st, 1828, to February 17th, 1829, or of other sums to a large amount. The accounts of some of the navy pension agents had not been settled from the year 1826, as appears by a list made out at my request soon after I came into office.

This business was also done within office hours. Upon Mr. Macdaniel's removal, it was transferred to another clerk, who, in little more than a month, had brought up all arrearages. The annual allowance of $250 has been discontinued, because this is considered a portion of the regular duties of the Fourth Auditor's office; and the clerk entrusted with it has nothing to do with disbursements of any description.

Mr. Macdaniel's salary in this office was

$1,400

Allowance for keeping books of navy pension fund

250

Commissions—annual average, of late years

800

Annual receipts

$2,450

Thus a subordinate clerk received $2,450, when my chief clerk's salary is only $1,700.

--737--

From October, 1812, to March, 1829, inclusive, Mr. Macdaniel received for commissions, as special agent

$4 727 89

As agent for purchase of stocks and payment of pensioners

1,218 77

From the 1st July , 1817, to 31st May, 1829, for keeping accounts of navy pension fund

2,979 16

Whole amount of extra allowance

$8,925 82

During the same time he received as regular salary in this office

22,913 50

Total receipts

$31,839 32

During that time he had also in his hands, as appears by the balances on his various settlements, an average of about $10,000 of public money; and a portion of the Bank of Columbia stock, for the purchase of which, on account of the navy pension fund, he was allowed a commission, was bought of himself on the very day it was transferred to him.

He is now indebted to the navy pension fund about $1,200 dollars, against which he sets up a claim to sundry commissions which have been disallowed since the 20th of March, 1829, and a balance of about $370 due him on his account as special agent. The last commissions passed to his credit were $192.17, on the 14th of March, 1829, a few days before the removal of Messrs. Watkins and Cutts.

In addition to the illegality of Mr. Macdaniel's special agency, the impolicy of making an accounting officer a disbursing officer, especially when, in most cases, he stated his own accounts, is too glaring to require comment.

Case of the one hundred and fifteen extra marines.

In the estimate for the support of the marine corps for 1829, statement E, part made out by the paymaster, there is the following entry:

Amount paid to 115 marines from the year 1822 to the year 1828, inclusive, these being allowed by law to the marine corps for that time, and for which no appropriation has heretofore been made, (see the report of the adjutant and inspector for this item, which is herewith submitted)

$8,280 90

In the same statement, part made out by the quartermaster, are the following entries:

For one year's subsistence of 115 marines, being the number maintained more than estimated for, as per the accompanying statement of the adjutant and inspector, is:

41,975 rations, at 12 1/2 cents per ration

5,037 00

For clothing for the same

3,450 00

For fuel for the same

690 00

For contingencies for the same

1,715 35

Whole estimate for 115 extra troops

$19,173 25

By accident the whole estimate for the subsistence of the marine corps was omitted in the appropriation bill, including the above item of

5,037 00

This amount was actually appropriated

$14,136 22

Observing this estimate soon after I came into office, I inquired what it meant. I could obtain no information. There had been no deficiency in the appropriations; there were no troops unpaid; there was nothing due to the paymaster or quartermaster for advances of their own funds to extra troops. In fine, I could perceive no object whatever for which this money was asked and obtained.

I remained in entire darkness on the subject until about the 24th November last, when the following was presented to me as a voucher in the paymaster's account:

"United States Marine Corps,

"To Brevet Captain Park G. Howle, Dr.

"To allowance for one extra servant, as adjutant and inspector, from the 1st January, 1821, to 30th December, 1828, is seven years and nine months, at $14.84 per month $1,380 12

"Received, Washington, 1st of October, 1828, of Captain Joseph L. Kuhn, paymaster of the United States marine corps, one thousand three hundred and eighty dollars and twelve cents, in full of the above account.

"$1,380.12.

"PARK G. HOWLE, Adjutant and Inspector."

On the back of this paper is the following endorsement, in Mr. Southard's handwriting:

"I understand this account to form one of the items in a part of the recent estimate for the marine corps, and to be embraced in that estimate. This being so, its allowance must depend upon the passage of the appropriation. If it be passed, let the account be paid.

"S. L. S."

"December 15, 1828."

Not finding any appropriation which seemed to embrace this account, I was told, on inquiry, that it was probably intended to be covered by that for the 115 extra troops. I immediately wrote to the paymaster, copying the above endorsement, and adding:

"As the appropriation passed, and you have paid the amount, will you have the kindness to point out to me that part of the estimate in which it is embraced? I am unable to find it."

--738--

I received the following answer:

"Paymaster's Office, Marine Corps, Navy Department, November 24, 1829.

"Sir: In answer to your letter of this date, I have to state that the amount paid to Lieutenant Howie, for an extra servant, I understand to be embraced in that part of my estimate for the year 1829 in which an appropriation is asked for the payment of 115 marines, over and above the number authorized by law for the United States marine corps.

"I am, respectfully, sir, your obedient servant, JOS. L. KUHN, P. M. G.

"To Amos Kendall, Esq., Fourth Auditor of the Treasury."

Not believing that Congress so understood the matter, I rejected the claim. None other upon that fund has been presented, and the whole appropriation remains in the Treasury. It is now denied that any other claim is known which was intended to be paid out of it.

On reference to the tables furnished by the adjutant and inspector, and referred to by the paymaster and quartermaster, it will be perceived that the extra number of troops alluded to is made up by adding 58 servants every year to the actual strength of the corps, and deducting a smaller number of servants for officers at sea. There were, in fact, no extra troops at all; it is only a parade of extra servants, as designated in Captain Howie's voucher, got up in 1828. Had that account been allowed, there is little doubt that it would have been followed by another and another, until the appropriation was exhausted. That Mr. Southard knew the object of this estimate, is proved by his endorsement upon the voucher.
