Balance in the hands of M. M. Strong,

It will appear by the facts above stated that Mr. Strong claims to have paid to W. B. Slaughter, out of the monies received by him, the sum of $5,060 76. This amount, if received by Mr. Slaughter, can only be accounted for to the legislative assembly of the territory; not having been received from the treasury of the United States, he cannot be called upon to account to that department. For this amount we presume Mr. Slaughter can properly account, when called upon by the legislature. Francis J. Dunn, Esq., late SecretaryIt appears that there was issued by F.

J. Dunn, then secretary, in pursuance of an act of February 19, 1841, "to provide for the payment of the expenses of the legislative assembly," territorial bonds. amounting to

It appears also, from a communication of M. M. Strong to the present legislature, that there is in the hands of Mr. Dunn the sum of $381 50, which we suppose is now subject to the order of the legislature.

Samuel B. Knapp—

From the report of Samuel B. Kпapp to the legislature, on the 21st of December, 1840, it appears that as fiscal agent for the territory he had disbursed the sum of

Amount of balance of former appropriations undrawn, received at same time, 4,807 12 Amount of appropriation of Congress made on the 18th day of May, 1842, to defray expenses of session ending February 19th, 1842,

Amount received of appropriations made on the 24th day of December, 1842, to defray expenses of session ending April

20,000 00

Of the above amounts, the sum of $24,807 12 was received by Col. Field for the reeemption of territorial bonds issued in pursuance of the act of February 19th, 1841, which amounted to the sum of $35,766 30; leaving a balance of bonds outstanding of $10,95918. The sum of $23,030 01, has been disbursed for the redemption of the scrip issued in pursuance of the act of February 19th, 1842, which amounted to the sum of $38,310 67, leaving a balance outstanding of $13,280 66. What portion of the above outstanding bonds and scrip has been or will be allowed and paid at the treasury department at Washington, under the act of congress of the 29th of August, 1842, for the payment of arrearages, we are unable to state, as we have no means in our power of ascertaining the same. The sum of $3,500 00 was issued in scrip for interest on territorial bonds, which amount will not be paid by the United States under that act. The above sum of $3,500 00 is included in the amount of scrip issued. The act of February 13th, 1841, directing the secretary of the territory to issue certificates or bonds, bearing an interest of 10 per cent. per annum, to the several creditors of the territory, held out sufficient inducements to them to present their claims to the secretary for bonds, and the presumption is, that almost the entire indebtedness of the territory up to that time was bonded.

The secretary of the territory, in his report to the legislature on the 18th December, 1841, estimates that there were appropri ations to the amount of $4,000, for which no bonds had been issued. If this estimate be correct, the indebtedness of the territory, on account of appropriations made previous to the 19th February, 1841, and unadjusted, would amount to the sum of $14,

959 18.

TERRITORIAL APPROPRIATIONS.

By act of 18th February, 1842, there was appropriated to be paid out of the territorial treasury, the sum of $1,783 22; for which sum warrants have been drawn on the treasury, amounting to $1,353 22; leaving a balance of appropriations amounting to $430 undrawn.

By a bill which passed both houses at the last session of the legislature, which failed to become a law, there was appropriated to be paid out of the territorial treasury, the sum of $1,419 30. Total amount of warrants drawn on the

treasurer of the territory, is, To which should be added the sums appropriated by act of February 18th, 1842, for which no warrants have been issued,
