DIANA STATE SENTINEL.

From the Washington Union. , , General Scott Pay and Allowances.

Mr. Meriwether's call Tor information a to the ums of money received from the treasury by Gen. Scott and General Pierce, and as to the character of the various item composing the aggregate amounts paid to them, bat been violently denounced by the Whig preaa throughout the Union. Mr. Meriwether, as the representative of a sovereign Slate, had a perfect right to make such a call. Similar movements have been aaade by the Whig party; and, under certain circumstances, it becomes the imperative doty of representative of the people to call for such information. The Whig press, however, has villineo and abased Mr. Mriwetber for requesting a statement of the accounts of Gen. Scott and Gen. Pierce , and it has probably fixed a tinge of prejudice on tbe public mi id by adopting a course which tends to create a suspicion that General Sootl's friends are apprehensive of the effects of exhibiting his transaction with the treasory. Jost at the eloae of the recent session of Congress, tbe Aetinjr Secretary of the Treasury communioated to the Senate the information called for by Mr. Meriwether. We hare given the papers a careful examination, and we present the result of that examination, with tbe hope that it will be candidly considered, notwithstanding the course which to Whig press has pursued. Justice to General Scott demands that his account!- should be laid before the poblic, if all of tbem are sanctioned by law. Justice to the country demands that they sboold be exhibited, if any of them are not sanctioned by law. Trntu demands a full statement, no matter what tbe result may be. The papers transmitted are I. A letter from the Secretary of War, relative to the balance of contribution v ate., received in Mexico, and withheld to the present time without authority of law, amounting to 'f7'?83 II. A letter from P. Clayton, the Second Auditor of the Treasury, communicating four papers: 1. A statement showing the amount of pay propert subsistence, forage, and allowanoe for servants, received by General Scott from July 1, 1815, to June 30, 182. (This statement includes an item of J1.095 for treble rations for one year, paid in Marob, 1839, on account of expenses in tbe Cherokee country, and on the northern and northeastern frontier ; and an item of $775 for transportation of baggage to and from Europe, and allowance for fuel and quarters while there.) AM items of this statement arvunt to $203,779 71 t. An exhibit of parments to Gen. Scott for services f t'n Me line of hit duty. They amount in the asigregate to $12.867 93 3. The correspondence relative to an allowance paid at the Register's office to Gen. Scott for personal ex penses and loss in exchange, beyond his pay in the army, Juring a visit to Europe. 4.

20,373 40 Of General Scott's regular pay and allowenctt we have nothing to say, for he was entitled to them by law; but his extra aliowtneet need explanation and require comment. Oificers in the army are allowed forage for a number of horses, regulated by their rank, and allowances are also made lor a number of servants regulated in tbe same manner. For those two it-ras Genera! Scott baa received $45,315 34. Of course General Scoti did not actually need during peace the horses and servants which tbe laws allowed him to keep; but custom, if not lew, aanctions demands for the forage the horse would have consumed, and the expenses which would have been incurred for the servants, had they been kept We therefore pass this matter by; and the first extra allowance to General Scott in point of lime wbioh we see is this, which was paid by tbe register of the treasury in 1816: Personal expenses and loss in exchange white in Europe $2,164 79

The papers transmitted by the third auditor explain this item to tbia effect: When General Scott was about to go abroad in 1315, he was a brigadier general, re

ceiving the pay and emoluments of his brevet rank that of a major general. The administration wished to use him ia tbe capacity of a special agent during the time he might be in Europe; and, as eo pensation for the trouble of the informal agency conferred on him, the

administration agreed to allow him tbe lull pay and

emoluments of his brevet rank that of major general

as if n dutv. as the following extraot from a letter

dated June 19, 1815, addressed by Hon. A. J. Dallas, Acting Sacretary of War, to General Scott, fully exput ins : "A a compensation for the trouble of this informal agency, such allowance will be made from the contingent (and for foreign interconrse as will secure you from any disappointment in the receipt of an income equal to the pay and emoluments of a major general. But you will understand tri i beyond taat amount, from whatever luad it may be paid, no compensation is to be expected on yonr part." As far as the war Department was concerned, General Scott while in Europe was a brigadier general on leave of absence; but the administration, as the extraot from Mr. Dallas's letter shows, considered the duties intrusted to him as special agent equal to a eommand in his brevet rank cf major general, promised to make good to htm the pay of that rank not from the funds ol tbe War Department, but from the contingent fund for foreign intercourse. On his return from Europe, after an absence of eleven months, General Scott charged the government with Los by difference of exchange $1,105 82 Allowance for servants and horses 1,058 97

2,164 79 The latter item for servants and horses was allowed by law to a major general on dnty at tbe time General Scott obtained leave of absence. But sooa afterwards a law was passed which regulated each matters. That law did not continue such allowances, and Gen. Scott himself speaks of the item therefor as a deficiency in bis receipts from the paymaster, being a sum which he coot-J not receive from that officer "on account of certain emissions in the net of Congress." Notwithstanding tnoe omissions of tbe law, whereby soch allowances were discontinued, Gen. Scott charged the item,

and it was paid, along with tbe item for losses by dilserei.ee of exchange, from tbe contingent fund tor foreign intercourse. This payment came to the knowledge of Mr. Calboun while be was Secretary of War, and he deducted tbe amount from Gen. Scott's pay, and allowed bun only the pay of his brevet rank with double rations, m accordance with Mr. Dallas's letter. Subsequently Mr. Calhoun's action was cancelled, and the allowance again made. Aa to the item for losees bv exchange, we only remark that all oar foreign ministers have to submit to tbem when exchange is against tbe United States. The other item contained in the register's report is a payment of sixteen dollars and thirtv cents a day lor twenty-three days, as Acting Secretary of War in 1850, while be was receiving his pay and allowances as aa officer ia Use army. On this head we content oorsolves with making tbe following extraer from an act of Coo grase approved August 23, 184$. iatended to

"onsress loc WJI assorted Groceries fresh ami good, and are projfj i r , fi fc pared to sell for cash or approved country produce, as low as any And be tt further enacted, Thai no officer , dly Give us a call ami see, tee!, and tae for yonr. rh of the public service, or any other person, selves.

The statement of the second auditor of extra allowances to Gen. Scott contains the following items: 1819 1. For per diem allowance of six dollars, made Gen. Scott by the Secretary of War, from the 22d September, 1818, to the 17th May, 1819, 233 days, for extra services in tbe compilation of a military work for tbe army, under orders of the War Department $1.428.00 1825. 2 For six dollars a day, allowed by the Secretary of War, as the estimated difference between his pay and emoluments as major genornl and brigadier general, from the 1st July. 1324. to the 31st January, 1825, while engaged in revising and publishing tbe book of Infantry Tactics and the Regulations of the Army, and preparing an abstract of those works for the use of the militia of the United States 1 ,290.00 , 3.

$12.867.93 During toe tiruo Oku. Scott was rendering tbe services for which he received extra compensation, as mentioned in items 1,2,3. and 8, amounting to $8,072, he was in the regular receipt of the fall pay and allowances of a brigadier general. Items 4, 6, and 7 arc lor services rendered in transactions with Indian trioes. They amount to $4,795 93, and cover periods of time during which Gen. Scott was m the regular receipt of his full pay and allowances. In this point we would refer onr readers to the act of Congress quoted above, and also to the fact that officers of the army can be required by law to act as Indian agents, when necessary, without other compensation than their regular pay. We have already stated that Gen. Scott was allowed, at the second auditor's office, in March, 1839, treble rations for one year, amounting to $1,095, in account of expenses in the Cherokee country and on the northern and north-eastern frontier, and tbe last item mentioned abore is a farther allowance of eight dollars a day for services connected with the Cherokee Indians m 1833. This latter item was, we understand, presented when Mr. Poinsett was Secretary of War, and disallowed; again, when Mr. Bell was Secretary of War, and again disallowed ; was finally allowed and paid by a clerk, in tbe absence of tbe Secretary of War. The third auditor's statement of extra allowances mentions a charge of $300 for house. rent here in Washington while Gen. Scott was absent in Mexico. When it was presented to the third auditor, that officer said: "Was not Gen. Scott in the field, and furnished with quarters at public expense lor tbe period charged? If so, he is not entitled to commutation at bis regular station." The charge was before the second comptroller of the treasury on the sixth of August last, when that officer remarked, according to the third auditoi's statement, "Neither law nor regulation makes a distinction between tbe Commander-in-chief and any other officer, fie is entitled to his regulated allowance for commutation of quarters when not furnished with public qnarters or tents, and to nothing more. During a portion of the period charged for, General Scott received his commutation of quarters elsewhere, and during the remainder he appears to have been provided with public quarters in Mexico. During a part of the time, also, an order of

bis own was in force that public quarters should be occupied in Mexico, and that no rents nor commutation therefor should be allowed." The sum of $12,873 03, reported by the third auditor aa money received and unaccounted for by Gen. Scott,

is a balance ot thirty thousand dollars received by uen. Scott about five years ago, during the Mexican war. The auditor states that Gen. Scott claims to have expended it for "secret services" during the war. The auditor also states that vouchers were presented in 1851, but that tbey have not been received at his office. The only remaining item to be considered is the sum of $7,835 19 mentioned in the letter of the Secretary of War. It was a commission of three and a half per cent, whioh Gen. Scott charged aa recompense for " losses, trouble, and responsibilities" on the sum of $225,291 45 which came into his hands from contributions, sales ol

captured tobacco, taxes from gamblers' licenses, etc., while in Mexico. Daring tbe war duties were levied on goods imported into Mexico, and officers of tbe army were detailed to act as custom-hoH.se officers. They retained in their hands payment for such services; and Congress, by the act approved March 3, 1349, allowed tbem compensation for the custom-house services performed by them, in the

settlement of tbeir aocounts. Contributions, sales of

tobacco, proceeds of gamblers' licenses, 8tc, did not come under tbe law, and tbe services rendered by Gen. Scott with regard to them were not such as the government has consented to pay for: consequently General Scott retains the sum mentioned above ($7,885 19) without authority of law. To avoid the suspicion ol undue bias, we submit the following extract from tbe letter of the Secretary of War: " In applying this act the act of March 3, 1849, to particular cases, doubts arose whether tbe clause allowing compensation applied to contributions levied elsewhere tha.. at ports and in the form of duties on imports. The opinion of the Attorney General was solicited on this question, and on the 12th day of March last that officer gave n opinion in the negative. According to this interpretation of the act of March 3, 1849, Gen. Scott was not authorized by that act to retain the above sum of $7,885 19, as the collections or contributions on whieh the charge was based were not made at a seaport, bot in the interior." We have thus made a fair statement of the case, making no specification of the larc amounts which Gen. Scott has received as a Major General while holding a Brigadier's commission. They are included iqjhe grand aggregate of $290,677 18. We have not set down aught in malice, nor have we sought to give to tbe facts and figures undue effect by unfair criticism or harsh comments. We present them, and leave the poblic to draw its own inferences and form its own opinion from

the large sums of extra allowances which General Scott has demanded and received while drawing regularly the pay and emoluments of his office in the army of the United States. Without attempting to forestall poblic opinion, and without wishing to prodnce erroneous impressions, we may allude to tbe extravagant expenditure which mu -t follow tbe elevation to the Presidency of one who has, like General Scott, shown a disposition to make demands upon the treasury on the slightest pretexts. The expen.es of tbe Government already exceed fifty millions of dollars a year in a time of profound peace. Tbe election of General Scott would in

crease the evil nnder which the country suffers from ex- , . . t . . .

iiavagani xpenuitures, which mast or necessity be met by taxes in one form or another. The reign of loose construction would be confirmed, and the treasury would be snrroanded by men greedv for extra allowan.
