amined, in n spirit of candor and impartiality, will be admitted as just corollaries
from this report :
1st. The finances of this Depaitment have hitherto been managed without fru
gality, system , intelligence, or adequate
public utility. 1 fie cardinal principles of
an enlightened economy have been viola
ted. Ignorance of the Teal fiscal ability of the Department ha long prevailed. Expenses have not been kept within the limits of income. Means have been pro portioned to the ends sought to be Htlainetl; expenditures to the benefits to he
purchased. The records of the Department, in this vital particular, have not been kept with method atnUaccuracy ; for the data they furnish convict to widely vary ing results : The accounts of there
ceipts, expenditures, and 'josses of the Department do not, in lact, illustrate, with certainty, the actual fiscal condition of the department. aSo common test or standard appears, fit any time, to have been employed to detect such casual errors as might creed in to derange the balance between receipts and expenditures; and hence the existing unfortunate excess of the latter over the former. The absence of such a test pro

The negligent p.nd unsystematic form of making and preserving mail contracts is such, that no human mind could comprehend the whole, and maintain in order so vast and complicated a machine as the General Post Odice. The contracts are now, and have, at all times, which have fallen under the observation of the committee, been most loosely constructed. It is occasionally impossible to pcnVtrate their obscurity ; often difficult to decipher their interlineations and marginal notes; and always to be doubted whether they are so framed and executed as to be available in law. An occular inspection of the Mail Contract Books can alone convey an adequate idea of the careless and con fused slate in which they are kept.

The mode of preparing advertisements for mail contracts has practically inverted the ends of the law, which enjoined it. The law designed it as a great safeguard from fraud and imposition, by bringing' the salutary principle of competition into active and beneficial operalion, usage of the Department, in conjunction vith the highly reprehensible practice of receiving amalgamated bids, has frustrated the wisdom of this precau
tion, and rendered the system of lettings, in regard to the more important routes, little more than an empty form or a bitter mockery. The interposition of the legislative power is in the opinion of the Committe, unnecessary in the instance, as they deem the existing en.clment3 adequate to their object. "4th. The practice of granting extra allowances has, at various dates in the history of this Department, run into wild excesics; some illegitimate, and there fore without an apology; and others legiti mate, but very questionable as to their expediency. To this source may be ascribed, without hazard of error, much of the embarament of 'he Department; and, in whatever aspect this committee has had opportunity to examine it, it strikes them that its practical operation has been fraught with much more of evil than of good. Among its other achievements, it has signalized most eminently ihe too rendv faith and too loose business
