Jullum at tenacem propofiti virum, Nod civium ardor prava jvbcotium, Noo vultus inflantis tyranni, Mente quatit folida. For tie Gazette of the United States. Mr. Paymaster Dallas has Seen accufedin the Gazette of the United StatM of drawing 92,000 dollars frofn the State Treafrry rn his office of Paymaster to the Pennsylvania M'litia. of placing only 40,000 dollars of this sum to h,is official account, and the residue to his private account in the Bank of Pennsylvania—os havintr kriit a large por tion of this monry more thin two \ears in his hands without fettfiiVi; his Malic accounts with the State—and of ItaVil, ■ in the mean time drawn so much out A' the bank, that his public account as an 1 tfioer. and his pri vate account taken to ,-ther. were under a credit of two thouland doll n : whereas, by his own confeffion, there was at leaf! 12,500 dollars of a balance in his hands due te>thc State.—lt hat, therefcf, been alledged that public money has been drawn by him from the Bank for other than public purposes.— It has'alfo been aflertrd that Mr. Dallas, be fidet his pay as paymaster, has exhibited a charge of commission, to the amount of more than 7000 dollars-; and that bis accounts are (till unsettled. Mr. Dallas acknowledges that h c drew ,93,009 dollars—that his accounts are yet unsettled ;—he does not deny that part wat ' placed to his official, and part to his private credit in the Bank nor that he kept the money for in or* than two years before he-, repaid any part of it—nor that he hat charged a commillion on the sums disbursed : —nor that his Bank account was under, far under, the sum which he really owed to the State Treasury. In his defence he has endeavored toefcape by dragging in the name and authority of Mr. Donaldfon ; but when the artful quef. tions »f Dallas and the ambiguous answers of Donaldfon are carefully examined we (hall /find th*t there it no real exculpation. Let us take the questions and anfwert in Mr. D's own order. 1. It it said that no money ceuld be drawn from the State Treasury by a' private per son, but that advances were made for bounty at th* rrqueft of members of the Legislature. P.ijfiiig the illegality of such advances, we are not told whether the sums that paid are exclusive or inclusive of the sum of 92,000 nor are we told how th« accounts vwre opened or the money credited in the Bank of Pcaufylvania, This cculd very easily have been done if all wat correil—now let the boekt be examined and we (hall fee whether Mr. D. took any credit for public m»ney either in his official or private capa city before the 19th September, 1794— the law passed on that day.—Here then it a clear mode of afcettaining the doubtful poiht—when it is explained let us know why part went to his public acconntas P. M. the residue to his private account. 2. It it afierted that his accounts for bounty, See. were exhibited in February 1796, and vouched to the amount ®f 48,158 dollars —-That a Communication in confluence of thit exhibition was made to Mr. Dallas and that the accounts were returned to • 4 Wr are not told what the Communication wa», whether it wai a reqnifition to fettle, or an intimation, that the account could not gcricies, or both. . sum it ought to have been fprcially men tioned, because Mr. Donaldl'on is certainly too good a man to allow any person a com th* fame time. But why not exhibit these accounts to the State officers before February 1796, and pay over the balance due, when it appears by Dallas's own qw fiion that bin accounts and vouchers wire read/ on 6tS June 1795— Why this delay. If the whole balance Was then in Bank, why not pay it over ? If there then, why not keep it there to be always ready ? 3. The accounts and vouchers for pay were rendered on 6th June, 1795, as appears by NeviJl's receipt. ■ Then why not fettle with the State of pendeJ in bounty and contingent e*ptncrs of the 'Governor's family ?—Why delay it till December 1796 ? To the very foment when Mr. Dallas's appointment as secretary was coming on, and it rtiight be doubtful whether Governor Mifflin would not re | member his abuse and desertion of l'.im oh ' the Wcftern expedition and coupling this with his def.iult in money ufiairs ; —turn him put 1 i! 4. The forage, and retained ration accounts, delayed the lettlement at the War-Office. The Accountant could not be brought to fettle although g'reat dcligcnce was used, and therefore a fund was kept to meet , contingencies. This specious Bouri(h cair deceive none but the ignorant. Congfefs on the id January 17955 pafied a law railing the pay of the militia to exactly the sum proms'" by tbf State of Pennsylvania, exclusive of bountv. Dallas was niade deputy pavmafter for the line, and had all thii mono) at his c.orr.fnand. The Sate Trea f#ty could lose nothing but the bounty , •
