MACKEY ON TUB STAND. The examination then commenced. Mr. Muckey was sworn aud questioned by feiintor White. Question. Are you State Treasurer ? Answer. Yes. Q. Whnt Is tho balance in the Treasury now ? A. I cannot .ell the balance in figures exactly without referring to the books. I thiuk about seventeen hundred thousand dollars. My re port plves figures to tho 30th of November, and my books will snow any day you iook at weui. HINKINO FUND IIOXUS THEIR AMOUNT AUD DIS POSITION. Q. What amount of bonds are there in the Trtoniry? A. Six millions three hundred thou sand 1'ermsylvania Kailroad, aud thirty-five hun dred thousand Allegheny Valley Kailroad. Q. To what fund do these bonds belong ? A. Sinking Fund. K. Where are those bonds ? A. In the vault. Q. Where have they been daring your term of tflic ? A. They never have been out of the . ault, except to show to the Attorney-General. Q. Did you ever use those bonds for the pur pose of speculation ? A. They never were out of tho Treasury, except at the time I mentioned; I never used them in any way. WnHRAUOUTS OP MONET DUB THE STATU. Q. Where is the money that is due the Com monwealth ? A. Scattered over the State ia various banks. Q. Are the banks believed to be solvent ? A. I have every reason to believe bo, with the ex ceptlon of two. Q. State what these exceptions are ? A. The failure of a bank in 1S01 and 185. Ono had about tcveu thousand aud one about three thouennd. U. Was tho money in your hands ready to be need at any time to meet tho demands of the (ioverriment ? A. Yes, sir; every dollar of it, except the advances mado to members of the Legislature and other officers, for which I get no pay. THB MONEYS ALWAT8 AVAILABLE AND NVER MISAPPLIED. Q. With that oxceptlou is all tho money in the Treasury liable to bo called on for the pur purea of the State ? A. Yes. Q. Has there ever been a timo since you came into oil lc e that nil the money of the Common wealth. 1ms not been available ? A. There has never been & time that every dollar received by me was not subject U '-all at a moment's notice. . Q. Have you ever used money of the Com monwealth for the purpose of speculation in' gold or stocks? A. I have already answered this question; I never did have a dollar of the Commonwealth's money invested in stocks or bonds or anything of tho kind. Q. Have you ever refused to pay any of the liabilities of the Commonwealth on proper de mand? A. Hot when due. I may explain, I do not know we have any authority, but it has been the custom of this office to refuse to pny school warrants of dalinquent counties. This was done by legal advlco as matter of policy. 12- J-lave you ever usea any muuey oi iuc vum monwenlth for the purpose of controlling the (elections? Answer by Mackey Do you mean money of the Treasury ? Mr. White Yes, sir. Answer by Mackey No, sir; I have speut a little of my own occasionally, but not of tho Commonwealth's. DOW THE MANAGEMENT MIGHT BE IMPROVED. Q. I would like to have your opinion officially at to the management of tho Treasury and fundi that ebwuld be adopted. Could the management of its affairs be made better by any statute? A Very materially. Q. Please state by what measures. A. I think the restrictions upon the Treasury are unwise. It is unwise to restrict the Commissioners of th Sinking Fund to part with the bonds of the Commonwealth when they are worth more in the market than their valuation. If monoy is to be ueed at all, it is better to use it in lifting our owu securities than in any other way. HIS OPINION REGARDING DEPOSITARIES. Q. What do you think of selecting deposita ries of Government or State f uuds ? A. I never gave it much thought. I do not think there ought to be depositaries nor any money in tho treasury. If you exhaust your money you do not need depositaries. As long as you have money on hand you will have a competition for that money. Depositaries will make a fight for balances. Q. Would it be wise to select depositaries for balances that are in tho treasury from time to time to meet school and charitable appropria tions? A. You cannot run the Treasury with out having some balances. I do not care here to express myself fully, because this is not the place. 1 need" more time for such disquisition. 1 have no doubt that the committe could pre pare a bill to meet the exigencies of the case. Senntor Wallace now commenced an examina tion of the witness, and objected to the de sultory character which the questioning had as sumed". MANNER OF RECEIVING. Q. Give us a detailed statement of the way, manner, and time at which moneys are paid into the State Treasury. Does your dally re port fchow that ? A. Yes, sir; the books show that. , Q. Do the books show all moneys paid Into tho State Treasury each day ? A. Yes; perhaps not each day, but tho exact amount. Interruption, by State Treasurer Kemble, who said there was a book kept with a detailed state ment. Mr. Mackey replied: Yes, sir. Q. In your Treasur report is there a detailed rtutemeut? A. Yes, sir. now THE FUNDS ARE KEPT. Q. Tho next branch of this inquiry is where nnd upon whnt condition are these moneys kopt. When did you cotno into office? A. On May a, lso'.t. (j. What amount of money came into your Lands on that day? A. I receipted for about eleven hundred thousand dollars. Q. From whom? A. From tho former Trea euier. Q.. Of w hat was this eleven hundred thousand dollars composed? A. Money deposited in bniiks, nnd cheeks. Q. (iive us the items? A. That I cannot do from recollection. O,. Cuu you do it by examination of book? A. I do not know even if I could do that; I can only plve gross amount. (. I want a detailed statement of what that money was made up in; in what condition tho moneys were when they came luto your bands. You fay it was not cash ? A. Could give you details "from books, but not from recollection. It was moneys in bunks, sight checks, uud torn other things. (. Can you give us detailed statements o tbcee itt.b? A. I do nt think I euu. CL Caw you giv u a portion of them ? A Ts. O. Cnn you give us that at our next meeting ? A. Yes. it you desire It. O. What was tho balance in tho Treasury on .'iit.unry 1, lt-70 ? A. I annot give you from memory, but can from booK. Q. (i!ve it to ns. Have you an approximation of how much it wns ? A. No, sir. CJ. Cnn yon give a detailed statement of how that money was made up, aud where deposited, at our ucxt meeting? A. Yes, sir. THE DEPOSITARIES Q. Whnt banks were tho principal deposl tniics? A. Ihoee in Philadelphia, Hnrrisburg nnd Pittsburg were the largest depositaries. Q. What banks in Philadelphia? A. Farmers' nnd Mechanics', which is tho depositary by statute; .Tnv Cooke & Co., Kensington National Bunk. J. IS. Kiilgway & Co., and the Union Liuiking Company. These are all I can think of just now. Q. hnt were the depositaries In Harrison"-? A. Dougherty Bros. & Co., First National liana, Mechanics Bank, State Bank aud Dauphlu Do poMtary. Q. What were tho depositaries in Tlttsburg? A. Allegheny National Bank, Allegheny Savings Bank, German Savings Bank nnd Mechanics' Savings Bank. y. What was your balance with J. E. Rtdgway on the 1st of August last? A. It was never changed from Mr. Kldgway from which I received it from my predecessor, namely: Ono hundred thousand dollars. y. That is since you came into office? A. Ycb, sir. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. y. Have you received any consideration for permitting that money to remain there? A. I cur: not answer that question if I am to be ar raigned for supposed malfeasance in office. y. I simply want tho facts. A. If I am to be arraigned I want to be arraigned according to law; I really want to give you tho freest and fullest exhibition of the Treasury as far as I am concerned, but I do not wish to be placed in a false position. Remarks by Wallace: I have ne threats to make nnd no promises to make. It would be absurd for us to make threats and equally ab surd for us to promise that tbero should be no prosecution. Our duty is well defined. We simply wnnt to knoyv what is the present and pnit condition oi the treasury. A, While 1 am perfectly willing to give you tho exact position of the Treasury, If it is to involve me in a question of prosecution, I decline to answer this qucstiou. MONEYS ON DEPOSIT. Q. What nmount of money was on deposit in tho First National Bank of Hnrrisburg on the first of August last? A. That I could not tell you, sir. y. Can you give us an approximate statement? A. No, I cannot. y. Cnn yon furnish us that? A. Yes, sir. y. Will you do so? A. Yes, sir. y. What amount of money was on deposit in the Allegheny National Bank on the 1st of August last ? A. I cannot answer any of the questions from recollection. y. Please give us all of them up to the 1st of August last. Senator Billingfelt hero suggested that Mr. Mackey give the committee the balances at the end of each month. Mr. Mackey said that he could do it. yuestion by Mr. Wallace Are the moneys at nil times liable to draft ? A. Yes. y. Were these depositaries at all times nolo to sustain the drafts of your department ? A. I do not know thnt they were without giving them Eoine trouble. I do not thiuk that any bank would keep its money idle. .y. Has not the practical working of the sys tem been to permit the banks to use it by loan Inn a a r-r.tnlr. y. Could you not have" urtm-u,ia a draft upon the First National Bank at Harris burg, of whatever balance was there, and have it honored promptly? A. I suppose it might have been honored, but it might have given them a great deal of trouble. PRIVATE 8PBCULATI0NS. y. In answer to General White, you said you never had put any money of the Commonwealth to your individual use in speculating in stocks nnd gold ? A. I have never speculated with a dollar of auy money belouging to the Treasury. y. Had you a private account as well as the accounts of the Commonwealth with these banks? A. I think I have a little account here with Dougherty & Brother, and I have one at my own bank, but none at any other. y. Whnt is the account of the deposits in the Harrisburg First Nntioual Bank ? A. I cannot uive It to you. exactly. y. Were you ever engaged in speculating with the money that was to your own account in any of these banks during your term of office ? A. I had a right to do with my own money as I pleased. I do not suppose being Treasurer would keep mo from using my own money as I deemed necessary. y. What amount of money were you worth when you went into the Treasury ? A. Am I re quired" to answer that question ? Reply Not unless 3'ou see fit. A. I think I was worth twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars. y. What has been tho amount of deposits to your private account in tho Allegheny National Bank ? A. Just ns it lias been hcretoiore, all along; I could not tell you there never has been any of the Stato money to my account. O. Bv Mr. Brooke Is that the bank with which you were connected before coming here ? A. Yes, sir; nnd I am connected with it now. y. By Mr. Wallace Were you Cashier of it? A. ies. of course; you understood me to say that there was no public money put to my pri vate account. O. What amount of money are you worth now? A. I cannot tell you; I do not think I am much changed. y. Are you worth no mora money than you were before? A. Not that X know of; I would be triad to know it. y. Have you made no profit nor benefit out of the funds of the Treasury other than your salary? A. I cannot answer that question. O. Have vou used any money of tho Common' wealth for your own private purchases at any time? A. No. y. Have vou received any Interest or compen sation, direct or indirect, at any time lor use oi any moneys of the Commonwealth? A. I thought the other question covered mai. O. Any interest or compensation, direct or indirect, for moneys of the Commonwealth? A For the same reason I decline to answer. If I nm to bo arraigned I prefer it to ba done iu the right w ay. DAILY BALANCES. y. By Billingfelt Did I understand you to say that these accounts are balanced every day ? A. The books are balanced aud cash settled every evenimr. y. Did that balance consist of different kinds of moneys and investmeuts and securities? A. Yes. O. Bv what term do vou designate those balances? A. Bnuk account, drawer account, aud vault account. y. By bauk accounts do you mean tho moneys deposited in the various banks of the Commou wealth? A. Yes; and by drawer accounts all the monevs In tho drawer. y. Ca6h that they used in making change within the vault? A. Yes, sir. y. You keep your accounts iu your books as to what the vaults consist of? A. Yes; keep it as vault account, y. Do you designate on your books ? A. No; lust keen it as vault account each day. y. Put on the table without naming of what it consists t A. ies. O. Is there any record, either public or prl vate. kept of that vault account ? A. There at a Tirivntn rieord kept always. Mr. Billingfelt It may be well to inquire of what these vault accounts consisted of at the time those baUnces were struck, or what they now consist of. I would not press this question now, but in preparation of the detailed state Hunt. . SOLVENCY OF DEPOSITARIES. Mr. Wallace O. Under the resolution of the Semite we lire required to investigate the prac tice of the State Treasurer for ten years past. Ykat has been the practice in regard to tho U'-O of ti e Stnlc funds ? A. I think yon havo gono through mo pretty thoroughly on this mbject; you will have to examine details for that. 12. You know no practice? A. I know my own prnellre. y. By White Yon speak of practice. You know your own practice. Has it been your practice to select solvent banks for your depo sitaries ? A. I have little interest in that. I bnve a bond of eighty thousand dollars staring me in the face. y. Can you stato whether In selecting your depositaries you are careful to not select solvent banking houses in the Commonwealth? A. I have never made any deposits that I did not think I was amply secured in. y. State whether you have inquired ns ,to the current condition of those depositaries ns to solvency? A. Being engaged iu the business, I ought to bo tolerably familiar with most of tLetn; I thought I wns; I think so yet; I. think my successor will get all the money lie is enti tled to. HE FOLLOWED Tn ROUTINE OF TUB OFFICE. y. Something tins been said about the practlco of your predecessors. State whelhcryour policy in selecting the depositaries for your balauee differed from your predecessors ? A. About the Mime ns ever. I have pursued tho routine of tho ollicc, so far as I know, in most cases. There aro some in which I did not. y. By Mr. Brooks Did you think those In which you did not were an improvement ? A. i thought so. HIS IDEAS ON THE SALARY QUESTION. Q. By Mr. White There is some talk about a salary of seventeen hundred dollars; I bellevo that is the salary allowed by the State ? A. Yea, sir. y. Do you think that is sufficient T A. Not if I had to go through an examination of this kind often. y. Do yon thiuk a salary of seventeen hun dred dollars is enough ? A. No, sir; I do not. y. To pay for your vigilance necessary to tho proper manugemeut of the finances of the State, do you think tho salary should be increased? Certainly it ought to bo, beyond a question. y. Can a man properly discharge tho duties of that cfllce travelling from point to point looking after the condition of depositaries of the Commonwealth, and attending to current business, for a salary of $1700 ? A. Not unless he wanted to work for glory. y. Ihen, as an official, would you recommend an incrense of salary? A. Certainly; the salary ought not to bo less than $4000. THB SECURITIES. y. By Mr. Billingfelt Are the securities suf ficient? A. They ought not to be less than two hundred and fifty thousand, dollars under any circumstances. I do not care what system you ndopt the Treasurer will handle moro or lo?s; his balances sometimes will necessarily be large. He has to pay on the first of August aud tho first of February over nine hundred thousand every half j-ear. Senator Wallace moved that Mr. Mackey be requested to give monthly statements in answer to questions relating to his books. Adopted. Ex-Treasurer Kemble wanted his examination to be proceeded with to-night, beiug desirous to leave lor nome. rns request was not irranted Mr. Kemble urged that the man who made those charges (.meaning the Governor) ought to have been present ready to 6ubttnntiato them.
