HiRRiSBUito, Feb.' 17 The Senate Finance Committee continued the investigation this afternoon into the management of the State funds, Air. BUllngieit in the chair, ah the members of the committee tooK part in ques tloning the witnesses. Mr. Mankey presented a monthly statement of the atoms deposits with dmerent bants and banters irom May 3, ibu'J, to January 31. ism These statements snow mat tne amounts fluc tuated from month to month. The accounts known as "vault" having been questioned, are herewith submitted: Yault account May 8. 1869. $211,303 MayBl 358,603 June 30 340,330 " July 31 346, 172 August hi a,i8V " September 30 ;.. 471,043 " October 31 470,995 " November 30 i. 5,263 ' ' December 81 , 283, 940 " January 31, 1870... 8,488 Mr. wauace asited oi wnat the "vault ' ac count of May 2, 1809. consisted? Mr. MacKey repied that it was bis predeces sor's vault accoant, consisting of cash, items In bank ana oi cnecKs. Mr. Mackey, in. answer to further questions, acknowledged tnat nia account naa been in creased and decreased as above stated. There bad been no loss to the treasury in any of the items. The "vault account" had sometimes been increased by sight checks that he had carried from time to time to oblige corporations, Every dollar of It was payable at. sight. This was not an unusual thing in bank accounts, Sometimes these corporations as friends woald ask the Treasurer to accommodate theut and send their checks to settle the accounts. They were accepted in mommy payments as casb This was virtually giving them extra time to pay, but he felt it was just as sate as any bank In which he deposited it. It was the custom of iormer treasurers to ao tms xuing. tne corporations raid by vouchers. . lie had never received vouchers as vault account, but kept separate accounts. The chocks were lust sigbt checks on banks, which were held in the vault and counted as cash. He was told that be could get the money at any time. He had never satisfied himself that deposits had been made In banks on which the checks were drawn, but they had always been paid when called for. The ttnderstajudlng was that (the checks would not be presented until i he ' needed them. The custom had existed for years. Q. By Mr. BilUngfelt. Does not the principal evil consist la that vault account t A. Oh, uo ! Not any more evil in that than by letting money lie in bank. By putting in bank you accommo date the bank. By holding you accommodate the persons who are paying the taxes to the 8tate.' .''., j Q. By Mr. BilUngfelt. Does it often happen that papers are deposited In the: vault where there is in reality no special security ? A. I suppose that does often happen. Mr. Brooke. I see an Item of; one hundred thousand dollars deposited wltli J. Bldgway. You appear never to have badj any of that money?, a. I never have, sir; I Was reuuested to leave it there, and asked RUlgway t I something in my hands to secure tne; this mere, anu aueu jimgway to put was a ' deposit with an individual broker. Kldgway rut tip sufllcicnt collaterals toseenre me against ny lorn. This was not a check in the vault, but a (Ipporll In the broker's office. Mr. Mackey continued further by saying that he saw no reason why tL? Bute Treasury should not be conducted on the same principle as banks. They got along very well. uy Mr. uuiingicit. Wbat aia tne vaui account conslut of? A. I never took paper from an individual, but carried it as cash In the vat it. O. By Mr. Bllllnefelt Was It the system that certain banks probably carried It for the benefit of Individuals? While it was called bank ac count, was there any part of the balanoe belong ing to the State Treasury deposited in any banks for the benefit of certain Individuals? A. Well, 1 suppose very likely that some of the banks and some of my friends may haze had advan tage of it in some way. I believe It is custo mary where a man can serve his friends to ac commodate them. 1 was a llttlo particular about my vault account. I took some from Irwin that was not exactly in the shape I de sired. I was not obliged to do it, but took it at the suggestion of parties interested. I receipted to him for the balance as cash, because I be lieved I would get money for It, and so I did. u. Mr. uiuingieit can we examine tnat Dana account at that time ? A. Yes. sir. U. Do vou keep a private record of that vault account? A. Yes, sir. Q. The laws require that the vault account shall be kept open for inspection of the Legisla ture. Was that prlvato record ready to be ex- cuiucar A. Any person who came into tne office could have copied or looked at It. w. ui wnat it consisted ? A. les. sir. Mr. Mackey denied that the deposits had been made In banks to benefit private individuals; but that he would certainly not object to that bank discounting a man's note becauso the man had asked him t get the deposit. I suppose in dividuals would have interest in it, or they would not ask it. Q. By Mr. Bllllnefelt. Wero any deposits made for individuals who were to have the use of money before deposits were made? A. I think I know what you mean. There was one deposit in which I did not check all the deposits in bank. I guess one of my friends got the benefit of it. lie said he would have to sell some securities if I checked ont all of It; but I did do so. One of the friends of the party and of mine requested me not to ao so. Mr. Mackey said that no other deposit had been made with the understanding that some body else was to borrow it out. u. By Mr. Bllllnefelt. Do I understand you to say that deposits were made at the request of certain individuals, and you presumed that tney got ice osneut oi it t A. wo, not tnat; out i sup pose they got the benefit of it. Mr. Macney saiu in explanation oi tne suauen decrease of the vault account, that be simply had deposited checks in bank. Nearly every dollar was of corporations. Sixty days was sometimes the longest time of having such chess. In re ference to the warrants none had ever been re fused payment, except school warrants from delinquent counties. This was not the law, but a practice for years. I thought it was the law until about a month ago. The Marine Hos pital warrants, at Erie, were three-fourths paid before due. Q. By Mr. BilUngfelt. Were there any war rants drawn for charitable institutlonb waose payments were deferred for want of funds In the state .treasury r a. no, sir; i tnins i Know what you mean, viz. : A newspaper cnarge, tnat 1 reiusea to pay curwen, ot tue Treasury at the time, but Dr. Curwen said that any part of It would be satisfactory, and that he only wanted $15,000 at that time; that is my casnier s story.
