Itwas by this system of bidding that the stationery contracts were given to Demp sey <fe Toole, whoso bids aggregated $32,850 96. instead of Blanchard <s Mohun.whose bids aggre gated $8,616 97. Another method has been to have a good understanding at the source of orders and have them shaped for yonr benefit, calling for few If any goods where your bid is below cost, and for large orders where the profits are large: to be sure and have a large stook of all snch ordered at tho close of your contract, and change yonr bidding next time, going below cost where yon have overstocked. The great rollance for profits, however, is in the purchases outside the contract sohedule, which, for the Interior Department, excluding the Patent Office, has been about fifteen por cent, and in the Patent Office nearly seventy-five per cent. All articles notin the schedule are charged at fabulous prices, though the contract provides that they shall be furnished at the lowest market rates. A recent order from the Patent Office for thirty dozen gold pens with ailver handles was not complied with, and became a subject of cor respondence between the Secretary of the Inte rior and the Commissioner of Patents on account of its extravagance, when it appeared that thirty dozen gold pens with silver handles by the con tract cost bat $2lO, and less than fifteen dozen wooden pen handles. The greatest abases have been in the Patent Office, where, heretofore, Congress has exercised no control over the expenditures. We find that, in violation of the express provisions of the law, blank books have been procured from July 1,1867, to August 31,1868, amounting to $18,2ul 02,and at prices outrageously exorbitant. We also find that they have procured printing against law, and in defiance of it, to the amount of $32,329, at prices which become staggering by their extrava gance. This was the practice under Mr. Theater and continned by Mr. Stout. When Commissioner Foote entered npon the duties of the office his attention was called to sta tionery bills for approval, Finding such quanti ties of floods charged, and at each prices os to excite his attention, he took time to make in quiries in regard to them, and became convinced that the prices were beyond reason and the quan tities uncalled ter by the requirements of the office. Further examination convinced him that great frauds and abases had been practiced in the supplies. He made complaint to that effect to the Secretary of the Interior, who ordered a com mission to investigate his complaints, consisting of B. F. James, Norris Peters and E. W. W. Griffin —one appointed by the contractors, one by the Commissioner and one by the Secre tary. . He discharged the messenger, 8. J. Frasier, who certified to the delivery of the goods, and placed Mr. Charles R. Thomas in charge of supplies and purchases on the 24th of September. He required all orders to be entered, upon an order-book and all heads of rooms to keep a pass-book, upon which their requirements were entered, and the result is that the bills have averaged less than $2(15 per month, with abun dant supplies and a larger stock on hand in January than when thfe Bystem was commenced in September. This does not include blank books and printing, which are now procured where re quired by law. The average bills for the three months preceding this change were $7,991 14, of which 84,138-55 was for blank books and print ing, or nearly fifteen times as much as the same articles now cost. The inability of the Patent Office to account for the articles paid for is a still more disagree able matter to consider. Forty-six caveat books hove been charged and paid for since February, 1868, at $4O and $4l each, while not one of them can be found in the office. This is a book of printed forms, which could be of no use outside tho office, as testified by all parties. 818,000 printed blanks, consisting of letters, decisions, «fcc , were charged and paid for, when less than 200,000 could bo accounted for by the re quirements of the office. of file-wrappers 80,000 were charged and paid for at a cost of $57 per 1,000, and alter making liberal esti nates for those used and on hand 18,000 cannot be accounted for. Oi manila and large brown envelopes, nine by twelve, 145,000 were charged and paid for, while the quantity ott hand and used could not exceed4s,ooo,leaving unaccounted for 100,000. Of cards for models, 150,000 wore charged and paid for at $4O per thousand, while but 40,000 can be accounted for as used and on hand, leaving 110,800 unaccounted for. The above articles could be of no use anywhere but in the legitimate business of the Patent Office as sworn to by all parlies. Vast quantities of other articles cannot be ac counted for in the office, but as they might have been made useful elsewhere, may have been pur loined. We give a few cases of the many in evi dence—of eyelets, 1,820 boxes were'paid for but only 390 boxes would be required for the busi ness of the office; four and a half dozen press copy books bought and paid for, but none to be found; 890 sheets French tracing paper bought seldom if ever used, and but twelve sheetß on hand; 151 reams yellow envelope paper bought, but not over 10j<i reams can bo accounted Tor -1.00G.000 envelopes paid for, while the ÜBes of the office would amount to übout 150,000. Of taffeta ribbon 10,100 pieces wero paid for, and 1,999 grosß of rubber bands, and there was a like extravagance in the other articles. The pricCß charged were as extravagant as the quantities. We give a few coses : Books worth ®9 are charged at $45; cash books, worth $5, Charged at $25; cards, worth about $3 per thou ar* charged at $4O; printing envelopes, *-,.50 per thousand, are charged at ®' o; worth about $2 50 per tbou charged at $5O; printing 500,000 at r n a’^- h “ l,h P er thousandfeharged comc tediou e % Vh/ r ° KiVethem aU « be “OHbcDger who had custody oi the goods and certified to their delivery certi ‘g* ‘ O Ju n e e C0 24 re to D ffi, of^ t: whtehJau $7,183 20. From July 3to July His assistant kept a memorandum of all the or ders given and tho goods received in the absence & Zf®’ th ° gro66 am ° U « - v,lue How tho commission who were appointed to Investigate the complaints made by Commis eloner Foote to the Secretary of the Interior with all these facts in testimony before them could find no evidence of abase or fraud on the part of the contractors, white they do find and report to the Secretary of tho Interior “that the loss to the Office since July; 1867, has boen $81,518 46.” Is beyond otic comprehension. They hod evidence before them, ana state in-' thoir report that these contractors had charged in their bill for one month and were paid for printing 17,000 patent ■ heads more than they have everdoUvered, at $l4O per thousand, which are now procured at a cost of $25 per thousand, and that they still hold 40,- 000 sheets of bond paper belonging to the Gov ernment. It.ia difficult to conclndo what woutd be an abuse if charging and getting pay at this rate for work to the amount of $2,389 in one month inore than was performed'was not ono. In ahotherof the) findings of the commlttco we were surprised, considering Us attempted results. They ; were limited in their range of,powers to the .complaints made by the Patent Offico. and when they decided to enter npon-the consideration of the qnestlon.whether Dempsey & O'Toole had a contract for undelivered bona paper, which was not a matter of complaint, and not legitimately before them, the Patent Office protested against 1L Yet with the law specifically requiring all contracts to bo made in writing, after advertising for proposals where the exigencies of the service' do not forbid the delay, they fonnd a contract verbally,made, for 600,000 sheets of bond paper at tight ,cents per sheet, about half of which was undelivered and unpaid for, to exist, without any shown exigency, which would even warrant a purchase In open market, without a wntten agreement, withont even a written order, but upon the testimony of one of the parties in interest—the statement of an employe "of tho Patent Office that tho acting commissioner said they would have to take the paper, coupled with’ the; drawing of a warrant o’n the Treasury, for $24,000, designed to be need for its payment. Having entered upon the consideration of that matter if is unaccountable, if thoy desired to have all the facts, Why- they should not have : called Gen. Stout, the acting commissioner, as a witness, who is alleged to have made the contract and who was in close proximity to their place of sitting. The committee find the following facts from . the evidence In regard to this bond paper:— Pbllip.&Solomons, former contractors for sta tionery with the Interior Department,held a con tract for printing specifications with the Patent Office, for which the office furnished bond paper, bnylDg it of Philip <fc Solomons at eight cents per sheet, and nsing net far from 300,000 sheets per annum. When. Dempsey & O'Toole obtained the Interior stationery contracts they claimed the right to furnish this paper as it was required. The matteT became tho subject of consideration between tho contractors, and the acting Com missioner and the Secretary of the Interior, and resulted in the purchase at different times of 51,000 sheets for patent heads. Philip & Solomons having 65,000 eheete on hand for printing specifications. General Stoat, then acting commissioner, states that he sent a communication to the Secretary of the Interior advising the purchase of a largo lot of bond pa per, and BtatiDg that he would do so if ordered or granted permission. This was given for 300,000 sneets, and a warrant drawn for $24,000 to make payment, and advanced to the contractors, and a bond taken from them as security for the delivery of the paper. This statement Is confirmed by the committee who made the award of contracts for the Interior Department, who say that it was known by one of their number that 300,000 sheets of bond paper had been purchased before the bids were opened, and hence they disregarded the bidding for that article, knowing the Govern ment would not want any. Gen. Stoat farther testifies that be was given to understand by the staff of his superior, the Secretary of the Inte rior, that it would be agreeable to have another like quantity purchased, and that he had a warrant drawn for $24,000, in anticipation of an order to make the purchase, for its payment; bnt as there was no immediate want for paper which would warrant him ip making the pur ebase.and as the directions to make the purchase did not come down, he addressed a communica tion upon the matter to the Secretary of the In terior, to Which he received no answer, and for that reason declined to make any order for the paper. It is perhaps due to General Stoat to say that he testified to being in office temporarily as acting Commissioner, and followed the routine be found established and made no changes bnt snch as lie was authorized or directed to make by liis superior. It is also due to Dempsey & O'Toole to state that we think they were war ranted in believing the purchase would be effect ed, and had the paper in controversy manufac tured in anticipation The law in regard to makine contracts for sup plies is very clear and explicit: yet this commis sion, withont any advertisement, without any ur gent necessity, without a written contract or written order, and withont even inquiring of the only person who could make the a contract to exist for 600,000 sheets of botiiKpa per of the value of $48,000, one-half of whteh. had been de ivered; and Hpon the report made of their finding the Commissioner of Patents was ordered by the Secretary of the Interior to make payment for 300,000 sheets of bond paper at the price of $24,000. This will appear the more strange when we state that the whole amount of purchases for the Interior Department of sta tionery, in all its forms and for all its bureaus, excluding the Patent Office, for which a contract was made, will amount to but little if any more Id the last eighteen mouths than this single item, which the Commissioner of Patents is ordered Id pay, and which wo believe Congress ought to forbid for these reasons. .$B,OOO 00 . 24 00 .$8,024 60 ...$2,500 00 ... 550 56 61 36 10 50 . .$3,112 42 If it was a purchase where the urgency would not allow advertising and a written contract, and it w«b ordered from a contractor, he is bound to furnish it at the lowest market prices. These contractors have furnished 351,000 sheets of bond paper and been paid $28,060. Its highest testified cost was $7,020; add fifteen per cent, for profit, $1,053, and yon have $8,073. Deduct this from the amount paid and it leaves them over $20,000 above a fair profit on a bill of $28,080. Or, to slate it in a different wav, $24,000 of this amount was advanced to the contractors for their busi ness, which they wore to canoel in paper at four times its cost, and this order is to pay them a further sum of $24,000 for what cost them $6,000. .And besides, the whole transaction was against law and surrounded with such manifest evidences of a purpose to obtain from the government money without adequate consideration,as to war rant Inc conclusion that if even a veroal order or agreement was made it ought not for a moment to stand against tbe written contract to furnish all articles not on the schedule at the lowest mar ket price. We therefore recommend the pas sage of the following joint resolution: Resolved by the Senate and House of Represen tatives of the United Stateß of America, In Con gress assembled, That tho Secretary of the In terior is hereby directed not to receive or make payment for 300,060 sheets of bond paper claimed to have been ordered of the stationery contractor forlhe Interior Department at a cost of $24,000; and also that he withhold payment on any bills claimed to be due to said contractors; the earn of $2,380, charged aDd received for printing 17,000 patent heads, which work was uot performed by them; and also the value of 40,000 sheets of bond paper at eight cents per sheet, now in the custody of said contractors, unless tho same is returned; and that he also deduct from their unpaid bills the amount charged for goods (uot included in their contract) above the prices at which like goods are sold in open market. All of which i 6 respectfully submitted. A. H. Laklin, Jaooh H. Ei.a, H. L. Caiuc. [Translated for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] KUVBEHOLD HECIFEB.
