quarter's falnry. The largest advance at any one time is 6,154 dolUrs —a quarter's filary is 62-50 doliare. , The particulars of this result appear in the annexed J statement. This ftateraent is riigefted t>y quarters of thi calender year, which is tic established course of ' the treasury, and a course eflential to the order of Its affairs ; that is to fay, it is eflential there (hould be certain fixed periods to which the ordinary stated dif- i burfements are referred, and in conformity with which the accounts of the treafisry arc kept. 1 3d result. On the fir [I ofOSober, 179J, th»re was < ntlually due to the President for his compensation over , and above all advances for hisufe, the sim a/846 dtl- , lars. This likewise appears from the fhtement at , foot, and entirely refutes the malevolent suggestion . of an accumulation of advances to twelve or fifteen 1 thousand dollars. 4th. RESULT. The sums ndvaricedfai the President 1 prier t* the commencement of the term tf his second I eh&ion, the 4th of March, 1793, fall short »f the sums 1 appropriated for bis compensation, 1% so dollars, thus: , The aggregate of the sums appropriated for four years from the 39th Sept. 1789, to the 23d Dec. 1791 inclusively, is Dollars 100,000 1 The amount of all the sums advanced prior to the 4th March, 1793, is 97,i.f0 f 1 Excess of appropriations beyond advances, 1,850 t It is nevertheless true that not only there have \ been frequent anticipations of the President's salary t (ai appears more particularly in the statement at i foot) but counting from the 30th of April 1789 t as ihe commencement of his compensation, the 1 sums advanced for his use t» the 3d of March 1793, f the expiration of his 'firft term of ele&ion, exceed J those a finally due up to that period by 104 a dot- c lars and 69 cents. v If on the contrary the conflru&ion were adop ted which dates his compensation on the 4th of ii March 1789, there would have been a balanee due v to him on the fourth of March 1793, 2 Sjo dvl, e lars. n But proceeding on the firft fuppojition, the t whole queltion still turns upon the legality of ad- f< vanccs- J fit was legal t® make hinj an advance in anticipation of his salary within any period of his f ele&ion—within ane quarter on account of a fuc- t; ceeding quarter,— it was equally legal to do it with- h in one year on account of a fuccecding year, and tl within one term of an election on account of a fuc- 31 ceeding term.—The only enquiry would be in ei- ti ther cafe-—Will the fata advanced be within the i h bounds of the sums before that time appropriated I p II has beea fees that the sums appropriated for the ' ei firft four years of service exceeded those advanced ! e; prior to the commencement of the second period C of election by 2850 dollars. Belides this, 011 the ei 28th of February 1793 there was a further appro- in priation of zjoo dollars—so that at.the beginning d( of the second term the total appropriation exeeded the total disbursements by 27,850 dollars. c< Thus- has it been (hewn, that the advances for fv the use of the President have been governed by a b< rule of conftru&ion which has obtained in analo- T gous cases, 01 more truly which has regulated the B' genera! course of disbursements from the Treafu- eg >y * a rule, which, I trust, has been demonstrated cr to be consonant with the couftitution and with the th laws. . It is ftfcVfß??, whether there has been any improper use or rather abuse of the at discretion whi.h is contended for; for here thtr« m is likewise ail unqyeftionable responsibility It i? Ci seen that the advances have at uo time equalled one dc quarter's salary. j n I aflc, was it ynreafonable or .unfit, if conllituti- a£ onal and legal, to afford the President of the Uni- de ted States an accommodation to this extent ? th I pledge my veracity, that I have always under flood, and t% this moment I have good reason to if be fatisfied, that the expences of the President, pr those of his houfhoid, and others incident to his m: official situation, have fully equalled if not on some pe occasions exceeded the allowance made to him by P" t for the due and regular d,(bt„fement of sos fr " m the rr eafury, lie* excliifively with the eof ottl «rs of that department ; and that except in a its v =ry palpable and glaring cafe, the charge of blame be able participation could not fall on any other per dif- ion. 4 r lich A ' between the officers of the Treasury, I take the responsibility to (tand thu.—The secretary and ■vas comptroller in granting warrants upon the treafur -7.1 "'c areboth al,fwcra ble for their legality.
