in payment of debts, and all trusts created for the use of the United States-and property mortgaged to secure the payment of debts due to them.

2. REGISTER OF RELEASES OF INSOLVENTS. In this book are registered all releases granted by the Secretary of the Treasury, under the laws of the United States for the release of insolvent debtors to the United States.

IV. Letter Books, and Book of Opinions, &c., viz:

1. REGISTER OF LETTERS. This book contains a registry of all letters received at the office of Solicitor of the Treasury, in relation to public business in its charge.

2. RECORDS OF LETTERS. These books contain a record of all letters written by the Solicitor to heads of departments and bureaus connected with them-district attorneys-marshals-clerks of courts-collectors of the customs-and all other persons, on public business-embracing circular instructions to district attorneys, marshals, &c.

3. RECORD OF OPINIONS. This book contains a record of all legal opinions of the Solicitor on important questions propounded by the President of the United States, and heads of departments, &c., in connection with the legal duties of his office, (distinct and apart from those legal opinions ordinarily required of the Attorney General.)

(4. The reports in relation to matters in suit, received from district attorneys, marshals, clerks of courts, and collectors of the customs, are filed in the order of their respective districts, which serves in the place of a registry or record.)

The Solicitor also has charge of the registers and letter records relating to "internal revenue" and "direct taxes," which were transferred to the office of the Agent of the Treasury from the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, when the latter office was abolished; and then from the office of the Agent of the Treasury to this office, when it was established in 1830. These books consist of the register of accounts of internal duties, 6 vols. ; the register of accounts of direct taxes, 3 vols.; record of letters, reports, &c., relating to accounts of internal duties, 9 vols.; record of letters, reports, &c., relating to accounts of direct taxes, 2 vols. From these books the Solicitor is chiefly enabled to make out the balances due to the United States, by late collectors of internal duties, and collectors of direct taxes, to institute suits, or take other steps for the recovery of those balances, in pursuance of the law establishing his office. See "accounts current of collectors of internal revenue," &c., chapter on the First Auditor's office, page 101.

FINIS

Accounts Current-First Series. The following list of Accounts of Receipts and Expenditures, compose the accounts current of Receiving or Collecting officers, who
paid their official expenses out of their receipts, anterior to "the Act" of the 3d March, 1849, requiring all moneys received from Customs and from all other sourees
[except postages] to be piad immediately into the Treasury without abatement or reduction." From the date of the operation of that act, on the 1st July, 1849, these
officers are required to render two sets of accounts current one to show their quarterly receipts in detail, and their quarterly deposites made daily, with the proper
vouchers; the other to show the advances made to them by the Seeretary of the Treasury, and the disbursements made by them out of those advances, to defray the
various expenses heretofore deducted out of the revenue before the residue was deposited.]
