Under thc low, tho Comptroller General has authority to examine into tho official conduct of tho financial agents of tho Government in the various cuuntics, but tho law as it stauds ia a dead letter, Unless ho bo furnished witn tho meuna to carry on Mic investigations whenever such may bo necessary.

The effiuieucy of thu puMio service could be increased und irregularities in thc dischurgc of important trusts could bc prevented, or speedily corrected, were tho Comptroller General furnished with the means to make such investigation into the cuuduct of his subordinates au might be deemed necessary for thc public good. Tho recommendation of Gen. Bratton upon this point deserves ooustderatiou. 4*olfl Real' Woiide?'s. Gold leaf was made in Egypt 1700 B. C Homer refers to it Tho temple of Solo mon was profusely gi't.

Up to the first of November there lind been 104 working days, averaging nino houni. Tho working lcroe was eugaged in grading, quarrying and building musoory.

On quarrying thcro hud been expended 3.472 days' labor wi'.h thc result of removing 4,010 cubio yards of excavation valued ut 82,400. Tho rou? woury work dono amounted in value to 82,511.75 und tho totul valuo of work dono is given at 812,210 25.
