In 1811, flv.cn its charter expired, that institution und its branches held only ubout two-thirds of the public i money on depositc in bank, i Under tho ubove method some !o.-ses i occ'jrcd of money in t!:c hands of collecting ! clli ;crs, ft u not kno vn that any loss imp.

After the aspiration of the charter of t .0 i first United States Bank, in 1911, more | State institutions ware employed, and the ; former s\stem was thus modified uiiil! the ! charter of a second U. S. Bank, in 1910. ,j Tho losses from 1811 to 1917 were ir.j considerable. No direct losses from banks I during thut period appear on the recorJs jof t'no Treasury. . 1 The third plan, carried into effect in 1S17, i J was tho first specific one pointed out by ' I law. It wns tiie act of Congress incori ? M poruting *he hank. It provided that tho [ j public money be placed in tiic Bank of tho \ Uni.cd .Stan's and brandies, unless th-vS??; n Ury of the Treasury should direct oihtr. , j wise. It wua left io be implied that in oh:I, or piuces ^tato banks might be employed, : as had previously been done ; accordingly, several of tho oid Stuto banks were contin, und as pubiie depositor ov, nil ! several lie v I ones were from time to time added, till i 1883, when nil the depositcs wore grade?| ally removed from ibo I*, kb Bank to tiw ' jsovcrul Statu banks. j Betweon 1818 and 1538, sonic largo j j losses occured, They were chiefly by } means of State banks, though some ha;?t pened with Collectors and Ilox-i/frs whde r the money wus in their custudy. > The defalcations bv tiio banks during thut ^ . -. period, und which Imro not sinco b ten r j collcc'ed, amount to about 81,100,003 with^ | out computing interest. Another piau was adopted from October, 9. 1838, to July, 1836, of using Slate banks . I almost exclusively. During thut period, *j no ios^i-s urc known to havu ocrured by - banks, oxeept o:i a deposito in the Bank of r Alexandria, in this District, of 827, 018, of * which SI4,207 have sinco been paid, and g: tho residue is suppoaod to be soeuru. j i From June, 1838, to May, 1887. h siini j lur method lias been pursued,except thai ?ts ! terms and conditions were specially rogul-i} 1 ItilfxJ bv u:i act of Congress. t This hat mode, as already reported to .
