From which there is to be made a
further deduction of the amount of
disbursements, as ascertained from
accounts for periods prior to and
in the fiscal year ending June 30,
1863, which have been received and
registered, but of which the required
administrative examination has not
been made, viz:
Prior to the fiscal year......... $14,460,388.14
In the first quarter............ 17,356,069.88
In the second quarter............ 53,336,583.84
In the third quarter............. 54,034, 182.58
In the fourth quarter............ 54,102,022.58

193,289,247.14
Less amount shown to have been
received from sales of property,
rent of buildings, &c............ 4,193,824.75

Which is made up as follows, viz:
1. Amount of requisitions drawn in favor of officers,
the accounts for disbursements of which have not bee
received at this office............................. 46,537,380.43
Of this amount, $2,349,192.33 was drawn in the
fiscal year ending, June 30, 1862.
The balance, $44, 188, 188.10, was drawn in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1863, and should have been
accounted for as follows, viz:
In the first quarter............. $1,744,778.10
In the second quarter............ 9,173,090.00
In the third quarter............. 15,724,713.00
In the fourth quarter............ 17,545,607.00
--------------
44, 188, 188.10
A large portion of this, although remitted during
the fiscal year, could not have been received
before its termination, and will be accounted
for hereafter. The greater portion has doubtless
been accounted for direct to the proper accounting
officer of the Treasury Department, as required by
the act of Congress approved July 17, 1862.
2. Amount in the hands of officers unaccounted for
(as ascertained from balances found due the Govern-
ment, upon examination of the last accounts received
and from receipts for advances made to officers or
disbursement) by officers whose accounts have been
rendered.......................................... 6,571,300.49
Of this amount the sum of $2,735,338.05 was due
prior to and in the fiscal year ending June 30,
1862.
The balance, $2,835,962.44, was due in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1863, and should have been
accounted for as follows, viz:
In the fist quarter............. $668,625.15
In the second quarter........... 434,763.58
In the third quarter............ 807,383.34
In the fourth quarter...........1,925,190.44
--------------
3,835,962.44
The greater portion of this has probably been
accounted for direct to the proper accounting
officer of the Treasury Department, as required
by the act of Congress before referred to.
3. The remainder is distributed among the officers
disbursing at the various posts and stations and
in the field, and is applicable to the payment
of debts contracted during the year, by which
it will undoubtedly be absorbed. It is........... 14,428,866.93
--------------
Total balance as before.......................... 67,537,547.85
