by reason of being insolvent, or for any other cause, to pay
his proportional part of such loss, then the residue of such
loss shall be borne and paid in equal parts by the remaining

reimbursed, or the whole property, rights, credits and effects

JOINT RESOLUTIONS. 279
Hesohed, That the appointment of commissioners, by the
State of Illinois, in response to the invitation of the State
of Virginia, is not an expression of opinion, on the part of
this State, that any amendment to the Federal constitution
is requisite to secure to the people of the slaveholding States
adequate guarantees for the security of their rights, nor an
approval of the basis of settlement of our difficulties pro-
posed by the State of Virginia; but it is an expression of
our willingness to unite with the State of Virginia in an
earnest effort to adjust the present unhappy controversies in
the spirit in which the constitution was originally formed
and consistently with its principles.
Resolved^ That, while we are willing to appoint commis-
sioners to meet in convention with those of other States, for
consultation upon matters which at present distract our har-
mony as a nation, we also insist that the appropriate and
constitutional method of considering and acting upon the
grievances complained of by our sister States would be by
the call of a convention for the amendment of the constitu-
tion, in the manner contemplated by the fifth article of that
instrument; and, if the States deeming themselves aggrieved
shall request congress to call such convention, the Legisla-
ture of Illinois will and docs concur in such call.

the people of our State, express our profound regret at the
loss which our State and the country has sufiered by his un-
timely death ; and we and the people will ever hold in
grateful remembrance the memory of one who, b}^ his gal-

tive officer of our State, has so much honored the State,
and has set an example worthy of all imitation,

of the State ; therefore,
Be it resolved hy the Senate of the State of Illinois^ the
House of Representatives concurring herein^ That the State
trustee be and he is hereby directed to present to the t rus-
tees of the Illinois and Michigan canal, a proposition for a
proper reduction of the tolls now charged on lumber, tim-
ber, lath or shingles transported on said canal, and that he
urge on said trustees the necessity for such reduction, and
to provide for a schedule of charges on all freights, consist-
ent with the charges on lumber recommended.
JOINT RESOLUTIONS on Federal Relations.
Whereas, although the people of the State of Illinois do not
desire any change in our Federal constitution, yet as sev-
eral of our sister States have indicated that they deem it
necessary that some amendment should be made thereto ;
and whereas, in and by the fifth article of the constitution
of the United States, provision is made for proposing
—26 k

m e ndments to that instrument, either by congress or by a
convention ; and whereas a desire has been expressed, in
various parts of the United States, for a convention to pro-
pose amendments to the constitution ; therefore,
J^e it resolved hy the General Assemhly of the State of Illi-
nois, That if apphcation shall be made to Congress, by any
of the States deeming themselves aggrieved, to call a con-
vention, in accordance with the constitutional provision
atbresaid, to propose amendments to the constitution of the
United States, that the Legislature of the State of Illinois
will and does hereby concur in making such application.
Resolved, That, until the people of these United States
shall otherwise direct, the present Federal Union must be
preserved as it is, and the present constitution and laws must
be administered as they are ; and, to this end, in conformity
with that constitution and the laws, the whole resources of
the State of Illinois are hereby pledged to the Federal au-
thorities.
Resolved, That copies of the above preamble and resolu-
tions be sent to each of our Representatives and Senators in

BIEISTOTAL KEPORT
OF THE
ST^TE TREASURER,
For 1859 and 186 0<
Teeasukek's Office, Illinois,
Springfield, Dec. 10, 1860.
To the General Assembly of the State of Illinois :
Pursuant to tlie requirements of law, I have the honor to report tlie
receipts and disbursements of the piibhc money in the two years end-
ins: November SOtli, 1860, as follows, viz :
Receipts for revenue purposes, including the balance on hand on the
1st day of December, 1858, amount to $813,514 88. Payments on the
same account amount to $843,511 88, leaving no balance in the trea-
sury.
Receipts on account of the State Debt Fund, including the balance
on hand on the 1st day of December, 1858, amount to $1,958,639 55.
Payments on same account amount to $1,466,260 45, leaving a balance
on hand of $492,379 10.
Receipts on account of the Interest Fund, including tlie balance on
hand 1st day of December, 1*858, amount to $1,172,524 80. Payments
on the same account amount to $913,099 90, leaving a balance in the
treasury of ^259,424 90.
ReceijDts on account of the State School Fund, including the balance
on hand December 1, 1858, amount to $245,289 23. Payments on the
same account amount to $188,355 96, leaving a balance in the treasury
of $56,933 27.
Receipts on account of the State Land Fund, including the balance
on hand December 1, 1858, amount to $279 12. Payments on same
account amount to $47 82, leaving a balance in the treasury of
$231 30.
Receipts on account of Central Railroad Fund, including the balance
on hand 1st day of December, 1858, amount to $301,420 59. Pay-
ments on same account amount to $195,475 14, leaving a balance in the
treasury of $105,945 45.
Amount of Delinquent Land Tax Fund remaining in the treasury
on the tirst da}- of jDecember, 1858, is $4:,331 20. Tliis account has
not been changed ; the balance remains the same, ^4,331 2G.
Funds dej^osited in the treasury from Adams and Eancock counties,
belonging to unknown and minor heirs, $86 40.
For a more detailed account of the receipts and disbursements of the
public money, I beg leave to refer you to the annexed statements.
In connection with the subject of the payment of interest, I would
suo'o-est that the law now in force leaves too much discretion in, and re-
sponsibility on, the treasurer, in paying the interest. The law makes
no provision as to the manner in which the money is to be transmitted
to New York, or as to the mode of keeping it whilst there. And I re-
S]:)ectfully submit whether the legislature may not make some provi-
sion for the control and direction of the treasurer, which may lessen
the discretion of the treasurer, and the hazard to the state.
I suljmit also, whether the time fixed by law, during Vvdiich the trea-
surer shall keep the money in jS^ew York, which is thirty days, is not
unnecessaril}' long. In my judgment, lifteen days is amply sufticient
for the payment of the interest ; and if tlie I'ujlders of the bonds will
not present them within that time the state ought not to incur the
hazard of keeping the money longer in ±sew York, and it can be no
great hardship to compel the tardy creditors to present their claims at
the treasury.
I submit, also, whether some provision should not be made by law
to control the payment of state bonds, under the governor's proclama-
tion. Xo adequate provision is now made for the security of the state
funds, when withdrawn from the treasury to make such payments, or
i'oY the transmission and keeping of the same. The want of such pro-
visions was severely felt in the payments made under the governor's
proclamations in January and August last. And I was compelled
to exercise an amount of discretion and incur a responsibility which
might not always be safe to the state to require or permit in the trea
surer.

B I E IS^ X I A L REPORT
OF THE
AUDITOR OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS
OF THE
STATE OF ILLINOIS
Auditor's Office, Illinois,
Sjwingjield, December 1, 1860.
2o the General Assembly of the State of Illinois:
I have the honor to submit the following report :
1. A statement of the receipts and expenditures, showing the amount
of revenue received, applicable to the payment of the ordinary
and contingent expenses of the state government, and the amount
disbursed.
2. "A general statement of warrants drawn upon the treasury, for all
purposes.

14 and 15. Tabular statements of personal and real property, assessed
and taxed for the years 1858 and 1859.
16. A statement of the dividends of the school tax and interest funds,
lor the years 1858 and 1859.
IT. A statement of the state taxes charged in the several counties and

lected, etc.
18. A statement of the school tax fund, for the year 1858.
19. xV statement of the school tax fund, for the year 1859.
20 to 25. The several statements and tables, exhibiting the condition
and affairs of the banks of the state, organized under the pro-
visions of the general banking law.
In presenting this report it may not be deemed improper for me to
accompany the same by some suggestions concerning the financial af-
fairs of our state ; particularly such as come within the supervision of
the auditor of public accounts. An examination of the statements and
exhibits, herewith laid before your honorable body, will show a condi-
tion of affairs, which, in my judgment, calls for careful consideration,
and, perhaps, legislation, on your part. It will be found that on the
first of December, 1860, the state treasury was completely drained of
revenue ; there being not even a single dollar applicable to the payment
of the ordinary expenses of the government. It will also be found that
the valuation of taxable property, for the past year, is, in amount, so far
below the valuation of previous years, that the sum to be realized from
taxation, during the next fiscal term of two ^^ears, must necessarily fall
below the amount required for the ordinary and contingent expenses of
the state government, during that time, without a considerable advance
in the rate of taxation for revenue purposes.
The statements of assessment for the year 1860 have, as 3'et, been
received from but few of the counties. So far as the same have come
to hand, they are found to be, in nearly every instance, diminished in
amount, since 1859 ; and it will also be found that but little more than
one-half of the whole number of tax collectors have made full payment
of their accounts for tax collected. In view of these things, I can but
deem it my duty to point out what, to me, appear to be some of the
causes that have produced these effects. Much of this loss of revenue
may, doubtless, be attributed to the effects of the financial crisis of 1857
and. 1858, and the partial failure of agricultural products in our state,
for two or three years, last nast ; but much more, than from all other
causes, the results enumerated have been produced, as I believe, by the
manner in which our revenue laws have been executed. It is nij be-
lief that an honest and faithful execution of our present assessment and
collection laws would furnish ample means for all necessary govern-
mental expenses, and, at the same time, distribute the burden of the
same foirly and equally. Yet, I am more and more convinced, the
longer I have to do with the supervision of revenue matters, that some
means, in addition to those ah-eady provided, are needed, to insure such
an operation of the law as was contemplated by its framers.
The present method of valuing personal property seems, to my mind,
objectionable ; and I am of opinion that a change in the law requiring
persons listing personal property to make oath to the correctness of the
same would largely increase the revenue of the state and counties. A
change in the manner of compensating assessors, by which they should
recei\'e a ]}er centage on the amount of taxes collected, instead of a per
diem allowance, would, in my opinion, insure a much more correct val-
uation of real property than has ever been obtained under our present
law. By uniting the duties of assessor and collector in the person of
the same officer, this change could be easily effected.
Several instances have occurred, during my term of office, in which
the collector of a county has been defaulter lor state taxes, and, after
suit has been brought on his bond, has come forward, either before or
after judgment had been obtained, and paid off the amount, and at tlie
end of the succeeding year has again been a defaulter, and the amount
left to be made out of the property of his securities. I have good reason
to believe that payment has been made, in these instances, with money
received from the collection of the year succeeding the hrst default ; and
it seems but proper that some provision should be made, whereby no
collector can be permitted to undertake a second year's collection until
he shall produce satisfactory evidence to the county authorities, showing
that he has fully accounted for and paid over the taxes of the previous
year ; and, also, that a collector may be chosen in case of failure of the
regular officer to produce such evidence.
The present law concerning forfeited property is found not to operate
satisfactorily. In several of the counties, as I have been credibly in-
formed, property owners have entered into combinations to avoid pay-
ment of taxes, and have prevented their property from being sold at tax
sales, from year to year, and now, in 1860, ha^-e^ under the operation
of the five year provision of the revenue law, defeated the collection of
taxes on their property. It seems necessary that some legislation should
be had, in reference to a different disposition of forfeited property.
The Southern Bank of Illinois, at Belleville, and Clark's Exchange
Bank, at Springfield, have complied with the pi-ovisions of the act of
185T, and have 'withdrawn their securities. Their circulating notes are
redeemed by JN^. H. Eidgely & Co., of Springfield. The time allowed
by law for the redemption of notes of the Bank of Belleville, Bank of
Hutsonville, Hamilton County Bank, and Ptushville Bank, having ex-
pired, the balances of their assets, in my hands, have been paid over
to the receivers and stockholders of the respective banks, in accordance
with the law.
6
The time allowed for tlie presentation of the notes of the People's
Bank, and Stock Security Bank, for the ;pro rata dividend declared
thereon, has expired, leaving a balance of assets in my hands, arising
from lost circulation, sufficient to enable me to declare a second dividend
upon the +brmer of six per cent., and upon the latter of seven and
three-fourths per cent. This "vvill pay the notes of the People's Bank
at par, and those of Stock Security Bank at ninety-six cents to the dol-
lar.
During the past tvv'O years the circulation of the banks of the state has
laro-elv increased, owing partially to the advancing business necessities
of die state, but principally to the fact that its known character for se-
curity has obtained for it a much wider circulation, in the adjoining
state's, than it has heretofore had. And I am satisfied that a rigid ex-
ecution of our banking laws, together with a few amendments, is all
that is necessary to make it acceptable to our people.
The immense amount of books, papers, vouchers, &c., &c., pertaining
to an office like this, where all the revenue and banking business of the
state is transacted, requires and imperatively demands more room and
facilities for the proper transaction of its business, and it is earnestly
uro-ed upon the G-eneral Assembly to make such provision as the pres-
siiK'- necessities of the case demand.

*My report of December 1st, 1858, stated the amount of revenue fund warrants out-
standing to be §4,615 72, and state debt fund warrants $2,328 10, in all $6,943 82. I
have since discovered that this was erroneous, and that the correct amount of revenue
fund warrants was $4,269 69, as shown in the above table; and the amount of state debt
fund warrants was $2,674 13, being the same aggregate amount

Note. — In making up the foregoing tables for the years 1858 and 1859, I have not been
able in some cases to class the property correctly, as the returns from some of the coun-
ties to this office do not show the value of real and personal property separately ; the
returns from several of the counties show apparent errors in the footings, of which I
have been unable to obtain corrections, but the tables are substantially correct.
JESSE K. DUBOIS, Auditor.

JJ'OTE. — For the counties .marked with a star, the amount deducted for abatements, com-
missions, etc., has been estimated. This is in consequence of the failure of the collectors of
those counties to make settlement of their accounts. The several amounts have been in each
case estimated with reference to the usual amount of abatements and commissions deducted
in those counties.
