Troops, of December 19, 1864, they are not entitled under
said Act, and repeated inquiries at the War Department in
Washington, have established the fact beyond question, that
no substitute was credited to that call who entered the ser-
vice before, December 19th, 1864.

My predecessor in his report for the Fiscal Year ended Sep-
tember 30th, 1866, estimated that $20,800 would probably
pay all claimants for bounty on rolls not then returned; but
the fact has been developed that very few of the Regiments,
white or colored, credited to this State, were fully returned
by the Provost Marshall; and since said Report was published,
over two thousand and forty-seven (2,047) names have been
returned through the Adjutant Generals of this State and
of the United States, that are clearly shown to be entitled to
bounty under the Acts of 1864 and 1865.

MISCELLANEOUS RECEIPTS.

The receipts into the Treasury from various sources of reve-
nue, will be found on Tables numbered from 1 to 13 inclu-
sive, and each specific amount plainly set forth.

BALANCES DUE FROM COLLECTORS AND OTHERS.

Table No. 15 shows the balance of Direct, Bounty, Public
School, and Southern Relief Taxes in the hands of the Col-
lectors of the several counties and the city of Baltimore, to be
$552,380.51, for the year 1868.

Table No. 16 exhibits a list of balances due by Collectors
of State Taxes from 1841 to 1867 inclusive, amounting to
$705,408.25.

Tables Nos. 17 and 18 show a considerable amount due
from Inspectors, Clerks of Courts, Registers of Wills and
Sheriffs.

In pursuance of Sec. 2, Chap. 210 of 1868, I have called the
attention of the State's Attorneys of the several counties and
the city of Baltimore, to its provisions, and asked their aid.
In a few of the counties some effort is being made for a set-
tlement of these old standing claims, but in general they seem
to be doing nothing.
