1892 ] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES 513
On March 6, 1886, Congress released entirely the
sureties of J. T. Carter, Secretary of Arizona; on
March 7, 1888, those of J. C. Dexter, Receiver of
Public Moneys, Michigan; on March 14, 1888, those
of Samul A. Blaine, Indian Agent, Texis; on Janu-
ary 8, 1891, those of George W. Hook, Receiver at
Land Office, California; and on March 22, 1886. those
of Frank Soule, Collector of Internal Revenue, Cali-
fornia.
These are a few of the many cases found among the
U. S. Statutes at Large.
An examination of the reasons for relief in the above
cases, where they can be learned, exhibits facts much
less strong than those in this case.
Your petitioners therefore most respectfully, but
earnestly submit, that the facts and considerations
in this case are such that it would be inequitable and
unjust to hold them for Archer's defalcations later
than February, 1888, and if they are so held, the con-
sequence will be the total impoverishment of some of
them.
