Art 15

No scruple need be made of unnexcusable punishment
of Filing to defaults. Declare Let it be but declared
in the Act, that all money received on this account
is Government money — that it belongs to Government — not in
respect of the amount merely, but in respect of the independent prices —
it Government money that it is not to be mixed
with other money — that it should be kept in a
separate receptacle — + + that not a single piece of it is ever to be dis lent, kept on hand, or or otherwise disposed of than arriving to the prescribed course of transmission in a word that the officers Post Masters not only as to the amount, but
distributed an Annuity. Note office keeper
of government is in that respect not on the footing
of a Trustee, but of a servant, an imputation
of under seventy varieties. When a Butler
servant steals embezzles <add>converts to his own use </add> plate of his Master's which he
has in charge, it is not only a felony, but a capital
one. In the present instance, the species
of servant in question being possessed of a degree of
pecuniary responsibility so much superior to that of
a manual bearer, servant the suspicion of the capital
part of the punishment will be not only proper in
itself, but consistent with the practice course of the law
in other instances.

Apply this to the Public Receivers in present — —
the money to be public money — not only as to the
amount — — but as to the individual pieces.
