The chairman of the Committee of Claims, in relation to the prompt settlement of claims in the Treasury Department.

FEBRUARY 2, 1864.-Laid on the table and ordered to be printed.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT,

January 18, 1864.

SIR: I beg leave to enclose a report of the Second Auditor of the Treasury in response to inquiries made by you, as chairman of the Committee of Claims in the House of Representatives.

It will gratify you to observe that the principal cause of delay, arising from want of room for the accommodation of an increased clerical force, having been partially removed, and the force largely though still insufficiently augmented, the settlements are now made with much greater promptitude and rapidity than heretofore. Five thousand four hundred and thirty-five more claims were settled than were received during the months of December and November. It is my hope that sufficient room may soon be obtained for all clerks that are needed for the prompt despatch of this important business.

I agree with the Auditor, that the bill proposed by the Hon. Mr. Fenton in the House will, if it shall become a law, greatly facilitate the settlement of these meritorious claims, and share his conviction that nothing has been left undone that could be done by any bureau, with the same room and force, to settle them at the earliest possible moment.

I trust it will be possible within a short time, by the aid of the legislation now in progress, so to bring up all work of this description as to leave no cause to complain of delay to any one.

Very respectfully,

Hon. J. T. HALE,

Chairman Committee of Claims, H. R.

S. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury.
