If the Third Auditor had gone through all the accounts, and had found no mistakes in them, it would have excited the suspicion of every man versed in such matters. Some years ago, Mr. Chairman, while I was in the army, I called on a friend of mine in one of the Bureaus of the War Department, and we commenced to converse about old acquaintances. The conversation finally turned upon a person who had prided himself in never having had a mistake formed in his accounts during a ser vice of twenty ye...ars. Said he, "I believe that man is dishonest. It never hap pened to mortal man, in a course of twenty years, to get his accounts all perfect. He has done a good deal of cooking and working up. " That, is the invariable impres sion produced by these infallible accounts. If in our volunteer accounts everything had been found right, and according to rule it would have been damning evidence against them, because the thing is im possible. I state this as a fact, which the experience of the Third Auditor might have suggested.
