To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But so keenly did the old General scent out this iniquity, and whatever else may be said of him, no one ever doubted his charac- ter in this respect, that his honest indignation would not allow this person to remain in office for even that short remnant of time. He turned him out imme- diately, and appointed Mr. Dallas in his place. But, nevertheless, although he was removed in April, 1829, his official accounts were not closed, and the bal- ances due to the Government paid until 1839, ten year...s afterwards! Sir, in 1836, a suit was commenced against him in behalf of the United States, to re- cover the amounts due from him. He had been reported at the proper depart- ment as a defaulter, and he had presented a long list of enormous charges to affect the claim of tise Government. These charges were disallowed by the accounting officers of the Treasury. A suit was finally commenced in 1836, to recover the balance chimed, amounting to $37, 000. To meet this claim he filed an account in offset, which contains items as monstrous as official eyes ever saw.
