8523. TREASURY, Organization of.—

We shall now get rid of the commissioner of the internal revenue, and superintendent of
stamps. It remains to amalgamate the comptroller
and auditor into one, and reduce the
register to a clerk of accounts; and then the
organization will consist, as it should at first,
of a keeper of money, a keeper of accounts,
and the head of the department.—
To Albert Gallatin. Washington ed. iv, 429. Ford ed., viii, 141.
