There was another department, more suggestive of its financial functions from the occasional extravagances or economies exhibited in its payrolls, successive Congresses having taken other matters out of its hands, presided over by an official who bore the title and responsibility of the Custodian and Disburser of the Nation's Purse, and received a salary that a bank-President would have sniffed at.
