whatsoever. In case of a vacancy in either of the offices by
death or otherwise, the Governor, by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate, shall fill such vacant by appoint-
ment, to continue until another election or a choice by the
Legislature, as the case may be, and until the qualification

such oath, and enter into such bonds for the faithful dis-
charge of their duties as are now, or may hereafter be pro
scribed by law.*

tendence of the fiscal affairs of the State; he shall digest and

State; superintend and enforce the prompt collection of all
taxes and revenue; adjust and settle, on terms prescribed by
law, with delinquent collectors and receivers of taxes and
State revenue; preserve all public accounts; and decide on
the forms of keeping and stating accounts. He, or such of
his deputies as may be authorized to do so by the Legisla-
ture, shall grant, under regulations prescribed by Law, all
warrants for money to be paid out of the Treasury, in pur-
suance of appropriations by law, and countersign all checks
drawn by the Treasurer upon any bank or banks in which
the moneys of the State, may, from time to time, be de-
posited. He shall prescribe the formalities of the transfer
of stock, or other evidence of the State debt, and counter-
sign the same, without which such evidence shall not be valid;
he shall make to the General Assembly full reports of all his
proceedings, and of the state of the Treasury Department
within ten days after the commencement of each session and
perform such other duties as shall be prescribed by law.*

SEC. 3. The Treasurer shall receive the moneys of the
State, and, until otherwise prescribed by law, deposit them,
as soon as received, to the credit of the State, in such bank
or banks as he may, from Time to time, with the approval of
the Governor, select (the said bank or banks giving security,
satisfactory to the Governor, for the safekeeping and forth-
coming, when required of said deposit), and he or such of
his deputies as may be authorized to do so by the Legisla-
ture shall disburse the same for the purposes of the State
according to law, upon warrants drawn by the Comptroller,
or his duly authorized deputy, and on checks countersigned
