I wish to know by what authority Mr. Hyde made a contract with Stoddard recognizing the deprecia- tion of Exchequer Bills, and agreeing to make up any deficit, if they fell below 75 cents on the dollar. I was not apprised until lately that any reports had been made by Mr. Hyde. Sam Houston [ Addressed] : To Mr. Jos. Waples, Acting Secretary of State, present.
