In  the  Southern  States,  then  in  insurrection,  whatever
was  actually  realized  in  money  upon  this  tax  was  collected
directly  by  Federal  officers  without  the  interposition  of  State
machinery  ;  and  a  part  of  its  quota  has  been  credited  to  each
of  these  States.
The  entire  amount  applied  upon  this  tax,  including  the
fifteen  per  cent,  for  collection,  was  credited  to  the  several
States  and  Territories  upon  the  books  of  the  Treasury,  whether
collected  through   their  instrumentality  or  by  Federal  officers.
The  sum  credited  to  all  the  States  was  ^17,359,685.51,  which

includes  more  than  two  millions  of  dollars  on  account  of  the
fifteen  per  cent,  allowed  for  collecting.  Of  the  amount  cred-
ited, only  about  two  millions  and  three  hundred  thousand
dollars  is  credited  to  the  insurrectionary  States.  The  amount
uncollected,  of  the  twenty  millions  directed  to  be  raised  by  this
tax,  was  $2,646,314.49,  and  nearly  this  entire  sum  remained
due  upon  the  quotas  apportioned  to  these  States.
