Thus leaving on the LIST otJanuary,

This balance includes what has
before been reported by this De-
nartment as not valuable, the sum
of about s., 400, 900, but which IS
now ascertained to be reduced to
about the sum Of 81, 10000; max

i, Is estimated, that of former appropriations,
,here will remain unexpended at the close Oh this
wear. the sum of SS,OO2,925 l3.
Of,his amount it is supposed that nly 30, AL
as4 81 will be required to accomplish the oojects
intended by the current appropriauons-ieaV
mo the sum of S999, TAP SO, applicable amer.
wsrds under the permanent appropriations, and
that of ,523, 3OS 70, to be applied in aid OF the
appropriations for the ensuing year, without
re-aopropriation-as will be seen in the est-
mates when submitted, and the balance OF S3S7,-
'90s ID, which has not been required at all, or
seasonably, for the objects contemplated inlts
appropriation, and will therefore, be carried to
the surplus fund.- In the examination OF this re-
suit, as to outstanding appropriations. it should
he noticed that one small amount OF unclaimed
interest on the public debt and another of I'M
funded debt, though chargeable on the Treasu-
nv, are not included. Embracing those and the
amount applicable afterwards to permanent
snnropriations, there would not be money
sppngb in the Treasury to pay, at once, every
Siam outstanding. But, excluding them, it will
S be- seen that the effective, unexpected fund on
the LIST January, 1885, win be ss,sss' ssl 81, to
pnS nrexnended appropriations being IS, l4l, :
asa 81; or, in other words, that our aUa,laots
,,,s.ns then on hand to discharge all the old and
existing claims on the Treasury with the exsep-
tions before named, will he about S444,zos w
more than their actual amount
