THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY DISCOVERING
HIS MISTAKES.
1t will be recollected that Mr. Woodbury. in his re.
ply 10 Mr.. Evans told him that in his attempt TO re-
eve the Secretary of the Treasury from bunder,
he had disclosed another in his annual report.
Mr.. Woodbury. then went on to point out the fact
that the Secretarys annual report had omitted to ex
hibit among his receipts upwards Of half million
paid by the Bank of the United Sates-in this way d.
minishing the means of the year, which he wished
reduce and adding heavy item toward the creation of
that debt which he wished to create Mr.. Evans bold
ly denied the statement Of Mr. Woodbury., and endea-
vored, by some guess work explanation, to relieve Mr.
Ewing. Now, il will be seen that the honest Sc.
cretary, finding exposure at hand, from the fact
that call for the monthly statements put detection
in the hands Of the keen-si GIFTED Democratic Sc
majors, out and says that the msstatemcnt
which was reported in the monthly statement made on
special call, ga clerical error "cheh in tie hurry
Of business, escaped his notice Now, what apology
does he offer for the existence of the his
own annual report: In that il first detected by
MIR. Woodbury. and denied by Mr.. Evans to exist
But there it is and how is it accounted for? The cler
cal may be accounted for in the exacted monthly
statement, other grounds than hurry. The clerk
possibly made it to correspond with the Secretary an
nual report. Globe.
