THE Bronson LETTER had not reached the
Treasury Department as We go to press to-day.

the collector wrote it, but on submitting it to
advising friends, it was determined to sup
press it, because its reception at the Treasury
Department would probably cause Judge B..

The REDEMPTION OF U. S. SrOcKs-An az
gregate of $549, 700 in U. S. Stocks was re-
deemed in all the last week at the Treasury
Department. 1t is thought in official circles
that the Atlantc's mails, to be received to
night or tomorrow morning, will bring very
heavy remittances of these stocks, owing to
tho present aspect of the Turkish question
perhaps as much as $500 900.
CLAIMS ON ARREARS DUE TO U. S. Sol.
DIERs.-Not long since, an agent presented to
the Treasury Department, claims against U.
S. soldiers, to whom arrearages of pay, &c,

the original owners, and he made er parte
proof of their correctness. Though satisfied
of their justice. the Department ruled that it
had no authority to recognize them; the SOL
diers themselves not having given him the
necessary authority to receipt in their behalf
for what the government might owe them.
