and South Carolina to the defence of, those
places. Again, when speaking of General
Butler position at Bermuda, he says that
the army given him to operate against Rich
mond, had Theoretically sealed itself up at
Bermuda Hundred thus enabling Beaure-
gard to take away his troops to reinforce
Lee, and at the some time making it diff
cult for Gen. Butler himself to do anything.
But the severest animadversion upon that
officers conduct occurs in General Grant
narrative concerning the Fort Fisher expe-
dition. 1t is already known that the Gen
ral-in- Chief did not intend that General
Butler should command the troops engaged
IN that affair, but designated General Welt
Weitzel however had to go through Gener-
al Buffers hands as Commander of the De-
partment. General Grant now says that
Weitzel has officially informed him that he
never received the instructions which he
Grant sent to him (Weitzel) through But
ler and he was never made aware of their
existence until General Butler published his
official report of the Fort Fisher failure
General Grant declares and he had no idea
of Butler going with the expedition until
the night before it started, and even then
he did not dream that Weitzel had not re-
ceived the instructions that he believed
would be in command. The delay in par
ting the expedition off was in consequence
of waiting for hecelebrated powder boat
the explosion of which, General Butler
thought would knock. down the parapet o!
Fort Fisher, but General Butler was in
structod to send the transports off either
with or acitho'H the powder-boat to avoid
delay. OF the effect of this device Genera
Grant says THE powder-boat was explo
ded before the return of General Butler,
| but it would seem from the notice taker
of it in the Southern newspapers that the
enemy were never enlightened<as to the OBJ
ject of the explosion until they were inform
ed by the Northern press.
In the course of the narrative we find two
illustrations of the damage done by indis
Greet publications of army movements
While speaking of the preparations for the
expedition against Fort Fisher, Gen. Grant
says, that through the imprudence of the
pres" the enemy was warned, and the sail
ing of the fleet had to be postponed. The
other case worked to our advantage, fol
General Grant says that he learned all abou

Report of the Controller of the Currency.
H.

The Hon. Freeman Clarke presents com
pact statement of the year work. The re-
port is accompanied by about l 40 pages of
statistics, relating mainly to the condition
of the National banks. Since the last an
nual report, 2S3 new banks have been or:
ganiZed, and 73l State banks converted into
National. Whole number of National
banks TO Nov. /, COL, of which 679 were
new, and 922 conversions from State insti-
tutions. Two banks have failed. The re-
suit of the conversion has been rather to
diminish than to increase the circulation.
National bank notes in circulation Oct, q,
were $I7l, ,32l, ,902; State banks, $7S, 1867,
575; legal tender and. fractional currency
S704, 5S4, 65S. Including bank notes not
issued the whole amount Of the nominal
circulation at that date was 81 ,OS3, 452, 2333
from which the Controller makes large de-
ductions in order to arrive at the actual Cir
culation. National hank notes not deliver
ed to banks are SlO9, 50, 945 legal tender
held by banks, SI93, ,094, 365 compound in
terest notes, mostly held rs investments,
SI2l, ,3l4, 1876; currency in u. S. Treasury,
S56, ,236, 40; altogether, S499, 323,0 ,097 ;
leaving the actual circulation $3.50, S44, 229.
1t is recommended that as the most et-
fcient means TO curtail expension, system
Of compulsory redemption at the financial
centeSS be adopted. Ine emergency WHICH
required an irredeemable paper currency nc
longer exis; ing, resumption of specie pay
ments should ensue at the earliest possible
moment As one step toward it, the tariff
should be so adjusted as to discourage inor-
dipate importations increasing the tariff a;
gold and foreign exchange recede in price;
Internal taxation at the same time should
be simplifeds In addition to $I20, 900, ,o00
from the tariff, the Controllers estimates
are 800, 900 on whisky, malt liquors,
and domestic wines SIS, 900, 600 on tobac-
co; 1925, ,OOO,0 900 on cotton; l5,OOO,O0C
from stamps; $20,000,00 from licenses
l0,O0O, 900 from premiums on surplus Of
gold; in the aggregate S405. 900. 900, sum
probably 500, 900. 900 in excess O. expenses
the whole or part of which could go to the
yearly reduction of the debt. By restricting
the Internal Revenue tax to few articles
the cost of its collection would be abated
The Controller protest warmly against al
schemes of State taxation of National securi
ties as violation of public faith and propose:
the transfer of the bureau which he admin
listers from Washington to New York, a:
demanded by economy and convenience.

Report of the Secretary of the Interior.

1t appears from the report of the Secre-
tary of the Interior that during the past
year 4, 5l3, 737 46 acres of the public lands
have been granted to various parties, and
that on the 30th September there were still
81. 2S5, OBS acres surveyed and undlsposed
Of. For lands sold he has received $74S,
457 %. an excess of ten per cent over the
previous year. Different territories regard
ing claims to unoecupied lands, and some
uniform law is asked. The lands are very
wisely sold for the sum necessary to survey
and transfer them to actual settlers and pur-
chasers.
1t is estimated that 100000 able bodied
men are mining upon the public domain
without paying anything for the privilege.
In view of the tax upon most other pursuits,
it is suggested they be not neglected.
The number of pensions added to the roll
during the year was l5.32S, requiring ST.
220, 7St 80 annual payment. Allowed dur,
ing the year were 24,693, at an annual
charge of S2,574,179. Of naval pensions
there were 266 awarded, and $205, 4sO 62
investment of the Government share OF
prize money The increasing number OF
pensioners demands largely-increased ap-
preparation.
There are within our boundaries about
$50, 900 Indians. most of whom have been
amicable, and few loyal and progressive.
Some, however, have been incited by Reb-
els and by resentment to wage war against
the Government, and in the Territories. by
the collisions with the white race, have kept
up predatory warfare, which We have sent
troops to suppress. 1t ought not to be the
policy cf the Government to extermlnate the
red men, hut rather, through missions and
treaties, to pacify them.
There have been 6,29l patents granted
during the fiscal year. The work of the
census has been pushed as far as was posi-
Bile. The work upon the several branches
of the Pacific Railroad appears to be pro-
crossing satisfactorily, and they will doubt
less be finished by the specified time of their
charters. Surveys are being made OF the
main line westward.
More money is asked for the completion
of the Capital. The inhabitants of the Dis
trict also want the Government to help
them pay the local taxes, and to clean the
city, and for other benevolent and humane
PURPOSES.
