soLpIERs PAY.
The statement has been republished in some
of the newspapers that the Paymaster Gener-
al will Immediately make acquisitions upon
the Secretary of the Treasurer for 100000
900 for soldiers pay, up to the lst of July
This appears to be mistake, for on inquiry
to day it was ascertained probably that $50.
0O0,0Q0 will pay all that is due to the soldiers
mustered out and troops who remain in the
service To the above named the late issue
of the new certificates of indebtedness does
not equal the amount of those continually ma
turing and redeemed, and the reduction of
this description of paper has been from $780,
0o0,0O0 to less than 81 $llj,000,000 1t is prob
able, from present indications, that the Sec
retary will be able to meet the acquisitions on
the Treasury under the powers conferred by
the late Congress without having occasion to
resort to unauthorized loans.
TREASURY MATTERS.
The Navy Department has no chartered
vessels in its employment, and therefore no
money is due to their owners, as has been er-
roneously stated. The receipts under the in
ternal revenue law are increasing and encour-
aging. The Secretary of the Treasury tele-
graphed the Assistant Treasurer at San Fran
cisco to day, dscontinuing the sale Of 1-30s,
as the whole loan will be taken before an ad-
ditional supply can reach him.
It's stated in official quarters tl.at it is the
intention of the Government to reduce the
army to 100000, if not to $4,000 men, at the
earliest practicable period.
The amount of the last series of the entire
loan of $500, ,0OO, 900 remaining of 7-3Os, as
appears from official data to-day was 81, ,5OO,-
900.
