the LIST day Of July, 1865; said increase 10 be
borne by the cities of Washington and George
town and the county Of Washington. IN the
District of Columbia, in the proportion ecu al
to the number Of patrolmen allotted severalIy
to the city of Washin gton, 10 the city Of George
town, and the county of Washington and
Georgetown, and the Levy Court of said coun-
ty be, and they are hereby. authorized and en-
powered 10 levy a special tax not exceeding
one-quarter Of one per centum for the purpose
aforesaid"
The appropriation of $4,000 for the con-
struction of police telegraph was stricken
out. This item was stricken out under mis-
apprehension, and will doubtless be restored
in the Senate, and passed by the House on the
return of the bill. The appropriation was re-
Commended by the Secretary OF the Interior
10 his reportl
The fact that the House struck out proyi-
sion raising the salary Of the officers or the
Philadelphia Mint is Of some importance, rs
showing the temper of the House upon the
general question OF raising salaries OF en-
ployees OF Government.

FREEDMEN In VIRGINIA.

The Government has received from its agen ts
IN virginia Information concerning tho conui-
tion of sffars in that State at the present time.
The relations between whites and black are
much the same heretofore. a feeling Of dis.
trust, il is stated is mutual, many of the whites
seem rather to tolerate the situation than to &C.
Cept il. Some few persons are doing all in
then power to advance the interests Of the
Government, and TO assist the Freedmen's Bu-
Ieau in its operations, and these are generally
of the most intelligent classes. The ignorant,
being more OF less under the control Of preju-
dice, show their hostility to the Government
on every occasion. Some few cases are coming
before the freedmens Court for adjudication,
arising from the farmers feeling disinciined to
pay the freed people wages for the year 1855

STATEMENT OF THE COMPTROLLER oF
TIE CURRENCY

Hon. Freeman Clarke is out In a letter, claim
ing that the representations and estimates
made in his communication to the Secretary OF
the Treasury on the 10th instant are verified
by the supplementary statement of Treasurer
Spinner, published with the exhibit of the
Secretary OF the LIST inst. He then refers TO
the monthly statements for nearly year past,
claiming to show by the returns of the national
banks made to his Office under oath "that it is
impossible that the deposits in the national
banks should have been included i'm the
monthly statements OF the Secretary of the
Treasury" He concludes by a reference to
the communication OF the Secretary of the
Treasury addressed to the Speaker of the
House OF Representatives on the 10th instant.
which communication. the Comptroller al.
leges, sustains him in his suppositios that there
was Sl5O,O0O,OOO IN the Treasury subject TO the
Secretary's order on the LIST instant
The specious reasoning of the Comptroller
is plausible enough, and well calculated to
deceive the casual reader, who knows nothing
OF the system Of book keeping at the Treasury.
The Secretary's monthly statement of the puc-
lie debt is, We understand, prepared from the
books and returns of the Treasurer's office, and
gives the amounts shown on those books AT the
close OF each monSh. Those amounts include
the deposits in the national banks so far as the
same have been returned to the Treasurer,s
office at the close Of the month, reduced by ali
the drafts drawn by the Treasurer on such
deposits, whether the checks have been paid
or not. 1t will thus be seen that such state
ment is complete only so far as shown on the
Treasurer's books and returns at the time
and that the amounts may be increased or di.
minished when the returns are all in for the
month and the accounts have passed through
the usual course. Thus statement prepared
from the Registers books for any month, when
the requisite data had been obtained for such a
month, might, and would probably, differ from
n statement taken from the Treasurer's books ar
the end Of the month, yet neither statement
would necessarily be incorrect Granting as
the Comptroller claims, the. correctness Ut .sthe
returns Of the National Banks made to his
office under OATH" the intelligent reader will
perceive from what we have said, that it does
not follow that the Secretary's statements are
incorrect and this the Comptroller knows very
well, ..-- .--...

The smuggling trade along the Canada From

the meddlesome interference Of the customs
officers; and what was once pleasant and a
lucrative calling, has not only become dan
gerous and unremunerative, but is fast losing
its old air of responsibility, among the resi-
dents on both sides Of the border, and is grow.
