A Rotten Spot.

We think the operations of Sec. Nc
Colloch need little Reconstruction
if the statements contained in the fol
lowing extract from an article in Har-
pers' Weekly is correct. 1t is a very
curious way for a sharp fnancier to do
business and we trust that Congress
will do something to prevent the coun-
try from being feeced at such rate.
The idea of Uncle Sam paying 81.
600 per year for the use of $500, ZOO
Of has ow'a money, is certainly rich
one,, and one too that needs investiga-
ton. The extract referred to is as
follows: .-..
Over twenty four millions of pub
lie money were, at the date of the last
Treasury return. deposited for safe
keeping in National Banks. The
amount must now be reduced to less
than twenty three millions and a half
by the failure of the Merchants Bank.
All this money is left with the Nation
al Banks free of interest; though, sim
uiltaneously, the Treasury Department
is paying and 5 per cent. interest on
$13O,00O,00O Of temporary deposits
which it does not need. A. smart fl
nancier can thus make money very ca
silly. All that is requisite rs to get his
bank appointed a government deposi-
tory, which is readily done. A little
further exertion secures him deposit
of half q million. If he does not
choose to take trouble or to run risks,
he takes this money to the Sub Treas
ury in New York or Philadelphia, and
lends it to Government at 4 per cent
Thus our obliging Secretary actually
pays 4 per cent. interest for the use of
his own money, and our smart Nation
al Banker makes $2,0 900 year without
risk or labor. This may be very grand
in theory, but in practice it strikes us
that financiering Of this order is not
the way to restore sound currency or
to promote economy. FHE,
