At 10 o. m, the northern target being reserved
exclusively for the king shooting, and tho bal.
anos used for shooting for the general prizes,
Tho firing was kept up vigorously until = O'Clock,
when a shot from tho cannon announced that a
king for the ensuing year had been made, and
the shooting At all the targets ceased, and II was
announced that Mr.. Frederick Kramer, jeweler
and engraver, No. 277 North Cay street, was the
successful competitor for the kingship, he having
made the three best shots. The members ol
the association, TO the number Of about one hun.
dred, at once formed In front Of the building
containing the prizes, and, headed by the band
Of the twelfth infantry, from Washington, Prof
Dautsch, marched to the shooting gallery, where
another detachment Of Schuotren was drawn up
headed By Prof Roses band, for the purpose Of
escorting the new king TO the priso-housc. where
the ceremony Of installation was to take place.
"Ths procession thcn proceeded through the
various svenues, under the marshalship OF Mr.
o. Hunokel, thero being o number Of ladies In
the limo, and tho bands performing lively airs,
and finally stopped In front Of the prize-bouss.

Col. Moore, the Presidents Private Secretary,
We are informed, was present at the banquet last
evening, and made very social and spicy ad-
drsss. President johnson, 1t Is said, intends to
visit the SchuetIsn Association at Baltimore to.
day. unless tho pressure Of official duties shall
forbid.
The Baltimore American Of last evening says:
"At the Schutzen Park to-day the shooting and
bowling for the prizes is continued. Prof. Light
will make another balloon ascension this after.
noon, previous to which Prof Harry Leslie will,
on trapez attached to the balloon. at an eleva.
tion Of one hundred feet In the air, perform
daring and difficult acrobatic feats. The othel
various amusements are also continued.
The ALLEGED TREASURY FRAuDs.-
Journals at a distance have Of late given circu'
lation to alleged frauds In the Treasury Depart
ment which, In the absence Of the facts In the
case, arc calculated to impair tho credit Of our
Government securities. We are, therefore, glad
to see that Secretary McCulloch has deemed 1t
proper to issue the following:
rREAsURI DEPARTMENT, August II, 1867.
A " Fan Dyck HSkfStUuf Treasurer. kslD York
Sin: have received from you Nos. l and
Of the Globe, which seem to be devoted to as
saults upon the Treasury Department and the
national credit.
No man In the country has deeper interest
than myself in knowing whether or not there
have been over-issues In the printing bureau Of
tho Treasury Department. l have, therefore,
as you have already been advised, caused a
searching examination Of that bureau to be
made from Its organization up to tho 24th Of
January last, by some Of the most competent
and reliable employees Of this Department.
From their report am satisfied that there have
not been any oyor.issuss Of Government secu-
rifles or Government obligations Of any kind,
and that the reports which have been so indus
riously circulated In your city and In other parts
Of the country in regard to frauds In the Treas
ury Department arc without foundation. The
public may rest satisfied that the monthly state.
ments Of the condition Of the Treasury, over the
signature Of the Secretary, are entirely correct.
All statements In regard to the suppression Of
reports Of examining committees are likewise
groundless
I incloso copy Of the partial report of the
committee, made to me on the 22d Of March
last, which was extensively published at the time.
The full report confirms the conclusion of tho
committee as stated In their partial report.
am. very truly, yours,
II. McCULLocH,
Secretary Of the Treasury.
The partial report to which the Secretary
refers Is signed by A. 8. Pratt, T. D. Moore, A.
U. Wayman, and 8. w. Marsh, committee who
say they have made careful investi cation with
reference to the issue Of bonds, treasury notes.
and coupons, and, up to the present time, nd
no evidence that there has been any fraudulent
or over-issue Of such securities by the Govern
ment Of the United States, through the Treasury
Department, or otherwisej and they do not hest
tate to express tho opinion, based upon the In.
yestigation, that no fraudulent or oyer.issue has
been made. An examination Of the office of the
Register Of tho Treasury, in which redsmptions
Of such securities are registered, confirms this
opinion; the apparent duplication, to very small
amount, of treasury notes and coupons, being
most reasonably accounted for, as being errors
made in numbering, or by alterations made after
their issue.
