The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun writes under date of Sept. q, tou Oh
ing the late gold panic as follows:
The complaint from Radicals, as well as Cen
seryatiyes, has been that Mr.. Boutwell, did not
sufficiently disclose his purposes nor explain
his official plans, and a remarkable difference
In his favor in this respect bias been observed
between the present management of the
Treasury Department and its conduct under
Mr.. BOutwells predecessor But there has been
much complaint because of the alleged vacilla-
ton or lack of settled purpose in the manage
ment of sales of gold and purchase of bonds.
All this fault finding GENES from the Radical
party, and to the inquiries of newspaper cores
pondents seeking to enilghten the public as to
the proposed official conduct of the treasury,
there has been little or no satisfactory response
made by Mr.. Boutwell,, who generally replied
TO such inquiries, substantially, that he had no
particular plan had no explanation to give nor
statement to make on that subject, but his
official action would be determined by the cir
cumstances of the case when they should trans
pire.
"But, nevertheless. the Secretary did on all
occasions assert most positively that his action
would not be determined or affected by the in
terests of Vail street, nor the movements OF
dealers in gold and stocks. The apparent devil
| atiops from what has at times appeared to be a
| matured and settled plan, created me dis
trust in Mr.. Boutwel's stability of purpose. but
1t il due to him to mention that no one here be-
iSves that he has been financially interested in
sales of gold or purchases Of bOnls, as suggested
N the journal before referred to.
ut is well understood here. however, that the
recent order to increase sales and purchases is
the result of a pressure made by kilograms and
letters from prominent bankers and others OF
| the Radical persuasion. who appealed to the
President, who in turn advised MIR. Boutwell, to
make the order which went forth this morning
| through the papers. The prayer was that much
larger sums be thrown upon the market weekly.
and some advised the immediate sale of seventy
| out of the eighty odd millions of gold on hand.
| thus leaving twelve OF fifteen millions on hand.
| which together with the regular receipts from
| customs, amounting to nearly five millions per
week, it was estimated would furnish the coin
| that would be required to pay the interest COM
| ing due in November. 1t is said that the Pre-
l sident faVOres larger weekly sales than are now
| ordered but Mr.. BOutwelPs suggestions pre-
| vailed"
