financial r, ccisi0u.

An amusing instance of financial precision
is given in the proceedings of closing The &C,
counts Of the National Broadway Bank oi
New York city where there was mistake
of one cent. A draft was drawn by Treas
urer Spinner for the balance In the bank,
amounting to Sls,450 10, which was honor
ed, and in the letter of transmissal the
bank cashier notified the treasury that there
was still due the government the sum of one
cent. An examination of the ledgers and
cash accounts was instituted and the error
was discovered. The amount should have
been $ls45O II. Forthwith Treasurer
Spinner notified the cashier that he could
forward draft for the amount. A press
copy of the letter was made, and proper
record it kept. In due time the bank re-
sponded, inclosing draft for one cent.
The cashier, in transmitting the draft, adds
that he is happy to say that the transfer was
made without disturbing financial circles.
The letter and draft were received, the me-
cessary records made in half dozen books,
the proper Endorsements obtained, and the
money drawn and deposited to the credit of
the proper fund.

NE WSPAPERS FREE OF POST
ACE

Postmaster General Creswell warmly
urges the repeal of the franking privilege,
and states that the expense to the Depart
ment for carrying the free matter, amounts
to over five millions per annum. The
objections to the repeal are numerous. and
in defence If the present system, one of the
strongest arguments is that the public docu-
ments are thereby furnished readily to the
people, and great mass of valuable infor
nation thus dfTused. In reply to this, Mr..
Creswell says =
-, that If II be the purpose of Con-
gress TO give information to the people, a far
more telling expedient may be rcsorled TO.
An unburdened press managed and
directed by private enterprise, can do more
than Congress to eDlghien the masses.
Better far that the frankng privilege
should be abolished, and that all
newspapers sent 10 regular and
bona fde subscribers from known
office of publication should he carried free,
without regard to weight, throughout the
United States, AS now throughout the county
wherein printed and published. The receipts
Of the Department for the last year from
newspapers and pamphlets amounted to
S77S, ss230. This portion of its receipts the
Department can forego, provided it can be
protected against the frauds, more than three
times the amount, inseparable from the
franking privilege.

A Good InvestEaent.

Western railroads are generally profitable
Inde d, we learn that there is not u compile
ted railroad in Minnesota, Wisconsin, or Illi-
nois, which is not only paying the interest
on its bonds, but handsome diyide.d on Its
stock. Persons having money to invest are
examining with care the new railroad enter
prises which are in progress in the Western
and Northern States. Among these the
Central Railroad of Iowa" has some fea-
lures Of special interest. Iowa has an erea
greater than New York or Pennsylvania, and
the nature of its surface, soil, and climate is
such that nine tenths of the entire State is
tillable and richly productive land. About
four million acres under cultivation produced
in 1867, more than eiyhty-seven bushels OF
grain, beside other large crops. The great
bulk Of this production is for export, and
consequently, forms freight for the nearest
railroads. A road is now being built across
the State, from the Southern to the Northern
boundary, ,240 mites long, iraversiug thick
ly settled and very productive tier OF coun-
ties forming the central portion OF great
through line from st. Louis to St. Paul (nf
which the extremitles are now in successful
opera ion to the Iowa State lines, north and

profitable traffic IN the transportation Of
grain to ST.. Louis, and having the certainty
of constant employment in the interchange
Of the coal to Southern Iowa, and the lum-

road are done and sixty miles more are gra-

being S34 600 above the appropriation, no award

sails were again issued, but in this instance with
Out specifications, the Department adopting this
course with view TO invite competition, and re-
quiriug bidders to furnish drawing Ia detail of
hull and machinery. with models complete.
A commission of eleven officers was constitu-
ted, and after going over the whole ground, care
fully scrutnizing the plans specifications. and
models exhibited, at the same time analyzing aud

viiing for RECONSTRUCTION" as referring to what
belongs to a vessels hull md motive power. and
nothing beyond this. the commission, by unan-

The following reference To the subject, in Sec.
rotary Boutwelrs report, seems In Indicate that
no contracts will b. awarded. under the above
action:
Congress rteently appropriated s300,0O0 for
the construction of four additional vessels, and
proposals were issued and bids received under tho
authority thus conferred upon the Secretary Of
the Treasury, but no contracts have yet been
made. An examination of The subject has forced
the conviction upon me that it is inexpedient to
incur the expenditure until the Department is in
possession OF more accurate and complete infor-
nation. 1 shall therefore take the opinion of q
Board of competent officers upon the following
points: First, the size and character of vessels
required by the nature of the service that they
are to perform secondly, whether they should
be constructed of iron or wood, or of a combina-
tion of these materials. When the report of the
Commissioner shnll have been received, proposals
will be issued for the construction of four vessels
