Greenbacks in the Treasury.

1t will he noticed hv those who take
the trouble to examine the October debt
statement, that there only six and q half
million of greenbacks in the Treasury.
This is the smallest amount of legal
tenders, we believe that were ever held
by the Government; and the sum barely
suffices for its running expenses This
is not the result OF accident, but Of de-
sign. Grant promised some months
ago that when the time for the moving
of the crops shonld come, he would give
the people the full benefit Of the curren-
cy circulation. He has redeemed that
promise. Six and half millions of dol.
lars are in the Treasury, the rest of the
greenbacks and national currency is all
circulating among the people.

olution by appropriating $500 TO Homo
