NATIONAL BANK REPORTS
The Comptroller of the Currency has had
prepared blank forms of the National bank re-
ports under the law, but the demand for such
reports has not yet been made and there have
been no intimations as to what precise state
ments will be called for, or as to whether the

in the future, dating from the call made by the
Comptroller or from some time previous to that
date.
CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Within an hour after the passage of the
House resolution directing the Committee on
the Pacific Railroad to investigate certain
matters affecting the Central Pacific Company,
the following letter was placed in the hands OF
the chairman of that committee:
Washington, March 29-Hon. VIM. a. Whee-
Ter, Chairman of the House Committee on the
Pacific Railroad, Sir II respectfully request
that a meeting of your committee be called at
the earliest possible moment, not later than 10
o'clock tomorrow, to discharge the duties i'm
posed upon it BY the resolution of the House
this day passed, referring to the issue of bonds
to the Central Pacific Railroad Company of
California. l further request the author of
that resolution and all other persons willing to
assume the responsibility of the charges insin-
uated in the preamble thereto, may be reauir-
ed to be present at such meeting. At present
| cannot with propriety do more than de-
nounce every statement therein affecting the
Central Railroad Company as UNANIMOUSLY false ;,
and demand that the authors thereof shall be
promptly required to make good their state
ments or confess their falsity.
Yours, very respectfully,
@. P. HUNTINGTON,
Vice President Central Pacific II. r. Co..
The Senate Committee on the Pacific Rail
road, at their session to-day, decided that the
Central and Union Pacific Companies should
unite their roads at Ogden, it being the opinion
OF the committee this arrangement will satisfy
and mutually benefit both companies.

Dispatches to Evening Papers.
WASHINGTON.
ACTIVE RETRkNCHMRNT MEASURES.

WASHINGTON, March 29-The Tribune's
Washington dispatch says the policy of re-
trenchment and economy of the new admins
tration has been begun with vigor, and all the
departments are cutting down their expenses
rapidly. Secretary Boutwell, is taking the lead, ,
and he has already accomplished much towards
saving the peoples money. He begins by a
reduction of the clerical force in his own i'm
mediate Office. He announces that no new ap-
p0intments whatever will be made, and tells
the persons whom he has removed and whom
he intends to remove that their places will not
be filled. This course is rendered necessary
not only by the economical policy which has
been decided upon but on account of the re-
dused appropriations for the present fiscal
year. In the Printing Bureau about seventy
female and fifteen male employees have been
notified that their services will not be required
after the first of April. These reductions alone
involve an amount of about $1,000 month. A
large reduction will also be made in each of
the six Auditors offices, the work having large
ly fallen off, More employees were retained
than were necessary to do the current labor.
In the Sd Auditors Office $50 clerks are at pres
ent employed, while the law allows but 25O
Auditor Clark is already looking about him,
and will soon make large reduction. The
government printing Office is slso being i'm
proved by the retrenchment fever. Seventy
females. employed there were discharged yes
terday. The Post Office and Interior Depart
ments are following suit. The administration,
whatever else it accomplishes or fails to ac-
complish, bids fair to redeem all its promises
in the way of reform, retrenchment and econ
Omy.
REDUCTION OF THE DEBT.
The statement of the public debt for March
will be out promptly on the first of the month.
1t is believed it will show a reduction of about
$700 900 from that of month previous. The
expenditures amount to $4,000 900, and the
customs receipts will, it il believed, exceed
sis, goo, 600 for the month

longed petitioned the Government for
amnesty. Their LANDS everywhere

Mr.. Forbes was presented to the Re

American Minister. The proposal
was not accepted at present; Mr..
Forbes, however, continues his negO-
tiations. Several priests have Joined
the Carlist band. Three priests We're
arrested yesterday in Madrid.

sue to-day says reinforcements Of 20,-

The Conditions of HeaIth...-It is idle to

VI u 70 luaC "
expect health If the precautions necessary to
secure 1t are neglected. The human Organi-
zatiOn Is a delicate piece OF mechanism, and
requires as much intelligent care and watch
fulness to keep Il in order, as are requisite in
the management Of the most complicated
combination of levers, wheels and pinions.
At this season OF the year the body Is pecu-
llary sensitive, because II is greatly weaken
ed and relaxed 10y the continuous beat. The
skin, in summer, with its millions OF pores
wide open, IS a very different sort OF tegu-
ment from the compact nbr0us covering
which it becomes under the action Of the
paratively iaecid, the nerves tremulous, the
blood poor, and the whole frame less apable
of enduring fatigue and resisting disease,
than in cool weather. These indications OF
so many unmistaGable hints that nature
needs reinforcing.
Ordinary Stlmulants viii not effect this OBJ
Ject. They inffame and excite, but do not
strengthen. The only preparation which
can be depended upon to lmpart staminal
the ordeal OF the heated term without giving
way under the pressure, IS HO5IEIIER'S
STOMACH BITHERS, tonic and corrective
so pure so harmless, so utterly free from the
draw backs which render many of the pow
erful astringents employed In medical prac-
tic6 more dangerous than the ailments they
are employed to cure, that II may be admin
istered without fear to the feeblest female in-
valid, or the most delicate child. The ca
thartic and alternative vegetable ingredients
which are combined with those OF O tonic
nature in its OmpGsitiOn, keep the bowels
moderately free aud perfectly regular, while
the work or inVigOratiOn Is going on. The
finest blood depurents which the herbal
kingdom affords are also among its compo-
nents, so that II recruits, purifes and regu-
lates the system simultaneously.
