The ReDOrt o, the Committee upon
me Currency Printing.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Senator Ed
munds, of The Committee that was
charged with an investig alton of Treas
ury affairs, has reported that since 1850
currency representing over eighteen and
a quarter billions of dollars has been
printed by the Department, and that
only few trivial mistakes have been
made. In regard to the registered and
coupon bonds, known as the five-twen-
ties of 1862, third series, one 500 bond,
and one hundred and three of the $500
bonds are not accounted for. The fol-
lowing were delivered by the Printing
Bureau to the Register of the Treasurer
and are claimed by those officers RESP &C.
committee for destru elton, or to have
been destroyed, viz 33, sos bonds of $50
each 66,300 bonds Of 500 each 40, 233
bonds of$1 900 each. Ofthe 81 900 bon,.s,
rs, 900 were delivered to the Reg lister,
and 7,71S to the Treasurer.
The Committee say, in reference to
the foregoing: The direct evidence is
entirely inGompleted to show the dis
tinctiOn of the bonds Of this third Sc
ries, not issued, and stated in these
tables from the registers books to have
been destroyed. No documentary proof
of the fact Is to be found further than
that the destruction was directed. And
the coming in ofsundry duplicated cou-
pons of the series produces in the minds
of the Committee some solicitude on the
whole subject of this series, although the
whole redemption of coupons does rot
exceed the amount issued but in the
case Of this series, the redemption of
coupons comes so near to the whole is
sue appearing on the registers books
that the duplicat Lion cannot be fully ex-
planned by the absence of coupons en-
tirely from some numbers.
A table is given of the two-year five
per cent. Treasury notes issued under
the act of March, 1868, without coupons
Large discrepancies exist, but the Com
mittee say that, considering the fact
that this issue has been long overdue,
the probability is very strong that no
fraud has been perpetrated on the Gov
eminent whatever. Criticism may be
justly bestowed upon such careless book
keeping.
The Committee find only few fraud
ulent coupons in existence.
The Committee have reached the con-
clnsion that methods of printing, num-
bering, sealing, and issuing of the Sec
ur tiles of the United States ought to
be adopted which will approach the
nearest to beingabsolutely secure against
error and fraud even if such method
should be much more expensive than
others having less guarantees and pro-
lection.
