nEYlEWED my FERNANDO WOon.--
When the Pension Appropriationsbill
comes up in the House tomorrow it is
the2 intention Of Fernando Wood to
make a bold attack upon Secretary
Boutwell's management Of the Trea-
sury. Mr.. Wood holds that as mattors
now stand the Secretary is endowed
with too much, power. Ho accuses
Mr.. Boutwell, Of beiDg withouta a poll!
oy and of welding his power to suit
his own whims, regardless of the in.
forests Of thelpeople. In purchasing
bonds Wood says the Secretary has
really inoreascd the dobt, inste ad Of
diminishingtit, because no has. had to
pay premium onaall the bonds pur-.
chased. He also arraigns Boutwell,,
for purchasing more bonds for tho
sinking, fund thanthe law permits him
to purchase. Ho condemns the poll
oy Of redeeming bonds before they
have jmaturod, under any oiroumstan-
ces. Tho monthly statemouts of the
public dubt, Mr.. Wood says, arc not
correct. They are not frank aud the
people are deceived by them. If the
debt has really decreased Mr.. Wood
thinks it owing to increased importa-
tiop Of dat:ablo goods aud to tho re-
newal Of trade at the South, not to
any policy adopted to Mr., Boutwell,.
He thiuks, however, that Mr.. Bout
well is honest aud that his blundors
arc committod through incapacity.-

possibly be expected TO favor the
Cubans, IN view Of his previous and
present, Cuban policy. The answer
