ceipts that come into the Treasury
daily, the aggregate sum OF which
IS either increased or decreased ac-
cording to the daily expenditures,
and which varies at the beginning
of each month according to the re-
celpts and expenditures of the pre-
cedlng thirty days. To show the

Now. TO give Mr.. Boutwell, avery
liberal credit in the matter OF bonds
purchased, which he now designates
as Special Fund.-" namely S49,-
Al, 698 81, increase of bonds pur~
chased as per table above, with the
average premium paid in the pur-
chase of these bonds, at twenty per
cent, s6,694,338 IS, making a total
of $50, 1886, OBS 30, and deducting
therefrom the amount Of this 'Spe-
ciaI Fund.-" or purchased bonds
with which he has no right to Gre
dit himself a second time, and which
is mere waste paper in the hands
of Government, and If shows an in
crease IN this particular item Of the
aggregate public Indebtedness Of
S21,732,013 81.
Another process by which Mr..
Boutwell, figures upon a regular de-
crease of the debt is by deducting
the amount ofcssh On hand in the
Treasury at the beginning of each
month from the aggregate total of
the outstanding debt. This cash On
hand consists of coin, certificates of
gold deposited, (Which belongs 20
individuals and not to the Govern
ment), sinking fund in United
States coin interest bonds, and int
crest collected and accrued there.
