The sales on the 4th inst. were as fol-
Government Gold Sales.

The Cincinnati Gazette thus comments
on recent s1les of sold by the Government:
We learn from our New York exchanges
that the Government sold on Saturday
81 900, 600 in gold, deliverableon Monday,
and invested the proceeds in 20 bonds.
The gold is the accumulated May interest
on the sinking and special fund in the
Treasury. The sale of gold and the pur-
chase of bonds was not made in the usual
public manner, but through brokers. Why
this was done We are not informed, but the
orders for these transactions were given by
Treasurer Spinner, who is ca o62eio Com
missioner Of the sinking fund, and he pro-
badly thought it was better for the inter
ests IN his charge, but we cannot approve
any secret transactions in the Government
finances, and this is especially to be depre-
Gated, as Congress long ago passed reso-
luton prohibiting secret sales of gold by
the Secretary of the Treasury.
