1t was one of the conditions of the

The LARGE BALANCE in the Treas

the leading dailies, and Secretary
Boutwell, is urged to dispose of from
forty to fifty millions of it by pur-
chasing bonds, so as to reduce the
amount of interest now paid. 1t is
urged that there is no longer any ne
cessity for boarding SO large bal
ance in the Treasury, and that the
country demands change in his
policy in that respect. 1t would be
a commendable movement to reduce
the balance to the smallest amount
CONSTANT with the public welfare,
and, by the purchase of bonds, save
enough annually to materially assist
in paying the interest upon the bal
ance. Besides, the money so releas-
ed would circulate and materially as
