The secretary of the treasury has instructed
the assistant treasurer at New York to buy two
millions in bonds each Wednesday, and to sell
two millions in gold each Thursday, during Oc-
tOber.
The controller of currency will soon call for a
report Of the condition of the national banks.
Several bureau officials in the treasury and
other departments have already accumulated
data for an official report.
THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
The impression prevails that as eX-Postmaster
Slmms, at Atlanta, Ca. was not found guilty at
his trial, on the 21St inst, of cmbezzng over
$4,000 belonging to the money-ordcr funds
that the government will lose that amount
This is incorrect. Having been cleared of the
criminal suit, the bureau of justice will now en-.
ter Il civil suit against Simms's bondsmen, to
recover the amount for which he failed to &C.
count to the postoice department. Smms was
appointed postmaster by President johnson in
1868, and not by President Grant, as has been
alleged. 1t is not doubted here that the govern
ment will recover the whole amount which it is
claimed he embezzled.
The statistics to accompany the report of Post
master General Creswell have been nearly COM
pleted and all the friends of the administration.
as well as the public at large, will be gratifed to
know that over two millions of the sum appro-
piatcd TO meet the expenses of the post office
department during the last fiscal year are still
on hand, after paying and adjusting all claims.
This fact alone establishes Gen. Creswells claim
tC rigid economy in his department, and this
great saving 10 the country is accomplished in
the face of the fact that the opening up of over
six thousand miles of new postal service was
begun during the fiscal year. at a heavy ex-
pense.
MR.. BOUTWELL,.
Secretary Boutwell, has returned
KUKLUX.
Information has reached here from Yorkville,
South Carolina, that several days ago under
warrants issued by the United States commits
SOner eight or nine persons were arrested, on
charge of having whipped negro woman IN
May last. After an investigation they were re-
CURED to give bail in $4,000 each for appearance
in the United States court, in Columbia, in No
yember Other arrests will be made under the
kukluX act. At last accounts the prisoners
were not Dailed.
MIR. BRUNOT.
1t is generally believed that Mr. Brunot will
reconsider his declination of the office of com
missioner of Indian affairs
NAVAL.
The second controller decides that men en-
listing in the navy in foreign country are en-
titled to transportation to the place of enlist
ment; also that staff officers retired for a
length of service can only claim the rank of
retirement, and receive no increased pay; also
that officers promoted under the act Of July
Isl, 1870, only received increased pay from
that day.
