compelled to give the p. NJ. in Augusta,
a receipt for this letter before they could

they only found sixty cents; therefore,
they sent no papers. 1t will readily ap
pear to any one that il the letter had been
broken open on the way, all the money
would have been taken out, and not a
part. 1t is also clear that if the letter
had b&a any appearance of having been
broken open, they would never have re.

the money to lose out, for it was folded
up in the letter, the letter placed in

Boutwell, Defends His Policy.

Boutwell, Defends Hi. Policy.
AWashington special to the New York
Herald says:
The Secretary OF the Treasury seems to
bc much amused at the newspaper criticism
INDUCED in so freely of late concerning his
policy of boarding gold and greenbacks
He asserts that his critics are ignorant of
the facts which they discuss, and are not
aware of the condition of the treasury. His
policy, he says, is not to hoard any more
than is necessary to meet the public obi
cations and keep him from going upon the
market to borrow. BY the act Of Congress
passed at the last session. to provide add
tiOnal banking facilities and for other pur-
poses. the Secretary of the Treasury is
Obliged to redeem the three per cent certiti-
Gates as fast as the circulation is issued to
the national banks This is for the purpose
of preventing initiation. Four millions of
national currency have been issued to the
national banks up to the first of December.
and two millions snce-making in all six
millions. An equal amount of three per
cents had. according to the law, to be re-
deemed III greenbacks. 1t will be seen from
this that the currency balance of the Secrc-
tary was we'll employed. On the first Of
January, 1869, the coin balance in the
treasury was seventy millions and the cur
rency balance eight millions.
The amount on hand at the present time
is eighty millions of gold and twenty-four
millions Of currency. This appears to be a
large balance of both currency and gold.
The Controller of the Currency states that
there are applications for circulating notes
from national banks under the recent act
OF Congress to the amount of thirty
millions. OF this sum he thinks that at
least fifteen millions will be granted, OF.
in other words. that enough banks will COM
ply with the requirements OF the act OF
Congress to secure the issue of $4,000. 900
in currency, Thus every million of dollars
issued to the national bank will require the
purchase Of an equal amount of three per
cents, the money for which is to come out
OF the currency balance on hand in the
Treasury Department On the first of
january the Secretary will be required
pay out So, 100000 OF gold for interest on
the public debt Besides this there are
$lO,OOO,OOO Of gold belonging to interest con
the public debt which has not been paid,
but which is liable 10 be called for at any
time. making in all torty-two millions out
OF the eighty millions which is AS good az
paid out. After the first of January the
gold balance will not be 50 large, owing to
the fact that the receipts from customs will
be less under the new tariff which goes into
effect. In view of these facts the Secretary
does not see his way clear to change the
policy which he has heretofore pursued.
