A STORY THAT MUST BE RECEIVED WITH SOME
ALLOWANCES.
Ii is stated that the ways and means COM
mittee, in the Investigation of the syndicate
transactions Of Secretary Boutwell,, requested
representative Cox to PROFOUND queries to the
secretary. The substance of Mr.. BOutwelPs re-
sponses was that the public debt had been in
creased one hundred and thirty millions, as it
was impossible to place the loan without this
temporary increase, the law as written being
impossible of execution; the secretary construed
it for the best interests of the country; as he
understood the law, it gave him discretion TO
increase the debt. In response to the query
whether he increased the expenses of the synd-
cate above the half of one per cent. allowed by
law, the secretary said that although seven mil
lion dollars had been appropriated to place the
whole 81 800, 100000, he had right under the
law to use any portion of the 81 ,000, 900 for the
expenses OF any portion OF the whole loan
During three months there was an increase of
the interest of the public debt, during which
time the treasury really paid eleven per cent
upon 100000. The secretary did not con-
slider that the government had lost anything
during these three months, as there was an ult-
mate gain to the people in the reduction of the
debt. The three months interest lost TO the
government on the $50 900 900 was gained bv
the syndicate, as it was under their option and
control during that time, and was in excess of
the allowance made to the syndicate, which real.
lied thus profit of one or one and a half per
cent; the exact amount of this profit is not
known, as Jay Cooke would not say how much
It was. The secretary is said TO have ended all
further funding Of the loan until be has the APP
proyal OF congress.
