Government Paper.

Many readers of the MINER will find more than passing interest in the following, which we copy from recent Washington correspond- ence of the New York Herald:
 The withholding in their possession for months and even years, by the public creditors oi the Treasury, drafts and United states disbursiug oniccrs' cheeks, under the Impression that they may be presented nt the office of ihc government depository on whom drawn, ani pdy ymcnt thereon be obtained at any time, has caused the Treasury much embarrassment and trouble, and Is greatly retardng the settlement of disbursing officers accounts. Accordingly. the Secretary of the Treasury has iSsucd. and directed a rigid enforce tntnt oi. a regulation which require inc Treasurer all assistant ireasurers aud Repositories of the United states 10 refuse the payment of all official cheeks oi United States disbursinE officers if pre- scntcd more than four months aftcr tbeir is-ue, and all Treasury drafs and dsburslng officers checks presented more than three years aflcr their Issue. All ch"cks, payment on which has thus been refused, will have them forwarded to the Secretary Of the Treasury, the former for cx- animation and vciihrliun with the drawers ac. connts and the latter for the statement of new accounts. These regulations are based upon the twenty-iirst section of the act Of August C. lSlG, which makes it the dniy of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue and publish regulations to cu- force the speedy presentation of all government drafts and checks for payment at the place where payable, and in default of such presentation Co direct any other mode and place Oi payment which he may deem proper and the act of May 2, 1866, which requires the repayment into ihc Treasury to the credit of outstanding liabilities Of all Treasury drafts and dlsbursing officers checks outslanding over three ycarr.
 The payment of accounts in legal tender bills would save all this trouble to the peO- pie and their servants.

Thar DEPosIToRY.--Th Thursday evening last. Col. C. P. Head, of this place, permitted Us to persuc letters from Gen. Bslknap. Sscrcta- " of War, Gen. Mcigs, Quartermaster Gen eral. and Mr. Boulwell, late Secretary of the Treasury, in answer to q petition oi citizens of this place, for the establishment of L. <. Depository here. Thc letter Of the See rotary of War is, like all documents enanat- ing from his pen, straight forward; so, also, Is that of General Meiss. Mr. Bouiwelrs is "neithcr fish nor flesh" He dodges be- hind the inky emhankment that, because there is no national bank in Prescott, he cannot place a depository here! Poor reason indeed. Tucson hasn't a national bank, but it has U. :. Depository.
 Now that there is another man at the head of the Treasury department, we request our delegate 10 work for this object, with his ac- customcd eagerne,s. Citizens and military need such an institution, and come |! must.
