A Proclamation from the MOney.God.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury states that the use by
the department of the legal tender reserves
will tnot] exceed three millions, and it is
hardly expected to be much over two mil
lions. The amount drawn from the reserve
fund is for the convenience of the depart
ment alone, and has no relation whatever
to the money market and is not concen-
trated at any one place, but distributed in
paying warrants to parties all over the coun-
| try. There is no intention at the depart
ment TO permanently expand the currency,
and in his views upon this subjectAssstant
Secretary Richardson fully accords with
Boutwell,. The Treasurer's statement to-
day shows the legal tenders outstanding to
be 1851, ,059, ,450, being $1,059,450 in ad-
vance of the am punt shown IN the last debt
statement.

Judge Richardson will tomorrow assume
charge of the Treasury Department as act
ing Secretary, Boutwell, having this after
noon made his last official signature. BE,
however, has not yet written his letter Of
resignation, and will not until his creden-
tials arrive, which will be tomorrow

this afternoon and congratulated him in
these words: l congratulate the country,
congratulate the State, and congratulate
myself in having you as my colleague.
