are millions Of them in the wUeST pc1asy----l
in some places they have swept everything
before them. Crawford county has been at
tackled and in most cases farmers ploughed up
their wheat and planted corn. In Humboldt
county they began operations and near Spring
vale, in two days, they had cleaned thirteen
acres of every green thing as clean as floor
could be swept. In Clay county they have
commenced their ravages on the wheat fields,
and are nipping the grain off close to the
ground. They cut swarths through grain fields
as clean as it could be done with good reap
ing machine. There appears to be none in
those counties which we're so devastated last

Letter from WUSh{ngtOn.

WASHINGTON, u. u, June 10, 1871.
The District Investigating Committee has
told the story in their report to-day. 1t is sad
to think that they found it proper to say to the
country that the existing form of government
is failure, in consequence of it being too cum
brous and expensive; that there were not suffi-
cient safeguards thrown around it to guard
against inistration in office. 1t is now
hoped by all that if any official of the District
is found who has committed a criminal act in
connection with District affairs, he will suffer
the full penalty of the law, and the committee
will come far short of performing its duties if
1T does not recommend immediate action to that
end. The people here, at least except those
who must have been particepS criminis in wrong
doing trusted that any Encouragement would
be found to be due to ignorance, rather than to
intentional wrong on the part of the Board of
Public Works. In Justice to the committee, it
would be well to state that it is not its iudg-
ment to discriminate against the innocent tax
payers here, and they have therefore incorpor-
ated provisions in the report by which they
will in the end be unidentified against losses
sustained.
AT last we are to have a currency bill passed
by Congress that will be likely to receive the
signature of the President, and the general
sanction OF the country. The bill which pass
ed the Senate last Friday, by vote of 80 to %,
despite the efforts of the democratic party and
few grasping republican bondholders, to in
huence the President adversely by denouncing
it, will no doubt receive his sanction, when
properly amended as to the time Of resumption,
and as it will be. There is little or no imitation
in it, while there is some relief to the West and
South by its provisions for free banking and for
unlocking $4,000 600 of the reserve in circula-
ton, now required to lie in the vaults of Ma
tionai Banks. The bill maintains for the pres
ent the limit of $3S2,O00,OOO, greenback circu-
lation, and provides for its future reduction at
n for - i
bank notes issued under the new law until the
greenbacks are reduced to $500, 900, 900, when
the reduction shall stop. 1t provides for the
convertibility, after January 1st, 1874, of all
green acks into gold, or into gold interest bonds,
bearing five, four and a-half, or four per cent.
interest at par, at the option of the Secretary
OF the Treasury, as to rate of interest and
whether redemption be in bonds or gold, the
greenbacks so converted to be DESTROYED. LIZ
