WASHINGTON NOTES.
WASHINGTON, Wednel

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. %, 1874
IL seems that the National Bank OF Washington
is which has improperly had large sums
OF Government money in hand, without security. 1t
will be that the Secretary OF the Treasury,
few DAYS before the failure OF the First National Bank
in this city, allowed over 100000 in 60cent currency to
be deposited ia tho bank, without any security
II owed the Government nearly 100000 A National
hank i'm Salt Lake is somewhat the same condi-
tion It does not pay the Treasury drafts with any
degree promptness and t Is suggested that has
large of Government funds in its hands winch
are in no way by deposits OF bonds and that
will found very difficult for the Government 10 get
possession OF the funds again.
The House Committee on Banking and Currency agreed
to bring in private bill allowing banks issuing gold
notes to the extent OF 50 cent OF the bond
deposs with the United States Treasurer, instead Of
ncoI porating the same IN u section OF tho General
Banking bill.
The popular feeling is clearly expressed that what
ever form economy may take in Congress, the Big
nal Service should not be crippled in and that
liberal appropriations should be made for Its uses

which the Conservatives never practiced was unfa-
vorable to the Conservative reaction. In concusions

party Liberal Union.n If the Liberals were not
united they would suffer a dsgraceful defeat; II
dssensions occurred he would refuse TO continue tn
lead the party.

THE ARMY BILL.

THE TOTAL AMOUNT APPROPRIATED, S2S,449,9l6-
ONLY HALF THE USUAL NUMBER OF MEN 10 BE
RECRUITED THE COMING YEAR.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S-In explaining the chief
features of the Army bill to the House to-day, Mr..
Wheeler said that the appropriations made last year
for the maintenance of the military establishment
were 1871 OOO000 the estimates for the ensuing fiscal
year. 1874 SS1 6lS; the revised estimates, S32 6S nc;
the amount allowed by the Committee in the bill,
2s,449,916. The reduction of over four millions
made by the Committee was effected in the main by
the provision reducing the number of enlisted men
to $1,000, by partially stopping recruiting. Ten
thousand men leave the army annually by deser
tons, deaths, and expiration of terms of service.
To reduce the force to the new standard it Will
only be necessary to recruit half the usual
number of men during the coming year.
Referring to the employment of the army in
the Territories Mr.. Wheeler expressed doubts as to
the obligation of the Government to 60 to heavy
expense TO protect few of its citizens who choose
to wander far beyond the confines of civilization.
He said there 5000 men stationed in the Terri
tories of Montana. Dakota and Idaho, where there
in all only $4,000 white inhabitants, and that
$4,000 were spent annually on the mere ncidentals
of the Indian service in those Territories Then

erinp hundreds and sometimes thousands OF sheets
conveying no valuable information. One OF the
reports of this kind relating to expenditures IN the
Indian service. sent to the Senate early IN the
session, and Mr.. Anthony, from the Committee on
Printing reported to-day on o resolution to put 1t
into type.
Thus report calls the attention of the Senate to the
fact that the document referred to is of very little
practical value and that it contains many very
large items of travelling" and contingent" e1-
penses, which ought to be explained. The report
also suggests that there was formerly published
every year, in accordance with the law, document
giving detailed account of unpaid balances on the
books of the Second and Third Auditors OF the
Treasury The last report of this kind, which was
sent to Congress on the Sd of March, 1865 COM
prised the following:
First: A statement OF the accounts which have re-
NAMED unsettled or which balances appear to have
been due than three years prior TO July 1863
prepared in pursuance of the directions contained In
the second section of the act Of March 3, 1909
Second statement OF the names of such officers "a
have not rendered their accounts within the year, or
have balances unaccouned for Of the advances made
prior to July 1862 as appears by the books OF
this Office prepared in pursuance Of the thirteenth
section Of the act of March 8, 1877.
Third statement of the names dropped from the re-
port of balances OF the three years preceding 1867
1861 and 1867 pursuance Of the letter Of the first Con-
troller, dated Feb "a, 1s43.
The failure to send to Congress this document is
excused on the ground that the increased business
of the Treasury officers consequent upon the war
has made it impossible for them to prepare this
port If the number Of Government defaulters is
not much greater than any supposes it to be, the
preparation of this document would require much
less time and expense than transcrbng the useless
figures of the Treasury accounts that are sent in

that has not been complied with since 1851 is that
