WAsHisoroS, d. @, Nov. 1.-The re-
ports Of the Comptroller OF the currency
and Treasurer Spinner are not eompIe'e
but are in . pretty forward state oil prep
~rasion. Tho Comptroller will not recon-
n sfrency law, but will ask for new
reislstion on one or two minor technical
points. The treasury officials are highly
pleased with that part Of the sci WHICH
regulates the
REDEMPTION or MUTILATED CURRENCY
and predict that next year IL will work
even better than il has this. In the short
time that IL has been In operation, less
than i've months, more than $4,000, 900
Of National Bank currency have been re-
csived for exchange for legal tenders
SIC, 100000 have been counted, assorted,
aud sent TO the Comptroller. Of the re-
naming $40, oo0, 0oe, throe.hfths are ready
TO send 10 the Comptroller and Redemp-
ton Agent, and 100000 will soon be
ready for the transfer. IL should be borne
in mind, too, that there has been stop
page In redemptions for one whole month,
because when the redemption was begun
the agency was in no proper shape for the
work. Experience shows that $40, 900, 900
per month can be disposed of by
the present force of exports, or
an aggregate Of $l20o0o,0o0 per
annum, making it possible to

ejaculation
once IN three years. Ordinary bank notes
will not last much longer than that
length OF time. The opinions of the
treasury officials differ as 10 whether the
five per cent provision is sufficient for
easy redemption.
Gen. Spinner will In his report renew
some Of his old recommendations with
respect to the currency, and will have
some new suggestions rs TO the means by
which the ultimate resumption Of coin
payments can be attained.
The Secretary Of War to-day had under
consideration the request of the Cincinna'
ii Chamber OF Commerce that clothing
be Issued from the stores At Jsiiersonyills
Ind, TO the Nebraska sufferers. He had
not received the resolutions, but was ap
prissd Of their passage by kilograms II

init the matter TO the President to-mor

comply with the request.

calling in $4,000, 900 of the dve-twentie
of 1852 10 based upon recent reports from
the European Syndicate. which demon
strste an increased demand within few
VIC ks for the new tves, The gratifying
evidence of the still growing popularit,
Of the United etates securities abroad
make IL almost certain, in the opinion o
the Treasury officials, that the Syndicst
will avail themselves promptly Of thei
option for the remainder Of the loan.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The small reduction Of the public debt
of last month is due TO the remarkable do
crease in customs duties, and the fact tina
during October many heavy appropris

fell due.
