WAsnINGroN April 3O.-It viii he emeubered
that the President II his last annual message, basng
his opinion on the report of the Board Of Audit con-
platulated the country that the total debt Of the
District when its accounts all squared up
would he only about $14,000,00o. This was de-
nouuccd ut the time as whitewaS, invented 10 save
the Shepherd gang from disgrace Ii was simply
equivalent to saying that while the District Goycrn
Ineut had been forbidden by law to involve the
District in debt to the amount of more
than $lO,O000O0, il had exceeded that limit BY
ONLY 33 per cent. In that statement the utmost
limit Of the thrcc-siXty-tye bonds was given as
about 81, 600 600. More than $s,00000o OF these
bonds have already been issued, and from II o0o,ooo
to 81 900. 900 more VIII have to be issued before
the accounts are all settled. There is the highest
authority for the assertion that the amount of three
sixtv-fye bond, will not IL less than S120oO,oOO
and that it may be $15,000,0OO. In
other words the net result of the three years
misuIanacemert Of the Ring, will be an increase OF
the debt of the District from about T5,00O,OOO from
500 600 600 to So 600 900. New liabilities Of the
old King are almost daily discovered One OF the
last is the loan Of ! 900 from the Linthcum Fund

Lerislature 10 record of it has been found among
the books and papers of the late Government, and
the Commissioners discovered its existence only

fye-year notes of $4,000 each, at per cent, the
interest being represented by 80 coupons. Only SIX
Of these coupons have been paid, and fourteen are
now past due.
