claim that these discrepancies are the
mere difference between the Secretarys
and Registers Office, or between the
new table of the public debt which he
originated in 1871 and the regular
balances in the Registers office. But
Congress and the country took the
latter's official figures, until 1870, OF
the public debt. by what authority did
the Secretary Of the Treasury, in his
table of 1870, go back and change the
Registers report tor that year, and
which for years had been accepted as
true! Secretary Chase and the Regis
ter agreed as to the public debt in 1862,
and it was deemed accurate; but eight
years afterwards the figures are chang
ed 10 show all increase OF ten millions!
These alterations appear in all branches
of the service-internal revenue, the
Pension Fund, loans and notes, DC.
1t is idle to charge these to an irregular
system of book. keeping, which in 1870
changed the official figures running for
thirty or forty years back i'll the Regis
ter's Office of the Treasury. If this plea
be sustained, of what value are the fig
ures in the finance reports-differing as
they do in details for twelve years
which have been sent to Congress?
One may take the report of 1868 and
find that ten years afterwards the public
debt in the report Of 1870 for the year
1868 is millions more than stated at
the time it was contracted. Let the
Senate Finance Committee turn on the
light and explain, if it can, these start
ling revelations.

report Of 1874 over 1870 of &c., 039 ,O3
In the War Department expenses the
finance report of 1871 shows that for
the year 1868 there is difference Of
$4,Ol5, 10000 as compared with the
statement for the same year in the
finance report of 1869. Between the
figures of the report of 1870 aud that of
1868 there is difference in the Indian
expenses for 1868 of only s2,075, TO6,
So! The reports of 1868, 1864 and
1870 vary widely as to the loans and
Treasury notes issued in 1868, though
these are explained partly afterwards
by mischievous and irregular system
of bookkeeping.
In the public debt statements the
most extraordinary alterations are
found. In the Registers report for
1871 the public debt for the years 1862
to 1870, inclusive, foots up Sl9,272,-
55,56l,57. In the report for 1870,
for the same years, the public debt is
stated to be f19,O23, 595, POS, 63-show-
ing a difference or increase of over
s24s,ooO,00O! On page of,he finance
report for 1878 the Secretary says the
decrease for the year was S43,667 $780,
05, making a difference of s24, 500, 1884,

In the finance report for
1874 the public debt for

Now when there is so much worrying
and wailing and legislating about econ
a conundrum touching that matter?
If you write to a person in certain for
eign countries, our government will for
ward your letter Misunderstanding youto
prepay the postage, but if you write to
a person in your own or a neighboring
state you must not only prepay, but be
sure you do not fall short a single penny
if you do. the government will be afraid
to risk G. llecting the other penny at the
other erd, but will rush y our letter to
the dead-l sitter office lat IN expense of
about two ~cents), and then write you
lat an expense Of three cents, that you
can have it by writing for it prepay
ment three cents) and enclosing three
cents for the transmission. To illustrate
onr system: A fortnight ago a citizen
of Hartford mailed a letter, directed to
me at this place where l am summering
andinadvertently fell n cent short of
full prepayment. The p~ostoffice authori-
tiesheld a council of war over it,and then
sent it TO Washington in charge Of an
artillery regiment, at great cost to the
nation. The dead-letter department
worried owe it several days and nights,
and then wrote me lat a cost Of three

~three-cent stamp, or its equivalent in

THE LATEST WONDER.

The readers of the Traveller have been
made acquainted with the wonderful
invention OF Prof. Bell, by which mu-
sical sounds a be sent W. the cleo
trio wires, but few if any, r aware of
the wonderful results which are sure
to follow these improvements in tele-
graphy. A few nights ago Prof. Bell
was in communication with q tele-
graphic operator in New York, and
commenced experimenting with M Of
his inventions pertaining to the trans
mission Of musical sounds. He made
use Of his phonetic organ and played
the tune of aAmerica, and asked the
operator in New York what he heard.
81 hear the tune America replied
New York, s'give US another"
Prof Bell then played "Auld Lang
syne.n
"What do you hear now?"
~ hear the tune Aud Lang Syne,'
with the full cords, distinctly" replied
New York.
Thus, the astounding discovery has
been made that a man can play upon
musical instruments in New York, New
Orleans, or London, or Paris, and be
heard distinctly in Boston. If this can
be done, why cannot distinguished per-
formers execute the most artistic and
beautiful music in Paris, with an audi
enc assembled in Music Hall, Boston,
to listen?
Prof. Bells other improvement, name
ly the transmission of the human voice,
has become SO far perfected that per-
sons have conversed over one Thousand
miles of wire with perfect ease, although
as yet the vocal sounds are not loud
enough to be heard by more than one
or two persons. But If the human
voice Of each can be recognized, we
may soon have distinguished men de-
livering speeches in Washington, New
York, or London and audiences assem-
bled in Music Hall or Faneuil Hall to
listen.
