TREASURY DEPARTMEN ST.
(RETS

In the year 1870 Mr i Ur"ELL, then
Secretary of the Treasury, undert"~N OF
his own accord, without the authority OF
Congress and without officially telling
anybody about it, to remodel the public
debt statement of his predecessors for
thirty-six years back. Neither Congress or
the country knew what Mr.. BOUTWELL,
was doing at the time, nor what he had
done, till six years afterwards. lie
seems to have had some reason for
keeping the matter secret; tor'
IN January last, when attention was
called in the Senate TO strange
differences between Mr.. BOUTWELL, S
remodelled statement and the statements
of his predecessors, he did not tell the
country what he had done. The subject
came up several times for discussion, al
forwards, in the senate, and yet MIR.
boutwell, failed to rise in his seat In
the senate and explain the disagreements;
and il was not till letter from Secretary
BRIsTow, mentioning the fact that MIR.
Boutwell,. had remodelled the state :
ments, was sent to the senate, that the
Massachusetts senator rose in the senate
and admitted the fact. Even then he did
not explain why he had not made the
matter public sooner.
Secretary BRIsTow's letter to the Sen
ate Committee on Finance, says: "The
year 1869 was the first Of Secretary
BoUTwELL's administration who re-
modelled the debt statement, and, add,
increased 1t many millions" He did
increase it many Millions indeed. He
began as far back as 1884, and restated 1t
down to 1870; and the aggregate yearly
increase for the nine years, from lS62 to
1870, inclusive, amount 10 S24S,96O, 49,.
What right had he to overhaul the filed
official reports Of his predecessors, Nc
CULLoCH, FEssENDEN, CHASE and
others, for thirty-six years back,
and change them, without the
country knowing anything about it,
has never been satisfactorily explained
to this day-and never will be. Mr..
boutwell, had some particular object
to accomplish by the secret proceeding
and that object seems to have had the
approval OF the Republican leaders IN the
Senate: for, when Senator DAVIS, OF
West Virginia, moved the appointment
of a special committee to investigate and
explain the differences between the re-
ports, tho Senate refused to allow II,
and referred the matter to its standing
committee on finance. This committee
made no investigation whatever; 1t did
not examine "a single book
or paper; it merely took
q pretended explanation from the
treasury officials and reported it to the
Senate. This suspicious report signally
failed to reach the case; it contains dis
crepancies itself, and is more bewildering
than explanatory. Senator DAVIS ex-
posed its inaccuracies, and offered n reso-
luton calling on the register Of the

there is serious danger of deadlock
between the two Houses on the Appro-

THE KNoTTY QUESTION INDEFINITELY POST
PoNED YEsTERDAY-THE TEMPERANCE PEo-
PIE REFERRED TO THE COURTS.
PHILADELPHIA, May An the Centen
nial Commission, this afternoon, the ques-
tion OF approving the contracts of the Board
of Finance, by which the sale of liquors
within the grounds was licensed, was taken
up. Mr.. Nye of Maine submitted the opin-
ion of the solicitor of the Commission, j ohm
L. Shoemaker, upon the question whether
it was unlawful for the Commission to SUE
tain the concessions for the sale of intoxi-
eating drinks within the grounds. The
question was raised in view of a rule of the
Fairmonnt Park, which prohibits such sale.
Mr.. Shoemaker took the ground in his opin-
ion that the rules of the Park Commission
were abrogated, or at least suspended, dur
ing the occupancy of the grounds by the
Centennial authorities, aud that the city,
State, and national utterances and legisla-
ton had given the Commissioners full pow
er over the grounds.
These contracts with individuals inside
the buildings and with restaurants, &C.,
within the grounds are of three kinds, SEEM
ipgly made with view to suit all tastes,
viz , nothing stronger than soda water shall
be sold in Machinery Hall, light wines in
lne naiu DullulnB, ana malt liquors IN
Agricultural Hall the restaurants may sell
anything, not at a bar, but at tables.
The fact appeared in debate, and also in
the Solicitors opinion, that large bonuses
had been accepted by the Board of Finance
from restaurants and cafes on the faith that
they would be permitted to sell liquor un-
der these restrictions, and large amounts Of
money had been expended with this
view, and it was strongly urged by
men like Mr.. Kimble, of New York, that
it would be a breach of good faith to at
tempt to overturn these contracts at this
late day. The most strenuous advocate of
the temperance men was Mr.. Nye, of
Maine. He was for annulling the contracts
absolutely, and stated that injunction pa.
pers had already been prepared, which
would endeavor to restrain the Commission
itself from permitting the sale.
President Hawley said that, while he
would be willing to allow the sale of ales
and the lighter wines at meals, was of
opinion the honorable wav was to tender
the money back which the liquor sellers had
expended, and thus get rid Of the question
of good faith to those with whom con-
tracts had been made. On motion of Mr..
Crawford of Kansas the whole subject was
indefinitely postponed, thus practically re-
ferring the temperance men to the courts.
The vote stood 18 to 8.
