The committee investigating the charges
against the District Of Columbia commission
ers and the board OF audit is about ready to
report. 1t finds no other ground for charges
OF illegal action on the part of the commits
sioners than the fact that they have, IN GER
tain cases, given rather a liberal construction
to the provision of the law authorizing them
to continue the contracts existing when they
came into Office. Thus a contract for grad
ing street where the work was not much
needed would be modified so as to apply to
some street where it could be carried out
with more advantage to the District. The
allegations that the board of audit approved
unsound claims are unsupported.

Mr., LANDERs has offered in the House one
of the most extraordinary propositions of the
centennial year, and one which is thoroughly
Democratic. tits to reunite the sections by the
cohesive power of public plumber" The
North is TO consent to the restoration of rebel
pensioners TO the list from which they have
been stricken, and the South is 10 vote for
the bill 10 equalze bounties. 1t has been the
experience of the Democracy that its warning
factions can always be united by an ''equita-
BILE division" of the public money, their dis
sensions usually arising from quarrels about
the distribution of plunder Mr. Landers

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

THE national debt shows a decrease of
three and half millions Of dollars during the
month OF March. Since June, the reduction
has been nearly eighteen millions. There
now remain outstanding of bonds on which
interest has ceased only about nine millions.
But over hundred millions formerly bearing
six per cent. interest have been funded at
hve per cent, and the annual interest re-
duced by seven millions. Could Congress
only bring itself to act on the pending fund
ing DILL instead of squabbling over petty re-
auctions in the salaries of clerks, this reduc-
tlon would be even more rapid, and we
should cease paying six per cent. interest on

cents. are now quoted at LOG, and there is
little doubt that four and half per cents.
