will. at the aext SESSION, introduce
his original resolution, slightly
changed, looking to thorough IN
vest CATION Of the workings OF the
Treasury Department and to cor
rect knowledge Of the amount OF
our public debt. This is q subject
of vast importance, and concerns
every man, woman and child in the
country. l predict that this wise
and necessary resolution will not,
this time, received the light consid-
Grafton formerly given it by Demo
crat as we'll as Republican Senators,
but that the best men of the Senate
will be put upon the Special Com
mittee which will be appointed and
that they will make thorough work.
The recent reduction in the num-
Der of pension-paying agencies, hav-
ng had its first trial at the 4th OF
September payment, is found to be
an inconvenience to many pension
ers. It adds besides an expense Of
from 80 cents to 81 90 to a large
number of them, thus taking from
individuals more than is saved by the
Government. This is unjust, being
a tax on men, women and children
who are, as q rule, poor and more
or less disabled. But this Admins
ration, whose head was but now
talking safe nonsense to the soldiers
of Ohio, has before distinguished
itself by illegal and unprecedent-
ed interference with the rights of
that class. The bounty laws, which,
under such lawyers as Chase, Fes-
sender and Bristow, for Secretaries
of the Treasury, was held to be am
pie authority for payments to SOL
diers and their heirs, are utterly dis
regarded by Sherman.
Three thousand pieces of real
estate sold for unpaid taxes in this
District lately, were bought in by
the District Government, and steps
are being taken to perfect their
titles. To this end the District At
tornsy is preparing papers to submit
to the Courts in all the cases. Ex-
cept in one or two localities real
estate may be said to be drug in
the market here, and it is extremely
doubtful il half OF it would sell for
the amount of mortgages ON it.
The extensive changes around the
Capitol commenced, three years
ago, are approaching completion,
and the improvement il manifest.
Further purchases Of land are spoken
or, bat most Of the late changes viii
probably be permanent. whatever
additions Of land may be made.
