Investigating the United States Treasury

The "bee in the bonnet of Senator Davis,
discrepancies in the accounts Of the United
States Treasury. which indicate dishonest
book keeping. and which, as he suspects,
cover up some very questionable translc-
tons lie has accordingly introduced at
every session bill for special committee
of five Senators to investigate the discrepan
cies. Ex-Secrctary Boutwell, and others
have explained. from time to time. that the
discrepancies arc not actual but only IN
seeming, and are due to differing modes
of keeping the accounts, in different branches
of the department, in practice several years
ago, but which have now been changed so as
to bring the accounts into harmony. But
Mr.. Davis has not been satisfied, lie had
his resolution in promptly, at the opening OF
the present session, and there seems to be d
willingness to humor him, in the hope.
doubtless, Of putting final end to his griev-
ance. In the Senate, on the 10th inst, Mr..
Morrill,, of Vermont, submitted the follow
ing as II substitute for the resolution of Mr..
Davis
Rcsoiuea, That committee OF three be
Amounted to investigate the finance reports,
books and accounts OF the Treasury Depart
ment, particularly the reports Of 1869 to IS :
inclusive, 10 ascertain whether or not any
actual differences or discrepancies eaist,
and also whether or not any alterations in
amounts or figures have been made, and re
port the facts to the Senate.
Mr. Davis made a speech, in which he de
clared that the annual finance reports To
Congress substantially agree up to and in
Guiding the year 1869, and from 49, to the
present, a. to the public debt expenditures
and receipts Of the Government, but between
these years differ widely and that changes
and alterations made in the statements have
apparently increased the public debt and
expenditures more than 500 900 600. lie
quoted from reports heretofore submitted to
the Finance Committee by the Treasury
Department, when Mr. BrIstow was at the
head thereof, admitting that changes had
been made On account of u defective system
of book keeping, and argued that the inves-
tigation should be ordered to see why these
changes were made and to what extent.
Mr.. Morrill, referred to the report made n

that, unless this bill becomes a law, We will
come to the next Congress, and as with a
sponge, VIC will wipe out all your bonds. y"
This Bland is an ignorant, selfconceited,
poor creature, but he is at least to be com
mended for honesty in saying outright that
the silver dollar movement means repudis-
ton. He isn't so stupid as to pretend to
think it means anything else.

with general examination continuing two

were required to think for themselves aud
to become masters of whatever they under

were particularly noticeable in classes in

The programme for Friday evening con-
sisted of select readings by the ladies, and

1876 by Mr.. Sherman (then Senator from
Ohio and Chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee) and by Mr.. Herman, a member
of that committee, and argued that all allega-
tons by the Senator fromW est Virginia were
satisfactorily explained in that report lie
(Mr. MorrilD had not the slightest objection
to the fullest examination, but there was no
use of having large committee with several
clerks. A small committee could make the
investigation asked for Just as well as large
one.
Mr.. Thurman thought this matter had
never been clearly explained, and he hoped
the investigation now asked for would he
ordered.
Mr. Dawes, Mass denied that there had
been any alteration OF the books OF the Treas
urv Department, and argued that the whole
subject had been fully explained heretofore
After further discussion, Mr.. Morrill, SAID
he would not oppose the resolution OF the
Senator from West Virginia, provldlng he
would strike out the preamble charging
positively that alterations had been made
etc, and would limit the force TO he en-
ploycd by the committee to one stcnographcl
and one clerk.

SUPREME CoURr DECIsION-ApJoURNxEN
OF TIE CoURr-ln the case of William
Foster vs.. I. P Redfeld and others, which
was petition for a writ of mandamus to
compel the defendants. who were the judges
of Washington county court, to enter up
judgment in accordance with their decision
in divorce case in which Foster was de-
PENDANT. it appeared that the divorce case
was heard by the defendants, and the prayer
OF the petition denied during the term. At
the final call OF the docket the court erased
the entry, the prayer of the petition
denied, and entered the case continued.
This was done without any motion from the
losing party. and tho plaintiff contended
that the court could not continue a case
after hearing without a motion that it
was question OF such Importance IN this
case that the parties ought t. have been
heard upon it. But the Supreme Court dis
missed the case. and say that the County
Court have right to continue case after
hearing, upon its own motion, and without.
a motion from either party. Some of the
more important cases are left with tho court
for future action.
