GOVERNMENT FUNDS.
The Treasurer of the United States 40
counts for the Money I'm His Care.

In the annul report of the treasurer of the
United States, which has been submitted, a
comparative statement of the condition of
the treasury for the past three years is given
showing that the total resources, coin and
currency, were, on September 80, in 1876,
$16S, 024 472 80; in 1877, $243, 6S1, i'll 25; in
1878 1897 ,424 964.74 The coin resources
have steady increased from $67, $50, 7O5. %
on the above date in 1876, to 1888, So, 073. "a
in 1877, and to $23S ,007, 574 80 in 1873. The
retirement of legal tender notes under the
act of January ii, 1875, which provided that
so per cent OF national bank notes be re-
tired, has reached the amount for the 10
months ending April 80 1878, of l3 083, 3l6.
The total amount retired since the passage
of the act is $35, 31S, 1854. OF this amount
So 800 423 was in one dollar notes, and 81
17S,S7S in two dollar notes. By the act of
congress of May 81, 1875 forbiddlng the
further retirement of legal tender notes,
action under the former act ceased. The
amount of legal tenders outstanding at that
time amounted to 1916 6S1 ,0l6 at which
volume they remain. The act of congress of
February %, 1878, required the coinage of
silver dollars of the weight of 4l2H grains,
troy, of standard silver. The first coins
under this act were received at this office
from the mint in March, 1878, and were ex-
changed with the public for gold coin; the
amount so exchanged at the minis and at
this and other offices was 81 042, OF. The
total amount ofstandard silver dollars coined
under the above act to date Is SIS 2S2, 500 of
which amount there is in the minis and
offices $l3, 359 STI. and in circulation 81 922,-
623. Whenever it is permissible to ex.
change these coins for United States notes,
under the provision of law which author
ICES the payment Of transportation charges
thereon from the silver profit fund, they
can be distributed very rapidly. There is
demand for them in many portions of the
country where, from the locality, il is not
possible that they are desired for any other
purpose than for circulation In exchange for
paper currency. At present. however, they
are sent only TO deposltary banks and offices
of the treasury and are used in payment
for silver bullion and in payment 10 express
companies on account of their charges for
transportation of the coin. The largest
payments of silver dollars have been made
at New York and San Francisco, but the
coins issued at these points immediately
find their way back to the taeasury vaults,
either as receipts from customs, or as de
posts on account of silver certificates, or in
payment OF subscriptions to the per cent
loan.
The following table shows the amount
coined, on hand and outstanding at the close
of each month since the coinage commenced:

that made ones very head turn round. Poor
Eugene would have been torn to pieces on
the spot II the guard hadn't formed round
him and defended him; and the only way
we could pacify the mob was to promise
them Justice from the district magistrate; so
away to the magistrate we all went.
Now / dare say Mr.. Magistrate was
very good fellow in his way, and l don't
want to say anything against him, but still,
il must be owned that he wasn't exactly the
kind of man to stand firm in the midst of a
rabble of wild Mohammedans all bowling
and flourlshing their knives at once under
his very nose. To tell the plain truth he
was frightened out of his wits; and the only
thing he thought of was how to shift the re-
sponsibility on to somebody else's shoulders
as fast as possible. So he said land it was
very lucky he did, as 1t turned QUIT that La
tour, being in government employ, must be
tried by military law and he packed them
all off to the commandant who, as I've told
you, was no other than Colonel de Malet

kept shrleking at once, one louded than an

get pretty clear idea of what had happened;
and then he said, very solemnly, "A French
officer does his duty, let it be what it will.
You have come here for justice, and justice
you shall have
There was a great roar of triumph from
the crowd, and poor Eugene looked as blank
as thief in the Sale de la Police.

sued De Malet, Il wish to ask this young

of which had often baffied medical skill, but
which was solved over quarter of century

sued is $S,575, $50, of which there is but

of fractional silver coin for fractional cur

that time there has been issued of fractional
silver coin $50, rs, 166, and though the COIN

that from the system and a sure cure is the
