THE TREASURY CALLS IN S23, 660, 800 OF THE TEN
FORTIEs-yARIOUs ANNOUNCEMESTs-THE LON
DON QUOTATIONS OF FOUR PER CENTS.
lGESERAL PRESS DIsPATCHI
WASHINGTON, April 21.-Secretary Sherman to-
day gave notice that all bonds included in the
eighty-ffth and prior calls will be applied, with
interest to maturity of the CALL in the settlement
of the loan account of the National depositary
banks. Heretofore the same privilege was allowed
in respect to the bonds Of the eighty-third and
former calls. The notice to-day extends the priv
ileQe to the eighty-fourth and eighty-fifth calls
amounting to $40,O0O,000 This is done to facil
iae the settlement of the four per cent loan account
with the National bank depostaries.
This afternoon the Secretary issued the ninety
ninth call for the redemption Of bonds The call is
for S23, 500, 300 of ten-forty bonds of 1864. The
principal and interest will be paid at the Treasury
on and after the 21st day of July next and the in
terest will cease on that day. The following is a
description of the bonds;
Registered bonds-S5O No. .45l to No. 1873 both In
elusive; 500 No 1llOl TO No 11732 both incusiye
$500, No7 to No 492. both inclusive y 900 No
2g30l to No. 3OG1s. both inclusive 50 900 No 10O31
10 80. 1O,s53, bOth inclusive; $4,000 No 2470l to
No 27,57O, both inclusive.
The bonds outstanding and represented by the
aforementioned numbers constitute the residue of
those issued under the Act OF March 3, 18Th
"ten-fOTty bonds"
bonds embraced IN he ghty-fourhan eighty-ifth
calls paying interest to the date Of redemption or it
will redeem at once bonds included in SAID calls with
interest to the date Of maturity, and apply the pro-
ceed5 to the payment of any subscriptions for the
four per cent cOnsOls.
The explanation Of the apparent difference be-
tween the London and New-York quotations Of
bonds is that in London all American securities are
quoted on an assumed value of the pound sterling
of five dollars, instead Of the actual value Of
81 sGG, or, more definitely speaking, Its CONNER
cial value determined by the rate OF exchange.
Thus, on Saturday in London four per cent cOnsols
were quoted at 1921, IN New-lork at ZOOS; but
before comparing the III ICES between the two cities
NcW-York prices should DC increased in the ratio OF
81 SSl2 TO 50, the former being the exchange value
Of pound sterling, the latter the assumed value on
which the London quotation is based. Multiplying
the New-York quotation by and dividing by
4SSl2 and there results 1O34-the London
MISUNDERSTANDING that in fact the bonds were Of
equal value Iii both cities.

A QUIET ELECTION IN TAMMANY.
THE KELLY TICKET ELECTED BY AN ovERWHELM
ING MAJORITY.


ING MAJORITY.
The annual election of Iammany Society Sachems,
which occurred last evening at TammanY Hall,
was the largest in attendance and probably the
largest in the matter of vote which the society has
ever seen For several hours before the members OF
the society met a crowd of rutlians had gathered
before tho building. There was no good reason
why they should have gathered, and it was Impos-
sible to say which faction was in the majorty-on
the outside of the hall.
But it was early discovered that to the inside OF
the building, to which only recognized members or
the society were admitted, only the adherents OF
1ammany had dared or cared to penetrate. 1t is
custom of Tammany Hall that all persons desiring
to vote at the annual election of sachems shall pay
81 for the privilege This is intended to exclude
all Ant-Tamnany men, who, being out of Office
are popularity supposed to be without the requisite
dollar. Tammany had all its adherents present.
and the majority of those in ATTENDANCE were pro-
vided with means to buy ticket. The Antl-Iam-
many men, not being fully nducted into office, did
not make a formid .ble displayin fact their ticket
was not distributed and circulated and advocated
as their declarations for some weeks past induced
the credulous and sanguine public Of their way OF
thinking to anticipate. The two tickets (both regu-
lar) submitted for the consideration and votes lat

INTERESTING ITEMS PROM REPORT on THE
EXPENsEs OF AN INDIAN TERRITORY INYEsrIGA-

IION.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TEIBUNT1
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The report Of the Secre-
tary OF the United States Senate, recently issued,
throws some light on the financial operations Of the
famous Indian Territory investigation, conducted
by the Senate Committee on Territories, of which
Mr J, j. Patterson was chairman. Al the time the
report of the committee published 1t was freely
asserted in Washington that the chairman had been
guilty of grave irregularities in approving certain
vouchers Some OF these accusations appear to be
substantiated by this financial report.
The committee began the investigation in Wash
ipgton March %, 1878. and continued it until
June II, taking about 400 pages Of testimony,
The Investigation was resumed November 10 IN the
Indian Territory by a subcommittee consisting Of
Senator'S Patterson and Grover. The taking of tes-
timony was completed November 20, 1875, at Fort
Scott, Kansas. The expenses Of this investigation,
not including the printing OF the report and testi-
mony which made a volume OF over LOO pages,
amounted to the pretty sum of $1,000 II. Some
Of the items included IN the above sum inter
esting. II. H. w. SeabrOOk was paid $512 80, and
A. c. Scott 1925 for copying and arranging laws,
treaties testimony and arguments for the commit
Zee at the rate Of S75 each per month. These two
Ladies' il Is asserted never did days work of this
kind FOR the committee. John Corwne for similar
services received Sl1O II. L. Mckee for arranging
and revising testimony and making index (which
fills five pages received $3.50. Besides these alleged
employees the committee mad the services OF clerk
and two stenOgraphers, who did all the necessary
clerical work Of the committee, copying and reVls-
ing testimony, etc. 1t is rather absurd for even
Senator Patterson to clam that 1t was necessary 10
