this month, and as the Congressional appro-
priations took but little out OF the treasury gave

and ascertain what can be done, and then tele-
graph to the sub-TreaSury in New York the
amount of bonds to buy in even millions. 1t
Is simply the application of surplus rev.
enue TO the purchase OF the public debt.
The main point In our financial situation is that
the public debt is reduced at the rate Of $lO,-
0C0.000 a month. This indicates abOuuding
prosperity, but rather than this would like to
see the goods which are imported from abroad
made at home, and right here in Philadelphia

The District investigations.

OhAL TESTIMONY CLOSED.
The House committee on the District of Co
lumbia continued to-day the investigation Of
the charges made by Treasurer Giltillan against
the commissioners of the District. 1t was half
past eleven O'Clock before quorum Of the CON-
mittee put In an appearance
Judge Dent said that the Cooley certificate
was received for the pay ment of taxes and was
forwarded TO the Treasury; the power OF attor-
ney could not be found. The clerks of the Office
say that it was forwarded to Mr.. Riddle.
Mr.. Rlddle.-The power OF attorney on the
Cooley case was never received by me.
Major TW1n1ng took the stand and said the
commissioners desired to complete the record by

S1onerS made since the date OF the 1878 report:
also the correspondence between the L. S.

The Declaration of Independence.
IS TT To RE IOST9

EdttOf OF The Stdr:-The presentation to Con-
gress yesterday of the desk upon which Thomas
Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and the patriotic remarks made by Sena-
tors and Representatives on its acceptance,
leads me to call attention to what is infinitely
OF more importarce-the revered instrument
tseJ, which is bodily rapidly fading away, and
without something is soon done its very exist
ence VIII become tradition, and our great.
over G scu sing its mythical place In history aS
much as the c0njieTes of Mrs. Camp designed
the vefitable personality OF the veXatious and
Oft-referred to 'Mrs. Harris
There is perhaps q remedy to be found for
this frighttul thought in law drawn by the
writer of these lines approved by the President,
August B, 1876, to be found in vol. 10 Statutes
atLarge, p: PIG. and in the following words:
''Resotred, Dr.. de-, That a commission. con-
slstng OF the Secretary OF the Interior, the sec
retary Of the Smithsonian Institution and the
Librarian OF Congress, be empowered to have
resort TO such means as Will most ehectually
restore the writing of the original manuscript
OF the Declaration OF Independence with the
signatures appended thereto, now in the United
States Patent Office, and the expense attending
the same be betrayed out of the contingent fund
OF the Interior department."
Soon after the passage of this act the late
Professor Henry had an informal conversation
with the Secretary of the Interior as to the
means to be employed to carry out the design
of the law, and exactly there the whole matter
has been dropped and no effort whatever has
beeL made to preserve from the Favages OF time
the living evidence of this sacred birthright OF
every American and the towering beacon Of the
Oppressed OF all nations.
There is authority for stating that the British
Museum Is continually restoring old MS, and
certainly our scientific knowledge should not be
less than theirs. Be this as it may an earnest
effort to comply with the law is surely impera-
tive, and the attention Of those vested with this
authority is respectfully called to their duty in
the premises. SEMI-OCCAsIONAL

EXPLANATORY OF THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
The appropriations committee, In presenting
the District of Columbia appropriation bill, ac-
company it with the following report explana-
tory OF the bill: '"The estimates upon which the
bill is based amount to $3,435, $3.50 60. The
amount recommended Is $3,423, ,69,.35, half of
which is appropriated from the revenues of the
District OF Columbia and the other half out of
eny money in the treasury not otherwise apprC
pllated. This bill is, for the first time present
cd as separate appropriation bill. The appro
in the bill for surdry civil expenses. 1t has
been judged better to make the provisions for
the support OF the District aud for certain char
tiles under one bill, in order to present more
distinctly and conveniently the entire amount
of appropriations OF this nature. The bill does
not, however, cont9tn the entire appropriation
for the Government Hospital for the Insane but
only for about one-half of the patients therein
contained, being the proportion naturally
chargeable to the District for patients admitted
under sections 4s43, 4s44, 4S45 and 1916 Of the
Revised Statutes -
