Inc Government Indebted to Him to Large
Amount.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-lt has just been
discovered at the Treasury Department
that instead Of General John c. Fremont
being indebted to the United States in the
sum of S1700. the shoe is on the other foot :;
the Government owes the pathfinder"
$780, For many years the General has
been much worried because the Third
Auditors books made him such an extensive
debtor, and when the bill retiring him as
Major-General was signed by the President,
the old warrior called at the Treasury De-
partment to ask that his pay be not entirely
held out or he would be in actual want.
This brought on cursory Investigation,
when II was shown that a careless book
keeper had blundored. The General was
SO much affected by the good news that he
tainted. His pay win be untouched, and
when Congress is ready it will probably ap-
propriate the necessary $500.
