There has been a fair demand for discount, and as the
exchanges are
less favorable, doubts are entertained as to the
policy of a further re¬
duction in the rate to morrow. In the open market, the
quotation is
about one-quarter per cent below that of the Bank, but as the bills ma¬

turing on the 4th of the month will have to be met this week, the re¬

not equal to former occasions.

with reference to its harmony with the teaching of God in Nature
and in Revelation. It is defined to be “ the guiding, or leading of
the young mind in the way which will best enable it to obey the

Washington, March 10, 1866. 1

Dear Sir : Your letter of
yesterday is received. My letter of the 24th ult.,
in answer to yours of the same
date, was so altered before it was published as
not to indicate to whom it
was
addressed, and had no other object, and I think
had no other effect, than to*
simply express my objection to yonr loan bill. I
did not see any
impropriety in my giving publicity to my dissent
from your
views of public financial
policy.
In accepting the office I
hold, I did not surrender my independence of
judg¬
ment, nor my freedom of action. I have made no
concealment from you, or
any one else, of my views in regard to the hill
from the time it was first pro¬
posed by you.
After the lapse of twelve
days, you notice my letter to yon of the 24th of
February, and quote my statement therein, that
I suppose there must he, at
that time,
deposits in the National Banks, at least $150,000,000 in the
Treasury of the United States. To this you now
reply that the actual amount
of money, on the
24th, in the Treasurv and in national depositories to the credit
of the
government, exclusive of special gold
deposits, was $111,149,682 29. I
cannot see any valid reason for
yonr making a distinction between
gold deposits
and deposits made in
currency. Both alike are stated in your monthly reports
as liabilities and
assets, and you have the right by law to use a portion of the

why you should not add your

your statement of the first day of this month, was $12,627,600.
This, added to
the amount that you state was in the
Treasury, &c., Feb. 24th, will make $123,777,632 29. Giving you the benefit, as T have, of gold deposits swelling the ag¬
gregate of money on hand, I now unhesitatingly state that your statement just
made to me, as well as your published statement
showing the condition of the
Treasury and the public debt on the first of this month, is inexcusably errone¬

merely a matter of interest to the public, it is of grand consequence that Con¬

require $112,000,000 more than your current receipts to carry you through the
remainder of the present fiscal year. I regret to differ with you so widely as I
do in regard to this estimate. I am of the opinion that with an economical ad¬
ministration of your resources, you will have a surplus on hand at the close of
the fiscal year ending June 30. 1866, of nearly, or fully $200,000,000. instead of

from the

to the above letter we have the

following which we take
proceedings of the House of Representatives on Thursday:

answer

Mr. Hulburd addressed the House. He referred, on the opening of his re¬
marks, to a letter from the Comptroller of the Currency to the Secretary of the
Treasury, dated March 10, showing serious errors in the report of the Secretary
as to the money on hand on the 1st of March.
The to al amount returned by
the Secretary was $106,018,959. The amount which the Comptroller claims as
being in the custody of the Secretary on the 1st of March was $166,768,944, mak¬
ing a discrepancy between the two statements of over fifty millions.
Mr. Hulburd deeired to have from the Chairman of the Committee on Banking
and Currency an explanation of this discrepancy.
Mr. Hooper (Mass.,) in the absence of the Chairman of the Committee, rose
and gave tne explanation asked. The Secretary of the Treasury had represented
the amount of coin in the Treasury, on the 1st of March, as $5$,000,000, and of
currency, $60,000,000, making a total of $115,000,000. The letter to which the
gentleman from Now York referred stated that that was inexcusably erroneous,
and that the Secretary had omitted to include the amouut. deposited in national

banks, and other items, amounting together to more t han $50,000,000. The Com¬
mittee of Ways and Means having seen that letter, had appointed a sub-com¬
mittee to ascertain whether there was any foundation for the statement; that
the sub-committee had learned that the amount of money iu tbeNational Banks
had been included in the Secretary's calculation, and had made a part, of the
$115,000,000 reported bv the Secretary. Therefore, the Comptroller in adding
that sum of $28.000.000*in the National Banks wns mistaken, as that sum had
already been included. The Comptroller had further stated that there was an
amount of United States notes that had been retired, but which the Secretary
should not have retired, but the fact was that they were retired. He would not
now go into the question whether the Secretary lmd theauihority to retire them.
It had been done and, therefore, that amount was not in the Treasury. The
Comptroller had then added a sum of $1,300,000 for the difference between the
amount of Seven-thirties purchashed and of Five-twenty bonds sold, saying that
that money should be in the Treasury, also because the Secretary had no au¬
thority to make that disposition of the bonds, but the fact was that that dispo¬
sition had been made, and therefore that amount was not in the Treasury. The

.Comptroller had then added $15,000,000 for the value of gold beyond

currency;

that is, if the Secretary undertook to sell his gold he would get for premiums on
it $15,000,000. The fact was that the coin had not been sold, and therefore the
amount of premium could not be iu the Treasury; there was therefore no reason

that the monthly statement of the Secretary was not entirely accu¬
result of the investigation made by the sub-committee was that

But this imperfect list represents a commerce of more than $10,000,000
in value, while the trade on the opening gf the canal in 1855 was

The Gold Market.—On Monday
gold took an upward
bound to 132, partially as 1die result of
large transactions,
supposed to be intended to sfecngthen the stock market, and

partially from purchases to covfer the sales of “ short ” oper¬
ators who had failed
upon their contracts.
The price, how¬
ever, subsequently declined 1£, and has since fluctuated be¬
tween 129-J- and 130£, with considerable
speculative act¬
ivity.
The

prevailing tone of the market favors an upward move¬
ment, it being supposed that before the May
Five-twenty
coupons fall due there will be a scarcity of gold; for it is
understood to be the policy of the
Treasury not to sell gold
at the present low
premium.

the

The

temper of the business community has been thoroughly spoiled
by the late decline and considerable fluctuations in gold, and the severe
disappointments to trade which March has brought. It is very difficult
to sell
anything at a profit. It is almost universally true that a con¬
cession of 10 per cent would be
necessary if sales were pressed. Holders
are
looking to Congress for some measure of relief in stopping the de¬
cline in gold; and
upon recent action there is less disposition to give
way further on imported goods ; but in domestic produce the desire
to realize is shown in
every way short of absolute panic.
Cotton is an example of the feverish tone of trade.
Nearly every
day the past week it has varied one or two cents per pound. Breadstuffs will well illustrate

the

desire to realize.

With very

reduced
wheat, and no prospect of an immediate in¬
supplies, prices have been barely supported, and the close is

The decline in Pork has been
partially stayed through the influence of
orders, although Mess Pork can have no relations with the British mar¬
ket, unless, in case of a Fenian war, there should be an
army demand*
Beef, Butter and Cheese have been firm,—the former

being taken

mo¬

derately for export. The country can spare but a very moderate
quantity of provisions for export. The stocks of hog products are just
now at their
highest figures ; but there is no great accumulation

Season.—The

Pork Packing at Cincinnati—Review of the Past
whole number of houses engaged in curing pork this season,

was

forty -

reported by those houses is 354,079,
which is about 25,000 less than the total receipts reported up to the
middle of February, so that over this number must have been consumed
in the city or put up for family use.
The average weight is 238 18*31
lbs. per hog, and the yjeld of leaf and trimming lard 32 13-25 lbs. per
hog. Of the whole number of hogs reported, about 10,000 head were
rendered into lard, in the fore part of the season, excepting the shoulders
and hams; and in making up the yield of lard, that thus made is ex¬
cluded, in order to get at the correct yield of lard per hog, of what ifl
known to the trade as leaf lard. The yield of head and gut lard has
been large, the percentage of increase being greater than that of leaf.
