U, S. TREASURY BOOKS.

The Books of the' Treasury Departmeat in Bad Condition. Erainr, Alteration anil Entire Page Cut OQtof Journals, Ledgers and Other Books. New York Sun.j Washisc.tox, April 10. After more than two years of constant labor by two experts, In examining the books of the Treasury, under the resolution of Mr. Davis, of West Vir ginia, a condition of facts is found which claims tbe most serious attention. The Register of the Treasury is the book keeper of the Government. All the publio accounts finally go to ni.- office. Until tbe advent of Grantism, the official statements of the National debt were made exclusively by the Register, for the good reason that he alone had the evidence by which they could biverifisd. In 1S70 Mr. Boutwell radically changed this established system, and took upon himself the function of issuiDgthe debt statements monthly. When the report of the Secretary and that of the Register for that fiscal year (1309 70) were published, the former showed an increase in the debt of $240,000,000 over the latter for the ten years fr jm 1801 to 1870, inclusive. It was alleged by Mr. Doutwell, Mr. Sherman and other?, in tbe debate on this subject that this Immerse discrepancy resulted from the new mc Je of sUting the debt. To make the two official statements Agree, Mr. Boutwell ut ued an order, in 1870, requiring the Register to adopt his figures, though the public books did notjastify the change. He had gone back to and reconstructed the debt upon a new basis of his own, which covered the huge discrepancy, and many other shortcoming of which little is yet known. To do this effectively, he wns obliged to force a balance by adding $J.2ü3 827 76 to the public debt, authority for which can not be f jund on the books of the Treasury! The items were absolutely invented. Any proper examination of the public debt, and the receipts and expenditures between 1SG0 and 1S70, would require, according to the testimony of the experts, tour or mere clerks for five years to do the work thoroughly. Yet it appears from the report of the Committee that Mr. Boutwell employed a raw clerc for that service during rive months, and his figures constituted the whole foundation of tbe change which uprooted the well regulated practice begun under Hamilton, and fallowed by all the Secretaries of the Treasury down to Boutwell. When it is known that bond?, bank notes, legal tender notes, internal revenue stamps, and other issues are delivered by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to the Loan Division, tbe Treasurer, the Comptroller, and so on. wi'hout any sufficient checks to protect the Government against fraud, counterfeiting and robbery, there well may be misgivings as to the operations of the Treasury. All bonds that pass through the Register's office, originally or by transfer, are recorded. But they might easily be issued under the present method by collusion and go out without record, because there is no safeguard worthy of the name. The integrity of a single clerk is the only protection to the public. Tnat is to say, in the absance of an effective check be has it in his power to issue a bond for $10,000 for only $1,000 paid in. No return can be found for the accrued interest on the bonds 6old, which is believed to cover many millions. And the running account cf interest on the public debt differs htni of millions between the different offices, as the statements of tbe cash balances do, when respectively made by the Secretary, the Treasurer, the Register, and Comptroller, who are commonlv accepted &3 checks upon each ether. This is also the case in the accounts of receipts and expenditures. The journals, ledg9is and other books of the Treasury abound in erasures and altera tiens of mateiial figures, affecting hundreds of millions of dollars. Whole pages are cut out of several of them. Mr. 8!oaghton called the Returcicg Board rascalities "clerical errors." The champions of Boutwell, Richardson and Shetman have foucd that phrse convenient to cover transactions which ought to send somebody to the penitentiary. " t All tnete contradictory statements, forced balances, mutilations of records, false exhibits, and this singular change in the monner of making up the publio debt account, to include the eventful period between 18G1 and 1S70, when everything was at loose ends, were not the result of accident, nor the work cf careless clerks. There was another and a larger motive behind, touching the Republican party, its management cf tbe Treasury, and ihe integiiry of leaders standing well before the country. This committee hascnly scratched the surface. t II. "WHAT SOS FRED SAY3. Third Term for Salvation's Sake Grant Personally Electioneering In Illinois. Special to tue Cincinnati Commercial. Chicago, April 29. The point of a remarkable conversation between Colonel Fred Grant and one of th most distinguished Republican leaders of Illinois has juit come to light. Colonel Fred upbraided the veteran for not being actively at work for General Grant. During the conversation he said : "My father says there may come a time in the history of the Republic when it may be to the vital interest of the people or this country to nominate a President for a third term, and when precedents sat by Washing ton and Jefferson would stand in the way of the common welfare. It therefore becomes important to get that obstruction to the safety of the Republic out of the way. My father says he is in a position to make that trial and win that victory against a public superstition of a dangerous precedent" This speech of young Grant took the die tinguished citizen aback. It was evident that the young man had been impressed with the divine mission of his father, and it is probable that the gentleman would not have deemed it advisable to make his utterances about the views cf General Grant public Bat fortunately there was a witness who takes tbe public into confidence through the Commercial. The name of the prominent leader is withheld only because of his i mocence of tbis publication. But it can be f irnished, and he will cot deny the truthx ulceca of the above report. General Grant recently said to an intimate personal friend, understood to be E. B Washburne, that he was absolutely sure of the nomination at Chicago. lie, bowerer, expressed considerable feeling because an effort was making to gat his own State away from him. He felt that he ought to be allowed tbe sweet boon of a solid Illinois in the National Convention. This opposition to hia wishes on the Subject is undoubtedly responsible for the ex traordinary eptctecls now presented, f jr to first time in the history of thia Nation, of a distinguished citizen, who has been commander-in-chief of the armies of the country, who has twice been ita President, goto? about from County to County seeking by his presence to influence, and by his action to control tbe primaries for his own Advantage in the National Nominating Convention It is to the credit of soma of these Counties that his well-timed visits have resulted d's aatrouaiy to him. This is notably the case it McLean County, where hia friends were absolutely certain of carrying the Convention solid lg iua j a ilu. UU a4rCw

It is a little more than thirteen years since the following letter was written: Treasury Dip rtvist of Pennsylvania, Harkisbcrg, March 20, J7. To Titian J.Coffey, Esq , Washington, D. C: My Dear Titian Allow me to introduce to you my particular friend, Mr. George O. Evans, lie has a claim of some magnitude that ke wishes you to help him in. Put Mm through an you would me. lie understands addition, division, and silence. W. II. Kemble. In half a dozen words tbe writer of this letter laid down the principle which was then the guiding rule of his career, and has continued as such ever Blnce. A court of justice has convicted William II. Kemble of practicing at Harrisburg the criminal methods that are summed up in his own phrase, addition, division and silence. On Monday last an upright Judge sentenced the convict to solitary confinement at hard labor in the Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. Kemble'i term of imprisonment is one year; tbe sentence carries with It disqualification for life for holding any office of honor, profit or trust in the Commonwealth. This is a revere but just sentence. Tbe Eastern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania is, we believe, the only penitentiary in the United States where the separate eystem is still maintained. The most hardened convicts, tb oldest jail birds, dread being sent there. It was inevitable that this fate should come, sooner or later, to tbe man who Bhameleraly avowed his profession of plundering, and openly practiced it. The Bine and the Gray. I From a Washington Dispatch. There was a alight sensation in tbe House when General Joe Johnston i c ported and had read a bill authorizing the Secretary of tbe Treasury to transfer to the Fairmount Tark Art Association thirty condemned cannon, to be used in the erection of a monument to General George Gordon Meade, commander of the Union forces on the Potomac toward the close of the rebellion. It will be remembered that General Johnston engaged General Meade in several battles. General Johnston, when he reported the bill, was surrounded by his ex-Confederate comrsder, but when he asked nnanimous consent thai the bill should pass at ones, there was not a single objection, and in le si tbu a ten minutes, by the voice and votes of ex-Confederates, this tribute was paid to the dead Union soldier. General Johnston seemed well-pleased with what he bad accomplished, and walked around among the members smiliDg and receiving their congratulations.

Though old Mr. Fogy hai long questioned woman's fitness to practice law and her opinions concerning legal matter, no one has ever questioned her opinion concerning Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For women freely affirm that the Prescription is a positive cure for those "dragging down" sensations and the many diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex. The Favorite Prescription is sold by all druggists under a positive guarantee. PiTTiBt-Rr. Pa . March 14, 1879. Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear S:r I was treated by four different physicians without avail for disease of the liver and uterus. Some time ego I commencadtheu9e of your Favorite Prescription and Discovery, being at the time confined part of the time to my bed. AtGrst my improvement was slow, but I now find myself well after the use of four Dottles of each of the medicines. With many, many thanks, I am, very respectfully, MAIIY K. GRACE. "Why do girls 'elope?" is the very Interesting query put by a contemporary. Well, there are various reasons, the principal omi bstng that the girls are displeased with the wav their mothers do housework, and some girls have an idea that they can support hur banda And a good many cf them have to do it, too. "ANAKESIS" I an Infallible Cure far File. Mr. William J. Andrews, of Columbia, Tenn., writes the following: Messrs rieustaedter .t Ca, xsew York: Gests For upward of twenty years I have been a 111 ic ted with the piles. When I first took them thsy were blind and very painful. For about ten years they continued as blind, then commenced bleeding. The hemorrhoids continued to increase until I was losing at every stool fully a gill of blood, and frequently, while standing at my desk, tbe blood would run down into my boot?. I have had these hemorrhoids to last for several hours. In the meantime, like a drowning man, I was grasping at everything, trying to find relief. On one occasion I had them cauterizad, which, after intense suffering; tor over a month, effected temporary relief, for a short time only, however. About ten months since, while at s:ool, my eye fell on an advertisement headed in large letters, "Piles; Bend two cent ramp and get circular." I did so, and received a few "Plain, Blunt racts ' in reply, after reading which I concluded it was such plain common sense that I would give "Acakesia" a trial. I did so, and tne result was that after a few days' use the bleeding ceased, and I have not suffered a moment's pain since. It is said that "a fellow feellog makes one wondrous kind." So, knowing quite a number of friends who were suffering like raj - self, I distributed quite a number of them, and from every one received a favorable report I would not be without "Anakesis" for a hundred times its cost. To all who are afflicted with piles I would say, "Give Ana kesis a trial and yon will no longer be a sufferer." W. J. Andrews. "Anakeais" is sold by all first-class druggists. Price $ I per box.
