WHAT UE FINDS IN IT, Special Dispatch ta The Trinna, Wasnixatoy, D, C., duly 8&—Some indus- triqus person has brought to licht a portion of the testimony taking by the Treasury Investi- Rating Committce of Senator Daris, of West Virginia, which the Democrats of the Senate refused to have published. It appears that the discovery upon which Senator Davis evidently haogs the moat of his sanguive expectations {6 the annual statements of the public debt mado by the Secretary of the ‘lreasury and those made by the Register, Mr. Dayls summoned as fis frat witness in the investigation Mr. Glennl W. Scofield, Revister of the Treasury. One single answer mado by hin eccems to express the whole matter viry clearly, Mr. Seoffeld eald: “Tho Register formerly made his report of the public debt by what Wey called issucs ana re- demptions, The BSceretary's was made from receipts and expenditures. The amount of bonds issued and the amount redeemed woutd be shown on the Register’s books. Deducting the amount redeemed from the amount issued would show * TNE AMOUNT OF THE PUnLIC DEBT in ope way. . Tho amount of moneys recoived on account of the public debt might differ from the amount of issucs of bonds,—I mean, might iffer at ony particular date, because the moneys would be recelved into the Treasury, aud a ro- Port mado on the day would show so much re- celpta of moneys, but the bonds micht not be issued for scferal days after, A roport made on the basis of recelpts, therefore, would differ .from o report mado on the basis of =the issues, and so with expenditures on behalf of redemptions. If o hundred million of the 4 per cents had been subscribed aud paid foron the last day of the fiscal year, the bonds would not have been fasucd. until the 1st of duly, the beginning of another fiscal year. Ry the Treasuror's books, the pub- Me debt would appear to be increased by thut amount, but the Increase would notshow onthe fasue-books of the Register UNTIL THE FOLLOWING YEAR. So if the Treasurer had redeemed thut amount on that day, bis report would show that reduc tion of the public debt, but the redeemed bonda sroutd not appear on the Register's Books until tho first of the following fiscal sear. Notwithstanding this full explanation, Mr. Davis,was not coutent, and he has cuused a table to be preparcd showing the increase or decrense, ag ahown by comparison of the Regls- ter’s statements with those of the Secretary for each year, from 1833 to 1870, fgnoring the fact that cack discropancy fs taken up IN THY NEXT ANNUAL REPORT. Mr. Davia foots up the iucreaso column for the whole acrivs of years, and from the total eub- tracts the tota! of the decrease column, icaying a differcnee or Increase in the Secretary’a state- ment as compared with the Register’s state- ment amounting to $217,767,811, Senator Beck xecins to have been traubled by theerasurcs said to oxist In the ‘Treusurer’s books. Among the testimony fs found one tavio of crasures wud changes inade from memorauda inken by. Mr. Woodville, the expert of the Com- mittee, in bis examination of the register of publle department warrants from July 1, 1863, to Dee, 41, 1809, The total oumber of erasures and changes In tive years upon this register is LFS THAN ON HUNDRED, Inquiry made at the Dopartment in regard to them ‘develops the fuct that this register is the equivalent of the blotter in a counting-house. Warrants, when first iskted, aro entered pon it, after which they are subjected to several ex- aninations by diflierent auditing officials, aml if any error is discovered, aud the warrant falls to pass, it returns to the place of its origlu, and the entry is either canveled or corrected. JUSTICH, NOW THY DEMOCHATA NAVE MAMPRNED THAT DEPARTMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT. Bpectat Maputeh to The Tribune, Wasmunuton, D.C., Jitly 8—A difference of opinion, the outcome of which fs likely to have an important bearlnz upon the work of collect: ing the Internal revenue, has developed itself between Commissioner Raut amd Firet-Comp- troller Porter, with regard ta the interpreta- ton of one sentence contained fn. the Jadiclal Appropriation vil, ‘fhe matter formed the subject of an extended conference between the tio officlals nated and the. Attorney-Goneral this afternoon, Former bitla making appro- priations for the Department of Justice have contained =a provision —upproprint- ing o specitied sum “for the trausporta- tlon of prisoners to their place of contlne- ment"; but in the BIL now undergoing interpretation the latter part of this soutence Is omitted, and the appropriation is made simply “for the transportatlon of prisoners,” en, Taum holds that this should be construed so a8 to cover ALL THE EXPENSES of the transportation antl caro of prisoners from tho time of their orrest, durlug trlal, aid untll they are finally disposed of by the Marshals, und should bis opliuon prevail the most {m- portant and expensive portion of the work of the United States Marshals for tho Internal Revenue Bureau would Le provided for as far as the appropriation could bs made to go. For the remainder a deficiewey would be created, tor whlch the Department of Justica could with uuquestioned propriety abt Congress to provide next fall, Judge Porter, on tho other hand, is {inclined to the opinion that Congress merely intended to muke the usual specific proviston for the trans- portation of condemned prisenors trom the place of thele trial : TO TUMIR PLACE OF CONFINEMENT, the amount aporopriated not belng in excess of ¢ duties of the Comnisstou. that usually named for this purpose, and ootng entirely Inadequate for the more extended scry- ico which the Commisstoner secke to secure. Commissfoner Raum {s somewhat apprehen- sive of serious diffleulty if the opinion of Judge Porter is adhored to, as in caso of extended operations in filleit distiliny, such os have oc- curred every season fora number of years, the Marshals would require sums much larger than most of them could borruw upon their in- dividual responsibility, when the chances of Judgment depend to so great an extent unon the whims of a Democratic Congress, the most. influential portion of which Is inesmpathy with the class agatnst whom the Marshals are expect- ed to operate, All aitlen of the question wero canvassed by the three officials this alternoun, but no definite conclusion was reached. ——— NOTES AND NEWS. SHORT OF FUNDS. Rreetat Dupatch to The Tribune, Wassttnaton, 1). U., July 8&—The employes of the Post-Oillce Department were seriously de- layerdlata mosteritical period of thefranoual work by the exhaustion of the meagre appropriation made last year for gas, and during the catire month of June, the Inst month of the fseal yenr, they were unable to work at night, os a mnajority of}them would otherwise have done, to close up theirannaal accounts. {[itherto the laws have been such that the deficit fn any specific approoriation of this kind could be met by diverting any surplus which micht be Icft from other appropriations for kindred objects, but the last Congress made such diversion un- lawful, During the month of June a number Of the clerks furnished thefr own Jamps.. BREtDING DiszAsK. | The health of Washington, fs in danger from eewoge lodged along its river front. This is ow- Ing to the gross neglect of Congress at the last session to give the necessary authority to remedy the evil, Urgent attempts were made to secure this, but the Democrats were too busy wiping out War-legislation. There are deposits of gar- bace, night-soil, and poisonous matter of nll sorts in the vicinity of the Long Bridge, which is swept back along the entire river front with wach tide, Passengers crossing the Long Bridge in the tratus now are compelled to close the windows to prevent being aickened, and there {s already an epidemle among the ebildren of South Washington. An attempt wns made Inst year to cure the evil by disin- fectants, but it was only partially successful, Nothing can be dore until some better system of relieving the city of fits sewage 1s devlucd. Meanwhile the Capital is constantly exposed to disease from this source. nous REPORTS. ‘The reports which Democratic newspapers aro industriously circulating, to the eect that the Civil-Service order of the President is to be dis-, regardcd, areuntruthful. There is no doubt that some minelfne poriticlens have becn secking late- ly to secure Federal appointments on the basis of some trades, nnd to have certoin Democrats removed and Republicans appointed in their stead: but {t can be stated upon the authority of the President that he has no intention of abandoning or even modifying the Civtl-Service order. The President said if he made anv chance in the order whaterer, he ahould simply make !t strong and more fnbibitory than ft now is or was intended to bo.
