SgxatorR Epwunps, of the committee that was charged with an investigation of Treasury affairs, bas reported that since 160 currency representing over eighteen and a quarter bil- lious dollars bas been printed by the depart- ment, and that only a few trivial mistakes have been made. in regard to the registered and coupon bonds, known as the five-twenties of 1762, third series, one $100 bond and one hun- red aud three of the $500 bonds are not ac- counted sfor. Of the bonds delivered ny the printing bureau to the Register or the Treasu- rer, and claimed by those officers respectively to have been banded over to a committee for distribution, or to have been destroyed, the committee says: “The direc’ ‘ence is entire- ly incomple.e to show the destruction of the bongs of this third series, not <suea, and stated im these tables fom the Register’s books to have been destroyed No documentary proof of the fact is to be found, further than that the destruction was directed. And the coming in of sundry duplicates conpons of this series produces in the minds of the cemmit'ee some solicitude on the whole subject of this sertes, although the whole redemption of coupons does Botexceed the amount issued: but in the case of this series the redemption of coapons comes sO near to the whole amount issued appearing on the Register’s books that the dupli-wion cannot be tully explained by the absence of the coupons entirely from some numbers. A tabla is given of the two-year five per cent. treasnry notes issued under the act of Marct, 1863, without coupons. Large discrepaucies exists, but the committee say that, considering the fact that this issae bas been long overdue, the probability is very strong that no fraud’ has been perpetrated on the Government whatever. The cowmtttee flud= only a tew fraudalen: coupons iu existence.” THE GovERNMENT oF THE DistTRIcT.—A resolution was adupted by the Senate to-day ordering the printing of 1,000 extra copies of the memorial of citizens of the District of Co- lumbia, praying the organization of a single local government for the District of Columbia.
