Du Sommerard should bave drawn bis Information from a less par- tal source before accusing a le with an act®o vile. Once more my duty as a mem- ber of the French commission compels me to protest against the ineputations cast upon the American people by M. Du Sommerard.”” MINISTER WASH RURNE’S ACTION. HOW THE SCHEME WAS DISCOVERED. ‘It seems that a few days ago Kneass, chairman of thi = x tbe democracy intended to flood the city with bogus tax receipts, but that the it trouble was to procure peper with the water marks ‘Personal tax, 1876,” on it. Atlast the paper was obtained, and to-night, while the rank and file of the party were giving General McClellan @ reception, a a came out of Griswold’s alley, near th and Bainbridge streets, in the fourth ward, and was driven to the headquarters of the demo cratic state central committee, No. 1014 ‘Walout street.

Otber great results of this financial policy bave been that despite an indebtedness of more than two thousand million, aud while diminishing taxation, the credit of the country has been raised to the un- lented point that its {four and a if per cent. bonds which were issued in redemption of the 6 per cents. have been selling rapidly at home and abroad above par ingold, and the goverpment has been enabied every ince 1866 not only to keep witin ite income, but to apply an aver- age annual sum of #56 742.284 20 toward the ment of its indebtedness.
