While an inviting fleld for trade from and with the United States is here opened, only about 18 per cent of it 1s secured. No American agricultural machines or implements are known in that country. Twelve American vessels only entered the port of Sierra Leone in 1879. This seems hardly a creditable exhibit of American enterprise. The population of Sierra Leone is about 40,000, A good degree of civilization ex- ists, and schools and churches are numerous and efficient. In REPLY TO A RESOLUTION of the House call- ing upon the Treasury for an explanation of the cause of delay in paying the bounty and back. pay due the soldiers and why the Secretary per- tilts these claims to remain unpaid from stx to twelve months before asking Congress for an #ppropriation to pay them, Secretary Sherman to-day sent a reply, in which he séts forth in detail the appropriations heretofore made to pay these claims, and adds that, under the law requiring unexpended balances to be covered back into the Treasury, he had such balances oF these funds so covered b: nd 15; yack in ‘The Secretary shows that his department strict- ly adbered to the law, where {t might have Stopped, but, anticipating complaints trom the Clalinants, the Second Auditor of the Treasury, under instructions, reported to the Secretary of War, as the proper officer having jurisdiction ot the matter, estimates of the amounts required .o pay these claims. In 1878, 1879 and Isso the estimates so reported amounted to over $910,000, and they were duly transmitted to the Senate avd House and referred to the proper commit- tees, but Congress has uot taken any action upon them. —— ‘THE FUNERAL OF GEN.

SECRETARY SHERMAN IN REPLY TO THE SENATZ FINANCE COMMITTEE. Secretary Sherman has sent to Mr. Bayard, chairman of the Senate finance committee, a communication in reply to the latter's letter of the 2th ult., transmitting Senate bill No 1,63% to define the amount and manner of purchases of the public loans to be made by the Secretary of the ury and requesting his views in re- gard thereto. The bill in question requires the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase the out- standing obligations of the United States, bear- ing interest at six cent per annura, to the amount of not less than $5,000,000 In each week until he shall have purchased and exttaguished all such outstanding obligations—these pur- chases to be made in addition to and ladepen- dent of any purchases of outstanding obliga tions of the United States made by the S: TY OM account of the sinking fund. The bill after made shall be Advertised in the pu press on Monday of each week, aud the p chase of the améunts thus advertised for suali be made by the Treasury on Wednesday of each week. In reply, the Secretary states that the amount of 6 per cent obligations now out standing is about $25,000,000, which, under the provisions of this act, the Treasury would be obliged to purchase within the next fifty weeks, and that the supply revenues would provide for the payment within the next fifty weeks of Jess than one-half of the bonds which this bill requires to be purchased. There would seem, he says, “to be no method of carrying out the provisions of the bill except by a resort to in- creased taxation; and the propriety of such an increase for this purpose must be determined by Congress.” In conclusion he says: “J know of no reason for making any purchases of bonds beyond the amount of the surplus revenurs, and tor this purpose, the Treasury has already sufii- clent authority, while the present method of making the purchases 1s probably as advan- ieecou fo the government as any that can be Society Notes. The Literary Society was handsomely enter- tained by its Vice President, Prof. Hofman, at his residence on Indiana aveaue, Saturday eve- ning. The formal features of the evening were a translation from Vietor Hugo and an original poem by Mrs. Cary Long, and an interesting paper on the Relations of Poetry and Art, by Mv. E. H. Miller. These were followed by an ele: gant repast and songs by Miss Mary Johuston and Mr. Hickcox, instrumental music and reci- tations, which held the company pleasantly .0- gether until the near approach of 12 o'clock compelled an adjournment. Among the invi- ted guests present were Attorney General | vens, Mrs. Justice Fieid and Miss Sw Miss Davenport and Miss Daw: Edward Clark and daughters; 'T. Merrick; and Judge and Mrs. MacArthur.

Senator McMillan was directed to prepare a substitute for the two Dilis, auth- orming tng District Commissioners to lease upon good ferms and for a term of years a por- ton of lot No. 446 for the erection and maintea- ance of a market house.
