II will be recollected that Mr.. Rush (Secretary
of the Treasury and Mr.. M'Lane Chairman OF
the Congressional Committee OF Ways and Mcans)
differed in their statements OF the amount appilca
Bile to the redemption of the public debt IN 1870
and 1927. The discrepancy was So,o4S, i9o-a
sum so enormous that it seemed to shake the Iaith
of the public in all financial calculations. The
enemies of Mr.. Rush made it a matter OF great
triumph relying upon the reputation OF Mr.. NJ
Lane, they took it for granted that the Secretary
was in error.


Mr.. Rush submitted in utter silence to their
injurious and unfounded imputations At last
however, the error is discovered to be in the report
of the Committee; and Mr.. M'Lane is forced to
acknowledge it. And then he complains that the
Secretary g exhibited too much sensitvcness when
expositions Of the state of the Treasury are made
This nsinuation, and the talk about the "tiourlsh
Of trumpets," may, may not, for any thing we
know, apply to those who successfully yncicated
the correctness of the Secretary's report; but to
apply such remarks to himself, when it was known
that he had in every way forborne to vindca,e
himself when he could have done it SO easily and
so trumphantly-is not exactly what might have
been expected from Mr.. MLane.


The notorious Fledericksburgh conventions, and
other members of the jackson Combination,' =
have attempted to raise an alarm about the state
of the Treasury. We see daily so many speci-
mems Of candor and fair dealing from the same
quarter, that we shall make no extra remarks
about that piece of imposition, but shall proceed
to state what the condition of the Treasury is, and
what it has been for the last eight years.
