Wasuixcton, Jan. 10. — Secretary O.ige to lay scut t<) con^reis bid reply to tbo r .solution recently introduced in tiio senate by Mr. Alien of Nebraska find in tbo house by Mr. Sulzer of New York. The iext of bis reply, which is an ex- b iustive exposition of the niauasement of that branch of ihe treasury liuancoe u’idir bus administration relating to bank u< pbitches, contains about 9,000 words, which is supplemented by special reports by department cllicials relativo ,to gpectai tnquiriefi iu the resoiutiou, in- ciuding copies of over 1,000 letters on t:.o siir jeot under consideration. In summing up his reply to tbo iuqui- rio , toe secretary says: “1. That the reason for utilizing na tional banks as depositories for public moneys nuiiioiiz d by law when the re ceipts of the treasury were exceeding iis expenditures, lias boon to avoid the disuu i ance to business which the wtih- drawal of large sums of money from aciivo circulation to the treasury vaults i:m.t inevitably cause. The policy tnu: pursued i)y me has been the cstabiished policy of tbo government for many years and a dopartruo from it under uniilar couditions would certainly cause disastrous results.

Uuder j negro was staggering 1; ink itoiy was that it is more convenient to first collect the receipts of numerous offices into one place and to mako the desired distribution from it, than to give now instructions daily to 118 col lectors. Tha must convenient agency to effect kuch distribution is a bank which is a member of the New York clearing house. ••4. The reason for selecting the Na tional City bank as such distributing agency was timt at the time the order was issued, it was one of but two banks which had offered bonds sufficient to cover the amount of the daily deposit. Its bind deposit was $4,1)00,000 and that of tho Hanover National bank $1,- OfiO.OOO. The National City bank was, therefore, the one most naturally chosen. Of the OH banks applying for a share of the deposits, tho National City bank, tiio Hanover National bank and three others, applicants for over $s00,000 each, arc the only ones out of the 08 consti tuting group one, which have now been suppl ed the full amount for which they had offered security. Sail! of Customhouse Property. “ti. Tne customhouso property was sold hi the terms of tho sale it had tha option of paying in cash all of the purchase money at any time, or any part it might eh ct above $750,000, which sum it was absolutely obliged to pay. It exorcised I this option bv choosing to pay $2,215,- • 1)00, leaving $50,000 yet duo. “Tho payment received was turned into tne treasury by deposit in the Na tional City bank, it having been tho established custom of treasury officials, uuder ihe counsel of their legal ad visers, supported by decisions of tho su premo court, to consider moneys on do- po-it to tho credit of tho treasurer of tho Uuiied States in designated deposi tories, as moneys in the treasury. This deposit was made in a depository' bank for the same reason that other deposits have Lieu made in them, viz: “I’et-au-o io withdraw tha currency into tho vaults of the treasury, where it was not needed and could not tie util ized, would have required a withdrawal of credit that was being extended iu commercial circles and to that extent a disturbance to tho natural order of business would have followed. Tohavo required its payments by the National City bank to another designed depos itory would have been an ungracious discrimination without substantially changing the fact. "Finally, under my administration of tho treasury department no discrimina tion in favor of one bank against an other inis been made. Generally speak ing, when an increase in depository banks was desired all have Le.-n invited to quality themselves for receiving such money and have been equally and equitably considered in their respective relations to the treasury.” $-uaU**s Tnbuta- to lloti irt.

She produces more cotton than any three plates in the Uniori, for 3,000,080 biles is liar normal cron. Tha crop of 1889 will, in his opinion, be redudod to 2,- 000,000 bales. To era ure sc. enii reasons for tins. The iir.'.t is diversification, which has reduc ’d tho cotton acreage 8 per cent and is one of tho wi.-est things that could have been done, for tho farmer who fails lo make his farm self sustaining is on tho read to bankruptcy. Tho floods of tho Brazos caused a loss of at least 150,050 bales, and following that calamity an unprecedented drouth further reduced the yiefd. The resources of Texas are simply wonderful, said Mr. Johnson. She is indeed the empire state. Of 175,000,- 000 acres in her broad domain, not more thau 15,000,000 are cultivated. Mr. Johnson dlscu&ied tha various mining and agricultural industries of the state, and concluded: “With deep water nt Galveston, which is now the largest cotton export ing port in the world, and is rapidly forging to tho front as one of the larg est wheat exporting porta of the United States, wo arc prepared to receive and welcome tho overflow population from the older states and can assure them good homos, low taxes, just laws, schools not surpassed by any state, cheap lands, richest sell, tho most sa lubrious climate, and churches to suit the rcligiou’? views of all accepted de nominations. ” FUNERAL OF DR.
