with Mr. Boutwell, when they offered the
new bonds to the European public requir

the balance in ninety days. Had he been
desirous of strictly complying with the
law he could have dsne the same.
Mr. Boutwell attempts to palliate his
act by urging that tie ultimate result of
the transaction will be a saving of interest
to the country quite as great if not great
er than the amount illegally expended by
him. The new bonas are at the rate of
