otKcials are much encouraged by the
steady increase of the gold reserve as
u natural consequence ot the receut ,
strong current of the yellow metal
from Europe to these shores. On the j
1st inst. the reserve was dangerously j
near the legal tender limit of $100,000,- |
000, and for a time it wai feared that
the government, much against its in-
clination, would have to again resort
to the issue of bonds for the rehabili-
tation of its gold balance. At that
time, however, there occurred a favor-
able turn in the financial tide, due, it
is asserted, to the natural course of
business, and the gold reserve
has shown a most encouraging
increase, averaging nearly 81,*
000, ($0 a day, until it reached
$114,817,1:.".), which is its present condi-
tion, according to the statement issued
by the treasurer of the United States
yesterday. The department has re-

of the country, directing them to re
dace the expenditures in their respeo
tive custom houses to such an extent
ns to bring the aggregate expenditure?
for the current fiscal year down to thi
amount expended last year. 1 he treas
urv department does not wish to hav*
the expenses of the current year ex
cced those of last year. It is impossi
ble to reduce the force in the survey
or's department, and of course the re
duetious must he made in other de
partments, wherever it is possible tc
do so. The treasury officials are re
luctant to make any reductions what
ever, as the business of the custoir
house is such as to make the retentioi
of all the present employes desirable.

Senator llutler Denies a lleport.
Washington, Sfpt. 17.—When the at-
tention of Senator llutler was called tc
the report that he had written Con
gressman Howard, of Alabama, that
Sewall would withdraw, he replied:
Mr. Howard is mistaken if li * is correctly
represented in the dispatch. If any suet*
statement was sent out from here it was sen'

me more pleasure than to have Mr. SewaH
withdraw, as his withdrawal would remove
un element of friction from the campaign and
make the election of liryan certain, but thf
mutter rests with Mr. Sewall.
