 TREASURY REPORT.
 The length of the Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the crowded state of our columns of late, by the public documents which had necessarily to be published, ln- duces us to give an abstract of the leaolhg features of this report Cincinnati taSeHe. zss7he Public Reuenae aud ETPendaafeS. On the first day of January, 1854, the bal ance in the Treasury of the United states, was Sff, ,7e2, ,9o5, 3I cts. The receipts dur ing the year 1884, were estimated at Si,- 79i .g35 55 cts.: making an aggregate of re- ceipts. until the first of January, 1853, of e33 .4o4 $40 36 cts. The expenditures on sil oh;ects. during the same period, was S24,- 6OI .9Sa Al cts. The balance left i'll tine Treasury. on the first of January, 1855, was, consequently, SS, ,S92, ,S5S 42 cts. The ex- cess of expenditures above receipts, during the year 1884, was $2,6l0, ,o46 80 cts.
 During the year 1895, the receipts are computed at S2s, ,430 ,sS1 or cts. and the ex- pendeditures ut SIS, l76, III or cts. There will be left in the Treasury, on the first day of January, 1886, according to the estimate of the Secretary, nineteen million enc hnn- d,ed and .ffiy-sepen thousaRd, hpe hundred and ninetu-eigu dotidrs, and 42 cts. The Report states. that;
 ssComputing, however, all the existing charges of every kind on the Treasury, at the end of the present year, to be about s5I ,o9o,- 574, the balance of available funds, then on hand, would it is estimated, be sufficient to meet the whole Ut once, and leave to Dc hereafter applied by Congress to new and other purposes the sum of about Sl0,450,- O24.'
 "The Public Debt.''-There remains of the amount appropriated, and not yet claim ed. in the hands of the Commissioners, S113, 57O f3 cts. and of the Funded Debt due and unclaimed, there is on deposte $253,558.
 aEsiimates of Public Reuenue and Er- pendiiures for fhe year 1S3e--The estimated receipts into the U. $. Treasury during the ensuing year, are $19,750,000 as follows:
 Customs, ,......-.-......-.-.....-..S Sl5, ,250, ,0G0
 Public Lands, s,....--..........--...-.5,00 ,000 ,000
 Bank dividends and miscella-
 neous receipts ,000
 The amount, and the available funds in the Treasury, will make the total receipts during the ensuing year, S37 ,796 ,595.-The esti- mated expenditure for the same period are S23, ,l33, $40. The naval service of the Unit ed States, for the current year, expends S2, .020 ,2l6, 39 cts. That of the coming year, is estimated, on the ssgradual improvement" of the Navy, at S4,76S,70s. The military service is only estimated at raising a million more for the ensuing year, than 1885,
 Under the appropriate head, the Secretary of the Treasury makes the following remarks:
 ssBy virtue of former acts of Congress, there will probably be wanted, during 1886, for the payment of interest and dividends unclaimed on the funded debt and of unfund- ed debt itself, yet unpaid, tho sum of $5O,- GOO.
 "To these add such contingent excesses of new appropriations by Congres for ordinary purposes as arc not included ill the estimates, but which are likely to be deemed proper by that body, and the grounds of which were ex- plained in the last annual report, $3,00o,000. The estimates of expenditures iii isS,ssSs;, fer extraordinary purposes, which are submitted in connection with the military and naval services, amount to S3, ,326 ,S25.
 sMaking, as estimated for tho service of 1886, all the new appropriations of every kind specifically called for, to be Sl7,5l5,- fa33 and all the expenditures of every kind, for the service of the same year to be in tue aggregate S23, I33, ,6lo.
 ssOn the suppesition that the appropria- biObio Vubs otN1iAiiis5 oifo NiieHiSoVSN St f'iN ends of the years IS3o and 1886, will bs similar in amount, this would leave an avail able balance in the Treasury at the close of the year 1896, or on the list of Jan. ls3'II , estimated at about $l4, ,5G0, ,0O0, provided the receipts be as computed, and Congress make DO larger appropriation for extraordinary or other purposes, at their present session, than those enumerated in the estimates submit ted.
 ssFor this amount. after deducting about eight millions to pay the outstanding appro- priations, to which the Treasury will then probably stand pledged, there will be left, at the close of 1886. a nett balance of only from six to seven millions applicable to any other use, which Congress may now, or then be pleased to designate, instead of about ten and half millions, the nett balance estimat- ed to be lofi so applicable at the close of 1885. In other words, tho expenditures will, in the ensuing year, for only the objects specified in the estimates, probably exceed the receipts in that year about four millions of dollars, and thus, to that extent, reduce the balance pow on hand. ;
