A COMPARISON.

We clip the following incontrovertible state
OF the Treasury. Will not the Globe admit The
truth by lis sence2
Yet, from present appearances, il seems certain
that the deficiencies above stated will exist during
the present and the next fiscal year. They but
continuances of similar deficiencies, which COM
menced Immediately after the deposes were made
with the States, and have continued for the last
ven years The accompanying table (C) exhibits the
receipts from the various sources accrung between
the LIST OF January, 1887, and the Both September
l643 the expenditures, exclusive of payments for
principal or interest of the public debt those made
on that account and the actual balances in the Trea
sury.
1t will be seen that the deficiency has been dimin-
shng during the last three years. having been at the
rate of hundred thousand dollars less per year
during that time than during the preceding four years
l he average rate OF revenue per annum, accruing
between the lst of January, 1897 and the 3lst De-
cember, lS4O, was twenty-one millions of dollars,
while that between the LIST of January l94l and the
Both September, l843, eighteen millions two
hundred thousand dollars per year.
The aCcrulng revenue stated in the table embraces
all the receipts into the Treasury during the periods
referred to, excepting those from debts and other
funds existing prior to 1897 in reference to the first
mentioned PERIOD and with like exception of re-
celpts from similar funds which existed before lS4I
III reicTtnce 10 the second period, ana excepting IN
both cases the means derived from loans and 1rea
sury notes. This view is taken for the purpose of
exhibiting the actual revenue Independent of acct
dental and extrinsic additions. Thus, during the
first four years. the deficiency in the ordinary reve-
nue. was supplied by the balance in the Treasury on
the LIST of January, 1887, of Sl6,O87 270 49, by
celpts from debts and other funds existing before the
lst of January 1887 to the amount of So 697 &c.
and by Treasury notes. During the last two years
and nine months, the deficiency was partly supplied
by the balance in the Treasury the lst of January
lS4l, ST. 1862 65, by receipts from funds existing
before the last mentioned day, to the amount Of
s72o,723 SO, and the residue by loans and Treasury
notes
1t will be perceived, Also that the expenditures for
the four years. for all purposes other than the public
debt, averaged at the rate of twenty millions
one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars per
year, while those of the character for the last
two years and nine months averaged at the rate of
twenty-four millions four hundred and forty Eight
thousand dollars per annum. The reduction in ex-
pendures for the last mentioned period was much
greater than the diminuton Of revenue.
The payments on account Of the principal and in
teres OF the old public debt and the interest loans
and Treasury notes during the aforementioned PERIOD
exceeded two millions, while those between 1887 and
1910 were less than seven hundred thousand dollars

IMPROVEMENTS OF LIGHTS.

Mr.. EpIToR-
Being great admirer of improvements in every
branch of art science, take the liberty Of calling
your attention. and, through you, the attention of the
public, toa very pleasant and improving trip that took
some few days since down our bay. The night itself
was one of great beautythe wind was jus, sufficient
to fill the sails of boat and to wave US gently
over the surface Of the unmoved bay-the stars were
twinkng in myrlads over the face of the great
Ply above and all else darkness and comparative
stiffness All at once, and just at the moment when
our hemsman felt somewhat anxious for our course
the new and improved light from Thomas's Point
broke upon our view. This light deserves the COM
mendaon of all who are ntere ted IN the increased
security of our waters to navigators. These lamps,
with rehecors of thirty inches diameter unobstruct-
ed by the sash formerly are visible at the distance
OF about thirty-hye miles and afford secure and I'm
erring landmarks to the seafaring men. Too much
praise cannot be bestowed on the exertions of Mr.
Peasanton, (the 5th Audtor) for his success in in
venting, and his assiduty in carrying into effect the
Improvements above alluded to- There was not one
on board our little vessel who did not join in COM
mending this admirable light at this point and there
were among us, assure YOU MIR Editor, many who,
from experience, or from scientific pursuits were
well calculated TO judge. We proceeded in safety,
guided in our tracklcss path by the improved light
all along the seaboard.
On our return homeward, reaching Smiths Island,
we could but dmly the massive protection walls
which have been lately erected under the manage
ment Of very efficient contractor Those on board
soon afterwards had their attention directed to the
site time since pointed out as proper location
for fort, commanding the entrance to the waters Of
the Patapsco, at Solers Point Flats. II was a mat
ter of some inquiry and surprise to us that eligible
as the situation evidently is and Intellectual for the
purposes required, Fort McIIenry j, admitted to
be- that an appropriation should not have been made
for this most necessary work.
My object, MIR. Editor in this communication, was
principally to direct public attention to the improved
lights before spoken Of and to return my thanks to
the talented officer who has been so successfully ac-
tive in planning and eleyating them.

MIR. McDUFFIE-MR. RHETT-THE TARIFF


We perceive from our Congressional pro-
ceedings, that there has been simultaneous
movement in the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives, by Mr. McDuffie and r. B. Rhett,
calling upon the Committee of Finance OF the
Senate, and the Committee of Ways and Means
of the House, to report bill, as soon as practl-
cable. so as to restore the Compromise Act
This, with other important measures, closely
connected with the true interests OF the coun-
try, will be brought before Congress at as early
day as practicable, which will, in our opinion,
change materially, the present aspect OF poliIl-
cal affairs, and cause great commolion among
those who think that all they have to do is the
mere registering of their edcts, as determined
upon by the Caucuses, which have been held IN
the Capitol, or that which is to come OH at
Baltimore in May next
The motion of Mr.. Rhett TO suspend the
rules, so as 10 allow him an opportunity of bring
ing this subject before the House, caused con-
siderable uneasiness among those who do not
wish 10 agIate this question before the Presl-
dental election but this movement is only an
index of what is to follow, and we anticipate,
when this subject is fairly presented TO the
House, the lines which a present divide the two
parties will be materially changed, and then the
People will have fair opportunity of seriously
canvassing the claims of all the candidates
mentioned for the Presidency.
We were not atall surprised at the Wing par
ty's voting against the suspension of the rules,
to allow this resolution Of Mr.. Rhett being en-
terlalned but we were greatly disappointed at
the votes of some gentlemen, who call them
selves "anti protectioHists," against the motion
TO suspend the rules.
The uneasiness which this important political
movement has caused is fully illustrated by
letter 10 the Globe Of yesterday, explaining the
reasons which governed its author 10 voting
against the proposition to suspend. The rea-
sons there assigned are not, in our mind, at all
satisfactory, so far as the principles involved are
concerned. The object of Mr.. Rhett was sim
ply to cause the committee TO act promptly upon
the subj,c ct not that he doubted the ability, the
promptitude, or the patriotism Of the gentlemen
comprising that committee, or that they would
not act promptly in the matter, but simply 10 pre-
vent other business, which might be referred to
that committee, having precedence over this, in
which the State he represents is deeply inte-
rested This was the main object of Mr. Rhett,
which will be followed up for the purpose of
testing the sincerity Of those who affect so much
adherence of the Tariff as it stands and no
party explanations will satisfy the great body
Of the People upon a subject Of such magnitude.
This question must be met in an open, frank,
and explicit manner by the votes of the Repre-
sentatives of the People, and not by explanatory
notes.
