A statement OF the receipts and disbursements 81
the Federal Treasury for the fiscal year ending
June Both, lsi5, from The New York Journal 81 Cow
merce, is going the rounds OF the papers We think
the writer must have COMPOUNDED the current
with the past fiscal year in some portions Of his
innate, the extraordinary expenses SET down Tor
the army and navy could not all have accrued up to
the 30th June last We shall look into the matter
In our next, now IN preparation, In connection win
the probable expenses OF the ensuing year, and az 10
the amount OF revenues which will be demanded az
the basis upon which the proposed modification OF
the tariff is to be founded Suffice for the present
that the regular and extraordinary expenses OF the
Government, for the current hsca year, inclcding
twenty-three millions of appropriations OF all kinds
at the last session; the anticipated three millions
draft upon the Treasury tor the support OF the Post
! Off ce department, embracing the payment OF
hostages upon Government matter heretofore frank
ed; the redemption of some six millions Of Urea
sury notes OF the twelve million loan; ana Inc cx-
traordinary expenses amounting to several millions,
of the bloodless war with Mexico since the adjourn
ment of Congress, will leave but small balance OF
the 1886 600 900 in the Treasury estimating the ag-
gregate receipts for the current year as equal to
those of the last. This gives an awful idea OF
the proposed revenue tariff, upon which idea we
shall enlarge in our next letter.
