Our charge at Buenos Ayres is Mr.. VIM. Brent,
r., Of Virginia; and to any one who has ever met
with him, his known high standing gentleman Of
honor and purity of character AMI principles, would
make any explanation Of the insinuation above
quoted superfuous But as the article has been cop
led into several papers, we have made inquiry re-
garding it; and from gentleman who is acquainted
with the facts, we learn that Mr.. Brent was invited
to conference at the foreign Office of the Argentine
government, at which were present Mr. Arana,
Secretary OF State, and Mr. Ouseley.
During this conference, basis was agreed upon,
by which the wars of the river La Plata would have
been settled in week. A day or two after, new
French minister arrived, and Mr.. Ouseey changed
his principles, and requested the Argentine govern
ment to consider this conference private one
unoficia and before leaving Buenos Ayres, in an
swer to one ofthe communications Of the Argentine
government, he made assertions contrary TO his
previous declarations, that they procured from Mr..
Brent copy of his memorandum Of the triple con-
ference, which, together with copy Of the memo
randum Of Mr.. Arana on the subject, was enclosed
to Mr.. Ouseley, and he was asked how he could rec
oncile the two.
Mr.. Ouseley endeavored to extricate himself, by
stating the difference between private conference
and an official despatch; and then stated that Mr..
Brent had betrayed his confidence, in gving the Ar
gentne government copy Of his memorandum of a
conference which he (Mr. o. chose to consider at
first official one, and afterwards, when it
venient to declare private one.
The fact is, Mr.. Ouseley at first agreed to recog.
Mise the rigorous blockade of Monevideo, and open
ly declared that that measure would end the war.
Soon after, he allowed himself to be made the
plete tool of the French minister, and took this
method ogetting clear of previous engagements; and,
by his shutting policy, Disguised the Argentine gov
eminent so much, that they will refuse to receive
him again; and his career as her Britannia Majesty IS
minister has been very short. He at first sustained
the Argentine government in their just beligerent
rights, and afterwards did all he could to overthrow
them. One of the reasons alleged by Mr.. Ouselt y
for not having official intercourse with Mr.. Brent,
was, that, charge, he was not his equal in rank.
The Argentine government have had full minister
accredited near our government for seven years.

Now, with an average of near $l0,000,0O0 on
hand for whole year, the government is paying
S944 ,294 per annum interest for money it does not
want Why is this absurd and wasteful expendi-
ture! Because the wise system of treasury notes
adopted and persevered in during the secretarysbip
Of Levi Woodbury. was abandoned on the advent Of
the wing party. The treasury notes Always foated
as medium Of exchange, and were taken up to an
extent of some Sl0,000,000 in the internal opera
tons of trade; and they had the advantage of being
receivable for government dues, and payable at The
close of each year; by which means the department
never paid interest on loans, which money was
lying idle in the treasury. A system economical
did not suit the bank fnancers that into power
They funded the notes in a stock redeen,able in
twenty yesrs. The six per cent. stock rcdeemable
in 1863 will cost, principal and interest, SlS343
566; and the money is on hand, loaned out free Of
interest, TO pet banks! The five per cent stock will
cost $40 900 before il is redeemed; making
Sl3 100000 ofinerest money absolutely squander-
ed upon brokers, in addition to the 900 per
annum of interest on the money deposited with
them The interest on this deposte for ten years
amounts to S6000,000, and, added TO that actually
paid by the government makes Sl9 500, 900 of the
peoples money absolutely given TO banks and
brokers, without any equivalent whatever, merely
through the substitution Of the wing funding sys-
tenn for the wise policy they found in operation
when they came into power

UNITED STATES SURPLUS REVENUE ON DErosIrr

From September %, 1874, to the Both ult. COM
pleted year; and in that time, il will be observed
the amount of money hand has declined So, $685.
622--showing that the expenses of the year have
exceeded the revenues to that extent. Il must be
taken into account, however, that S7,537,9l7 Of
stock debt has been discharged on the LIST January
l645, and treasury notes. This leaves balance Of
49, 29l excess of revenue from all sources,
current expenses. The revenues from land, &C..
were ~, $780, 900. So that the customs revenue
under the present exorbant tariff have been scarcely
more than equal to moderate expenditure. II is
observable that while this amount Of money is lying
idle in bank, bone of contention among speculative
brokers, the government is paying more than mil
lion per annum interest on borrowed money. The
debt is now as follows:

Just and equal method for raising revenue; but be-
cause the dissemination Of people, in connexion

As we cannot, therefore, relieve labor at present
from unequal taxation,--in the name Of oil that is
just, let make it as light possible Let re-
duce the tariff to revenue standard, making it bear
as lightly as possible on the labor Of the consumer.
This, we trust, will be done at an early day; in
