New York, Dec. 4.
We have read an advance copy of the

Treasury on the 1st Of July. ls53,.-$2I,

year were S75,354.630 leaving balance
in the Treasury on July lst Of 500 l37. .9e7.
The receipts for the quarter, ending Sep
tember 30th, 1884. were Sl2,l52,l3o, and
the estimates for the remaining three quar-
ters are s42.500,o00.
"The amount Of public debt, outstanding
on July 1st, was $47,le0,506
"The Secretary anticipates a falling of
in the customs owing 10 the Reciprocity
Treaty and short crops.
"The table Of the tonnage Of the United
States exhibits an increase, for the year, Of
s92 900 tons.
"The table Of exports and imports shows
the imports $26,32l.ll7 in excess of the
exports.
The hsttering state Of the revenue in.
duces the Secretary to again call the atten-
ton OF Congress to the propriety Of reduc.
ing the revenue for economical administra-
tion Of the Government He recommends
rates Of duty, viz: One hundred. forty. and
twenty FIVE per cent, in place Of the eight
schedules at present in use. The recomen-
dation for the repeal of the fishing bountics
is renewed and the subject of draw back or
duties on refined sugar is also recommend
ed to Congress.
1.-THE statement MS TO the currency gives
the total amount of gold and silver coin in
circulation Of $24l 100000 against the TO-
tai bank circulation of 5000, ,4s9,2 ,2o9.
"The Secretary is opposed to circulation
Of notes of small denomination: recon-.
mends the continuation of the Coas! Sur
vey: calls for further aid for preserving hu-
man life from shipwrccks on our coasts; and
suggests that the law should provide great
er safety in the construction OF steam pas
sage vessels.
In view Of recent frauds by collectors Of
customs in Cleveland, Oswego, &c, the re-
port called for such additional Legislation az
may be deemed necessary.
The balance of the report refers mainly
to the mint operations and the operations
by the various departments Of Treasury.

The Feeling In Russia.

Notwithstanding many people on this

fall Of Sebastopol and the ultimate triumph
Of the Allies in the present war, it is not

extract Of letter published in the Nation

informed citizen OF the United States. to a
friend in Washington, dated, ST. Peters
burgh, September Is, 1884:
"DEARF.: The war is scarcely begun.
There is no chance for any power, be il ev-
er SO great, to conquer Russia. The empe-
ror is only preparing for war. Next year
he will have in the field, ready for active
battle one and half millions ofsoldiers, W ell
drilled. The people are all for the war, and
he has no trouble in getting soldiers. for

the world. They are the most devoted
people on earth, and the last cruci6x will
go for the war before they give it up"
