If breviy be, by common consent the soul Of wit,
Why should Presidents Messages be such inter
nnusbe specimens Of elongated wind Our renders

illusion 10 the strictest sense of the word-monopO
lied mere than nine columns of The TRIBu NJ, to
tie exclusion Of matter which We Know would
have been found nore entertaining, and which, We
h,tter ours,lses, would have been found more
instructive. But our readers may not bo aware
that tie Message aforesaid contains over -, 600
words. In this matter Of prolixity and verbcsity,
Presidents seem TO BE- growing worse aud worse.
The Inaugural Address of Washing tOn might be
printed ID bali crlamn Of this journal. His first
Annual Address wa, still shorter. His second
Annual Address was about rs long as the first. His
third Annual address was a little longer but still
very short. His Special Messages were models OF
brevity and lucidiy. The Addresses of The first
Adams were all short, although hc was
not upon COMMON occasions, man OF lew
words. M J~Tr.s~n's first Annual Message

HIS second Was even shorter; his third wa. about
10 long as the secor1; and bis fourth no longer.
Mr. Msdson's Messages we're generally short, In
eIudiog his Confidential War Message, of which
Mr. Buchanan u ould have made, if be had followed
bis usual pl.n Of expansion, about twenty columns
of our pager. Mr. Msdison's Baak Veto Message
in 1915 was hardly longer than this article. HIS
ls.t Message, and We thnk BIZ longest, might be
printed in two columns Of The TRIBUNE. Mr..
Monroe's Messages were all short in comparison
with modern performances, although they Indicate
tendency to prolix,ty-his Special Message on
Internal Improvements being an elaborate treatise
which be might have made but did not care to
male shorter. Mr.. John Quincy Adamss Mes
ssges were. 10. brief documents, although they
would be considered brief if published at the
present time.
From the Inauguration Of Jackson, the Presi.
dents Message has been the fearful document
which now 6ls the bOsoms OF those who must
read it with mixed sensations of awe and anguish.

The CONDITION OF THE TREAsURv.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American has the following in reference to the con-
diton of the Federal treasury, and the failure of
Mr.. Cobb's estimates:
The condition of the Treasury for the plst week,
as exhibited by the official statement at the de-
partment this morning, shows no Improvement
whatever upon the preceding one, and, if any
thing. small falling off in material respects. The
receipts, from all sources, only amount to $685.
04l 81, or below average of twenty five mill
lions a year. This is the last day of the second
quarter, and Mr.. Cobb's estimates, thus far, have
signaly failed of verifcaton, while those made in
the North American, two months ago, without the
advantage of the official data, have been sustain
ed with singular accuracy. He would do well to
consult that authority hereafter in preparing fig
which have to undergo public scrutiny, and
now made to rise in judgment against him.
There nominaily five and half millions yet
subject to a draft, but from this two millions
must be deducted for drafts drawn but not paid,
leaving really but three millions and a half SUBJ
ject the order of the Secretary in all parts OF
the United States.
