pensible duty to call the attention OF Congress
70 the condition of the treasury. On the 18th
Of May the Secretary OF the Treasury estimates
that S32,000,000 dollars would probably be re-
CURED Tor the first two quarters Of the next fiscal
pear. This does hot include such amounts as
may be appropriated over and above the esti-
mates then submitted, and the probable def
cheney cannot be ascertained until the appropri-
alton and private bills shall formally be passed.
He recommends Congress to provide the neces-
sary means before the adjournment. The fail
ure TO do so would be disgrace which should
not fall on the country. IL will be impossible
for him TO ascertain the amount required before
Monday next; 1t now being half past 10 o'clock
Saturday. He repeated that statement in his
annual message, and says he il deliberately de
termlned to approve no bill with which he has
not deliberately examined. and that he will not
depart from this except in extreme cases. He
says he will not desain Congress an hour beyond
the time necessary to ascertain the amount of
the appropriations.
Mr. CLANCY Jones said the message was based
on the sopposition that the House will not 6n-
ish action on appropriation bills till late hour.
To night the loan bill has been kept back from
the consideration Of the House for the simple
purpose of the executive.
Both Houses were engaged until late
hour last night with reports from the Commit

SLiPrERY NEGEo.-The aboltionists should
not take II for granted that every black skin
covers a saint. The desperate black convict

prison, claimed to be fugitive slave, and at
sand1sky, Ohio, the aboltionists released him
BY habeas' corpus, after he had been caught
md lodged in Jail. At Bellcfontane he was
again arrested, and the abolitonists we're Just
.eady to secure him and mob the officer, when

ruth Of the assertion that Dade was an escaped
convict. Dade was taken back to his old quar-
ers. lie states that he preached a sermon TIE
