We would like to have it under.
stood, says the Washington Union,
that there is wide difference be.
tween the decline of the public reve :
nues and the exlravagance Of the
Administration This difference may
be Illustrated by stating two current
facts in coHnexi0n with the revenues
and the appropriations and cxpendi,
lures of the Government during
the present ) ear:
FIRST. The receipts Of the treas
treasury have greatly declined.
Secondly. The expenditures Of
the government have been less than
heretofore.
Those who charge the. President
with the issue Of treasury notes and
bonds should credit him with the cur
rent deficit of the revenue in order
TO get at the trne state of the ac-
counts. Had the income Of the
treasury been wholly cut of, it is
manifest that a still larger amount
of notes and bonds would have been
required to meet necessary expenses;
because the amount of cash on hand
was Insufficient nor would the admin
istration be properly chnrgeable with
such condition Of things. The
recent Revision acting directly up
on foreign trade, has reduced the
revenues more than one-half; and
this ftct is sufficient Justification
for the issue of treasury notes and
bonds. The present condition of
monetary affairs was, to a great ex-
tent, anticipated by The head of the
Treasury Department end by the
President; and every effort was made
TO induce Congress to limit the ap.
preparation to correspond with the
diminished receipts Of the exohequer
The efforts, too, ia spite Of the extra
ordiuary demands arising from the
despatch Of large force to Utah,
have been, in a great degree, sue
eessful. The expenses Of the Gov
eminent have been largely reirench-
cd, not in amount proportioned to
The diminished receipts, because that
vas impossible.
Besides, it is believed the striking
tfiminution Of the income Of .ha
treasury cannot be Of long coniinu.
ance. The almost complete suspen.
sion of imports which we have wit
messed Within the last eight or nine
months. indicates rather healthy
and recuperatiye process by which
the enterprise Of the nation will
soon recover its wonted tone Of oner.
gy. We know Of no possible injury
which is likely to result from the
present depression TO any Of our
great interests, not even The treasury
Itself, which, enduring a temporary
embarrassment, will be placed on n
substantial foundation and be ready
for and realize future Successful
business.
These facts instruct Us that it is
something worse than folly to say
that the temporary wants of the
treasury are in q sense ohargeable to
the Administration.

The BANK OF AMERrcA.--The
notes of this institution were touched
with great caution in blu mess circles
yesterday, add as it doubtless ex-
lists through the indulgence Of the
public confidence, and as that conf

ent. our realers need not be surprised
to hear of "a speedy crash about the

be policy on the part Of the directo-

Death Of Gen. Quitman.

= =
The country will be startled by
the sudden and unexpected announces
ment of the death of Gen. John
A. QuitmaD. U. S. Senator from
Mississippi, which occurred at Mon
mouth, bis residence, near Natchez,
on the 18th inst, at quarter befote
six o'clock.
Gen. Quitman maintained through
life high character as soldier, n
statesman, and a man ofspotlessiBteg-
rlty. His greatest distinction was
won upon the fields of Mexico, where

umph Of American arms.
Gen. Qpitman is another victim
OF that terrible "National Hotel
Epidemic" of which it seems we
are never to hear the last. The
Vicksburg Southron Of the ] 9th con-
tains the following from correspon-

day or two previous 10 his death:

ABFECE-WAaRANTED COED!

The best use any one who has
bank notes days can make Of
them is to pay their debts with them!
Do that, and you extinguish your
own liabilities, and are in no danger
Of the notes beco ming worthless on
your hands. Pay debts with them!
Mary Toucey, who was arrested
in Lowell, Mass, for larceny, appears
TO be a desperate ease. Ia 1856
she was sent to the New Hampshire
state prison for horse stealing, but
escaped by digging round and loos-
ing the spikes in a plank in her cell
with a pair of small scissors. This
was the work of many weeks. At
last she removed the plank, passed
out, went to the attic, made rope
of clothing, aud lowered herself into
| the yard, where she obtained lad
der, by which she scaled The walls
and escaped. In passing a farm
house near town, she saw a man un-
dress, ani put bis pants upona chair.
After he was asleep, she raised tbe
window, and with bean pole drew
his pants from the chair. In the
pocket she found one hundred and
fifty dollars in money From the
day of her escape till now they
