The expenditures Of the government.


The amount of expenditures of the
Government within the fiscal year, end
ing on the 30th nit, was in round NUM-
bers 500, 400, 900, while the appropria-
tons of that year were $83, 900. But
as in practice, portion ofwhat is ap-
propriated for a fiscal year is not ez-
pended until after its expiration, the
only way Of determining what are real
expenditures is by taking the yearly
appropriations BY Congress. These
are all spent first or last, be they great
or small.
As before stated, appropriations for
the last fscsl year were $50. 900, 900
while the receipts have been eonsidera-
bly, less than $60,ooo.ooo. Those from
customs for the last three quarters Of
the year have been $3T,0o0,000, or
just about the figure estimated by
Gov. Cobb. That he was not quite
as exact in his estimates during the
panic of 1851 is not strange, since that
he was fresh in the position Of Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and of course
could not foresee all the disasters to
trade precipitated by a general explo-
sion of paper money institutions.
As the receipts from customs for the
last fiscal year are s0o,5oo,ooo, it is
reasonable to supposethat they will be
for the fiscal year now entered upon al
least $55 100000. Sales oflands, DC.
will carry that sum up above sixty
millions, leaving from fifteen TO TWEEN
| ty millions applicable to the retention
Of treasury notes, since that the ap-
preparations. definite, for the present
f-eal year are not above $4,000 900
As it has been generally stated
through reports hence, that salaries Of
postmasters throughout The country
and oftheir clerks, which other expen.
ses, would be defraying from aecruing
postages after soih June, ult., It j,
proper to say that no such views j:
countepanced at the department. Or
the contrary, i is held that not a dollar
can be legally expended until Congress
meets and makes appropriation on pos
Office account. What is received b
postmasters after the S0th ult., is hell

AN AMERICAN PRoTEcToRATE IN
MExIco 1T is reported in Washing
ton that Mr. McLane has forwarded
from Mexico the draft of a treaty to
which the Juarez Government is pre-
pared to give its assent. The main
features of the propose treaty are the
concession of valuable transit privil-
edges, with the right to the American
Government Of transporting hoops anb
munitions Of war over these tansit
routes, aud Of sending hoops to pro-
teet them, should Mexico fail in that
duty. Il is also. according to re-
port, proposed to form a closer alliance
between Mexico and the United States
OF, in other words, to lay the basis
for an American proteetorate. Presi-

NEGRO PREACHING.

IF there is anything under the sun
that is calculated TO clog up, and stag
nate tine good opinion manifested to-
wards the pulpit, it is certainly that
odious and obnoxious practice of negro
preaching! The idea of allowing

cency, learning, or even the use OF

like a mad-man. in the sacred and Sc
rene desk of Gods holy sepulchure,

truth, the church of God, the laws of
State, and the general morality of a

that holy desk. But we must say, a
feeling deeply tinged with shame and
disgust. mars that reverence and re-
spect, when We see an uneouth, surly

oas language. The idea of negro,
ranting, raring, frothing and stamping
mad-lnanlike in the pulpit, is a burlas-

to the prosperity of Christisnity, as
well as dark eseutchen of Ignorance
