WEEKLY TELEGRAPH

Ashtabula, Ohio, Jan, 30, 1859,

THE TREASURY AND TUE TARIFF.-As Con-
gresc comes within hailiug distance of its close
and no measure for relieving the collapsed state
OF the treasury is even proposed, the dispensers
and recipients of public patronage become ner-
yOus as TO where the money for the summer
quarterly payments is to come from. Eighteen
millions Of last years treasury notes fall due be-
fore the Ist Of July, and with these the official
estimate Of the deficiency between revenue and
liabilities on the lst of July is thirty millions of
dollars. Congress cannot, therefore, in this
emergency adjourn without providing some ex-
traordinary means for the replenishing OF the
treasury. A new lean IS inevitable. No change
in the tariff woHld operate speedily enough to
meet the pressing necessities Of the treasury
Both measures will probably be pressed by the
administration.

England refuses her consent. In consc-
quence Of serious disturbance in Syria, re-
endorsements from Coosiantinople had been
seut for. Some political changes had Ia
Ken place, and reforms dccreed in Persia.
The ticklish conditions OF things in Europe
Is shown by the fact that a word or two drop
ped by the Emperor Napoleon, at ono Of his
levees, produces widespread CONSERVATION, in-
stanlly lowering the value Of public securities in
the money market and gives rise to many pre-
dictons Of general war aud a re-adjustmcnt
Of the map Of Europe. All this because Ma
polecn said to the Austrian minister that un-
friendly relations existed between the two gov
ernments--a fact that was generally known be-
fore. President Buchanan might have made a
speech to each Of the diplomats at Washington
without alarming anybody. But Napoleon Tor
some time endeavored TO get Austria TO join
him in saying to the pope that he must concede
certains reforms TO the people, or they would
withdraw the protection of their tRops. us
tria has not only refused to do this but has in
creased the rigors of its rule in Italy and has
encouraged the pope to expect its protection 10
any contingency. Napoleon knows this 10 be
bad policy, and especially hazardous forhm per
sonay, for the Italian liberals look upou him as
the eusaver OF Italy as well as OF France, and
will repeat the 0rsini plot against his life when
ever they can. 1t is for the safety Of Napoleon
and for the peace Of France that Italy should
be tranquilzed, and tranquility can only be OBJ
tanned by concession to the people. This, we
presume, explains the whole matter Whether
the difference with Austria will lead TO actual
war is yet doubtful 1t may defer the impend
ing crisis in Italy ITSELF whose people may wait
to see if they are to be thus delivered Of their
foreign oppressors, before attempting their owr
deliyerence. If France should fight Austria
Russia will side with France, and it will be very
difficult for England to avoid cooperation on the
same side. t, 4..

1854, the franked matter sent from Wash

postage on it would have been $l33,O0O,
or at the rate Of 81 $4,000 per year
This is more than double the annual def

Of the Washington post Office that two and
