w AsHINGTON, Feb.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-P. NJ.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the
House to-day, in reply to resolution pass
ed by that body, calling for the actdal and
probable receipts from customs, public and
other sources, for this and the next fiscal
year, and for his opinion whether said re-
ceipts will be adequate tie meet public ex-
penditures, says the receipts for the first
quarter of the present fiscal year, ending
Sept. last, were nearly $25, 800, 900 as stated
ia his annual report the receipts for the re-
naming three-quarter were estimated at
1913, 100000; of which sum S37, 200, 900
were estimated to be derived from the Gus
toms.
1t was believed that the quarter ending
December last would yield $4,000 000.-
The present quarter ending 31st March,
$4,000, 900, and the next quarter ending
3Oth June, 100000. In reference not
only to customs, but to the public lands and
other sources of revenue, from all the infor.
nation which has been received at the De-
partment, since the annual report confirms
the estimates of probable receipts for the
present and next fiscal year He is, there
fore of the opinion that the result will show
| that the actual receipts for the remaining
quarters of the present and next fiscal yeaI
will not vary materially from the estimates
already submitted to Congress. In support
of this opinion he submits q comparison Of
receipts for the same quarters of the two
proceeding years. During the fiscal year
ending Both June, 1857, the importations
were very heavy, amounting in dutiablt
goods exclusive of those exported, to over
! 1924, 600, 900, and the receipts from customs
| of that year were S62, 348,0 900. In the ifs.
cal year ending June 3oth, 1853, the impor-
tations were much reduced, amounting il
dutiable goods, exclusive of those exported
to 1902, 900 and the receipts from custom:
for that year were.$42, 046, 900. To realize
his estimates the importation Of dutiablt
goods for the present fiscal year must reach
$3.50, 1000, 900, besides those exported; anG
for the next fiscal year to the sum of $780,
Oo0,O Comparing the foregoing receipt.
and looking to healthy and favorable re
action in business he should regard it Al
unsafe and unwise to calculate upon larger
importation than the present estimates con

The Overland mail has arrived.
Paul c. Shore was killed in Santa Clara
county by Thos. Seals on the 9Th. There
was great excitement and the military was
called out to protect the prisoner, who was
conveyed to the Jail in San Jose.
A rumor prevailed in San Francisco that
800 prisoners, had been poisoned by the use
of some chemical mixed in the flour. There
is doubtless some truth in this report but
greatly exaggerated.
The sloop-of-war Vandalia had left for
Guymos to relieve the st. Marys.
The Probate Judge in Carson Valley had
published card declaring his intention to
perform the duties of Office his without the
fear orfavor of any man.
A collision between him and the anti
mormons is regarded as inevitable.
Gen. Kibb was still prosecuting the war
against the Indians in the North with great
success.
He has killed quite number and taken
200 prisoners.

There Is more activity at the County Re-
corder's Office, in placing deeds upon record,
than has been known in four or five years
The sales of lots in the city have been more
numerous the pas: month than at any former
period, and at advanced prices. Most of the
purchases are made, we are told, for Jim
provement. The mild winter has enabled
carpenters to continue their work almost
uninterruptedly. The masons were COM
PEELED to quit work early in the autumn for
the want of brick, the supply of which had
been exhausted by the large operations OF
the summer. Most of the buildings now
going up are of wood, and out OF the fire
district. During walk in the suburbs one
day this week, we were surprised to see the
large number of new tenements that occu-
pied lots which were vacant in October.
large number are now being reared, which is
unusual at this season.
Many of those now under way, are the
fruits Of the industry and economy of oul
mechanics and men of industry, who arr
preparing neat and comfortable homes fol-
their families. That German trait--a pas
sion to own house and Lotto be master
and proprietor of home--is imbibed by oul
population of all classes and nationalities
1t Is feeling that gives strength and Sc
earity to the prosperity of the city.
Another indication of prosperity ant
growth is the large increase in the bushes

recognizes as the aggressor, was under trial,
yesterday, for the act. All " Risky Row
was in attendance as Witnesses, or specta-
tors, and the trial was transferred from the
Justice Office to the Court House. Judging
from Mr.. AcInnerny's testimony, more
daring and reckless robbery has not been
committed for many a day. He asserts that
in the house of his brother-in-law, and in
his presence, he was seized by man
fwho is now under arrest, whom he recog-
nizes)- his arms held down, while Burns
deliberately took his pocket book from his
