street, He says that his papa WAS not Of the same
name as himself nor does he believe that any scayen-
ger could have had by accident OF coincidence his
really unusual name The insertion Of such blunder
was calculated to Dure bis social position ia the eyes
of many persons, who might naturally believe himto
be the scavengers son. He demonstrated in the

that sit might be . mistake.n In 1858 the Direc-

FROM WASHINGTON CITY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Senate.-Mr Bayard OF
Delaware offered the report of the Judiciary Commit
tee to-day upon the question of the contested seats
Of the Indiana Senators.
The committee report adversely to the claim Of
Messrs. Love and Mccarthy, and confirm Messrs
Bright and Fitch as fully entitled to the seats they
occupy as Senators from Indiana, Notwithstanding
the Indiana Legislature, declared their seats vacant
and elected Messrs. Love and Mccarthy to fill them
Senator Houston of Texas introduced a bill to
unite the two Judicial Districts of Texas, the object
being to remove Judge Watrous.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The Secretary of the Treas.
ury, in reply to resolution of the House. sent in to-.
day an elaborate report the subject of the revenues
and the deficiency in the Treasury He says that the
receipts of the first quarter of the present fiscal year
amount to nearly $35, $50 900.
The receipts of the remaining threequarters are
estimated at s3S,500,00O. Of this amount it is esti
mated that $37000000 will be derived from customs,
The Secretary believes that the quarter ending the
one ending 31st March, SIS 900 900 and the quarter
ending June 3Oth, s12 100000.
He reports that Information received at the Treas.
ury Department confirms these estimates. During
the fiscal year. ending June SOth, 1857, the importa.
tions were very heavy, amounting in the aggregate
on dutlabe goods, exclusive of expectations to over
1924 100000
The receipts Of customs during that year, he says,
were over s63 ,250OOO
For the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1858, impor.
tations were very much reduced amounting in duta.
BILE goods exclusive Of exportations to 1902 900 OOO
The Secretary thinks the imports Of dutiable goods
during the present fiscal year. must reach $3.50 900 OOO
besides those exported and fer the next fiscal year
he estimates the imports at OOO therefore,
he concludes that the receipts will not be adequate to
the public exigencies unless the expenditures Of the
Government be reduced considerably below the
estimate.
But he does not anticipate such result and says,
that if the bills which have been passed by either
House become laws, the expenditures Of the Govern
ment would be very largely and permanently in.
creased
The Pension bill alone, he says adds several mil
lions to the regular annual expenditures.
He says the expenditures must be reduced to the
estimated receipts or other means OF revenue must be
provided He considers the first of these remedies
the most desirable
He further states that plan will be submitted to
Congress for codfyng the revenue laws and for regu
lating the collection districts.
II these measures are adopted, he is confident il
will greatly facilitate the operations of the Treasury
Department. and largely reduce the expenses Of the
collection Of the revenue.
The Secretary recommends abolishing the frankinc
privilege and raising the rate of letter postage on ali
distances under three thousand miles to five cents
He also advises q modification of the present
tariff for the purpose of increasing the revenue
