From Washington

WASHINGTON, July l6.-Congress during the last
session having made no provision whatever for an
increase in the revenue the loan bill being speci6-
cally designed for the redemption of the oustand-
ing Treasury notes, the Government is left to en-
tirely depend on its ordinary receipts for support
t WIN strict economy there is no apprehension of
embarrassment. The appropriations for objects not
urgently or mmediately required may therefore not
be expended unless it shall hereafter appear that
there is an increase of financial means beyond pre-
sent anticipation.
The Treasury commenced the fiscal wear on july
lst with about S., 100000 band and the customs
revenue indicate heavy commercial business, the
receipts last week being extraordinarily large. As
the loan act provides only for the redemption of
the Treasury notes, the Department has no inten-
tion to invite proposals under it at this time
The President has appointed the following named
Postmasters: At Rutland, Vt, James McDaniels;
st. Albans, VT, John j. Dearitt; Albion, New

in some form the most serious consequences might
ensue. The examination developed the tact that
four hundred and fifty shares of the stock OF the
