FINANClERING.

An Alabama paper, quoted in the New York
Herald of Saturday, says:
"The bond debt of our State is S3,445, 900 !;
annual interest, Sl95,S20. The domestic debt
is $2,5S2, ,l7S-most Of which draws interest
being the sixteenth section, and University
fund, &c. The Legislature has just authorized
the issue Of S2,U00,00O in bonds, the issue of
$l,OOO,0O0 in Treasury notes and has loaned
the Southern Congress 100000. The balance
in the Treasury on the lst of January last was
$29S,G6S; net revenue during the present
year estimated at SS47, ,000-total of means,
$l,l72,6G9. Past appropriations due, S6OO,G
due educational fund, S285,OO0; State ex.
penses, 5000, ,00O-total, 81 ,O5S,65O. Total bal
ance estimated to be in the Treasury at the
close Of the present year, S2GG,274. The ex.
penses Of the present military preparations Of
the State are not taken into the above esti-
mates. They are expected to be met out Of
the new issue Of the State bonds and the issue
OF Treasury notes. There was no increase Of
taxes by the last Legislature, although the ex-
penditures were largely increased"
In the Legislature before the last, special
tax Of two hundred thousand dollars was i'm.
posed, for the purpose Of raising money to arm
the State. The collection Of this tax was VIC.
lently resisted in some Of the counties, and it
was probably this fresh experience which de.
TERED the last Legislature from imposing new
taxes. The forte of Southern fnanciering is
not in taxing, but in borrowing, or in propos.
ing to borrow. If they could only find lenders,
their prospects would be magnificent.

The editor Of this paper having just returned
from visit to New England, reports that in re.
spect to the evacuation of Fort Sumter, which
is everywhere the subject Of conversation, the
Republicans unanimously con6de in the Presi.
dent of their choice and in the skill Of his
military advisers, and that, however their pa
t-iotic pride may be mortified by surrender
which is understood to be probable and immi-
nent, they know WE'LL that if it takes place. it is
because the Executive Government has not
the power to prevent it. They see that if Gen.
SCOTS advice in October had been acted upon,
or that if Fort Sumter had been reinforced at
a later period, and before the rebel batteries
had been erected which now prevent reinforce
ments, this national disgrace would not now
be impending. They see where the blame at
taches, and where it does not attach. They
see that Mr.. Lincoln has come into the posses.
sion of an estate, dilapidated at all points by
spendthrits and msmanagement, and must
make the best Of it. They confde thoroughly
in his honesty, sagacity, and frmness, and will
leave him to do what is best, and to take his
own time and way, as he shall find it consist,
ent with the public interests, to give the rea.
sons of the conduct he shall determine upon.
The support which the Republicans will give
to Mr.. Lincoln is that of intelligent men, who
have elected him to a most difficult position at
. most difficult time, and who know that he
deserves generous and loyal confidence.

The Policy OF THE ADMlNIsrRATIoN.-lti Is
not considered TO be probable that the country
will regard Judge Douglas as having been au.
thorized by the Administration to exponnd its
policy. But is supposed, that so faras any such
exposition is necessary at all, after the ihau.
gural address of the President, the country will
look for it in the acts OF the Administration.
If Fort Sumter is evacuated, while Fort Pick.
ems and the forts at Key West and the Dry Tor.
tugas are retained, the conclusion will be easy
and unavoidable, that the Administration is not
moving upon any general policy OF abandoning
positions in the seeded States, but is controlled
as to Fort Sumter by the special fact in that
case, long feared to exist, viz: that it cannot
be seasonably reinforced with any means at the
command of the Government

BJ- The Baltimore Clipper, Of Saturday,
says Of the Convention of the seceders, which
held its adjourned and final session in Bali.
more last week:
"The so called State Conference Convention ,
adjourned after appointing commission to Nir.
gina, to confer with the real State Convention
Of Virginia regularly called and elected, as to
the course to be pursued in the existing crisis.
We suppose this is about as little as the seven
ty secessionists could do. They undertook to
engineer q secession movement in Mary laud,
and failed After they had got up their Con.
venton their found themselves in the coudi
ton Of the man who had bou1h: white ele
phant. They didn't know what to do with it.
They were afraid to outrage the opinions and
sentiments Of the vast ma ority the people Of
the State by carrying into execution their in.
tended onslaught upon Gov. Hicks. They did
not dare to assume TO speak for the whole State
OF Mary land. They were at a loss what to DO.
The secession fever was everywhere daily and
hourly abating. The whole South, which at
one time was in danger Of being infected by
the epidemic, was cOuvalesCeut; and the ground
upon which the authors Of this movement ex-
pecttd to stand, and by their thunders make
the whole OF our old Commonwealth quake with
fear, had gradually slipped away and tne agi-
tators found themselves actually dancing
upon nothing They had wrought themselves
up to an intense pitch, and looked carefully
around for some soft place upon which to fall.
Fortunate for them, the Virginia Convention
affords them means of coming down gently,
and they quietly abandon Maryland, and 90
down to Virginia to help her secessionists in
the hour Of their defeat. We shall hear no
more Of the Maryland State Conference Con.
venton. 1t has died for want of breath, and
the remnant of its spirit has gone to Virginia
to be entombed with sece .son there. No one
will regret its departure from this life, but in
charity we may say ReqnieScat IN pace"

The REvEyuE.-The importatious. at New
York csntinue to be light, but the Withdrawals
from the warehouses are large This improves
the revenue, which now averages q hundred
thousand dollars per day, instead of eighty
thousand as estimated by the late Secretary Of
the Treasury, Mr.. Dix.
For the week ending on the 18th instant, the
values of dry goods warehoused and Withdrawn
from the warehouse, were as follows:
Warehoused $247,S3
Withdrawn l,3l6,606
If the secessions which have taken place
have no other effect than to diminish the reve.
nue. to the extent Of the dutiable goods con.
sumed in the seeded States, the diminution
will not be large. Those States have something
less than one sixth of the population Of the
country, free and slave, but one half Of their
inhabitants are slaves, consuming no foreign
goods, and of the free, large proportion con.
sumo little, or none, in consequence Of their
poverty. The State of Massachusetts pays more
revenue to the national Treasury, than all the
States composing the Southern Confederacy.

District Court, dismissrg the claim Of the De-

stracted from the Indian Bureau and bought or

close packing on both sides, about so persons can

Last evening, some time before the saloon was
opened, the hungry ones began to assemble upon
the walk in front, till the sidewalk completely
blocked. When the door was opened, Mr.. G. II.
Campbell, Superintendent, received the guests for
Mr.. Farmer. Preference was given to the women,
the men being admonished to "allow the ladies to
come in first" The table being filled up on both
sides, the door was locked again to prevent crowd
