The Treasury Report.

We publish this morning the elaborate report
of Secretary Chase on the finances OF the coun-
try. This review presents the condition of the
monetary affairs Of the nation in much more
favorable light than the public have generally
imagined il would. 1t also gives us an idea OF
the magnitude of the work that our government
has had on its hands, and shows how well and
easily the country has borne the financial bur
then rendered necessary b. the events Of the
war. The rebellion plunged us into one of the
most extensive wars ever engaged in by any
nations but The effect upon the country is moth
ing when compared to that produced upon Eng
land by the wars Of Napoleon. The debt incur
red by us will also b. found to be much more
easily removed.
Our national debt at the present time is put
down in round numbers at eleven hun
dred millions of dollars. II is estimated that
on the lst day of July, 1864, it will reach
in round numbers about seventeen hundred
millions II the war should continue until the
LIST of July ) which does not seem pos
sible with any decent management our debt,
according to present estimates. will reach the
noigbborhood of two thousand five hundred mil
lions. or little more than onehslf of the pre-
sent debt Of England The debt Of the British
government is now over four thousand millions

even in time of peace to REFUGE her debt

interest which the debt bears, eighty-fv
millions during the coming fiscal year.
Should the war continue until the
lst of July, 1865 and the debt be swollen
to twenty-five hundred millions, our annual
interest, even at present rates, will still be be-
low that paid by England. The vast resources
of this country, its hidden treasure and varied
wealth, which are from day to day being de-
veloped will enable us to meet all this, and
the people will not feel the burthen one-half as
much as the subjects of England feel theirs
now. 1t will also enable US to rapidly reduce
our debt when the war is over.
What other nation of the world can present
such records Here we are engaged in agigan-
tic civil war. We have been at work nearly
three years in crushing out rebellion of an
extent and magnitude unknown to any other
nation in ancient or modern times, and yet the
burthen is hardly felt by the people. We shall
soon show to the world that we can crush out
the greatest rebellion of the world. And when
the war ends, and every State returns to the
family circle we will add to the wonders the
astonishing feat of actually paying off our
enormous debt within the lifetime of the pre-
sent generation, thus furnishing an example
that no other nation can follow. Let the
GROWERS in our midst and the croakers in
Europe put this in their pipes and smoke it..
They will find it an excellent remedy for their
apitat0d nerves.

PAY OF NAVAL OFFICEps.-We have received
a letter from a masters mate on one Of our
war vessels, complaining, and very justly too
Of the inadequate pay received by officers OF
his rank; also showing the impossibility of an
officer of that rank supporting his family on
his salary. 1t appears that the pay Of a
masters mate is forty dollars per month when
in port, and forty-nine dollars when at sea, in
Guiding rations Al the former rate he re-.
ceives four hundred dollars per year, and at
the latter five hundred and eghty-eight dollars.
The actual expense OF the officer. at the
lowest igure-and that too, without including
any luxuries but simply counting those items
that he is obliged to buy, and cannot under
any circumstances avoid paying for-amounts
TO about four hundred and sixty dollars. living
in pinched style at that. This leaves him
only twenty dollars per annum to support his
family, on salary Of forty dollars per monJb,
and one huadred and twent y-eight dollars on a
salary Of torty-nine dollars per month We
are assured that at least twothirds of those
men who hold positions of that rank in our
navy are n,en OF families. How is il possible,
we ask, for them TO make both ends meet! l.
this treating men who are engaged in guarding
our nations honor on the high seas and bat
tling for the restoration OF the Union as they
should be treated?
We call the special attention of Rip Van
Winkle Welles, of the Navy Department, to
this Outrageous feature. and also urge upon
Congress immediate action upon this question.
1t is one Of the first questions that our law
makers should take up. Let il not be said
that men in the service Of the country are
obliged to grow poor and poorer every year
that they remain in that service. Such treat
meat is 4 disgrace to our natisn.

ciples contended for on the part Of the op-
position were the freedom of the press,
the right of holding public meetings and the
extension of municipal franchises. including the
election of mayors and common councils; and
the public mind was Influenced by complaints
about the Mexican expedition, the embarrassed
condition of the finances and the annual levy Of
hundred thousand men for military purposes.
This indication of the current that affairs
were taking has not been without its due effect
on the mind of Napoleon. He must have re-
dected upon the fate of his two immediate pre-
decessors, Louis Philippe and Charles x,
who lost their thrones by the operation
of just such causes as he new sees at work He
has prepared for the contingency by the public
improvements made in Paris, which render the
city more easily defensible in case of revolu-
ton. But he knows that the criticisms upon
the policy of his government, which will now
be heard in the Chambers, will be published in
the journals; that the public mind will soon be
operated upon by them, and that even the army
will in time become inoculated with liberal
ideas He will probably be forced to relax i'm
mediately some Of his repressive rules of policy;
but he evidently calculates upon this great
European project of his for changing the
popular current and turning the thoughts Of
France into another direction. That, we take
it, is the real motive and design at the bottom
of the whole affair.

Recruiting FOR THE ARMY.-Recruiting busi-
ness is exceedingly active just now, and if
our capitalists would show their patriotism
little by subscribing for the county loan it
would be still more 80. Our banks did well
yesterday. They subscribed 100000 towards
the $2OO0,000 The Supervisors committee
are likely to lose many volunteers for the want
of means to pay the bounty. Our loyal citi-
zens must come forward and take the re-
mainder of the $2,0O0,OO0 and then our
quota will be soon filed. Mr.. Blunt, chair
man of the committee, received yesterday
and paid the bounty of three hundred dol
lars for one hundred volunteers, and as
many more blank forms for volunteering
were iss;:ed, 1t is an easy matter to make
display of patti .'cotism at public meetings, &c..
but the money is what is now wanteu, i men
would be had and draft prevented Under
the direction of the War Department, every per
son bringing in recruit for the regiments in
the field is paid by the Provost Marshal
fifteen or twenty-five dollars. This has turned
onehalf Of the community, apparently, into
recruiting sergeants Hence the rush upon

to secure men. Some of these agents are
doubtless rogues; but when blank is
returned by one, properly filed, with the
name of the Provost Marshal attached,
the bounty must be paid But whenever
fraud is detected by any one Of these agents
he is soon brought to the bar Of Supervisor
Blunt and made not only to disgorge, but is re-
lentlessly cut off from any further business
with the committee. No less than three wo-
men made their appearance yesterday at tho
rooms of the committee whose husbands had
volunteered, and received one but $50, one
S75 and one 5000. The chairman heard their
cases, got up the papers, and found the names
of the agents, brought them up and compelled
them forthwith to pay over the balance due to
these poor women. whose husbands were
already on Rikers Island The work is 80
prompt that it is never found that the same
agent is caught twice. All the committee
now desire is money to pay the bounty.
