The Finances.

There is one feature of the conduct
of the present Administration, and
that perhaps the most important, which
very few of its opponents dare to critl'
else. This is the management Of the
National finances. Mr.. Chase has
won for himself an enduring and envi.
able reputation in the discharge OF
the oncrous and perplexing duties OF
his Department. His success is a
marvel of administrative ability, un.
der difficulties which might well have
staggered statesmen of ordinary ca.
pacity. Well as he has managed in
the past, the present aspect of our
National finances is full of encourage
ment for the future, and will add to
the fame of Mr. Chase as an unequal
led fnancier. His system is perfect,
or as nearly so as possible under the
circumstances. He does not allow
himself much margin in the way of
surplus money, but under his system
he needs but little.
Mr.. Chase could resume specie pay
ments tomorrow if he desired. His
gold income from duties is now not
much less than one hundred millions
of dollars per annum. 1t takes but
thirty-fve millions of this to pay the
interest Of the public debt, leaving
over sixty millions of dollars in the
Secretary's hands. This would be
sufficient to justify a resumption of
specie payments. 1t is not evinced,
however, that anything of the kind
will occur, for various and obvious
reasons.
Under the act of the late Congress
Mr.. Chase has power to issue five hun
dred millions of five-twcnty bonds.
More than two hundred and fifty mill
ions have been taken by the public,
and it is believed by those who have
the matter in charge that the demand
from the public will certainly exhaust
the entire amount of bonds which the
Secretary is authorized to issue.

1t is possible that the French hold
upon Mexico and the reign Of Max
milan will be of but short duration
after ALL The pleasant alliance be-
tween the Church party and the French,
celebrated with ringing of bells and
salvos of cannon, and dispatched to
France in choicely phrased and glow
ing bulletins, may prove rope of
sand.
The Church party of Mexico does
not represent the entire people, and
underneath all their alliances and
masses and servility is working q
lcaven of republicanism, which will
burst out ere long with volcanic fury.
Napoleon's velvet chains are not likely
to be long worn by these men, who
are continually grasping for Republic
an government, however untitled they
may be for it. It will be mortifica-
tion to Napoleon from which he would
never recover, if, after his efforts to
found an empire upon this continent.
his scheme should fail, result which
is by no means outside the pale of
probability. Juarez is organizing a
powerful force, and will make strong
effort to achieve freedom. The people
Of Mexico sympathize with him, and
the struggle will be desperate one.
Juarez and his Republican Govern
ment are at San Luis Potosi, full of
courage and hope. Gen. Dias has
been appointed Commander-in-Chief,
and has now force of 5000 men at
San Luis, thoroughly organized and
armed. Gen. Doblado, of Guanngua;o,
has 10000 men. also thoroughly or.
ganized and armed. Quecato, Ajaca
and other States are organizing forces,
and the Juarcz Government will soon
have $1,000 or 10000 men in the field
against the French, whom the Juarcz
Government intend to fight now and
ever.
A letter from San Luis Potosi Aug
ust 2lst, says Gen. Doblado had been
appointed Minister of War, and Ccro
De Tejado. Secretary of State, proba-
bly, the two ablest men at present in
the Mexican Republic. Gen. Ncgrete
is already giving great trouble to the
French, and the States of Pucbla and
Tlascala are active in preparations Of
resistance. A correspondent thinks
Mexico will be able to place 100, 900
men in the field against the French.

Gen. Tuttlc's glory is fast waning

The soldiers are emphatic in their de-

In time like this, even where I'm.
ion majorities are certain, it is crimi'
nal to omit active exertion. Every
man should work in his locality as
zealously as if the majority we're
against him-as earnestly as if all de-
pended on his own individual exer-
tion. Every loyal man must do his
duty. He owes it to himself and his
country. Every loyal vote must go
into the ballot box. Every voter owes
80 much to the life Of the nation, now
90 ruthlessly assailed.

HIS CURIOUS AND ROMANTIC HISTORY.
One Nicholas Saib, sergeant in the
Fifty-iifth Massachusetts volunteers, has
curious and romantic history, which
the Boston Transcript thus records:
lie is an intelligent-loOking negro, per-
fectly black, modest, and gentlemanly In
his bearing, aud remarkable alike for hls
experience and his culture. As we un-
derstood his history, as be told IL In q
brief interview, he is = native Of Central
Africa, born in the neighborhood OF
Timbuctoo. In some way he was in
edinto slavery to party Of Arabs,
aud found his way first TO Egypt and
from thence to Turkey. After awhile be
reached Sc. Petersburg, was converted 70
Christianity, and baptized a. q member
Of the Greek Church, dropping the name
OF Mahommed, and taking that of Nioh.
olas. lie IL now q Protestant, be eaYe.
emphaticAlly. From ST Petersburg be
went 20 Germany, and entered the ser.
vice Of "HollAnder" with whom hs
came 70 this country, and settled Ia De-
troit lie enlisted "because all his folks
seemed to be doing so,'
Saib speaks five languages, and can
read and write three or four Of them.
His French is quite Partisan, and his
Italian correct. Ho gives an entertain
ing description Of his native region, the
employment Of it's Inhabitants, and lheir
manners and customs. They are gen
orally Mohammedans. Were il not for
his color and position, Saib would pass
anywhere for person Of no small ao-
quisitions. As il is, no one can see o.
talk with him without being most favor
ably impressed with his department aud
intelligence. He is one, but not the only
one, of the "persons Of African descenl"
in camp At ReAdville. whose acquisitions
and behavior go far 10 dispel ignorant
and vulgar prejudices agsinst the colored
race
