Desperate Financial Situation Of
the Administration.
IWAshington COrrespOndence Of the World.

'r lW aShington Correspondence OF the w orld.J
Much uneasness is felt in Administration
circles respecting the condition of the ma
tional finances. Another large issue of cur
rency is now probable, since it is felt that
even with the amount now out, it Is impos-
sible to prevent gold going to 200 and up
ward, and one or two hundred millions
more will not make matters much worse
The Government is now spending two mill
lions per day. Its receipts from loans, taxes
and customs are less than one million per
day. The ten-forty loan does not sell be-
cause people feel that they have already
lent the Government as much as they
can without putting ''too many eggs in a
basket" and the national debt Is now
mounting up so rapidly that the most san
guine begin to admit that 1t can new
er be paid, but that the best that
cam be hoped for is, that 1t will be only par
TALLY repudiated by being funded in gov
ernment bond bearing three per cent. inter-
est. The squabbles In Congress over the
Presidency are delaying, and may finally
defeat all action upon the tax bills; and
without aid from some source the national
treasury will be bankrupt in a few weeks.
Such are the conflicting interests at work,
aud such the fear of members Of Congress
of the effect upon their aspirations of in
creased taxation, that there Is no probabili-
ty that any tax bill will be put In operation
till after the presidential election. Mr..
Chase will suspend the sale of gold certiti-
Gates about the 1st of May, and again de-
mand gold for duties. Its uncertain as yet
whether the ''tadpolen notes will be issued
to government creditors or the "legal ten
der" form be adopted to supply deficiency
that has become inevitable. a TT

HOW THE REBELS GET NEWS FROM WASHING
fI ~ rs TON. 'i ln4s

need not tell your readers that the Con-
federate authorities at Richmond continue
to receive early and accurate information
of all that passes at Washington, and this too,
not merely with what is open and public,
as the dOings of Congress and the move
ments of troops, etc.. but also with regard
to what is secret and in regard to matters
that are studiously keptfrom the knowledge
of the loyal people of the North. 1t Is a
positive fact, and as sad and shameful as 1t
Is certain, that the decisions that are arrived
at in cabinet meetings, and the plans which
are fixed upon and decided at the White
House, are In many cases (notin all) known
at Richmond within three days after they
mel this intelligence passes it is not
for me to say, tor 1 could only con-
lecture. But / know now that all
the contraband goods, medicines, pa
pers, and letters, which a certain female
recently took into Dixie's land under the
flag Of truce, did not do one-half the harm
to the Union cause, and were not one-half
as valuable to the rebels as something else
which she carried, something which was
impalpable to the senses, and which would
have escaped the vigilance of the most
lynx-eyed official, even II she had been
searched at Fortress Monroe. True or false,
the rebels boast that the secrets of the White
House are no secrets to them and never
have been. What plans of our Generals
have miscarried and been rendered abortive,
at the expense of the useless sacrifice OF
thousands of our brave soldiers? They are
the plans which the Generals have been
compelled to disclose to the President. But
enough of this. +
1t Is stated, then, that the Confederate
leaders are abundantly satisfied of the tact
that there Is a regular plot existing against
General Grant at atWashington, in pursuance
of which the plans of the latter will be in
terfered with to such an extent that they
will be rendered entirely abortive, and that
this will be done for political reasons alone
The President, the Secretary of War, an6
General Halleck are said to be at the heaC
of this plot, which had its inception before
the recent elevation of General Grant, but
after that elevation had been discussed in
Congress and after it was probable that Il
would take place. 1t Is said that the rebe
leaders are satisfied that the recent so-callet
reorganization of the Army of the Poto'
mac was made by the President and Secre.
tary of War against the wishes of Genera
Grant, and that it will seriously impair the
efficiency of that army. The historian who
wishes to write the secret history of the
White House under the present Admins
tration, must 60 to Richmond for his mate
rials; he will find them there in abundance
No one believes for a moment that MIR. Lin
coin Intentionally gives aid and comfort t
the rebels; but they have unquestionably
found most powerful ally in his unre
strained loquacity, and in the weakness an(
irresolution of his character. i.-

Paris Fashions.

The use of lace in the trimming of robes,
says an enthusiastic critic of the Partisan
toilet, has risen to the rank of ''an architect
ural art" They are now applied in figures
and patterns which require an extreme
mathematical accuracy and precision at
once in design and in execution. ,.
A variety of new corsages have made
their appearance; one of the most notable
being corsage ending in seven round bas-
ques, the ceinture comes back upon the
front, passes under the arm, and is caught
up on the left side. At one of the most
brilliant balls recently given In the eFau-
bourg st. Germain, many new and charm
ing toilets made their appearance. One,
worn by a Marquise of the highest fashion,
was dress of moire satinee, covered with
tunic ornamented with four bouillonnes
of rose-colored tulle with an undulating
ruche. The corsage, trimmed in the same
way, had small sleeves turned back on the
shoulder and caught up with agrafes of dia-
monds with long aiguilettes. S
In the demi-toilet we have dress of
pearl-gray nioire satinee with large train
and a single chatelaine of chenille, the
corsage decolletto and draped with rich
Honiton lace; the sleeves very short and
bouillones. 19
Another charming toiletis dress of cafe
a-la-creme-colored silk; the skirt trimmed
with q waving green fringe a few inches
above the lower edge, and wave-line of
embroidery following the upper outline of
the fringe. High corsage a pointe; sleeves
to the elbow and trimmed like the skirt
Coiffure of black lace en- cache-peigne.
In hats we have variety of novelties

The FARMERS AND THE INCOME Tax
The income tax, as income is assessed, falls
heavily,upon the farmers-more so, we are
satisfied, than the Administration intends.
The burdens of the war have been purpose
ly kept off the farmers as much as possible,
because they chafe under the burdens OF
government levies more rapidly than any
other class. The result of over assessing
win be falling off in the Abolition vote
and, this should console the Democratic
farmers in the injustice done to them. The
assessor estimates the value of hay and grain
aud then adds to that the profit on horses,
cattle and sheep. He pays in fact double
tax. The hay and grain which are con-
.simed on his farm bring him no income
whatever. His entire income arises from
what he sells.--New Lisbon Patriot.

that the principal recruiting for the war

FA1RFIELD cOPPERHEADIssl

The venomous, slimy CopperheadS
Of Fairfield county, Kissed on by DIR.
Olds, held County Convention, re-
comfy, at which they adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
"Resolued, That the Delegates from
this county to the State Convention be
and they are hereby instructed to vote
for no delegate to the National Demo-
cratic Convention, who is in favor OF
prosecuting the present war"
This resolution truly represents the
position of Finck and the Vallandig-
ham Long Democracy Of the 18th Con-
gressional District. In q short time,
the entire Copporhead wing will pro-
claim for tho Long and Anderson pro-
gramme; and if Finck don't abandon
his half war and half peace position,
and swallow the entire Long dose, he
will be kicked overheard. He cannot
"carry water on both shoulders" in
these times. AS Douglas said, the on
ly issue is, for the war or against it
either "patriots or traitors"
We hear it surmised, that a promi
nent Long Democrat will soon take thu
field, for the Copperhead nomination
against the Hon. Milk-and-wate
Finck. Circleuille Union.
Don't mention Olds. He is apoliti
~

to have his ghastly remains dragge
before them. Cowardly and dodgint

says, "forty million wagon loads

SLAVERY.

Mr. DE TocoUERvILLE, closes his
chapter on American Slavery with the
following prediction:
whatever may be the efforts of the
Americans South to maintain Slavery,
they will not succeed. Slavery, now
confined to a single tract Of the civili'
zed earth, attacked by christianity as
unjust and by political economy as
prejudicial, and now contrasted with
democratic liberty and the intelligence
of our own age, cannot survive"
Hon. REvERDY JOHNSON, himself 8
Stakeholder, says: Nothing is more
true" than these words of Mr.. de Toe
queville.
There is one way to finish the insti
tuition and the rebellion and war
which it breeds, viz: prohibit it by tn
Constitution. C
