;. s4ais ANNUAL REPORT 80.
oFoTHE 900 Dosi I
Secretary of the Treasury.

ettt--ita'.a Afsl=l ttltIit
q Mr.. Fessenden's report begins with an as
surance of his confidence in the ability of the
nationto bear its financial burdens, with the
added remark that there is still much reason
tor careful and anxious thought. He then re-
views the financial legislation Of Congress dur
ing the war, and the estimate OF his predeces-
sor, to show that in times like these future de-
mands upon the treasury cannet be estimated
with certainty, nor any policy fixed upon
which shall not be subject to the contingen-
cies of the hour. He believes that there was
no other resource but the issue Of government
paper, with all its danger. The forms Of this
paper, both bonds and notes, have been varied
to suit the preferences of the leaders =. .''' u
Yet, though forced to resort TO the issue of
paper for the time, the idea OF specie basis
was not lost sight of as the payment of inter-
est on long loans In coin was amply secured,
and though in several of the acts authorizing
the issue OF bonds at long periods, payment of
the principal, at maturity,in coin, is notspecif-
ically provided, the omission, 1t is believed, was
accidental, as there could have been no inten-
tion to make distinction between the differ
ent classes Of securities in this regard it is re-
spectfullY recommended to remove all doubt up
on this point BY proper legislation. Although
the wisdom Of thus securing the payment of
interest on bonds in coin has been questioned,
and the pledge of the receipts from customs to
be collected in coin for that purpose has per-
haps facilitated the operations OF those dis
posed to enhance the price Of gold for specu-
latiye purposes, the Secretary is Of the iopin-
ion that these measures were not only wise
but necessary at the time and greatly aided
in sustaining the public credit. atH sf-ew
The Presidents message has already given
Mr.. Fessenden's summary of receipts and ex-
penditures for the last fiscal year. The esti-
mates Of expenditures for the current fiscal
year, heretofore made, he increased rather
more than ninety mil ions, and states his pres
The Portland daily press., 1864-12-17

Believing the amount Of certificates of in
debtedness on the market to be too great, he
estimates receipt from that source Of only
SIS 100000, and estimates his total resources
The Portland daily press., 1864-12-17

Deduct estimated receipts from ordinary
sources, 1895 100000, there will remain to be
provided for by loans 1922 256,005. To this
should be added for redemption OF excess of
certi6catesof indebtedness, SAT ,385, 900, MAKE
ing the amount to be provided for by loans
1863, 9,621 ,0O5. Assuming the correctness of
these estimates, the whole debt on the first
day Of July, 1865, would be found by adding
the foregoing amount of $422, ,256 OO5. to the
estimated debt on July /, 1866, 50 223, ,064,6
giving 81 645 ,320682 as the amount of the
debt at the close Of the next fiscal year.
This calculation is made on the same basis
OF receipts as that assumed for the current
year Iaisiquite probable. in the Judgment
of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
that S3O0,00O,oOO may be received in another
year from that source, without the additional
legislation suggested by him. Should this
supposition be verified, and the new taxes
proposed for this year be laid and continued,
an additional fifty millions might be expected

expenditures of the year, viz. :--$4S2 374, 1873
OF, and it makes the whole amount to be pro-
yided from loans $50. .727, sos IL. But as this
would include so much OF the existing public
debt as would be redeemed, exceeding certif..
icates issued within the year, viz :--$SS ,S53,-
800 90, this sum Is to, be deducted from the
amount to be obtained by loans, viz $50
727, sos IL, showing the probable increase Of
the public debt duringI the year to be $482, ,374,-
1892, which added to 81, TAO, 800, ,4S9 49, would
! make the public debt on July !, 1855, s., ,223,-
: 064,6 ,677 81, subject to such increase as may be
occasioned should Congress not provide for
additional revenue, or should the income from
ordinary sources fall short of the estimates sub
mitted. I5art yid es sta asifgq ssT h9fgaass
Any estimate which may be made of the
probable receipts and expenditures for the next
fiscal year must necessarily be liable to still
greater uncertainty. Il This remark applies
more particularly to expenditures; for while,
If Hexisting laws remain unchanged, the amount
of revenue may be calculated with reasonable
certainty, 1t Is impossible to anticipate what
the exigencies of war may requires. On the
one hand this may call for increased effort,
and on the other it may be confidently hoped
that the great struggle is near its termination,
and that consequently, the estimate now sub
mitted will prove far beyond the wants of the
year. While any doubts remain, however, it
would be unsafe to assume any other basis of
calculation than one predicted upon the exist
ing state Of affairs. The receipts for the year
ending June 30, 1865, are estimated as fol-

who possessed sonnd and liberal views,
and VITO dared 10 execute them. We have

THE action of the late Democratic Stale
Convention just suits the country. II aas
fairly taken all the wind out oil the Repub-
ican sails. The entire proceedings were
such as 10 give our enemies no chance
whatever 10 misrepresent the Democratic
parry. rhe resolutions, not much over a
square, are pointed and TO the purpose /; not
atiem piing 10 settle or discuss matters which
properly belong to the National Chicago
Convention, which will assemble on the
Alb OF July next. Everything that was done
was characterized with that harmony and
good feeling rarely found in Conventions
composed of so many differen, heads
Upon The whole, We vie~ il as an indica.

The New York World, OF Saturday. says
The shililess expedienls of our honorable
Secretary Of he Treasury in regard TO the
price of gold have killed the export trade
of the port. The fluctuations in the official
price for gold certificates are not TO be ac-
counted for on auy known principle of f.
nance, and are in opposition 10 common
sense. The creates, gambler in the price
OF gold is the Treasury Department. The
export trade Of the port, and the remiltan-
ces of government, bonds to Europe, are
brough 10 a s,ardstill by the iniudicious f.
nancial measures of The government.

MAJoR GEEERAL JoHN C. FREMoSr is
causing quite a good deal OF flnliering in
the Abolition ranks, in relation TO the next
candidate for the Presidency, in that party.
MIR. Lincoln and friends are fearful OF Free
mont and his party: Fremont has already
secured the influence OF Horace Creole, e
Tribune sad several other papers OF like
Abolition noloriery. The German element
of that parry is also doing service for The
Rocky Mountain boy and Woody Horse
Abraham Lincoln is destined TO be shelved,
which is proper and right.

We have been having a great deal OF
stormy weather in this section, this Spring +;
keeping the roads as much unsettled as they
are with the army OF the Polomec. This is
the Gin day OF April, out of which we have
had three days stormy weather. The Month
OF March was very rough, open month
hard on the winter grain making it look
more discouraging than it has for several
years past al this period OF the season ysl
we may expect TO see a tolera5ly good
crop.
