While perusing the Reports Of MessrS.
Chase and Memminger, developing the
condition of the Golfers placed severally
under their charge, we have noted some
comparisons and contrasts, which we will
give in brief for the benefit Of our readers.
We will premise that our statistics cannot
always be placed in exact juxtapOsition
because the fiscal years OF the Federal Gov.
eminent close on the Both of June, while
those of Memmingers ''Confederacy' close
on the 3Oth of September. Nor must it be
forgotten that, in speaking of debt :,
''loans," "taxes," and the like, we are in
the one case treating of the fiscal affairs in
an established Government, which pays
the interest OH its promises in coin, and
where gold commands II premium Of from
40 to so per cent. on its paper currency.
while in the other we are speaking Of a
temporary instruction, whose chief pays
the interest on their insurgent promises,
(if they may be said to PAY at all, in paper.
fifteen dollars of which are required to buv
one dollar in gold. Therefore, while in ma
ny instances the amounts we state will be
nominally much alike, they are really and
practically very wide apart.
The debt Of the Federal Government. at
the close Of the fiscal year ending on the
S0th of June last, was $l,O9S, 1913, Isl. But
Of this sum $40, COZ, 600 existed before the
present war commenced. Hence, the debt
broke out, is about 81 ,02S, 100000.
The debt of the COnfederacy," on the
30th of September last, as stated by Mr..
Memminger, was, "exclusive of foreign
loans," 1894, 1863, l39. How much these for
eign loans amount to is not stated. Wheth-
er great or small, we fancy the holders. af-
ter reading Memminger's Report, will be
ready to sell out without exacting pre-
MUM from the purchasers.
Tho debit then. of the two (SOvQrnynnntc
stands, nOminally, at pretty much the same
figures.
The receipts of the Federal Treasury dur
ing the last fiscal year, were 1901 ,l25, Ga
Memminger gives his receipts for only the
nine months preceding September 80. Esti-
mating the remaining quarter at the same
ratio, his sum total would be $50, 223O, SPA.
But there is striking and most impor-
tant difference in the sources whence the
receipts Of the two Treasures flowed. For
examples: the Federal Treasury obtained
$50, O59, GAP from customs, payable in coin or
its equivalents, and $50, l25 $50 from inter-
nal revenue and from direct taxes, includ-
ing in this latter item certain tax advances
made by States, theprecise amount Of which
has not yet been adjusted at the Treasury
Department.
On the other hand, the Confederate cof-
fers estimating, for the reasons stated, for
one quarter) have received, duringtheir last
fiscal year, only $l,246, 397 from customs,
paid, doubtless, in its deprecated paper
and but S. ,505, 3l7 from taxes.

KIDNAPPING OF SUBsTITUrEs.-Three
substitute brokers recently kidnapped
three boys from Brandon, VI, the oldest
of whom was only l6, and took them to
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, where two of them
were sold as substitutes, being induced to
swear that they were from Canada, and

whose name is Ollery c. Wheeler and

citizen Of Brandon, refused to pe1ure
himself, and stoutly refused TO enlist. He
was then brought to Troy, kept three
days as a prisoner under the inhuenco of
liquor and sold rs p substitute. The

Black Republican Prayer.

Abram Lincoln-who art in the White
House at Washington-glorifed be thy
hame-thy Presidency come--thy will
must be done--as SET forth in the Chica-
90 Platform-giyo us daily the delight of
thy counsel-and lead us not into trouble
but deliver us from jeff Davis and the
Confederate army--and, o, Abram, we
beseech thee-to regard not the Consti-
tuition, but prosecute the war against our
Southern brethren and free dear Sambo-
so that ho may become white and equal
with ourselves. And we implore thy
royal highness TO gag the democrats and
their press that they may not speak evil
of thee or the republican party. Disre-
gard all State rights-the decision of the
Supreme Court-and suspend the hdbe-
as corpuS-for it becomes necessary, that
We may carry out our holy cause of
emancipation. Arrest all democratic of
tenders who sayeth auoht against thee or
thy administration-throw them into
prison-brand them with the name Of trai-
tor and tory, that we may be avenged for
thy sake. And we sincerely imploro thy
imperial majesty to oppose all compro-
misses for peace--for it will be dangerous
to our cause, will arrest the irrepressible
conflict, and restore the old Union as it
was.
o centralize thy power that we may
become a strong govcrnment-that the
people will kneel before thy Royal High
ness, and worship thee in spirit and in
truth-that thou art the Patriarch Abra-
ham, sent on the earth for the salvation
Of mankind, and poor Sambo in particu-
lar-rcmoye all democrats from office,
and remember thy faithful servants who
put their trust in thee.
And 0 we humbly pray that thou wilt
carry on the war with vigor-lay waste
the Southern murder the inhab-
itants-confiscate their property--ravish
their women and burn their cities and
towns.
And o Father Abram--when The
cries of the widow and orphan ascondeth
TO heav6n--and the wrath of the Great
Jehovah descondeth upon us for our wick
edness and cruelty, our grand armies arc
defcated-do thou open thy balmy bosom
and hide us from that vile rebel, jeff. Da-
Wis, and bis army-for thou art to rule
with power and glory, for ever and ever
