other bonds authorized by the act there remains
$40 600 Co., which may be issued either 1880 loan OF
as three years per cent compound interest notes.
or fractional currency authorized by the acts OF july
1862 and March, 1863 there remains about 10000 600,
which may be issued either In currency or some form oil
loan. OF the amount OF temporary loan authorized Oy
the act Of july H. 1862 there remains at Secreary
command about s5s OO0OOO Here is aggregate OF
ss4 600 which the Secretary may put out as loan
form other without action on the part OF
large as estimated but the amount from this source
from August 1865 to February ls6G, cannot be less
than 500 CO., and may be ten or fifteen mil.
lions more The receipts from castoms within taae
period will hardly be under s45, OO0OOo and likely
TO be something over that hgure Inc recelpis HoIi
all miscellaneous in the same period wiz reach
at least Ga 100000 Here Is aggregate OF revenud
not less than S19 0OO 00-and In ell cases am taking
the lowest estimates of any who can be considered
authority. while the estimates OF good authorizes
make the amount not less than 500 100000.
The amount Of gold now In Treasury 10 about
s3 600 600; and Of balances in the SnbTreasures to
the credit Of the Department about co. here
is an aggregate OF actual available means for the
coming six months follows: Loan sle4.OO0OOo;
from all sources, at least s79 1900; cash ON

again add that not a few gentlemen IN position 10
knowingly Judge OF the revenue receipts during the
period to the first Of Febrnary pus the amount at over
500 coo 900 instead of which figure USE
To this aggregate OF si2e COOC0O must be added as
part OF the capital with which the Treasury can be
managed during the Fall and Winter the authority TO
issue certificates Of Indebtedness without limit
Within year the amount Of this paper outstanding
was over $40 COO 1t ia now less than $40 COO Co.,
ana Of course sl00 100000 can be issued without any
particular detriment TO tie market. Here is grand
aggregate OF over S5O0,0oo,0O0. which the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury can nse between
this date and the LIST of February next l

OF course, il becomes now Important 10 inquire
what bills the Department must meet rrior 10 next FEB
ruary On this head preface by saying that the ag-
grerate estimates for the whole fiscal year ending win
next June are but about s6500o00 00 The main item
in this estimate Is $3.50 10000 for the War DEPART
ment-.or the whole year remember; or, say for the
intervening six months. $40 O0o0Oo Ibis was maae
on the superstition that should have large Dody o
troops in service till Fall that the wa might continue
through the Summer, that there would be the waste
and cost of much fighting that there would be ths e1

beginning OF the fiscal year. Yet only one mon,n
that has passed. and the army is but snado" Oh H'

a state OF active war speak on something moro
than mere guess work. even careful computation OF
6,nres when say tnat the Payuiaster-General will
ask for no more than OF most sl5OOoOOoO prior to Feb:
rrory and that S50000,ONO will more than cover all
other demands from the War Department.
The next most important item in the estimates FOR the
fiscal wear is SIP GOO eco for the Navy Deparmen-or
saw $50 OOOOOO for the half year. The state Of
facts which warrants the reduction ofthe War Depart
ment estimates about oneifth. gives authority for
saving that the Navy Department will ask for no moro
than Si0OJ0OCCO during the coming six months. For
tho c, u service pension list internal works, &c. &C.,
the aggregate estimate for the year was less than
500 100000 and may grant that about S 100000 OF
