Mr.. STEVENS introduced bill, which was
passed through all its stages, appropriating
thirty thousand dollars for refurnishing the
Executive Mansion. This is timely appro-
priation, as the wear and tear of the last four
years caused by the extraordinary pressure of
visitors to the President had reduced the
building to a state of splendid shabbiness
and dilapidation; and notwithstanding the
Presidents ell-known aversion to display,
it is due to the country that the Mansion,

will probably not exceed that sum. The
amount 10 be thus derived will depend, In .
great measure, upon the sales Of gold that
the Treasury may have in excess Of its wsnts)
and the rate of premium at which 1t is sold
This premium being new receipt Of moneys
in the Treasury, forms a part Of what Is
termed miscellaneous receipts" Should
there be large receipts from abandoned prop
crty, the estimate may be too small.
Any attempt on the part of the press to
show an improved condition of the Treasury,
over and above the exhibit of the Secretary,
will, we are assured, II successful, be hailed
by him with great pleasure. But his own
opinion, as expressed above, of the brighter
prospect ahead, is truly cheering newsto the
country, and is highly croditable to the sd-
of the Treasury Department.

OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION
CHEERING PROSPECTS.

The press Of the country has commented
very extensively upon the report of the hon.
orable Secretary Of the Treasury on the state
Of the finances. Nearly all the articles that
We have seen express the greatest surprise at
the favorable exhibit made of the present
condition and future prospects of the coun-
try, especially with reference to the pay.
ment Of the national debt incurred by the
war.
We have observed that some Of the leading
journals Of the country in the support of the
Administration express the opinion that the
estimates for the remainder Of the fiscal year
arc too high, and that the proceeds from the
revenue tax are put down at too small
figure.
We have taken considerable care to ascer-
tain what the real facts are concerning the
present and future of our national finances,
and are able and permitted to speak author
itstively on the subject
The Secretary Of the Treasury in making
bis estimates for the balance of the fiscal
year, was determined to be the safe side.
He has now good reasons for being satisfied
that the wants Of the War Department will
not amount to anything like ichat he 'caS lea
to suppose thy rrOuId. Many circumstances
have occurred, since the estimates were
made, to warrant the conclusion now reached
and believed by the Secretary to be correct
He is very confident that he can get
along, during the present year, without fur.
ther loan, and without increasing the public
debit and he is of the opinion that next year
he will certainly be able to diminish it very
much.
In the matter Of the estimated receipts for
the last nine months of the present fiscal
year it was calculated that the receipts from
customs would be 800, 900, 900. 1t is true,
tho receipts from that source during the first
quarter Of that year were s47, 900, 900; but it
by no means follows that similar results are
to follow for the ensuing nine months. The
heavy receipts for the first quarter were
caused principally from the demand to sup
ply the States lately in rebellion, which had
become, during the war, nearly bare of i'm
ported articles. They have now been partly
supplied, and it is supposed importations for
this purpose will be much less for the re,
mainder Of the year and consequently the
receipts from that source for the nine months
above referred to will not exceed the estimate
The receipts from internal revenue are
estimated for the mine months at SI75,-
900, OO0
The receipts from this source for the first
quarter were $9c 900, 900, but during this
period the annual income tax was collected,
which Of course swelled the receipts largely
beyond what could be calculated upon for
the remaining quarters. The Commissions
Of Internal Revenue was decidedly Of the
opinion that 1t would not be safe to estimate
The rsosiptS for the nine months beyond
SI7s, 900. 900.
The miscellaneous receipts are estimated

A LESSON IN CONIrY.-The London Times
calls upon our Government to state what it
will do in case of an attempted raid by the
Fenians upon Canada, and says that We have
not acted in this matter wise or dignihed

paper whose editors are the owners of tens OF
thousands of Confederate bonds which has
given every sort of encouragement and sup
port to rebel meetings in London and Liver
pool and which Is the authorized exponent
Of government that permitted the building
and equipment of Confederate cruisers in It's
ports, and bestowed the encouragement and

The BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILOAD, AND
THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY.-We give place in
our columns to-day, to the address of Mr..
John W. Garrett, made to the Board Of Di-
rectOrs of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company on his reelection as president. The
large interest owned by the State and city in
that road, and its great Importance to our
commercial prosperity, attracts always at
tention to the management of its affairs.
The statements embraced in the speech with
reference to the present and especially the
future of Baltimore in Identification with the
road and its expanding connections are very
important.
We are glad to realize therefrom that our
city has an immediate prospect of dividing
with Philadelphia the trade of Pttsburg and
the Northwest that our geographical advan-
tages in relation to commerce with the South,
West, and Southwest, may now easily be Sc.
cured by tapping the Virginia and Tennessee
road that the voluntary action of the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad Company will insure
by the completion Of the Pittsburg and Con.
nellsvile road, and of the road from Point OF
Rocks to Washington, a communication by
IN air line from St. Louis to Washington,
and thus remove the pretext for congres.
sional legislation authorizing new roads
through this State without the consent OF
the Legislature.
We are glad also to feel that we are about
to realize the benefit of direct commerce be.
tween Europe and the city of Baltimore by a
line of first class steamers, equal to those
employed in the same trade in New York and
Philadelphia, and succeeding our present
successful experimental line. These are CON
clusions which this community scarcely eI'
pect0d to reach in so brief period after the
struggle through which we have passed.
They open to us glimpses Of n prosperity
which we may well rejoice to see.-BGht'

Secretary McCulIoch and ComptrolIc,
Clarke.

OIhrkes
Speaking of the wisdom Of the appointment
by President LINCOLN, of the Hon. HUGH
McCuLLocH to the important Office OF secre-
tary Of the Treasury, the New York Herald,
Of the 18th inst, truly says:
"MR. McCULLocH's recent report reveals
a knowledge Of the resources of the country,
its financial career from its commencement to
the present time, as well as thorough com.
prehcnsion of the question of government
finances in all its bearings, both in theory
and practice. We have not had public
man during the last thirty years who can
compare with him in practical financial
knowledge, or who was so complete master
of the subject. Events have shown that both
Secretary McCulloch, and Mr.. Clark, Comp
troller of the Currency, are the right men In
the right place. The Treasury, under their
auspices, is administered as 1t should be,
from q financial standpoint"
In its issue Of the 18th the Herald adds:
1--WE find much to admire in the report Of
the Secretary Of the Treasury. Mr.. McCul.
loch understands our financial position much
better than the fnanciers Of Great Britain
did that of their country after the wars with
Napoleon. His constitutional arguments do
not amount to much, but on the financial
question he is sound, and if Congress directs
the resumption Of specie payments Mr.. Nc
Culloch is the man to secure 1t. This is the
first time within our remembrance that q
sound, practical man has had the manage
ment of the financial affairs of the country. 1"
Now, If it turns out that Secretary Nc
CULLocH continues to do right, though in
doing so he should conflict with some crazy
theory which the Herald will present in a
few days, for it cannot run long on the track
without running off, We hope the veteran
editor will remember what he says now, that
