EXPENDITURES

Estimated surplus OF receipts 81 ,652, Sls IL
The past due debt on the 3lst of Oct0-
ber beside the compound interest, the
United States and the fractional notes,
amounted to 81 ,373, ,920,0 ,09; debt due in
1865 and 1866, to Sl57 ,549, SAG ,46; debt
due i'll 1867 and 1863, to SS4S, 1923 ,59l 80
OF the latter item, $3.50 900, 900 consist Of
! $40 notes As they are convertible
into bonds only at the pleasure Of
holders, the Secretary desires to be au-
thorized to fund them, whenever il can
be advantageously done, in advance Of
their maturity To meet deficiency for
the present fiscal year he desires author
ity to SELL in his discretion, bonds of a
similar character, to reduce the tempo
rary loan, to pay maturing certificates of
Indebtedness, and also to take up any
portion of the debt maturing prior to
1869 that can be advantageously retired.
1T is not probable" remarks the Secre-
tsry, that it would be advisable even il
it could be done without pressing them
upon the market, to sell much larger
amount of bonds within the present or
the next fiscal year than will be neces-
sary to meet any deficiency of the Treas
ury, to pay the past due and maturing
obligations Of the Government, and a
part of the temporary loan, and to retire
an amount of the compound interest
notes and United States sufficient to
bring back tie business Of the country
to healthier condition But no harm
can result from investing the Secretary
with authority to dispose of bonds if the
condition of the market will justify it, in
order to anticipate the payment of those
obligations that must soon be provided
for"
The total debt on the lst Of July 1866,
is estimated at $4,000, 100000 The Sec
retary believes the whole amount may
eventually be funded at IA rate of inter.
est from to 81 per cent, and he sug-
gests the application of $500 900, 900 ker
annum to the payment of principal and
interest together, by which the whole
would be extinguished in from % to 224
years.
III. Internal Recenae.-The Secretary
recommends frequent and careful revision
of the system of taxation, with view to
its becoming always moro simple and
productive. For specific recommends
lions he awaits the report OF the special
commission, expected early in the pres
ent session. In reference to the South
ern States, the Secretary recommends
that the collection Of taxes accruing be-
fore the establishment therein of reven-
ue officers be indefinitely postponed; that
sales Of property for direct taxes be post
poned till the States have an opportuni-
ty of assuming those taxes, as the loyal
States did, and that all transactions in
valid for want of stamps be legalized 50
far as lies in the power ofCon0ress.

LA Register complains OF military in
reference, by force of arms, to take
from the sheriff of Parish A'Terry, sub
agent, who has been arrested by prize

the writ of sequestration and injunction
issued by State court claims. The cot

wealth against Major General Palmer
for aiding slave to escape, Judge john

ground that the requisite number Of
States had adopted the amendment
abolishing slavery before the constitu'

Legislature relating to slavery We're OF

proclamation declaring that slavery has

colored people to apply promptly to the
