THE GOVERNMENT FINAxcRs.-A special
despatch from Washington to the New York
Tribune says: -.
"The fact is generally known that the
financial condition Of the Government is
very much stronger than is made to appear
from the monthly report of the national
debt issued by the Treasury Department.
In the monthly balance sheet 80 issued, no
account has ever been taken of the funds
belonging to the Government deposited in
the National Banks, and amounting at this
time to over $40, 100000.
It's the opinion of the Comptroller of the
Currency that the Government win hold, at
the close of the present fiscal year, sur
plus over all the expenditures of at least
S4OO,OOO,OiO. The requirements of the
army and navy will be comparatively moth
ing as they have supplies Of every descrip-
tion on hand and paid for, from last years
appropriations. Thessurplus on hand at
this time, estimating the currency value Of
the gold on hand, with other funds on de.
posit in National Banks ard in the hands of
the Treasurer and Assistant Tseasurers
must'be at least $4,000, 600.
With this surplus, and that which will
accumulate by the 18th Of June next, the
Secretary can pay off that portion Of the
temporary loan not deposited by banks OF
under special arrangements for clearing
house puposes-say $50,000,000. It can
also pay off oil tho certificates Of indebted
ness, which were reported on the LIST Of
February as $S0,637, 900, ali Of enc and
two year FIVE per cent. legal tender notes,
amounting to 1856, 900, and can also re.
deem about $4,000 of the compound in
test notes that can be converted into $50
bonds, and also the 7-30 notes as they ma.
ture, under the act Of the Sd Of March last.
e This disposes of all the public debt, with
the exception of the legal tender notes and
the fractional currency. Tho Comptroller
is also of tho opinion that the common legal
tender notes should not be reduced unless
an equal amount Of such reduction should
be authorized rs an increase Of the amount
of,the bank circulation, as recommended in
bis report.
