The Wheeling Register will soon have
a fresh opportunity to become indig-
nant over the execution of another
member of the Surratt family. A son
OF the woman" whom General Harris
and several others, tried and found
guilty, and whom President johnson
sentenced and ordered to be hung, is now
on his way to this country under ar
rest, and is about as certain to be hung
as was his mother. Wetrust the Register
will not wait until after the death of
this lastsurvivor of President Lincoln's
assassins before interposing its tears on
his behalf Let them flow at once. In
stead of bewailing the mother any
longer, evince your respect for her
memory by denouncing in advance
any attempt to hang her son.

Secretary McCulloch reports a salts
factory condition of the national finan-
ces. The receipts of the year exceed
the estimates by Ss9, 9O5, 9O5, and the ex-
penses fell short of the estimates by
S2OO, 529, 235. The actual receipts were
500, 400, 9O5; and the actual expenditures
SSoi, S24 .22I. The balance in the Treas
ury, July l, 1866, was 1872, SS1, $40. and
the LIST of October Sl42, AIS, 7S9.
The amount expended during the last
hscal year for the redemption of the
public debt was $500, 32l ,725, and for in
teresI on the public debt, Sl33. O67. 7II.
The net decrease of the debt, for the
year ending June 30, was $3I 1896, 3S7;
october 81, the net decrease from Au-
gust 81, 1865, amUunted TO $206, $40. 56j,
MIR. McCullOch remarks that while
these statements are in the highest de-
gree encouraging, sit is not expected,
nor is it perhaps desirable, that the
same rate of reduction should be CON
tinued." He adds that ga further di-
minution of internal taxes, and IA mod
ihcation of the tariff. which Will doubt
less lead to reduction of custom du-
ties on many articles, will be required,
i'll order that production may be in
creased and life infused into certain
branches of industry that are now lam
gushing under the burdens which have
been imposed upon them" The whole
question of the reduction of the debt
Is forcibly argued by the Secretary; the
subject of specie payments is discussed;
and the following suggestions are offer
ed To remedy the mischief caused by the
huctuating basis of values:
First. In compelling the national
banks to redeem their notes at the At
lantic cities, or, what would be better,
at a single city.
second. In a curtailment of the cur
rency TO the amount required by legiti-
mate and henlthful trade.
Third. In careful revision of the
tariff, for the purpose of harmoniZinG
1t with our internal taxes, removing
the oppressive burdens now imposed
upon certain branches Ofindustrv, and
relieving altogether, or greatly reliev-
ing, raw materials from taxes, in order
that the product of labor may be en-
hhnced and productions and exporta-
ton increased.
Fourth. In the issue of bonds, pay
able in not over twenty years, and
bearing interest at the rate OF not over
hVe per cent, payable in England or
Germany, TO an amount sufficient to
absorb the six per cent. bonds now held
IN Europe, and to meet the demand
there for actual and permanent invest
Fifth. In the rehabilitation of the

that specie payments should be re-
