The late Southern destructionists Of the

vengeance. They are mad. They are bel
iyerent and would like to clean out Congress

has discovered a mode by which Congress
can be brought to terms and the Southern
members elect obtain their seats. 1t would
have President JOHNSON enact Cromwellian
role. He should issue a proclamation de
clarlng peace restored. Then invite the
Southern members to their place in Congress,
if the latter refuse them admittance, then

THE GOVERNMENT FINANCES follow
ing statement we find in the Washington
correspondence of the New York Tribune 1t
presents a very gratifying aspect Of our fnan-
cial affairs:
''The fact is not generally known that the
financial condition OF the Government il very
much stronger than is made to appear from
the monthly report OF the National debt issued
by the Treasury Department In the monthy
balance sheet so issued no account has ever
been taken Of the funds belonging to Govern
ment deposited in the National Banks and
amounting at this time to over sl70, ,oo0, 900
1t is the opinion of the Comptroller of the
Currency that the Government will hold at
the close of the present fiscal year such
surplus over all expenditures of at least
S200, 100000. The requirements of the army
and navy will be comparatively nothing. as
they have supplies of every description on
hand and paid for from last years appropri-
ahons. The surplus on hand at this time,
estimating the currency value of the gold on
hand with other funds on deposit in national
banks and in the hands of the Treasurer and
Assistant Treasurers, must be at least S17O,-
000,UO0.
with this surplus, and that which will ac-
cumuate by the 18th of June next, the Sec
retary can pay off that portion of the tempo
rary loan not deposited by banks under
special arrangements for clearing house pur-
poses-say S50,000,o00. Ii can also pay off
all the certificates OF Indebtedness. which we're
reported on the 1st of February MS SOC, ,687,-
600. all of the one and two year s per cent.
legal tender notes, amounting to $780, 800,
and can also redeem about $50. OO0, ,000 of the
compound interest notes, which will leave
about 500, ,000.000 of the compound interest
notes that can be converted into $40 bonds,
and also the 7.30 notes as they may mature,
under the act Of the Sd of March last.
''ihis disposes of all the public debt. with
the exception ofthe legal tender rotes and the
fractional currency. The Comptroller is also
of the opinion that the common legal tender
notes should not be reduced unless an equal
amount of such reduction should be author
ized as an increase of the amount of the bank
circulation, recommended in his report. ;"
