CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS
FINANCIAL.

In consequence of the amendments made to
the Tax laws by Congress, and which were
unnecessarily deferred until the last DAYS Of
the session, the sixty millions due to the Gov
eminent from the people on account Of the in
come tax, could not this year be collected as
heretofore in July, when business is dull, and
the drain from circulation but little felt; but
was necessarily deferred until September
when the active fall trade usually sets in.
The anxiety feltin commercial circles as TO the
embarrassment likely TO result from this cause,
has been relieved by the official announce
ment of Secretary McCulloch that after the
26th instant all temporary deposits in the
Treasury, except the clearing house GER
tificates, will cease TO bear interest. The
effect of this decision will he that
the deposits, which amount TO sixty nine mil.
lions, will be Withdrawn before the close of
the month. We agree with the Philadelphia
Ine1arsr that this is a master stroke of policy
on the part of the Treasury Department, and
will add that ii is but another evidence of the
eminent fitness of Secretary McCulloch for the
position he occupies. The ten millions of in
te2oet due on the first series of Seven-thirties
Dw being disbursed, which, with the SO,
go falling due on The 27th instant, will
mike SSO,0t0O0O payable out Of the Treasury,
TO offset the S6O,OOO,0C0 of income tax, payable
into the Treasury, thus adding S2OOOO,COO to
our circulation for business purposes

EXTREMES MEET

1t argues well for the patriotism of the
President and the wisdom and prudence of
his restoration policy, that since the great
National Convention adjourned, the radical
disunionists of the North and of the South, are
alike bitter in their denunciation of the Ad-
ministration, and of the Declaration of Prin.
ciples adopted at Philadelphia. Thus the
Philadelphia Press. Baltimore American, and
other papers of the same political school, are
now laying before their readers choice extracts
from the most malignant of the Southern
journals, going to show that the South too is
not satisfied with the Presidents psIicy.
Well, what of it 1t will be a hopeful sign
when the mass OF the people, North and
South. unite in favor Of a policy Objectionable
to extremists in both sections
