IHE NATIONAL FINANCES. The Sec
retary of the Treasury was most
agreeably surprised by the favorable
exhibit of the Federal finances of the
last month, and his ability to reduce
the public debt a little, instead of
seeing it increased, as he appre-
hended. The unexpected receipts
came chiefly from miscellaneous
items. The result is much moro salts
factory than that which WAS feared by
Mr.. "Culloch would have been.
NeyC- neless, this unexpected turn to
a gentleman having all the figures of
all the resources of the Government
before him, suggests the idea of q
"cash account orer." To the ac-
countant, this is just as alarming az
the "cash account Short" 1t is sure
to be ''short" before he gets it right.
There is one great evil that stares us
all, rs well as Mr.. McCulloch, in the
face. 1t is the falling off in internal
revenue. That shows the disturbance
at home, the diminution of domestic
prosperity, and the prevailing disor-
der in the enterprise and industry of
the country. Until quiet and conf
dence are restored by the re.estab-
lished equality of the States, no great
Improvement can be expected in our
domestic affairs, and Mr.. McCulloch's
cash account" will not balance with
much regularity.

The NEGRO VoTE-A SE1F-Ev1DESr
TRUTH. We are indebted to the New
York Times, a leading Republican
organ, for the following sound OPT
MON. 1t says:
1T is impossible that the whites
and blacks OF the South should be
mustered into opposition camps po-
lltlcally, withouta consequent hostili-
ty IL all the relations of life. Their
only hope lies in harmony of senti-
ment, based On n conviction of har-
mony of interest. And the systematic
crusade which is now going on, and
which tends directly to disturbance
OF these relations, may we'll cause

HURRY THE WHEAT CRop TO Ma

HCERY THE WHEAT Cnop TO MAR
KET. .-The accounts from all SECTIONS
OF the country concur III the state
ment that the wheat crop is larger
and more promising than for years
past. In addition to this, large
quantities OF wheat are being re-
ceiYed from California. single Ship,
the George Peabody, having arrived
at New York last week, from San
Francisco, with q cargo Of over 90,
900 bushels. Wheat is also being
shipped to this country from Europe,
and doubtless considerable quanti-
ties will continue to be received from
that quarter as long as the present
high prices prevail.
The prospect of peace in Europe
Will have the effect of reducing the
price of breadstuis in all the coun-
tries OF the old world, and will check
any tendency toward expectation
from this country. The crops of the
Middle and Western States will be-
gin to come into market in few
weeks, and then we may expect, with
q considerable degree of certainty,
that the prices will fall rapidly.
We, therefore, urge our planters
to hurry in their crops to market,
and reap the benefit of the present
high prices. The wheat crop of
Georgia will bring into the State
many millions OF dollars, and, if
speedily put upon the market, will
greatly alleviate the impoverished
condition Of our planters. We beg
oar planting friends not to wait for
higher prices, but to push the crops
forward at once. The price Will
surely fall, and, we believe, at q very
early day.-Augus'a Chronicle.

TERRIBLE Explosion. A boiler ex-
ploded on Thursday, in the estab-
lishment of Gearey Il Ward, cabinet
makers, 1,012 Sansom street, Phila-
delphia. Thirteen men have been
dug out Of the ruins-six were dead
and two expired shortly afterwards.
Twelve others are thought to be still
buried in the ruins. The explosion
shook the buildings for squares
around, causing great fright. The
boiler had been complained of as not
being i'll good order. At4 p. m, the
mill was stopped to pack the engine
piston. The hands were lying around
idle, and some had gone when the
explosion occurred.

The Presidents Southern tour pre-
sents quite contrast to his last years
trip to the West, for he has been met
with the greatest cordiality; and
though there has been no huge de-
monstrations, tie kindly feelings and
genuine and unaffected respect shown
him by all classes, proves that the
unreconstructed South will compare
favorably with other and more loyal
sections of the country. In his re-
cent tour, we are pleased to miss the
stereotyped harangues on the state Of
the country, the situation and pros
pect, and other controversial topics;
and in their stead we have simple ex-
pressions of gratitude for the recep-
ton accorded; and everything calcu-
lated to foment discord between
classes or politicians was sedulously
avoided. The result of this conduct
has been pleasing interchange of
ideas beyond the beaten track of poll
tics. LII Richmond, this was pecu-
liarly noticeable, and during the
interview between the President and
the citizens all restraint was thrown
off, and the conversation was as in
formal as if they had been guests
around the fire.side of a mutual
friend. For instance, on leaving, DIR.
Minnegerode remarked that he hoped
their visit was harbinger of better
things for the South. To which the
President replied, 81 am willing to
forget the past, and hope for better
things in the future

MORAL RESPONSIBILITIES. THE
London Times holds the United States
responsible for the failnre of Maxi
milian's Mexican Government, and
says that they must take up the work
of reconstruction and pacifcation,
although they will meet with resist
ance and opposing factions. whatever
cause or principle of policy they may
proclaim. This opposition, says the
Times, they must suppress, as the
French would have done, by force of
arms and With little respect to the
doctrines of nationality or indie
pendence. The work will probably
be troublesome, but as there will. nj

HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAIL
RoAD.-Some time within the last
two years, Wesley Thomas, fireman
on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad.
was SO severely injured by train
running OFF the track that it was
found necessary to amputate his
right arm. His right leg, too, is said
to have been severely scalded by the
steam which escaped from the loco
motive. Mr.. Thomas instituted n
suit against the railroad company for
damages to the amount, we believe,
of $4,000. The Mobile Register says
the case WAS decided in the Circuit
Court few days ago-the jury
awarding the complainint damages to
the amount of s. 1000, with 81, 900
Tor medical attendance.

The English papers fear that this
year will witness the dire shadow of
last years commercial eclipse. There
is i'll England a perfect dcarth of
credit, which is already painfully and
pinchingly felt, and much of it is
ascribed to the insolvency of the rail
roads, upon which many families
have depended for small incomes in
the shape of dividends. Money that
was borrowed when money was easy
to obtain, has now to be repaid, when
it is all but impossible to borrow, and
many families of moderate means are
casting their hundred year into an
abyss from which not particle of it
can ever return; and there is no help
for it; while pride, the dread of los
ing caste, and the dread of losing
situations prevent many n struggling
man from taking step which would
put an end to lifelong burden.

EXTRA SESSION OF A LEGIsLATURE.
We were little surprised to find the
following in the Wilmington Journal,
of Saturday. We did not think that
any session of q Legislature would be
permitted to be held in the military
districts, until after registration and
subsequent elections. The article
from which we extract is one strongly
urging the convening of the Legisla-
ture of our sister State, for the pur-
pose of adopting the penitentiary
system:
"The Raleigh Sentinel learns that
Gen. Sicliles is fully impressed with
the necessity of penitentiary, and
thinks it highly desirable that the
Legislature should meet, for the pur-
pose of adopting the system, if for
nothing else. Be this as it may, we
take it for granted that the Legisla-
ture will meet, according to its ad-
journment, in August, unless sooner
convened by the Governor, and at
present we can see no purpose for
such course, and we do not believe
that Gen. Sickles will interfere in any
way With its meeting, whatever may
be his individual opinion of the neces-
sity of the session. He can certainly
have no desire to interfere with the
ordinary civil administration of the
State, unless it interferes with the
purposes for the consummation Of
which he has been placed in military
command over the Carolinas. Re
construction cannot be impeded bJ
the meeting of the Legislature. AMI
may be very much promoted by the
assembling together Of the rcprescn-
tatives of the people at this time"

r.patriatIon pon,t Pay.

Our attention has been called to a
lfact which proves conclusiyely that
expatriation don't pay. Of the large
number of Sontherners who, in the
first pangs of disappointment at the
result of the war, expatriated them
selves, very few now remain involun-
tary exiles. Three-fourths of those
who went to Mexico have returned;
some went to Europe, and very few
may still remain in Mexico. And it
has been the same elsewhere-Soutb-
ern colonies in Brazil and other places
have proven failures. Of all the ex-
patriated Headers or office holders in
the late Confederacy, but one-J. P.
Benjamin-is apparently the only
one who has at all prospered.
On the other hand, those officers
and leaders on the Southern side of
the struggle, who remained at home,
have, without exception almost, done
we'll for themselves and for the recu-
peration of the land they love. Gene
rails Lee, Hampton, Beauregard and
others, after the fall of the cause,
settled down and went to work at
various occupations, all tending to
aid in the rescue of the South from
her shattered and impoverished con-
dition. If they are not becoming
wealthy, as in former times, they are
living comfortably, have friends
around them, and have, above all,
the satisfaction of knowing that they
are doing their duty rs nativc-horn
sons of the sunny South. For all
this experience in the past, there are
still some who make the effort to
seek their fortunes elsewhere, as oc-
casionally, up to this time even, we
observe squads of emigrants sailing
from the South to one point or an
other. They will return sadder but
wiser men, after enduring many
hardships.

The INCOME TAX.-It is very Justly
said that income returns are very un-
satisfactory, being subject to very
erroneous interpretations. No just
estimate of the incomes of men en-
gagged in commerce or production
can be formed from the returns
Many men must pay for the last years
taxes upon profits that were lost be-
fore they were realized. A great
house, that has just failed, in New
York, which, it is said, will have to
return an income Of SS00,000; and
many men who have not failed, and
who do not mean to, return large IN
comes, but are really poorer than
they were before their profits we're
made, for they have lost them, and
more with them.

WEST PoINr-THosE SOUTHERN
GEADUArEs.--We noticed, few days
ago, q paragraph from the New York
Times, in relation to Southern gradu-
ates at West Point. The New York

from its correspondent at that place:

WEST POINT, June 5. 1S67.-There
is short article III New York paper
of this date, casting reflections upon
the ability of Northern youth, stating
that of the honors of the class OF 81,
nearly all have been won by young
men from the South. This paper
seems to ignore, or be unaware Of,
the fact that, when the present gradu-
ates were appointed in 'G3. there were
large number Of appointments Mt
the Military Academy left vacant in
the seeded States. These vacancies
were filled by the President mostly
from the ranks OF the army, by men
who were of Northern birth and
Northern education. OF the few
from the South, all have the most
loyal antecedents. OF those particu-
larlv mentioned, Rutfner, appointed
from Virginia, is native Of that
State, but OF that loyal portionhWest
OF the Blue Ridge; Mallery, Rogers
and Haupt are natives of Pennsylva-
nia Sears is from Ohio. Grifith's
home is in Iowa, and Pitman's in
Rhode Island; Bell and Mcguire are
from Tennessee. 1t will be no strange
story to those who know the academy
to hear that sectionalism is unknown
and merit alone secures academic dis
tinction at West Point.

tise. If they try it regularly and
