oFT1cE OF THE EVENING TEIEsEAPH.(

Monday, August D, 1867.
The current quotation tor gold this morning
was 140a. The Secretary Of the Treasury Is
urged upon all sides to sell the surplus gold of
the Treasury, and certainly there could be no
better time to do so. That officer has now an
opportunity to retrieve the memorable blunder
of May, 1866, when, with gold at l30, and the
Bank of England rate OF interest at 10 per cent,
he depleted the Treasury at the lowest price.
The question is often asked why, with money at
2 per cent in England and gold at lao, he does
not promptly give the market 2O,O00,OOO, and
use the proceeds in destroying 81 900 900 OF plain
legal-tenders per month. This policy would
relieve him from the almost universal 1mputa-
ton of running with the inAatonists and gam
blers in gold tor a rise and from the charge OF
cowardice in living up to his declaration ABOUT

Mr.. Pierrepont resumed his argument on behalf OF
the prosecution and proceeded further TO consider
the Lloyd testimony, which shows his unwilllngness
to testify against Mrs. Surratt The testimony read
also relates to the hed-glass and carridgebox and
TO whom II was given the night after the assassina
tOn. Referring TO the testimony where Lloyd said
he did care TO hear the of the assassination,
Mr.. Pierrepont said the reason he did not wish TO
hear about IL because he knew oil about the
assassination before II occurred.
Mr.. Bradley was right wnen he said Lloyd knew all
about IL. Why did not Lloyd wish 70 talk about the
assassination He gives as reason because he feared
Mrs. Surratrs name would be drawn in. Mrs. Surratt
had gone 10 Lloyds In the day time and had given
orders relative to the arms and the bottle Of whisky

the Government respecting the inspection OF
the Papal troops by q French general, which
they declared to be hagrant violation of the
September Convention, and on the armaments
and enlistments which were being made, IL was
supposed, for the invasion Of the States of the
signor Rattazzi. in reply, said that he be-
lieved the rumors of the ornaments were ex-
aggerated, and declared that they were being
made by the Romans themselves. He did not
consider IL necessary for him to contradict the
reports that the Italian Government had
assented to or Indirectly participated in these
preparations. He said that those were under
delusion who believed that the Italian Govern
ment would tolerate any violation of their en-
gagements. The Roman question must be
solved by moral means. Explanations had
been, he said, demanded of the French Govern
ment as to the reported inspection, which
would be contrary both to the spirit
and the letter of the Convention, which
Ratazzi denied that any arrange ment had
been entered into with France for the restitu
tion of Roman deserters, and no representa-.
legion should be regarded as an indirect inter-
vention on the part of France. He believed
the execution OF the convention, would not be
the first to violate 1t.
to enter their territory and endeavor to obtain
freedom for their country.
Signor Ratazzi, in reply, declared that he
would always cause the territory subject to an
other Government to be respected,
Preparations to Resist an Attack on
Rome.
From the CoTTteTe ItdLidn0.
Preparations are being made at Rome to resist
an attack by the revolutionary party. Cardinal
Antonelll h. 8 addressed inquiries to the repre-
sentatives of foreign powers, asking them what
steps their Governments would take If IL could
be proved, FIRST that the insurrection broke out
with the connivance of the Italian Government:
second, If the revolutionists should arrive at
the gates of Rome; third, If the insurrection
should break out in Rome itself The Ambassa-
dors replied that they would protect the Pope
and the Cardinals, but that they must refer
home for instructions as to what more than this
they ought to do
Garibaldi Makes Another Speech.
Garibaldi, on entering Pistoja, was received
with veritable ovation. Addressing the crowd,
he said:-"I know that all your demonstrations,
so flattering, so enthusiastic, are addressed not
to the man, but to the principle, and they teach
me that the national cause is progressing. The
Italians do not want forei yn pressure; your de-
monstration of to-day is proof of that We
want to see Italy strong and powerful. Rome
must be ours, in spite of internal enemies and
all foreign despots. Old though l am, firmly
hope TO go with you to Rome. Adieu."

THE RUSSIAN LOAN.
Operations OF the Imperial Contractors
In Paria, Amsterdam, and london.


From the London Times (city article, July 20.
The feeling against all new issues of securi-
ties seems to be as strong at Paris as on this
SIDE The letters from the Bourse allude to the
circumstance of the Russian Government who
had thus far confined their financial operations
to England and Holland, having now also
Iesorted to the French markets. According to
these advices the following are the operations
alleged to have been agreed upon:- MN. Plllet,
Will, Fould Co., Hottngner, Mallet, Freres,
Seillieres, MaTcusrd, Andre d Co., Pinard, and
or two less important houses, with Messrs.
Barring, OF Lonuon, and Hope, of Amsterdam,
have contracted to issue for the Russian Govern
ment bonds representing SOC, ,000,0 000f equal to
1000 0O0) nominal capital, The bankers to
take only one-fOurth firm and three.tourths TO
be on commission. The issue price to be 3O7f
50c for every bond (obltgaton) of 5O0f., with
yearly interest of 20f., and repayable at par by
eighty-four yearly drawings The commission
allowed TO the bankers to be 20f. per bond on
those taken firm, and l0f. on the optional.
Moreover, the Russian Government, in order to
aid the success of the loan, grant a sum of
about L. ,OOO, ,OOOf. for advertisements, premiums,
etc.
1t appears, however that the participation of
the contractors in the three paces-London,
Amsterdam, and Paris-is not on an equal foot
ing. Messrs. Barring and Hope take firm only
27,0O0 bonds each while they are to have the
option each for a further 10000 bonds and the
bankers of Paris take 96, 900 bonds firm, with an
option for another 10000 only. The fact that
special guarantee OF the Ncolai Railway ac
companies tne loan is releIreu 10 IN an adverse
instead of favorable sense by those Wh0 seem
opposed to it. Notwithstanding the bad state
OF the Russian finances and currency" it is said,
''it has not hitherto been supposed that she had
arrived at the stage where special guarantees
become an essential condition for raising
money! One writer observes:-"We do not
believe that in Russia 1t will ever be possible
either to sell or seize property belonging to the
State, and thus this guarantee appears on the
one side unnecessary, and on the other totally
illusory." The subscr ption Is TO be opeued the
first OF next month, in Paris, by the Compton
dEscompte.

Dehcit OF the he-oenue from the Customs
and Direct and Indirect Taxes

N"O BNeC< Rnd Indirect Taxes
FoTtS GUY lSl Correspondence Of London Times.
=. The returDs which the MonHeaT publishes of
the revenue for the first SIX months Of the cur
rent year show that the amount calculated upon
mas not been realized. As those calculations are
always based on the return OF the year immedi-
atelY preceding the last, those of 1865 were
taken for those of the present year. Besides the
sums specified in the Budget OF Receipts, an
augmentation in the latter was counted upon OF
$4,000, 900 francs for the year. As therefore,
the indirect contributions produced during the
first six months of 1866 total of 562, 600, 900,
the Minister OF Finance thought himself jnsti-
ned in counting upon 597 900 for 1866, and
on 642,O00,0O0 for the first half of 1867. The
primitive Budget Of 1867 comprised the same
figures as that of 1856, but to the amended
Budget (Bttdget rectyicdtg) is added a sum Of
96,000000, Tor expenditure, and 1t was hoped
that this expenditure wo1d be covered by a
corresponding increase in the receipts As
regards 1866 the calculations were realized,
for in 1865 the first six months produced
597, 900, 900, and in 1866 they produced 609 00O,
900. But in 1867 the result is different, mas
much as the amount obtained Is only co., ,000, 900,
or Al, 600 600 less than was calculated upon, and
then 4l,000 900 have been spent in advance. 1t
is remarked as strange that, whereas, IN 1866, q
year of war, there was considerable augmenta-
ton IN the receipts. in 1867, the year of the
great Exhibition, and as was generally assumed
ear Of financial prosperity, there is actually
q falling off, This anomaly, real or apparent,
JIG shown from a comparison between the first
six months of 1865, 1866, and 1867 respec-
tiVely:-

In the first column the total tmount of the
augmentation is greater than that of the dlmi-
mutton, but in the second the dimnution exceeds
the augmentation. As regards the indirect i'm
posts, hardly any one of them gives for 1867
an augmentation similar to that of 1865, while
many present considerable diminuton. The
registration duties, however, have increased by
9,500,O00 from 1865 to 1866, and only $500, 900
from 1866 to 1867. This is to be ascribed IN part
to the suppression of the denli- decline. Stamps
increased by 100000 in the preceding period,
and only Ia, 4,000f. in the present one. There is
slight advantage in customs, though the con-
sumption OF tobacco is not in proportion to the
number of visitors to the Exhibition, from whom
much was expected. Many of them, suppose
do not smoke at all, or, if they do, they have
probably brought their own tobacco with them.
The duties on drinks produced in January of
the present year 5,398 000f. less than IN the
responding month last year; in February, 1885,
O00i. less; and in March, 2,075, ,000t For the two
months of April and May together there is an
augmentation OF Lib, ,000f; tor June diminu-
tion of 1851, ,00Of. The other indirect imposs
are pretty much the same as usual. In respect
of the direct taxes there is falling of-slght,
however. as the ive-twelfths payable on demand
have been exceeded by as, 100, ,0O0f., in lieu of
as 995, ,000t. in 1866 And, moreover, the legal
expenses incurred in their collection are in the
proportion of 0'78, whereas they were in 1866
but 0'73.
