FINANCIAL.--Washingt telegrams
promise that the Treasury Balance
Sheet for the month Of April will
make a much better showing than it
did for the month of March. 1t Is
estimated that the aggregate OF all
drafts for April upon the Treasury
to supply the demands of the Navy
and War Departments Will not exceed
sever million dollars. The public
debt statement for the month will
show a reduction of the liabilities Of
the Government of about ten mil
lions. The receipts from Customs
still come in encouragingly. and
reached eleven million four hundred
thousand dollars for twenty-three
days. During the same period the
receipts from Internal Revenue
amounted to FIVE million nine hun
dred thousand dollars.

Go IT, ANDY.-President JOHNSON
proposes to relieve the Government
Of all expense incurred by the incar-
ceration of counterfeiters thieves. &c.
Ore Of his latest exploits IN the par
don business is the release OF SAMUEL
III. VENT, who was convicted on a
charge of embezzling the funds of the
National Mechanics Bank of Balti-
more. Counterfeiters, thieves and
defrauders of the revenue have had a
season of refreshing since the present
incumbent has been President. His
removal will reinstate the laws agains
crime, which he has virtually sus-
pended. and that alone should make
all honest men desire his expulsion
from office.

THE Ku-Klux are still operating in
Tennessee. On Sunday last Rev. l..
LINCOLN, a Baptist minister, residing
near Pennington, Marshall County,
was taken from the house Of a friend,
with whom he was spending the night,
brutally murdered, and his body
thrown into a sink hole. Mr.. LIN
COLIN was a discharged soldier, an un-
conditional Union man, and an elo-
quent advocate of the principles of
the Republican party.
A MIR. WILLIAMS, a very influential
Republican, of the same county, was
bushwhacked and severely wounded,
on the 2lst inst. 1t seems very strange
that the State authorities cannot put
a stop to these outrages. Il is evil
dent the assassins utterly disregard
Parson BROwNLOw's paper fulmina-
tions, and it is about time he was try
ing the virtue of powder and ball and
hemp. A few examples of that kind
will do more to suppress the murder
Gus Khan than all the proelamations
the Governor could issue between
now and doomsday.

from Georgia, remarks that the de-

NOTWITHSTANDING the grumbling
and evil surmisings INDUCED in dur
ing the early part of the year, it is
now conceded that the prospects for
the various grain crops throughout
the whole country are in excellent
promise. The reports from the East,
West and South are said to be very
encouraging. Under cover of the
long and late SHOWS. the wheat and
other fall sowings, together with the
grasses, have ben secured and pro-
tected. The fruit, also, has escaped
damage beyond the expectations of
the most hopeful. 1t is now very APP

lot a little a bove, the average.

WE are informed that the Repub-
licans of Philadelphia and New York,
contemplating to be in attendance at
the Chicago Convention on the 20th
of May, have chartered (the Phila-
delphia) three of Woodruf7s sleep
ing car palaces and the New Workers
SIC. This arrangement will avoid the
changes and delays incident to the
ordinary way of reaching Chicago
from either city, as these cars will be
run through without change. They
are also to be used for lodging pur-
purposes Will at Chicago.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says Cap
tain JOHN NJ. LORD, President Of the
Indianapolis Rolling Mill, has just
returned from New York, where he
succeeded in closing a contract with
General BURNSIDE for six thousand
tons Of rails from the Indianapolis
mill, to be used for the construction
Of the Vincennes Road. This iron
will amount to something in the
neighborhood Of half a million of
dollars.

ChIcago and
be Baltimore Amerjcan says:

The Baltimore AHeF1cdH says:
As an instance of the expeditions
manner in which produce is now
transported from the far West to the
seaboard, it may be worthy of mention
that the Empire Transportation
Company" have this week brought
through to this city, in four days from
Chicago, fourteen cars Of grain-seven
Of wheat and seven Of oats, In bulk.
These cars were transported over the
Northern Central Railroads extern
sion to the grain elevator at Jack
sons wharf, the time made from Chi
cage to the wharf being just four
days. It will thus be seen with what
surprising facility Western grain can
be shipped from this point to Europe.
By means of the grain elevator lately
erected at Jackson's wharf, II will
now be perfectly feasible to load a
ship with grain in somewhat less than
a week from the time her cargo starts
from Chicago to this, the nearest
point on the seaboard. We may also
mention, incidentally, as a small indi-
cation of the extent Of the provision
trade of Baltimore, that fourteen cars
Of bulk meats have been transported
by the Empire Line from Chicago to
this city IN the last few days.

A GREAT REVIVAL. - Centenary
Church, New Albany, Rev. JAMES
HILL, Pastor, has enjoyed one of the
most glorious revivals during the past
Winter ever experienced by any
Church in Indiana. Three hundred
and twenty-three persons joined the
Church, and two hundred and fifty
made a profession of religion. The
entire membership of the Church
now, is 679. The Church, although
expensive repairs have recently been
made upon it, IS too small, and the
members T seriously duscussing the
propriety of adding thirty feet to the
auditorium, making it 524 by 1O5 feet.
This prosperity must be very crafty
