Treasurer Spinner received letter last evening
from Mr. d. H. Wells, Special Commissioner OF Rs
Revenue, requesting true exhibit Of the receipts
and expenditures Of the Government for the current
fiscal year. Mr. Wells is in Norwich, Conn.,. and
having very carefully and critically examined Mr.
Delmars recent financial pronunciamento he wishes
to give the country the truth Gen. Spinner has
complied with the request, giving Mr.. Wells the
principal data of his forthcoming annual
report. Mr.. Wells will thus be enabled
to reply to Delmsr in very brief time
Delmars figures and assertions still the theme Of
comment with the principal officials Of the Treasury
Department, and the opinion Is unanimous that the
whole exhibit Is foolishly false and malicious. The
misstatements on the report are 30 numerous that"
would require too much space to enumerate them
but few of the most important can be given
Treasurer Spinner says that Delmar. in his exhibit
has omitted the cash on hand the Soth of June lass
amounting to &l5 600 which, of course forms part
of 1.-THE resources to meet the expenses of the
Government; ne estimates the receipts at s2l 60o~
and the expenditures at $474959,902, but omits the
money on hand, which, added to the estimated rs'
ceipts, gives $4s6,690.o00. Again. Mr.. Demar est'
mates the receipts from customs for the six montbs
ending Jan. l. 1862 at SO 100000 when the receipts
for the first three months OF that time. ending oa
Sept 80 have been over $49 oCo OoO and for the 81,
months will be at least $lO0,OOo,OOO, instead Oh
