THE REvENUE-LRTTER FROM SEC
RETARY MeCIrfE0rFH

The following important letter from
Secretary McCulloeh, has been addressed
to the Chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, March 1G,
1868" Dear Sir.-The abolition Of the
duty on cotton will reduce the revenues
some $20,000,000. The billwhich has re-
Gently passed the House, and is now before
the Senate, aboloishing after the lat of
May next the taxes on manufactures and
other productions imposed by sections "a
and 90 of the act Of June 80, 1854, and
enumerated in table H in the report Of the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue for
1867, pages 1886, 1876 and 1897, with certain
exceptions, will, it has been estimated, eff
feet a reduction of some $50, 900, 900 on the
basis of the last years revenues.
1t must also be borne in mind that this
large reduction of the revenues from the
internal industries of the country will have
the effect of reducing the general level of
prices throughout the country, and thus
tend to interrupt and to lessen importations
and, therefore, to diminish the customs
revenues A considerable portion Of the
ANNCuuCH rAi0Ah tuctOluS
during the last two fiscal years, and which
are still maintained, are due, in no incon-
siderable extent, to the fact that the high
prices in this country have made our market
a desirable one for the sale of foreign pro-
ductions.--A so great a reduction Of prices
as will be effected by the contemplated
legislation cannot, | repeat, but have a
tendency TO reduce importations, and, con-
sequently, to impair the revenue FROM
customs.
Should the bill referred 10 become a law,
| think il may be fairly estimated that the
total revenues for the next fiscal year will
fall from a hundred to a hundred and
twenty millions below the estimates made
in my last annual report.
1t is exceedingly desirable that taxes
should be reduced, and should hail with
pleasure the proposed reduction, if | felt
assured that it would be accompanied with
a corresponding reduction Of expenditures.
] am free to say that am greatly appre-
hensive that such reduction of expendi-
tnres will not be made, and that the reve-
nues of the country for the next fiscal year,
if the bill now before the Senate, or in the
hands Of your committee, should become a
law, will be insufficient to meet the inter
est on the public debt and the current ex-
penses Of the government earnestly
ask that the Finance Committee will give
the subject careful consideration in all Its
bearings, before reporting favorably on the
bill referred to. Nothing could be more
disastrous TO the credit of the government
Mt the present time, than such reduction
Of taxes as would create a necessity for an
increase of the public debt.
Very truly yours,
II. MCCULLOCH,
Secretary of the Treasury.

A LEAP-YEAR swINDLE

coldness had driven her to desperation !
which, among Young isdies, means a re-
sort to strategy to accomplish what they
cannot do by fair means The young lady,
presuming upon her leap-year privileges,
and upon VS. belief in spiritualism, and
his respect for the name of his deceased
mother, employed a celebrated medium
and had meeting arranged to which Mrs.
w. was invited. On the evening proposed
the parties were present, and the spirits in
glee. The shade of WIS mother appeared,
and, according TO instructions, discoursed
eloquently upon the virtues of Miss NJ,
and finally asked w. TO clasp her hand.
In obedience to this voice from the grave
he did so, not, however, without qualms ;
aud while in this position, 10 has horror

risge ceremony. When through, the young
man was coniured in the same tone TO re-

bunal. W. couldn't see it, and bolted,
minus his overcoat and hal. Thus grief

The state Bonds and Credit.

The Smyrna Times says: "Hon. N. B. Smitners,
in his allie speech in this town on Saturday night,
in referring TO the national debt contrasted the
Government bonds with the Stale bonds. Inc
State issued bonds to the amount Of one million
one hundred thousand dollars ($1 .100,0Qo) to
keep from filling up the army. These bonds,
shortly after they were issued, were offered Tor
sale in Wilmington, but not purchaser came
forward to take them-not even aDemocrat-pe,,
cause they were not exempted from taxation ana
contained no dividend warrants. In order TO get
them taken the State Treasurer, upon his own
responsibility assured those desiring to Invest
that they would be exempt from tax, and the
Legislature had to make the Treasurer's declara-
tion good and other bonds, with coupons attach
ed, had to be printed before the Democrats would
take them tall. And now they are selling con-
siderably below r,whe the Government bonds
are selling considerably above par notwithstand-
ing the interest upon them is taxed as income by
the Government
''These State Bonds are held almost entirely by
Democrats, who would be horror-stricken at the
idea of the State breaking its faith by taxing
them, aud to talk of repudiating them would
cause general disaster.
''The refusal of the P. w. 81 B. r. r. Co. to
longer pay the ten cent tax on each passenger
carried Into, out of, or across the State (Which
went TO pay the interest on these bonds) has
caused considerable uneasiness among the hold
ers. and they are being disposed of as rapidly as
possible, at large discount, notwithstanding the
pledge of the state"
