The Secretary Of the Treasury yesterday trans
mitted TO the House OF Representatives. the re-
port OF the special commissioner (Hon. David A.
Wells) Of the revenue. II 10 an ably drawn up
document Of ninety pages, treating upon the
sources OF national fsyenuei the best methods Of
collecting revenue, the administration Of exist
Ing revenue laws, and the relations Of foreign
trade to domestic industry. Among the recon,
mendations Of the report are the following: That
all expenditures for the navy, army, and public
works be reduced to the minimum; that so long
as the necessities Of the nation arc paramount TO
those Of individuals, no claims for damages sus-
tAined In consequences OF the rebellion be either
paid or consideredj that the department employ
ees be reduced TO the minimum number requisite;
that no money be appropriated for the further
purchase Of foreign territory, and that no com.
mereiai treaty with any foreign nation be ratified
the customs revenue. With this economical
policy, the aoyernment expenses might be re-
duced 10 tl4o00o,0oo allowing the taxes on large
number OF articles to be dispensed with. The
commissioner recommends that the income tax
law be so amended that the exemptions shall ap-
ply only TO incomes which are not In excess 81
l,boo or eaiooo that the tax on distilled spirits
be reduced to tfty cents per gallon; and that the
stamp system be adopted In tho sale Of tobacco.

RErREHCHMENT.

There has come to be great deal Of talk about
this word retrenchment, and both parties are Just
now mouthing II with incessant voiubtlity. It 10
to be, doubtless, one Of the issues In the coming
campaign, and the changes will be rang upon II
"till sides and benches fall"
The people desire wise and judicious retrench-
ment, no hap-hazard way Of doing the thing No
piddlins, small potato processes, or penny-wise
and pound-foolish system will answer In times
like these. There must be discrimination and
judicious adjustment Of the Expenditures OF the
Government In some departments there can DO
q large reduction Of expenses without detriment
to the public interests. Our army and navy can
be placed upon purely peace foundation and
there may be very large reduction TO the expendl
lures In these departments. II 10 q fundamental
doctrine with democratic and republican form
OF government that q standing army In time Of
peace 10 not to be tolerated. We must therefore
proceed a. soon as possible to place our army and
navy upon peace footing. We have beea pay
ing vast sums TO carry on our Indian war. All
this must henceforth cease and We must inau-
gurate policy in our dealings with the Indian
tribes that will, possible, forever prevent hos-
Utilities with these savagcs. We must devise q
more simple and easier and vastly cheaper method
OF collecting our internal revenue q system
gigantic swindles as arc known to have been prao-
tiscd In this connection, no Government on earth
but ours could or would stand.
In any other country such swlndlers would
have been imprisoned or transported for life. All
these frauds can and must be stopped. We can
consolidate our debt, and reduce all OF our
bonds topper cents, and nnd plenty OF purchasers,
and herein we should make great saving. Hay
ing done these things, and many others OF a kin
dred nature, we need not distress ourselves any
longer about giving the additional % per cent to
the elarks In han -, ~.

Does the south Need Material Aid,

We do not In the least doubt that there 10 much
exaggeration In respect to the distress which ex-
lists among the freedmen and many Of the whites
In the South; still, when statements come to US
from all parts Of that country-statements thAt
are on the authority OF men who are thoroughly
reliable, and men, too, who are eye-witnesses Of
what they relate, there cannot, II appears to US,
be much room for doubt In respect to this one
fact, that there must be much suffering there.
Congress will be appealed to in this behalf, and
the question Is, what will It dot 1t would seem
to be an imperative necessity that this question
OF affording relief to these sufferers, whether
black or white, should be lifted from the domain
OF party politics. and we should remember only
that we are men, and that those suffering ones
are our brethren.
II 10 said that they are our enemies. In war
they were but the war Is oyer, and peace reigns.
1t Is true that there may still rankle In their
bosoms and In ours the remembrance Of old feuds,
but the these are dismissed the better will
II be for us and for them. A little timely aid
from US to them will contribute more to Danish
old resentments than anything that can be done
Whether or not the whites OF the South are our
enemies, we have the counsels of the Wise
Teacher, "If thine enemy hunger, feed him; II
he thirst, give him drink. BY so doing thou shsl,
heap,coals of hre upon his head"
We say, then, let Congress and let the benevo.
lent do all they for these people, and the re.
suit must be salutary. H.
