A Rry UPON THE TREASURY.

The Cincinnati COMMERCIAL publishes q table
made up of demands, In the shape Of subsidies,
upon the National Treasury In aid OF rail-.
roads, steamship lines, sc. The schedule
names some eleven different projects, and the
total amount asked for figures up In the nice
little sum Of sass, $50, 900. Now, whether all
these different schemes to obtain Government
aid are TO be brought before Congress or not,
we cannot say. One thing 10 pretty certain,
however, that, in the present condition of our
national finances, Congress will not consume
much time in considering these projects with
avlew TO issue Government bonds In their
behalf The idea that Congress will listen to
any appeals which may be attempted to be
made with q view to secure subsidies to any
thing like this amount asked for Is prepos-
ferrous.
While we would advise the projectors OF a
large m majority OF these schemes to abandon
all hope, II they have entertained such
thoughts as Governmental aid to this extent,
we would by no means be understood as
endorsing the notion OF some that the Gov
eminent Is never to grant subsidies to aid In
carrying on any enterprises that look to the
development of the resources of the country
We would have the Govern ment discriminate
and wisely discriminate. in the bestowal OF its
aid. We think there are schemes Of a private
nature Whlcn are NJ the same time OF SO much
advantage in national point Of view, as to
clearly demand Government assistance. We
DO not presume to-day to point out these spe-
eial enterprises, because we are not suf1-
ciently enlightened in regard to them to speak
wisely and intelligently in this respect. We
are now only careful to place ourselves on
record as not favorlng that universal exclusion
which some would-be guardians of the Treas
ury are so anxious to promotc.
As things now stand, one or two facts must
be obvious to every man who reflects at all
upon this subject. First, no projects that
contemplate Government aid to the amount
Of t25s $50 900 can be entertained for NONE Mt;
and secondly, In our present condition, fnan-
cially, nothing is likely to be done. It will
require all the wisdom OF Congress to relieve
our present entertainments, and this must be
done before we contract any new debts or EN-.
bark upon an unknown sea of new and untrled
enterprises

LONDON, April 20. - The trial OF Burke,

resumed this morning. 1t was proved that
Burke had purchased 500 rifles, with pistols
and ammunition, In Dece mber, to the amount
Of 900. On the REORGANIZATION, witness
showed some confusion In Identifying Shaw
and Casey.
II was proved the arms were sent from Biz
mingham to Liverpool, and that Burke, under
| the name OF Mustow, had resided in that city
about the time Chester Castle was attacked,
| and that he was intimate with prominent
| Fenians.
LONDON, April 29.-Further advices from
Paraguayan sources, admit that the gun-bosts
| had passed Humaita.
| BERLIN, April 20.-It is officially stated that
the reduction OF the Prussian army heretofore
announced, will consist of twelve thousand
| men.
LONDON, April 29.-Furthcr adyices from
Paraguay, state the Brazilian iron-clads had
passed Humaita under FIRE of its guns. They
were assisted in the perilous undertaking by
batteries which had been planted by the Allied
commander, and kept up a terrific FIRE during
the passage.
The killed and wounded on board the fleet
| number fifteen hundred. A reconnaissance had
also been made OF the position of the Para.
guayans, and It was ascertained that Lopez has
massed his army at the northern portion OF
| his lines. which renders the Abandonment of
Curupaity probable.

A RUMOR mas been set ahoat about Wash
ington for some days that General Gillem has
interfered In the Arkansas election. and that
he is Withholding his certificate of the ratifca-
tion of the constitution, on the ground that
the election was fraudulent, is totally I'm.
founded. General Gillem has nothing to do
with the matter. His Certificate is unnecessary,
and not required by law, and to interfere after
the returns show the constitution to be rati-
ned, would cost him his commission. All that
is required Is for the President OF the Consti-
tutional Convention to certify copy OF the
constitution and send It to the President. The
law points out the way and gives the military
commander n 0 power whatever after this stage
is reached.

1T Is GRATIFYING to be able to state on very
good authority that the fears expressed In
many Western journals some weeks back and
up to very recent period, that the cold
weather and frost had destroyed the fruit
prospects are not well founded. The damage
appears to be much less than was at hrst rep
resented. without going into details, we are
able to state that now most OF the Western
newspapers inform US that the yield of
peaches, plums, pears, and apples will amount
to more than an average crop. This is GER
talnly good news, aud as 1t is the concurrent
opinion Of many papers, based upon facts
stated by individuals who have examined and
know about 1t, 1t is encouraging.
