There has been great discovery of gold in
Duchess county. 1t Is ascertained by careful
exploration and examination, made by profess
sional gold discoverers, that there is as much
gold in the soil of Duchess county, taken alto
gether, as there is-in the soil Of any other
county in the State. The gold prospectors
have written report-we cannot say for how
much. According to this report it appears
that the ore in the veins of Duchess Is worth
something like thirty dollars q ton. To get
the ore out and work it would not cost more
than fifty dollars ton at the outside, so that
the owner Of first rate Duchess county gold
mine would not lose more than twenty dollars
on any ton of ore he might take out. This is
rather better than the North Carolina mines,
and great deal better than the Madoc mines
in Canada, or the mines that are regularly dis
covered from time to time in the other sections
in which people wish to sell land. Such mine
would not be very expensive luxury for a
man who had more money than he knew what
to do with but we hope that all others know
by this time that gold discoveries Of this sort
are among the oldest Of land-se!ling lodges,
and thus will not be led to have faith In the
quartz-bearing gold Of our up the river coun-
.y. Let that happy district cou=s on her
quarts Of milk, richly bearing golden butter,
as all the quarts she has Of peculiar value.

The Emperor Napolcon's Position.

It appears that the Baudin manifestations, as
they are called, in Paris are increasing, and
that the police is active in suppressng them:
These demonstrations, with the free express
sions of the liberal press and the revolutionary
movement in Spain, are regarded by some as
extremely embarrassing II not critical TO the
Emperor Napoleon. There is no doubt tha,
they are troublesome and tend to keep the
active brain Of his Majesty employed to fortify
his position. Bat Napoleon has shown him
self to be equal to great emergencies on pre-
vious occasions. and probably will be on this.
He has an immense and mos. efficient army
ready to act at home or abroad when neces-
sity calls for action; and he can most likely
depend upon this army. Should the revoiu-
tionary elements at home or on the border
become in the least dangerous to his govern
ment he has always means Of escape by
arousng the ambition Of the army and the
vanity Of the French people through foreign
war. A war with Prussia or Russia, or more
general war, combining the Latin Powers OF
Southern Europe against the Northern Powers,
would occupy the French mind and turn
aside revolution at home. Paris has been
90 much changed and lie so much under the
grip Of the Emperor that II Is no longer the
great central volcano of revolution that 1t was
formerly. After him may GENE the delrge
politically speaking bat while he lives he may
turn aside revolution from France.

The Report Of the Secretary or the Trea-

The Report OF the Secretary or the Trea-
We publish elsewhere an abstract of the
Forthcoming report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. The country will be gratfed to
learn that the national finances are in a good
condition, however practical experience may
show the contrary. The Secretary is opposed
to forced resumption of specie payments.
There he shows some sense. The funding
OF the public debt he regards as one step
toward resumption. or the seven-thirty bonds
1t appears that upwards of eight hundred and
twenty-seven and a half millions have been
funded into fve-twenty six per cent bonds
thus leaving Of the outstanding seyen-thirty
notes but little over two millions anl third.
Only a few millions of the outstanding COM
pound interest notes remain. The policy
of funding, by converting the temporary
loans, interest-bearing notes, &C., into six
per cent gold-bearing bond, has, in the opinion
of the Secretary, most important bearing
upon the question Of resumption. AS regards
contraction of the paper circulation Mr..
MoCulloch has no new views to offer. The
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1870, are estimated to be two hun
dred and fifty million dollars: The annual
interest on the public debt is one hundred and
forty million dollars. It is estimated that next
year it will be about the same. The internal
revenue for the year will reach one hundred
and twenty million dollars, leavngs out the
whiskey frauds and wholesale stealings by
revenue officials. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the public debt has been reduced during
the year, taking it up to the lst of Decem-
ber, 1868, about twenty seven millions. There
have been expended on account of the public
debt during the year the sum Of eight hundred
and eighty million five hundred thousand dol
lars, and the general taxation not increased a
dollar.
It will be interesting to the people to learn
from the above that the public debt is decreas-
ing, although in minute ratio as compared
with its magnitude. The Secretary's ideas about
the prospect of resumption of specie payments
may be accepted as reasonable in view of the
fact that he recommends the conservative
policy of not forcing them against the irrevo-
cable laws of trade. The Indian war now
pending may add a few millions to the
budget of the governments expenses next
year; but we think the country will agree to
bear it if the war be pushed in the energetic
manner inaugurated by General Sheridan. The
report of the Secretary is open to criticism.

Bogus specu.ations.

The spirit of speculation is bad enough in
its effects when there is some real value at
bottom in the article traded upon, but it is
swindle of peculiar wickedness when The specu-
lation Is fictitious through and through, as it is
in SO many of the ways now spread before the
public in advertisements as sure and easy roads
to fortune. There appears to be great activity
in this direction just now. 1t is difficult to say
why. 1t may be that the spirit of speculation
working recently on such an immense scale in
Wall street is spreading to the community
generally. We notice as particularly helm
Gus phase of the mania the tendency to specu-
late on the desire that every man has to pos
sess home of his own. Advertisements an
nouncng that for the most trivial sum man
can secure land in thriving village with
romantic name, and build house on the land
too, are very seductive to the overworked
denizen Of q crowded city, and he is led by
happy dream of suburban quiet and ease TO
part with hard earned savings that swell the
gainings Of the land shark. Nearly all these
affairs are bogus-of the same character and
worse if possible than all the famous phalanxes
that started with the name Of Fourier, and that
are remembered only in the curses of the vic
Tins

SYMPATHY FOR WOMEN MURDERERs There
are now incarccrated throughout the country,
in various jails, women under sentence of
death for murder and others lying in prison
under charges Of that crime. A poor woman
in Buffalo awaits the execution Of her SEN
tence and there are many others Of her sex in
a like predicament. But it is curious to OBJ
serve that all the sentiment of the philan-
thropic journals is expended upon only one
case-that Of Hester Vaughn, condemned. to
die for the murder Of her child. Have none of
these other unhappy women any claim to sym
pathy? If it be cruel to sacrifice woman
upon the gallows, out of commiseration for her
sex, why not all wome be included in the
arguments which are employed to shield one
from the fate to which the court has legally
condemned her? If scntmentality is to enter
into this question at all we see no reason why
all the female victims of an irexorable law
should not be included in the philanthropc
movement. But it appears that they are not.

rails pledged to him; on many other ques-
tions they are more likely to follow John

ahead Of the acknowledged liberal chief It
