Orr fashions LETTER. The piquant let
ter on the coming and evcr-varying fash
ions from our Paris correspondent to-day
says so much for itself that we are not
disposed to elaborate upon il. We do not
know whether the ladies' will be pleased or
otherwise to learn that they are expected to
20 back to the days of Agnes Sorrel and
Charles the Seventh for the throat ornament
known "a the something like the
gorget worn by military officers half century
ago-or whether they will be charmed with the
costumes Of Pompadour, so prettily illustrated
by Vatican and Boucher, and other antiquated
styles, united with the pagoda sleeves of Marie
Antoinette. But it seems that the Princess
Metternich and the Duchesse de Sesto have de-
cded upon rcviving this manner of toilet, and
Madam Fashion cordially approves of it,
speaking ca cathedrd from her temple in Paris.
or Course our ladies must bow submssively
to the dictum.

Mr.. Reverdy Johnson presented his creden-
tails as United States Minister near the Court
of Great Britain to Queen Victoria at Windsor
Castle few days since. The assurances OF
addresses of personal felicitation and national
congratulation and compliment usually inter-
changed between new Minister and the Sow
ereign appear to have been omitted on the
occasion. The Queen, who had just returned
from her trip to Switzerland, was engaged al
the moment in preparing for run to SCOT
land, so it may have been that she was either
too much fatigued or slightly excited by the
anticipation of coming enjoyment in the High
lands to either listen to or speak the words Of
diplomacy From whatever cause we have
no record Of the language held on either side
during the official presentation and reception;
so neither the Queen nor our Minister stand in
any way committed to speedy settlement Of
the Alabama claims or the endorsement of
bond of eternal friendship between the coun-
tries.
Away down from Windsor, however, among
thehardware men of Sheffield and the broadcloth
weavers of Leeds, Minister johnson has been
pleasingly fluent and wonderfully reassuringS
80 much 80, indeed, that the London Journals
regard the Alabama claims question, with other
little matters existing between the countries, al
fully settled, and proclaim that if he who
knows the whole case is certain of an adjust
ment of the differences pending between Great
Britain and the United States the public may
be sure of it," All this tends to create the
impression that Minister Johnson has had two
sets of instruction given him in Washington,
one on paper to guide him at court, the other,
oral and for use in the English manufacturing
districts. Before the British people make
''sure Of it, they should inquire of Secretary
Seward which is the binding one.

Edwin N. Stanton, late Secretary OF War,
delivered tremendous campaign speech az
Steubenville, Ohio, on Friday evening last, il
support of General Grant and his platform for
tn, Presidential succession: Mr.: Stanton, it
! appears, had declined several invitations 70
speak during the canvass, but yielded at last
to the earnest entreaties Of the people Of his
native county to give them hiS opinions on the
great issues of the day; and 4 trenchant
stump speech he gave them. 1t lie, for cam
paigning purposes, well compacted historical
speech, covering the conspirators, the causes
and the objects of the rebellion, the varying
fortunes of the war, until the second great
triumph of Abraham Lincoln. the measures of
Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation, the
public faith and credit, the war and recon
struction measures of Congress, skipping
over the impeachment and the siege of Gene
raj Lorenzo Thomas against said Stanton in
the War Office, and enlarging upon the merits,
claims and qualifications of Grant and Colfax
for the Offices for which they are contesting
the country against Seymour and Blair, and
dwelling upon the weak points of the Demo-
cratic National Convention, ticket and plat
form, and showing up the financial policy of
the democratic party as the policy of repudia-
ton in the interests of the Southern oligarchy
and new rebellion.
Here are abundant materials in the hands
of keen lawyer, a Jealous partisan, and ex-
perienced official such as Stanton for a telling
campaign harangue, and from the published
report, though evidently an abridgment, the
speech was rouser. Of course, it is libe-
rally garnished with the usual claptrap and
eloquence of the stump; but the masses at q
political meeting require from their caterers a
plentiful seasoning of cayenne, mustard, vine
gar, black pepper and salt, and Stanton thor
oughly understands it. The only wonder is
that the republican managers have permitted
him so long to hide his light under a bushel.
But now we guess they will bring him
out aud put him on the track of
Pendleton and Frank Blair in the West
or after Seymour in New York. If
the indomitable and irrepressible ex-Secre-
tary of War were to come to New York, upon
the announcement of his purpose to deliver
a speech in Cooper Institute on the late
impeachment drama behind the scenes, and
how it resulted in making General Grant the
champion of the republicans, and Chief JUS
tice Chase for time the hope of the demo-
cracy, he would draw prodigious audience,
and would perhaps throw some new light on
the policy Of Andy Johnson.

The Spanish Revolution.

Condition Of the Financos-Reporss from
Washington.

Washington.
The Treasury Department has let it leak out
little in advance on the Official statement that
there will be "another small increase OF the
national Indebtedness" this month. We use
the iangDss ge of the Washington telegram as to
the "small increase" but the correspondent
says lit may possibly reach two million five
hundred thousand dollars"-that is, at the rate
OF thirty millions year. This does not strike
us as small increase. We should not be sur
prised, however, if the sum named were to
be below the figure when the official statement
is published. 1t is said that this increase is
owing principally to the unusual heavy expen-
ditures of the War Department in carrying out
the radical measures of reconstruction. We
learn at the same time that the receipts from
internal revenue are surprisingly small and
that the cash in the Treasury has been pretty
well reduced.
This is anything but ilattering prospect of
our national finances, and goes to prove what
we have said all along-that under the stupid
legislation of Congress and mismanag ement Of
Mr.. McCull0ch we should find an increase of
the debt and an empty Treasury before the end
OF the fiscal year. How could it be otherwise !?
The expenditures of the government continue
to be enormous. They are war expendi-
lures in amount, though the country
is at peace and has been for more than three
years past. The heaviest is for the War De-
partment in carrying out the reconstruction
measures of Congress. 1t would be better to
say, however, that this vast expense has been
for keeping the South in disorganized and
disturbed condition, for that is what this So
called reconstruction amounts to. Then the
enormous appropriations by Congress for all
sorts of schemes, bOunties, Freedmens Blu
reau and private enterprises must soon drain
the Treasury dry when the income is falling
off, The stupendous frauds in the internal
revenue and the decentralization of that de-
partment through the deadlock between Com
missioner Rollins and Mr. McCulloch and the
President threaten to reduce the income from
that source far below the estimates. A hun
dred millions of taxation were taken off for the
benefit of few New England and other manu-
facturers, while the expenditures and appro
priatiOns remained on the largest scale. We
see this extraordinary anomaly in the condi-
ton of the country, that while the crops are
most abundant and general prosperity prevails
the debt is being increased and the Treasury
approaching bankruptcy. This lamentable
state of things with regard to the national
finances is to be attributed entirely to the
ignorance and reckless extravaganza of Con-
gress on the one hand and to the utter in
capacity and mismanagement of Mr.. McCulloch
on the other. Surely it is time there was
change both in the character of our national
legislators and in the administration of the
Treasury Department.

Allegheny Cattle Market

From the PITTSBURGH Gazette, Oct. ID, 1858.
CATTLE.-The supply of Cattleen sale
was again large to-day, reaching about
thirteen hundred, in the aggregate, and
with bad weather and but very few buy
ers aside from the butchers, the market
was an exceedingly dull one, and there
was an almost universal grumbling
among drovers. Prime retailing stock
remain about the same as last week,
ranging from to 74c, but common in
ferior stock was exceedingly hard to sell
at any price; medium butchers cattle
may be quoted at 81 to 6, and good do at
Ct TO g. The large supply of common
cattle is beginning to influence the price
of good cattle, and unless we are greatly
mistaken, stock of ALI kinds will rule

Cattle seem to be plenty everywhere, and
as soon as the winter sets in, farmers and
stock growers will commence tc send
