begin with, that the surplus revenue for ,bo
,iSc'l year ending June so, 1869, Comprising
out four months Of General Grants admins
tratlon,) was at least $4S, 200, 900, viz: re.
celptS S5n 100000; expenditures, 1928. .0OO.-
OOO The average annual increase or elast;c;tv
In the revenue from the growth of the country
1t Is SAID, is fully l5,000,O 900; while, adds Mr.,
Wells, the gain from the rigid system Of
economy naugurated by the present Admins
tratlOn, and from more faithful collection of
the taxes, will undoubtedly equal, and probably
exceed, $4,000, ,0O0." Taking the last wears
basis OF 4S,O00,000 to guide us, we NAV ex-
pect, therefore, with this addition of $45, ,OO0.-
600 year, surplus next June of $93. .OOO.-
oOO. But, in reality, the surplus of last year
was reduced by payment of $l8, 900, 600 on
extra bounties and one of $7,5OO,O 900 gold
lS9'5OO, 600 currency for Alaska. These sums
we snail gain each year hereafter; and, adding
them to our account, we get a total of Sl20.
oOO'OOO, on the Commissioners estimate, as
our probable surplus revenue for the current
fiscal year.
10 put the matter in mere concise form we
give this synopsis as we find it: When the
war closed our ascertained debt was So. 700.
OOO'OOO, not counting $SOO,OOO 900 due the
army. In four years, without any onerous
increase OF taxation, the whole of the army
Indebtedness has been paid off, and $500, ,OOO,
600 OF the ascertained and audited debt be-
sides. That is to say, we have already cleared
OFT nearly onethird of the burden which rest
ed upon US at the end of the Rebellion. To
the six months of Gen. Grants administration
(up to the lst of September) we must attribute
no less than $50,O00,0OO of this reduction, and
the whole of it indeed is the result of the
policy OF Republican Congress. The reduc-
ton Is still going on with exhilarating speed.
VI all the heavy blows which Republican
orators, fnanciers, and statesmen have dealt to
the respondent Democratic suggestion of re.
pudlatlon, none are so effective as these official
estimates, by officers high in the favor of the
Administration and equally high in the conf
dence OF the people, as to the exact way and
time IN which the national debt, principal and
interest, will be paid. When we learn from
an authority like Commissioner Delano that
the revenue receipts for single quarter, under
President Grant, exceed by ten millions those
OF the same period under his predecessor. we
know on what facts and figures these welcome
prospects OF paying the national debt are
based.

The RAIN STORM After one of the dryest
summers on record the later rains have
come upon us in their fury, as if to verify the
old adage -" 1t never rains but it pours. "
The rain of Sunday night was one of the heav-
lest for a year past and has caused considerable
damage in various parts of the country. The
greatest damage seems to have been done at
and near Philadelphia, where the wharves were
submerged by the swollen Schuykill, and lum-
Der, coal and even railroad cars were carried
away, and stores flooded as high as the second
story. The retOrts in the gas works were sub
merged, and short supply of gas for the city
Monday night was threatened. Arch and
Race sts., were submerged as far up as Twen-
ty-secend st. Baltimore has suffered severely.
The damage In Washington is unprecedented {;
sewers have been burstcd, streets overfowed,
houses carried away, and even cofins washed
out OF the grave-yards and foated down the
miserable little canal called the Tiber. MANY
OF our leading railroads are interrupted. The
Hudson River Road is badly damaged above
POughkeepsie, and all trains Monday afternoon
were stopped. The Harlem was likewise inter
rupted about the same :ime So was the Erie.
and even the Pennsylvania Central. There are
bad breaks in the Erie Canal Trains between
Washington and New York were stopped; tel
egraph wires have been down in all directions.
and, Judging from the dely in some dispatches
from the West, the damage has even entended
beyond the Alleghanies. The floods, however,
a,e already subsiding in many quarters and we
may trust that before half our readers have
seen these lines, the worst will everywhere be
past.
