The Close OF the Financial Year.

The current financial year ofthe Uni
ted States will close with this month.
It is already possible to estimate, with
near approach to eXactness, tho en-
tire receipts and expenditures of the
government, as they will appear in the
next annual report OF the Secretary OF
the Treasury. Although the accounts
are not yet made up, it is certain that
the result Will be very nearly as fol-
lowe:
RFRoM UIY lsT, 1863, TO JUNE BOTH, 1859.
Receipts from all sources........... $3.50 900 coo
Expenditures, including interest
on the public debt. ......... 32J OCO 900
Surplus applicable to reduction OF
900
1t is interesting to look back, in this
connection, to the discussion on the
prospects ofthe Treasury which formed
so large part OF the political debates
of last summer. It will be remember
ed that Mr.. Seymour issued letter,
early in the canvass, calling on his
friends topress "the financial question:
and set the example by prOclaiming
that the army alone was maintained at
a cost of some $24O,000.OO0 per annum.
They Obeyed him, and procured from
Mr.. Alexander Delmar, then director
of the Bureau of Statistics in the Treas
ury, an elaborate series OF predictions,
which were cited and expOunded by
the Democratic orators and press with
the reverent trust due only to an inspir-
ed prophet. Mr.. Delmar figured up
certain deficiency for the year of$l3l.-
000 900. Ills estimates must haYe
singular appearance, even in the eyes of
his friends and himself, now that the
partisan passions which dictated them
have passed away.
The estimates for the year made by
the Special Commissioner OF the Rev
enue, Mr.. David a. Wells, are wonder
fI1ll NJ
figures were:
Receipts from all sour ces. ...... 1856 .0t0
Expenditures, including Interest, 3G6. .3O1,OOU
tits noticeable, however, that while
the democratic papers criticised MIR.
Wells estimates as absurdly sangutne,
the actual results are still better. Mr..
McCullOch himself set the expenditures
at 1896, 1872 470-nearly ten millions
more than Mr.. Wells. But the Com
missiOner's figures are now proved to
have been remarkably accurate, with
just that margin of allowance on the
right side, for unforeseen c1rcum-
stances, which statesmanship demands
of statistics.
1t is now unofIicially amour need, the
Washington reporters say, that the de-
partments will ask for no deficiency
bill next year. This important result
has been gained by attention to ecOno-
my in administration. The expenses
deficiency bills for last year; and, II
these hitherto constant legncies of
wastefulness are now stopped, the ap-
parent expenditure for this year is too
large, really including considerable
balances from the past. 1t is not un.
reasonable to hope that the expenses OF
the next fiscal year may, by President
Grant and his faithful subordinates. be
reduced to $3.50, coo OOO: 80 that 500 .GOO.-
900 of oppressive taxation may be re-
pealed, and, If the receipts are within
$50, 600 900 of the enormous revenues of
this year, a surplus will still remain to
be applied upon the principal OF the
debt.-Ne1C York Post.

Cross PuRroSEs-The following, from n
Washington correspondent, shows the charac-
ter of present day Radical Legislation in Con-
grcss He says:
While Senator Sherman was laboring in the
one House to secure the admission of Georgia
Representatives, the other House was rs busily
cndcavoring to unseat those admitted mt the
last session. in consequence of the action OF
the State Legislature in cxpclng freedmen as
ineligible to seats under the new Constitution
of that State, which had been recognized and
approved by Congress. The whole subject
was finally postponed in each House, and the
Georgia Senators are still waiting in the cold.
