The exact returns OF the revenues ouu
EXPENSES Of the United States Treasury
for tho last fiscal year have not been
completed, but enough is known to
make a much more favorable exhibit
than was expected in the autumn OF
1868. The increase in the receipts OF
customs has been beyond any reason
able calculation. Based on the actual
gain for the first quarter, a fair estimate
for the year was n hundred and sixty
four millions. ; it has run almost twenty
millions above this total. On the same
basis the internal revenue receipts were
estimated a. one hundred and forty
three millions ; these will prove to be
fifteen millions more than the calcula-
ton. The large sales Of gold at a high
premium have swollen the miscellans-
Gus receipts, so that the total income OF
the Treasury for the year ending June
Goth, 1869, will amount to nearly or
quite three hundred aud seventy-hve
million dollars. The expenses OF the
Treasury on the other hand have fallen
far within the expected total. 1t is very
c~reditable to the entire Administration
only one-quarter Of which has been
supervised by existing authorities, thai
the years expenses have been brought
as now believed, within three hundred
and ~thir,y-fve millions. Very much
larger outgoes were looked for aver
after Congress had met and made some
advances in the work Of retrenchmsnt,
1t now appears as IL the surplus in the
year would reach forty million dollars,
a result. which should be gratifying to
the whole nation, rs we'll as to the ad'
hercuts of the party in power. For this
year the statistics of the foreign COM
merce Of the country is not yet at hand
but from the Bureau Of Statistics a
Washington, the returns up to the close
of March, nine months, show that thu
total imports Of merchandise into thu
United States from foreign ports
amounted to S29l ,264,5s4, and of spe
Gle to ST., 1885 l9 = giving a total o
S3O3, sos, 500. The exports Of domestic
produce from the United States to for
eign ports in the same time was SOB,
659,l5o ; the exports of foreign produce
S7,2lo, s34, and of specie, S42, 9os, o7'
giving an aggregate of exports for TIT
nine months of S243,s5s,l Isl. The i'm
ports ara given at their foreign cost il
gold, freight and duty not added. Thu
exports are reckoned into gold by th'
cloyks of the Department, so that boil
stand on the same basis. For the nin'
months above given the imports exceed
the exports about sixty million dollars
which would make an excess of eight!
millions on the fiscal year. The volume
of trade thus shown greatly exceeds al
calculations, and has only been rem
dered possible by the flow Of our Gov
eminent bonds to Europe. A shipmen
of specie, and a consequent curtailmen
of trade was expected, and viii

From AIaska-Indian Ou,rages

SAN Francisco, March 25.-Gen.
Davis's report, from headquarters In
this city, respecting the Indian out
RACES in Alaska, just published. saws
the Indians guilty of the recent mur-
ders belong to a warlike tribe called
kake or Kekons, and have committed
many murders and outrages, hereto
fore, always escaping punishment.
Upon hearing Of the murder of the
traders General Davis proceeded with
the steamer Saginaw to the neighbor-
hood of the tribe, and finding it de-
serted ordered their villages burned.
The tribe was much frightened at the
summary manner it was dealt with,
aud promised to surrender the mur-
derers, whom the commanding Cen
efal Is determined to promptly exc
cute. General Davis does not antici-
pate any serious trouble, and feels
himself master of the situation.
The steamer Saginaw is to be prop
erly fitted out, aud proceed to the
neighborhood Of tho Kakes to further
punish them if the murderers are not
surrendered.

Mayor Walkers Loans = Who VIII
EXplafn Them?

In Mayor WALKERS report of the
receipts of the city. he gives no ae-
count of any receipts at the City
Treasury on account Of loans. In
the same report, under disbursements
by the city, he gives no account Of any
sum having been paid by the city on
account of redemption of loans. In
other words, as the report processes to
be an account of the receipts and dis
bursements of the city, and as there
is no entry of any amount having been
received or paid out on account Of
loans, we are warranted In saying
that Mayor WALKER reports that
there has been nothing received or
paid ont by the city on account of
loans.
But in another part of the same re-
port Of Mayor WALKER, under the
head Of Indebtedness of the City, he
says that the city owes bank debt
$45.094 81. That is, the city has
received $45,094 GA, on account of
loans over and above the amount paid
out in redemption of loans.
But the Clerks books show that
during the same time the city receiv-
ed on account of loans the sum of
500, ,S58 81, and paid in re lemption of
loans during same time S54,3 ,322 q.
We learn also that the books of the
Treasurer agree with the books of the
Clerk. But the question is-why does
the Mayor disagree with himself, and
with all other city books2

Now the ex NJ. only thinks he is
right here. He states it tolerabiy de-
family, but one can see for all that,
rhat his modesty is stealing back upon
him, because he don't challenge any
body to do anything after letting it
off. But, if The cx-M. is acquainted
with a person by the name Of William
Bedford, Jr., which he probably is,
since Mr.. b. has always been one OF
his frmest supporters, will he please
ask him whether or not the city was
owing him 81, 897 90 for work on the
franklin Street sewer, previous to
April 1st, 1868, and whether or not
his claim was paid by the present
board Of Councilmen?-C Courier.
Answer-Mr. BEDFoRD's work on
franklin Street sewer was not COM
pIeted until the 18Th day Of April,
1868. When completed, we presume
his claim was allowed and paid by
the present Boa.d of Councilmen. At
least it ought to have been done.

that the accrued and unpaid interest
on outstanding debts of the city on
the 10th day of April, 1868, was not
less than $4,000, and, in the same
report, in his statement Of disburse-
ments, he states the whole amount of
interest paid during the year at
$8, 737 Y.
Rather singular that the whole
amount of interest paid during the
year should be less than the amount
of interest which was due at the be-
ginning of the year.

BUT here is a different case. May
or Walker has been in office not quite
a year, and has never been oficious
about the clerk and treasurer's s
books. We are afraid Mayor Walker
is brazen sort of person, fer he
has left the books of the city open
all the time he has been in Office, and
is still leaving them open, as if he
actually gloried in exposing his con
duct to the public eye. Mayor
Walker hasn't particle of modesty
at least about the city books
[ Courier.
But what is the use of the books
Of The city lgiag open all the time"
if Mayor Walker, according to his
own report, can borrow $45,094 50
for the use of the city, and never
allow one dollar of the amount to
appear on said books?
