The gold receipts of the Treasury for the fiscal
year closing with June last were more than
S1S00OO,0O0 which is more than $l5,OOO,0OO per
month. Does Mr. Clews consider the estimate
of $0,OOOOOO for the receipts for this month
reasonablel We do not.
He says that Sll,OJO,0OO are advertised to be
sold in December. lie is of course aware that
large sums advertised to be sold this month
have been withdrawn, and that less was sold
last week than was advertised. Is 1t fair to
suppress these factsf
Month after month, we have looked and
hoped for a reduction OF the volume Of Gold
in the Treasury. 1t is still kept above One
Hundred Millions. We think that ought not
to be-that the dcpostors should be required
TO take away their gold, and place it in banks,
or somewhere that it may weigh in favor of
Resumption, not against it, Banking is not the
Governments proper business; paying its debts
is. We ask it To reduce its debt M rapidly
and heavily as may be. Hoarded gold in the
Treasury is, in our view, the chief remaining
obstacle to a speedy Resumption, provided the
Revenue be not reduced. Let the Government
pay out the last dollar it can spare, and not
recOil when it's credit threatens to rise to
par.-t III.

1t was unfortunate that the character of Mr.
George Peabody's relations to his country
during the war should yesterday have
become topic of discussion in the
House. What we ourselves had to say
on this painful topic we have
already said; what was to be said from
another standp point may be read else
where in the synopsis Of Mr.. Thurlow
Weeds testimony. We have only to add
an expression of our qualification at the
final passage of the resolution authorizing
the President to take such official action about
the funeral as may seem to him fitting.

The careful reader of to-day's TRIBUNE will
probably make the discovery that Christmas is
approaching. Bat, indeed, 10 consultation of
newspapers or of almanacs is needed for
that. Whoever walks down Broadway, or
takes a car through the BOwery, will breathe
in the Christmas spirit with the air, and find
himself shopping for holiday presents be-
fore lie is alvarez of it. Our pages,
this morning. may give him many
valuable hint for that inspiring exercise, and
they may also tell him, through many columns
reciting the lists of orr noble benevolent
institutions, where he may best find worthy
objects for the sweet charity that the holy
season teaches and imDels.

Z he Mississippi Conarasseh with
Some Smsa1ia.r asiEers.

The inhabitants Of the Mississippi
bottom have reason to congratulate
; themselves Oh the comparative gentle
ness and equability which mark the
! behavior Of the great river, as contrastrd
with the fierce and ungovrrnalle car,i-
! ces of the Colorado and Brazos in Texas,
and streams # a similar regimen in the
far West No overflow # the MiSsi.>;r
ri ever produced in an equal a,pa the
swift and iHtv:tah.e destruction which
attrnd,.I the recent Texas flood; and
the great peril Of life which rharacteri-
zr! this food even a vivid iina"jnariou
does not think Of as>otfating with the
highest rise ct the Mississippi. Tie
fact is That tn" large dvla-forming
rivers, wherever they are found, are the
lrast dangerous and most brnv.icent.
This d. ittrrncc is due partly to porors-
ness Of soil and partly to txpansr OF
basin to receive and eitius, an excess Of
water. It may he doubted whrthpr
in the absence Of levres, an ovelAo# Of
the Mississippi would ever be deeper
than few inches at any spot along it,
borders. The more widely its waters
should spread the more rapidly would
they be absorbed by the earth and evap-
GRATED by the sun; and it is not impro-
habIe that, if left to their own course
for serics nf years, their annual rise
and fall would be in all respects ana!o-
gous to the annual rise and fall of the
Nile The terrible freshets of some OF
the Texas and Western rivers may be
accounted for doubtless by the unab-
sorbant nature of the surfaces which
they drain. and of the soil through which
they flow. The rolling prairie lands on
either hand, instead of drinking in a
large portion Of the rain, throw it down
into these rivers as though they were
slate roofs throwing rainfall into gut
ters. The waters thus precipitatea find |
a channel that is but little porous and a !
bottom that admits If but little diffusion.
Comparison between the Mississippi |
and such rivers is like that between a
highly educated and tractable elephant
and an untamable mustang pony. From
his great size the elephant may appear
to the inexperienced eye far more dam
gerous; but one we'll acquainted with
both knows that there is infinitely more
hazard ot falling on the back OF the
than on the back of the larger

beautiful to behold. and is a scathing re
buke to our boas'ed civilization
The sympathy existing between thr>,
two brothers is so close and so refnet
that the feelings, the impulses, The emo
tions of the one are instantly experienced
by the other When one is sick thu
other is sick; when one feels pain tn.
other feels it; when one is angered the
others temper takes fire. We have 81
ready seen with what happy facility
they both fell in love with the sams
girl. Now Chang is bitterly opposed
to all forms Of intemperance on princi
pie but Eng IS the reverse-for, while
these mems feelings and emotions are SC
closely welded, their reasoning faculties
are unfettered their thoughts are free
Chang belongs to the Good Templars,
and is hard working and enthusiastic
supporter of all temperance reforms
But, to his bitter distress, every now and
then Eng gets drunk, and, of course,
that makes Chang drunk too. This un-
fortunate thing has been a great sor-
row to Chang, for it almost destroys his
usefulness in his favorite field of effort
AS sure as he is to head great temper
ance procession Eng ranges up along
side of him, prompt to the minute and
drunk as lord but yet no more dismal
ly and hopelessly drunk than his broth
er who has not tasted drop. And SO
the two begin to hoot and yell, and throw
mud and bricks at the Good Templars !;
and, of course, they break up the pro-
cession. It would be nanifestly
wrong to punish Chang for what Eng
does, and, therefore, the Good Templars
accepts the outward situation, and suf-
fer in scilence and sorrow. They shave
officially and deliberately examined in
to the matter, and find Chang blameless.
They have taken the two brothers and
filled Chang full of warm water and
sugar and Eng full of whiskey, and in
twenty-five minutes it was not possible
to tell which was the drunkest. Both
were dunk as loons-and on hot whis-
key punches, by the smell of their breath.

physically drunk. BY every right and
by every moral evidence the man was
strickly sober and, therefore, 1t caused
his friends all the more anguished to see
him shake hands with the pump and
try to wind his watch with his night

There is moral in these solemn warn

VII. Fillmore osa Negro Suffrage

Ex-prosilent Fillmore has lately cx.
/ pressed these view. on the suffrage 1uts
! t;on.
In Speaking Of t|e suffrage, the vx-
ire>;delt said the great mistake made
i by the had'c''IS, aud seemingly by the
country, ust now. is that this was nat.
uraI 'igIlt and not a political right or
privilege Hence the snf',"rr has been
given - millions Of !"nich,rI negroes
who scarc,'ly " En',w their lic!t hal1,
from t!1rir l,fj, and who can I:.:r ",
IinowIedge ot hat they Vote for. Hay
lug given the slItira;1-e to the negroes il
cannrt be refused to the milipns upon
millions of Chinese who are coming to
tits country, and who are a superior
race to the negroes. This is a serious
evil IN the future to contrln} late But
he does not see how the suffrage is to
be taken away or restricted when once
given. We are rushing on in the way
Ut political rrvolution, aud it seems that
it must run its course to the extreme
point OF radicalsm 1t will be fo!tllnatc
if this does not cu'mina,e in sans
cu/ot{r rfsimc, to be follow I'd by another
kind OF dcSpolism Or personal Dictator
ship. When speaking Of this state of
things Mr.. Fillmore referred to one of
the old Italian republics, that difference;
| think, where revolutionary and radical
was carried to such an extreme
that elections to office to administer the
government Were done away with, and
officers were taken by lot from the
whole community. AS a matter of
course, the most ignorant became the
rulers, for they were the most numerous.
The consequence was tina, with this
radical attempt to force equality where
no natural Or rea! equality existed, lib
erty soon expired and despotism sue
ceeded. Mr.. Fillmore admits that the
suffrage should be on the broadest posi-
ble basis, and remarked that England
and a other civilized countries were
tt nding to that; but it should be held
only, as a general rule, by those who
know how to use it. Still, he had hope
that the evils Of extending the suffrage
to the ignorant masses of other races
would be corrected in a measure by the
progress of education, the preponderance
Of the Caucasian race and the enlighten- .
ed patriotism of the American ,eople.
