The following appears among the

Cincinnati Enquirer:
lex Senator Carlile was at the White
House to day urging his claims for the
mission to Stockholm, and impressing
the President that the charges made
against him in the Senate-that he had
been in sympathy with the Democratic
pArty-were untrue. The President
said that he had been eoundly abused
by some of his party friends for some
OF his foreign appointments, and he
should move cautious in the future.
We suppose Mr.. Curlile did no. lay
before the President copy OF the
Clarksburg "Tooley street" manifesto.
Had he done so Grant must have APP
pointed him on the spot. We fear the
President has been reading the INTEL

Fruit Prospects In belmont County

Fruit Prospects In Belmont County
The GAINESVILLE Enterprise of this
week says: 1.-THE cold nights at the be-
ginning of this week caused many fears
for the safety of the fruit. No frost fell,
however, and the weather having be-
come warmer, the fruit is not In any
Immediate danger. II late frosts do not
come, there will be larger crop OF all
kinds of fruit in this vicinity than was
ever before known. The blossoms OF
the peach trees have come and gone,
while the cherries are in full bloom!
and the apple buds just ready to burst
out. If one.tenth OF the blossoms ma.
ture, we shall have an abundance OF
everything. The grape vines, straw
berries and other small fruits are in ex-
cellent condition, and there is pros.
pect OF more than an average supply.
With good yield of all kinds OF fruit,
and prospect of good wheat crop,
we may consider that tillers of the soil
will be amply rewarded for their care
and labor.

Why BTr. Boutwell, Does not Enforce
the Sinking Fund Law.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes under date Of
4th: o
There is some criticism upon Secreta-
nv Boutwell, in certain q quarters, because
he has not yet begun to use the discre-
tionary power conferred upon him by
the Sinking Fund acts. 1t is decidedly
too much TO expect of a Secretary who
has not yet really had the requisite time
to look into his books, to enforce a
law which all his predecessors persist
emily ignored. Governor Boutwell's
Intention to use the surplus revenue to
reduce the debt, is thoroughly defined,
and will be carried into effect as early
as practicable. But there are several
contingencies to be considered which
cannot be disregarded before the Secre-
tary can act freely. In the first place
he must know positively that he is not
to be embarrassed by the sudden pre-.
sentation of the interest-bearing de-
mand obligations of the Government.
With the May interest taken out
the net gold balance in the Treasury is
only about Sos, 100000. The July in
terest will equal the customs for May
and June, and the current expenditures
will doubtless fully equal the internal
revenue receipts for the same month,
and some gold will, perhaps, have to be
sold. Then the most important con-
tingency of all Is whether it is possible
to reduce the expenditures in the fiscal
year 1S69-7O in the same proportion
that Congress reduced the appropria>
tons. This must be demonstrated to
a certain extent, or else the surplus in
the Treasury may be needed Tor de-
hciencies, for the adjustment of taxa
lion daring the past two years has been
upon the basis of reduced expenditures
IN all Departments. Congress reduced
the appropriations more than thirty
millions below the lowest Treasury-es -
Inmates; and unless the War, Navy and
treasury departments can make these
reductions good, Mr.. Boutwell, will
probably have use for the greater nor.
uon of his surplus in paying the De.
hciency bills of the next Congress Rnt
It will require considerable advance
into the new fiscal year to determine
this with any degree of certainty.
