has turned ouh Accepting the general pol
icy OF his chief Mr.. Boutwell, has used his
polltical strength and reputation TO carry 1T
out, ana mas probably done so more quickly
and with less resistance than Mr.. Stewart
could have effected the same thing. Indeed,
those who favored the appointment of Mr..
Stewart, as the Republican did, are now gen.
orally satisfied that Mr.. Bout Wells appoint
ment was better, on the whole, and in this
opinion it is probable that the President
agrees.
1t is not possible, of course, in the absence
of the needful legislation, TO place our debt
on the best basis,-especially that most
troublesome part of it, the greenback eurren-
cy, which is now greatly in excess, and should
be contracted, under act of Congress, as soon
as practicable. But the administration seems
to be doing nearly all 1t can under the pres
ent laws. 1t is steadily diminishing the three
per cent. certificates, which now amount to
only little more than $50, 900, goo; 1t is set
ting aside sinking fund, to the full extent
allowed, and it is enforcing practical con-
traction Of the currency by largely increasing
the currency balance in the treasury, which
now stands at more than s37, 100000. 1t is
not expected that the present month will
show a great diminution Of the debt, but we
believe the average rate of decrease since
January will be kept up. All the contin-
geucies, under the new administration, seem
10 be on the favorable side; the revenue j;
larger than was anticipated, and even the
sales of gold are so mSnaged as to bring more
profit to the treasury than TO the brokers. II
is in this gratifying posture OF affairs that the
new financial year begins, and we Deheyt
that, before it closes, Congress wiz find Il prac
ticable to reduce taxation and to take the nrsl
step toward resuming specie payments.

The National Finances.

The decrease of the public debt, unexpect-
edly large for the month of June, has been
also remarkable in the iour months just clos
ed, since Gen. Grant became President, aver
aging not less than 50, 900 per month for
the whole period. The whole reduction of
the debt during the financial year just closed
was $42, ,452,524 more than six-seyenths OF
which has been made under Gen. Grant
Taken in connection with the iacts, lately
made public, that the revenue is collected
with more honesty and better results than
ever before,-that it exceeds even the most
sanguine estimates of last year, while the
expenses OF the government have been great
ly diminished, and the reduction is still going
on,--ths statement OF Secretary Boutwelfs
is in the highest degree encouraging, and is a
certificate OF good management on the part OF
the new administration that must be very
satisfactory TO all its supporters. And its
supporters are all good citizens, it it proves
itself, as in this matter it has done, to be
working in the interest OF the whole people.
A bad government often gets toleration,-
and even applause, If il looks well to the n

Coming down from Mt. Hope by another
road from the one we drove up and coming
ont at Sanford corner again, we find our
selves only five miles from Alfred and two
from the beautiful village of Spring Vale, the
road to Spring Vale, leads over a level tract
of land and near the banks of the Mousam
and is SO full of pleasant scenes and sights,
that in very short time you arrive at the
Vale, where other and greater manufactures,
and water power, with churches, stores and
charming residences, shaded by naples and
elms are found. From this place the road
passes over diversified country back to Al
fred, distance of only five miles. So that
the ride from Alfred to Sanford corner, and
thence up 10 Spring Vale and across to AL
fred is only some twelve miles, and if Mount
Hope is visited only two miles further will be
added. All of which can be done up in part
of an afternoon and allow ample time to stop
and pick flowers, or visit the factories or do
all the shopping that may be desired. D.
