"The receipts and expendl.

The currency balance in the
Treasury up to date is little
upwards of twenty-five millions
of dollars. The gold balance is
upwards of one hundred and
eleven millions; coin certif-
Gates, tbirty.four millions. But
for the fact that there will be a
large payment oi the navy and
war pensions and the closing
up of the war balances ending
with the fiscal year, there
would be a larger reduction Of
the public debt than has been
exhibited in any previous
month since the advent of the

"The receipts from internal

sources, are considerably in ex-

several Senators to urge a re-
duction of taxation and duties
to the extent of one hundred
