Receipts md Expenditures Of
Government.

The total receipts from customs for the
month of March were s16,066, 45O.S3; the
total receipts from internal revenue were
3l2,S59, SlS.3S; the total receipts from
both sources were s2S,926, 270.2l. The re-
ceipts from public lands, premium on sales
of gold, etc, will probably be sufficient to
make the receipts twenty-nine millions.
The expenses of the Government for the
month of March, including the pensions
payment. will not exceed twelve millions.
The public debt statement tomorrow will
doubtless show reduction for the past
month of between fifteen and seventeen mil
lion dollars.
Forthe week ending 2Gth instant the total
receipts from CUSTOMS were a3,4j2,971.19,
over two-thirds Of which was from New

The Ratification Of Treaties by the
House.

1t was mentioned in these dispatches
some days ago that the House Committee
on Indian Affairs had determined to report
bill requiring the concurrence of the
House, as we'll as ratification by the
Senate, in all treaties with Indians. There
has since been hitch in the committee,
which has delayed final action, but it is
certain that majority of the committee are
in favor of the bill. There is a grow
ing disposition in the House to take
part in the ratification of all treaties
when appropriations are required to carry
them out. This disposition was manifested
in the discussion upon the Alaska appropri-
alton, and it is believed that majority of
the House would vote for law such as that
above named. A large number OF men,
bers hold. however, that such law would
not be warranted by the Constitution; that
ONLY the Executive and the Senate can take
part in making and ratifying treaties OF
any kind; and that the duty devolves upon
the House, under the Constitution, to make
appropriations to carry out treaties
thus perfect; and it is as obligatory
upon the House as is the duty to make
appropriations to pay the Presidents salary
or any other rightful expense of the Go
yernment.
The Flfteenth.Amendme Message.
When the Presidents message in regard
to the ratification of the fifteenth amend
ment comes up in either branch of Congress-
there will be lengthy discussion, the

4 large amount of information was laid
before the committee tending to show that

New Lines OF Steamers Wanted.
Judge Lander appeared before the Senate
Postal Committee and made an argument
in behalf of New York company to
establish line OF steamers between New
York and Vera Cruz. They ask n subsidy
of 5000 for round-trip every twenty
days.
Senator Kellogg, Of Louisiana, also APP
peared before the committee and argued
in favor of establishing a. line of steamers
between New Orleans, Tampico, and Vera
Cruz. The company petition for a sub.

presented statistics showing the importance
of establishing an American line of steam

A better sign than "The Rainbow"
Mr.. Sinclair did not expect to get; ne
was only joking with Tom Hall, and he
raised his eyebrows when Tom made his
appearance, with bundle under his arm,
and requested him to look at the new
signboard
II didn't think you would catch me
up; but step in, Tom, and let me see
your idea"
Tom grayely united his bundle, and
held up bunch of rags before the pub
hcan's astonished eyes.
'sWhat do you mean, Tom = asked
Mr.. Sinclair, feeling confident Tom had
lost s9ou Hes ssnass. wsss a new signboard, don't
you?" said Tom.
"Well, what has bunch of rags got
to do with that 2" said Mr.. Sinclair.
"Ask yourself, sir, if bunch of rags
is not the best signboard that can hang
across the publican's door," said Tom,
and his lip quivered.
s'Was it that bunch of rags that made
you teetoler, Tom ?'' said Mr.. Sinclair,
more confused than he liked to confess.
cit was Gods means, l think, sir,"
answered Tom, "and, perhaps, poor
wretches, seeing there the end of drink,
may bless you for the signboard
Tom walked away to his work, and
Mr.. S. went back to his counter, but all
day the bunch of rags troubled him.
He was a kind hearted man, and be-
lieved himself Christian, and he did
not like the idea of being considered the
cause of misery and rags. TO man of
his disposition it was painful in the ex-
treme, and he couldn't help feeling angry
when poor shivering wretches came and
laid down the payment of glass.
When he lifted up the money he felt
as if he was stealing .heir means
1t was busy day, but every new
conner seemed more deplorably wretched
and worse off than the last served. He
was thankful when night came.

The Hon. Jno. E. Sanford, Insurance Commits
sioncr of Massachusetts, in his Report for 1868,
speaking of Dividends in Life Insurance Compa-
nies, says, The sooner such guarantees cease
to be made, and such expectations created, the
sooner Life Insurance will come to rest on its true
motive, and men insure their lives for security,
and not for dividends. The hest and the most

TUNHE simplicity and practicability of this new
Il Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in use. Tho
Wheels nre four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
to be used in making any alteration. Tho supe-
rority of the t'Gay' Piow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate:
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon
farms the Cay Plow, hereby certify that tho
same has given entire satisfaction. It's facility
for adjusting to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the game is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-beam in
stead of the carriage; also, because il is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being n
structcd of wrought iron-no castings used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is ad-
vantage over other gang-plows, in striking of
land and in plowing, not having to make the nec-
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward
sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the "GAY''
PLow to our brother farmers, as one having no
| superior in Oregon.
