THE PUBLIC FINDS

The New York Herald says "thc First
Comptroller of the Treasury has prepared
a statement of cash balances due from col
lectors of internal revenue on the 10th of
this month. One hundred and seventy
eight names comprise this formidable list,
| ofwhom seventy-nine are actual defaulters,
the balance having adjusted accounts. The
liabilities of the defaulters amount to
$2,750, 176, while the aggregate of unset
tied accounts is S424.ll2. OF the default
ers forty were appointed by President
johnson, thirty-six by Mr.. Lincoln and but
three by the present administration. Mr..
johnson appears to have been peculiarly
unfortunate in his selection of revenue
officers, his forty defaulting friends having
embezzled $1,745,427 of government
funds, leaving s93o.1l7 for Mr.. Lincoln's
men. while President Grants appointees
have been obliged to content themselves
with $64,581. Louisiana appears to have
been the paradise of revenue rogues, that
State having furnished ten defaulters, who
stole over twelve hundred thousand dol
lars; while New England is without a
representative on the list, all of her reve-
nue. officers having adjusted their accounts.
But three defaulters are from New York
J. F. Bailey, s132,642; Masten, of the
Thirteenth district, $64,221, and J. B.
Halstead, of the Twenty-ninth district,
$18,879. This is a most creditable ex-
hibit for the Empire State, especially when
ally pays into the government Treasury is
taken into consideration. The entire
amount of internal revenue collected up
to the close of the last fiscal year was ST.
CO., 1865, 543."

BRITISH TONNAGE.

The Parliamentary returns show that the
tonnage of the whole British Empire was
less at the close of 1870 than at the ter
mination of the previous year. The num-
Der of ships on the register December 81,
1869, was 1902, aggregating 7,1S2,65S
tons, while on the same date in 1870 there
were 81 SOC ships, representing 7,15O,S41
tons. For the United Kingdom alone, in
the same period, the decrease was TAG
vessels, of II ,034 tons. The new tonnage
registered in Great Britain in 1870 was
600 sailing vessels of 1876. 2S6 tons and 434
steamers of 225.591 tons, making tota1
of 1043 vessels of 1852 ,S77 tons, and showing
an increase over 1869 of 81 vessels, but ;
decrease of 5,699 TONS The Suez trade
has been the primary cause of this dis
crepancy. the peculiarities of that traffic
demanding new style of steamer and OF
less tonnage than ordinary But notwith-
standing the falling off in the aggregate
tonnage of the whole empire, there was a
gain in the arrivals and departures in the
United Kingdom of 9,056 vessels and q.
429, 1858 tons. This indicates that the sea
trade is becoming absorbed by steamers
and causing consequent reduction in the
number of carriers, the rapidity and Ger.
tainty of their voyages over sailing craft
more than compromising for the diminu
ton in the aggregate tonnage.

kITTERY, Aug. II, 1871.
To the Editor of the Press :
Affairs at the navy yard are in prosperous
condition under the present management The
government never had more efficient corps of
officers than those now in command. Re-
trenchment and economy is the order of the
day. In the equipment department alone, ma
terial that has been lying idle for years has
been used until the savings have got up among
the thousands, and still the work goes bravely
on through all the departments OF the yard. Re-
trenchment, in reducing the number of officers
and clerks in many of the departments has
been made until in that of yards and docks the
the savins Is in salaries amounts to upwards of
upwards of ten thousand dollars and in that
of steam engineering to over four thousand.
In making these reductions, the executive de-
partment of the yard have not allowed them
selves to be governed by politics or friendship.
Superfuous officers only have been removed,
SO that the work goes on as before 1t has been
the unvarying practice in discharging men to
retain the soldier and the sailor where the quail
ifications were equal.
Capt. Fairfax, the executive officer of the
yard is the right man in the right place. He
has been denounced by some that have been
removed as COpperbead. There is not par
tcle of that metal in bis constitution. He is
as thoroughly loyal and as thoroughly Repub-
lican as any man in the State In employing
and discharging men he has endeavored to
keep the scales equally balanced between
Maine and New Hampshire. This has not been
done before for many years, if ever.
The United States steamer Wyoming is all
ready for sea, and is beautiful vessel. The
Kansas is being refitted and will soon be ready
The Tuscarora is still in the dry dock. She is
now receiving her copper. Yonrs,

SwILL CARTs.-A great complaint is made
by many of the citizens that boys are allowed
to collect swill and then drag their broken
wagons over the sidewalks, permitting the
filth to drop on the bricks leaving long trail
of filth emitting an intolerabe stencil, and
they claim that such proceedings are not sane
toned by the City Ordinances. These COM
plainants acknowledge. with the same breath
that they sometimes give their swill to these
same boys because the city Offal cart does not
come round often enough to remove their gar
bage. 1t seems then that the fault lies in the
insufficiency of ofal carts belonging to the city
But for the health of the city let something be
done to abate this nuisance. Particularly at
this season of the year should all such matters
receive first attention, and no such sights be
permitted as that of small carts, filled with ref
use that taints whole neighborhood, quietly
