balance had been usually, and for immed-
late purposes, unnecessarily large. The
act of July, 1870, which authorizes an
increase OF national bank notes, imposed
upon the Secretary, he says. the daty of
providing for the redemption Of equal
amounts of the 3 per cent. certificates,
while the decrease in the coin and cur
rency revenues from the legislation Of
last session makes it his duty to receivc
in the treasury sum sufficient to enable
the department to comply with the law
without resoFting to extraordinary
means. This accumulation, which, the
Secretary now insists, is an absolute
measure of safety, has not, he adds, af-
teeted nufavcrapiy the financial condition
the country, bat on the contrary has kept
the Treasury on q proper basis to meet
the great reduction IN revenue. This
reduction in customs alone, which was
estimated in Congress at about $50
000.0oO in gold, viii reach at least, $40, :
900, 600 year. There is likewise nearly
as large reduction in internal taxation
&c morrow, however, the coin balance
will be reduced 10 S4S, 600, 600 by the
payment Of S3c, 900, 600 Of coin interest
bu. really there viii remain but S3S, geo, :
600 coin in the Treasury, for there are
SO, 600, ,0G0 Of unoaiisd for but accrued
interest which the Secretary may be re-
quired to pay out without days s notice
Thus, as matter of fact, the new year
opens with an actual cola balance Of but
$3S, 900, coo, FOR the large currency bal
ance has been generally explained above
in the language Of the secretary, but a
few figures will make it clearer. Of the
$50, ,000,0 CT authorized additional

been applied for from the south and
west, SIS, ,o0o, o0o Of which viii probably
be granted, aad 81, eco 900 have already
been issued. As fast rs the bank note
circulation is issued, the Secretary is
compelled to redeem the certificates In
greenbacks, and therefore requires good
currency balance on hand for an emer-
gency. for. at the rate the applications
come in, $5,000,O00 or $4,000, 900 of
currency may be required in brief time
There is no reason to anticipate any i'm
portant change in what is known as the
gold selling and bond purchasing policy
OF the Secretary. lie anticipates that
the total reduction Of the public debt for
the next fiscal year, including payments
on account Of the sinking fund, will be
about $50, 600, 600, though he re asserts
what be stated in December, that the es
timated expenditures for the next fiscal
year, including payments On account of
the sinking fund, and for the interest On
the public debt, are so nearly equal to
The receipts as to justify and demand the
greatest caution in dealing with the reve-
nues and business OF the country. It is
very evident, therefore, that there will
be no further reduction Of taxation st
this session OF Congress. Thus stands
as represented at the Treasury Depart
ment on the ist Of January, 1871.

TEIE DEWGgGATEGEg.A.

Parties are the outgrovth of certain
ideas which stand out with mora or less
prominence at different times, although
they are frequently concealed by the
rubbish Of party platforms The lead
lng idea Of the Democratic party previous
to the rebellion, has the absolute equality
Of the systems Of liberty and slavery IN
der our constitution whereas the fact
was, that where slavery existed, perfect
liberty could not exist.-The right of
secession was another leading idea which
took possession ofa great majority of the
Democratic party; and although more
shan four years Of war practically settled
both these questions, still the ideas sur
vive, only awaiting the time when the
people shall be surprised or deceived
into conhding power in the hands of
those who would have betrayed the coun-
try.
There is an attempt, indeed, on the
part OF the shreWdest managers, to keep
these ideas III the background. by Great
ing a diversion, by taking Of tariff civil
reform and high taxes, as though any
government could exist without material
support. But although these ideas form
| the lower suhstratum UPON which the
Democratic party rests, they viii crop
ont through the indiscretion Of some
honest enthusiasts, as the lower sand
stone sometimes shows itself out OF and
above its normal position, or as the ears
Of the ass protrude from the lion skin.
As evidence OF this fact, we have only
TO read the papers, and we End that the
! party which sustained secession and
slavery, is to-day the revifer of Lincoln,
the enlogist Of Gen. Lse, the defender of
McCreery who would exhume the bones
Of cur dead heroes at Arlington, and the
apoloeist for John IT. Surratt who is
publicly boasting Of his attempt to kid
nap the President Of the United States
Alexander Fl. Stevens history of the
| war between the States receives the
plaudits of the same press, when it is
distinguished only b. the earnestness
with which it advocates the right Of Sc
cession, The l4th and 9TH amendments
are declared TO be illegally adopted,
which the right Of all rebels from JEFF
Davis to Forrest to the ballot is held to
be more sacred than thai of the union
soldier crippled for life. These straws
show which way The wind blows Osh
