The Nee York Herald, republican. Of

terms of our Secretary Of the Treasury,
and chnractcrixcs him US being better
partisan stump speaker than statesman in
financial matters. The Herald compares
the administrations Of Andrew johnson
sud General Grant. and adds. mir. John.
son did as well as General Grant, or bet
ter" Continuing in its remarks, il says:
''l3ut, after all, what crcdi, 10 due to
any administration for paying Of the debt
when the money is wrung from an over
taxed people. aud the revenue comes in
like food at the rate Of four hundred
millions or so year? MIR. Boutwell, could
not help paying the debt unless he had
thrown the enormous surplus revenue that
cutnc to his hands into the sea. The real
question at issue is, has the Secretary
made the best use Of the means ut bis dis
posal? He has KEEP. over hundred mil
lions Of unproduc,ivs capital locked up'in
the Treasury all the time, which, had he
used properly. would have saved to the
nation siuce he has been in the Office
twcuty millions Of dollars. Il
With regard TO handling and funding
the public debt Mr.. Boutwell, has failed.
Out Of fifteen hundred millions Of five
twentics TO be funded he hns been able to
dispose Of only two hundred millions Of
Ave per cents, If, indeed he has been able
to dispose Of this sum. after the most ex-
traordinary efforts and great flourish. In
this he has violated the principle Of the
funding law IL not the letter. The bonds
were to bo exchanged a. par, or for par in
gold, and in no case was the debt 10 be in
creased. Yet he confesses he gives the
Syndicate, which, by the way, he docs not
even name. three months interest on n
hundred and thirty millions. Thus this
favored Syndicace. or in other words, a
few favored bankers, are given one million
six hundred and twenty five thousand dol.
lars in addition to the one-half per cent
commission TO do what the Treasury could
have have done as we'll, or better 1t i,
not certain yet that this Syndicate will moi
fail, and in that case the Governmen,
would be the loser. The Secretary is do.
ing his best to save the spectators, but
circumstances may Prove too powerful fol
him aud them. At all events il is a grcal
job at the expense of the Treasury
As far as Mr. Boutwcll's promises &c
to reduce taxation aud the yearly amount
applied TO the liquidation of the deb, the,
are good enough, but it remains 10 be see,
IL he and the party will carry ou, what il
promised. We have urged this policy Owe
and over again upon the Administratio,
and Congress. Let US hope the prescu
talk about reform may not be an election

to keep up taxation and large revcnu
