4 .SECRETARY'S BOASTTNG.

There are two facts relating to the Govern
ment finances which no sensible person Will
attempt to deny: 1. The receipts have ex-
ceeded the expenditures; and 2. The taxes
have been more productive since 1868 than
they were previous to that year. This condi-
ton of things is certainly very gratifying, yet
Mr.. Boutwell, and the partisans of the Admin
istration generally boldly advance third
claim-that the Government has been more
economically conducted by Congress and Gen.
Grant than by their predecessors. In support
of this claim Mr. Dawes lately made "A speech
in which was embodied a statement purpOrt-
ing to show that the Government expenses
were twelve per cent less per capita in 1871
than in 1860, after deducting the expenses
necessarily growing out of the war. This
statement Mr.. Boutwell, approves in his North
Carolina speech, though its talsity, blunders,
and perversions have already been fully ex-
posed in THE TRIBUNE and other journals.
Mr.. Boutwell, gives us the information that
the statement was prepared by Mr.. COnant,
head of the Warrant Division of the Treasury
Department If so, we shall hope to see a
person of more honor and capacity at the head
of that Division before twelve months more
elapse
IL should be considered no Venlal OuenSe
on the part of Government officials TO
attempt to deceive and mislead the people
in regard to the use which has been made
of public money. Mr.. Boutwell, himself, as
we shall show, is guilty of aggravated
misconduct of this kind. He seeks to
convey the impression that the present Ad-
ministration has effected a retrcnchment of
one hundred million dollars in the public ex-
penditures since 1868, whereas the simple truth
is that no retrenchment whatever has been
effected, but almost every branch of the public
service, the army and navy alone excepted,
is conducted at increased cost. Mr.. Boutwell,,
states the expenditures for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1872 at $277,000000. AS the finance
report covering the year 1912 is not published
until next Winter, we cannot be expected to
deal with those small particulars which Mr..
Boutwell, sees fit to retail in advance of their
presentation to Congress- but we do propose
to say few words in regard to the sum of
S292, III, 1885, which Mr.. Boutwell, gives as the
aggregate expenditure for the fiscal year 1871.
1t is not true that the aggregate expenditures
for the year 1871 were only S292OO OOO,OOO 1t is
true that the Secretary of the Treasury, by
petty bit of sleight of hand, attempts TO cut
down the expenditures of the military estab-
lishment from S44,10OOOO to S35,sOOO 900 by de-
Quoting the proceeds of sales of arms to the |
French during the Franco-Prussian war. The |
effect of this is 10 reduce nominaly both |
the receipts and expenditures of the |

SEN1TOR PENTON At ALBANY.

Senator Fenton makes few speeches, and
they always deserve attention. In that which
he made last night at Tweddle Hall, and
which we print in full this morning on
our second and third pages, he deals with
the currency and national finances. He
shows that Congress and the Administration
have done absolutely nothing to restore specie
payments The nation has made some natural
progress in that direction, since business and
population have increased while the currency
has been kept stationary; but the Governmcn;
has no title TO credit for this. All that Mr.
Boutwell, can justly lay claim to is that things
have been left to take their natural course
Mr.. Boutwell's North Carolina buster about
placing and keeping the country in that line
" and condition of prosperity which shall
"enable it to meet all its Obligations"-a
merit which he modestly claims for the ad-
mnistration of Gen. Grant--is easily brushed
away by the clear-headed Senator from New.
York
Mr.. Fenton also devOtes q portion of his
speech to the exposure Of the absurd pretense
that the national expenditures, due allowance
being made for the legacies of the war are
less in proportion to the population under
Grant than they were under Buchanan. This
most absurd proposition. originally concocted
as Mr.. Boutwell, tells us, by Treasury clerk
has been adopted both by Mr.. Dawes and by
Secretary Boutwell, himself. Such a farago
of blunders, mendacity, and willfui peryersion
of notorious facts we do not remember ever
TO have met with Mr.. Fenton exposes but

structure is pyramid balanced on its apex, a
very slight blow is sufficient to upset it. He
also spois Mr. Boutwell's glorfcation over
the reduction of the public debt by quoting
from Mr.. Boutwelrs speech in 1866, in which
that gentleman shows that tho debt was re-
duced much faster under johnson than under
Grant. and predicts great reductions OF the
debt in the future as a matter of course.
Lastly he notices the wretched success which
the Administration has had in funding the
debt at a lower rate of interest, and concludes
by severely condemning the Secretary's deal
ings with the Syndicate. 1t is a speech which
will be profitable reading for all who take an
intelligent interest in the financial operations
of the Government.
New-York tribune., 1872-07-19
MR. BoUTVELL IND THE TRUTH

Whether a Secretary of the Treasury ought
or ought not to leave his Department for a
stumpng tour III behalf of his "boss," and
incidentally of himself, it is clear that he
ought, if he speaks at all, to keep truth on
his side Mr.. Boutwell, defes this axiom in
order to misrepresent THE TRIBUNE.
He asserts that this journal advised him to
sell all the Gold IN the Treasury, apply the
proceeds to the payment of Public Debt, then
"resume Specie Payment" This is not so, and
Mr.. Boutwell, should know it is not. THE TRIB-
UNE has indeed steadfastly maintained that the
Government, with One Hundred Millions of
Gold in its Treasury, and an income exceeding
its necessary outlays by still larger amount
per annum, might have resumed Specie Pay
ment if it had chosen to do so; that it failed
to do this through lack of power, not of will.
Does any one doubt this Would the Banks,
when suspended, ever have doubted their
ability to resume under like cOndidonsf You
know they would not. We have thus far
failed to resume, not because we did not choose
to do so. Yet this journal never dreamed of
paying out all our specie and then resuming.
But since we were plainly not intent on re-
suming-prouH not resume-then The TRIBUNE
says that the One Hundred Millions lying idle in
the Treasury for the greater part of the last
three years ought long since to have been de
voted to the payment of the Public Debt. We
might thus have saved many millions which
we have since paid away in interest, and
kept the money in use which has lain for
years dead in the Treasury. The Treasury
might at first have bought for coin our unma-
tured bonds ten In fifteen DeT cent below the
prices We have since paid for them, and thus

often our misfortune to disagree with Tho

it is possibly owing to his absence from tho

sayed in principal and interest not less than
Twenty-Five Millions Of Dollars. Such has
been The TRIBUNE's view of this financial ques-
ton, by misrepresenting which Mr.. Boutwell,
seeks to alarm timid capitalists and drive
them into voting for Grant. He cannot do it
by candidly setting forth the truth.
New-York tribune., 1872-07-19

Poor NJ. Thiers has been stung into Ietort
at last. The Right having charged the Gov
ernment with want of economy, the President
replied that their opposition should be political
not financial. He very properly reminds the
opposition that the Government cannot get on
without the support of the legislative branch.
The attitude of the Right shows cOnclusively
that they have determined to oppose the
Executive at every step.
New-York tribune., 1872-07-19

Government by ss,Sooooo. IF tho year
1871 s,ood alone, this would not be
snecaIv objectionable but it is manifestly un-
fair TO compare accounts thus doctored win
those which have not been subjected 10 such
processes. We presume. although France ana
Germany were then at peace, that arms and
stores were sold in 1868 and the other years.
Mr. Routwell. however, was the first to make
them doubly profitable by the process of can
collation.. by which the income of the Govern
ment is cut down, the expenditures reduced,
and a deceitful sembance of economy pre-
sented without any actual decrease of expendi-
tures. We said the other day, and we repeat
il here, the finance reports are disgrace to
the nation. The scurvy little trick with the
army expenditures is not the only one of the
kind of which we discover traces
in the Secretarys report for 1871.
Previous to 1871 we have generally been able
TO discover the cost of the Patent-Ofice. In
1871 this item Of public expenditure, amounting
usually to between S50OOOO and S1,00O,0OO per
annum, disappears. In the utter absence OF
information, we are unable to do more than
conjecture what disposition has been made OF 1t,
but inasmuch as there seems to be no Item
covering the Patent-OGice in the table OF
expenditures, we suppose the cost OF tna'
establishment has been Cancelled by the pro-
cess of deducting the fees and other receipts
from the expenditures, and transferring the
remainder to some account OF suhuileS'

opposition that the Government cannot get on
without the support of the legislative branch.
The attitude of the Right shows cOnclusivey
that they have determined to oppose the
Executive at every step.
That a great calm has succeeded the storm
of discussion of American relations in the
English newspapers was apparent from the
appearance of the cable dispatches. About the
last of June there was sudden cessation in
the drift of British opinion sent under the
ocean by the wires We were severely let
alone Our London correspondent explains
this in his letter which is printed to-day, and
tells us that the journals are tired Of the dis
cussion; ours were tired of the business long
ago, when it was discovered that our State
Department had put us in the vocative from
the beginning.
Baron Deasy, who is trying the persons ac-
cused of burning Justice KeOgh In eillgy, has
very mild opinion of American political
manners and morals. Justice Keogh was sent
10 Galway TO inquire into the legality OF the
election of Capt. Nolan, Home Rule candidate
for Parliament. His report was very bitter
against the ROmish priesthood, and brought
about the unseating of Nolan. The people
were much exasperated against Keogh, whom
they burned in effigy. This would be called
a sportive transaction in some parts of this
country; but Baron Deasy in opening the
case, said such proceedings would not be even
tolerated in the United States during Presi-
dental campaign. Unsophisticated Deasy!
Judge Barrards case makes but little pro-
cress in the Court of Impeachment. Yesterday
the usual motion for delay was granted, the
counsel for the prosecution agreeing thereto
as their own witnesses were not at hand The
trial, however, only went over until to-day
when il is likely to be taken up IL earnest
