Federal Finances.


However gratifying Il may be to an
nOunee monthly reduction Of the public
debt, the fact is not to be lost sight Of that
this reduction comes not from the economy
Of the Government, but from the enQrm-
Gus taxation imposed upon the people.
These taxes, even for the last fiscal year,
ending June 30, 1872, were largely over
ONE MILLION A DAY FOR EVERY DAY IN
THEYgAR-s8TI, LOG, 867-S2lG,370.2SG
from customs and $3.50, 642,177 from in
ternal revenue. The ordinary expendi-
lures, including sll7 1857 ,s39 for interest
on the public debt, were s270,559 ,695,
leaving for current expenses, exclusive Of
intrest, $3.50, 19l ,S54. Over one hun
dred millions was raised by taxation over
the amount necessary TO carry on the
Government, which amount was 1853, 000,-
900 for the several Departments The
balance went to reduce the national debt,
and s99, $50 ,253 was applied to that pur-
pose. The moral effect of this immense
amount Of money taken from the pockets
of the people and put into the Treasury
has been TO create an amount Of extavag-
ance which would not be tolerated for
moment, if the income from taxes in some
measure corresponded to the real necessi-
ties Of the Government These ordinary
expenses have more than doubled since the
civil war, and are out Of all proportion 10
what ought to be considered a wise and
intelligent administration Of public affairs
The Secretary Of the Treasury, is not con
tent with reasonable reduction Of the
public debt, but seems to have childish
ambition to reduce it as much as possible
while he is in Office, and without the least
regard to the hundreds of millions of tax
imposed upon the people. The amount of
money in the Treasury is the excuse for
all sorts of jobs in Congress, and for this
session pipe is laid for putting through, by
hook or by crook, more of these measures
than ever before. 1t, therefore, becomes
the true friends Of the Government not To
tolerate these unjust expenditures, and at
the same time keep the taxes down to the
point of sinking the public debt to s25,-
100000, instead Of nearly 100000 900,
year. The receipts for the year ending
June 30, 1874, are estimated at 1920, 300,-
900 and the expenditures at S2S6 600 900;
estimated surplus, s33,700,0 900. The ex-
penses ought not to be so large, and the
real surplus much greater, for the reasons
we have named.-N y Express

A Generous Gallant.

4 gallant has just died in the neighbor-
hood of Troy, n. Y. Many years ago he
broke an engagement to marry, and now
he has left the Tilted lady a snug ten thou
sand. In his will he thus tells the gentle
story
Many years since, before my acquaint-
ance with the late Mrs Dunlop, was en-
gagged to Miss Aiken, which engagement,
for certain reasons, was broken of by me.
| have not seen her for over thirty years,
but know that she is still alive, and now,
for partial reparation for the wrong com
mitted, and should she still live at the time
of my death and will receive it, | direct
my executors to pay her in three annual
instruments, within twelve months, the
sum of $4,000; if she refuse it, the
amount to revert to my daughter Jesse"
1t is stated that the lady has accepted
the offer. and has received the money.
The name Of her friend was Archibald
