THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

If the Administration and Congress
. were possessed of sound economical
ideas, great good might be worked out
Of the evil which they have brought
upon the country. But they seem
hopelessly given over to the policy OF
temporary expedients and permanent
extravagance Increased taxation and
imitation of the currency are to take the
place of rigorous retrenchment and a
pure currency. The people are COM
PEELED to retrench, but the Government
refuses to follow suit. Our exports are
increasing, our imports are decreasing.
This is a healthy indication, SO far as
the country at large is concerned. But
a reduction in imports causes a reduc-
ton in customs revenues. The Admin
istration cannot tolerate this diminu-
ton in its funds, and so it threatens a
policy which shall renew the evils of
the past, and restore taxes which have
been abolished. Whereas, if 1t would
reduce expenditures to the lowest pos
sible point, legitimate industry would
be benefited, and moonshine projects
only would suffer.
The exports of domestic produce at
the port of New York during the
month of November, for three years,
exhibit the following gratifying i'm

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Questions i'm Bankruptcy Adjudiicafed
by the Supreme Court Of the United
cincinnati Commercial.

States.
From the Cincfnnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 22.-In the case
of Wilson VS.. The City Bank of st.
Paul, Minnesota, g very important de-
cision was made by Mr.. Justice Miller,
which the Court in his opinion, says is
not in accordance with the decisions Of
most of the District Judges. The case
was this: Vanderhoof Brothers became
embarrassed and unable to pay their
debts. The bank sued them on a note
previously given, took a Judgment by
default, took out execution, and levied
on their stock of goods. At the time
the action was brought both the bank
and it's debtors knew they were insol-
vent, and had committed an act of
bankruptcy. After the Judgment and
levy another creditor, Wilson" COM
menced proceedings in bankruptcy
against the same debtors, and they
were adjudged bankrupts before the
same, and the assignee claimed the
goods thus levied upon, insisting tat
the debtors in allowing Judgment to go
against them by default were guilty of
fraud upon the bankrupt law, and of
preferring the bank as creditor.
On the trial the following questions
arose, in relation to which the Judges
were opposed in opinion. First =
Whether or not an intent on the part
of said debtors, Vandelhoof Bros, to
suffer their property to be taken on levy
process, to-vrit; the said execution with
intent to give preference to said bank,
or with intent thereby to defeat or de-
lay the operation of the Bankrupt Act,
can be inferred from the foregoing
facts. Second Whether under said
facts, the said bank, in obtaining said
Judgment and making the said levy,
had reasonable cause to believe that a
fraud on the Bankrupt Act was intend
ed. Third-W Whether. under said facts,
the bank obtained by the levy of its
execution valid lien on the said goods
as against the assignee in bankruptcy.
The Supreme Court answers the first
two queries in the negative. and the
third IN the affirmative, and in an elab-
crate opinion holds that the debtors
were under no moral or legal obligation
to defend the action brought by the
bank, and were under no obligation to
go into voluntary bankruptcy to pre-
vent the bank from gaining a prefer
ence over the other creditors, andthat
the bank was guilty of no violation of
or fraud upon the bankruptcy law, in
bringing the action and obtaining the
Judgment fairly, had secured valid
lien on the goods taken in execution
with which the assignee could not in
terfere, and was only entitled to the
surplus after paying the bank debt
This settles an important question
which has long vexed the Courts and
