oelpts from customs are 80 variable as
to afford no data ut present Oh which to
base hopeful calculations concerning
the future. It is, however, supposed at
the Treasury Department. that in about
tep days. the receipts will be more
uniform. The Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue is much encouraged by
the receipts OF his bureau. SO far, for
this month. they are S3. 900, 900, and the
prospect ia they will soon be restored to
What they were before the late panic:
thus fulfilling his calculation of SlOO,
600, 600 annually. Several OF the mem.
bers OF the Appropriation Committee
think the estimates will be cut down
about $40. 600. 00a, but that this will
not be sufficient to bring the expendi-
lures OF the Government within the
receipts from all sources for the next
fiscal year. Therefore, some measure Of
treasury relief will be- necessary. As to
what this shall be, there is at present
no indication. Parties. however, will
not act hastily on the subject.
