DEP ARTMENT REPORTS
THE TREASURY.

Annual Report of Secretary Bristow--
An Exhaustive Exhibit of the Nations
Finamces--He EmphaticaIly Urges an
Early Return to Specie Payments.
The annual report of Secretary Bristow is a
yoiuminous document being nearly three
times the length of the Presidents message.
We present below the most important features
of the report The total net revenue of the
government for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1874, was $269. 478, 1861 Of, and the ordi-
nary expenses $287. 1873, 873 76; balance in
Treasury June 80, 1874, $3.50, 731, 694.63 For
the first quarter of the fiscal year 1875 the
net receipts were $3.50, 1874, 285. 80; and the ex-
penditures 1856, 313 1912. For the remain
ing three quarters the Secretary estimates
the receipts at $203, 434, 600, and the expendi-
lures at $3.50, 100000. He estimates that the
receipts for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1875, will be 1928, OO0 900. and the expendi-
lures ATS, 0O0
During the fiscal year the public debt was
reduced by the sum Of $5,762, 447.65, as will
appear by the following statement:

both of which are under Democratic rule,
and the peace and quiet to be found within
her borders is only disturbed by occasional
ebullitions Of Democratic malevolence. In
Arkansas, filed as it Is with people who
were known before the war as turbulent
the Presidents interference to secure good
government received the warm approval
and the earnest Endorsement Of the TIT
6URe. It was honestly intended TO give the
people an opportunity to reorganize their
affairs to suit themselves, and If he is re-
sponsible for the results which have fol-
lowed the Tri6WHs itself must share the
blame. The same may be said Of Texas
Coke, the Democratic Governor of that
State, owes his position to the Presidents
impartial sense Of justice. When Davis,
the defeated Republican candidate, appealed
for aid to retain the Governorship the Pres
ident declined to grantit In this instance,
as in the case Of Arkansas, the Tribune
commended the Presidents course.
But it is idle nonsense to proceed with
this analysis of the TYibWne's inconsisten-
Giles. They are 50 plain and SO glaring that
they expose themselves and at the same
time expose the Tri5Ea6's ineficiency as a
liar. "To be good liar, y says the old
adage, zone must have . good memory, 3"
and in this qualification the Tribune is sadly
deficient. Occasionally, however, 1t blum
ders into good deed, as it did few days
ago in reproducing, for the benefit of Its
Southern readers, if 1t has any, quotation
from the Presidents second Inaugural Ad-
dress. 1t is a quotation which is so apt to
the present day and so pertinent to much
of the current discussion TINT 1t should be
reprinted by every political newspaper in
the land. 1t would have stiffened the back
bones Of some of the weak kneed Republi-
cans of North Carolina, and 1t will serve
now to revive some half forgotten memories
of the principles of the Republican party
when it rallied its forces to victory in 1867
and 1868. 1t reads as follows: -.
"The effects Of the late civil war have been
to free the slave and make him g citizen. Yet
he is not possessed of the civil rights which
citizenship should carry with It. This IS wrong,
and should be corrected. To HiS correction
stand con,nitted so far as executive influence
can avail. Social equality is not subject to
be legislated upon, nor shall ask that any
thing be done to advance the social status of
the cOlored man, except to give him fair
chance to develop what there is good in him.
Give him access to schools, and when he Travels
let him feel assured that bis conduct will
regulate the treatment and fare he will re-
ceiYs." .. ...- a.

THERE can be very little doubt that the
Democracy won In the late election in
Vicksburg only by fraud and intimidation.
For days before tho election the opposition
papers were filed with threats of what
they would do and would not do in case
they were defssbed. The VicksbErgsr, for
instance, appealed to its party to let the
negroes know that this is a white man s
flown, built By white men and to be ruled
'tfor oil time by white men," The Missis-
gippi Pilot in accounting for the majority of
only 1888 in vote of 1000. says, 'fhe De-
'tmocracy were thoroughly organized and
earned, TO q man, with full determination
'to control the city, let the cost be what it
'tmight. Had the Republicans gone en- nIGs9s
''to the polls and voted, and had the officers
'fof election undertaken to do their sworn
'duty, many good and true colored citizens
would have forfeited their lives"

A SAN Francisco Journal cOngratulates fits
readers that they do not live on the Atlantic
slope. ''Nearly every Eastern journal now tells
us Of many uiseries that are almost unknown
in our blessed cline. One day there lie hur-
ricane, the next there is yellow fever, then
hydrophobia, then general smash by lightning,
and so on" In the paper from which this is
taken we have the details Of horrible murder
of an old man, the ''most CHASTITY that ever
borrifed the city," an account of the escape Of
a burglar from the sheriff, and reports Of about
two hundred minor offences in the police
courts.

THE RBPVBLfo4V PARTY.

There is nothing which Is 90 calculated to
shake confidence in the future of the Re-
publican party so much as the tendency at
this time in certain quarters to get up de-
Tense of the organization. Some editors and
some would-be leaders and politicians think
they must take the defensive, and make a
sort of halfway apologies for the course
the party has pursued. A more absurd
and ill-timed policy could not be devised
by the most bitter enemy of the party.
There is no reason that the Republican
party shall stand upon the defensive, or
that 1t should apologize for any short
comiugs. 1t has made no serious mistakes,
nor has It committed any wrong demand
ing an apology. Il is the party Of just and
true principles, and is also the party Of pro-
gress. What has it to apologize for, or
what to take backH Nothing, absolutely
nothing.
The policy of the Republican party in the
coming campaign must be an aggressive one
If it expects to win. The Democratic party
must be put upon the defensive, and for its
sins of omission and its sins Of commission
1t must be held up to the scorn and con-
tempt of an enlightened public. Its con-
duct before and during the war, and its
principles and policy since stamp it not
only as party Of the Bourbons, but dis
tinctly indicate that 1t is party Of bad and
wicked principles; that 1t is unpatriotic,
vicious and selfish; that it hates the colored
race, and would bring about a war ofraccs;
that under its control the nation would go
to ruin. In short, that the Democratic
party has not single principle nor an idea
in harmony with republican and demo
cratic institutions, but that 1t is thoroughly
selfish, narrow, conceited and full Of hate.
Its free-trsde doctrine, its reputation no.
tons, its greenback-infation policy and Its
rampant zeal for place, power and the spells
stamp it as wholly unfit to rule and govern
q great and free nation.
Upon all of the issues of righteous govern
ment and proper and patriotic administra-
ton thereof the Democratic party, for the
last thirty years, has been on the side of
despotic rule, and in favor of the few against
the many. Its written and outspoken his
tory identifies it with the slavery pr0pG-
qanda before the war, with secession and
rebellion during the conflict with negro
hatred and in favor of war Of races since
the war was ended.
The Republican party has noble record,
which needs no defence. Let its editors,
its orators and writers, therefore, put the
Democracy on the defensive, and charge
home upon them for their multitudinous
sins.
