TBs GOVERNMENTS EXPENDITURES.

Just before Congress adjourned we were
promised great things by Messrs. Dawes and
Garfield in the way of a reduction of Govern
ment expenditures. The full contribution OF
thirty million dollars to the Sinking Fund was to
be made this year, and the money was to come
from the excess of receipts over expenses.
Mr., Dawes said 81 have the utmost conf
"dence, and authority / believe on the part
" of the Committee and those who have studied
the subject, to say that this side of the
"ledger which shows the receipts to meet
"these expenditures, will be equally gratifying
"to the American people; that not only
" the current expenditures will be found met
"by the receipts of the Government, but there
"will be over and above more than enough
to meet the Sinking Fund. - / believe
"the Sinking Fund will be safe with the
"present receipts and with the reduction OF
expenditures for the next fiscal year." Mr..
Garfeld's remarks were entirely in accord
with those of Mr.. Dawes. We do not look
for anything prophetic from Messrs. Dawes
| and Garfield, but we have a right to expect
| from the Chairmen of the House Committees
| of Ways and Means and Appropriations safe
and cautious estimates Of the income. and
outgo of the Treasury. 1t Is their duty not
Il
| to overstate the one or belittle the other. The
first quarter Of the fiscal year having elapsed,
we are in position to examine whether these
| financial leaders estimated as true guardians
of the public interests or whether they were
talking for effect on the elections.
| Firstly, as to the receipts. We acquit
Messrs. Dawes and Garfield of over estimat-
| ing on that side. The receipts from Internal
| Revenue have been greater than they were a
| year ago, though the comparison is made
| with period which preceded the panic. The
receipts from Customs are only about two
millions less than in the first quarter of last
| year. and that is doing very well when we
| consider the change that has since come over
the business world. The following is COM
parison Of the customs receipts at the Sub
! Treasury at New-York, which takes in nearly
three fourths of the entire duties on imports

1t is very clear that no reasonable expecta-
tons in regard to the receipts from taxes
have been disappointed.
Secondly, as to the expenditures. We say
expenditures and not appropriations. No one
doubts that the appropriations were cut down,
but it is equally certain that the expenditures
may go on as usual, provided sufficiently large
deficiency bills are passed next Winter. That
will be after the election. Three of the twelve
months of the fiscal year are gone, and there
is no evidence that we can see that the ex-

THE KEYNOTE OF THE CAMPAIGN.

It was sounded some weeks ago through
the Administration press, and all the conven-
tons and orators have been playing upon it
ever since. 1t began with ripple of South
ern outrages, a low wash of narrowing nara
tives of cruelty and oppression of the colored
citizen by the unrepeDtant Rebel. Breaches of
the peace, violations of law, and occasional
scenes of disorder there have been all along at
the South doubtless. as everywhere else in

ton beyond the locality or being made the
theme of able and ardent newspaper articles,

The above statistical information, which Is
wholly derived from official sources, and
which includes all the information on the sub
ject communicated to the public, so far as we
know, does not seem to us exactly to bear out
the statements made by Messrs. Dawes and
Garfield on the floor of Congress on the 23d
of June last. We shall be happy to publish
any statement of facts Of character to re-
move the doubts which must naturally arise
regarding the correctness of the estimates OF
these distinguished gentlemen. We are will
ing and anxious to be convinced that they
estimated as statesmen and not as politicians
with a side glance at the approaching cleo
tons.
Since the above was put in type there has
appeared what purports to be an official state
ment of the revenue for the first quarter OF
the year. The comparison with 1878 is as fol-
