new YORK. April 27- Erenino.-The day opened
IN wall with very quiet feeling and up 70 about
noon the markets were devoid of interesting lea
lures. The first evidence of any marked change in
the situation was in the Id Room where the market
suddenly became active and strong after having been
depressed by the sale of about S2000OOO under rule
1or a delinquent party. TIE price advanced / per
cent under the rise in Foreign Exchange and the
LONDON news of fu-thur loss of bullion by the bank
ana an increased activity in moDey. The rate for
slethng exchange was advanced by leading bankers
from 1865 g 4sS for so days and from 1891 a 49l for
demand. Ihis advance the result Of great
scarcity OF commercial bills and London news and
makes the shipment of gold to London profitable

tne prominent features of the day. Speculative

There is said to be $500 900 already packed for export
and there is talk that the weeks shipments will
reach two and BALI millions. Government bonds
have been active and closed strong. State bonds are
quiet and some descriptions trite better. The lead
ing stocks were alternately weak and strong until af-
ter o'clo when the whole market was strong and
prices advanced from a q per cent. on numerous
imitation bills presented in Congress. The CLOSING

From Bad to Worse.

If there is anything in which mere
partisanship should be avoided, it is GER
tainly in questions of public money We
appeal to thoughtful citizens of all parties,
and to all honest Congressman, however
classified to consider dispassionately the
present alarming deficiency in the reve-
nues of the United States Treasury The
temporary depression in our foreign i'm
ports produced by the panic has undoubt-
edly diminished the revenue, but the ex-
travagant appropriations of the Forty
second Congress- would have produced
deficiency without the aid of the panic.
Certain it is that the expenditures of the
current fiscal year will exceed those of
the last by several million dollars. and
yet the ordinary expenditures of the last
fiscal year are without precedent in the
history of the country. Why should the
Army expenditures be nearly three times
greater than they were in 1860? Why
should the cost of the Navy have more
than doubled in the same time p? Why
should it still cost six per cent to collect
the Internal Revenue?
The fiscal year 1869 was the last COM
plete year of Johnson's administration
Since then it has been claimed that the
Government has grown economical. We
should like to see in what branch of the
public expenditure this economy can be
found. The Public Debt has decreased,
and therefore the interest account is less
burdensome than it was six years ago.
Six years ago the Army was larger than
it is now, and vast sums were distributed
about that time in bounties to the sol
diers These two items of extraordinary
expense have naturally ceased to exist.
But the Navy costs as much and amounts
to as little as ever The chief remaining
items of public expenditure, so far as the
Secretary of the Treasury furnishes in
formation upon which comparison can
be based, compare as follows:

administration of justice rises in cost.
Public buildings call for FIVE times as
much as they did FIVE years ago. Indian
affairs require double the amount they
did in 1868, but what percentages go to
the Indians and what to the agents We
cannot say In every item there is an
increase, except in the solitary instance
of the Marine Hospital establishment.
Observe, too, that the current fiscal year
Is destined to show large advance on
the disbursements of the last. In the
year ended June 80, 1865, the last year Of
the war, the expenses of the Government,
after deducting the interest on the Debt,
drawbacks, pensions and the cost of the
Army and Navy, were only $34,015-
358 Sc The same expenses last year
were $75, 79l ,125 05, or several millions
more than double. In 1868 they were
$5l ,6S8,50l a. The responsibility for
the rapid increase of the public expendi-
lures cannot be saddled on the panic or
on Gen. Burriel. The taxes must at no
distant time be increased, and the rea-
sons why an increase of taxes is necessary
must be sought in the reckless infdelity
of those in power, both in and out of
Congress. Shall it continue unchecked.
and unrebuked3
1t is not surprising, therefore, that Con-
gressmen, alarmed at the yawning empti-
ness of the public chest. hesitate to re-
place the abolished taxes. Our Wash.
ington dispatches give vivid picture Of
the dismay which has been caused by
the reluctant admissions of Secretary

millions of appropriations are practically

and may be returned by them to the
available funds of the Treasury. Re-
is vigorously called for, and
we are assured that the Chairmen of tho
committees in charge of the rev.
snues and appropriations are in full ac-
cord upon this all-important subject.
These Yirtuous resolutions in favor of
are mournfully late; but nothing
else remains; the country is in q poor
state to endure increased taxation. Every
possible retrenchment must be insisted
lpon; and we shall be heartily glad if
Congress and the Secretary can show how
he expenses of the Government are to
De met without further imposition Of
