THR TRF1SURY COIN BALANCE.

The last statement OF the Public Debt Is
dcceptive-un so, we presume-ln
one important particular. 1t conveys the I'M
preston that the bullion owned by the Treasury
is five million dollars less than the true amount.
On the first day of the present month every
bond called for redemption under the hrst
contract with the Syndicate had matured, and
the resulting change could only be to increase
the five per cent bonds and decrease the interest
bearing SIX per cents by the sum OF S55l 1850,
that being the total of the $10,113,55O bids Tor
bonds at above par by home subscribers ana
S4j,OOOOeO subscription from the Syndicate, ac-
cepted by Secretary Bristow. The exact figures
we take from the Secretary's annual report, IN
which he further states that the fractional SUM OF
$i19,55o was provided for by his acceptance IN
exchange for the new loan of bonds not called
for redemption. The remaining S55,ooe'ooo
were called for payment in the usual way the
last installment of five millions falling due on
the 1st of the current month. The PUBIC

bans could only learn lesson OF their OPP
pressors, it would be greatly to their advan-
tage to see how the practical gentlemen OF
the Spanish Casino subordinate all other con-
siderations to those of business. They may
be Carlists or Alfonsists, or Republicans; they
may think each other rogues and traitors; but
all this does not prevent them from working
together as one man in any scheme which
will forward their cause and enable them to
make money out of the war. If the Creoles
who want to be free could act thus harmoni-
ously together for ten days, the Antilles

LENT IND EdNHION.

With the beginning of Lent, Society, 80
called, lays aside the worldly pleasures of the
grosser sort, and devOtes itself, let us hope,
to penitence and reform. Neither of these
religious experiences, however, is interfered
with, according to popular belief, by decorous
gayety, such as is to be found in concerts,
quiet dinner parties, lunches, or occasional
dances-wthout a band. "The bands the
ching to touch the conscience of the" devout
waltzor Fashionable religion has phases
more curious and worthy of study than
fashionable dressing. We fancy that with the
great majority of the gay world the cessation
of general festivities il relief. A great ball
or even wedding is an occasion when all the
lower strata of fashionable society make an
anxious, painful effort to rise to higher levels
and prove their right to remain there. When
ever there is contact between different
"circles," "cliques,r the miserable struggle
continues In Lent each class can draw back
comfortably within its own limits. AS long as
il lasts Mrs. Smith does not vex her soul If
she is not invited to certain houses ut whose
doors she pleads for entrance the rest OF the
wear. at is considered bad FORM" she tells
YOU, Gin all respectable circles to appear in
"society during the holy season:"
She knows nobody will dare gainsay the
doctrine of Responsibility -Fashion-the vague
something which molds the lives of as many
men and women in America as does religion.
After all, would it not be worth our while to
gain some definite comprehension of what this
ruling power is There has long enough
been an air-drawn line in every city, town, or
country neighborhood about certain families
or individuals; within the line are the haut
ton, the creme of society" we have dozen
awkward pseudonymns for what our English
cousins can set down boldly as nobility and
gentry. Every reader of THE TRIBUNE can
count off upon his fingers the happy minority
who in his own town dwell within this magic
ring; and he can, il he chooses, tell too Of
the lifelong struggles of those without to

Apparent decrease.

The simple explanation of the above is, OF
course, that S10,119J00 from the Syndicate IN
gold coin, or an equivalent in matured coupons
or past due bonds, have yet to be entered on the
Treasury books, while the Treasury has only
S5,OO0,OO0 to carry from the Understanding to
the past due debt. But observe the important
effect of this sort of bookkeeping on the
Treasury coin balance. The coin balance in
the Treasury, as it is called, (thOugh bullion
balance is the proper name for 1t, since 1t is
made up of both gold and silver, coined and
uncoined and in process of coinage) represents,
so far as the Atlantic States are concerned,
pretty much all the coin in use in the country.
The gold certificates stand for coin owned by
individuals, while the bullion aad remainder OF
the coin, after deductng the certificates, are the
property of the Treasury. About % per cent
of the customs received at this port are paid
in Treasury certificates, which shows the fact
to be as we have stated. II thus appears that
the Treasury statements of the total bullion
on hand and outstanding certificates OF de-
poslt are Of no little significance to mer-
chants, bankers, and all others concerned in
transactions involving the use OF gold. But
the last Debt statement gives the Treasury
S.. 900 900 too little and the certificate holders
s., ,OOO, 900 too much, and therefore must mis-
lead every one Who mas not all the facts we
have stated at his fingers ends. The Debt
statement gives the total coin and bullion
at 500, ,4G5084 So, and the coin certificates at
s94, ,655, ,3OO which leaves S4,SO ,7S4 SO as the
amount owned by the Treasury. But the true
figures are S49,SO9,7Si sS belonging to the
Treasury, and only 800 to deposltors.
1t is, we think, ten times more likely that
the Treasury will own $5O,OO0,0OO in bullion
ON the 1st Of March next than that its gold
and silver will suffer any diminution at all.
Nor is there any reason for soicitude about
the gold not owned by the Treasury. Gold
can be brought from London to New-York
just as easily as it can be carried from New
York to London. Whenever profit can be
made by importing gold it will be imported.
If no profit can be made on its importation it
is plain that it is not wanted. Besides, are
not thirty millions to be paid out between
now and June 80 in redemption of bonds for
the Sinking Fund.-

Bishop Huntington in late comprehensive and
eloquent treatise presented clearly the two ways OF
meeting the Indian problem The first, practced
by the Government and States until about SIX years
ago, consisted in gaining possession of the Indian
lands; by treaties disregardng the treaties and
pressing the discomfort and revenge of the Indian
by military force. The second way was to fulfill
all treaty obligations hcnorably to protect the red
man. 80 far as practicable, from the piage and
vices of the white and to labor earnestly in his be-
half for his civilization and ChristianizatiOn. The
result has been an unhoped for actual progress on
the part of the savages, and a sudden development
of their real character under honest treatment and
the warmth of kndliness, and recognition of it by
the public No man. not even redskin, is likely to
show his most amiabe characteristics to the man

the rapid advance made by them. 1t is a notewor-

There have been for some time such rela-
tions between the Pennsylvania Central and
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroads as could
hardly conduce to loving harmony in effort.
One road has cut down the price of Baltimore
freights. and the other has responded by re-
ducing the tariff for Philadelphia freight.
Now the rivalry has reached such a pitch
that through tickets cannot be bought
in the city for points beyond Bal
timore, and Baltimore and Ohio agents
have to purchase local tickets over
the Pennsylvania line for their patrons,
who are obliged to buy new tickets in Balti-
more and have baggage checked anew. Hence
comes much inconvenience to the travelling
public and bitter war between the railroads.
They are redoubtable antagonists and either
is capable of giving or taking very hard
knocks, but the Baltimore and Ohio Company
with its abundant snrnlus is perhaps the
better prepared for tough contest.

The receipts from customs at this port for
the first IS days of February have been
s6.A96,9OO. against Ss1S7,sl4 for the entire
month of January. AS the new tax bill does
not at all increase the duties on any goods
now on shipboard for importation or in ware
house in our ports, this favorable showing can
hardly be attributed to dread OF that act.
The receipts yesterday were s746.o0O. which
we ascribe to the arrival of fleet of delayed
steamers on Saturday and Sunday.
