apparently on very insufficient evidence, of a
desire to run away, while he was himself
protesting that he would be promptly on
hand whenever wanted. He came openly to
New York, registered his name openly at the
hotel he was accustomed to use, and went
about his business. These suspicious facts
led to great alarm, and because he chose to

a great parade of arresting him. Why

Mr. BRISTOWS REASONS FOR URGING
HJEHER T1KE0

Our Washington correspondence yesterday
contained the following summary Of Secretary
BrstOw's estimates of the revenue and expend-
lures for the coming fiscal year:
The Secretary said that while the Sinking Fund law
had not heretofore in all cases been compiled with,
should feel obliged carry It out to the letter. feeling
that he had discretion in tho matter. Al Tie outside
he could not erpec! greater g0H recenue for the coming
gear than s5JCOlOOO Under the above section OF this
he first pay 600 Of coin interest and
next. on account OF the Sinking Fund, he must use
S30ODOO)0 more, leaving balance OF only 100000,
which under this section could be paid into the Treasury
for the general appropriations of the Government Add
ing these $22 100000 1O5 00OJ0 which it is estimated
will be received from internal revenue, tie o!dE amount
ofresourccs at the control Of The Secretary 10 meet dirO
priqoHs made for The general expenses Of lie GoOeTn-
ment coaid thus amount 10 only sl27OOoOO0 In any
event with the possible economy, tho Secretary
regards increase Of Of from S3O0OOO TO So
100000 absolutely indispensable to meet necessary
EXPENSES.
With the utmost respect for Mr.. Bristow's
determination to take care of the Sinking
Fund, his revised estimates of revenue and
expenditure cannot be accepted as final and
conclusive

Year ended June 30, 1872. .$2l6370,2S7
Year ended June 30, 1872. 188,0S0,5!3
Year ended June 80, 1874. 1G3 103,S3i
and now the Secretary of the Treasury tells
the Committee Of Ways and Means that he
cannot count on greater gold revenue for the
year ending juno 30, 1876, than $i5O,OOO,0GO !!
Does he expect another panic : In his recent
official report, now barely two months old he
puts down the estimated receipts from GUS
toms for the fiscal year 1876, at $780, 00,0OO-or
q round $4,000, 900 more than his present esti
mate There are hundreds of men in this city
who are better qualified than Secretary Bris-
tow can possibly be to form a judgment of the
aggregate imports of this country for the
coming fiscal year. Can the Secretary produce
single one of them who would subscribe his
name to the opinion that the duty-paying i'm
ports for the year ending June 3d. 1876, will fall
eight per cent below the depressed trade of
the current year, or of that ended with June
last No duties have been taken off, and it
is not proposed to take off any. Increase Of
imports will therefore bring with it increase of
the customs receipts. The present estimate Of
$l5O,000 0C0 in our judgment is more likely to
prove twenty millions below the mark than to
be anywhere near accuracy. Take our former
experience rs guide. IL 1857 there was a COM
mcrcal crisis in every way worthy to be COM
pared with the catastrophe of 1873. What was

We must ask our friends to bear with us
for q few days in case they find their copies
of The TRIBUNE printed on unsatisfactory
paper. The extraordinary demand made upon
our stock of paper by the constant triple
sheets of the past month and the large in
crease in our circulation had combined to re-
duce it TO a very low point, when the cold
weather came on, freezing up the streams
and stopping the supply from three
of the paper mills on which we depended.
For a week or two, therefore, we have been
compelled to take such paper as we could get,
including three successive lots which had been
previously rejected. To add to our embarrass-
ments some carloads have gone astray on
the Erie road, and we are now diligently
engaged in having them hunted up by tele-
graph. Within few days we hope that

plant.

G Secretary of the Treasury:

Uuuc oO, lCOO-- ooojOAOJllV OpJlO' ~
In explanation of the circumstance that the
revenue from customs was less Ill 1860 than in
1857, though the value of the imports is
greater, it is necessary to state that the duties
were lowered by the act of March 3, 1857, and
not raised again until 1861. 1t is sufficiently
clear that the import trade had in 1880 COM
petcy recovered from the prOstration of 1853.
In the present case it is, perhaps, justitable
to estimate the customs for the current fiscal
year at trhe less than the amount received
last year. For the first five months Of the
year, as the Secretary himself informs us in
his regular report, they produced S69,4O7011,
and for the same months in 1873, S70,438,737
This is a falling off OF one million dollars.
but it must be considered that the receipts
in 1873 take in two months antecedent to the
panic. The receipts at this port are now
keeping well up with those of the correspond
ing period of last year. and, taking the most
unfavOrable view, it is not probable that the
total falling oil for the whole year for all the
ports will exceed three million dollars, which
would still leave the aggregate at above
Sl6OO0O,OOO. We are unable to believe it
within the bounds of possibility that the CHS
toms revenue for next year will fall below the
total of this year, much less drop to
s15OOOO,OOO. Mr. Bristow's original estimate
of $40, 100000 appears to us to be sufficiently
safe, and we cannot even imagine his reasons
for departing from it.
III. Mr. Bristow's estimate of the "t0tal
"amount of resources" at his command to meet
the expenses of the Government is sill further
beyond the bounds of reasonable probability.
A.
100000 900, exclusive of the customs. Two
months ago he estimated them at $123,000,000.
The actual receipts for the year 1874 from these
sources were $l26,31t,922, not counting the Ala
bama indemnify. This year they appear 10 be
running ahead Of last year, and next year they
should improve still further, else it is q sign
that there is something rotten in the Internal
Revenue department. The use of tobacco and
strong drink will increase with the population.
Not only does the Treasury receive money to
pay its expenditures from the Internal Rev.
enue, but from sales of public lands, taxes on
the circulation and deposits of National banks,
repayments of interest by the Pacific railroads,
fees of various kinds, profits on coin sales and
a number of other sources, and the total of
these resources reaches the amount above
stated. InSledu Oh auuinR SIU),OJU,UVO Jo S@>,-
100000, rs is done by Mr. Bristow, we must
add sl2s,OOO,OOO to 900 to obtain the
"total amount of resources" applicable to gen.
eral expenses after calling in and paying off
s3O,OOO,OOO in bonds for the Sinking Fund.
The true total of resources, after the interest
and Sinking Fund are provided for, will not DO
penny less than Sl7O,OOO,OOO, and that ought
to be more than sufficient for all purposes.
III. If our correspondent has not entirely

The President differs with the Congressional
Committee on Arkansas affairs. He believes
Brooks was elected Governor in 1872 and is or
ought to be Governor now, and if Congress
will Just say the word he is ready to make
him so. He also differs with tho ablest
lawyers in the country on the legality Of the
adoption of the new Constitution of Arkansas,
and talks vaguely of intimidation and revOlu-
ton in referring to the most peaceable cleo
ton that ever took place in that State. In
fact, this new message of the President will
fully meet the views and expectations of
Senator Clayton and Chief-Justice Mcclure,

any one else who has given the subject mo-
ment's thought.

Whatever may be the later effects of the
passage of the Civil Rights bill by the House
of Representatives, its first fruits must be
rather surprising and far from encouraging to
the Republican leaders who have assumed the
parentago of the bill in its present form.
In the North Carolina Legislature yes
terday two Of the most prominent
Republican members of that body publicly
announced their secession from the party with
which they have heretofore affiliated, and
assigned as the cause the support given by
Republicans in the House of Representatives.
to the Civil Rights bill. One of these gentle
men introduced resolutions denunciatory of
the bill and inviting white Republicans
generally in North Carolina to follow
their example. The men in Congress who
have supported the Civil Rights bill, not as a
matter of principle but as a party measure,
will doubtless discover their mistake before
many months shall pass.
