penditures Of the Governments Nothing
whatever. There have been several elections,
but no panic or crisis has occurred outside OIL
politics. The revenues from internal taxes ana
duties on imports have been as great Tor the
first six months Of the current year as they
were in the same months of last year. IL the
tariff is let alone the revenues will in all
probability fall very little short of last years
figures. equality with which Mr.. Dawes made
the basis of his sanguine predictions.
We should be the last TO object to an in
crease of taxes if increased taxation is neces-
sary, but we insist on having the necessity
demonstrated. Messrs Dawes and Garfield
owe it TO the country and to their own repu-
tations to reconcile their statements OF seven
months ago with the present alleged necessi-
ties of the Treasury. We have seen nothing
in the statements of receipts and expenditures
and exhibits of the Public Debt to indicate
that the Treasury Is in such desperate straits
The following is o summary OF the Treasur-
er's payments for six months in 1873 and 1874
for all expenditures except interest on the
Public Debt:

TOM.

Tom slung his satchel over his shoulder
and set of to school, after his ten days
holiday, just as unwillingly as when,
two hundred years ago, the melancholy Jaques
made him immortal. His morning face does
not shine nowadays, however; there are black
dabs OF burnt cork upon it. after the minstrel
performances which he and the other fellows
had last night. They tone with n fine fitness
with the limp shirt-colar and unlaccd muddy
shoes. The American school-boy does not
whine either; he shows his inexorabe preju-
dice against learning and authority by bang
ing his slate to bits against the hall walls.
dasling his Cesar at the pet poodle he beats
q tantara at his brother Percys door (aslecp
after last nights opera and supper at Del
mOnico's), tumbles over Tot on the stairs,
gives her bearish hug and goes out, slam
ming the door, and down the street, not
creeping by any means, but shouting out
"The fox jumped over the parsons gate,n or
other "chaste arin," stopping to talk to the
policeman, with whom he is on friendly terms.
to follow fire engine down the next street
or to swarm with a hundred of his congeners
about dog fight or a procession. The house
falls into blissfu lapse of silence az soon az

beds with sigh OF relief; the servants 60
about repairing damages with many unspoken
oaths; Tom is no favorite with them; they
can see no use for him but to "eat like u
glutton, and to order about his bettersn
The trouble il that nobody can find the use
for Tom; he is crude, noisy, malapropos in
the house, or TIE woods, or the street the one
limb of the social body, awkward and i'll set
the uncouth molecule for which even Tyndall
could find no work in nature. Out of doors
Tom is rs sure a harbinger of row or fight
as n cough is OF consumption; in doors he
stamps out carpets. breaks china, leaves the
print of his paws on the walls. The land be-
fore him may be an Eden of bric-a-brac, but
behind him will be bowling wilderness.

If the above official statements OF the Gov
ernment's expenditures are honest and straight
forward there has been decrease OF e1-
penses, as compared with the same months OF
last year. of nearly ten and half million
dollars. 1t looks suspicious, however that all
this decrease occurs in the last two months,
while since the beginning OF the current
month the currency balance in the Treasury
has decreased over three million dollars, IN
spite of large receipts from the internal rev.
enue. But if the receipts are equal to those
of last year, and the expenditures ten millions
less for half the year, how is deficiency OF
s45 100000 figured QUIT The deficiency last
wear was but S25,OOOOOO. If the expenses this
year are $l5,OO0,OO0 less and the receipts the
same as last year, the deficiency can only DC
StO0OO,0OC. Giving the utmost latitude to the
silver resumption experiment, not more than
$1,000 900 ought to be invested in the specu-
lation between this and the 30th Of june
when the fiscal year ends. a great deal more
light is needed on this subject before the
merchants of this city should be asked to
submit to such a sweeping change IN the
tariff as that proposed by the President.

The report of the Board of Indian Com
missonels has been made public. Its chief
recommendation, the establishment Of terri
torial form of government in the Indian coun-
try, has already been commented on in The
TRIBUNE, and the objections to it have been
fully stated. We publish to-day, together
with the Commissioners recommendation, an
earnest protest against il by the Indians them
selves. 1t is very clear that the tribes will
not consent to the change, and it is equally
clear that if Congress forces ii upon them 1t
will simply vote i'll favor of a raid upon the
United States Treasury. For the establish
ment of n territorial government gives the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company rich
grant of land through the Indian Territory,
and as the Indians have an undsputed claim
to the same land, the Government will have
to pay one or the other of the claimants its
full value. Congress has enough to carry now
without shouldering such a burden as it
would find the granting of this rceommen-
dation To ne

The TRIBUNE, by the head of the late Wash

They are not unlike the frivolous proceedings
begun by one Camp on the occasion of Mr..
Reds last visit to the capital, and it is not
probable that they will ultimately amount 10
any more. Bail was promptly offered in any
amount by prominent citizens of both parties,

Vice President Wilson acknowledges that
the Republican party is in very bad way,
but hopes and believes that it's days are not
yet ended In his letter to the editor OF Ihe
Springfield Republican, printed on our first
page to-day, he reads his party severe, lee
ture for its mistake but takes occasion to
prefer the olive branch to the conscientious
and patriotic men who helped to give it the
proud position it once occupied, but who are
now found in the opposition. The overture is
made in kindness, and will doubtless be re-
ceived in kindness, but it would be much
more likely to effect the desired reunion were
it not accompanied by the admission that the
party still has the deficiencies which caused
and have kept up the separation. The Vice
President makes stirring protest against the
management of the patty by Office holders for
the purposes of ofice-holders; but We fear
this too will be Ineffective; the men who
ought to take the hint are prOtest-hardened'

The first legislation OF Importance planned
by the Ways and Means Committee OF tne
Assembly is in accordance with Gov. Iidens
suggestion for o revision of the laws provia-
ing civil remedies for malversation by puoiic
officers. The effect of its passage would DO
to enable the State to recover from dishonest
officials the money stolen by them from its
treasury. Such a law is badly needed, and
the fact that the present bill was drawn by
Charles OConor, and has the approval OF
GOV. Tilden, is o strong point in its favor.

Mr.. Sampson, until recently financial editor
of The London Times, has been convicted OF a
libel on Mr.. Rubery, and sentenced to pay
substantial damages. Leaving out of account
the character of the scheme which Mr.. Samp-
son denounced, there is another question OF
greater Importance involved. The evidence on
the trial, so far as we have it by mail from
London, is strongly presumptivo of on abuse
of his position to promote his private interests.
Subsequent testimony may tend to modify
this impression, but the best that can be said
| in his favor is that his course, if it showed no
durability in this respect, was inconsiderate
to degree which rendered excusable any want
of confidence in his good faith.

The reference made by Gov. Osborn TO the
famine caused by the ravages of the grass
hopper in Kansas indicates that adequate
provision has not yet been made Tor
the relief of the destitute. There is reason to
believe that the sufferers in Nebraska are
equally in need of assistance. 1t is to be
hoped therefore that there will be liberal
increase in the amount of subscriptions to the
Kansas and Nebraska relief fund. The IRiB-
UNE is still receiving such contributions
If the struggle of candidates for the seat Of
Charles Sumner in the United States Senate
should open the way for the election OF q
man who is not candidate, but commands
the confidence of both parties, Massachusetts,
and the whole country will have reason 10
rejoice. The Democrats have it in their
mower TO contribute to this result by uniting
with the independent Republicans. instead OF
throwing away their votes as they did when
Senator Washburn was elected.

TOWN LOTS.

1t will be seen that the days sale
aggregated something over $4,000,
making the. average per acre above
$43. Purchasers in every instance
seem to be we'll satisfied with their
bargains. 1t is reported that DR.. Il. S.
Stairway, who bought some choice
five-acre lots on Tuesday at prices
varying from $39 to $42 per acre, dis
posed of his purchase yesterday to
outside parties at $50 per acre. Mr.. J.
w. Potts was offered an advance of $5
an acre on all of his lands bid in at
the first days sale-some 160 acres
utrefused the proposition. The sale
will be closed to-day, and the prospect
is that there will be a larger crowd in
attendance than at either of the pre-
ceding sales. About 700 acres of the
finest farming land in the tract will
be offered and sold without reserve.
Free excursion tickets can be secured
by applying at the office of the COM
pany, No. II Spring street. A lunch
will be spread on the grounds suffi-
cient for all. Intending excursionists
should be at the depot promptly at
$3.50 A. NJ, as the train starts invaria-
bly, on time.
