IT has been suggested that Increased
taxation might be avoided at this time,
If the Secretaryof the Treasury would
let the sinking fund - for the time
being, and use in ordinary expendi-
lures the custom receipts now being
sunk in that fund. The matter was
mooted in a conference Of the Ways
and Means Committee with Sec
rotary Bristow, when the lat
ter called attention to the
law Of 1862, as forbidding such
action. This law sets aside all gold
receipts, first, for the payment q In
terest, and secondly, for the sinking
fund, after which any surplus may g
for current expenses. Bris50w ac-
knowledged that the law had not al
ways been obeyed strictly, bat 1t was
his purpose TO comply with what be
found on the statute book, without re-
fleeing on his predecessors. 1t does not
seem to have occurred to the committee
that the f~orbidding clause could be re-
pealed as readily as it vas enacted
The reason Is, that it constitutes an
important item in the pledge given by
the United States VIXEN 1t issued the
fye-twenty bonds. Once repealed, that
sinking fund would doubtless go the
way Of al others we ever heard Of.

A BERLIN correspondent tells how
a German naval expedition against the
Spanish Carlists was suddenly aban-
doDed. The c-orvettes and five gun
boats, mounting forty six guns with
l,072 men, were IN full readiness to
sail. The plea for this armed inter-
vention, which would rebound to Al
fonso's benefit, was the firing on the
German vessel Gustav, and we had
mufled rumors Of the matterby cable at
the time. Bismarck, however, dropped
this project when the Madrid officials
informed him that hundreds Of Ger
mans had been captured by the Car
lists, whom they threatened to shoot as
soon as the first gun was fired on their
coast villages from a German war YES

For the year ending June 30, 1872,
the expenditures Of the United States
Government exclusive Of interest on
the public debt, we're SI53, 20I,S For
the following fiscal year, ending June
80, 1873, they leaped up to Sl80,4SS, So.
Whether this sudden increase of over
So, 100000 was caused by campaign
expenses in the way Of i~ndirection, is
not yet susceptible Of proof, but those
of the succeeding fiscal year, closing
last June, showed a decrease of less
than two millions. From the figures
Of 1872 and previous years, it IS plain
enough the Government could save
thirty million dollars Of expenses with
out any distressing amount Of retrencb-
msnt, and the imposition Of fresh taxes
at this juncture IS an outrage on apeo-
pie whose industrial interests are de-
pressed all the way from New England
and Pennsylvania to the extreme South
and West.

As indicating the attitude Of the
Senate on Civil Rights and mixed
schools, the vote Of Thursday granting
a site for the Peabody School at St.
Augustine, Fla. is rather SIGNIFICANT.
An amendment that Improperly should
revert to the United States, if the
school made any distraction on account
Of color, was voted down, yeas %, nays
p. This goes to prove that the Senate
is not so bent on mixed schools, as it
was a short while back. We take it
that mixed schools have been abandoned
IN caucus, because the attempt to force
them would leave no schools for the
negroes. The incident shows that the
House bill on Civil Rights is Radical
enough Cor the Senate.

THE Cincinnati Gazette comes up to.
the scratch as an Administration or
gan, though it required two days to
screw its courage to the sticking place.
Hear 1t:
The present Constitution and Gov
eminent Of Arkansas were set up by a
proceeding of which every step was in
violation Of law. 1t was a revolutionary
concern, which has no more right to
exist than the White Leaguerevolution
which seized the government of LOuisi-
ana last September. Papers are in
error which say the President has hIth-
ertO recognized it. He has never re-
cosnized 1t. To permit it to stand is to
recognize the right Of a party in any
State to override all constitutional
forms to seize power.
And contrast with this its Washing
ton special IN another column:
There is a wide difference Of opinion
among Republicans IN regard to the
Presidents message on Arkansas, and
there seems very much less chance for
any action being taken IN the Senate
in this matter than in the case Of Kel-
logg in louisiana. The friends Of
Gov. Brooks here represent the Presi-
dent as very clear and very positive in
his views. They represent him as say

TwDyFNG RACE.

A correspondent Of the Neg York
Sun, writing from Charleston, S. O.,
gives a gloomy account Of how the
negro race is dying out. The town ne
groes are far superior to those Of the
plantations, more closely initiating the
superior race in habits and mode Of
living, besides enjoying the benefits Of
public and private charities. Yet in
Charleston, where the races are nearly
equal in numerical strength, three
blacks d e to n white. This becomes
the more remarkable when we remem-
Der that the negro is not SO liable as
his pale neighbor to yellow fever in the
summer, nor TO pulmonary complaints
in the winter. There is room also for
suspicion that many blacks, especially
children, are buried By stealth, for the
sake Of avoiding the costly parade of
their funerals, and these, Of course, do
not appear IN the official reports. An
other startling feature is the fearful
proportion Of stil-births among them,
an eminent physician estimating the
proportion Of such as compared with
the whites at fourteen 70 one!
This correspondent thinks the condi-
ton Of those in the country is even
worse. There they have no public ply
sicians nor dispensaries, as in the town.
African doctors, with fetish incanta-
tions and decoctions Of wild swamp
roots, are their only reliance. The
younger people, grown up since the
war, seem 10 have little cotton of the
married life. It might be said that
universal d~ebauchcry prevails. Before
the war. when the dinner horn sound
ed, half the women would have infants
to suekle; now one in about forty or
fifty is found at such occupation. Of
Gce-holding darkes who can afford it
viii have three or more wives, none Of
whom may be a mother. That the ne.
gro cannot take care of himself is be-
ing rapidly demonstrated in the State
where he holds absolute power.

EACH step Grant has made since the
November elections, shows him more
desperate and more determined. He
does not seek to harmonic or rally his
own party, and seems fully resolved to
lead, whether they follow or not. 1t
begins to look as though we might soon
have a military aUtocracy, unsupported
by any party among the people, and
independent Of them. In this cOndi-
ton of affairs 1t is not surprising to
read in Washington correspondence
that, if Civil Rights and Ku. Klux
bills, and all such devices fail,
the trump card of the Ad-
ministration viii be a war
with Spain. The plot is said to be to
keep quiet in the matter till after Con-
gress adjourns, then provoke Spain
into some hostile act, and plunge the
country into a war, under cover of the
excitement OF which attention can be
diverted from home affairs. The Dem
ocratic leaders IN Congress see thisand
viii try to attach a provision to the
army appropriation bill that no hostile
act shall be done toward any foreign
power, and no money spent in hostile
operations, without a previous declara-
ton Of war by Congress. The Demo-
cratic strength in that body is not
strong enough to carry this, unless
public sentiment speaks loudly and
strongly IN its support and forces the
moderate Republicans into voting
for it.
