REPORT OF SECRETARY NOR
RILL.

The report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, contains the usual statements
in regard to the financial condition of
the Government and numerous sugges-
tons of interest. The report states that
the revenues of the Government for the
fiscal year ending June so, 1876. were
S2S7. 4S2.OS9.l6. and the expenditures
s25s, 459.797.SS. From the receipts
aud expenditures of the first quarter of
the present fiscal year. the Secretary es-
Inmates that the former will amount to
S264, 292, 1889 and the latter to $751;
62S,753.35. The Secretary estimates
that the receipts Of the Treasury for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1873. will
be s27O,OO5. 900 and the expenditures
s24S. 35O,7O4. of this amount s9i,-
$50, 29O is required to pay the interest
on the public debt. The public debt
was reduced to the amount of s29, 24S,-
Ssl.37 during the last fiscal year. The
reduction of the public debt from Aug.
81. 1855. when it was at its highest 6g-
ure. to June 80. 1876, was s656,952.

aud s35. 674.55O of the - per cent.

He discusses the question of resump-
ton Of specie payments at length. He
/ expresses the opinion that the troubles
likely TO result from resumption Janua-

also makes the suggestion that the pres
ent time Is regarded as OppOrtune for
the gradual withdrawal of legal tender
notes.
