METROPOLITAN PAPERS.

A writer in Harper's Monthly, for Decem-
Der, in paper on the Metropolitan News
paper, describes pretty accurately the man.
ner in which daily papers are conducted in
New York and other large cities, but the
Cincinnati Gazette thinks his enthusiasm car
ries him away a little in one or two points,
and refers to the following as sample:
In describing the way in which meetings
are reported, he ssys: 'Many of the speech
es are 10 be published in full, and altogether
the proceedings will NIL from twenty-five to
thirty columns of the next days paper;;- that
is, four or five quarto pages. We have an ac-
qusintance with the New York journals dat
ing back "A score Of years, and can recall hard
ly an instance in which such an amount of
space was so occupied. Any approximation
to such fullness is very exceptional, and as a
matter of fact the papers of New York less fire.
quently report speeches and sermons in full
than those OF interior towns.

Our telegraphic columns this morning
contain the information that the army bill
substantially as amended by the Senate
has passed both Houses of Congress, and
goes now TO the President for
his signature, and will therefore be-
come law at once. This
people are, probably, more Immediately in
terested in this measure, than any other
community, for our bankers and merchants,
together, have advanced between a-half and
three-quartors of a million dollars on the
pay certificates OF officers and men at Fort
Leavenworth. The bill, as passed, provides
for recruiting the army up to twenty
five thousand men

A Flaticring Compliment Ia the Mem
ber from the first District.
ID..I..if

The highest tribute that could possibly
been paid to Hon. W. A. Phillips, member
from this, the first Kansas district, by max
ing him the champion defender OF the bill
repeating the resumption act. Party spirit
seems to have been laid aside in this mat
ter and the ablest man in the House chosen
to bring up the bill and make the opening
speech, and W. A. Phillips being the man,
made the first speech in favor OF the repeal
OF an act always odious to the people OF the
West. As a Kansan, and citizen of the
First Congressional District, We feel proud
of Hon. W. A. Phillips, the most indefa-
tigable worker, and the best Representative
in the National House of Representatives.

EDITOR TINES Forty hours ride
from your city has brought me to this
and what difference l find in everything :.
in the people, their manners and customs;
in the general appearance and character Of
the company; in the products Of the soil,
&c, &c, &c. And the inquiry naturally
arises in my mind, where such numerous
and wide differences exist, can We reasona-
bly, hope for that good fellowship and uni
ty which should exist among people Of the
same nation, speaking the same tongue and
governed by the same laws? And after the
terrible and unfortunate civil war through
which We have passed, the sad results Of
which are still visible and keenly felt
throughout the entire South, can we reason
ably hope for early and complete reconcile
alton? These questions your correspon-
dent is unable to answer, and while many
predictions are made and ''views" express
ed, doubt much whether any one can an
swer them at this time. But will under
take to make some remarks upon the
changes that have occurred since my last
visit here, about two years ago.
Then, not only here, bu, all through the
South, so strong was the prejudice against
the Republicans, and 50 determined were
the Southern people upon breaking up their
organisations, that there was little, If any,
security for their lives and property, and
such thing as their affiliating
with the Southern people was entirely out
of the question. The men and women Of
the South arrayed themselves and fought
with undinching determination against fed
eral or military interference against car
pet baggers, scallawags and negro domina-
ton, and though it has taken twelve years
they have never faltered never relaxed,
and At length it would seem victory has
perched upon their banner, and now the
Southern people are mastenof the situation
and, 1t present. are solidly Demozatic.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., November 19.-The
Treasurer of the United States, in his annu-
al report of the operations of the treasury
during the last fiscal year, makes the fol-
lowing exhibit regarding receipts and ex
penditures: As compared with the fiscal
year which ended ON June 80, 1876, and
that ending on June 80, 1877, it shows a de-
crease in the net revenues amounting to
SIS, Isl ,452, and decrease in the net expen-
ditures of S19,799,7SS. Net revenues for
the fiscal year, S269, 600 $50 net expendi-
lures, S23S, $50, ,OOS, making an increase Of
funds amounting to $50, O,340,5U.
1T Is OBSERVABLE
that, while the revenue from customs, lands
and miscellaneous sources has decreased,
year after year, since 1873, the revenue
derived from the internal revenue so-called,
has increased the receipts from that source,
in 1874, having been SlO2, ,4O9, ,1s4, and in
the fiscal year of 1877, Slls $50, ,i07.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT
of unavailable money carried in the bal
lances of accounts in the treasurer's officers
was as follows: June Both, 1876, S2y,
S99, go; June 30th, 1877, S29 ,620, ,SS3. The
theory of the public accounts Is, that the
Treasurer of the United States shall be
charged upon a warrant Of the Secreta.y
with all the moneys received in the treas
ury, and for which, when ever received, he
is held accountable until the same are
PROPERLY Discussed
under an appropriation made pursuant to
law. IL has, however, occurred that since
1886, the sum OF s29, 81, ,S33 over and above
the amount of public money which has
been properly accounted for, has, by reason
OF the deposit OF surplus revenue with twen-
ty-six states Of the Union and by deficit or
by default, and by theft in various places
and by the failure ofdepository banks, gave
from the custody of the Treasury, which
sums he cannot from the nature OF the
case.

EDITOR TINES. The past week the House
has been ranging over the maximum and
minimum strength of the army-whether it

the soldiery as the conservator and prop of
kings and despots, and especially of the
modern

of the Southern states. In view Of all the
teachings of history, past and present, the
Democrats thought it expedient to cut our

thousand mecernaries to private life. This
