YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, MONDAY, NOVEMBER la, 1877.

Of specie during nine months, ending Septem-
Der 30, was $24,8S9,380, but the excess OF
imports over exports during the months OF
November and December, last year. was
$12,9SG,9OG, leaving net exports OF only
S11. .9O2 .17l for eleven months. During Oc-
tober we know the imports and exports
Mt this port; the exports amounted to T9ol,-
29G. and the imports to 1897, ,41O. Hence,
exclusive Of receipts and shipments nj other
ports during October the net exports OF specie
for the last twelve months have been ohly
$11, $3.50. If the production of the precious
metals during that period was about $S4, ,GOO,-
600, the amounts used by the Treasury, exported
and added to the reserves of banks in the three
chief cities account for the entire product,
without allowance for use III the arts; but II Is
asserted by San Francisco journals that the
usual reports of the yield are greatly eXagger-
ated. In any case, nearly the whole OF the
annual product has been employed by the
Treasury, without weakening the banks or
checking the fall in the premium on gold.
The outflow of leSa-tenders has now
amounted to over $20,000,000 since the mid
die of July, and from the Fall maximum
to the end Of the year it was only S25,OOO,-
600 in 1876. But the banks lost $4,000
600 after this date. A similar loss this
wear would reduce the reserve to S2S,5OO,OOO.
On the one hand the drain is likely to be
diminished by the increase of bank circulation;
on the other, it will be increased by the re-
tircment of lcgal-tenders, which will be larger
than il was last year. Some relief may be eX-
pected when Congress finishes It's absurd
wranpIe over the Army Bill, for the sum due
and awaiting appropriation was S9,5OO,OOO Oh
tbe 1st and probably now exceeds Slo'Ioo,-
coo. The currency balance on Saturday. eN-
elusive of special funds, was $1S, 172,43o, ana
il will doubtless increase rapidly until the
Army Bill has passed. If that occurs before
the end of the month, the Secretary may never
theless have on hand a balance large enough
to render immediate sales of gold unnec-
essary. 1t is probable that the issues OF
new circulation will be very large thus
month; about $2,5OO,000 was demanded
in October in excess of the amount issued.
and the deposit of bonds for circulation was
81 $40, 800 last week. There is no imme-
date prospect Of stringency, therefore, and
the contraction of loans last week was small
while deposits increased on specie account. The
clearings were about $40, ,600,0 900 larger than
those of the corresponding week last year,

THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT.

Whatever the result of the conference of
Republican Senators respecting the action to
he taken on the appointments, it is not to be
concealed that the relations of the President
10 his party in Congress are more unSatisfac
tory than ever they have at no time been
nerfectly cordial and they do not improve.
No matter where the blame may lie, the fact
is one to be deeply deplored. 1t is
the ambition of Mr.. Hayes to be President
not of faction, but of the whole country,
and we honor the nobility and patriotism of
his sentiment But ours is, nevertheless,
government of party, as all governments must
be in which authority is shared by coordinate
legislative and executive departments, and
discord between the two can result in nothing
but injury to the nation. Mr.. Hayes, himself,
must be the first to recognize the fact
that a harmonious administration IS neces-
sary to the prosperity of the cause which he
represents, and the accomplishment of the
particular measures which he has most at
heart. He does not imagine that he can rule
the United States alone. BE does not over
look the lesson which the Republicans of
another country have just taught their Pres
ident; and he is sincerely desirOus of
establishing friendly understanding with
the men whose aid is essential to him
in the prosecution of bis policy. On the
other hand, we have no doubt that large
majority of the Republicans in Congress are
anxious to find themselves in accord with the
President, and to act with him in all genuine
reforms; and If they oppose certain Cabinet
schemes, it is because, in all honesty, they be-
lieve them to be impracticable and mischieyOus
Where there is so much genuine honesty on
both sides, settlement of differences ought
to be easy. And the first requisite for this re-
suit seems to be a liberal use Of common
sense That is the one virtue which the Ad-
mnstratiOn of President Hayes has cOnspcu-
ously lacked, and nowhere has the want of it
! been more remarkably manifested than in
! the progress of the quarrel which is
! now agitating the Senate. Everybody, out
side of the Cabinet knew that the
/ crisis of Civil Service Reform would
( come when the President undertook to break
| down the control long exercised by the Senate
over the higher appointments. 1t was essen
tial to success that every step should be counted
| in advance nothing promised that could not
| be accomplished, nothing attempted which the
laws would not justify aud the sentiment of
the country sustain. But Mr.. Hayes seems to
have given this delicate business into the
hands Of set of blundering political
| iourneymen, and let them 30 on from one
! amazing mistake TO another issuing high
sounding declarations and then scandalously
violating their whole spirit, until Civil Service
Reform is In danger of becoming by-wOrd

TILE ELGHTLYG IN ARNENIA.

Revond the facts that the Russians are max
n final desperate effort to gain possession Oh
Frzerum before the Winter fairly sets III, ana
that the Turks are making equally desperate
efforts TO hold the capital, the recent move
ments IN Armenia are not very clear. Mukh-
tor Pasba's signal defeat at the battle of Deve
Bovm is an evidence that his force was too
reduced to hold a position so strong by ma
ture we cannot, therefore, assume that more
than $4,000 soldiers followed him within
the walls of Erzerum. Immediately a1ter
tbe battle the Russian Army was rem
forced by the column from Ardahan, the
strength of which has not yet been reported,
but it is hardly possible that the army under
General Hcymann now numbers less thah
rs. 600 men. Flushed with victory, tins army
was hurled against the Turkish detences at
Azizie-apparently one of the outworks pro-
tecting Erzernm-early on Friday morning
last and was defeated, very much as the
army mt Plevna. OF course tins repuiSe de-
cides nothing If Erzerum is well-proyIsloned,
and additional troops can be thrown into the
place, Mukhtar Pasha may retard the hour OF
its capture-but he cannot prevent 1t.
AT the same time, we receive by way OF Con-
stantinople the report OF an engagement at
Baiburt. Inasmuch as the mere rumor OF
fighting at that point is favorable to the Rus
sian ulans. ii is likely to be true. Balburt Is
about half way between Erzerum and 1rcbl-
zopd. on the macadamzed highway which
unites the two cities, and between sixty and
seventy miles west by north of the former. IL
lies in the upper valley of the ChOruk Cor
Dioruk) River, which reaches the Black Sea
near Batum; hence the Russian force which
has reached Mt has already completely turned the
northern flank of the position at ErZerum. ms
force may be either a portion of the column
from Ardahan. which diverged from it
at or near Oti, or it may be sep
arate column, the march OF which
has not previously been reported. In either
case il indicates an intelligent rs well as
energetic plan of operations on the part OF the
Russians. The resumption of the bombardment
of Batum naturally belongs to such n Dlan
These Simultaneous signs of vigOr show pre-
ponderance of power, which cannot fail to
crush the weakening resistance OF the Turks.
The latter have no troops to spare for Arme-
MIA. so long as they cannot relieve Plcvna.
The news from COnstantinOple points to-
ward a court conspiracy rather than gem
cral popular disaffectiOn. A few more defeats
will undoubtedly stir up trouble; but after
six months of such gallant defence the people
are not yet discouraged What they now be-
GIN to feel is the material strain, not the
moral reaction. The latter will follow in good
ti,np
