SEcRET4eY SHERMAA'S REPORT.

Secretary Sherman, in bis first annual report
has to deal with most difficult questions
Every reader will cOncede that he does himself
much credit, not less 10y the very clear and
business-likc treatment of points not especially
controvcrted, than by his most forcible de-
fence of a sound and honest policy in regard
to the public debt, tho currency, and the qucs-
ton OF resumption. His statement of re-
ceipts and expenditures need not be here
epitomized. 1t shows that there was n con-
siderable decrease in revenue from customs
during the fiscal year 1877, which was by no
means compensated by "a slight increase in in
ternal revenue; that the receipts for the com
ing fiscal year will probably be about $269.-
$50, OO0 and that the estimates from the de-
partments amount to $3.50, 6SS, 796; and it
boldly recommends that these estimates be cut
down at least $l1 900. 900, declaring that this
reduction can be made without Cripplng any
branch of the public service"
TIE explanation of the funding operation is
full and clear and it puts in strong light the
great saving which can be effected 10y Iigid
fidelity to public obligations, aud the loss
which must result from "any measure that
creates distrust or Doubt thus arresting this
process, and compelling the United States 10
continue payment at the high rate of @ per cent.
The Secretary formally that, even as

capturing Jammu, the principal stronghold.
Despite the success of the expedition, The de-
sire is expressed in India ana Great Britain
that the troops will soon be Withdrawn. While
Europe is so disturbed Great Britain desires
TO have no wars, great or little, on her hands

Should the Servians come, as they intend,
TO the aid of Russia next week, the prospects
of the Turks will be exceedingly gloomy. In
stead of sending an army to the relief of
Osman Pasha, the Porte will then have to re-
tain all the troops it can spare at Sophia
Under these circumstances, KOssuth's appeal to
his countTymen in behalf of the Turks Is IKE
ly to fall on needless cara.

Several of the Presidents most important
nominations fall for want of action by the
Senate The nominations of MessIs. koose-
welt, Prince and Merritt are among Them
all having been retained in the COM
mittee; Mr.. billiard fails to be confirmed,
while Mr.. Sanford, after being rejected 10y
the committee, is spared the modification OF
rejection by the Senate. But the last named is
probably the only one of these important
nominations which the President Will not
renew.
