have that property swept out of their

there was need that the North should
be ncrvcd to great cXcrtion in order
to countcract the arrogant assertions
OF plantation supremacy, was not
wanting in courage to speak. Now,

GOVERNMENT FINANCEs.-4A Wash
ington dispatch, dated June 2G, SAYS:
There arc five days left of the current
fiscal year, and your correspondent
has carefully investigated the condition
Of the government finances for the
year, estimating for five days to come.
The estimate will be found almost
exact, probably within 100000 either
way. The years transactions will be
as follows: Receipts, $500, 500 900 I;
expenditures, $256, 100000 surplus,
$S,0O0,OO0, which is applicable to the
sinking fund, which this year is about
$37 900, 900. This would slow an
apparent deficiency of about S29, ,O00,-
600, but as the sinking fund is over
paid nearly $780, 100000, tho treasury
people give themselves no uneasincss
on that account. Tho estimates of
Secretary. Sherman were: Receipts,

lost S800,000 by the reduction of the
tobacco Tux; and among the cxtraordi-

other expenditures of an unusual ma
ture, nearly half a million. Consider

done remarkably we'll.
