A BIG CASH ACCOUNT.
Receipts and Expenditures Per Capita OF
Population from 1860 to 1880.

Washington Cor. Chicago Tr1bune.J
The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics
has recently been engaged in tabulating the
amount of estimated and actual revenue and
expenditure Of the Government for each
fiscal year from 1860 to 1878, inclusive. The
estimates of the receipts by the different
Secretaries of the Treasury varied from some
100000 less than the actual receipts in
1860 to S162, 032 $50 more than the estimates
in 1866. For the last eight years the Secre-
taries of the Treasury have annually over
estimated the receipts of the Government.
On the other hand, since 1865, the Govern
ment has had each year large excess Of
revenue over payments. The smallest
amount received per capita of population
within the period named, 1860 to 1873, was
S1.29, in 1861. The largest amount received
per capita of population for the same period
was S15.73, in 1866. The following tables
represent the actual receipts and disburse-
ments of the Treasury, in gross and per cap
tia, from 1850 to 1878, exclusive of the
amounts received upon loans, and payments
ON account of the principal and interest on
the public debt:

There being no choice for Governor by the
people Ga majority vote being required to
| elect, Dr. GarcelOn, the Democratic candi-
date, was elected by the Legislature, the
Democrats and Greenbackers combining.
The returns of the late election, received
up to midnight of the Sth, indicated that
there had been no election by the popular
vote, neither candidate apparently having
received a majority Of the votes cast. The
returns show Republican gains in most To-
calities. Two hundred and nine towns give
Davis (Rep.), As, 795; GarcelOn Dem.),
14,129; Smith (Gr), 29,621; scattering, 553.
The same towns last year gave COnnOr 3S,-
667; Garcelon, 1889; Smith, 3, loss; scatter
ing, "a. Republican majority in these towns,
1929, against 4,134 opposition majority last
year. Towns to be heard from gave last
year; Republicans, 1857; GarcelOn, 1850
Smith, 1888. If they come in
like others, the total vote will stand: Re-
publican, 6s,5O0; Democrat, p 900; Green
back, $4,000; and Davis will lack $500 of cleo
ton. The Republicans will certainly have a
majority of the House and, it is claimed by
them, a majority of the Senate also, which
will give them the selection of the State
officers.
Later returns leave no doubt that the Re-
publicans have majority in the Legislature
over the combined opposition, thus assuring
the election of their candidate for Governor.
