GnKERNMEYr FLNANCES.

The Treasury has now been paying coin on
demand for five months. The debt statement
of June 1 shows that the stock of gold coin
and bullion has been slightly increased during
that time, although about $4,000 900, or
about &2,00OO00 each month, has been
diverted to swell the hoard of standard silver
dollars lying idle in the Treasury vaults. The
following comparison of the condition of the
Treasury on the 1st Of January aud on the LIST
of June will be interesting, and to those who
think of voting for the pending Silver BILL
should be instructive

B1D FIJTH IND B4D Law.

The Albany Ldw Journal sustains on strictly legal
grounds the position which THE TRIBUNE has al
ready assumed, on the broader grounds of public
policy, with respect to Governor RobInson's vetoes
of the appropriations to pay awards by the Board
of Audit. 1t will be remembered that certain
citizens whose contracts with the State for work
on public buildings were abrogated, claimed before
the State Board of Audit the natural and reason
able profits which they would have made II the
state had allowed them to fulfil their contracts,
that the decision of the Board, composed
under the law Of various State officers, was
in their favor, that the Legislature there
upon made appropriations to pay the awards,
which the Governor vetoed. We urged at the time
that leaving all technical questions of law out OF
considerations this was subst tantialy an act OF bad
faith. The Boardl of Audit was created In accord
ance with constitutional amendment which de-
prlved the Legislature of the power OF passing upon
claims against the State. For its own protection
against thieves and to check one fruitful Of
legislative corruption the State chose TO refer all
such claims to a small court of public officers,
usually men of good character, and always well
known and easily made responsible for their acts.
The Governors veto placed the State in the position
of refusing to abide by the decision Of tribunal Of
its own selection and own creation. This seems to
Us violation of the honor of our Government.
Inc AtDdHy LGC journal goes tufbner anu uecldTtb
tie Governors action to be also repugnant TO good
law 1t is shown that the statute which created the
Board authorized it to determine" on the justice
and amount of claims, and speaks of its conclusions
as decisions using the word several times IL IS
held that the intention of the State not merely
to supplant the Legislative committees on claims,
but 20 constitute "a court Of independent final and
conclusive authority" The Board does not make
reports but decisions; it hears aud determines
as in a reference at law The votes of majority
shall be necessary to, and shall constitute, de-
cision'-a foolshly superfluous provision. if the
Board were intended to act merely as a COMMITTEES.
Ii is not necessary to insist here upon the duty of
the State 10 be- quite rs honest as any one Of its
individual citizens; if that duty was not enjoined
by numerous decisions of courts it would still be
imperative.
But the only point with which the Governor mado
any impression upon the public mind was his objec-
ton to requiring the State TO pay expect profits.
is sufficient to say, in answer to this that our own
highest court has declared that the obligation of a
contract would not be impaired by the refusal Of
the State to perform IT !" and also that the United

January l..

But for the absurd coinage Of dollars which
tho people refuse to usc-a coinage which
tends to prevent return of European ma
tions to the use of silver, and which serves
no purpose except to enable some mine-Owners
to sell their bullion at q little better price
than they might otherwise get-the entire in
crease of specie in the Treasury would have
been in gold. But it is to be observed, never
theless, that the Treasury has not only been
subjected, since the resumption of specie pay
ments to no drain of gold, but has been
enabled to increase its stock of gold, while
wasting $2,000000 each month in trying to
help the spectators in silver.
/. The reduction OF $3.50, 900 in legal-tender
certificates outstanding shows that there was
n considerable deBand during the month for
the egal-tender notes. and this demand was
doubtless due to the extensive efforts to pur-
chase the refmding certificates, for the accu-
mutation of legal-tenders in the bank reserves
at the clncf cities would otherwise have nat
urally increased. Now that the sale of these
certificates has substantially ceased, the cur
rency will gradually flow back to the none
tary centres, or, through payments for called
bonds, be released by the Treasury. 1t ap-
"by designated depositaries" the Off
GERS and banks authorized TO sell the
certificates was $500, ia O6, besides
the constructive cash held by the National
banks engaged in the refmding operation,
which amounted To $216, 442 Al SO. A large
amount OF bonds Of various kinds must now
be on deposit by these banks, and it is evi-
dent that the Treasury has employed the
money received for refunding certificates IN
the payment of called bonds, instead of draw
ing ont like sum from the bank deposits.
Within about six weeks, this large account
will be settled and it is clearly for the inter
est both of the Treasury and of the banks
that the surrender Of five per cent bonds for
redemption should be accelerated as far IA
possible. To this end. perhaps the Secretary
may presently offer TO anticipate payment of
portion of the bonds for which calls mature

Mr. Garrison's death naturally gives rise to much
discussion of his character and career some OF 1t
iudIc0us and kindly. and come of it otherwise The
"SocialistsD of Boston have passed certain rather
extraordinary resolutions upon the occasion, in
which they openly declared the time to be at hand
IN which property in land and all natural resources
will be abolished; aud this consummatcn, we OBJ
serve is to be swiftly followed by the abolition of
the unjust and destructive privilege of using pri-
vate wealth as capital" 1t seems hardly decent to
utilize the death of man like Mr.. Garrison in such
n way; but it may be said without injustice TO his
memory that he set men an example of speaking
freely to the very verge Of paradox. We have never
heard, however, that he entertained any extraya-
CANT notions about private property, forwith all his
zeal he had great deal of the hardest
kind Of common sense. Moreover, his whole
life was devoted TO n yindication of the slaves
right to his own earnings, aud absolute estate in
them. Ii is paying but sorry compliment to his
memory thus to misuse the occasion of his death.
No doubt he left his own savings, whatever
they might be. to be divided among his heirs
according to law. A meeting of the Methodist
ministers of Boston and vicinity had hot debate
over certain resolutions affirming Mr. GarFsons
christian character" but they were finally
passed. The Boston pulpit generally last sun
day spoke in the same liberal way.
The opporunc rain will do much toward redeem
ing the hay-crop in this latitude from being the
total loss which was lately threatened. And yet
no growing weather IN June can altogether
fasify the dismal prophecies Of the farmers
who have learned by experience that n 4" wet May"
alone can fill their barns with grain and hay. The
fact is that in spite of much cheerful talk in the
papers the Spring crops hereabout are not promis-
ing. Winter grain is short i'll straw and
head, and the meadows far from
promising their usual burden. The grass will
thcken on the bottoms and spring up raukly let us
hope but the hay will be light and lashy, ant lack
the body and substance which an earlier growth
insures. And by the way did not that PoSltiyist
Predlcter" among his evil bodings. foretell par
