Report of the United States Treasurer.

From the annual report of United States
Treasurer Gillian it appears that the receipts
of the Government compare very favorably
with those of the previous fiscal year, and show
an increase from the customs, internal revenue
and sales of public lands of $50 81, sos, and
decrease in those from miscellaneous sources
of only 9l12,079. The expenditures. show
slight increase of 1896, 074 in the aggregate as
compared with the previous fiscal year, caused
by an increase of $22,3}5O4O in payments on
account of the Interior Department, but show
a decrease of S21.699, 1865 in expenditures for
interest and premium on the public debt, on
civil and N scellaneous accounts, and for the
War and Navy Departments.
The balance of public money on deposit in
the treasury, and subject to draft at the close
of business June 80, 1879, was SAT-, 223, 1877.
The receipts during the wear from all sources
amounted to $49i, SIS, 241. and drafts paid
Sos, 10000. After deducting receipts prop,
erly refunded and outstanding drafts, there
was subject to draft at the close of business
June so 1880, 500, 683, s36, which differs from
the debt-statemen5 balance by S3,595.2l3,
which Is explained in the appendix. The bust
ness of the Government involved the transfer
during the year of 81. 053, 357. O32 the greater
portion through the MEDIUM of accounts of
this Office, and the remainder by the actual
transportation of funds.
Fifty-eight national banks were organized
during the year: five failed and twenty-one
went into voluntary liquidation, leaving 2, l02
doing business.
The amount collected from national banks
by the Treasurer of the United States for semi
annual duty accruing during the year was
1851. TO- The total amount collected during
the existence of the national-bank system is
S101, 361. 369
The report embodies statement of the la
bilities and assets OF the treasury for the years
1877, 1878, 1879 and 1880. from which it ap-
pears that the gold and silver coin ami bullion
ranged from S114, 49,, 9S2 in 1877 to S163, $685.
444 in 1873, to S222, S07, 1868 IN 1879. and to
S214, 303, 215 in 1880. The decrease of s.. $780,
COO between 1879 and 1880 is represented by
the reduction IN the gold balance Of $34 000, 900,
and an increase in the silver coin and bullion
on hand. Tbs influences tending to the de-
crease of the gold balance have been primarily
the scarcity of notes. compelling payments of
daily balance to the New York Clearing House
in gold coin. There has been but small
amount of United States notes and gold certif-
Gates presented for redemption In gold coin.

1t is announced from Washington that the
State Department has received enough of the
Chinese treaty by telegraph to indicate the ma
ture Of the treaty. The text of the treaty it.
self cannot reach this city under four or FIVE
weeks. The text of it then will be transmitted
by the State Department under the seal Of 20
crecy to the Senate for ratification. It Is I'M
derstood that this document does not change
the status of American citizens in China, NOT
does it enter into the commercial features COW
cred by the Reed treaty of 1853. 1t is in ac-
cordance with Secretary Evart5' policy of re-
straining further immigration of Chinese 10
this country, while at the tame time not going
to the extreme Of sending those back who are
are2 dy here.
No master of any vessel owned in whole or to
part by citizen Of the United States, OF by any
foreign country, shall take on board from any
port I'm the Chm sc empire or other foreign
ports any number Of Chinese passengers. male
or female, IN excess of the number Of fifteen,
10 bring them within the jurisdiction Of the
United States. ANY master of a vessel who Vi
olates his clause of treaty shall be considered
guilty of misdemeanor.
No Consul or Consular Agent OF the United
States can grant certificate 10 any vessel leaV-
ing China for this country if she has Oh
board more than fifteen Chinese passengers.
The limitations do not apply to persons Off
cisuy connec cd with the Chinese Government,
or to persons rescued from shipwreck.
The master of any weasel arriving in the
United States shall be required to furnish a
separate list of all Chinese passengers on board
his vessel.

and sacrificed the life of Uriah for the beauty
of his wife. The beautiful Cleopatra came to
her death in the morn OF her life by her own
hand, caused by its means. So the proud and
naughty Jezebel. daughter of the King, was
thrown out Of window and eaten by the dogs

So we see that neither riches, pride or wis

1t Is fact that none are perfect that all hui

true it is that people are ever on the watch for
the "mo;e in their brothers eye" while they
are all unaware of the immense beam in their
own, and, while they let it remain with perfect
satisfaction, they are TERRIBLY worried about
their brothers condition.

Mr. Burcbard, Superintendent of the Mint,
says Washington telegram, is very enthusi-
astic over the success OF the silver dollar with
the people. He thinks that we can go on with
the coinage at tbs present rate without dis
turbing the money market or the relations be-
tween the two precious metals, for fifteen
years, or till we have as many dollars in cTcu-
lation, or in the treasury, az France has s.
franc pieces, which il about 500, O0U 900. He
thinks that 1t would be possible 10 run the BUSH
ness of the Government without trouble with
gold balance III the treasury as low as S25, CO.,,
0O0 Ali that is needed, III his opinion, h b
have enough 80 that the Government can con
tnue to pay out either god or silver in iiscrini-
nately when called for, and as hong as this can
be done then silver will not depreciate Ex-
perience has shown during the last few months
that the people are really more 10th to take gold
for ordinary purposes than silver. 1hls Mr..
Burchard explains by the fact that for small
amounts In the way Of change merely, silver
dollars are found to be more convenient, and
for larger sums the bills arc preferable, SO that
for actual circulation gold hnds no place,
Should any attempt be made by Congress 10 IN
teriere with the coinage Of the silver dollar,
MIR. Burchard will oppose it strenuously He
elbows that only about S25, OOO, 900 of the silver
in the treasury is there as part Of the reserve,
the rest being in circulation in the form Of
silver certificates, the coin being merely held
as deposit, according to law, for the redeInp-
ton of this paper whenever called for. the
silver dollar il rapidly increasing in favor IN
the West, being called for with greater free
dom the better it is known. 1t Is sent to ap-
plicants TO the nearest buD-treagury free of en-

remarkable Growth OF the West b
Political Power.


An examination of the number of Rep
resentatives In Congress given to each
State by the several appointments,
says the New York Times, shows the
relative Congressional strength In the
New England, Middle, Southern and
Western States in each of eight consec-
utiye decades. From the several appor-
tionments may be constructed a table
which exhibits the gradually decreasing
relative importance OF New England and
the Middle States, whose area has not
been capable Of expansion; the manner
In which the Southern States have nearly
held their own by the admission of
Southern Territories, and also the re-
markable growth Of the West In the
following table each sections percent
age of the whole number of Represent
atives under the several apportionments
is given, the decimal parts having been
eliminated for the sake of brevity. The
New England and Middle sections rep
resent areas which have not been en-
larged from the beginning, while the
Southern and Western sections have
been continually growing in size by the
addition of new States. The percent
ages which appear in the first line are
those which were allowed before the
census of 1870, upon ratio Of l to 80.
