Secretary FOlger's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A.-The fol-
lowing is given concerning the forth
coming report of Secretary Folger.
The Secretary will estimate the sur
plus at the end of the fiscal year of
1884, at $4,000. 600. He relies
upon an important decrease in the
river and harbor bill, and in fact all
appropriations. He will hint at the
tendency to Congressional extrava-
gance and will intimate that this ex-
travsgance has been fostered by the
knowledge that there would be a
surplus of $l45 600, 900 exclusive of
the sinking fund at the end of the
last fiscal year. The Secretary will
urge the reduction OF taxation, on
the ground that large SURPRISES
tempt Congress to extravaganza.
TIE PUBLIC DEBT.
He will recommend that the debt
ought not to be paid Oft more rapid
ly than it comes due. He will re-
mind Congress that this can be done
simply by meeting the sinking fund.
He will oppose the abolition of in
ternal revenue tax, but will go fur
ther than he did last year respecting
the reduction of these taxes. He
will still urge that spirits and tobac-
CO be taxed, but will suggest that
the amount may be safely reduced.
He will also recommend that the
pending tax bill be passed. He
further recommends tariff reduction,
but will make no special recommend
alton of this subject except to call
attention to the work of the tariff
commission. He will confne him
self to recommending a careful and
thorough revision of the tariff, though
he will suggest the reduction of the
sugar tax and that on iron and steel
manufactures.
NATIONAL BANKS.
He will also call the attention of
Congress to the relation Of the ma
tional banks to the bonded debt of
the country, suggesting that the
rapid extinguishment of currency
may follow, because the banks will
refuse to take four and four and
halls at a premium, to replace three
and three end q half, preferring to
retire their circulation. The Secre-
tary will recommend, therefore, that
if revenues are not reduced, banks
will be allowed to replace 80 and 3ts
with As and As, giving circulation
for full face value. 1t is plain that
the Secretary and the President
mean to do all in their power this
Winter to bring Congress to its
senses. and that John Sherman is to
be an Administration ally en- the floor
of the Senate. He will see the
Secretary through and give him such
advice as he may deem best. In
other words, Sherman's sway over
the Treasury is restored.

, one of the most remarkable dis
patches that has flashed across the
continent, was the request few
days ago, of Prof. Brooks, of Red
House Observatory, \. "" i'll behalf
of the astronomical sciences and as
tronomers," that prayers be offered
next Sunday, in all the churches for
fair weather on the 9th instant, to
allow an unobstructed view of the
transit of Venus; another oppor.
tunity for which" he affirms, will
not occur for 81 years. The faith
of this savant seems to exceed his
knowledge. The All-wise Power
does not suspend natural law ut the
petition of finite beings. The spec
tacle of a nation on its knees, with
the civilized world in sympathy, did
not impel violation of this decree
to save President Garfield's life, nor
will special petitions be likely to
accomplish any similar given result,
when invoked by star sazers. But
we are not surprised at the suggest
ion, when we find it coupled with
the remarkable statement that an
other transit of Venus will occur in
u years, when the fact is, as many
who make no pretentions to special
knowledge know, this event will not
take place again for 1872 years.

on which to base such complaints:
