The gain, it will be observed, has been ex-
clusvcly in customs duties. For the first time
in many months, the receipts from internal
taxes show a decrease, and there is also de-
crease in miscellaneous receipts. The gain of
SO, 500 900 in customs duties is due to the
heavy inpOrtations recently made; the value
of imported goods in January was 500, 767, ,OSG,
against $l5, 5,2s4, 22S in January of last year.
The gain of $ll, ,4S2,22S in imports, with a
loss of $9,370,297 in exports for the same
month, does not indicate very healthy state
of foreign trade.

MP KFLSEY,S CONTRIBUTION.

when the Supreme Court of New-Jersey f0rm-
ally declared that it differed unanimously and
dccisively with Mr.. Kelsey's Interpretation OF an
ALLEGED law under which he had paid himself
some $1,000 for filing the names OF persons
who had presumed to be born, get mar
ricd or die within his jurisdiction, and
when the same Court divided on the
question whether he should restore to the
Treasury So, 900 which he had detained for
mailing some printed matter to the newspapers
it was thought that in the natural course OF
litigation the controversy would be carried to
the Court OF final resort. The opinions OF
Judges Magic and Beasley diverged at such an
obtuse angle that poll of the full bench on
the issues involved would have been inter-
esting Judge Magic held that there was neither
law nor usage to Justify the payments. Judge
Beasley held that tho payments may have
been originally an error, but by their repetl-
tions they had become established law. If the
Court of Errors had been allowed to decide
Just how long an official needs to persist IN
an error before the error ceases to
be erroneous, a valuable precedent would
have been established. The fees for filing
vital statistics, for example, were pronounced
illegal. Would their collection have become
lawful if persisted in say for half a dozen
years7
But at this point another difficulty was en-
countered. From report of the Controller 1t
was learned that if the State should ultimately
recover Attorney General Stockton would
absorb the bulk of the money in ques-
ton for his labors in the proSecu-
ton, and if the State did not recover
Mr. Stockton would be on hand to recover
his bill. 1t was a question then whether the
Secretary or the Attorney General was the
most expensive luxury, and the Senate voted
to abandon the action. This matter decided,
the Senate confirmed Mr.. Kelsey Thursday by
large majority. If his next term is not
more remunerative than his last 1t VIII
be solely because he is restrained by high
moral principle. 1t is pretty plain that no.
body will offer any serious objections to his
method of doing business. Considering his
opportunities and the eagerness with which
both parties strive to help him along, the
State should be grateful that his "detentions
from the Treasury have been SO modest and
moderate.
New-York tribune., 1882-03-04


Nearly the whole of this large sum the
Treasury has drawn from the market during
the past month and is now about to pay out
for pensions, or for principal or interest OF the
public debt. The increase in gold on hand is
rather surprising, in view of the fact that ex-
ports have largely exceeded imports during the
past month, and even in January the excess in
imports of gold was only about $1,000, 900.
Some gold bullion was received, for
the coinage of gold, $6,67l,037, exceeds the
decrease in gold bullion on hand, So, ,4Gl .443.
But the increase in gold coin on hand was
S14OGQ, ,529, which shows an unexpected ac-
cumulation in excess of new coin received
from the mint. While only 100000 silver
dollars were coined in February, the increase
in standard silver dollars on hand was
$2,71G,373, and the gain in fractional silver
nearly balances the loss in silver bullion OH
hand. The accumulation in bank and legal
tender notes, over $2,S00,00O is not bal
anced by any increase in the amount due
banks. which is lower than it was a month
ago. Amounts due to disbursng officers are
only 5000, 900 larger than they were Feb
ruary l.
The Treasury has paid very little debt dur
ing the past month; in fact, the changes in
debt are insignificant. Large revenues have
poured into the Treasury a sum much beyond
its immediate needs. The receipts for the
month of February compared with those of
the corresponding month last year. have been:

1t was said in palliation of this walking
match that it would be the last; but it seems
to have been arranged to turn out so that 1t
will be only the beginning of greater evils,
for since Rowell has withdrawn there will be a
new champion by this evening, who Will
be constant temptation and excuse to the
professional pedestrians and the gamblers who
use them so shrewdly. The prophecy of
Hughes, made before he entered for the con-
test, that whoever sis ahead at the end of the
third day will not be at the end of the sixth"
has been curiOusly fulfilled, and it is believed
by many that the Englishman's illness was ar
ranged beforehand. Still, very heavy induce
ments must have been offered to him to quit
the track, for if he had been the winner he
would have carried off from fifteen to twenty
thousand dollars. But the pluckngs which
professional gamblers gain from fools who bet
at these contests may justify them even in this
heavy expense.

Both Houses Of the Legislature adjourned
from Friday until Monday evening Consider
ing that they did not get to work until six
weeks of the session were gone, it does
seem as if our legislators might occasionally
remain in session Saturdays without running
any risk of accomplishing too much for the
public or Of Overtasking their craftsmanship
Commissioner Flynn of the Board of Educa-
ton Is uselessly laying up wrath against the
day of wrath when he offers resolution that
if women teachers in the public schools marry
they must give up their positions. He would
better look out; he is not only arousing the
Indignation of the women, but those IN
tended husbands who are willing to let their
wives work will also be angry.
The capitalists who want to put fifty mill
ions in an aqueduct to be built in the valley
of the Hudson, presumably 10 bring water
from Lake George to Ncw-YoTk, selling it
also to cities along the way, ought to have an
eye to the very distant future and construct
a work that will be picturesque when it falls
In ruins several thousand years from this
date Somebody who has this matter in charge
should also explain why the names of two
men, who say that they know nothing about
the scheme, appear in connection with it.
IL Is TO be feared that the Senators who
voted for an adjournment yesterday when the
Chinese Immigration bill seemed likely to be
passed in half an hour, will be so refreshed by
Monday that they can talk on for the greater
part of the week. The dulness of most of the
speeches thus far makes this outlook dreary.

The poor woman whom people suspect of
numbering her husband, chiefly because he
said before he died that she shot him, does
not even enjoy what may be termed the
natural advantages of a most unpleasant situ-
alton. Generally, wives so placed excite much
sympathy Their cries of agony, their protesta-
tions that they didn't do it, and their prayers
for the recovery Of the dying person, move
the coolest heart to a strong belief in their
innocence. Mrs. Wallis piercing shrieks and
agonized appeals to the Deity, and her solemn
declarations that she is "innocent of her
darlings blood" fall coldly on the public ear.
Her former profession is against her; she was
an actress, and people cannot avoid the sus-
plcion that she is acting, unjust as the thought
may be.

Attention has been called time and again to
the extortions of the pilots of this port; but
too much prominence can hardly be given to
the matter There is no reason why the yes
sci that pays $67 to enter Liverpool should
give three and one-half times that amount to
come into New York harbor. No purely pa
triotic considerations demand that foreigners
should be swindled to that extent. 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped that the resolutions OF the
Chamber of Commerce adopted Thursday will
have their due effect in the Assembly at
Albany, and that the influence of the pilots
will not reach further than the lobby. The
assurance of this class Of persons is out OF all
proportion with the services rendered.
