The State of the Treasury.

The Secretary of the Treasury is
still holding up appropriations, and
it is evident from his own statements
that he must continue to do so un-
less Congress authorizes the nego-
tiation of a new loan.
The fact that the Fifty-frst Con-
gress authorized expenditures in eI-
cess Of the Governments income is
now recognized and practically adj
mitted. Many hundreds of work
ingmen engaged on public buildings
and on other works have felt the
hardships of waiting for the money
due from the Government. And
now the Judgment creditors who
have won their suits in the Court Of
Claims find that the collection of
their money is postponed by the
order of the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Notwithstanding the failure Of
the Government to pay its just dues,
the monthly debt statement shows
that the amount of cash in the
Treasury is declining. Counting
the gold reserves az an available
asset, after his fashion, Mr.. Foster
claimed net cash balance Of 1882,
500, 1884 at end Of March. He pre-
tended that this was the sum Of his
available assets, but from it must be
deducted the following items:

Prizes Awarded TO the students OF the
Academy OF Design.
Tho drawings OF the students Of tho classes
OF the National Academy Of Design have been
on exhibition for two days In the lecture room
Of the Academy at. Twenty third street and
Fourth avenue and last evening the prizes
were awarded. Many art students have visited
the exhibition and found in 1t much that Is
interesting in itself and full OF promise for
the students. Not few persons. however. have
been attracted to the exhibition by STUPID re-
ports that the work OF tho students Of the life
class was not of a sort for popular inspection.
The drawings were not intended to be seen by
unintellieent persons. Of course. and the cry
that has been raised against their exhibition
has alone seemed to attract the rabble and the
purient- minded. To the art student n view Of
them has been OF much interest and value.
