Show The receipts of the government for the fiscal year winch expires on the LiOth of June, 1S7G, will be some $10,-1)00,000 $10,-1)00,000 ' short ot the estimated receipts re-ceipts of the secretary of the treasury. It is enough to state the great falling oil' in the receipt ot ttie government to show the absolute necessity of more retrenchment in congress. The estimates esti-mates of Secretary b'rislow show an average deficiency of nearly one million mil-lion a month for the whole fiscal year, and though the reduced expenditures expen-ditures of ttie government cover this amount, it is just so much cut oil from the anticipated reduetiou.oi the public debi, and the interest which attaches to just so many millions of .dollars which, undor belter auspices, might be saved to the treasury. |
