The internal reyenue of the National Treasury
areragod $8,830,828 In each of the past two
ireeka, and w II amount to about Ave million dol
lars In the week now closing.
Thiis far In too current flscal yar, cooimenolnc
vith Julj 1, 1865, the Income of the Government
from, tills iucreatnrl.r prolino source haa boon a
trifle ,over. $206,000,000, or equal to a weekly
average of $8,2.2, 4M a rate which, carried
tbrouph tho remaining ninctocn weeks ot tbo
year, woull make tba aegreeato of the teat's
revenae, ITom Internal taxation alone, $J24,
600,048, or over one hundred and thirteen mil
lion dollars more than the Intcrrnal revenue in
the last fiscal year, and nearly throe times that
of the year .ndlng with June 30, 1864. Tbo fol
lowing are the comparative dgurcj:
Internal Revenue ot ibe Government In the Uical
... 1 ears
. ..3868-4 1SR4-
tirsnd total.. S117.146.719 211 13 629 S324.608,019
We give the oUicial returns lor 1863-4, and
1864-5. We make up the total for 186j-,
lroin the fc-ul otl i rial returns tor thirty-throe
weekfl, and take the weekly average tor this
period to enable us to give an approximate esti
mate ot the revenue lor the whole of the current
fiscal year. The indications are that the actual
result will be handsomely ahead ot our estimate.
Assuming the latter, however, as a reliable basis
of compuriHon, we Und that it exceeds the calcu
lations of the Treasury Department by fllty-two
and a hall million dollars; tbe Income of the
last fiscal year by $113,485,419; and tbat of tbe
year ending June 30, 18.4, by $207,400, 299, or
nearly as much as the total revenue tor the
whole of the year endinsr June 30, 1865.
The customs revenue (In coin) of the Govern
ment through the p rt of Ne "oric, has been
$2,641,000 thus far in the current week, making
$7,232,000 since the first iustant; $19,702,000
since the 1st of January, i860; aud $8.3,429,000
since the commencement of the present fiscal
jear, July 1, 1865. This is equal to a weekly
average of nearly $2,000,000, or a yearly aggre
gate of about $135,000,000 in gold, worth, at the
present market value of tbe precious metal,
$187,125,000 in currency. The most reliable
estimates of the cut-tows revenue or the Govern
ment, through all ihe poits of the couutry, place
the aggregate as hih as $180,000,000 la gold for
the whole of the current fiscal year, which, at
the ruling market price, would be equal to
$247,600,000 in cuirency. This would mate the
grand income ot the National Treasury from
Internal revenue and customs duties, for tbe
year ending with Juno 30, 1800, equivalent to
about five hundred and seventy-two million dol
lars in currencv.
Granting that the aggregate expenses of the
Government will reach $;150,000,000 (a very
liberal lostlmate Indeed) in the current fiscal
year, the anticipated revenue, as indicated
above, would meet all tbe disbursement! and
leave considerably over two hundred million
dollars to be applied to the reduction of the
public Indebted uees, in such form and manner
as would be most in harmony wilh the udiclou9
policy of Secretary llcCulloch.
In view of these significant "facts and figures,"
and of the very manliest disposition ot Congress
to render all possible aid to the Secretary of tbe
Treasury in h3 gieant c labor of adjusting the
national finances to "the new order of things,"
the inspiri.ing financial strength and credit of
the Government aie Indisputable, and becoming;
more and more clearly recognized day after day.
Indirect evidence of this 1b furnished by the
strong downward tendency ot gold, and the
steady rise in tbe market value ot the public
fords. The fall in gold from tbe highest price,
thus lor In the current year, is fully seven per
cent. On the other hand, there has been a nota
ble improvement in the national stocks since the
opening of the year, not only in regard to the
vastly increased investment demand developed
by the low prices rnlingin December, but also
as shown in tbe actual advance on those prices.
The rise in the value of the public securities
has not lessened tbe eagerness of buyers to pur
chase them. On the contrary, it would seem to
have had a directly opposite effect. Within the
past few daje, tbe volume of business operations
in the Government bonds and notes haa been
very large, on a rapidly advancing market. The
inquiry has been unusually comprehensive, run-
ing on all the six and five per cent, coin boar
ins stocks, as weil as on tbe Seven-thirties, com
pound interest notes, and ceiti'icates of in
debtedness. The heaviest transactions have been in the
Five-twenty gold bonds and the Seven-thirty
notes. Thelatier are now within a fraction of
their par value, and resolutely appreciating,
under a brink investment demand, to sati-ay
which, especially in the instance of the notes of
the smaller denominations, the commission
houses experience much difficulty. The Five
twenties, which a short tire u?o were as low as
99jtelO0A, are now up to 103103. and are in
active request at buoyant rates. All these cir
cumstances are eminently suggestive of the
steady growth of the public credit, and of the no
less uniform improvement in the purchasing
power of the lawful money of tne country, as
determined by the specie standard.
Southern Slander.
From the Tribune.
A Richmond paper supplies its reader
with what purports to be ou account of
the examination of tKj Virginia delegation
by the Reconstruction Committee. Mr.
Baldwin the Rebel Congressman who re
cently nominated Robert E. Lee for Governor
of Virginia, and moie recently made his speech
to the President appears to have testiilod that
he had a private interview with Mr. Lincoln
in April, 1861:-
"Mr. Lincoln allied why tho Virginia Con
vention did not adjourn. His reply was that,
although there was a Union -majority in the
Convention, they would not adjourn while
ignorant ot the plan for the adjiibtuient of our
National difficulties. He hud ulso said that if
he had Mr. Lincoln's power be could settle tho
disaffection in fifteen minutes by withdrawing
the troops from Sumter und I'ickeus, and by
calling a Convention ot all ihe State. Mr.
Lincoln had replied that be would do this."
Mr. Howard, one of the Committee, objected
and said:
"He felt certcin that Mr. Lincoln had never
promsed to withdraw the troops iroiu Sumter,
as an inducement to the Virginia Convention to
adjourn, for ho would have "been swept from bin
seat by the indignant people of the North.
"Mr. Baldwin replied that his memory was
good, and such was his impression; but as he
was alone with Mr. Lincoln on that occasion,
and there was no one now to rebut bis t'sti
wony, he would not give it as an vtuinj more
than an impression left upon his mind."
If Mr. Llncoln'n memory is to bo at the mercy
of every Rebel who chooses to reuiembar a "pri
vate" conversation, what is to becouio of tho
facts, or how is history to be written ? Mr. Bald
win, however, simmers down into an. "impres
sion," and may step olfthe witness stand.
Government Securities.
Frm Ihe Tribune.
It Is reported by the National Ia'.eVAganser that
a conspiracy has been discovered, having for iU
object to depress the credit of tbe Government,
create apanlo in Europe on the subject of Ame
rican securities, and force home the bonds held
in Europe in such amounts as to break down
tbo market here and precipitate a financial
crisis. Information to this effect it said to have
beau furnished to tho State Department by
the United States Consul-General for Canada.
It is added that a Canadian agent earns! Ver

An Example for Southern Rebel Poll-
. , - ticians.
Frtm, the Ifxrald.
The impropriety of electing loading ex-Rebels
to our national Congress is e obvious that we
are really astonished that the politicians ot the
South, silly and fanatical as they have hitherto
shown themselves, should persist in attempting
to force ex-Rebel officials into the councils of
loyal representatives. The American people are
very magnanimous; but they-are by no means
prepared to consent to see Jeff. Davis take his
old seat In the United States Sonate, and almost
equally prominent Rebels figuring in the House.
From President Johnbon to the humblest wort
lngman, the people are unanimous. y of the
amnion that a season of probation, during which
these leading Rebels may show their conversion
to Union seirincnts by their good works, must
be imperatively insisted npon betor. they are
again admit. ed to prominent positions in tne
Government of the couutry which they have
triod so hard to ruin.
Mr. Alexander II. Stephens, who served as
Vlce-Pr-? ident of tbe defunct Confederacy, has
administered a timely rebuke to the Southern
politicians, and set an excellent example to
others in bis situation by positivolv declining to
accept the Sonatorshio from Georgia. When
his name was proposed he wrote a letter refusing
the nomination, and when the stupid politicians
insipted upon elec'ing him ho declined to serve.
Mr. Stephens Is sensible enough to see the out
raged absurdity oi rewarding i reason by oflicos
oi btate. That may be done in Spain, but it will
not be permitted In this country. .
He knows, also, that toe effect of tbe election
of euch men as bnupell is to strengthen tbe
Radicals, to give a kind ot justification to their
refusal to admit tho Southern delegations, and
to induce the Northern people to favor the
punishment of unrepentant traitors, and more
severe lcglslnt on in regard to the South, whose
pel ticians show themselves so incapable of ap
preciating clcmencv, and so utterly destitute of
common sense. We hoDO that the leading Re
bels of the South will have the srood Us'e to
Imitate Mr. Stephens' example, and refuse to
serve, even li tbe politicians are tool it h enough
to elect them, and thus compel the selection of
unobjectionable loyal representatives. If the
contrary course be pursued we shall not expect
tne southern delegates to enter Congress lor ten
years to come.
The Kentucky legislature A New Rebel
lion Threatened.
From the Jlirald.
The Kentucky Legislature la making itself
supremely ridiculous in tho face of the world.
Tbe other day it solemnly rejected the great con
stitutional amendment for the second time, and
in this instance alter tbe amendment had been
officlallyjproclaimed a part ot th Constitution
the supremo law of the land. This is, hoev.:r,
a Binall affair compared with what follows.
Lately a whito man, charged with the murder of
a black man in Kentucky, was takeu by order of
General Fisk and a posc of colored troop;, from
the civil authorl'le and turned' over to a mili
tary camp. Why this was done General Palmer
may explain in hit statement that the civil
authorities afford no justice or protection to tho
negto in Kentucky. The proceedinsr, at all
events, stirred up the wrath of the State Senate
to a high pitch. Mr. Covin thought we were
under a centralized despotism; that the military
authorities were seeking to degrade Kentucky
through mere malevolence; and he said tbat "if
we cannot get redress in an v other way, he was for
resistance, even at tho point of the bayonet, to
determine whether we are Iri-emen or slaves."
But Mr. Cochran out-llcroded Herod. Hear
him:
Mr. Cochran denounced the Government as a cen
tialized despotism, and thai the community oi tral
toig, with Anaretv Johnson at tlioir head, were rush
in? tbe country into ruin. Ihe time has not yet
come lor open lesUtancei but when it did when the
authorises tailed to rod rem these wroups he was
tor resistance to the death. Ho would rather die a
ucenian than lire a slave.
Those fellows have evidently not had enouah
of war as neutrals, and are hungering for a little
rebellion of their own. When tbey say, how
ever, tbat tuey would miner u e as neeiuen than
live as slaves, tbey meaa that they will die If
tneir ireemen are not neia as slaves, but never
mind. Kentucky has been unlucky, and we
must fallow ner uiue to simmer aown.
Fenlanum In a New rbase.
From the Ihrahl.
Fenianism, that once raised its head so high
among the public questions of the day, is now
like the man in the Bible who needed the ser
vices of the good Samaritan it has fallen into
thir hands of the broken-down politicians. At
the late Fenian meeting iu tbe Cooper Institute
Fernando Wood and two or three more attenuated
political hacks, iepiesonting both parties, ap
pearedon the platform and announced themselves
champions of "the cause." It is the last leather
that breaks the camel's back. The decline of
the organizat on, which commenced la a per
sonal leud und gem-ral "bal'irag," arifllng out
oi tne amotion ana tne avance ot a would-bo
leader, maybe expected to lurrv aown wards
with a rnili since the adhesion of tho broken

Recent Commercial Treaties In jEuropo.
From the World.
In addressing his constituents at Ashton, less
than three weeks ago, Milner Gib-ion, President
of the English Board of Trade, gave some im
portant information as to the results of the com
mercial treaty between France and England, for
which not only these countries, but Europe
itself, is indebted to the late Richard Cobden.
These beneficial effects are not to be iound alone
iu the moral advantages arising lroin more
closely cemented relations between the two
nations which were parties to the treaty, or
merely In the direct results, which are tolerably
well understood aud appreciated. Even, the
commercial consequences proluced by it are
not duly estimated by those who considev only
tne great Increase of trade between tbe two
leading commercial nations of the Old World.
Since the ratification of the treaty with
France, the value of the exports of England to
the European continent have increased from
about 60 millions, iu I860, lo more tnan 100
mill'ons in 1806; atid the increase undoubtedly
would have been much larger but for the d"d
cieuey of cotton arising from our own war. The
treaty was tbe brat great inroad upon the pro.
hibitory sjftera of Europe. France did not
grant to oth.-r cnuntris tho.-ie reductions of
duties which she granted England, and has
since made use of this fact as the moans, by
admitting other nations to the same privileges
as England enjoys uu ler the treaty, to induce
other countries to eater into icommerciul
treaties with her. Udder the "favore l-ntion
clause" the export of England are then admitted
on tbe tame terms as those of France.
The recent ticaty of England with Austria is
ot a dillereut chai after, having been made
directly between those two countries. Aus
tna agrees that hereafter she will not exact on
importations any fluty exceeding 25 per cent, a
high duty, certainly, but the utmost limit to all
her tnture tarllls. She has done more than
this, having also agreed that Austrian commis
sioners shall be appointed to advise with those
from England as to the dut e within tbe stipu
lated range. Austria includes a population of
36,000,000, aud the benefit of the new polioy,
though great to the parties to tho treaty, will,
by the increased pronperny It will give to the
people oi tioib those countr.es, as well as by
the degree of emancipation it will confer upon
the lndubtry of all other nations, be' felt
throughout the commonwealth of all olvilhccd
nations. .
There Is little doubt that the predictions of
Mr. Cobncn will be fulfilled, and tbat all Europe
will soon be, to a grea1 extent, anima'ed by the
commercial policy embodlod in the recent treaty
With Austria.
Thus, tbo people of the Old World are ap
proaching a system of consolidation, leaving
teem entirely tree in their national government,
witb their various local and ot bpr special tls and
requirements, but uniting their industrial inter
ests. Union is strength, and this kind of it is a
strength which cannot iustly be regardel with
leaiousv or suspicion by any. Commercially
considered, as regards tbe Interests of this conn
try, its beneficial Influence upon the material
interests of the masses of the European people
will tend to increase tbe demand tor the great
staple productions of our own industry; aud by
the inciease of the competence, Intelligence,
and International good will wblch will aiise
from it, the people of Europe will be better flted
for the privileges and responsibilities of self-
government.
Air. uiosoii auuoea nricny to tne condition oi
En el is-h trade with the United States, and set
the tears of alarmists at rest. The exports to
this country were no more last year than in
18H0, having been in round numbers 21,000,000
in value in I860, and also about 21.000,000 in
1805. ihe increase over was only about
4,000,000.
