Statement of Alexander Delmar, Director of the Bureau of Sta tistics, of Receipts and Ex penditures of the Gov ernment During the Past Three Tears. fWr. Alexander Delmar having been legis late! out of office bt Congress, and haying until the first of January next only in which to render the science ot statistics ridiculous, has made desperate effort to bolster up the repudiation planks of the Democratic platform by the "exhibit" from which we quote all the ma'erlil portions below. Having jlvea the masterly and Irrefutable statement of Messrs. Wells and Aiklnaon, we permit expir ing Democracy to give this last financial gacp nonfldt nt that the most superficial reader w 11 at once detect lis sophistries aud contradictions. Ait Insight into Mr. Ddmar's utter recklessness and nnirustwoTlulness is afforded by the fact that he anticipates on the first of January next a balance In the natloual Treasury of only 28,000,000, In old and currency combined; and this despite the unquestionable fact that there U now accumulated more than three times this amount in gold alone, while the receipts from customs for f.ll three months are to be added to It. Mr. Delmar evidently anticlpa'es the election of Seymour and a Democratic Congress, and trusts to both to being legislated back into his sinecure. So he perverts facts and figures with a reckless handi 3n order to contribute to his own resurrection, Ugurlng up a deficiency of $154,000,000 before the first of July next by doubling the Con. gresslonal estimates of ordinary expendi tures ; by placing the gold revenue from customs at $150,000,000 only, in place of $173,000,000, the annual aver tge during three years past; and by pulling down the entire annual receipts from internal revenue to $122,000,000. As a financier, Delmar totally eclipses his past record as a statistician, tod deserves to iauk as a statesman of the first Democratic water, Jiditor Evkninq Ielb GRAPH. On the 19th inst , the following letter dated at New York, was forwarded to lion. Alexander D Jlraar, Director of the Bureau of Statistics, at Wathngton: Sir: Your familiarity with the affairs of the Treasuiy leads us to make the following in quiries, to which we enall feci obliged for an early reply t 1.

Gentlemen: In iepiy to yours of the 19ch ins1 ant, and to numerous otter letters addressed to me on the subject, I have the honor to fur nish the following account of the condition of tue Untied States Treasury, as set forth iu the reports of its various officers: Tue receipts and expenditures of the Trea sury may be divided into four branches, classed as Jollowis: First, the lteglter's receipts aud expenditures; second, the Treasurer's receipts and expenditures; third, the Post Ulrica receipts and expenditures; fourth, the Navy Pension Fund. The Betjisier's receipts and expenditures appear Id the Reeieter's reports the Treasurer's receipts and expenditures appear in the Trea surer's reports, the Post Office receipts and ex penditures in the report of the Postmaster General, and the accounts ot the Navy Pension Fund in the reports of the Commissioner of Tensions. The Uegister's receipts are pross receipts. The expenses ot collection, drawbacks, discounts, repayments, etc., appear in the expenditures. The following are the Register's receipts and expenditures for the past three fiscal years: bioibteh aauiciprs, 1885-88. 1888--S7. 187-8.

All that occur after the close ot the year go on the next year's account, so that, though if a series ot years be taken together the back receipt! and expenditures are includi d, yet it it be desirable to ascertain the total revenue aad cost ot the Government for any single year by itself it cannot be ioue from these tlftures alone. For this reason they are not aggregated iu the Secretary's report, lie course must be had to the Treasurer's receipts and expenditures, which also Include all re 'ceipts from sales of captured aud abandoned property, confiscation, prizes, sales of war vessels, etc., etc., items which do not appear in the Register's accounts as published, and which items, during the past three year, with the back receipts aud expenditures, have averaged nearly $60,01)0,000 a year, as follows: TUXA8UBY BaCKIPTS, 186&-. 188H-87. r 1867-6.

The estimated expenditures (summary esti mate) for the current fiscal year, aud the amount and class of appropriations (detailed estimates) required to coverthem, will be found respectively in Executive Documents No?. 2 and 3, Fortieth Congress, second session. Iu actual order of time tbe detailed estimates preceded the summary estimate.

There already exist perma nent appropriations wblcu will cover $180,469,000 of this amount.
