15, 1868.— Hon. IFm. B. Allison, M. C. —Sir: I
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your note ol July 9, and In reference to the same
I submit the lollowiug statements, premising,
however, that only substantial accuracy can bo
claimed for the account of receipts and expendl
’ tures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18G8j
inasmuch as sufficient time has not yet elapsed to
allow of a perfect and exact settlement on the
books of tho Treasury Department of all the
accounts of the last quarter of tho last fiscal year.
FIRST—RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES.
Receipts.— The national receipts of revenue
from all sources, for the fiscal year ending June
-10,1868, were substantially as follows:
'Customs (gold) $1G3,500,000
Internal Revenue (currency) 193,000,000
Miscellaneous (currency) 47,000,000
.Public Lands and direct tax (cur
, icncy) 2.800,000
expenditures.
The expenditure of tho Government on account
•of interest on the public debt for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1868, was $141,635,651 13.
The aggregate expenditures of the several de
partments ot the Government for the same
period were $229,914,074 56, making a total ex
penditure fbr the fiscal year ending June 30tb,
18G8, of $371,550,325, and tearing an estimated
surplus of receipts over expenditures of $34,749,-
777. .
An analysis of these expenditures affords the
following results:
Interest —The present condition of the funded
and interest-bearing debt of the United States,ex
clusive of the bonds issued to the Pacific Railroad
Companies (the interest on which is a charge
upon the roads), necessitates a present annual
expenditure on account of interest of about
$126,000,000..
The excess of expenditure On account of in
terest over this amount during the last fiscal
year was dne mainly to payments on account of
accumulated interest on the “compound interest
notes,” and will not again appear in the fntn re
■disbursements of the Treasury on account of in
terest.
NATIONAL EXPENDITURES OTHER THAN FOR IN-
TEItKST.

the Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary, For

The expenditures under this head, for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1868, wore $53,009,846 95.
The estimate for tho present fiscal year, as de
duced from the appropriation bills, and including
permanent appropriations,is about $36 000,000.
Interior Department.— The expenditures un
der this head for the fiscal year ending Jane 30,
1808, were $27,882,676 27; which were appor

This amount, deducted from the aggregate ex
penditures above given, indicates the regular and
legitimate army expenditures for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1868, to have been $36,713,-110,
■of which no inconsiderable part is juntly charge
able to the expenses attendant upon' the ex
istence of Indian hostilities upon the plains in
the Bummer and Fall of 18G7, which largely and
exceptionably augmented the cost of transpor
tation and subsistence.
The military appropriations for the current
■fiscal year are $33,081,013.
CLASSIFICATION OI- EXI’EN DITCHES,
If we divide the total expenditure ol the last
fiscal year into "ordinary expenses," or those
which are required to support and maintain the
Government and "extraordinary exi-enbkb,
or those which have been the unavoidable results
of the war, we have the following classification:

. .The amount of taxes abated or repealed fiince
the close of the war Lae been estimated as fol
_ lows:
By act of July 13, 1860...
By act of March 2, 1867
By act of Feb. 3,18G8 (exemption of raw
23,760,000
By act of March 31 43,500,000
Total 8107,260,000
, By the system of Internal Revenue which pre
vailed at the close of the War, taxation may be
fiald to have been all but universal; land, agricul
cultural produce, unmanufactured lumber,bread
stuSß, and a few other forms of property or pro
ducts only being excepted, in aggregate of i en
, articles or products made avail
able as sources ol internal revenue in Jnly, i 86.7,
would probably be airtmier rather ’ thmran *oreiy
estimate. At ihc present time of all manufac
tured articles or products of Industry, the follow
ing only arc subject to specific or direct taxation;
distilled spirits, fermented , liquors, manufactured
tobacco, gas, matches and playing cards. Perfumery,
cosmetics, patent medicines and a few other ma
nufactured articles, aro subjected to a stamp-tax
proportioned to their selling price. Since July,
1865, furthermore, the additional tax of flvo per
cent, on incomes in excess of $5,000 has been re
pealed, and tbe exemption in all incomes has
been increased from $6OO to $l,OOO. Tbe taxa
tion formerly imposed on the gross receipts ac
cruing from the transportation of merchandise
has also been entirely removed. Coincident with,
the above reduction of taxation, or from the 31st
of August, 18G5, to the 30th of Jane; 18G8, the
aggregate of tho national indebtedness, including
cash in the Treasury, exhibts a redaction in
round numbers of $250,000,000 (two hundred and
fifty millions /) On this abatement of the debt, tho
reduction of the interest, calculated at six per
centum, would bo ($15,000,000) fifteen millions
per annum.
Third : The Expenditures oftheWar Depart
ment.—Tho aggregate expenditures made through
or under the direction of tho War Department,
from April 1, 1865, to June 30, 1868, inclusive,
were $917,117,043 43. Of thiß aggregate, tho
disbursements for nine months, or from April 1,
1865, to Dec. 31, of tho same year, as stated by
quarters, were as follows :
From April 1 to June 30, 1865 $414,196,277 3G
From June 30 to Sept. 30,1865 165,369,237 32
From Sept. 30 to Dec. 31,1865 68,122,541 65
Total $647,688,056 33
It thus appears that of the above total expen
ditures of tbe War Department, $617,688,000, or
70 per cent, of the whole, wore directly contin
gent upon the termination of the war and tbo
disbanding of the army, and were disbursed
within the nlno months immediately succeeding
the surrender of Lee in April, 1865.
The balance of expenditure charged to tho War
Department on the books of the Treasury, viz.:
$269,428,987 10, covers a poriodof thirty months,
or from Jan. 1, 1860, to Juno 30, 1868, and repre
sents the disbursements farther contingent upon
the termination of tho war, such as arrears of
pay and transportation of troops; tho regular
expenses of the military establishment; the ex
pense of the Indian War in tho summer and fall
of 1867; the payment of bounties ($49,382,859
from July 1,1866, to June 30,1868); tho payments
for property lost or destroyed in the military
service of the Uniled—States ($11,000,000); the
reimbursement of State claims ($10,330,000 in
1867-8); river and harbor improvements, and the
expenses of fortifications; subsistence of In
dians; Freedmen’s Bureau: expenses of Recon
struction, .fee., .fee.
$406,3U0,UU0
Fourth: Expenditures of the Navy Department .• —■
The expenditures of the Navy Department from
April 1.1865, CovJune 30,1868, were $133,119,-
296 37. Of this.amount, $58,847,888 53, or 45 per
cent, were disbursed within the nino months im
mediately succeeding the termination of the war
in April,lB6s. The balance of the above expen
diture, $73,271,407, covers the regular expenses
oi the navy for a period of thiity mouths, ending
July 30, 1868; as well as tho disbursements on
account of prizo money and for the settlement of
contracts entered into prior to the termination of
the war.
Fifth: Freedmen's Bureau and Reconstruction. —
According to the accounts of the Treasury tho
expenses of the Freedmen’s Bureau since its
organization in 1866 havo been as follows:
Disbursements prior to June 30, 1867. .$2,402,000
Disbursements from July 1, 1967, to
Juno 30, 1868 3,215,000
Total $5,617,000
Concerning the proportion of this expenditure
incurred by tho Bureau for the relief of tho
starving and destitute of both races and for edu
cational or other purposes the Treasury has no
information.
According to the account of the Treasury, the
expenditures contingent upon the acts of Con
gress regulating “ Reconstruction,” have been as
follows:
Disbursements prior to June 30,
1867, ; $445,430 56
Disbursements from July 1, 1867 to
June 30,1868
The above statements, derived from the books
and accounts oi the Treasury Department, are
believed to fie substantially correct.

Wliat a Western Soldier Says of Grant.
A correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican saj-s:
"Yesterday I enjoyed the pleasure of a long
conversation with a gentleman who was with
General Grant from the time of his entering the
service in the late war till he was ordered East to
take command as lieutenant-general. My in
lormant was a member of the Elevonth Illinois,
which came under General Grant’s command
late In the tail of 1861. But long before that the
Gtneral, then Brigadier, was a famlliarpersonage
to the Eleventh, lor Us Colonel, W. H. L. Wal
lace, who fell at Shiloh, had been a dose friend of
Grant's in Mexico, and the intimacy was still
maintained. The Eleventh was stationed at
Bird’s Point, Mo., while Grant held command at
Cairo, directly opposite. When the Eleventh,
which had been operating under Oglesby, was at
tached to Grant’s command, that officer was about
os unpopular as he well could be; the troops
were new to the actualities of war, and the
slaughter at Belmont made a deep impression on
them; they believed that Grant fought that battle
entirely on his own judgment, and they were
unable to see that any advantages had been de
rived from it.

"Soon after, the Fort Henry expedition was
planned in perfect secrecy; its success turned the
tide of opinion In Grant's favor, and when, three
months later, Donelson surrendered, my Infor
mant says there was not a soldier In the army who
hod not perfect confidence in its leader. Shiloh,
which followed a few weeks later, my friend
knows nothing of personally, as the presence of
six bullets in his body, souvenirs ot Donelson,
temporarily checked his military career. Some
weeks later, he rejoined his regiment, and was
assigned to duty in the office of the Adjutant-
General, John A. Rawlins. Here, for several
months, he saw Grant dally. ‘But,’ said he, ‘a
man might see him every day for years, and still
know very little about him. It was the feeling
among the troopß that they did not know Grant
—could not get acquainted with him—but their
faith In him wub unqualified, notwithstanding.’
"I asked my informant if ho ever Saw any indi
cation of Intemperance in the General. He re
plied that ho never saw him drink, and never
saw him when he seemed to have been drinking.
’! asked Beckwith,’ said he, ‘who was telegraph
operator at Grant’s headquarters from the time
he was made brigadier till the close of the war,
about this, who said he had seen him almost
( very day for four years, and never saw on him
the slightest sign of intemperance.’ Rawlins my
friend pronounces the ablest executive officer in
the, service; he used frequently to dictate des
patches to six clerks at once, thus beating Napo
leon, whose limit, 1 believe, was five.
“I cannot give you an idea ot the earnestness
with which my friend expressed his confidence in
Grant as an officer and a man—a faith which, he
averred, was shared by almost every man who
ft rved under the General. He could tell mo no
thing new or striking about the latter—remark
ing that ho was a man so Belt-contained and in
dependent that there was little about him to tell;
his deeds speak for him. But I thought the testi
mony of a New England boy, who served four
yeare in one of the most famous western regi
ments, celebrating his twenty-first birthday In an
hospital, with b!x rebel bullets for company, and
who worked his wav up from private to captain
and assistant adjutant general, might possess
some interest for your readors.”

nunciation of the Reconstruction laws of Con

by Ibe bayonet and scoundrels, and’designating
as rogues, renegades and villaluß all who saw fit

the provisions of those laws would be called ou

piece of glaring effrontery, intended to influence
the masses with party prejudices and intolerance
toward those who 6eo fit to entertain opposite
political opinions. It was a wofnl speech for tbe
Democratic party and the Democratic cause. ‘lf
this be what our party is working for,’ said one
staunch old line Democrat, ‘I can have nothing
to do with it. It is dangerous.’ And he left the
ground.”
