assurance was fully justified by the event,) nothing
Could be more favorable for the eoneummation

however, some arms and timmanitiort, not in pos.

men of'the tillage, and those who had assembled
from the neighborhood, arming themselves, time

The failure of Congress at its last session to pass the
Llll for the se rvice of the Poet Offlos Department ren
ders necessary appropriatione for that department which
meet be paid during the present fiscal year. As these
amounts are not contained in the preceding statement
it will be necessary to consider them, in order to arrive
at the true condition of the treasury at the close of the
presentand next fiscal years.
It will be den from the communication of the Post
master General, accompanying my report on the esti
mates, that there wi I be required to pay the deficiency
in that department for the fiscal year ending the 30th of
June, 1860, the sum 6(34,260,009; and to supply the de
ficiency for the present anal year ending the 30th of
June, 1860, the further sum of $6,620,324. In addition
to these amotinta, the Secretary of the Interior solunita
en estimate for the sum of $639,330, which he will re.
quire during the present fiscal year to carry out certain
Indian treatlee approved at the close of the last session
of Congress. These three ems, amounting to $10 ,301
683, meet be met during the present fiscal year surf
must therefore be deducted from the estimated balance
In the treasury on the 30th of June, 1860. which will
leave in the treasury at that time an estimated balance
of 36,020,123 40.1mA an estimated balance on the 80111 of
June, 1881, of $3,630,106 61. This last amount will be
increased to the extent of the unexpended appropria
tions for the next fiscal year which may remain in the
treasury undrawn on the 90th of June, 1861.
It will be seen that there will be no necessity to pro
vide additional means for the treasury, provided the
receipts should be equal to the estimates, and the ap
propriatione made by Coogreas do not exceed the
amounts estimated for by the department.
1/11 submit, with much confidence, the estimate of pro.
bible receipts during the present and next fiscal years.
It is based upon the operations of oar trade and oom
merce fee the lad twelve months, and upon the condo
lion that the business of the country will continue in
Its present state of comparative prosperity.
At the last session of Congress I submitted an esti
mate of the probable receipts Into the treasury far the
then three remaining quarters of the fiscal year ending
the 80th of June, 1859. The result has approximated
the estimate with unprecedented aocuracy—the actual
receipts being $38,319,301, while the estimate was $28,-
600.000—and as the present estimates are bused upon
similar data, it should greatly strengthen the confidence
to be put in their corrednees.
Bomelapprehension boa been felt that the large amount
of imports daring the last twelve month, would be at
tended with unhappy results in the business of the
country. This apprehension would be well founded if
the facts showed that the imports exceeded the wants of
the country and its ability to pay for them. The Inc
ports during the last fiscal year (as will be aeon by re
ference to table 7) were $3e8.788,130, whilst the exports
for the same period were $356,789.482, showing an ex
cess of exports over imports of $18,021,832. Ac large as
the imports for the last floral year were, they have gone
Into consumption. Table 47 exhibits the amount of goods
in warehouse at New York, on the first of November,
for a eeries of years. It will be seen that the amount on
hand on the Bret of November last Mien not exceed the
amount in previous years, when the country was highly
prosperous and its byline's steady and regular. These
ague." do not exhibit en unhealthy state of trade sad
business. Ono feet, however. connected with our ex
porta has attracted much attention, and led many to be
lieve that we were importing beyond our ability to pay:
I allude to the increase of specie in our export tables.
If specie occupied in the business of the country only
the position of a circulating medium, Ind the supply
waalimited accordingly, there would be Just ground for
this apprehension; snub, however. is not the case, It
constitutes an important element in the list of our pro
ductions; and, like all other productions, where the
quantity exceeds the legitimate demands of the country
for use and oonsumption, it becomes a very proper arti
cle for export.
It is estimated that since 1848 California has pro
duced over five hundred million" of gold. Would her
condition have been improved by retaining that amount
of specie within her limit", to the excluelon of those
articles required for the use of her cithsens, and in ex
change for which this specie has been sent to the Atlan
tic and abroad? Daring the same period Georgia bee
produced wore than eve million bap of cotton. The
same policy which would require California to retain
her gold beyond the legitimate wants of her people,
would with equal propriety require Georgie to retain
within her limits the °seen of the production of cotton
over the wane of her people. The argument is as ep
plicable to oil the Stet*, am to one, and I have used the
illuettations of single Ethatos only because they were
more marked and striking Unleas the export of specie
goes to the extent of violating this manifest principle,
it constitutes no Jost ground of alarm or anxiety. In
this connexion it should be observed that the large ex
cess of:specie exports commences with the discovery of
the California mines, and bee increased very much In
proportion to their increaeedproduction, at will be
seen by reference to table 8, which exhibits far a series
of years the amount of our export of specie. The exact
amount of the production of the California mines dur
ing this period la not known, but It is believed that It
exceeds very largely the amont which has been gene
rally stated. We have no reliable mode of ascertaining
it; but, from the beet information I have been able to
obtain, I should estimate the amount for the last year
at not less than seventy millions of dollars.
Whenever the export of specie shall exceed proper
limit*, the effect will soon be seen and felt in the linen-
Mal and commercial operatiorm of the country. It would
probably be Bret exhibited in the specie buds of the
banks, showing an increased proportion of circulation
and deposits to the amount of specie in their vaults, and
this would soon be followed by derangement and dooms
elon in the general trade and boeinesi of the country.
At present there Is no evidence that either of these rte•
sults are to be apprehended. By reference to table 01t
will be seen that the specie basis of the banks, (whou
the tables for 1859 were prepared,) an compared with
their circulation and deposits, le more favorable than In
1850, the year preceding the Increase of specie exports.
It ie probable that some change has occurred since the
last bank reportn; of that we have no reliable Informa
tion; but It is not believed that It will materially vary
the general proposition. It le appropriate here to re
mark, that in view of the large and conetant Increase of
the production of the precious motile, the country
should look to the policy of substituting specie to
great extent for the present paper circulation. The pro
tees should be gradutd, and whilst It would not derange
the business of the country, would operate as a whole
some check un bank in g and overtrading. The Mop
*Son of an Indep po endent treasury system by the several
States, as recommended in a former report, would go far
towards the accomplishment of this desirable result.
There ill no mode of ucertaining the amount of specie
In general dronlatiOo. All ostlmatea on that point are
pisAily speculative. During a prosperous oondition of
the country it no doubt increases with the demands of
business; and whenever from any cause the supply le
below the wants of the country, it will be manifested
by a depression In bade and general embarrassment.
Until these indicating' appear, we may safely calculate
that there has beels the usual and necessary Increase.
/Oltla ;Imo promo the ICeO attotaa to romil that we
are neethisarllyovertradiog with those countries to Welt
our specie is carried and ea the moat of it goes to the
ports of (treat Britain, they conclude that we are there
tore buying too largely of British produetiona The
fact that payments are made In &teem' must not be con
sidered as conclualve evidence that the debt lees beau
contracted in the course of our trade with that country.
By reference to table 10 it wilt be seen that our imports
for the year ending Julie 30, 1600, from the East and
West Indies, and other eountriee named in the table,
exceed our export to those countriee to the fall extent
of the excess of our export of specie. It will also be
observed that the articles which we import from theta
oonntries are articles of necessity, and generally such
as are not protocol in our own country. These articles
must be lied, and if we cannot furnish in exchange for
them any other of our productiona, they must be paid
for in specie; and It le not material whether the specie
for that ptirpose is sent to London or to the foreign port
of exportation. If this branch of trade consumes the
excess of epode exports, It would leave our commercial
operatione with all other countries upon a cafe beats,
oven in the estimation of those who indulge so many
apprehensions on account of our heavy exports of specie.
It should be observed, in this connection, that our ex
ports to Great Britain for the last natal year exceed our
imports about fifty millions; the exoess, to a great ex
, tout, being applied to the payment of the demands of
the countrice to which I hare met referred.
pilTheao views are submitted to the consideration of
Congress in support of the opinion that we may look
with confidence to a continued increase in the business
of the country. The natural tendency in times of pros
perlty is to extraeaganoe and overtmdietr, and thie feel
leg should not be stimulated. If Indulged, it will in
the future, as it has done In the peat, lead to muttons
and embarrassmouts; but there la no serious danger to
b 3 apprehended if the Increased business of the country
contlitues to bear a proper proportion to thee/ natural
causes which produce and sustain it.
Entertaining these slows, I donut doubt that the ac
tual receipts Into the treasury for the present and next
fiscal years will be fully equal to the estimates. The
only remaining question in connexion with the esti
metes to be considered is the probable demands npcn
the treasury during this period. If the appropriations
made at the present session do not exceed the amount
contained In the estimates, it is believed that they can
bo met with the ordinary and extraordinary receipts al
ready provided for by law. The estimated balance that
will be In the toptattry on the 80th Juno. 1801. Is only
$3,680,106 61,10 leaves no margin for additional appro.
priations. If, therefore, the appropriations should ex
coed the estimates, or Congress ehonld determine to pro
vide within this period for the payment of any portion
of the public debt, it will become necessary to make
provision for such contingencies. The idea of in
creation the public debt to meet the ordinary expenses
of the government should not be entertained for a mo
ment. If additional demands are created upon the
treasury by the legislation of the present Congress,
provision must be made to meet them by such increase
of talif duties as may be mul red for that purpose. In
such an event, I would respectfully refer Congress to
my last report, as containing the views of the depart
meat on the subjeet.
A critical examination of the estimates for the next
fiscal year, submitted to Congress, will exhibit consi
derable reduction from former estimate. The remark
is applicable to every department where any dimities'
eau be exercised over the expenditure. In most eases
the amoucte are fixed by law, and can neither be In
mimed nor diminished by the head of the department.
I have endeavored to enforce the strictest economy in
the various branches of the Treasury Department In
the single branch for collecting the revenue the expense
has been materially reduced by adopting and carrying
ont, where the power existed, the reforms recommended
in the bill for reorganising the collection districts of
the United Metes, eo., submitted by the department to
the last Congress. With further reductions which It
la contemplated to make, I have felt warranted la reduc
ing the estimate for the expense of collecting the re
venue for the next fiscal year live hundred thousand
dollars. The passage of the bill to which X have re
ferred would greatly aid the department in this work of
reform.

The public debt on the let July, 1868, as stated fu my
last annual report, was 516.166,977 60. The art of Jose
14, 1868, authorized an additional loan of $20,000.000,
which has been accordingly negotiated. Of this slBr
620,000 had been paid Into the treasury, and the stock
leaned therefor on the lit of July, 1859, the commence
ment of the present fiscal year. A. portion of the remelt..
der hes been eines paid, end the stook therefor tasted.
The balance will doubtless be soon cuspleted, which
will make the permanent public debt 815,165,977 CM
Of the temporary publio debt authorised by the set of
December 23,1867, providing for the lune of 810,000,-
000 in treasury notee, there were outstanding on the let
July, 1818, as shown by my last report, $19,764,800. On
the 80th June, 2869, the close of the hut dotal year, the
amount of these notou outstanding was 515,046.800. The
details of the varicose descriptions of the publio debt on
the 80th June, 1859, are 'Mown by the statement mark
ed 3.
In the estimated means of the Treasury for the pre
sent and next fiscal years, it will be seen that no pro
vision Is made for the permanent redemption of any
portion of the twenty millions of Trammel antes. The
authority for re homing these notes will expire on the
:10th June next, and it will therefore be netestury for
Congress to extend the law for that purpose for another
period.
On the 2let of January lout, I snbmitted to the Hence
of Representatives, in answer to resolutions of that
body, a report in reference to the export and import
trade of the United States with Great Britain and
Prance. The investigation which I was required to
make for that purpose brooght to my attention the va
rlet:a systems adopted by different countries of obtain
ing and keeping commercial statisticee. These eyetems
are so variant that I found It Impracticable to Institute
any comparison of the facto exhibited in the tables of
different governments, which could be regarded as ac
curate and reliable. livery commercial man will pro
nounce such a state of things an evil of great magni
tude, and ono whist' demands a prompt remedy, if It
can be found.
To avoid a recapitulation of the views presented in
that report, and for the purpose of bringing the subjeet
to the attention of the present Congress, I append to
this report o copy of that communication (merked 11),
nod would ask for it sconsiderstion at this time. Ido
not know a greater benefit that could be conferred upon
the commercial interest of the country, at so mull an
expense, than the adoption by the leading commercial
government. of the world of a uniform system of com
mercial statistics—a unlformunit andcurrency, and tint.
form weight/I and ' measure& Upon cue branch of the
"abject, valuable suggestions will be found in the se
oompanylog report of the director of the mint. The
importance of the eubject cannot be oeereetimated, and
it is hoped that it will receive the careful consideration
of Congress at its present session.
I must again call the attention of Congress to the
provisions of the set of March 3, 1857, on the subject of
deposits by disbursing agents, and repeat the:v*o.llw.-
dubious heretofore made for its modification. In my
former reports I have presented the reasons for some
change of that act so fully that I deem it unnecessary to
do more at this time than to refer to those report', and,
for the reason, therein stated, again to request the ac
tion of Congress on the subject.
The attention of Congress is particularly called to the
accompanying report from the engineer in 'charge of the
Bureau of Construction. It gives a full lied detailed so-
count of the operations of that bureau, charged with the
construction of the various public buildings under the
direction of this department. The principal buildings
now in process of construction are the Treasury extort
sion, in this city, and the custom houses at Charleston
and New Orleans. Three buildings were commenced
under the direction of Congress before I came into of
fice. Bach of them was planned on an expensive wile,
and large amounts had been expended in their erection
before my connection with this department. Tor thin
neither my predecessor. nor thyself are responsible. Our
duty in the premises has been simply executive. Under
these circumstances I submitted. at the last session of
Congress, eatimates for continuing the work upon them
daring the present fiscal year. Melee been commenced,
I deemed It sound policy and true economy to prosecite
to
the works with energy their completion. The esti
mates submitted at the last session wars made under
that conviction. Congress took a different view of the
subject, and reduced the estimates to a point which
Reamed to look merely to the duty of proserviug the on
finished works from injury, and suspending, for the
present at least, their completion . In accirdanee with
the policy thus indicated. I directed the operation on
all these buildings to be brought within the moans at
the disposal of the department; and when those means
were exhausted to stop the work. The report of the
engineer in charge will show that these direeti , ns have
been thus far oomplied with. Thu balance" of former
appropriations will soon be exhausted, when all further
operation will be suspended. In accordance with the
policy so clearly indicated by the action of the last Coo
greed, I have only estimated for a sufficient sum to keep
them from injury for the next fiscal year. If Congress
should adopt a different policy at the precept session,
and determine to continue operations on these works, I
would respectfully refer to the report of the engineer la
charge for estimates of the amounts that will be re
quired during the next decalyear.
I would again invite the etteution of Congress to the
subject of marine hospitals. The facts submitted, as
well In the last so in the present ropert of the engineer
in charge of the Bureau of Construction, demand an in.
vestigation of the subject by Congress. The views
whirls I have heretofore presented are strengthened by
each year's experience, and I would again prose them
upon the consideration of Congress. Throe new hurl
tale bare been completed j and are reedy to be pot in
operation. Before it is done, the necessity and propri-
ety of the step should be oonaldered In the light of the
facts presented,in the reports to which I hare referred.
The refusal of the last Congreu to authorise any addl.
Meal buildings of this character would indicate • ton
currenre with the views of the department on the sub
ject. It only remains to bo determined what clisal
tion should he made of those which hare already been
erected.

In reference to other public buildings authorized by
previous eels of Cougrens, and heretofore suspended for
the wants of menu, stare have been taken to secure the
selection of proper sites. Plans and specifications are
being prepared with a 'view of commencing their erec
tion when It can be done with a doe regard to the con-
Mon of the treasury, The policy of the last Congreefil
in suspending the work upon those already In proem of
ennetruction, would indicate that new ones should not
be commenced until precision la =de for the comple
tion of those already begun
The condition of the Louisville and Portland eanal le
co anomalous as to require the action of Cougress.
Under the amended charter of the State of Kentucky of
January 21, 1812, tho stock previouly belonging to in
dividuals has been redeemed from the earnings of the
canal, erupt that a single chore each le held by certelit
persons to qualify them to act as directors of the corpo
ration The set of the State of Kentucky of February
22, 1844, provides that when the United States shall
become the sole owner of the canal, the jurisdiction of
the State over it shall be yielded to the United States.
The amount advanced from the treasury for the eon.
etructlon of thie canal was $233,100, and the amount of
dividends paid into the treasury up to 1842 le $125,101
48, so that in fact the whole cost of the stock held by
the United States had boon reimbursed previous to the
amended charter. Since that charter, and the redemp
tion of the Mock of Individuals tinder its provisions,
the earnings of the canal have been applied to its tm
provement by the directors, and wtteuevec the amdunt
he. exceeded that requirement, it is understood the tulle
have been reduced. No revenue has been received from
it since that period, and none to contemplated.
Under the lawn of Kentucey the Uoitod States are
aubehmtially owners of this canal, but no authority hex
been given to supersede the corporation in its mseue
ment, no action having been had by Congress on this
eubJect eince the amended charter by Kentucky. Un
der these circumetancee I would refer the whole 'object
to Congress for such action as they may deem proper.
The annual report of the Director of the mint Is here
with tranamittedamarked 12, 1 as also the monitor the
various Bureaus of the Treasury Department, (marked
from Ato L.) They contain much interesting informa
tion In connexion with their reepective branchee of the
Wile service.
The report of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey
will be laid before Congress at an early day.
