State Treasurer Noyes' annual report shows that the receipts for the year ended November 30th, 1579, were t58,14:i,- 895.1f, and the payments, $6,521),068.10. The revenue has been slightly in excess of the estimates made to the Legislature, and the expenditures somewhat larger than hud been anticipated. The general revenue bill did not increase the revenues and the deficit in the Treasury i> about the same as at the close of the previous | fiscal year, $1,750,000. The State Treasurer expressed the opinion that the revival in business will materially increase the receipts the pres ent year. "Added to this," says Col. Noyes, "will be the saving of some #OOO,- 000 by reason of no session of the Legis lature." It is to be hoped that the future Legislatures will see the importance of keeping the appriuuions within the amount! of the receipts into the Treasury, ami j thus avoid the disgrace of having this old ! commonwealth in a condition of being j unable to pay the legal demands upon it.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will be a more effective agency than ever for telling Uie news best worth knowing, nnu for enforcing sound polities. From the day tiie war closed it has been most anxious for an enu of sectional strife. But it saw two years ago. and was the first ,s i*i eiitly w Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of tin* Solid South and Tammany llali. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union It began by demanding ilu abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever lit candidates tiie majority should put up against tin common foe. Hince then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state bus been won, and the outrun for National victory were never more cheering. TDK TRIBUNE'S POSITION. '-ft The Iribum s share in all this, thos< speak most enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. It will luithiully portray the varning phases of the campaign now beginning. It will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and Public. Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. But in this crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the best that, could possibly be supported by the Holid South and Tammany Hall. The 1 ribune Is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the larytnt circulation among the bent | people. it secured, -and means to retain it by be coming thtt medium of the beat thought and the voice of the beat conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeca discussions, hearing ail sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile, or the preju dices of the ignorant. HI'KOIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives ail the news. It has the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the only paper that maintains a speeial telegraphic wire of its own between its office and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews are the best, its commercial ami tiuanciul tic's is the most exact its type is the largest; and Us ar rangement the most systematic. TllK SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUN is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in lite country, having four times the circulation of any other in New York. It is especially adapted to the large class of intelligent, professional or business readers too lar from New York to depend on our papers lor the daily news, who nevertheless want tiie editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary iniscelluney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and lias the largest circulation of any YVeekly issued from the office of a Daily paper in New York, or, s. far as we know, in the United Miuics. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de purtment is more carefully conducted than ever, and it has always been considered the best. Its market reports are the official standard for tile Dairymen's Association, ami have long been recognized author ity on cattle, eruiu and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremt ly popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in Knitting, crochet ing, and kiudrid subjects; while poetry, lietion and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied.
