For instance, the war expenses for the quarter ending September 30, 1865, were $165,000,000; out during the quarter ending June 30,1965, they were but $13.* 000. Tbe bu.ance in the Treasury on June i»r 1 was but $858,309 15. The year ending ^December 31, 1865, showed a deficiency iu the Treasury of $619,000,- 000. But six months from the time (June 30, I860), there was an excess of receipts over expenditures of nearly $37,000,000. The estimates of the War Depart ment for expenditures for the coining fiscal year would be nearly $240,000,000 less than for 1865, were it not for the Equalizing Bounty bill, passed at the last session. But the revenue from all sources for the next fiscal* year is estimated by the Secretary in the neighborhood of $GOG,OcO.OOO. The full expenditure for the next fiscal year is estimated within $3511,000,000, iuotuding inteiest on the matured debt, and a fair stun over for a sinking fuud. The Secretary's report will also state that under the law r of Congress the Treasury has withdrawn from circuit ion during the past bix mouths the limit of ten millions of dollars of paper money. The total amount of United States legal lender notes in ciruuhk tion is therefore $386,600,001). .' The most important and gratifying fact of tbe re port will be in the redaction of the public debt. It will be shown that the public debt Inis been reduced during the past twelve months nearly iwo hundred million of dollars 1 The actual figures of the redue tion are $193,637,721. Seven millions of compound interest notes (legal lenders for their face) have been cancelled, and the temporary loans reduced nine millions. The lull amount of currency authorized for national banks has been issued, which, with the United States notes, gives a circulating medium of nearly $700,000,- 000, not including the. fractional currency. Uu the 1st of last November, the total, including the frac tional currency, amounted to $734,218,038 20, aud $95,000,000 of authorized national bank notes re mained unissued. Tho Secretary of the Treasury will not present in this report what may be called strictly a new plan for returning to. specie payments.. He has changed u< BS of the views which he maintained iu his last report and which were enunciated in the Fort Wayne speech. He believes that the Secretary ot the Treasury, should' have power to' control the currency fo Hie extent of being authorized, at his discretion, to sell bonds beai- ing interest not exceeding six percent., and redeem able and payable at such »»erio«is us may be conducive to the interests of the Government, for tho purppf vt retiring ail United States notes. He will ask Congress to authorise a long five per cent, bond, to be exempt from taxatfou. in which to fund the obligations ihai are coon to mature. He will lay great stress on tbe question of urging Congress to adopt at an early day a fixed policy of contraction, which, when adopted, will cause (he business of the country to gravitate to it. so that specie payments may be reached without a great diTtimaUou in the revenues, or a wide-spread financial panic. Hu does not propose to state any definite tithe for the resumption of specie payments, but believes that with a proper system it can be attained with the retirement of over two hundred millions of United States notes. It will be showm (by the figures above given) by the Secretary, that the Government is on the high road ot prosperity in reducing the national debt, and the Treasury will cling to the simple, and experienced policy of liquidating the debt by keeping the national revenue above the national expenditures: To tliib end, a draft of a bill prepared by Mr. Wells, the Spe cial Revenue Commissioner, will be submitted with the report (or at some future day) proposing an equal ization in internal taxation, and a modification ui the existing tarifi. Important reference will also be made to tile raw cotton tax of three cunts per pound, im posed last session. Iu 1867 and 1368. $830,000,000 of 7 3-10 notes fall due. A large amount of tho first series are now being lunded in 5-20 bondsl Improvements iu the national banking system will be suggested and urged. The Shackling of Mr. Davis. The Natchez Courier published what claims to be a correct statement of tbe manner in which Mr. Davis was ironed at Fortress Monroe. It is said to be verified by Mr. Davis himself and by an. officer of the day, and differs essentially from the account published iu Craven's '‘Prison Life of Jeffer son Davis," which Caused such general indignation. The following is tho statement referred to: On the 23d of May, 1865, the officer of the day. Cap tain J. Titiow, of the Third Pennsylvania Artillery, came into his prison with two blacksmiths, bearing a pair of heavy leg irons, coupled together by a ponder ous chain. Captain Title w, in a manner Jolly sus taining his words, in ormed him that, with great per sonal reluctauce, he came to execute an prder to put irons upon him. •- Mr. Davis asked whether General Miles had given that order, and on being answered In the affirm* ive, said he wished to see General Miles. Captain 'iiTow replied that ho had just left General Miles, Who was leaving the Fort. Mr. Davis then asked that the execution of the order should be execution of the order should be postponed until General Miles returned. Captain Titlow said that his orders would not permit that, and that to an old sol dier it was ncouh ss «o say that an officer was bound to execute an order as it was given to him. Mr. Davis told him that it was too obvious that tittre could be no necessity for the use of XdCh means to render his imprisonment secure; and on Captain Tit- low’s repeating that bis duty was to execute his or dered Mr. Davis said it was not such an order -a# a soldi#: could give, or should receive, and he would not submit to it; that it was evidently the intention to torturohim to death; that he would Jieyirtamely be subjected to indignities by which it was sought in bis person to degrade tho cause of which fie was 4 representative. The officer of the day, with evident kind feeling, endeavored to dissuade him from resistance. The officer of tbe guard came in from the front room with the officer of the day, io induce him ta yield. It was needless to show what was very apparent, that re sistance could not be successful, and Mr. jteviV an swer was that lie was “a soldier and a gentleman, that he knew how to die," aud pointing to the sentinel who stood ready, said, '*lot your men shoot me at once." He f iced round with his book to the wall, and stood silently waiting. His quiet manner led the officer to suppose that no resistance would be made, and therefore the blacksmiths were directed to do their work. As one of them stooped down to put on the fetters, Mr. Davis slung him off so violently as to throw him on tbe floor; he recovered and raised his hammer to strike, but the officer of the day stopped him; simultaneously one of the sentinels cocked and lowered his musket, advancing on the prisoner, who had turned to encounter this assailant, ana thus did not see the purpose of the blacksmith. Titlow saw the new danger, and promptly Interposed, telling the sentinels that they were not to fire, and ordered the officer of the guard to bring in four of the strongest men of the guard without firearms, for the purpose of overcoming by muscular strength the re sistance which w*s threatened. Mr. Davis had no thing with which to defend himself, even his pen knife having been previously taken from him. The contest was brief, aud ended in his being thrown down, four men being on his body fend bead. He couid not see the blacksmiths wfiapi they mm* to put on the irons, but feeling on* of them, h4 him off from him againat th* wall* Tbe~smL_ covered, and with the aid which the other men could give him, succeeded in the second attempt to rivet one fetter, and secure the padlock whicl other. Mr. Davis scornfully asked, his a the? "called” themselves "soldiers," sad said, "the shame is yours, not mine." The olfied being effected, the officer of the day withdrew the men he bad brought : in. The prisoner lay down on. the cot, covered his ironed limbs with tbo blanket, and felt* only more in tense contempt for the brutalitywwjgb 'Which bo.was BITTERS treated than when, a few mlhutSl bsforft, ho ; nounced his belief that lib sro Dte tortured to death, and defied the power which attempted to degrade him.
