THE TREASURY.
The following opinions from the finan
cial columns of a leading Western pa
per are those generally entertained in this
locality. All agree that the administration
lias made good its pledges to reduce the
public debt, lessen taxation, and promote
economy, but they also think that the debt
is now being reduced at the expense of
the general interest faster than is necessa
ry. The following is front the Chicago
Advance a religions paper:
The first and most obvious inference to be
drawn front the present state of the treasury
is that President Grant has abundantly made
good his inaugural pledge to collect the rev
enues fully, and disburse them honestly.
The efficiency and general iutegrity of the
present revenue service cannot lie doubted,
and the unwavering determination of the
President. Secretary Houtwell and Commis
sioner Delano, to prevent shirking among tax
payers and thieving among tax-collectors is
conspicuous—to some unpleasantly so. With :
precisely the same or less taxation, and with i
general business no whit more prosperous, ]
the revenue receipts in Grant’s first year ex- ;
need those of Johnson's last by nearly sixty
millions, and expenses fall far below.
While we undeniably have an honest and
energetic administration, another thing is
made cleafby our marvelous monthly treas
ury statements, namely, that our Congress, if
not rigidly economical in all tilings, at least
nobly lbrbears to increase expenditures in the
same ratio that receipts augment. A stand-1
ing, ami a valid argument against alargerev- !
enue surplus above the current need* of the j
government, is that it lurnishes an irresistible ,
temptation to extravagant legislation and leg-!
illative corruption, but it is only fair to say ]
that the present Congress, with an annual j
unappropriated surplus of more than one bun- I
dred million dollars at its disposal, lias stead
ily and materially reduced Instead of inereas- j
ing the expenses of the government, even
cutting down the estimates of heads of de
partments, who are themselves regarded as
rigid economists. We consider this a fact of i
great significance and great hopefulness, j
Frequently us we find it necessary to criticise
Congress, we take pleasure in doing it jus
tice here. If it blunders it does not deliber
ately waste.
From these hopeful aspects of the situation
we are forced to turn to the unpleasant side
and to assure Mr. Houtwell, in all friendli
ness, that the country cannot afford the lux
ury of las monthly balances. They cost too
much for the good they do. They take the
life-blood from the veins of business to make
tha-treasury look ruddy-faced. Two-thirds
of the piesent overgrown monthly surplus,
if left in the hands of tax-payers and in the
channels of trade, would often make just the
difference between comfort and hardship,
ease and embarrassment, business activity
and business depression. The holders of
our unmatured bonds do not want their mon
ey, and the canceling of one hundred millions
of our debt each year will not help our credit
abroad half as much as the basis of that cred
it—national prosperity—will he injured by
the present weight of taxation.
The Treasury Department lias issued
another warning circular relating to Can
adian in-shore fisheries. It gives the treaty
stipulations and the recent action of the
Canadian Government, calling attention to
the fact that the warning formerly given is
now dispensed with, and that vessels tres
passing are liable to seizure without such
warning. A steamer with sailing vessels
now forms a marine branch of the Can
adian police to enforce these fishing laws.
It is understood that, by a change of boun
daries between Canadia and Labrador, the
Canadian territory now includes Mount
Joby and a portion of shore to the east
thereof, which in the treaty of 1818 was
described as tlie southern coast of Labra
dor. This municipal qhange of boundary
does not, however, iuterlero with the rights
of American fishermen as defined by the
treaty on that portion of what was the
southern coast of Labrador, east of Mount
Joby.
The Venezuelan Dictator, Gcrzman
lllauco, intends to make himself felt. The
Holland Minister has demanded his pass
ports from Hlancoon account of the seizure
of a Dutch steamer, and American mer
chants arc iu trouble by an order of the
same functionary closing certain Venezu
elan ports.
The Somerset Reporter in an article
upon the re-nomination of Mr. lliaine
says:
No man in the Republican party ban been
*o conspicuous a mark for the opposition press
and none has been so violently assailed; yet
the unmistakable voice of the sturdy republi
cans of the district is almost unanimous for
the re-nomination of a mail who has done sig
nal service to bis district, the country and
Id' party.
NARROW ESCAPE.
The escape of three mechanics from going
over l’assaic Falls, on Thursday, was almost
a miracle. Their names were Thomas
dowdy. Richard Coyle, and John Carter;
the two first named being heads of families.
They hired a boat of one Thomas Mallowship
and pushed out into the river, but fifteen or
twenty feet above the high dam of the Society
of Useful Manufactures, situated some dis
tance above the Great Falls. Above this
dam the water is deep and smooth; below,
and to the cataract, the stream is broken and
kept boiling by ragged rocks, until within a
few feet of the main plunge, where the surg
ings rest for a moment as if for gathering of
strength for the final leap.
Rut even above the dam the current was
too strong for the unskilled arms of the three
mechanics, and the boat drifted rapidly to
ward the dam. dowdy, who could not swim,
screamed in terror that they would be
drowned, and at the instance of his compan
ions jumped overboard and succeeded in pull- ,
ing himself along the dam until he safely
reached the shore. The other two, however, \
Coyle and Carter, remained in the boat, and
clinging to it went over the society dam,
! which at this point is eight or ten feet high.
In going over the boat capsized. Luckily the ;
boat went over on the north side, opposite ;
from the great fall. Some one on the bank
called for them to leave the boat and swim
for the shore. Carter obeyed and arrived to
land safely, although thoroughly exhausted in
his battle with the fierce current. Coyle, how
ever, clung to the boat, which was fast float- !
ing toward the cataract, turning over and
over as it went, making it a very difficult task
for the unfortunate man to retain hiwhold. |
On one occasion, as the boat rolled over,
Coyle went under it, and all who witnessed
his struggles thought he was gone; but in an
instant he was up again and had hold of his j
risky life preserver. As he neared the fatal
precipiee he apparently gave up in despair,
and ceased his efforts to save himself, and the
unfortunate man would undoubtedly have
been lost had not some one from the bank ,
cried for him to keep up his exertions. He
did so, and by a superhuman effort succeeded
in heading the boat for the shore, managing
to reach the Water Company’s pump house,
and catching a rope thrown to him just an in
stant before he would have been dashed over
J the precipice, seventy feet in height, with six
j tv feet of water at the bottom. So tenaciously
[ did he retain his hold of the boat that had
saved his life that he did not let it go even
after he caught hold of the rope thrown him,
and the little craft was also saved. He was
hauled upon the shore, and fell to the ground
prostrated with his exertions. Not a whole :
garment remained on his person, all having ,
been torn in his battle with the current and by
coming in contact with the sharp points of the
rocks.
POLITICAL.
The Lacon (111.,) Statesman comes out for
Hon. John T. Hoffman of New York, for
President, and Mr. Samuel F. Cary, of Ohio,
for Vice President, in 1875. The Springfield
(111.) Register thinks “this is a good ways
ahead.”
The Cincinnati Chronicle predicts that the
Ohio Democracy will name Senator Thurman
ns their preference for the Presidential race
in 1872.
Only three Illinois papers oppose the adop
tion of the new constitution, and two of these
base their opposition on the recognition of the
fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
A Texas pnper asserts that the bitterest
Radical in the Legislature of that State is an
ex-Confederate general, who went to Brazil
at the close of the war because he would not
live under the hated government of the Yan
kees. He is wiser now than he was at the
close of the war.
The Wisconsin State Temperance Society
held its annual meeting in Milwaukee on
Tuesday, and voted to hold a mass convention
in the same city on the 8th of September, to
I consider the advisability of organizing a tem
perance political party.
j The Union League Club of New York has
! pronounced officially against the income tax.
The Legislature of Michigan has been called
together in extra session in consequence of
the recent decision of the Supreme Court of
that State, pronouncing town and county sub
scriptions to railroads unconstitutional.
A CHINESE COLONY IN. MASSA
CHUSETTS.
A colony of Chinese has been brought
from California anil settled at North
Adams, Massachusetts. The Crispins
; have made some opposition to this arrange
ment, as the new comers are intended for
1 the shoe manufactories. A correspondent
j of the Boston Advertiser at that place
i wrote on Wednesday :
“The Chinese shoemakers have had another
holiday to-day, time being found necessary
to complete the preparation of their quarters,
and tor rest from the fatiguing journey. They
have been busy in many ways, some washing out
clothes, some learning the Knglish language,
some studying arithmetic in the calculating
machines they have brought with them. One
rapid learner, who did not know a single
I letter yesterday, has mastered the alphabet
perfectly. The Chinese foreman has visited
the stores witli Mr. Sampson’s foreman, made
many purchases of dishes, shirts, &t\, has
not been molested by the Crispins, and has
| been very heartily welcomed to town by
many citizens. The instructor- engaged by
Mr. Sampson to teach the new hands, a veter
an shoe manufacturer from Springfield, has
arrived, and proposes to begin his task to
morrow. lie had been in town but a few
hours when he was accosted by strangers,
one after another, and warned with various
significant hints that it would be well for him
to desist, and was told that more money i
might be made by going home. He is a man
of some obstinacy, however, and not likely i
to be either frightened or bribed away. Other- |
wise the Crispins have not made any demands, j
and are not likely to make any at present, i
There are some citizens of the town, not ,
Crispins, who think they see cause for alarm
in the introduction of ‘slavery,’ as they call j
them, fearing a decrease of trade by the !
Chinese habits of cheap living, hut the better j
class of residents unanimously approve Mr. j
Sampson’s movement as made necessary by j
the outrageous conduct of the Crispins, and
express confidence that they will give no :
trouble if well treated, but harmonize with
New England communities.”
A Pesth journal say* the Poise intends j
to make a compromise on the question of |
Infallibility, which he hopes will receive
the unanimous sup|>ort of the Council.
THE SAGUESAY FIRE.
An official enquiry 1ms been made into the i
results of the great Saguenay fire which re-!
veals facts of a distressing character.
In his report the Commissioner thus des
cribes the scenes he witnessed : I everywhere
found the most complete ruin and desolation.
Animals, honset, /enecs, growing crops, j
forests, all, had well nigh wholly,disappeared.
Seven persons perished in the flames, and a
great nunider of others were seriously in
jured. The great proportion of those who j
escaped death did so only by flying to wells,
cellars and deep holes in the earth, or by j
taking refuge in their boats and pushing into |
the streams. Upon the road I encountered
the destitute families of the unfortunate
colonists, some of them half naked, and all
of them waiting in anxiety the arrival of food !
and succor. In one under ground chamber
which I visited four men had taken refuge
and were burned to death. Their ashes were
afterward gathered together. On the way I
was continually stopped and begged to visit
the sick and the woupded, and I complied in
each ease, giving them all the consolation in
my power, and promising them the most
prompt aid possible. The reports published
in the newspapers, far front being exaggerat
ed. came, in my view, short of the reality.
The extent of country ravaged by the fire
commences at the Kiver Mistassini, at the
head of Lake St. John, ns far as Ha! Ha!
Bay, a distance of 25 leagues (75 miles). In
this district the number of families who have
lost everything and arc ruined is 555. Two
churches were burned to the ground, as well
as several mills. In the parish of St. Jerome,
on a road built up on the east side for a dis
tance of not less than nine miles, only two j
ovens were found standing. Next follows an
account of the distribution of supplies, anil
the Commissioner continues : 1 am unable to
restrain the expression of my admiration with
regard to the conduct of the clergy and the
other citizens of the ravaged localities, their
zeal and readines to help being apparently
without limit. The more fortunate have
freely shared with their destitute brethren all
their linen, grain, provisions, and money.
Many poor people must of neccessity have
died of hunger had it not been fur the charity
of the people belonging to llcrbertville nnd
Chicoutimi.
WASHING TOS SEWS.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT OAXACA.
The terrible earthquake at 'Oaxaca,
which nearly destroyed tl;at city, is fully
described in letters lately received, and
published. One account says:
•• About half-past eleven I*. M., several
hard shocks were felt, causing destruction
of life and property all over the city. The ,
motion was oscillating at first from south
to north, then vertical or trembling. The
shocks lasted about fifty-eight seconds, and in
force, destruction and severity surpassed any
thing of the kind that has ever taken place in
this State. Oaxaca is probably one of the
strongest, most firmly constructed cities in
Mexico; yet the condition of the houses since
the earthquake is truly deplorable—some of
them in complete ruins. The palace is al
most destroyed, and will require thousands of
dollars before it can he made suitable for oc- ;
cupation. San Francisco is one mass of ru- i
ins. and the whole of the corridors of the old j
convent ot San .Juan de Dios fell, burying four j
persons and wounding many more. The clock |
tower, which was only finished on the 5th of
May, was shaken down, passing through the
top of the building into the Supreme Court
rooms, and through the floors of these into
the portals of the palace. The total number
of persons killed is about one hundred, while
it is impossible to ascertain the number
of the wounded. The shocks continued the
next day (Thursday.) and about a quarter to
one a very severe one was felt. Friday there
were one or two very slight shocks. Terror j
reigns supreme, and upon the countenance of
every one anxiety and fear of greater evil are
plainly depicted. All remained in the public
squares and outside of the city for fear that
greater shocks would come, and, on account
of its dilapidated condition, would make a
complete ruin of the entire city.”
