Dericrt mx rae Post Orrick APPRorRia- TION.—The Opposition press is grossly unjust to the memories of the late Postmaster General and Third Assistant Postmaster General eg iency. It alleges, first, that the exhibit of faire recently Scared at the instance of the President, shows a defivit fer the current fiscal yeur of fully $6,000,000, instead of-$3,682.127, as computed in the last annual Report of the Postmaster General. This statement is then The Union notices the Tammany Hall Cuba made the ground for allegations of ‘culpabie meeting in New York, and begs leave to dis- agree with Senator Brown, in asserting that we ‘want Cuba for the purpose of extending sla- very. The Union alleges that the real objects of the Opposition in defeating the Post Office bill, were to bring about an extra session before the southern elections, so as to elect Grow Speaker ; and to retain the franking privilege, so as to be able to send tons of electioneering documents over the country during the next presidential campaign. The Jntelligencer publishes and comments favorably upon two letters, one from the Hon. Wm. A. Graham, of North Carolina, and the other from the Hon. D. D. Barnard, of New York, both on the current polities of the day. ———_ +20 0” The typhoid fever is raging to an alarming extent in Pocahontas county, Va. pe occ See {> Im Virginia the canvass between Mr. ignorance or criminal suppression of facts’’ against those who recently managed the De- partment’s finances, both of whom being dead. cannot repel such baseless slanders. It is, however, fortunate that they were so | methodical, and that so carefully arranged was | the public business devolving upon them, that their successors have found very little difficulty in fully comprehending everything. Hence, the data for a complete refutation of these charges is easily obtained. Thus, on page 20 of his last annual report, the Postmaster General reeapitulates the ex- penditures and means of the Department for the current year ending June 30, 1859. His original estimates had been submitted on the 24th of March, 1858, prior to the lettings of new | contracts for the term commencing Ist of July last, which embraced the entire transportation of the mails in twenty-one States and Territo- ries of the west and southwest.

Shegave her name as Mary Bobbs, and said that she be- Jonged to Philadelphia. In her possession was found a satchel, which contained school books. On the leaves of one of them was inscribed “Sarah Shultz, Secondary Class." The lost one further stated that her father and mother was dead: .that she had been living with a Mrs. Helms, on Catha- rine street. near Moyamensing Prison; and that her passage to Baltimore was paid by the Rev. Mr. Smiley, a methodist minister, whose church is in | Green street. 17 In the Stephéns wife poisoning case. in New York, yesterday, Mrs. Hanna, the prisoner's aister, was examined at great length. and contra- dicted the witnesses for the prosecution in important points regarding the last hours of the deceased. Mrs. Isabella Beunett, danglter of Mrs. Hanna also contradicted, to a considerable extent the wit- nesses for the prosecution. She further testitled | that on one occasion she bid under the bed, and on another slept with her uncle and his dauyhter | Bella, while Wm.

The Governor, in hi etter to the sheriff on the subject. says that he has been | actuated in the matter by the earnest solicitation of the spiritual advisers and parents of the prisoners, | who represent them as being entirely unprepared, and beg that further tine may be granted them to prepare for their doom. Me also desires the sheriff Jo make known to these unfortunate men that this Of time is allowed them for the purpose | ing them to prepare to meet their solemn fate, und that all hope and expectation of further Executive clemency must be entirely banished from their minds. ‘Shortly after seven o'clock last evening Sheriff Creamer visited the jail with the respite. and, in company with Captain James, the warden, and several gentlemen who accompanied bim, entered M.

For instance, the several items of this estimate are as fulluws : ‘8 books on the Ist of 60-313 y 5 ding foreign postages, fees paid in by lettst-carriera. and np lacelldneous re- ceipts..... oa sesiexbiccende! TIE GOO Appropriations by et of Congress of 1597, 1851, and ‘185s, applicable to the expenses of 1859.............. seeeeee es 2.700000 The aggregate of the estimated means is found to be $11,094,395, while that of the ex- penditures amounts to $14.77 ). leaving an estimated deficit, as above stated, of $3,682,127. The sum of $608,513 given in the above quoted estimate, is there regarded az available means, but that is not really the case. It embraces $134,591.44 due by late postmasters whose ac- counts are in litigation, and $211,867.95 in the hands of late postmasters, whose accounts are in process of settlement. The residue, L.- 953.60, is the aggregate of balances in the hands | of acting posimasters throughout the country. It is easy to understand that there can be no certain prediction as to what portion of these sums will be collected so as to be available for the expenses of the current year ; and as it has been found impossible to collect all the revenue from postmasters promptly on the expiration of each quarter, because of the changes oceur- ring constantly in the incumbency of those po- sitions to the extent of upwards of seven thou- sand annually, the aggregate balance on the books of the auditor at the close of the year, will not probably essentially differ from the sum above given. As old debts are paid up, new ones will be contracted, thus keeping up a constant floating debt in favor of the Depart- ment from year to year. Itis obviously unfair. therefore, to include that aggregate balance, $608,313, in the available means of the Depart- ment. Again, it is palpable that the gross revenues of the Department for the current year, estima- ted above at $7,786,080, could only be approxi- mately ascertained when the estimates were prepared, in March last, or when the last an- nual report was compiled. This estimate is founded on the operations of the preceding year, to which four per cent. was added for increase. The actual auditing of the first quarter's receipts, however, demonstrates that the revenue was, in that time, really $24,545.91 less than of a corresponding period of the pre- vious year, instead of being four per cent. greater. If we take the operations of that or those of the entire a we ascertain the gross receipts to be 98,183.64 less than those of the preceding year. To this we must add the sum of the four per centum addition made in the esti- mate, $299,471.71, and we will have as the result, $397,655.35, being the amount in which the actual receipts will fall short of the esti- Subtracting this from the estimated amount. we hay Estimated gross reve Actual diminution As the actual revenue is less than the mate, the actual deficit will be ag much greater than the estimated deficit, thus : Estimated defic ++ 33.692,1 Ditninution in receip 397,055 Actual deficit................26. 81,079,782 35 25 Again, as we have stated above, the balance on the Auditor’s book, $608,313, will not prob- ably be an available fand, and it should not. _ therefore, be embraced in the statement of | means at the command of the Department. By withdrawing it, we increase the deficit to $4,688,095.35, or to the extent of $1,005.968.25. The Postmaster General could not haye been aware of any fulling off in the revenue for the eurrent year when his report was compiled. on the 4th of December last, because the accounts for the first quarter, that ending September 30, 1598, were not entered until the 30th of of January last, under a regulation of the De- partment specifying that time. Indeed, it ean hardly be expected that twenty-nine thousand | Postmasters’ returns, embracing those from the innumerable large c’ n this country, could well be examined, audited, and entered on the hooks of the Department at an earlier day. We have shown conclusively the falsity of the accusations made by the Opposition press against the late financial officers of the Post Office Department, and we may add that the deficit we have given above is believed to be greater by some $200,000 than that shown in the exhibit prepared for the President; ines- much as that is understood to set forth those portions of the balance on the Auditor's books collected within the year, a matter not acces- sible to us. That will probably be neutralized, however, by new balances in postmasters’ out- standing accounts at the close of the year. Fixing the deficit at $6,000,000 is the work of the Opposition press, and not of the exhibit. pe BS [comMUNICATED. Lievt.-Atuy.—The New York Times says: When the steamer Fulton reached Montevideo, it was discovered that she Lad her big gun, but that the funcarriage had been left at Norfolk. Lieut. Al ny commanding, was one of the wil- nesses called to establish Capt. Latimer’s inefi- ciency.” This would imply ross negligence on the part of Lieut. Almy; whereas the truth is that neither the gun or the carriage went out in the Fulton, nor were they intended to be, as the Bureau thought it unadvisable to put so much weight in so small a vessel, going on such a voyage. The gun and carriage were sent out in other vessels, and have reached their desti. pation, : the President in council this morning at a much earlier hour than usual. The thus calling them together is understood to be that of the propriety of calling an cxtra session of Congress. When the Str went to press, it was not known what, in that connection, had been determined on.
