THE GOVERNMENT FINANCES —The re- ceipts of the government for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were $225,201.819. The expenditures r2,223,~ ‘These are exclusive of transactions con- tin the matter of re- sption of bonds, -. Which do not alter account. The customs ree ts for ten nths and a half ending May were S14,742.108.

It ted that 322,000,000 will yet be received from eustoms befo.e July ist, and from this and gold on ‘hand must come the payment of €25,600,060 tor July interest. It is evident that the sinking fund payments will create a deficit and Uuow some of the ‘Treasury warrants into the next fiscal year, but the Secretary of the Treasury, with such an abundant supply ot coin on hand, may sell gold and reafize currency enough to make a clean sheet at the end of the fiseal year, A deficit in the Treasury does not mean bankruptey. It only means paying out more money than is received, being prac- tically an error in the original estimates. FORGERY OF THE PRESIDE: THE PAPERS OF AN APPL! GOVERNMENT CLERKSHIP.--A_ peculiar ease, which illustrates the questionable means sometimes resorted to to secure ap- vointments to subordinate positions uader he government was brought to the attention of Gen. Cowen, acting Secretary of the In- terlor, by Commissioner Atkinson, of the pension bureau, today. Several months ugoa clerk in the pension bureau was dis- charged, and since that time has been per- sistentin his endeavors to secure reinstate- ment. In November last he secured a simple reference of his case by the President to fhe Secretary of the Interior, but this net be! ag in the nature of a recommendation, Gen. Ba- ker declined to reinstate him. When Com- tuissioner Atkinson assumed his duties the same party called up his papers and asked that his case be favorably considered. He was informed by Commissioner Atkinson tbat he could not be reinstated except the President made adirect request to that ef- fect. in whieh ease he would do the best he could for him. A few days since the appli- cant returned with his application in- dorsed ‘Referred to (the Secretary of recommending Mr. ‘s . U.S. Grant.” The commis- sioner having reason to suspect the genuine- ness of the indorsement wrote to the Presi- dent in regard to it, and to-day received a communication from Mr. Luckey, assistant private secretary, saying that the tndorse- ment wasa forgery. This Sey cem the ap- plicant again appeared at the Pension Office, when the commissioner escorted him to the office of General Cowen, before whom he laid all the facts.

The run to Pine: Potnt was made in a little over six hours, in- | cluding stoppages, and then, giving Point Lookout the go by, we headed out into the bay to intercept and measure speed with the | bay line steamer from Baltimore for Nor- | folk. At about half past ten her lights were | made out and the two boats rapidly neared ach other. But the Georgiana finding out the eraft she bad to contend with, showed no disposition for arace. We *<iowed down to give her a start, and then, as though weary of lagging in such company, the M ly made a sudden and swift rasl Georgiana was soon left far behind.

He keeps his boat shipshape and neat asa pin | from stem to stern, and yet finds time to make himself agreeable to his passengers. I don’t thi there was much sleeping done on the Mosely last Monday night, for with a race in prospect noone cared to goto bed; and while it was after midnight when we | parted company with the Georgiana, three hours later we made a landing at Fortress Monroe. A dense fog prevailed at that time, {nd from the Fort to Norfolk we steamed slowly and kept the whistle blowing. How strangely the vessels at anchor or drifting slowiy with the tide loomed up through the mist Which hung low over the water. At first only the topmasts were seen above the fog. Then the whole vessel would come into tight for & moment, but only to vanish quickly like a breath’ upon a mirror. A few minutes after 4 a. m. the Mosely was moored to her wi Norfolk. As the sun rose it gradually overcome the fog and revealed the town and its surrounding. A LAZIER LOOKING or more dilapidated place it would be bard tind t Norfolk is the third cotton t this country, and has a large and co! iness in other lines. Appe: ances in this case certainly are deceptiv On Mond: however, there was a dearth of fre istch as has not been known for years. The great warehouse on the steamship wharf Was nearly empty and drays and trucks stood idle. It has been charged that reports of injury to the crops in this section by the late severe cold weather were exaggerated and cireulated with a view to advancing the price of garden truck, but these reports are corroborated by the steamship companies who are vetting little or no freight of this kind. Last year at this time strawberries were being shipped, but the Appold has on board only a few boxes of asparagus and carrots and a barrel or two of kale. The truck season must be a short one this year. Although the letter cannot be smug gied into the month of May, Norfolk is yet doing a large oyster business. We have on board a consignmen’ for Portland, Me.,which are simply shoveled into gunny bags and sewed up. In steaming down the harbor left Norfolk at 5 p. m. yesgerday) we saw hundreds of canoes engaged in tering, with here and there a sh taking in @ cargoof the bivalves. these oysters go north. NORFOLK TO BOSTON. Everybody predicted a squall we left Norfolk, and in the bay we did re the wind from ail points of the compass, but when fairly outside the capes it was blowing S.S.E., and all sail was made, and we are still carrying it. The Appold ts sail to be the slowest boat on the line, but she is mak- ing twelve knots now, very comfortably.
