Wasminoron, Dec. 1, 1562. ‘The report for this year oxhibits a very healthy finan- ciai condition of the Post Office Department, and shows it to be thoronghly impregnated with the spirit of improve- ment. The eMcteney of the service has been maintained at the highest point, accompanied by a great diminution of expenditures. The gross revenue of the department for the fiscal year, including the standing Treasury credit for froe mail matter, and @ smal] amount appropriated for the relief of mdividuals, was $9,012,549 56. The ox- penditures for the same year amounted to $11.125,364 13. The regular postal revenue for 1862 is only $49,470 50, lesa than it was for the fiscal year 1861, during a large rt of whieh year revenue was paid in from all the States of the Union. This fact shows a large iucrease in the correspondenc of the loyal States. While the revenues have been #0 nearly sustained at the highest standard, the expenses have been largely reduced. For ihe preveding year the expenditures were $2,481,394 93 grealer than jast year. ‘The following comparisons of figures are inte resting:— Expenditures for 1860 for service in all the States, $14,874,772 89; revenues for the same year , $9,218,067 40. deficiency, $5,656,705 49; expenditures for 1861 (Servic 1861), $13,606,759 11; gress revenues for interrupted in 1861), $9,049,296 40; defi- 4,557 462 71; expenditures for 1 11,125,364 inves for 1862, $9,012,549 a6; defi $2, ion of expenditures as compafed with 1860, 408 Feduotion of expenditures as compared with ‘The department has not been for many years #0 nearly eelf-sustaining. This result is largely owing to the sus- pension of postal expenditures in the ‘South, which were greatly in excess of postal receipts, but notvaloue to that. A revision of all discretionary expeuses has beon made and large reductions ordered. ‘Ihe pay of agents has been regraded aud equalized. Economy has been re-est: in the larger offices, where waste was found. Incompe tency, whenever found in official position, has been re moved, and Mm efort made to adopt a siandard of merit aud of’ alministrative efficiency in lieu of other and infé rior motives for appointment. The Postmaster General expresses his determination to adliere to this course The number of postage stamps issued to postmasters during the year was 7,078,188. The value of letter enve lopes was $735,255 60. ‘The value of stamped newspaper wrappers, $25,048 50g; increase of issue over 1861 $1,148,858 27. | The total value rold was $6,910,131 89, ‘The increasing demand on the part of the public for the stamped newspapers shows tbat their introduction has satisfled a public demand and promoted the conveui ence of cygespondents.
