Month after month the revenue comes in like a flood tide, and he gets ihe credit for this gratifying state of things and for reducing the national debt with a por- tion of his abundant means. Nor are we dig- posed to say anything to lessen the credit of the Secretary, for he is doing much better than his predecessor, and shows a disposition to take good advice andlearn. Still he coulddo much more in reducing the debt and cutting off the burden of interest the country has to bear. There is no necessity for keeping a hundred millions or more in the Treasury all the time. ‘There is no contingency likely to arise requir- ing more money for the current expenses of the government than will come in from month to month and day to day. If the Treasury were empty to-morrow he would soon have a sur- plus again, for the revenue is enormous and a perpetual stream, while the payments are only at periodical and stated times. If fifty mil- lions were applied to the purchase of the debt that would reduce the interest and be a saving of three millions a year. If a hundred mil- lions were so applied six millions 9 year would be saved. And why not? The money lies . {t will never be wanted for anything else, for, as was said, the incoming revenue will be more than sufficient to meet all future demands. By using the currency on hand ia this way another good effect would be produced in aking money-easy, ‘Trade would be pro- moted and the Wall street gamblers would have less opportunities to lock up and specu late in money. As to holding a large reserve { of gold to keep down the premium, that idea is exploded. It has no such effect. The pre- mium is much more likely to be brought down by gradually disposing of the gold at regular sules, and thus diffusing it through the chan- nels of commerce and the country. With the gradual extinguishment of the debt, and the appreciation of our securities both at home and abroad, gold will naturally go down, and with the increasing population and business of the country there will be a greater demand for currency, and it will become relatively more scarce, In other words, we should grow up to specie payments, Any action on the part of the Treasury Department or Congress, except that of extinguishing the debt as fast as possible, is unnecessary and would only prove disastrous. With regard to reducing the interest on the debt by a process of transforming the securi- ties and funding, the sooner this is done the better. It can be accomplished at less cost to the government and country now than when the bonds rise higher inthe market, We would rather see the debt held at home than abroad, and thereby prevent a vast drain of apecie yearly to pay interest to foreigners ; but if money isso much more valuable here, and the debt will be taken in Europe at four per cent interest, let us make the best bargain we can. By all means let the interest on the dei be reduced by some process or other, At present it is not only an enormous burden upon the people, but it locks up capital that would be employed in trade and in the devel- opment of the resources of the country; for when capitalists can get eight per cent in cur- rency on United States securities without trouble or taxation they will not invest their | money in other things, In every way the present high rate of interest is ruinous, We hope the Secretary of the Treasury may be prepared to submit to Congress next December Canal Picnic. ing of our Pacific Railroad short time ago many tourists Promontory Poiat. The number of era, however, was not so large as the occasion warranted. We may ascribe the lack of numbers to the expense and difficully of reaching the spot and to the lack of accommo- dations there. Another reason, and perhaps the best one of all, is that there were no acknowledged leaders of fashion on the ground. The celebration at Suez in November will at- tract thousands, In the firat place it will mark anew era in commercial history; it will fur- nish a purpose for a delightful trip up the classic Mediterranean; it will be managed by Frenchmen and willbe distinguished by all the lavish magnificence of effect and tho ex- quisite tactin details which have become a feature of Parisian fies of late years; and last, but by no means least, it will be attended by the leading celebrities of the Freach beau monde. The Empress, Princess Metternich, Mme, Musard, aod ia fact the whole imperial court, will camp on thedesert. Our Paria letters already begia to tell us of the silk and satin tents that these distinguished ladies wilt use to shelter them- selves with. It willbe a huge picnic on the most princely scale and in tho most romantic situation; for what can bo more romantic than the grand souvenirs which cluster around that narrow neck of land which united two immense continents? Armies have marched over it time aud again, and a few miles below tradition still points out the spot where Moses led the tribes of Israel through the Red Sea. Traces can stil found on the isthmus of the canal traced ia pre-historic aggs by one of the grand old mouarchs of Egypt; and who can g ou that sandy waste and not think that perchaace it nay become one of the great battle flelds of the world?

Daring this heated term the managors of Central, Hudson and Harlom are co’ thomselves at Saratoga, talking some horse, but maialy bent on recuperation for the fall campaign. Meanwhile their tysty, tried depu- ties are, under instructions, amusing the dear public with a little game which, from its inno- cence, reminds us of the famous bippodrome gotten up some years since to extract a few dollars from the pocksts of lovers of fast time. Many of the readers of the [frravp will call to mind the noted trio—Flora Temple, Ethan Allen and Princess; also how thesa noted nags were trotted around from Long Island to New Orleans, also how the generous public were treated to a sight of them at one dollar per head—cheap enough, no doubt, many said, but often very dear to the unlucky wight who thought loud and bet he could pame the win- ner on any given day. ‘The drivers went for the gate money and lived on greenhorns who bet on reliable information, Look out for the hippodrome, whether in stocks or horses. While this neat Little game is being so nicely played amaller cliques on the street are con- cocting schemes to attract those who have not sufficient margins to embark in such inflated enterprises as are ruled by these railroad kings. These small mon are not intent upon dealing in Erie—that delectable commodity they dare not touch, but look at it as it lies, poor harmless thing, snoozing on its pillow, wilh a species of awe, as it gives no sign of life, save an occasional moan, which seems to say, “Twenty-nine bid, seller, three days.” Neither Michigan Southern, Rock Island nor Reading, for they too are up in the clouds, Still a stray bear-may now and then growl out his sure prediction that a dump is near at hand; but his listeners rec: ll the fact that a new flying machine is on the eve of starting from San Francisco, and will carry an hourly mail from that village to this metropolis ; and the said listeners button up their pockets and at once withdraw from the dangerous bear. No, none of these pampered favorites are now in Europe will certainly be there, for any new route to the East affects us in the highest degree; and in all probability some of our jaunty yachts which will this summer be in European waters will show their dainty hulls in the crowd of war vessels which will repre- sent every flag in the world. Our government should, and probably will, send a large squad- ron there to represent us on an occasion which is of such great importance to our peo- ple and our commerce. All the great Powers will be represented, and the collection of cele- brities will equal, if not surpass, that which was seen at the late Exposition. Many of our countrymen will undoubtedly be there to see and to be seen; the omnipresent Jenkins will be in high feather, and the dresses and doinga will furnish the staple of thousands of news- paper letters, We hear already of excursion parties making up in this city to visit the isthmus and take a short trip to the Holy Land, and then return in the same steamer. We warn the promoters of these enterprises to beware of the example of the Quaker City. That expedition split on Plymouth Rock. It was a large tea party rom Mr. Beecher’s church the whole time, and to the ordinary traveller nothing is so stupid as @ church meeting the whole trip. The few unfortunate outsiders on the Quaker City, those who belonged to the ‘‘world’s people,” had a hard time of it. They were great admirers of Plymouth Church once a week, but before the trip was over they had had altogether too much of it. Let excursionists go as they please, how- ever ; they will never regret it. They will see the finest illuminations, will see the grandest collection of war vessels, will be present ata sete given as only Frenchmen can give one, \ and will aid in swelling the concourse which has met to honor M. Lesseps and bis great work; and he deserves all that they can do for him, for to his skill, his faith and his per- severance we owe one of the great wonders of this most wonderful century—the Suez Canal. Altogether, this will be the grandest picnic that ever was gotten up, The American Philological Associntion. The convention of American phllologists at Poughkeepsie has adopted the report of its Committee on Permanent Organization, recom- mending that the society shall be called “The American Philological Association,” and, an- nouncing as its object the advancement and diffasion of philological knowledge, It 1s to hold an annual meeting in the cityof New York and such special meetings as shall be designat- ed by the Executive Committee. After wast- fog a good deal of time in a rambling and un- profitable discussion of the proper pronuncia- tion of Greek and Latin nearly all the learned college professors present admitted that we do not know how either language was originally pronounced at Athens or at Rome, and, there- fore, sensibly passed the resolution proposed by Dr. Harkness, of Brown University, to post- pone the discussion and to appoint a com- mittee to report on the subject at the next meeting of the convention, Dr, Harkness | read a paper, full of valuable practical sugges- | tious, on “The Most Efficient Method of Instrue- tion in the Classical Languages.” Dr. Taylor, of Phillips Academy, as well ay Professor Magill, of Swathraore College, withont depre- cating the increased attention paid to scientific study, in accordance with the spirit and the urgent necessities of the age, insisted upon the importance of continuing the study of Greek and Latin, but joining with it a moe thor- ough and an earlier study of modern lan- guages, particularly our own, ‘The study of language,” said Professor Magill, ‘‘natn- rally began and properly should begin with the some comprehensive plan for funding and liquidating the debt wnd for reducing the rate of interest.

Early on Wednesday morning last a large party belonging to an east side chowder club passed our office, amid the blowing of trumpets, fish- horns, squeaking fifes and other hideous noises, all bent upon a day’s pleasure at some out of town spot. The same party ined in the evening, just after dark, not sated with the day’s fun, but apparently in a condition to keep up their frolic and din. Scarcely, how- ever, had they passed our office more than a couple of blocks when whiz went a rocket from a wagon in the rear of the proces- sion, which was composed of several vehicles. Being let off without any direc- tion, the rocket took a horizontal course through the City Hall Park at the height of a man’s head, creating dismay among the crowds of people who throng the park at that hour in the evening. Ina moment whiz—phiz—z—z— went another rocket into the editorial sanctum of a contemporary on Printing House square, putting the men of the quill to flight as speedily as if the place had been invaded by an infuriated mob, and no refrigerator handy. Then suddenly came an explosion from the wagon itself. Light at first, but in a moment the whole mass of fire- works and packages of powder exploded, with a frightful roar, creating a terrible consterna- tion all about, and displaying, by the vivid illumination it created, the ghastly forms of several of the moment before joyous party writhing in agony. They were the victims of this extemporaneous pyrotechnic exhibition. This melancholy occurrence was undoubted- ly caused by carelessness of the most criminal character. It demands thorough official in- vestigation, To say nothing of the danger to those in the wagon, that to the passers-by—at that hour to be numbered by the thousand— was most imminent, even if ordinary care had been exercised in firing the rockets, The whole affair was unlawful, and, although so much suffering has been inflicted upon those engaged in it, there is no reason why the ordi- nance agaiust pyrotechnic displays in the pub- lio streets should not be énforced and « proper example made of the guilty parties. The leaders of the club should in some way be held responsible, Party Tue French CaBLe—Naro.gox aNp Guant.—Those are very pretty compliments exchanged on Friday last between the Em- peror Napoleon and President Grant gn the French cable. They lack the charm of the despatches passed through the first Atlantic cable between Queen Victoria ang President Buchanan, when there was © universally esteemed lady and a gallant old bachelor ip the case; but still they are very neat. Napo- leon sends his good wishes to General Grant for himself and for the prosperity of the United States; and the General not only recl- procates these good wishes, but trusts that the liberal policy of the United States may result iu many ocean cables, and ‘‘especially between this country and its earliest ally and friend.” Handsomely done, we say, and Napoleon may well be happy io reflecting upon the wisdom of the seasonable abandonment of his grand Mexican idea, But the Emperor must not for- get ‘‘the liberal policy of the United States,” Mipytont Cry at rng East SiDg—“What's the cne, cully ?” ‘Ka Klux.” A Lusatto Rina.—They have « Lunatic Asylum ring in Ohio, If all the rings in this city Tue Occan Bank Robbory—"Jsht from England, Our European news report of yesteday, telographed through the Atlantic cable, c- tains an item dated in Liverpool which domands the earnest attention of the muni- cipal authorities and people at large. A despatch from Crewe, an important market town, which is termed the “‘railroad depot” of England, states that a man unknown at the moment committed suicide by throwing him- self under the wheels of a passing train, at a distance of about thirty-four miles from the town, in Chestercounty. During tho progress of the inquest quite a number of money secu- tities, of various descriptions, were found on the body, the papers forming part of the pro- ceeds of the robbery lately perpetrated on the Ocean Bank in New York, This mclaucholy event, if treated in » skilful manner by our detectives, may come to be regarded as more than incideutal—may, indeed, be accepted as in some measure providential, Since the Home Office authorities in London came to adopt the “ticket-of-leave” system ag a means of tempo- rarily relieving the engorgement of convicts in , heir state prisons, crime, unusual in character and of the most bold and daring execution, has rapidly increased in the cities of the United States, 1¢ has been more than suspected, and is now very generally believed, that the British ofticials connive at the emigration of these “ticket-of-leave men” in large numbers. It has been asserted, indeed, that they secretly supply them with money to pay their passages, and that hence the emigrant ships are infested aud our shores literally flooded with the most depraved and dangerous off- scourings of this foreign population, in the shape of educated housebreakers, garroters, city “thugs” and “‘knucks,” broken down gamblers and forgers and others who are permitted to exile themselves as a sort of temporary - security for life and property at home. When Inspec- tor Tanner, of Scotland Yard, was here for the arrest of the murderer Max Muller, some years since, it was said that he was able to recognize many members of such classes at different points of the city, who, to say the least, did not appear to care much for a re- newal of their acquaintance with that gentle- man, and our more veteran police officials can corroborate the fact of many like characters having been arrested at different times for crimes perpetrated here, 5 The subject is really serious, as a question affecting public morals and international polity. How did this unhappy wretch come in posses- sion of American property atolen under such audacious circumstances? Did he come over to plan, to direct and aid in the work, or was he merely an English convict financier despair- ing of his inability to negotiate certain papers consigned to him by confederates here? Superintendent Kennedy must look to it. The body of the suicide should be indentified it possible, Mayor Hall, no doubt, will read up the emigration laws. Comprxine Business wita Pieasvre—The summer travelling committees of Congress. The latest announced expedition of this sort is that of the approaching tour of inspection of the great lakes by the House Committee on Naval Affairs. Not to be outdone in these useful Congressional holiday inveatigations, the Committees on Foreign Affairs and on Commerce of both houses should prepare for the voyage in view of an official inspection of the opening of the Suez Canal in November next. Indeed, on that great occasion the executive as well as the legislative depart- ments of the government of the United States should be represented. Why cannot General Grant himself be among the heads of the na- tions that will assemble to assist in the inan- guration of that greatest work of modern times? We should like to know. Goop News a8 Far a8 It Goxs—The news that the Congressional Committee of Ways and Means, after a thorough inspection of the Custom House, naval station, forts, Post Office, &c., at San Francisco and other places, are satisfied with the management of federal affairs on the Pacific coast.
