From The Gl0Is

Treasury NorEs AND THE TREasu-
RY.-Bv the official publication in our pa
per Yesterday, it will he seen that the old
Treasury notes outstanding have been re-
duced to 81. CUB, 266.
On rbe l,t of January last, according to
the Secrelary's statement III this annual
report, they amounted to almost SS,OU0,-
OUU, including interest. II appears Thar
The new emission this year equals So. S27,-
276; and these notes, Of course, are not, by
law, redermable sill another year, except
pam in lor duties andlands. We presume
they will not be earlier redeemed, unless
mutual and convenient arrangements can
be made tor the purpose. No more can
be issued, by the preseu laws, after the
3U,h of June.
II will thus be seen, thai since the Isl Of
January last the Treasury Department. has
met all The large current expenditures, and
adjusted the enormous SUN Of near seven
millions of Treasury notes, almost half of
which must have been redeemed in none (.
This has been done in onlv six months:
and during severe pressure in the money
market; and yet it has hfrn effected SO
quietly thai The public have hardly been
aware of lhe great operation going on; nor
has payment in single instance, that we
have heard of, been accomplished in any
funds or OF any time orplace, moi entirely
convenient to The public creditors, though
without The aid of a National Bank.
