State OF the Public Debt

We are indebted to the Hon. Hugh
McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury,
for statement of the condition of the
public indebtedness on the 3lst Of Octo-
Der, which shows further decrease of
81 ,O92, 1867, in the national Ii abilities
since the close of September. The total
debt on Tuesday last was 81, TAO, 854, 759,
as against $2,744. 947, 726 a month ago,
and $2,757,689,57l on the 3lst of Au-
gust--showing clear reduction of $l6,-
834,812 within the last two months or at
the rate of SOL, 00S,872 a year. The.
debt on the 31st of October stood as fol.
lows: Coin-bearing, 81, 16l, 137. 692, and
currency bearing, 81 ,l9l, 8l9,787; the
annual interest charge on which is given
at ST., $40, 34l in coin, and 81 ,267, 1888
in lawful money; making the total of
the yearly interest, $I38, 938, 079. In
the coin-bearing portion of the debt, an
increase is discernable, and in the cur
rency interest portion, corresponding
contraction, traceable to the recent
funding of compound interest notes into
FIVE. twenty gold bearing bonds.
The cash balance remaining to the
credit of the Treasury in the various de-
positories of the public moneys at the
close of October, is given at sos, 1885,
$40, including $34,554,987 in COIN.
(equal, with gold at l45, to $50, 4,725
in currency, and $33,800,592 in lawful
money!
The outstanding legaltender issues of
the Government at the beginning of the
current week amounted to $633, 9,58l,
as against 1919, 126, $40 at the close of
the preceding month, showing reduc-
ton of nearly forty-four and half mills
lion dollars in this important item, with
in the past four weeks, or at the rate of
eleven million dollars a week. Alto

Important Revenue DecisfOn...Cabi.
F0 net Makers Interested.

The following letter has been address,
ed by Commissioner Rollins, to an AS
SCISSOR of Internal Revenue:
aas TREASURY DEPARTMENT.,
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
s1 WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 1865.
SIR: Your letter of October 26th,
with one Enclosure in relation to furni-
ture, has been received.
In answer, l have to say that the
manufacturer IS liable to a duty of 6 per
cent. on the entire value of all fur niture
(including mattresses, feather bedding,
bureaus, tables, washstands, chairs, etc }
he makes, when the same is sold, or re-
moved for sale, use or delivery.
+ When he buys articles. on which the
duty has been paid, and more complete
ly finishes them for use or sale, by up
holstering, painting, vanishing, oiling,
etc, he is liable to duty of six per
cent. on the increased value only thereof.
No deduction can be allowed on the
sale of marble-top furniture for the cost
of the marble tops, though the duty may
have been paid thereon. aisTy
r., When a piece of carving, becomes a
part OF an aTtlcl0 OF furniture on which
no duty has been paid, its value cannot
be deducted from the value of such arti-
cles of furniture, though the duty may
have been paid on the piece of carving.
The increase of value given an arfi-
Gle by finishing is the price at which it
is sold; less the cost of the original arti.
Gle b5fore finishing.
For example: A cabinet maker buys
bureau, on which the duty has been
paid, for twenty dollars, paints, yaruishes
or more completely finishes it, and sells
it for thirty dollars. The increased val
re of this bureau is ten dollars. 70
When a manufacturer buys an article
on which the duty has been paid, and
sells them in the same condition they
were in when bought, he is not required
to return them as manufactures, but
when such sales exceed one thousand
dollars per annum he is liable to deal
er's license.
I believe all the questions raised in.
the letters inclosed by yours are answer
ed above. Very Respectfully,
e A. Rollins, Com'r.

The Cairo people are exercising
themselves, just now, when not occupied
with the chills and fever, in agitating
the propriety of reviving and building
the Illinois Southern Railroad. They
are chattering about the enterprise Wig
orously, but we anticipate that, for some
time yet, nothing will be accomplished
beyond good deal of miscellaneous
talking. We trust, however, that the
enterprise may go through, for Evans
vile would like to tap the contemplated
road very much. 81

Soldiers Home.

The Indianapolis Journal having re-
commended that application be made to
the General Government to turn over the
hospitals at Jacksonville, Indiana, to
the State authorities, and that they be
fitted up for Soldiers Home, the Mad
ison Courier endorses the recommends
ton, and says that was the plan it al
ways favored. 1t thinks the Journal is
beginning to see the impracticability of
establishing the kind of a Soldiers
Home advocated by the leading citizens
of the capital short time ago. The
Courier declares, further, that, had the
same persons who lsbored in behalf of
individual donations for the purchase of
grounds, buildings, and SO forth, devot-
ed but one-half their labor for the DINA
ton by the Government Ct some of its
hospitals for Soldiers and Seamens
Home, that they did fer their Utopian
enterprise, some of them would now be
in possession of the State for that pur-
pose. The General Government prompt
" turned over to the State of Ohio, the
hospital situated near Columbus, upon
the application of the lamented Cover
nor Brough. Could not the Governor of
Indiana have done as much for his
State2"
We rather agree with the Courier that
the zeal of our friends at the capital so
largely outran their discretion that it
soon got ont of breath.

THURsDAY............NOvEMBER Q.
Our Enlargement.

Our Enlargement.
We present our readers, this morning,
with the JOURNAL in an enlarged form.
For some weeks past our advertisements
have gradually curtailed the reading
matter in our paper, until we found it
impossible to publish our usual variety
Of editoriA, local, news, and miscella-
neous reading, and at the same time &C.
commodate all who manifested desire
to advertise with us. We think our
paper is now of size that will secure
both there results.
We cannot but feel just prid e in the
JOURNAL in its present dimensions, not
alone because it is an evidence of the
kindness and favor our humble efforts
have met with at the hands Of liberal
people, but also because it is nantes
tation of the rapid growth and prosperi
ty of our city. Several years have made
an astonishing change in Evansville. To
those who have lived here during that
time, the cten-e is not so perceptible,
because. while it has been rapid, it has
also been gradual. But strangers who
saw our city then and look upon it now
would not recognize it as the same
place. Just now, too, the changes in
our business and manufacturing inter.
ests are marked and fattering. The
rush from, other cities is marvellous, and
the demand for business rooms and
residences is most Rstonishing--far be-
yond the supply. While but two other
papers in our State-one at the capital
and the other at Lafayette-are as large
as the JOURNAL, a marked difference
between them and our paper is observ-
able, in that their advertising columns
are largely occupied with advertisements
foreign to the localities in which they
are published, while our patronage is
almost exclusively home trade.
From the first we have persistently
refused to canvass other cities for adver-
tisements, believing that By combining
our entire attention to advocating the
interests of our merchants and manu-
facturers, and seeking to draw trade TO
them, instead of directing it to other
and rival cities, we should ultimately
build up ourselves more successfully
than if we pursued an opposite policy.
eur expecta' ions have not been disap-
pointed. That our confidence in the
growth of the business of the city, and
the liberality of our merchants and man
ufacturers, has not been misplaced, is
evident in glancing over our columns.
In conclusion, while returning our
hearty thanks for past favors, We pledge
our undivided efforts to still further en-
nance the interests of our commerce
and manufactures. So long as we are
sustained as we have been, we are re-
solved that the JOURNAL shall be faith.
full sentinel on the Walls, jealous of the
encroachments of rival cities, sounding
the alarm at the appearance of any and
every project antagonistic to our inter
ests, and encouraging by cheering words
every public or private enterprise that
promises to add to the growth and pros.
perity of our city. In these endeavors
we solicit the hearty cooperation of our
people.
