THE PUBLIC FINANCES.


The statement Of the public debt made by
the secretary of the treasury. on the 1st inst,
is said to be peculiarly encouraging That is
TO say, it shows that about a hundred millions
-of treasury obligations have been discharged
during the third Of the year ending on Oct.
s3fst which is. an average Of twenty five mil
Lions month. Nearly two hundred millions
Of the public debt have been Cancelled within
Ia year, or a monthly average Of sixteen mil
liens and the aggregate debt is now two
hundred and SIX millions below its highest
figure. On the 31st of July, 1865, the debt
amounted to So, 757, ,253. 276; and on the 31st
81 October 1866, to 50, ,553 33l0,0a5 The in
terest bearing debt has decreased by nearly q
hundred and eighty millions in the same time.
At the present time it is 50, ,2l5, ,961, 1882.
In the course of fifteen months the cur
reney interest bearing portion Of the debt has
been reduced S406, 754, 1o5, chiefly in the line
.of short date and embarrassing obligations,
to which the secretary gives most attention,
while the coin-b bearing debt has been increased
1924, s96, 900 mainly by the issue Of The CON
trollabie ive-twenty bonds
In the interest bearing line, the fye-twen-
ties now form SS23, ,944, ,0O0 including $514,-
7e0, 500 Of the original or 1852 issue, $780,

against $3.50, 738, 75o menth ago. These,
with the S171, ,069, $50 of ten-forties, consti-
tute the bulk of the coin-beaging portion of
the debt The three series of the seven
thirty currency loan have been reduced, by
conversions, To 1874, Oh, 300 from $743, $685.
$50 a month ago, or S19,981, $50, making the
total reduetionin in the seyen-t thirty line (mainly
Of the first, on August issue, maturing in nine
inonths,l nearly one hundred and six mill
lions from the aggregate issue Of eight hum
dred and thirty millions through the govern
ment loan agency. Seven millions of
compound interest notes, speedily ma
turing, have been redeemed, within
the month, by conversions, into
into Rye-twentes Of the consolidated form,
leaving the outstanding issue s148, 5l2, 140,
against s165, 512 \ 40 on the 30th Of September
The six per cent. currency bonds issued in aid
Of the various Pacific Railroad ENTERPRISES
have grown to S9882, 600, from IS, 922, ,o60 a
month age. On the 1st Of October there NE
manned in the treasury $40, 100000 of inte.
rest bearing deposits belonging TO private de-
positors, This amount has an been paid off
Legal tender notes 70 the amount Of 1869,

car .celed during the month, leaving tie out
Standing volume Of lawful money $3.50, 1876, 785, |
against s899, 165, 200, ,292 q month ago.
This all looks very we'll, but the process by
which this seemingly rapid reduction is
effected must soon come to an end, and the
country will then be brought face to face with
the problem which is finally to besolved-the
payment of the consolidated, OF what will
then be the consolidated debt and the redue-
ton of the paper currency to an amount no
greater than is necessary for the demands Of
| business. Such reduction would, if conf
dence in the government be maintained, be
equivalent to putting the currency on par
| with gold, But the manner in which this is
to be accomplished is not very discernible.
The policy of converting the whole volume OF
the interest bearing debt into bonds bearing
interest, is very questionable even were it
practicable 1t is difficult to see how the
country would be benefited by paying taxes
on four hundred millions more of debt-that
is, to say, on an amount equivalent to the
volume Of currency. 1t would be very
good thing to return to a specie basis, but
such price might be too much to pay for it

to each of the last two monthly exhibits, com

AMERICAN MNNurACrCEEs-THE AM
ENCAN WATCH Co. or WMrIIlM.
MASs.-Evcry one knows that the me
chani,m Of the best manufactures of this
country is unequalled in any other part
of the world. The genius of American
mechanics produced the cotton-ain, the
mechanical reaper and mower, the sew
ing machine, and last but not least, the
wonderful machinery Of the American
Watch Company OF Waltham. This
Company was established in 1850. and
has grown in propo, tons which ent.tle it
TO first rank among the manufacturing
enterprise of the New World. 1t now
employs between 900 and 900 artizans
OF superior skill and character, and a large
and thriving town has grown up in its
vicinity. The factory covers over three
acres of ground, and as an illustration
OF It's extent, we may mention that it is
supplied with more than GO miles of iron
pipes and produces an aggregate of neal
y 10000 watches per annum. The
founders of this Company believed that
the same delicate mechanical processes
which had produced such remarkably
perfect result in larger machines, might
he applied with even greater advantage
to the production Of the watch. The
foreign time-picccs are made principally
by hands, and except when of high cost,
AN imperfect article, often out of repair,
and OF little value is the result. Abroad,
these mysterious and ipfnitesimal organs
which, when aggregated, produce the
watch, are the fruit OF slow and toilsome
manual processes. In the results, there
must Of course be lack Of the perfect I'M
iformity which is indispensable for correct
time-kccping. The constituent part of
the American watch, on the other hand,
are fashioned by the most delicate ana
accurate machinery. Wheels, piuions,
springs screws, absolutely uniform in
weight, circumference, dimensions, and
in every possible particular, are turned
out in myriads by uncTing fingers of
steel, and their proper combination and
adjustment by skillful workmen have
given the Company its high reputation.
Its watches not only 90 with the trade
and 10 in the pockets of 200, 900 people,
but they % right and go everywhere, -
ErciaNge.

The internal revenue bureau, acting
under the general law, requires all citi-
zcns in the South to render income re-
turns tor the year 1861, as well as for
1868. Some of the rebel officers resid-
ing in Alexandra, Va, are startled by
the call OF the assessors npon them TO
furnish required statements, and are SUI
prised that rations received by them in
the confederate army ale estimated at
forty cents apiece. One of them express
ed his readiness to'pay his tax in confcd-
crate money, but this, Of course, was de-
clncd.

a special messenger arrived yesterday
at Los Angeles, bringing dispatch from
the commander of Fort Grant. to Gen
Mason, announcing Fort Goodwin, Ari-
IONA, had been taken by two thousand
Indians, and the garrison, numbering one
hundred and twcnty-four men. mastered
with one exception, and the fort burned.
The man who escaped was out hunting
at the time, and witnessed the commotlon
from distance. lie saw the fort burn
ing, and heard the firing of guns during
the fight, which lasted nearly an hour,
1t is supposed the Indians gained adnIis-
sion 10 the fort under prctcxt of entering
into treaty of peace, which Gen. Mason
had instructed the commander of the fort
TO make.
A dispatch received yesterday from
New Westminster, reports new gold dig
gins paying nine dollars per pan, had been
struck on Clemens Creek, near Big Bend
mines. Hundreds of boats are Going up
the Columbia River, laden with miners
and provisions. 1t is rumorcd that the
United States soldiers at Fort Colvilc
have deserted aud gone TO the mines, tax
ing their arms with them.
