no foundation for the report of the dis
agreement between Secretary Seward and
the Mexican Minister. Their relations
are Of the most cordial feeling. Romero

condition Of his private affairs require his
return.
The forthcoming statement of the public
debt will show a considerable reduction
compared to the last monthly exhibit
Since the 3Ist of May more than $4,000,
600 Of interest has been paid out of the
treasury, S20,000,00O which were in
coin, and two instaIlments of ten
millions each in currency; and the re-
duction which will be shown for July is
principally owing to the receipts of inter
nal revenue having been heavier than usual
and is also increased by the payment of
the income tax.
There will be comparatively but little
interest paid by the government until next
November, when the annual interest on
the 6-20s falls due, which will amount to
about twenty-four millions in coin.
The Commissioner of Patents will issue

In year or two at the most, all dis g..
elimination on account Of color will be
banished from our laws Those men in

undo the Grand reform Of which the war
was the instrument In Virginia it is
feared that the State Republican Con

of division in the Republican ranks,
and the creation Of rival parties, black
and white In Missouri, also, there
are Adventures who urge the cOlored

Presidential ticket, and in case it is
refused, to form a separate organization
We do not believe these efforts will be
sustained by the colored men, for they
