NEW YORK, April 29.-The Times
special says: The workings of the
treasury for the month just closing will
show a large reduction of the national
debt.o In the next statement Secretary
McCulloch hopes to reduce the total
debt to about twenty-five hundred mill
lions, at which he believes 1t must re-
main SO long as the present govern
ment income expenses is maintained.
The Indian war will draw largely on
the national resources this summer,
and while the course of the treasury is
perfectly clear and easy, the reduction
Of the national debt must soon be sus-
pended for time at least. .-r..
There has been very strong impress
sion prevailing in this city for the past
few days that General Rousseau, who
is here awaiting orders, would be sent
to New Orleans to supecede General
Sheridan. The report has been tele-
Eraphed South, but 1 am able to state,
on the best authority, that no officer in
the South holds his commission by so
certain a tenor as General Sheridan.
General Rousseau does not desire a
command in the South, buthopes to be
assigned to the Department OF she
Columbia, which Will give him very
desirable position on the Pacific coast.
The following Is General Sheridan's
order relieving one of the aids of the
New Orleans Chief of Police, for inn
proper Interference with registration:
J. w. Boyle, an aide to the Chief of
Police, having on the 18th inst. induced
freedmen, by making false representa-
tons to them, thereby obstructing the
law by causing them 10 leave the vi
cinity of the registration office In the
first district of this city, is hereby dis
charged from the police force of the city
OF New Orleans from II O'Clock to-day,
The Governor has made efforts to in
fluce Gen. Sherman to authorize Gen.
Sheridan to set aside the recent action
of the Mississippi Railroad directors,
but has not been successful Gen. Grant
declines to interfere and refers the APP
plicant to the President. So Beaure-
gard and his associates still hold con-
troll of the road.
The Herald's special says the parties
urging an injunction against the recon-
struction law, express confidence in
their success. -r- .s.
The Times special says: A circular
signed by fifty OF the leading manufac.
turers Of New York, PHILADELPHIA,
Pittsburgh and Boston, among whom
are Peter Cooper, John JeWett q Sons,
and others, of New York; YIN. Sellers
& Co., Ben Bullerak & Sons, and others,
Of Philadelphia, curing hams; and
OuE16A ohA d.
Ward, of Detroit; with others, has been
issued, calling a conference of the
manufactures of"the country to meet
at the Astor House, New York, on the
Sth of May next, to deliberate upon the
present condition and prospects OF the
material interest ofAmericanin industry,
and to decide upon some means
OF calling public =; attention to
this subject. The success which
has attended the efforts of the
free trade league in affecting public
sentiment, by the wide-spread distribu-
ton of popular documents through the
countrys is cited by the. call as demon
strating the necessity Of adopting the
same means, asst will be equally effec-
tual, to counteract the evil it is alleged
to be working. This Is the. first notice
of the present great struggle for yet
higher duties.
The HeraId's Richmond special says,
in remote portions of the State, the ut
most good feeling exists between the
negroes and the whites, where radical
influences has not been used to promote
dissention. .si.s.s3 s. .lisslsi. ~
