REDUCTION OF THE STATE DEBT The
Indianapolis Daily Journal, ot the 9th,
says that the reduction of the State
Debt has begun in earnest-that under
Democratic rule from 1916 to 1860, the
State Debt grew upon our hends-that
party created new debts to pay interest
on the old, besides swallowing up all the
trust funds in the treasury; added to
this. the rebellion, set on foot by the
Southern and governing wing of The
Democracy, created new debt of 81
100000 for defensive purposes. Under
Republican rule, considerably more than
half of this has been paid; over $780,
600 of the old debt was discharged ia
1866, and the amount of the State debt
sinking fund now in the treasury. and to
come in from the taxes of last year, WIN
retire about S1,o00,0oo more OF the two
and one half per cents. Next year we
shall begin to pay off the five per cents,
and by 1872, the whole of our internal
improvement debt will be liquidated.

NEW YORK, Sept. l2.-The Herald's
special says: Developments of the In
ternal Revenue frauds are taking
tangible shape and are so wide in their
ramification, it is said, as even to i'm
pIicate certain members of the Wash
ington Cabinet, whose identity at pres
ent is concerned. Proceedings in the
Revenue Board over these alleged
frauds are said to have been somewhat
stormy, some of the members offering
to resielI OF sc"ount of TEEN, and Mr..
Rollins presence here AT one time was
in furtherance of an investigation e:
the subject. J. G. Allen. keeper OF the
warehouse on Sedgwick street, whose
alleged frauds have been committed,
WAS arrested and held in twenty thou
sand dollars bail, with charge OF com
plicity in the illeRitimate removal of
20, GOO gallons of Whisky. Mr.. Call
cot, it ia said, has brought to the
Knowledge of Washington officials
some very ugly matters relative to the
doings of his prosecutors. j. c.
Thompson. keeper of the bonded ware
houses, Nos. "a and 46 Sedgwick street,
Brooklyn, was arrested and taken be-
fore Commissioner Newton at the U. S.
Court, on charge of being implicated
in the removal OF 10000 gallons OF
whisky which had been placed in his
charge. He was held to bail in the
sum of twenty thousand dollars.
A Times special says: II has beeu
recently stated that the dispatch dated
August 10, from General Grant to Gen.
Sickles, which WAS printed Saturday
last, completed their correspondence.
This is not the case There are two
other brief dispatches and u letter from
General Grant to General Sickles, ds-
tep Aug. 24th, which being understood
by the latter as private, he has not pub
Iished it. In this letter General Grant
comments on the wisdom OF General
Sickles.

induce the Comptroller of Currency to
restore the bank to its managers on the
ground that it is public benefit, and
they offer, as directors. TO guarantee an
Indebtedness to the bank in certain
sums amounting to over $500, if
their request is complied with. There is
great doubt il the Comptroller has pow
or under the law to suspend proceedings
after they are begun, and the applica-
ton of these parties is suspended
by the pending legal opinion on this
point.
The Tribune's special says, the Presi-
dent will remain quiet now till after the
fall elections. No Cabinet changes Will
take place till after the Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New York elections. Prob
ably the President will suggest to Dis

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Navy
Department has received a report from
Capt. james F. Armstrong, command
ing at the Pensacola Navy Yard, dated
the 9th inst. He fears, on account of
the prevalence of yellow fever, that the
partial suspension of the work at the
navy ward will add to the distress and
suffering already existing in the vii
lagos outside of the yard, yet with the
heads of departments and many clerks
and no responsible person to oversee
the employees, it would be decidedly
loss to the government to go on with
the work. The mayor had appealed to
the neighbOTing cities for aid in physi-
clans, nurses and money, to which they
nobly responded, Mobile sending ST.
600. A hospital has been established
with the funds received. From the SIN
to the 18th of August there were 22O
cases of fever and twenty-eight deaths;
zens on the naval reserve are
raising money by subscription TO
employ physicians. nurses and obtain
medicines and food for the destitute.
