The Public Debt.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-The monthly
statement of the public debt will be pub
lished on or about the 5th of March. 1t twill
not show any very material difference from
that Of the last statement. The receipts
from customs during this month appear to
have been quite heavy, and those from in
ternal revenue sources unusually small
less, indeed, than the former-this being
the first instance of that kind. The debt
statement will exhibit heavy increase on
the gold balance, amounting to several mil
lions of dollars, from which the interest on
the 10-40s due lst proximo will be paid,
The forthcoming statement viii be more ia
vorable than that Of last month, when there
was an increase Of the public debt, caused
by heavy payments of interest during the
month

WASHINGTON, February lS.-The events
Of the past week seem to confirm every
word of that reported conversation which
represented the President as saying SUBJ
stantialIy that he desired harmony between
the two branches of the Government that
he knew this could only be obtained by q
square back down on his part and that
ali he wanted was good chance toget out
Of a bad scrape. Within week Andy"
has been sending messengers from one to
another of the Radical members of Con-
gress, advising them of his willingness to
come to terms. This l know to be fact,
though it is safe to bet hat there will be
q semi official denial of il before long, and
the whole story will be denounced a. a
"sensation." The fact of the matter is,
Andy is fat failure, take him any way
You will. He lacks the nerve to do what
he believes to be right, just as he only
lacks pluck to do what he knows to be
wrong. He is willing to proceed to a GER
tain distance in either, but when it comes
to the crisis he gets scared, turns back,
and squats doggedly in his seat in the
White House. He Is sort Of General
jackson with the brains all scopped out,
except in the organ of destructivenesS,
which, with no motive powers to put it in
operation, is nothing but snivelling uiS
inertia-harmless to his enemies and help
less to his friends.
We trust the above is not true. Indeed,
we regard it as at best gross exaggeration.
The President cannot now help himself.

In Committee Of the Whole the naval ap-
propri.tion bill was considered. It gives

In the consideration Of the tariff bill the
western men made q persistent fight for

hours and half were consumed on the
hemp question, and the proceedings had .

made, when the House took recess. j

yolving over $500 from State to Federal

was passed. v~
House bill retiring compound-interest
notes was considered. A substitute au-
thorizing the issue of temporary loan GER
tificates bearing three per cent. interest,
payable on demand, was passed. The sub
stitute provides that the national banks
NAV embrace three-ffths Of these loans.
National banks are forbidden to pay or
receive interest on reserve deposits from
other national banks.
The civil appropriation bill was resumed.
Several senators maintained, in view of the
threats of the Presidents organs and
spokesman, that it was necessary Congress
should surround itself with its own friends.
This question arose in debating the ques-
tion of an appropriation to pay the super
intendent of the capitol buildings. 1t was
claimed that the Senate should appoint to
the Office.
The Senate went into executive session.

BRILLIANT. Military BALL n RfcH-
xosD-BEAurIrrL SCENES, DECORATIONS,
&c.-MusIc,. .DASc1So, FEsTrvTTY, &C.
Richmond, Ta., February 49, Camp
Grant, Immediately on the suburbs Of the
city, was last night the scene Of the most
brilliant affair Of the season, grand mill
tary ball, given conformity by the officers OF
the Eleventh United States infantry and
those Of the Fifth battery of artillery,
comprising the garrison here. The ball
room, which was large and commodious,
was beautifully decorated with notices
and the flags of all arms Of the service,
displaying great taste and love for the
national emblems. The post band of Camp
Grant furnished the music on the occasion,
every piece Of which was executed with
the utmost precision and In the most ad-
mirable style, filling the hall with q delight
full melody, often unusual at ball. About
seventy five ladies illumed the affair with
their presence, among whom were large
number from the city, Of undoubted Union
sentiments; but such was the taste dis
played by all in their charming dresses
that distinction would be invidious.
The whole assemblage, numbering about
$50, was exceedingly striking; and as the
waltz, gallop, and schottische progressed, it
was delightful TO observe the magnificent
costumes Of the ladies, the beautiful uni
forms of the officers, and the less brilliant
but fine ball dresses Of the civilians pre-
sent, and some officers who preferred that
mode, as they fitted in dazzling array to
the music. Among the guests who ap-
peared most to enjoy themselves were
several members Of the Virginia Legisla-
ture, and whose presence indicated no
aversion to military rule on their part.
There were also present Major General
Schofeld, department commander, and his
ladies'; Inspector General Colonel George
Gibson and lady, Brigadier-G General Gran
ger, district commander, and lady, to-
gether with Colonel Huston, commanding
Camp Grant, and his officers; and Colonel
Dupont, commanding battery of the Fifth
artillery, and his officers. Everybody
seemed bent on enjoyment, whether mill
tary, manor civilian, army ladies, or those
from the city. The dance lasted to the
small hours Of the morning, when the
whole party present partook of splendid
supper; after which they retired, refreshed
as well as enjoyed by the dance. l under
stand it is the intention Of the officers here
to have succession Of these intensely de-
lightful affairs.-Ne,0 York Herald.

for him by the managers Of those lotte.
ries, mad 1t was admitted that he sold the
tickets OF the Georgia Lottery. The law in
relation to lotteries requires that each dealer shall file
bond STIMULATING that he shall make correct returns
and tax on all receipts from the business and that
he shall stamp all the tickets issued in the lottery for
which he pays the special tax and files the bond with

place where the defendant carried the business 1t
argued the part of the that the pay
ing OF this special tax aud the filing OF these bonds did
authorize him to sail In the Georgia lottery but in
the Kentucky and Shelby only; and although he had
paid the special tax as dealer, still he was not au-
thorzed to sell beyond these.
Commissioner Newton SO decided yesterday He held
that the bonds issued to protect the
the sale IN the Georgia lottery contemplated
under the bonds although lottery was mentioned in
the special tax receipt issued In this case.
Hovey accordingly held TO await the action OF the
Grand Jury. From this decision II recurs that the

him to cell tickets only In the lottery lottcree with
