The last official statement OF the Public Debt
shows that there were in the Treasury on the
LIST inst no less than $1OG,623374 in coin, from
which deduct the amount of Gold Certificates
outstanding (22j,690 $500 and there remain over
Eighty Millions Of Dollars in gold and silver
belonging to the United States-an amount
which has undergone little variation for many
months past--an amount which would buy up,
redeem and cancel over One Hundred Millions
of the interest bearing Debt of the United
States. thereby saving to the People some Six
or Seven Millions of Dollars per annum.
The question we would ask is this
Is there one other financier in America be-
side Hugh McCulloch who believes it neces-
sary or expedient to keep this vast amount OF
coin lying dead in the Treasury year after
year, We do not wish to argue the point
we seek only to ascertain the fact. And il
there be no other advocate Of the boarding
policy, we would ask if there must not be
some way to make that coin available to some
good purpose. and not leave it as perpetual
temptation to burglary and villainy J

The long Geographic report of the proceed
ings in the British Parliament on Friday night,
transmitted through the courtesy OF Mr.. Cyrus
Field to the New-Yorl Associated Press and
published by us yesterday, affords matter for
little reflection on the extraordinary progress
which a few years have witnessed in contri-
vances for interoceanic communication. Even
youne men can remember when debate in
Parliament would have been not several days,
but several weeks, IN reaching Us, and when
the application of steam 10 ocean navigation
was thought as great marvel as a few years
ago the laying of an ocean Geographic cable
was regarded. What further progress may be
before lis it is impossible to fOresee. We have
reached the limit of speed in the transmission
of messages for the flash of the current Is
practically instantaneous; but undoubtedly we
shall vet improve a great deal upon the pres
ent telegraph system, and the day is not Tar
distant when a three-column dispatch from
London, which looks so wonderful now, Will
cause no more surprise than three columns OF
news. from Brooklyn. The transmission OF so
many thousand words in single day, in addl-
ton to the usual number of private dispatches
transmitted, too, with entire accuracy, so Tar
as we can JUDGES proof OF the great capa-
city of the Cable, and shows that we have only
begun to employ it as it may be employed

HOratio Seymour appeared yesterday at Al
bany. The Democratic State Convention meets
there tomorrow. Mr.. SeymOurs friends have
thus far said that he would not be a candidate
for the Presidency; but it seems these givings
out were only to lull the suspicious of Hof-
man, Pendleton, and the others. Seymour will
doubtless try for the Endorsement of the State
Convention, and if he sets about it he will sue

Wade may feel bound as a Senator not to
allow his vote to be lost; but if so, he will
take care that impeachment shall result in the
election of another than he to the Presidency.
If he votes upon the question, therefore, he
will not vote upon it as an interested party.
AS to the 30 Senators from the Southern
States, the only obstacle in the way of their
readmisson will be removed by the conviction

Gov Fenton has nominated tit successor to
DR.. Willard Parker as member of the Metro
poitan Board of Health. Prof. Stephen Smith,
who has received the nomination. has long
been identified with the efforts to secure SAM
tary improvements in the metropolis. His argu-
ment before the joint Committees of the Legis-
lature in February, 1866, in favor of the present
Sanitary system was then, and is still, regarded
as one of the most convincing and profound
efforts of the kind ever made by the advocates
of sanitary reform. DR.. Smith took leading
part in the sanitary survey of the city in 1861
IS, and is known in his profession and among
the directors of our public institutions as one
of the most prudent, conscientious, and skillful
men in counsel, and as DC foremost leader m
