THE PUBLIC DEBT.

In his last report, the Secretary referred
TO the condition of the Treasury at the
close of the war, and at some subsequent
periods, alluding especially to the emer-
gency in the spring Of 1866, arising from
the very large requisitions which were
waiting for payment, and the still lager re-
quisitions that were to be provided for, to
enable the War Department to pay arrear-
ages due to the army, and other expenses
which had already been incurred
in the suppression of the rebellion. In
briefly reviewing the administration of the
Treasury from April, 1866, he did not
think it necessary to state how much of the
large revenue receipts had been expended
in the payment of debts incurred. during
the war; and he would not undertake TO do
it now did not misapprehension exist in
the public mind in regard to the expendi-
lures Of the government since the conclu-
sion of hostilities, prejudieial TO both the
law-making and law-executing branches Of
the government.
The war was virtually closed in April,
1865. On the first day of that month the
public debt amounted, according to the
books and accounts of the department, to
50, 366, 955, ,07734. On the first day Of
September following, it amounted to $2,-
757, ,689, ST.. AZ, having increased in four
months $500, 734, 404.09 From that period
il continued to decline until Nov. /, 1867,
when it had fallen to 81, ,491, ,594, ,450. On
the 1st day of November last it had risen
to s2,527, l29, ,552S2.
By his statement it appears, that, be-
tween the 1st day of April, 1865, and
the 1st day of September of the same
year, the debt increased $3.50, 734, ,494, 90,
and that between the LIST day Of September,
1865, and the LIST day of November, 1868,
it decreased $3.50, $50, 01s, 81; and that on
the last aforementioned TWAS $160, ia, ,475,-

April, 1866. Since then the Treasuser's re-
ciepts from all sources of revenue have
been as follows:
For April, May, June, 1865. 5 S3,519, ,1G4.13
For year ending June 80, 1865 558, ,032, ,G20, ,06

Gates ofindebtedness which hadb issued

pay the requisitions in their favor and

time, the efforts to negotiate securities
were not being attended with the usual

were not less than two millions of dollars
per day. The vouchers issued to contract
ors for the necessary supplies Of the army
and navy payable one-half in certificates
of indebtedness and the other half in

p~ Gov. Stevenson, of Ky, in his inaugural address, uses the following sound talk, which conveys good ad- vice to the people of the South:
 earnestly invoke the people in every portion of this Commonwealth, at every cost and any hazard, firmly to uphold the law and support me in it's faithful observance. For every wrong our laws afford a remedyl 1 beseech you to permit no man, or set of men, at any time, or under any pretext, to trample upon your laws with impuni- ty. Let punishment be accorded under the judicial sanctions of law, calmly administered by wise and patriotic of ficers elected by the people them selves.
 Let law become the only armor of the people. Make obedience to it the majestic token of the capacity of the people to govern themselves, under consultations and laws wisely framed, as self-imposed checks upon their own power, and as bulwarks for life, liberty and property, against frenzy, passion and arbitrary power. That man, or set of men, who, howevor virtuous, or with whatever end, presume to take the law in their own hands, are ene- mics to free government, and may, themselves become victims to their own 1awlessness. No freeman can jus tify himself for violence committed in contravention to law.

It has not failed in single instance to have the wished-for effect. am doing pretty large country practice, and have daily use for some article of the kind. am free to confess that I know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On the contrary they are un- certeain in the extreme. My object in writ ing you is to find upon what terms l can get the medicine directly from you If l can get it upon easy terms, shall use great deal of it. am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of great majority of the regular line of NJ. D.'s, but see no just cause or good sense in dis carding a remedy which we know to be efi cicnt, simply because we may be ignorant of its combination. For my part, shall make it rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 may be able to command--not hesitating because some one more ingenious than myself may have learned its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure that knowledge. However, am by no means an advocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms. am, sir, most respectfully,
 JULIUS P. CLEMENT, NJ. D.
