THE PUBLIC DEBT.
The Increase During November.


In the N. Y. Heraids Washington dispatches
of this morning we find the following:-
The statement of the public debt for the month
of November will be ready for issue, 1t is
thought, on the 9th INST. Judging from the
reports already in, the statement will show an
increase in the debt to the amount of about
SO 0O0, 600. The receipts from customs in the
last month were not so large as during the two
preceding months, while the receipts from In
ternal revenue show but a slight increase over
the month of October. The receipts from inter-
nal revenue last month were, in round num-
pers, $4,000 600, and the receipts from customs
ana other sources will make the total receipts
about $2S 00O, 600. In the beginning of
November $2S, 100000 in coin was paid out as
interest," and the expenses of the Government
the expenditures about $50, 600. 600. The coin
in the Treasury at the end of the month was
SIC, 600 OOo, ABOUT SS3 OOO, 900 less than the sum
in the Treasury at the close Of last month was
very little over 100000,

dian War.
Special Despatch 10 The Eoerin0 Telegraph.
The Statement


The Statement
that the subject of the Pacific Railroad was
considered IN the Cabinet meeting yesterday Is
incorrect. Nor is it true thst all the members
of the Cabinet sustained Secretary Browning in
Withholding a portion of the bonds for the lu-
completed part of the road The representatives
of the road are now here, and will lay the whole
matter before Congress Rs soon as the session
opens.
General Il w. Hincks,
of Massachusetts,, having been urged by certain
political organizations here to become a candi
date for the office of Congressional Printer, has
written letter to the effect that he will permit
his name to be used in connection with the
Office. II Is understood that this
movement has been originated by
Certain soreheads in the Government Office who
for some cause or other desire the removal of
Mr. Defrees. The latter has proved go valuable
apublic officer, and has given so general salts
faction, that there is little danger of his removal
in favor Of any other candidate.
Transfer of Indian bureau.
Hon. N. g. Taylor, Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs, is in receipt of letters on both sides of
the question of the transfer of the Indian
Bureau to the War Department..
Some of these letters earnestly advocate the
transfer, and others are equally urgent and
give good reasons why it should remain under
its present control. or course the latter class
of letters come mainly from parties who are or
hope to be interested in Indian contracts and
agencies. 1t is understood that
Attorney General Evarts
considers the practice of compromising internal
revenue frauds as entirely illegal, aud that in
consequence Mr.. Rollins is to be notified that
be must in future submit all such cases to Secra.
tary McCulloch or the Attorney General.
Despatch to the associated Press.
The Indian War.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Authorization has been
received from Kansas that General Sheridan's
forces are moving from New Mexico Fort HAYES,
and four other points, in separate columns to
the southern country, where the climate is mild,
and to which the Indians are resorting for a
winter sojourn. General Sheridan is establish
ing base of supplies on the Canadian river.
The indications are that his plan OF operations
will be successful and the Indians summariIy
punished. Indian Agent Wynkoop is apprehen
siye that innocent Indians will suffer in the
cam mpaigBs, as no discrimination can be made
by the Commanding General.

COTTON.
The Great Interest of the south.


The Vicksburg Tunes concludes the last of
series ot articles on the great cotton interest as
The Times has demonstrated the great and
controlling value OF that portion of tRe cotton
crop OF 1868 which yet remains unsold. We
estimate that one.ffth of the crop this year has
been sold Tor sum equal TO $780, 100000, aud
yield the producers the magnificent sum of
$200,0 600. To insure this, we have advised,
and we now repeat that advice, that planters
shall sell no more than the sternest necessity
and the strictest good faith require. By keep
ing the market bare of stock and not forcing
sales, thus depressing prices at the suggestion
great staple may and will be kept up to the
TemuneratiVe price of 800 per bale. We are
glad to see that our suggestions have met with
universal favor with producing classes, and
those only who are compelled to sell will force
the product of their labor upon the market,
and thus injure themselves as well as their
neighb0rs,

The Colorado Question.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. "A Denver despatch of yes
terdsy says both parties held separate conyen-
tons yesterday 10 consider the subject of the
conventions were fully attended. The Republi-
can Convention passed a resolution, with but
oRe dissenting voice, requesting Congress to
admit Colorado at once ou such terms az they
may deem necessary. Tue Democratic Conyen-
tloD is not yet harmonious. TIE Chairman of
the State Central Committee and other promi-
nent members advocated admission on any
terms, but many opposed it except that negro
suffrage was not made part OF the Constitution.
The Convention passed resolutions asking Con-
gressional aid in the construction OF railroads
