THE PUEBLO DEBT On FEBRUARY
prWuGn

The following statement as to the conN
dition of the national debt, is taken from
the New York Tfibune--a paper advo-
eating every possible plan to make money
scarcer with the people and the debt
larger II this be the showing of those
whose financial creed has as its leading
tenet-a national debt is national bless
sing, how great curse is it really
Secretary McCulloch reports the total
debt of the United States on the LIST inst,
less the amount OF cash on hand, at 81
527 ,O69,3l3. This is very considerable
increase during January, caused in part by
the payment during that month of rearly
thirty millions Of interest on the public
debt-that is, about three months interest
were paid during that month. We hope TO
see the payments of interest so arranged as
to call for a nearly equal amount during
each Of the twelve months. Apart from
interest aforesaid, the payments for the
month were not quite thirteen millions, or
at the rate Of S156,0O0000 per annum.
The seven.thirties are reduced below two
hundred and seventeen millions and are
fast being converted into fve-twenties.
The coin in the treasury was little below
one hundred millions On the lst but We
presume twenty millions or thereabout
have since been used in paying of the loan
OF lS47 (Mexican war;; reducing the debt
and the coin by that amount. Weheartily
wish Mr.. McCulloch could be induced TO
use fifty millions more in paying off some
form of debt; but, as he will not do it, and
Congress will not make him, it were idle to
dwell on the point. We cannot help feel
ing, however, that the vast hoard of coin
in the treasury tends to create an artificial
scarcity of gold, and thus to sggravate the
disparity between coin and currency.
The revenue, both internal and for inn
ports, has fallen of; the whisky makers
continue to defraud the treasury with bra
zen impudence, not paying tax on one gal
lon in every twenty and there are similar
though smaller leaks in other quarters.
We heartily trust that the Committee of
Ways and Means will discover a way to
stop the worst Of these waste gates.
Nearly seven millions of compound in
teret notes are held back, which are fully
due, and on which interest is no longer
paid, as the treasury stands ready to re-
deem them. The holders, We infer fancy
that they draw interest till paid, which is
a grave mistake.

A REPORT was circulated short time
since that Mrs. Lincoln was insane, and
that her insanity was of that character
which led her to sell everything. Since
then We have received a letter from Chicago,
from reliable source, contradicting the
report, and stating that Mrs. Lincoln has
been boarding at Chicago, until lately,
with the family of a wealthy citizen, MIR.
Coles, and that she is now residing at the
Clifton House, in that city. The Clifton
House is boarding house on large scale.
Mrs Lincoln's temper is said to be very
irritable, owing, perhaps, to the chagrin
she feels at the ingratitude of the Repub-
lican party toward her. She dresses very
plainly, and devotes much of her time in
the society of friends who are in quite
humble circumstances, to whom she IN
burthens her thoughts and hopes and her
greatest pride seems to be in watching over
Tad" and directing him in every proper
Courtesy. Louis Republican, FEB. TO-

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR.
A message from the Governor in refer
ence to the strike on the Memphis, Ciarks-
vile and Louisville railroad SAYS:
IL regard the whole affair as a regular
conspiracy against the State authorities
| and the road. Without being able to iden-
tify the parties, think il proper to lay be-
fore the Legislature the whole matter, that
you may take such steps as you may think
+ called for in such an emergency. do not
propose 10 yield to the mob spirit of any
combination, but / hope the Legislature
will aid me in demonstrating 10 these men
that the State can do as well without the
advantages of the road, as the employees
can without the employment, or the citi-
zens without the active operations of the
road through its disloyal territory. Ger
tainly the Legislature will not allow such
lawless measures to force the State into
the payment Of claims before they are au-
dited and their correctness ascertained.
81 propose, if the Legislature will agree
with me, to wind up the affairs OF the road
and sell it ont, 80 as to secure the interest
Of the State. l must again urge the I'M
p9rtance of enaeting more stringent laws
in regard to our railroads, snd particularly
