THE DALLAS TRAaEpY.--The pre-
limi.ary examination Of two of those ar
rested charged with completely in the
death of Jenny Boiee is now in progress
at Dallas. There were four persons ar
rested, Cocbranc and wife, and Fender
and his wife. Cochrane waived an ex-
animation, and Mrs gochrane is sick
and could not be taken into the court
room. We understand that there can be
no doubt but that the parties will be
bound over to await their trial at the
next term of the Circuit Court. The ev-
ideuce so tar is very strong to support
the suspicion that The death of Jenny
Boyce was caused by an attempt on the
part of defendants to procure an abortion
- Lnionist
From the Polk County Times we col
late the following facts in relation to the
murdered girl: Eliza Jane Boyce, aged
about Is. had been living with tho fam.
lily of N. Cochran about two years. For
several months past her principal EN-
ployment has been to attend upon Mrs
Cochran, who was an invalid. On Mon
day, the 28th Of June, Mr. Cochran
came home about noon, and missing
Jenny, inquired for her, and was tole
that she was probably in the garder
| mending her dress. About one o'clock
Jenny still not making her appearance
Cochran commenced search for her
and eventually found her in the smoke
house or buttery adjoining the house
She was lying down in nude condition
bucket and towel on one side of he
and her clothing ON the other, in dyin:
state. An inquest was held on the body
a post mortem examination ordered
which resulted in finding that the de
ceased was with child.

REDUCTION Of the Public Debt.

In our issue of the Sd instant it will
be remembered that we stated. upon what
we deemed reliable information, that the
national debt would be reduced, for the
month Of J une, in the sum Of So, 900 900.
Later information shows that this state
ment was too small by over ten millions
of dollars. The Portland Oregonian has
received New York journals of the I'd
of the present month, containing a full
statement of the condi ition of the public
debt, which shows that the actual re-
duction for the month last passed was
Sl6,410, ,232. These arc stunning figures
for repudiators and croakers The actual
decrease in the public debt since Grant
became President of the United States
only four months-faots up the nice little
sum of $50, ,460.s.79, which is over nine
millions per month, or at the rate of one
bundled and ten millions per annum
And yet, according to Democratic fgur-
ing, the country is getting deeper aud
deeper in debt! The reduction of the
debt since tho 31st of August, 1865,
when the debt attained its maximum, is
shown to be s314,S5l,4o1 Taking into
the account the bonds bearing currency
interest, leaned to the Pacific railroads
since 1865, the net reduction Of the debt
is s257 ,474,0S1. The present debt, ex-
elusive of railroad bonds, is given at
/ S2,441, ,555,110. From these figures il
will be at once apparent that, while the
Democracy arc declaring that the public
debt never can be paid, aud are advocat.
ing repudiatien and dishonor, Republi
can Administration is gradually reducing
the debt and saving the country from
the eternal disgrace that would follow the
adoption of the Democratic policy. The
Republican party is thus fulfilling its
pledges to the nation, while the Demo
cratic party still continues its obstructive
and dishonoring policy of the past.
