duction of public debt, as shown in the state

OF May interest to the amount of 80, 1877 1877
which was due and payable before the 1st of
March, and which had never been reported as
part of the public debt. More than double that
amount was probably paid in like manner dur
ing March and April. The debt was in fact,
reduced NOR Hnu fifteen millions in May and
more than JWeuJy-tour millions since March l.
1t will be seen that the amount of unredeemed
coupons payable May 1 has been added to
the amount of debt in the June statement. Owing
to the manner in which the accounts have been
heretofore kept, the full amount of outstanding
coupons payable before that date cannot Mt pre-
sent be ascertained accurately.
