If the dispatch of the I'd inst, may be
trusted, the reduction of the Debt during the
past month will not amount to quite as much
as was anticipated on Saturday 1t is, how
ever, more than enough to warrant those
sanguine hopes concerning the Treasury
which have of late become more general, and
which the Secretary's evident confidence
helps to spread On the first of July the
debt during Gen. Grants Administration
had reached the sum of $50, 400, ,779 43. If
the dispatch anticipa. ing today's statement be
correct the reduction is now $43, 710.777 43.
In other words, we have five months, under all
sorts of inherited difficulties from Johston's
Administration, in which to attempt getting
the finances into healthy condition; and IN
that time lave reduced the debt by month
ly average of eight and three quarter million
dollars
On the heels of this cheerful news comes
the Secretary's announcement that he will
continue to purchase three millions of bonds
per week for the Sinking Fund during the
ensuing month. We would make the pur-
chase larger; but we are grateful for so much.
The Treasury is ut least working steadily,
and are working in the right direction. - 'rri-
