Debt statement
The debt statement, which will be
promptly issued to morrow, will show 3
decrease of about SS,OOO,0 900. The in
terest on the May five-twenties is not
charged up until after the first of
May, nor is this interest which now sp-
pears in the aggregate of the debt every
month deducted from the total until the
next statement, at which time the pub
lie may look for large decrease in the
debt, not only from this cause but from
the largely increased receipts of internal
revenue. ~ 900.

Railroad has written to the Secrets-
nv of the interior that the road is
nearly finished aud that the rails of the
two Ioads will probably be joined next
week. The latter replied to-day. 1t is
deemed advisable that the Commission

port has not yet been made, should ex-
anime and report upon the road from
the thousand mile post to Promontory
Summit, as soon as the requisite form is

Examining Board Dissolved.
The Secretary of War has ordered
dissolution of General Hardies Board
for the examination of claims against
the department, which was organized
two years ago, and also General Emory's
Board for examining and reporting on
a system of cavalry tactics, and the

United States DepositOries.
1t is not true, as stated in some of the
papers, that the Secretary of the Treas ,
ury is considering the propriety of re-
dscing the number of national banks a
to one in each election district. He has
no power under the law to do anything ,
of the kind. The report perhaps arises &
from the fact that the department is de-
batting whether United States deposit
cries may not we'll be reduced to one in
each Congressional District. Some re-
duction in this direction Is probable,
