examine all Inventions that may be brought for

The New Currency.
The demand for the new ten and ffteen-cent
currency is so great that Secretary Boutwell, has
information to the effect that it has sold in New
York at u premium. The Secretary has in
structed the Assistant Treasurer at New York to
distribute some Of this currency there. The
bank-note companies are greatly to blame for
the dilatory manner in which they deliver this
currency to the Government.
The Next Debt statement
There is reason to believe that the public debt
statement for the present month. as well rs for
the months of August and September will not
show as much OF decrease as for the two or
three months past. Heavy payments for the
army, together with a falling off in customs re-
ceipts, and payments of interest ON the public
debt, are the causes assigned.
