TIE PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT for May has
just been made, and shows decrease during
April of Sll, 697 ,793 80. During the year
the debt has been decreased S97 1888, 066 80.
This is a most gratifying exhibit, and seems
to us the best of reasons for letting our
present revenue system remain substantially
as it is. Let this steady diminution of our
Liabilities 90 steadily on, and in less than
twenty years we shall as nation be clear OF
debt. One thing more perhaps Congress
and the Executive ought to dO-set their
faces firmly against all extravaganza in the
expenditures Of government. Reduce ex-
penses wherever practicable. Cut off all
superfuous Offices. Resolve against any
further purchase of foreign territory at pres
ent. Insist upon faithful collection of all
income and revenue taxes, and make those
taxes bear equally upon all classes and all
the industries of the nation. The people
will not seriously complain of taxation so
long as the nation is in debt, and is working
surely out of it, Iif that taxation is only
made equal, and the government is economi-
cally administered in all its departments The
people desire freedom from debt, economy
in officials, and then they are sure relief
from excessive taxation will come in due
time.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY AT RICHMOND, Va
just as the FREEMAN went to press last week
we received intelligence OF the falling in of
the gallery and floor Of the Supreme Court
Room, over the House Of Delegates, at Rich
mond, Va, by which some sixty persons were
Instantly killed, and over one hundred others
more or less injured. Many of the victims
were prominent men of the State and day,
and the terrible catastrophe has yelled Rich
mond in mourning. A large number of
people were present at the time to learn the
decision in regard to the contested mayor
atty question, which was to have been made
that morning. But the sad event has tended
to allay all angry feeling-and beth sides
now only know and feel common grief The
following extract from a private letter,
written by one who was present, gives some
idea of the terrors of the scene and will be
read with melancholy interest:
90 The crisis came like an earthquake
OF a sudden there was cracking of timbers
and the gallery opposite the bench came
plunging and crushing into the middle of the
room upon the congregated mass, and in
simultaneously the floor itself quivered and
caved in, opening vast crater, into which
sank gallery, timbers and the massive weight
of human beings sitting near the bench,
with no possibility of escape. What added
to the horror and peril of the scene, the great
ceiling of the court room itself, joists, planks
and plaster, came with crash from above,
wounding or burying in the ruins those who
had not been caught under the gallery or the
falling timbers of the floor. Escape was not
thought off by those far in the room. The
walls shaking, the floor sinking, the ceiling
pouring down. every avenue seemed cut off
and utter humiliation certain But happi-
ly for number of us near the bench, mar
row margin of the room about the breadth
of bench chung to the walls. the bench it
self being unOccupicd and not so much strain
ed, and throwing ourselves forward we grasp
ed the railing that garded it. and thus held
on at the very brink of the vortex. The
ratings, too, protected good many from
the timbers of the ceiling by breaking the
force of their fall
was too much bruised and shocked to re-
main a spectator, or to take part in as
sisting the wounded but the scene as it
appeared at its happening was the embOdi-
ment of hOrriic chaos-a wreck of matter,
a crush of human life, nightmare of wild,
shattered ruin with cloud of dust arising
from and obscuring, like smoke from a vol
cano."
To-day the people of Richmond are holding
a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer to
God in view of the appalli ng visitation thus
suddenly sent upon he city. Reliefmeetings
in aid of the sufferers have been held in sew
eral cities, and the contributions have been
generous, and the heartiest sympathy is ex-
pressed.
