THE NATIONAL DEBT.-The schedule
of the public debt of March 1st exhibits
decrease in the public debt of nearly
six aud IA half millions during the month
Just passed. This certainly is more favor
able than was generally anticipated con.
sidering the provisions of the half yearly
pension payments, and is to be attributed
to the economical measures OF the present
administration. The New York Times
has the following in regard to the official
returns of revenues for the three fiscal
quarters since Grant became. President,
which are compared with the expenses OF
the government: -...

Total nine months, sse9 sos. 7e6 sal2.7e4, 52i
Surplus revenues, s7,l40,275
The present schedule practically closes
the first years conduct of the public finan-
ces by President Grant and Secretary
Boutwell, 1t shows that the funded debt
of the United States bearing interest in
gold has been reduced oyer one hundred
millions of dollars. The net reduction OF
ell debt, funded and nnfunded, after pay
ing the premium in currency on the bonds
bearing interest in gold, purchased for
the sinking fund, is over eighty seven
millions of dolIars.-Ir0Y Wig.
