Reduction or the National Debt.
". II. MoRRow,
Secretary

On the first day of March, 1869,
the public deot of the United States,
less the .amouut of cash in the treas
ury, according to the official state
ment then published, was $2,525,
aga, 26O.01. Surprising that during
the first four days OF the month the
debt was reduced by $S5,573.10,
which is four -thlrtieths of the reduc
tion for the entire month, the
amount of Indebtedness. less cash in
the Treasury, on the fifth day Of
March, 1869, was s.. 525, 427 $3.50. 81.
On the first day OF June, 1872, the
total public Indebtedness, less cash
in the treasury, was S2,193, 1873
81, showing the enormous reduction
Of 1891 ,91O,3O7.97 IN the amount OF
debt since the fourth of March. 1869
It thus appears that during little
more than three years OF President
Grants administration the public
debt existing at its commencement
has been reduced by nearly enc sew
enth OF It's entire amount. European
journals, commenting upon this
achievement, have spoken OF il with
establishment, as something wholly
unparalleled in financial history. To
appreciate its fall value to the people,
however, we must consider the i'm.

"Gencral Grant a Failure"

Greeley's Now York Tribune few
months ago published the following
very just and excellent article:
GENERAL GRANT A FAILURE.-Upon
General Grants accession to the Pres.
idency, great number of those who
had supported his election, with
some who had not, sought office at his
hands. or expected him to bcstow it
unasked. He was unable to crafty
their aspirations. Most of those
whom he found in officesclaimed that
they had given him their votes some
of these he saw fit to retain while
the laws of which he Is the servant
required him to reduce materially
the cost Of the public service and the
number employed in it.
Our great civil war had rendered
necessary large increase Of minor
functionaries; the settlement OF
claims to pensions, ETC.. had excused
the retention of Hundreds in place
up to the close of Mr.. Johnson's
term; but now law and justice alike
demanded that they be dismissed, to
their own very general disgust. Their
lamentations, mingled with the bowls
OF the disappointed, make up a dole
full dissonancc, whereof the only
meaning deducible runs thus: "Gen-

financially interested in this paper
paid very nearly fifty. dollars for this
report. 1t was obtained for public
use, with the expectation that contem

venient during the canvass. As the
record of the first Convention of the
district it was thought, also, that it
might be OF permanent value Since
the business managers seek no other
return for giving it than the public
approval, it is surely just that they
should have whatever business advan
