report The prospects are not altogether
gloomy. The print works have been re-
ported as suffering most severely from the
effects of the late panic. These statements
appear to have been exaggerated, and a
more healthful feeling is spreading through
the manufacturing districts of the State,
Oneida ard adjoining counties of New
York, according to another Tribune cor
respondent, may be considered as recover
ing from the alarm fom which they were
suffering few days ago. The Tribune

has spent much time in travelling through

INCREASE OF THE DEBT.

The telegraph reports that there will be
10 sales Of gold or purchases Of bonds by
the Treasury Department during Novem,
Der. An explanation of this change in the
policy of The Grant administration may
probably be found in the following state
ment contained in the Washington cor
respondence Of the New York Times (Ad-
ministration organ) under date of Oct. q:
"The debt statement of the Treasury
Department for October will show a con-
siderable increase, very likely not less than
100000 or 100000. This has been
anticipated at the Treasury Department
since the first Of the month. Though the
public revenues from custom rebeipts and
internal taxation have fallen below the ex-
pectation less than was feared, they have,
nevertheless, declined so much as to render
any decrease of the debt absolutely impos-
sible. It is not unlikely that the debt
statement for November may also exhibit
an increase from the causes that have op-
Grated during the present month. Perhaps,
on the whole, this result may be beneficial,
as it will serve as warning to Congress to
prune the appropriation bills very closely,
to keep the public expenditures for the next
fiscal year below the revenues of the Gov
eminent"

A CERTTFTCAfE OF CHARACTER

Can not Mr.. Secretary Richardson pro-
duce better certificate from his cwD State
than this from the Atlantic Monthly? Read
his character"
"There is another thing in connection
with this interference of the Treasury
which demands investigation. Grave accu-
sations have been brought against the Secre-
tary of the Treasury for what is, to speak
plainly, Justification Of the accounts of
the Department. No one suspects Mr..
Richardson of dishonesty, but he hiss been
trained in a school of politics which has
rever taught its pupils that respect for
truth is the first political virtue, and it
would be quite within the bounds of pos
sibility that Mr.. Richardson should think
il very praise worthy action to represent
the affairs of the Treasury as in a more
prosperous condition than they actually are
by treating called bonds IS gold, or some
other simrle device. he has denied in gen.
eral terms the truth Of the rumor, hut he
hiss not given any reason to believe that he
will court investigation. It is one of the
peculiarities of the present Administration
that it resents al criticisms and inquiry in
to its procee dings, as if the election of its
head by the people gave it sort of political
iDfallibility."
