THE NATIONAL DEBT.

! An ineo rect dispatch. which was pub
LIS he'd in the evening papers two OF tire.
days ago, announced that the forthco
sta tement would show an increase in the
national debt for September. The ofsicia
figures, published yesterday morning
show there has been decrease OF nearly
two million dollars. During the latte,
part ct the month the receipts for customs
fell off nearly one-half. and it is probable
there was similar falling off in other
sources Of revenue. The general espec.
tation was that the decrease IN the public
debt would not be as great as usual.
though few believed there would be ap
increase. sea- U.s ao: lGW 49,
The decrease in the debt represents the
excess OF revenue receipts Over the current
expenditures. The surplus is Immediately
invested in the purchase OF bonds, which
are placed in tie sinking fund, and the
inter est collected and applied to the pur-
chase of more bonds. Thus the interest
account in the sinking fund has grown to
be very large, and is made 70 assist mate.
rally in the work Of reduction. {:
The Secretary Of the Treasury always
incl udes in the liabilities the four hun.
dred million dollars legal tender notes in
circulation; but as it is probable very
large amount OF this issue has been
burned, destroyed OF otherwise perma. }
ne ntly lost, and as no part of it drc...s IN In
te rest, very large deductioc from the
published figures may safely be made.
In reality the nation does not owe so
great an item as four hundred million
dol lars treasury issues. The currency
balance is, however. lower than usual,
being about three and a quartz. millions, !
against fir ON six to eleven millions. This
is acc ornted 70. by tie secent heavy dis.

A WEAK INVENTION OF THE ENEMY.
We aSk the ipS,,ln,aunn - .,,. l

We ask the indulgence of our readers.
The REPUBLICAN, in common with the
entire city press, has permitted an im.
portant law to escape its vigilance since
April !, last. We plead ignorance, which,
under ordinary circumstances, is admit.
tedly no valid Plea, but it is the best ex-
cuse we have. 1t appears now, from a
publication in the Picoyune-n other
paper has the news-that an important
act was passed by both houses of "the
Legislature" and duly approved by s.Gov-
ernor McEnery" on the seventh of April.
1873, providing for holding an election on
the first of November, TO determine the
question whether there should be held a
State constitutional convention or not.
That such an important measure should
have SO long escaped the vigilance of our
reporters is owing to the fact that thew
were not aware Of the existence of two
Legislatures in this State. This ignorance
is, OF course, objectionable. 1t is true
there was body OF gentlemen who PLAYED
Legislature for time last winter in Odd
Fellows Hall, but as they sat for a con-
siderable portion of the time with closed
doors, did not publish a journal of their
proceedings, had no recognized place of
business TOR their officers of State. and
have never published their journals and
laws in pamphlet form, it has been ex-
ceedingly difficult to find on. wha. thew
were doing at all times.
Better late than never, however. At
this late day We are favored with an .'offi-
cisl copy" of an important election law,
which provides for the opening of the
polls On the first Of November, the ap.
pointment Of registrars by the Governor
and the selection Of supervisors Of cleo
ton BY them, an appropriation of
twenty-five thousand dollars, and pre-.
scr-bes the number of delegates to
be chosen, and who are authorized |
70 meet n convention in casa such a
body be ordered by popular vote. This
aw lacks the usual attesting signature of
the Secretary of State, which, however,
$ not the only, norperhaps the most fatal
iesect it contains. It was not passed by
he Legislature at all; does not have the
ignatures Of any Speaker Of the House
nd Lieutenant Governor; has. not re-
ei~ed the approvai1of the Governor, and
hare, is Nc published journal to show its
oursesthrough the pretended Legislature.
