THs SEPTEMBER DEBT STATEMENE

The Public Debt Statement for September
is an extraordinary document. If it is the de-
sign of Mr. Richardson and his officials TO
shrOud their dOiDgs in impenetrable mystery,
they at least deserve credit for some regard
for the fitness of things. We have of late
attempted an analysis of these monthly sched-
ules. We have thought it important that the
business community should know how much
gold the Treasury owned, how much belonged
to private depostOrs, and how much
was likely to come on the market. We
have found it no easy task to ascertain these
simple facts. We have convicted the Secre-
tary of settled purpose to conceal the truth
and delude the public. He has withheld and
still withholds information which it is his
duty to make known. He virtually tells the
people that they have no right to know any
thing about the public money beyond the bare
fact that the Debt has decreased or increased
so much during the month. Ii his skirts were
clear of Wall Street mud. this sort of treat
ment would still be uncomfortable.
The first thing wo have to notice in the bull
letin of yesterday is an increase of twenty
four million dollars in the five per cent bonds.
Of this increase fifteen and one half millions are
accounted for by the issue of the registered
five per cent bond for the amount of the Ala
bama Indemnity. The other eight and one half
millions must be on account of a subscription
by the Syndicate to the new loan. Now it is
matter of some Importance to the banks, the
dealers in foreign exchange, and to all persons
engaged in foreign commerce, both ex-
porters and importers, to know when the
stock of gold IN this city is to be
drawn upon for 80 large sum as eight and
half million dollars. The withdrawal of eight
and one half millions produces necessarily a
great effect in the money market The ten
dency of the Debt Statement, issued month
ago, was TO break down the gold premium.
That statement showed that by the 9th of
September claims would exist against the
Treasury gold TO the amount of no less than
ninety million dollars The outstanding
coin certificates alone were reported by the
Secretary to amount to ga, 493 900, and it might
reasonably be supposed that one half of the
remaining forty six millions would be claimed
by the holders Of the past due bonds and
coupons.
Now the course of the gold premium has
been in accordance with the natural effect of
the Secretarys report. but the stock Of gold

THE DIsCoRDANT STATE DEMOCRACY.

THE DIgCORDANT STATE DEMOCRACY.
The Convention of the Democracy at Utica
certainly showed vitality enough yesterday to
prove that the ancient bitterness at least has
not left the ashes of the party. The Tam
many faction admitted no terms of truce or
compromise with the sturdy rebels of Apollo
Hall, and the latter were turned out of the Con-
vention with no mincing phrases of courtesy
to palliate the blow. The Apollo Hall dele
gates were generally confessed to have more
speaking ability and more popular acceptation
than their opponents, and they claim to have
represented nearly if not quite half the voting
strength of the party in this city. But the party
discipline seems to have survived all its other
efficient qualities, and under the orders of
Tammany Hall their spirited opponents were
not only refused their seats, but a hearing as
well. 1t is not likely that this provocation
will be quietly endured by Apollo Hall. They
certainly showed last year no supersttious re-
gard for party orders, and are quite as capa-
BILE now as then of defeating the organization
which they have failed to control.
This was the only incident of any conse-
quence which marked the days work. The
speeches of Messrs. Beebe and Seymour, the
temporary and permanent chalrmen, were
rather indicative of the temperaments of the
two speakers than of any political pur-
pose. Mr.. Seymour was, as usual, cautious
and adroit in his few words of ad-
vice to the Convention, but he said
nothing which could serve as point of de-
parture for party so perplexed In its policy
and embarrassed in ito circumstances. The
exclusion of Mr.. Kinsella from the Democratic
State Committee on the ground of his COM
plicity with the ck-pay iniquity, is plucky
and sagacious adoption of the. example set by
the Pennsylvania Democrats in the case
of Spear, and plainly prefgures the tone
of the resolutions which will tomorrow
deal with that Congressional delin-
quencY. The wrangling over seats made
it necessary to postpone the nomination of
candidates. and we must therefore wait an
other day to see if the Convention mean to
seek the cooperation of all good citizens, or
prefer to have this campaign straight race
of Tammany against the field.

RAILROADS AND POPULAR RIGHTS.

We shall not be surprised if the great rail-
way crash of 1873 do more toward the solution
of the problem of cheap freights than all the
eloquence of the orators of the Oranges. 1t
has furnished remarkable illustration of the
system upon which roads are builC nowadays,
and shows very clearly who pays for them.
Take the Northern Pacific Road for example.
This concern was empowered to issue a share
capital of s1OO,OOO,O0O, but of this amount
only S2,OOO,OOO was required to be sub
scribed in advance, and only 100000
to be paid in. Although further calls might
be made upon the stockholders should neces-
sity require, it is toleraby certain that
they never expected to pay for tenth part
of the road out of their own pockets, or to do
anything more in fact than advance the pre-
liminary outlay for surveys, for legislation,
and the other operations of floating their
scheme. This was a slender provision, 1t
would seem, for road 1000 miles long
through an uDinhabited country. without COM
MERGE at either terminus, and without an
important town on its whole route. But the
projectors intended that Congress should build
the road and put them in possession of it.
They secured grant of nearly 5O,0000W
