UGLY PUBLIC DEBT SHOWING.

This official statement of the public
debt, issued yesterday, shows a defci-
ency of revenue for the month of No
vember of nine million dollars. The IL
legal issue of legal-tender notes has
now reached eleven million dollars. On
the Ist Of September the legal-tender
and fractional currency outstanding
was $685., 100000, after deducting the
cash in the Treasury. The correspond
ing amount now is S4l4,000,000. The
imitation is therefore S26,000,000 in
three months. 1t now devolves ON
Congress to provide means to enable
Mr.. Richardson to draw back this
S26,000,0 900.
Furthermore the United States Gov
eminent has undertaken to maintain a
Sinking Fund for the extinction of the
Public Debt. That Sinking Fund now
calls for an annual contribution of
about thirty million dollars. The law
establishing the Fund may be found in
the act authorizing the issue of the
five-twenty bonds. 1t should not be
treated as waste paper.
During the month the six per cent.
interest-bearing debt decreased Sl5,-
257,900, while the five per cent. debt
increased $500, 100. The official es-

GEN. GRANTS CHIEF JUSTICE.

The President has rendered to George
H. Williams, of Oregon, now Attorney
General, the appointment of Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme. Court, and the
nomination is to be sent to the Senate
to-day.
This is a selection unfit to make. 1t
is on par with the composition of the
Cabinet and with Gen. Grants system
of degrading the Offices of the Govern
ment: but it is most unfortunate that
this system should be extended to the
high functions of the Chief Justice.
Mr.. Williams is deficient alike in abih-
ty, learning, and character. a native
of central New York, be owes his prom
incnce solely tao his emigration. Had
he remained at home, he could never
have been known as more than a third
rate country lawyer. He is the inferior
of every other man ON the bench to
which it is proposed to elevate him.
His appointment is an insult to the re-
spectacle bar of the country.
In the better days of the Senate so
unworthy a nomination would have
been Indignantly rejected; but now
there is little reason to expect anything
but servile compliance with the viii of
the President.-Nelv York San, Dec. ,.

The Chier .Insticeshin.

The nomination Of George III. Williams
to be Chief Justice was to-day referred to
the Committee ON Judiciary, but no fur
4her action was taken on the subject in eX-
ecutive session. IL is stated that the Pres
ident from the beginning made up his mind
not to appoint a successor to Chief Justice
Chase from the Supreme Court bench. and
that he did tender appointment to Senator
Conl1ling who declined it. He then wished
TO appoint Caleb Cushing and retain At
to,ney General Williams in the Cabinet
until near the expiration Of the Presiden-
tial term, calculating that by that time
Gushing would retire by reason of his age,
and in that event he would appoint Will
liams The proposed app eminent of Cush-
ing not being considered expedient by the
Cabinet, fastened the Presidents purpose
TO apDOint Williams.
