The REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL
DEDT.-The Treasury Department has
Issued a statement in tabular form
showing The amount OF The public debt at
the timo President Grant became Presi-
dent, in March, 1869, and the monthly
decrease or increase oiboth principal and
interest for every month Of the eight
years that be occupied the office. March
lst, 1860, the national debt amounted to
$685. 62, 26O OIL, and March lat, 1877, it
was s2,Oss,7Sll 43 Oh, showing decrease
during General Grants administration OF
S43G,6s2,ll6 The interest expendi.
for March, 1869, was $40, 5S2, 1852 50, and
for February, 1877, it wasS7 ,SSl, 97O 4C-
adecrease Of monthly expenditure FOR
interest during President Grants's term
Of $4,000, 492 Oh, or ut the rate Of S32,.
4O590l4S pcrannum. The interestfo the
month of January was slightly smaller
in amount than for February, and the
present expenditure represents rather
more than the actual interest of the debt
on account Of the paying Of interest on
the new a. per cent bonds sold before
the called.in G per cent bonds cease to
draw interest. The reduction Of the M.
tiOnal debt to the amount of S4S6,6s2,OOO
in eight years and the saving Of more
than 49,, 4O5, 9O4 annually is record that
the Republicans may be proud to present
to the country.
The largest decrease of the debt re-
ported in any one month was in July,
