General Grants Financial Record.

On the first of March, 1869, when
General Grant succeeded to the Presi-
dency, the public debt, less cash in the
treasury, was $2,52s, ,46S, ,2e0.0l. Eight
years have passed since then, and the
debt statement for March l, 1877,
shows that the debt, less cash in the
treasury, is S2,0Ss, ,7S1. .l43. The reduc-
tion has been $436, ,6s2,117. In the
eight years, therefore, of President
Grants administration the debt has
been reduced one-sixth. No wonder
the London Times, referring to this
achievement, says that the work OF
the United States has put England's
management to shame.
The policy which was begun under
President Grant has been steadily and
consistently followed. Not single
year has passed that did not witness
some reduction. Even the year of the
panic was no exception. That year,
the fiscal year we speak of that ended
July /, 1874, the reduction was over
$4.000,0 900. One year the reduction
amounted to the magnificent figures
of 1927 900, 600, and another to $l09,-
100000. No lapse of time can dim the
lustrc of this achievement.
On the second of March, 1869, gold
was at premium Of 81 %. On the
second Of March, 1877 Gold was quot
ed at premium Of A 12, the loves!
price touched since the 1lth Of June.

The Coal Question.

GREENWICH, March 9, 1877.
EDITOR EAGLE:-I noticed iii the
EAGLE, as | was perusing it columns,
that some one had visited Mr.. Me-
Campbell's coal shaft, and was anx-
ious TO know what made Mr.. Nc
Campbell go into such an undertaking
and what the prospect was for coal.
Now, as am miner, and have fol-
lowed..mining for thirty-eight years.
perhaps my opinion upon Mr.. Nc
CampbelPs coal shaft will do no harm.
had heard various reports about
the coal shaft, and about ten days ago
| went and saw for myself. l found
young Mr.. McCampbell very intelli-
gent gentleman and a man of good
judgment found him pretty well
posted, considering the experience hc
has had in mining, and as regards get
ting coal, there is no doubtsin my
mind but he will find coal. 1t has al
WAYS been my opinion that coal could
be found at the depth OF three or four
hundred feet. The indications are so
good that he may strike coal any day.
In all my travels never saw any bet
ter indications, and as Mr.. McCamp-
bell has had the pluck and the grit to
do what he has it would be wisdom
in the people of Sedgwick county or
any capitalists to see that he is assist
ed in going down 10 coal. They can
not invest their money to any better
advantage. If any one would wish to
converse with me privately about Mr..
McCampbcll's coal shaft they can find
out where live by calling at the
Greenwich post Office, Sedgwick county,
and | will be very happy to converse
with them upon the subject.
