INCREASE OF RoYpED DEBT.

The remaining charge in General EwinS's
curious medley is, that tho Treasury De-
partment increased the principal Of the
bonded debt $~s6,0O0,000. 1t is true
that under the resumption act 100000
900 Of bonds were sold, S5O,OOO,OOO
OF them at a premium OF u per cent,
yielding tho Treasury $780, 100, This
money is now in the Treasury Of the Uni
ted States in gold coin; and yet General
Ewing includes In the debt nearly all of
this $90,000,00 without saying one word
about the gold on hand. Now, II the
Democratic party does not like the large
reserve we have on hand, II can use this
gold 10 pay or buy bonds; but surely,
while the gold is OF hand, General Ewing
ought not to speak Of the increase OF the
interest. bearing debt without mentioning
tho gold on hand, the proceeds OF the
bonds sold. He says, ut will take the
savings Of interest by refunding for eight
or ten years to pay off this increased bond.
ed debt" but does not, as he should, can.
didly state thatthe money, the proceeds
OF these bonds, Is in the Treasury n
pended, and is there by express provision
Of law to maintain specie payments. It is
an old adago that figures will not lie, but
il figures are suppressed, or are not fully
given, they a be made to lie. II Is
enough to say that the statement as made
by General Ewing, though easily met by
the facts have stated, would convey a
very false impression OF the magnitude OF
tho benefits conferred by the recent re.
funding operations. These have been all
satisfactory even TO harping critics who
find fault With everything else.
BY these operations $500, lS9,05O Of six
| per cent bonds and $l0i, see, 800 of five per
ce,,,t bonds have been taken from YOUR
debt staierent, and S99, 9O4,2OO four and
one.half per cent. and $7lI,O22,O 900
four per cent bonds put In their place.
This pRppot be obscured. The unneces-
sarily large double interest which General
Ewing and his political friends compelled
the Government to pay after their 'attaE,
ton had been officially called 10 It, has
been already paid out OF the savings from
six months Of reduGed interest. More
than one,foprth Of the sum appropriated
by Congress to pay the expenses Of these
operations has been saved 10 the Treasury
by prudence and economy. These fantE
General Ewing cannot obscure, and oughl
not wish To. Nor can hemake the PEG
pie Of Ohio beIieye that the great benefit
flowing from specie payments are mo-
worth many times more than the interes
paid on the bonds sold to secure tho an
pie reserve Of gold by which resumption 1
maintained. guo

EXPENSES OF REFuxDrSe.

But he complains Of commissions paidto
syndicates. In the reiunding act OF 1870,
Congress provided, to pay the expenses OF
refunding operations, one-half Of one per
cent on the amount Of bonds sold, and this
is the smallest rate ever allowed in this or
any other country for such purposes.
When entered upon my present office l
found contracts existing with a syndicate
OF bankers by which they were 10 re-
Ceive this one-half OF one per cent,
and out OF it pay all expenses OF
printing, engraving, transporting and ne.
gotiating the bonds, One OF the early
official acts performed by me as to the
loan, was to throw open the subscriptions
to the publiCon terms equal to all alike,
and to pay q uniform rate Of commission
Of one.Gighth OF one per cent to all per.
sons applying for bonds, and to pay all
other expenses out OF the residue OF the
one.half of one per cent allowed. Nearly
all the four per cent bonds were sold upon
these conditions, $4,000, 900 OF them at a
premium OF one.half ofone per cent.
The amount appropriated for negottat.
ing the four per cent bonds was S., 70B,.

partment has saved, over and above all
expenses, commissions, transporting,

But General Ewing says;
at appears, however, by the finance re.
ports, that the interest on the public debt
paid in 1877 was $97, $4,000, and last year
SlO9, 100000, and this year sl05, 100000. In

The following is from the Chicago Times
of the 9th inst:
The Times bureau has been given an ac-
curate history of the cause of Gen. Miles
expedition, and q correct idea of his general
instructions. The Indian bureau some
time ago received information that Sitting
Bull was making forays into our territory
under the pretext of hunting, but really to
attack and capture the stores of. the Indian
bureau at exposed points. The agents be-
came panic-stricken, and made appeals for
aid. 1t was IN this appeal from the inter-
Tor department that Gen. Miles was order
ed north. The number of men sent with
him was comparatively small, but it was
thought large enough to accomplish the OBJ
ject of the expedition. When Miles was
sent out it was the desire of the cabinet and
the especial wish of the president that he
should do nothing to bring on q war with
the Indians. It ID believed that the stores
of the Indian bureau have been by this
time put under ample protection. That
this has been so we'll done, and without
any serious collision with the Indians is q
source of satisfaction to the administration
people.
Our recollection is that the stores of the
Indian bureau at exposed points at the time
Miles expedition was ordered out consist
ed of fifteen sacks Of -four piled on the
levee at Poplar creek agency.

Last night the city press, chief of police,

had not proceeded far up the main street
when a dark object lying on the ground at.

Kentucky has just had a quiet election
which resulted in from 10000 to 10000
majority for Blackburn, democratic for gov
ernor. In the legislature the democrats will
have one hundred majority, a falling off Of
fourteen from last year. The vote recon-
mending the call for a constitutional con-
v%ention, though supported by both parties
has undoubtedly failed of the required con.
stitntional majority.
