The Commercial says: The National
debt, less cash in the Treasury is at last
less than two thousand millions of dollars.
The Secretary of the Treasury hoped to
cut under that figure during his term OF
service. AS there are fifteen millions of
dollars in fractional silver in the U. s.
Treasury that is not required, why should
it not be converted into silver dollars in
stead of buying silver to meet the monthly
requirement? The decrease of the Ma
tional debt during the short month con-
tanning five Sundays was $5,672019

The Gazette says: Kentucky seems to be
about to distinguish herself by discrImin-
ating against the Southern Railroad, which
the city of Cincinnati has built through
that ate. Yesterday one branch of the
Legislature passed bill which is designed
to prevent this road from carrying through
freight by forcing it to carry local freight
at the same rate per mile as the through
rate. No road in the country could get
any through freight at local rates, The
bill processes to be general, but it was
stated in the debate, and not denied, that
it would not apply to the Louisville &
Nashville, or the Kentucky Central, or, in
fact, to any other road save the Gin.
cinnati Southern. The bill supports
the common notion that the Lou.
isyille g. Nashville Railroad owns the
State of Kentucky. 1t is simply bill to
transfer all the through business to that
road. 1t proposes to punish the city of
Cincinnati for building railroad in Ken
tucky, and through that to punish the
people of Central Kentucky for having
railroad. The electric lights started by
