before stated, $11 1,o12, ,07s.s4. It should be remembered, however, that for all the bonds sold for redemption purposes the Govern. ment received and still retains an equivalent of the cost, thus making no increase in the total of the debt, but, on the other hand, there was a decrease during that pc, riod. On July l, 1873, the principal of the debt less cash in the Treasury aan was $2, 105, ,462, ,06O.75. On July Il, 1873, It was $1, ,996. All, ,9O5.03, making decrease during that period of $1O9, ,047, 155.72. This latter amount, however, does not represent the precise amount of the reduction of the debt as shown by the monthly statement, for in these statements the amount Of accrued 1n- terest outstanding at the several periods IS as a charge. The amount or deot June 30, 1873, as shown by the debt state ment, which includes the principal and ac- crued interest less cash in the Treasury, was $2, 147, SIS, ,713.57, while the debt stated the same way on June 30, 1879, was $2,027, 201,- 6.37, showing decrease of $120, ,611. .4o7-- 20, which was precisely the amount of the surplus revenues for that period and the ac- duction on the entire debt. You will also notice from the statements sent herewith that even the principal of the debt is now much less than it was in 1873.
 Very respectfully,
 K JJpToN Assistant Secretary.

 A Fierce storm-Richmond Deluged With
 Water.
 RICHMOND, Sept This city was visited on Monday night by one of the fercest storms ever known in this section. For two hours rain fell in torrents, accompanied by almost incessant thunder and lightning The rush of water in the streets was so great that Shockoe Creek, in the lower part of the city, was swollen to an angry torrent which over flowed it's banks and flooded the whole vicin- ity. Many cellars were filled and buildings bordering on the creek inundated. The oc- cupants of the buildings were mostly colored. The flood came upon them so unexpectedly, they being awakened by Q rush of water in- to their houses, that it was with the greatest difficulty they were saved The scene in the neighborhood of the swollen stream was ter rible Women and children were seen at windows holding lamps and screaming for help. The night was pitch dark, and often cries were heard from points where no one could be seen. Men were wading about in the water, trying to save life, while they saw their little all in worldly goods swept away, While the damage is not great, yet the loss falls heavily upon people who are least able to bear it. A number of merchants sustained considerable loss by the flooding of cellars. In other parts of the city the streets were badly flooded, and several bridges in the suburbs were swept away. Lightning struck in several places, but did no serious damage. No loss of life has yet been reported. Re- ports from the surrounding country show that the storm covered an extensive area and did some damage. The amount of rain which fell here last night was 27-1oo inches.

The New Maratime RuIes-Thefr Rein-
 tion to American Vessels.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-On the 25th ult- the New York Maritime Register Company or New York addressed letter to the Secretary of the Treasury asking whether the rules of the road for preventing collisions at sea, and which have been adopted by many maratime nations and went into effect to-day, were binding upon American vessels in foreign wa ters The answer of Acting Secretary French was prepared this afternoon and mailed to New York He says Congress has not authorized the repeal or modification of the rules of the road embraced in sec- tion 4, 233 of the Revised Statutes and the department accordingly has no authority to declare the new rules binding on the Amer ican commercial marine. The department has. however, been officially advised by the Department of State that in the event of difficulties occurring between American and British ships that would involve submission to British courts, the decision would be &C., cording to the new rules. It is possible ln the same event of similar difficulties arising between vessels of this country and those of any other that has adopted the new rules, and similar disposition would be made of such case. It would be advisable therefore for American vessels while navigating foreign waters to conform to the new rules. Such conformity, though involving Aggression from the rules recognized by the statutes Of the United States, would entail no penalties on the return of all American vessels to th1s country.

All the lenders of the Ghuz- nee faction are said to have joined Ayoob Khan. General Phayre marched yesterday with his whole force as he expects battle at Taktipul. Ayoob Khan's Herati, Kohistani and Kizilbashi troops are said to be desirous of deserting him, since learning of the re- cognition of Abdurrahman Khan as Ameer at Cabul, but they are sworn on the Koran to fight.
 It is officially announced that General Roberts reached Candahar yesterday and is expected to attack Ayoob Khan to-day.
 A dispatch from Quettah says General Roberts has had slight attack of fever. Ayoob Khan has asked leave to retire, al- though now strongly entrenched.

Perhaps the most important subject to
engage the attention of the Legislature
this winter is the fixing OF the valuation
On Which state taxation is to be based
Iof the ensuing ten wears. Some Of the
larger cities and towns feel that property
i'll Wild lands has not borne its fair Share
OF taxation, and there is a general feeling
that the towns Of north Aroosto0k have
not paid more than a fourth part Of what
is due from them. 1t will be the duty Of
the Legislature to examine this whole
subject in fair and dispassionate spirit,
and if there has been any evasion OF
proper burdens in tie past, to see to it
thai the needtul correction is made for
the future. No partisan feeling can en-

question is one Of law, equity and fact.
