The public debt statement shows a
decrease of the debt for December of s..
$4,000. Treasury officials think. that this
rate of decrease can be kept up through
the present year if there is no adverse
legislation by Congress. The revenues
are steadily increasing, particularly re-
ceipts from customs, as the capacity OF
the people to purchase luxuries is shown
in these returns Immediately, The in
ternal revenue receipts are also increas-
ing, notwithstanding the reduction OF
the tobacco tax. The consolidated re-
port from internal revenue for five
months ending Nov. 80, 1879, shows an
aggregate increase, compared with the
same period of last year, of 81 ,315,672.57.

SUPPORT OF THE INSANE.

In regard to the support of the insane,
Auditor General Latimer says that Sec
ton 46, act 1914, laws of 1877, relative to
the support by the state of the non-resi-
dent INDECENT insane, has been in force
since May, 1877, but the payments under
this section have not been large; while
section 80, same law, has been operative
less than one year, and the amount
drawn from the state treasury under its
provisions is $4O,802. The state will
probably be called upon to pay from
$4,000 to 100000 from her treasury an
annually for the above purpose.
Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-01-10

in the treasury, Sept. 30, 1879, but 1885,
746 belonged to revenue; and further,
that against this revenue balance of
$456, 74S there were appropriations sub
ject to call, amounting to 1876, 998, show
ing an absolute deficiency in the revenue
OF $42O,25O. During the last three years
there has been only a few days when
this class of obligations was not greater
than the portion of money in the treas
ury belonging to revenue.

from governor down were $38,O88. The
expenses of the judicial department for
the year were $63,665. The expenses of

269, being all that is paid for the revenue
of the state. In the auditor generals

hire for the fiscal year in in 1879 was
| So, 562.99, against $66,177.82 in 1878,
showing reduction of $13,614.83. By
inquiry at the auditor generals Office We
| find the reduction in clerk hire for the
calendar year 1879 to be $17,365.O8 as
compared with 1873. These figures tell
their own story, and the work of the
Office has been as promptly and efficient
ly performed as it was in 1873.
The awards of the board of state audi
tors during the year were $160,687.35.
The amount realized from direct tax.

DISPATCHES from MenlO Park show
that the result of the test of EdisOn's

Over fifty lights were kept burning

result, in every instance, being most
satisfactory.

The reception of General Grant upon
his tour through the South, which was
commenced last week, is marked by 6
heartiness and cOrdiality not less thar
that with which he had been greeted in
other parts of the country. His progress.
through the Southern towns appears Il
have been one continuous ovation, il
which the population, white and black
joined with enthusiasm, and the Onl,
disappointment expressed was that h
could not stop at every town he reached
to enjoy the hospitality of the citizens
There is a significance about this recep
ton of the leader of the Union armie
by the people of the South that canno
be mistaken. 1t looks like the initiativ
to the abandonment of dead issues.
