The Utica Convention is not going TO be a
one-sided affair." Thus much is certain from
the forecast of It's composition which we print
in another column. A powerful minority is

ton.
The Cincinnati Southern Railway will be
opened to-day for freight business through to
its terminus at Chattanooga, and the people
of Cincinnati will soon learn whether their
white elephant as they are in the habit OF
calling the road. is likely to repay them for
the money they have spent upon it,
Friends of public education will look with
interest upon the efforts begun in Cleveland
to enforce the attendance at the schools of
children of school age now employed in manu-
featuring establishments. The Ohio law vir-
tualy provides for compulsory education, but
this provision has been heretofore little better
than dead letter.
General Grant reached the City of Mexico
Saturday, and was received with military
honors Among the older officers of the force
which escorted him to bis lodgings there may
have been men who fought against him at
Cherubusco and Moline del Rey. unless, in
deed, all such veterans have been killed off
in the numerous revolutions the country has
gone through since General Scott conquered it.
1t is pleasant to notice with what hearty en-
thusiasm Mexicans are everywhere welcoming
the ex-President.
There is no surer indication that the present
tide of business prosperity has come to stay
long time than the rise in real estate here In
New-York. This kind of property is not sub
ject to sudden fluctuations, and cannot be
forced up by mere temporary or fictitious
activity in trade. The increase in the rentals
of stores and Offices down town, reported in
another column, and the brisk market for
building-lots and dwellings uptown, show
plainly that the business of the metropolis is
in healthy condition. Among the purcbas-
ers of houses are said to be a number of CAPT
talists from California, who have concluded to
transfer themselves and their possessions to
place where the Kearneys and Kallochs of the
Pacific Coast cannot apply their Communistic
experiments.

NEARLY FIFTEEN MILLIONS OFF.


The public debt statement issued to-day
shows reduction in the debt Of nearly fifteen
millions Of dollarS-the exact figures being
Si4. sl9, 1865. This heavy reduction is due to
the excess OF the revenues of the government
over expenditures and the consequent purchase
OF bonds for the sinking fund and their cancel
lation. During the month over sl3 600 600 of
outstanding bonds were bought in by the Treas
ury. The reduction this month is the largest
that has been made since April, 1872. For That
month the reduction was S15.4Sl ,96S. 81. In
March, 1877, there was also a large reduction
s,4,1oI0oo. This was due, however, to
the fact that about nine million and a
half OF the Geneva award was cancelled. The
reduction In the debt from June 30th last to date
foots up the handsome aggregate Of $40 S14 432 10.
The reduction last month was s5.612,OOO The
