MRMPHIs, TENN, April s, 1885,

Towards the close Of next month
1853, 900, 900 of the national debt, con.
sistiug of the 5 per cent bonds, will
fall due, and at the end Of June $780,
OO0, 900 6s also mature. These bonds
have been a subject Of much discus
sion in the councils of President Gar
fields cabinet, and Secretary Window
made a trip to New York last week
to consult leading f%nanciers about
them. 1t has not yet been made pub
lie precisely what the policy of the
administration will be on thi, impor.
tant measure, but it is believed Mr..
Window will refund a portion of the
5 per cents with s1O4, OOO, 600 unissued
4 per cents, which can be sold at a
premium of II to 13c on the market
at present, and that he will also use a
portion of the surplus evenu and
the cash in the treasury for the same
purpose. This will leave something
over $3.50, 900, 600 to be pro-
vided for, and the course to BE-
pursued in relation to these
bonds is a question Of serious con.
alteration. 1t is thought that an
effort may be made to place a 8 pei
cent bond on the market to absorb the
amount, but this is only a matter o.
conjecture now; and how it is to bs
managed, at least until after con.
gress meets next winter, is a question
of doubt. The probabilities are tina.
the matured bonds, not taken up b!
the As, and extinguished by the sur
plus cash in the treasury, will b,
allowed to lie over.
