TO REDUCE SURPLUS.
Cortelyou Will Do 1t by Reducing the
Public Debt.

Washington, July Nov that tne
fiscal wear is at an end and the treasury
officials are certain of the aggregate
surplus in the treasury covering the OPP
erations of the departmnt during the
past twelve months, attention VIII be
given to working out the plans for pay
ing the balance of the 4 per cent bonds,
amounting to about $36,O00.0O0. Within
ten days the treasury will receive $SO,-
900, 900 from the depository banks, Whlcn
will go a long way towards meeting the
obligation of the per cent bonds The
next question to arise is, what shall be
done with the constantly increasing sur
plus and the balance remaining In the
national bank repositories, aggregating
more than $14O,O00,0o0?
The opinion prevails in treasury cir
cles that the policy pursued by Secre-
tary Cortelyou in refunding $5O,OOO,O0U
Of the per cent into per cent consols;
continuing the facilities of the banks
| for issues of currency, and now drawing
! down $50 900, 600 of the public deposits &c
meet the final payments on the pei
cent bonds, all points to determine
| ton on the part of the secretary to uti-
| lie a considerable portion Of the surplus
| government funds, at convenient sea
| son in the neal future, to reduce to
! further extent the outstanding govern
! ment obligations. This apples more
| particularly to the per cent bonds, o
| which about $64, 00O 900 worth are still
| outstanding.
! There is little doubt that Secretar.
Cortelyou would greatly like to make ;
! special record for reducing the nationa
| debit and saving to the treasury larg
block of annual interest payments.
