This increase of tlio debt occurs, too, when tlio collections from customs hove been greater than for any month during the year, mid ivhcn the w'urking force of tlie various departments (ex cept thu army) ims been reduced near ly one-half. This is a pleasant nut for tlie Rndi- cHI press and orators to crack, and when thu people find out I ho kernel is the army, tlint is mainly kept up in the South, and by tlio Freetlmen's Bureau, perhaps they will see it, mid not forget the fact on liie 4th of November next. — Washington Jlaprese. “Let us Have PeJos.”—A St. I.ou is dispatch, of Sntmilny, says, “ there in reliable information hero thnt thu Statu authorities have brought into and distributed throughout several counties, some eighty thousand stands of nrms.

Tlie tax-payers of the United Slates are quite 01°opinion thnt the Govern ment “should kuudinjuUtei'cd with the strictest economy."
