Mr. Secretary McCulIoeh bas re?
cently furnished a statement of the
national debt, as it stood lnteen days
ago. The amount then outstanding
was $2,757,253,275. The debt bear?
ing interest in coin is $1,108,622,641;
on which the" interest is $64,521,837.
The debt bearing interest in lawful
money is $1,289,156,545, on which
the interest is 874,740,630. The debt
on which interest has ceased is $1,
527,120. The debt bearing no inte?
rest is $357,906,069. The total inte?
rest, both in coin and lawful money,
is $139,262,468. The number of legal
tender notes in circulation is $685,
236,269. The amount of fractional
currency is $25,750,000. The amount
of coin in the Treasury is $75,338,000.
Total amount of coin and currency in
the Treasury $116,739,632.
Stupendous as this debt appears,
there is nothing in its proportions to
occasion apprehensions of cither pos?
sible or -probable repudiation, if
prompt and energetic steps could be
taken to reduce our national expendi?
tures. Of thc 1,000,000 troops who
were under arms- in April, 700,000
have been mustered out of service;
but between 250,000 and 300,000 are
still und?r arms. The estimated ex?
penses of the Government are still
nearly $50,000,000 per month, or in
round numbers $('00,000,000 per an?
num. Indeed, it has been computed
tin; expenses of the Government, from
the 1st of July last to the 1st of Feb?
ruary, 1866, will amount to $344,000,
000. The probable expenses of tho
War Department are placed at $200,
000,000, and those *f the Navy at
'$40,000,000, or $240,(K)0,000 for both
branches of the service for six nuonths.
Our receipts in that time, it is esti?
mated, will not exceed $296,000.000,
which amount falls short of meeting
the expenses of the Government and
t'ue interest on the national debt-to?
gether nearly $40,000,000. From this
it will be perceived that, as peace now
prevails, the expenses of the army and
navy might be easily reduced $70,000,
000, which 'would leave a handsonn?
.surplus of $30,000,000 in the National
Treasury on the 1st of February, 1866.
THE COTTON* QUESTION TN ENGLAND.
The London Times' correspondent
.says that the cotton question is far
from settled yet, and the great doubt
as to the American production hinders
ftil calculation. Before the war Eng?
land paid ?38.000,000 a year for cot?
ton, ol v?iich .?21,000,000 went to the
United States. Now. for a half sup?
ply, she pays i; early double that
amount-say" ?00, OU. ?,000. China,
Japan, India, from which so much was
expected, ?ire practical . failures.
Egypt does a little better, but not
enough. If labor can be re-organized
in the Sont li, America may again have
the monopoly and supply the world.
