Georgia Republican: THEIR COMING STATE CONVENT LINE OF ACTION—PRACTICAL RESULT. ‘The Georgia republican convention meets in Atlanta next Tuesday. It will, owing to the pecullar condition of democratte politics in the state, be much more than a mere matter of fo1m.

There are two courses, either one or the other of which will be taken, viz: To puta ticket in the field, or throw the repubiean strepgih for either Colquitt or Norwood, in exchange for a promise of some hand in the manegement of state affairs other guarantees, With a repubit aidate, the party stands no chane: css Whatever.

AN EXPLANATION OF ITS APPARENT INCRE ‘The following letter was sent out to-d: TREAStRY DEPARTM. Wasurnctoy, D. C., Sept. ist, 185). Tomes BE, Muu nau, Y North Manchest r apparently the charge fs true, and you desire a statement us to the Cause of the increase, In reply I have to inform you that the pri pat ot the debt July 1st, 1573, was $2,234 20. On July 1st, 1879, 1b Was $2.245,495,072.04, stowing an increase of the principal of the debt for the period mentioned of $11,012,073.s4. As an explanation of this increase, it will be remembered that during that peiliod the gov- eipment sold of bonds for resumption purposes $10,000,000, and in addition thereto, to replace ccin, used 10 payment of the Hallfax award $5,500,000, which would increase the principal of the debt dvring that period, $95,590,000. But there were meanwhile redemptions mae by purchase of bonds with the surplus revenue to such an extent that the net increase of the principal of the public debt, was 8s before stated, $11,012,075.54, It should be remembered, however, that for all bonds sold for 12sumption purposes, the govern- ment received and still retains an equivalent of cash, thus making 94 increese in the net toral of the dctt, but on the other hand there was a decrease during that period. On July 1st, 1873, the pilacipal of the debt Jess cash in the Treasury was $2,105, a On July 1, 1879, 1b was $1,096,414.905.03, mal decrease duriag that perlod of $109,047,155.72. ‘This latter amovnt, however, does not rep sent the precise amount of the reduction of the debt, as shown by the monthly statements, for, in those statements, tie smount of accrued tn- lerett_ outstanding at the several periods 13 1n- cluded as: aed The amount of debt June 30, 1873, as shown by the debt statement, which sncludes principal and accrued interest less cash in the Treasury, WéS $2,147,515,713.57, whtle the debt, stated the Sa@e Way, On June 30, 1579, was $2/027,207,256,- 37, Showing a decrease of $120,611,457.20, which Was precisely the amount of the surplus reve- Dues for that period, and the actual reduction on the entire debt. You will also notice from the statements sent. herewith, that even the principal of the debt 1s bow very much less than it wes in 1873. Very Re2zpectuully, K. Political Notes. J. R.
