It may bo stated, huwover, that when T eutered upon_the dutics «of my present position in March last; 1 found that of the bonded indebted- ness of thu government there were of 5 percent bonds, redeemable at_the option of the goveenment after M, 1st, 1, the ameunt of $461.320,6560. of which the amoant of §146,101,500 was reppesented by coupon bouds, and of 6 . por cont honds redecmable | at .the option of the governmert after July s, loan being reserved with a viow of /A MELANCHOLY AFFAIR. its payment from the surplus reye nues, three and & half per cent. bonds havinga market price slightly above par, the b per cents in question were rapidly presented, and it Lecomes necessary to extend somewhat the limit fixed for the amount of regis tered bonds to be accepted for con. tinuance on July 1st. A notico for the payment on October 1at, the registered b's not eontinucd was given,and the rosources of the treas ury will be ample to meet their pay. ment. The transactions con. cerning the b per cents are, na before stated, mot quite tomplete. Probably there will be continued in all about $400,000,000 of this loan, leaving to be rnm £30,- 708,060, tho remaiuder of tho loan Iready been paid from the haviug surplus and revenues under calls pre vivusly made by this plan. The de partment has been not only relioved from the embarrassment of “providing for the payment of the coupon est, but it has reduced all the ¢ per cent Joaus of the governm: loan, payable at the option Ltoa of the government and bearing intorest at only three and a half per cent num, aud this with the trit penses to the government of ne an- | [ ex paying | the actual§ expenses of the London | ageney, at which only. twelve persons have been om- ployed for a few weeks issuing about 844,600,000 0f the eontinental bonds. The saving to the govern- ment through the continuanee of theso bonds is very gratifying. On tle 6 ver cents continued the annual sav. ings hereafter in interest will be 84,451,378.75 on the b per cents, Assuming $400,000,000 to be contin- ued, the annual saving will be ahout $0,000,000, making a total aan al suving hereafter in the intercst of the public debt of §10,415,878 75, Moan- while, from March 1 to October 1, | 1881, when these operations will have been completed, there will ba paid of the 6 per cents 824,211,400, wid of the & per cents £69,320,650, wkingan additional annual saving in intcrese of | $4,918716 50, a total redustion of the | tuterest charge in seven wouths of wodut of $201,206,650, of whicl 304,000 were represonted by cou- the | quarteely uterest, falling due May 1, 1831, remained upon the coupon b per asints and nono upon the coupon 6 per cents, the next semi-annual interest ow which would fall due on 1, 1831, The refunding act by vhich it wus proposed to retiro of theso bends and to issue therefor beuds bearing a lower rute of interest, with several yeacs to aun before the government had the.aption of pay- went, after having received much considsration by congress during the last session, I\ug fuile@ to become a faw, and the -ealy -sesources of the goverument to meet the maturing obligutions were the #urplus revenves and the amount of *§104,652,200 in 4 pur «went bouds, ‘being a pars of thase aeaued by acte of ..“v_g 14, 1870,.end Janaary 20, 1871, and remaining un- iesued, these resources wero not wuffi- cient to provide for all maturing bords. and owing to the lengtk of viime which such 4 percent bonde had to run before meturity it wae not doemed advisable to issue more-of the loxn if such iesuo could well be moided, Whilethere was 1o ) era- . [ive necessity for providing for the registered ‘bonds of the watur- ivg loans, this plan was weeded to meet the interest paymente.on the «aupon bonds and there seemed to be o practicable method of - meeting payments without somewhat derable ezpenso to the govern- nt us well a8 to the holders of the wonds, Finally, to meet the demands f public creditors, and at thke same time 0 avoid the calling of an extra ession of cougress, which seems to be the only other alternative, tho plan was matured which has been put into aperation, andihas proved successful, Under this plan on April 11th, there was called for ebsolute payment on July 1st, 1874, the small loan of $688,200, beaning six per cent inter: est and known as the Oregon war debt, and at the same time for pay- ment on the same date the six per cont loans act of July L7th, and Axgust bth, 1861, amounting to $40,- 544,650, and the act of March 3d, 1863, amounting to 66,145,760, but to the holders «f the bonds of the twe later loans permission was given to kave their bonds continued at the pleasure of the government, with in- terest at the rate of 33 per cent. per aunwin, provided they thould s quest, and the bonds should be ceived by the' treasury for that purpose, on or before the tenth day of May, 188L,6nd in case at coupon bonds reg- isterod stock of the same loan should be issaed thorefor. The 4 per cont. nds to be contiumed were promptly ved in & lurgo amount and regis- d anes issued therefor with the fuct of their continuaucestamped upon their face, but it was subsequently decimed advisable to extend the time for the receipt of the old ones to May 20, 1861, Tt was also found that for- «ign holders of the 6 per cent, bonds wero inclined to disposs of their in- sestments eather than to send them to the treasury for exchange, and the imanediate payment of so many bouds abroad being likely to cause a draén of coin from this country, ex- chaoge of the bunds in London was established, This plan forcontinuing the Gs has proved entirely satisfactory, there haviug been presented n due time for continuance at 3 per cent. intercst the amount of 8178,066.160, leaving to be paid fron, the surplus revenue $24,211,400, for which the treasury had awmple re- sources.

To secure this the bauk has garvisheod Toledo houses supposed to owe a balince to the defunct fiem.

Lineoln Journal, August 11 This community was somewhat startled yusterday morning over the rumor that Miss Minunie Williams, for a number of yeirsa university student in this city, and a daughter of Prof. A, D.

T¢ eminent oceulists of that eity in re- ward to her eyes. He made a thor- ough examination of them and came to tho conclusion that her case was almost hopeless, and that 1t was only a question of tine when she would loso hor eyesight. Upon her return home shu became despondent and soveral tines within the past week or two she is kuown to have sad that she preferred death to blindness. About one week awo she expressed a desire to visit her old college mutes and frionds in this ot Her father noticed that she soen in good spir- 1ts, and in fact happiee than usual, and deeming that u change of scenery ete., would prove beneficial, consented to her comivg, Uy arrival in the city sho went to the residence of Mes. Parks, on Q streot, at Which place she wade her home while in the eity. She was on owm “ streots almost every day, and thoso with whom she was iutimate y sl was unusually jovous Last Sundny she complained of having i severs at- tack of nouralyin, which lasted Uirough- out the night. She arose from bed at tour o'elock Monday morning, telling Mra Parks that she was going over to visit Mrs, Moore. Dinuer time wrrived, and, fatling to rewrn, Mus, Parks thought she proposed to spend the duy with her frisud; bue when tea time had come and passed and yet sho had not returned, Mrs, Parks became uneasy, aud bogan mak- ing inquivies, 1t was then learned for the first timo that Miss Willinins had not been to the Moore residence uor had she been seon during the day by any member of the fawly. Sho inteuded going home on that day ard Mrs. Parks thought it altogether likely that she had left on noon train, but to satisfy herself sho tolographed to Pr and soon learned that Minnie had not arnived. The father, knowing that his daughter had been brooding over the calamity that threatened her, feared that som thing bad happened arrived in this city Tucsday noon to learn that the whereabouts of his dunghter was unknown, aud that her sudden disappearance was weapped in the deepest mystery. Ho consulted Chiof of Police Lyman on the matter, aud that gentlewan spent tho after- noon and greater purt of the night in looking for the young lady, but his efforts were fruitless. As late as mid- uight Tuesduy, a Journal reporter met Prof Willinms at the Commercinl House, and oven then he thought his daughter was visiting some of her many friends in_ the city, and would report the ne<t day He also re- marked that if she was aware of the anxioty wanifested by her friends for hor safoty, she wmlhlyccrlmiuly have returned to Mrs, Parks’ residence be- fore that time, About 7 o'clock yestorday morning the mystery was solved, aud the ter- rible suicide was patent to the world. About this hour astock mwn named Hibbard, whilo fishing in Sult creck at & point near the slaughter house north of the university, discovered in the water what he first supposed to be the body of an animal, but which on closer examination proved to bo the body of Miss Williams. She was floating on the water with her face and one hand above water - her face very much swollen and distigurod, Ho threw lis fish-hook out and suc- ceeded in pulling the body to the shore. Ono of her legs was found to bo in a cramped postton while the other was straight, and one of hor slippers and her hat was missing, Mr. Hibbard notified Sherift Eusign at once, and soon the banks of Salt creok, where the body lay, was covered with people from the city who were anxious to know who the poor unfortun ate might be. The friends of the deceased, who had been anxiously looking for her during the day, repuired to the spot with tremb ling footsteps and bated broeath, fear- ful that the object of their search would soon be inund. Among the number presont was Professor Wil- linms, who recognized his child at onee by her clothing, A jury composcd of Maj. A. G. Hastings, W. W. Wilson, G, W, Ford, C. B. Beach, Cad Pace, and E, L.
