2 TOE HEW YOEK PRESS. DITORIAL OPINIONS OF THE LEADING JOURNALS OPCN CURKBNI TOPICS. OMFILKD RVKIiT DAT FOB XTBNINO TRLFORAPU, , Oar National Debt From the Trihunt. The luct tuatour na'ionut debt was reduced more than one hundred and twenty-tour millions of dollars during the jeitr which closed on the 1st Instant, 1 believed to be without a parallel in the annals ol nations just emerged from a tremondoug, dcsolutin war There Is nothing like id In our own history. If wo could no on at this rate, we should pay off td last aimo of our debt ulthla the next twenty years. Everj one supposed that the debt would be largely increased during the year just closed by the payment ot arrearages, claim, suspended accounts, etc.; while fie payment ot' volunteers muH.cri'd out of pprvtce since August 1, I8i', munt have absorbed a I least one hundred mil lions of dollars, aud probably lar more. But the anouuta aetuHil.y due to contractors and on other unliquiuaU-d accounts were lcs tban was suppoheii; wuilo ciHims tor food and other pro perly taken by our commanders irom IohI men appear to have bevn BcrdtinupJ with aildii'inta rigor. lX'sjite itie ur eat reduction of taxes and the estr bountv juc voted to our funhiul de fenders, it is now clear that ourdebt is uot likely to exceed the ascrtaincd amount. For, wnile some oiaims utiri nrreiiruges reioain to be paid, there are come millions now due fro n rJoiituiru railroads lor ro.linj; stocs, etc., old them d? the Government, mo-t ot which will ultimately be realized; while it is most unlikely that eo many claims, suspended accounts, etc., remain to be anfus.cd as have alieady b'.e.i settled and satis lied. And, wliil. tlie preat reductiou ol tiv.es just f fleeted musL make a laree holn in the re ceipts ot future yearn, we trus. this will soon be filled bv the increased production of manv articles still taxed, aud bv the augmented cili ciency ol our laxiug machitipry. Cotton aud tobacco will i ay tar more in the onsuiut; tuau they did in the last year; income will probably pay nine; so will the receipts ot railroads, theatres, etc. Aud, it Couitres hart seen tit to reduce tho tax on whisky from two dollars to filly cents per crallou, we believe that article would also have .mid more. Tho present tux is so high that it is mote generally evaded than paid. On one point, Sesretarv McCtilloch will not permit us to understand him. Why should he persist in keep in; -o larae an umount as $137,317,332 in the Ireasnrt, while he is payiru interest on $118 (;ii.r,470 ol temporary lo.m. is our standing pei''cxur; and no.v, wlieu his heavy income tax is about to come in, his doing it seems to us a urave mixdcme.tiior. He ouRht to tiave pa d oil at. least S1U(),UU0,UJU more than he dul up to the 1st instant, thereby decreasing by some $j,0iiii,0t() toe annual interest ol the debt ana Driuinig its principal below $2,70O,Oi.O,l)iiu. Aloney i hat has been used in paying oil' our debt can nei her be emoez.'e I nor used to indite rpec ilatiDn; or it so used tho Uovernmeur is In no nc responsible. How much loniret must we ak why the Treasury balauce is uot reduced aud tho natioual deot paid olF to the tartoet encut consistent with tho prompt sat si ac .ion of all current demands '! Administration oi the Finances. From the I'tmtt The 1st of August statement of the public debt of the United States, which we published yesterday, exhibits some exceedingly gratiiyiug results. In ihe last two montus tho Secretary has been able to extinguish, by actual cash pay ments Irom his revenues, the large sum of thirty-seven trillions. In the twelve months ending the 1st instant, he has extinguished one hundred aud twcnty-lbur million?. The present aggregate unprovided lor is $2,033,003,000. Last summer, at its maximum, it was $2,7o7,000.000. The surplus revenues of the current fiscal year will, it is believed, further reduce the total below $2,500,01)0,000, of which about one-tilth will be ia the torm of Treasury circulation and deposits tree ot Interest (or nearly to) to tbp (ioverument, leaviue a lunded deot of only two thousand millions to bear interest; While Mr. McCtilloch in the last two months, as in tie pr ceding month ol May, h;is oecu able to extiugni-h tuo public debt at the rate of $18,000,(110 per month, ho lia- also accomplished the next best uood work oi funding into tue pcimaneiit stocks ot the United States $!(, 814.000 ot hi- temporal? obligations making ttio toial conversions in this wac since this tmo last year about $134,0110,000. Dur-ng the tuud inn pi cci ss o the last two months, lib sales of United Stut"S 0 2Us at tho going rat-s ot the market; were about $34,000,000, and bis ex changes oi the same btoek lor 7'30 per cents about $14,010,000; aud not withstanding these operat ous, the market tor all our gold-bearing 8.oe.K9 has steadily advanced. It is fccircely expected that everybody will bi satisfied wuh all that the Secretary has done sud it doing in the way ot extinguishing ant landing the public debt, and gradually reducing the Treasury circulation of legal teiiiera, bin e feel quite sure thar the country at lartre will find nmeh canoe oi gratulation and increased confidence in the present statement. 'The Superiorly ot American Iron-clnd Monitors, aud the folly ol American Soll-GloriGcatlon. From tlie Uerald When busiuess men or a mercantile firm find a good market or engage in a protitable enter prise, or when an invent. ve genius makes some great oiscovery, it is usual lor them to avail themselves ot the benefits of their enterprises and discoveries without letting the whole world know the secret of their prosperity. Tin .American Government has been at immense expense in experimeuang upon and tesuug the value ot oeriain kinds ot iron-clad warships and monitors, aud at last its ellorts htve been crowned with succiss. The Monadnoek and jHtarUonomut.uou-ulad monitors, have made sue cesbful a" voaes one to Caltiortua, through the Pacific and A lantic,aud the other has crossed the Atlantic to Europe, in both instances their qualities as sea Koiug vessels were full tested, , ana tney were piuuuuuceu ov scientino an i exic rieaced men to be the pi riectiouot invulnerable sea war t bins. A prominent othcial in the Navy ltepartnient accompanied th i iilaiUonoma in her uuke Ing tr'P to Europe, aud he has b3en especially dwunguibhe I lor his urbanity aud i courtesy to tue crowned beads of Karopo and their A.diu.ralty Ulcers. Eery particular con- ' cemliig the construct on of the hull, the ma cLinerv, draught i f water, consumption of fuel, 'calibre o eimaiueuc, speed, and seaworthiness. was explained, to the infinite admiration of the English and French naval othcers, aud to the esueclal seligloi ideation of those who pnioved tho task of showing up the vessel. The Londrn 'limes is ncesslvtly laidatory unon the completeness and etfectiveness of ihe JUuiTitotumui, md decla es that against such Yt80ls the coa-ts and harbors cf Kuelaud are comparatively d tecseioss. ut course tno t;ng- lish Admirslty will take immediate steps in annnlv tueif navy with vessels constructed upon the puuciple of tha American irou-clad monitor; France wdl do 'he samp, and in a brie! space ot time we will ond that all the advantages vie have Kiined by our enormous expenditures and tedio"s experiments in perrocung acom mint upaponir iron-clad war shio are eniOTed by European ua i n without thair incurring either th exoenso or oulav of exper niontltur imnn the vssels. In Europe it Is extremely H.flinult tor strangers to ob aln acccs to tlie Ooverunenl dockyard-; but in our case, ta order to eratifv some soiiBel ss fecllue Of vanity and Boli-glorv, we parade all the uiiuntiiB ot one of our grandest Laval invention to th curious and gnpina eies o( toreien ns, i ho, we km not bow soon, roav bcome our enemies- llo'.n Fraice and Kntland havo attempted to oonstruot iron clads; but their attempts have in mo-it ta-tnee proert compie'e lailures. RnHuii, a'.ways self coi ceited, nad her ees opened tooursjperlorlty in sbipbi ildlng by the appearance in her ator of our rleeta of packet and clipper ships, and finally by tho performances ot the yacht America. She will now adopt our stylo of Iron, claos, and thus we shall be deprived of the material beuphta Brliog from oir Important naval lnven-lons ai.d d scovorics. iho truth u, our naval vessels ot new and Improved con ftiuction should very rarely be allowed to bo shown up in lorcign ports. We cannot afford to set ourselves up as patterns fro n which the old Admiralty logics or tireat Dr.taln can cooy. Our naval Inventions are a source of our power and strenetb as a nation, and the secrets ot the merits aud peculi r construction of our naval vessels idiould leoiain sealed In the Navy Department aud no cxposod to forei"n nations hat are notoriously Inimical to Amcricau In terests. As things are now conduetcd our finest, war vessels, like the Miantonomah, are sent lo Europe to (anli'ate some private specu lation or to leeure contracts by some naval constructor or naval officer who' has reined his post in our navy. Favoritism is shown by our Navj Department in tnls respect to an ex tent never to be lound In tho navy of any other country. Ibis evil is at once abominable and rtisirrsceful, and should be no longer tolerated. Our own saiety aud defense, depend uaon the inve'mve genius ol our people, and our dis coveries aud improvements in naval and mili tary warlaie should bo securely pioiected. Prussia keeps the secret of her destructive needle-gun to herself uo to this day, althouih it Is au invention of many years ago. Why should not on i (Jovermtietit in a like manner keep o itselt tho secret ot coustructiLg so powerful an engine of war as an iron-clad monitor? Peace in Europe. From the World. At last the Atlantic cable brings us something like a rational explanation and continuation ol itshasVy utterance in the subject of peace in Europe. Under the date of London, August 4, we are now inlormtd that negotiations for peace between Austria, Prussia, and Italy are going on at Prasuc upon a basis in no substantial respect differing fioin the. propositus put lurward sotno time since under the auspices of tue Emperor Napoleon. Austria, we nre told, is expected to surrender Yeuetia to Italy, aud Schleswig llolhttin to Prussia; to retire hoi self iroinTlietiei inanic ('oniederatinu: aud to consent io the loiniution ol tuo nev eoiii'Meraetes in (ier iiitmv, the one ot North lieiuinnv, under tin leadership and coutioi if I'tus.iia, the other ot ioutli Germany, tinuei'- ihe pr.niucv, as Is prolmbie, thouirli uiion this print tlie tele- prtipli is 81k nt, of the kingdom of lii'vuria.

Retiring tinally trom her pi-epoudei jiice b jtli in Italy and in 'tiernisuv, Austria, ot course, adniits the thoroughness oi her detent Dy the Piusso lruliHU alliance; but it may well be ques tioned whether h"r prospects lor the fiuure are not really oriehtened ra her tuau clodded by this result. In losing Veuotia she loes a popu lation ol some t.o millions umi u half of souls, but she gains in return a Ircedoin of aciion which she ba never possessed since she accepted the latal gi.t ol tho hist Napoleon, seventy years ago. 1W future now turns from the West tJthe Easr.

Prussii, by Die consolidition of North Ger many under her sway, will taie her plane at once in tho European hierarchy as a power of the very tirst rank, wh'le the oraatdzatiou of a South German Co-dederaiou will prevent, or at leust retard, her ucquisi'ion of such an over whelming mora' and military predominance in the atiairs ot Central Europe as would make her aggrandizement a direct and serious menace to Fiance, lialy, united Irom the Alps to the Adtia.ic, will acquire the right and the power to exercise aspee iv and decisive intlueuce intue lintil se tlm ent of the Papal question; aud this the more certainly that the luicst account! we I aveot the military situation immediately before the acceptance ot the propositions wuich have resulted in these couierences at Prague, prove the Italian armies to have played a positive, brilliant, ami most important part in bringing Austria to terms. Whdethe Prussians were push, ing on between the Kaiser atVicn"a and h:s last re'upe at Pcsth, ai.o were in the act of winning at Piesbuig a victory which was interrupted only by tin- news oi the acqu cscince of Austria In the all-ed (lemsnds, the Italians are reported to have dcleated the imperial torces at Bjrgo ui ValsuLOiia and Lcvico, aid tl.ereby to have placed themselves between tho Quadrilateral to the south and the Tjrol lo the uo'th, so as tully to ju'tily the assertion of the London 2'imwthat a single day's turtner iietay niitint nave ta d tue Austrian empire absolutely at the mercy of its ivaders. lntimte supplementary diplomatic transactions must, ol course, be looked lor be'ore the vast and sweep tig results here sua gestid can be tully worked .ut; but the com- letencss ol the l'russiau end Italian tiiumpii is no longer a ma tei ot question, and oar late news is extremelv satisfactory, because it seems to indicate tUat "the victors are likely to show themselves as sagacious and moderate in c o niuil as they have betn swilt aud strong in the held.

We think he will And the task a lery difficult one, an i in laci an impossible one.
