The Treasury ktatcuieut of JuauSOtli show3 that the National debt has been reduced $101,000,000 tie past yenr, as ocnlost 138.000,COO dnrius the tireaul inn rear, nod this lu pftito of n reduced inooiuo nod decreased expenditures The result makes it plain that our cus- ioma.aud ititerual revenue taxes are still far' too bigh for the uuedn of the Govern- tnent. "So vast a surplus In both danger. ens and oppressive two considerations which ought to have prevailed with Con. grfss to pass a carefully considered rev enue bill during tho 6esion just closing. Bat the impending election was' toa much for the virtue of the "average Cougrtssmn.' Perhaps tho tax-burd-eutil people may yet have something to say about it which will surprise the time-serving politicians of both parties Mn. Randall submitted in the IIouso of Itepresetatlves a summary of tho np uroiiriatlou bllU similar to that nub- allied in the Senate by Mr. Allison. By this it Appears that the whole amount ol oppropiiations for tho expense! of the government for tho last fiscal year was $230,187,00(1.00 and the whole amount appropriated directly for tho current fiscal year SlbG,lC0.177.01. Mr. Allison stated the total amount lor this year nt $103,201,087.13. Tho discrepancy be tween Mr. llaudall'ii total and that of Mr. Allison is accounted for by tho fuel that Mr. Allison assumed n further ap propriation lor tho navy to cover the last six months of the year. Adding this amount, which is nearly $3,000,000, nnd the SCO, 000,000 unexpended balaucea of former appropriations for pensions re appropriated, brings the grand total ap propriated for the fiscal year already en tered upon to $259,201,087, as stated by Mr. Allison. Tun failures for the six months ending July 1, as compiled by tho mercantile agency of B. G. Dnn & Co., show a con siderable incresfco in number nnd a very Jarge increase in unount of liabilities. Tho number of failures throughout the United States wero 5,510, as RgAiust 4,037 for the first six mouths or" 1833, au increase of 873, or 18 per cent, Tho liabilities for the first half of 1881 show an eaormous increase, amounting to $124 000,000, or nearly double tho liabili ties of the first six nioutbs of 1883. which were SCO. 000,000, The great iucrtofo in liabilities is attributed to tho rfcent panic, which has mainly centred in New York, in which locality tho liabilities ol tho last six nioulhs comprise more than one-half of those noted in' the entire United States in that period. As com paro 1 with previous yean the ro Is only a slight increase in many places in the failures and liabilities, from which it is inferred that the disasters, Humorous as tuoy have been, have not been nearly so universal as h".s Eenerul'y kecu sup posed. In Foreign Lands. Frcm our own Correspondent. 1;;don, England, Juno 27, 18SJ. Should we sidle, without explanation, Jhatthi city of Loudon contained a resident population of only about 50,000 people, the readtra ot the Advooatk would be very cer- tain that cither we or the compositor hid made a blunder; but such Is aetunlly the case. The jurisdiction of the Lird Mayor extends over a territory between one anil two en,uare miles in extent, with n resident population ol little morn than 90,000, at the time of tbe last renaus, but growing smaller each year. This, altlinngli being all that la legally known as the "City of Loudon," of course comprises only a email part ol'thf grjat metropolis, which extends ubout ten miles from east to west and nearly cs far from north to south. The olhcr porlioi s are, however, under somo dozen or more different municipal governments and are, technically spcakiug, as distinct from "the city" as it Is called, as is New York from Brooklyn, A reform bill is now before Parliament, however, which prnpogos to unite all these separate municipalities into one mammoth corporation containing near- ly three and a hall' million souls. In spite of its diversity ol authority, London is, popularly speaking, a well governed city auduur friends of New York might well copy Ilia cleanliness of its streets. It is world in itself and In its Hood of humanity, one may well exclaim: ' Tho buhhlo broken on tho wave, Tim It-allot r.illlnv In tun wind, Is nut more lost lo skill than 1 WHliin tills tuuruiuruus multitude." With a population tulllcieiit for a small na lion, situated on both sides of a broad, deep liver, only a comparatively short distaure from the ocean, she imtsesrcs great natural advantages, and it would bo difficult in imagine anything in existences on the face of thoeailhas the pioduct ufscianco or art which cannot be found hero. It is not. however, in any sense of the word a beau tiful city. London lo nnd smoke succeeds la blackening everything, nnd but few of its tine buildings are fair to look Uwin while insny of tloxo which appear the best are but a hollow chain, haying stucco fronts. The tourist visiting London for tho first t lino will probably ha somewhat at a less to decide whet to tee first; but lo most peo ple Westminster Abbey, located on the north, or rather west side of the river, (which as this point Cows nearly north) will prove tbe greatest attraction and claim their first atlestion. It was founded ia the sixth century by Sebert the Saxon, wbos tomb it still contains. It was de stroyed-by the Banes, bus waa rebuilt by Edward the Confessor In 1065. Like all ol the old cathedrals and churches, it wts built In. the form of a cross, with tbe cbat- ctl and .high altar to the east and the nave to the west. The chapel of Henry VII was built in 1502 and occupies the extreme eastern end. Edward the Confessor's chap. (I occupies the position beyond the transept, usually given lo tbe choir in churches of this form, while tho choir is placed in th eastern en I of lbs nave. This, tooths with the numberless marble stutues, mem srlal tablets, eta , with which the entire interior ia lined, greatly injures the arch! tictural rlF.cl, and it Is chietly from assncl ation. that the visitor is impressed. In fact It ! frtqueully spoken ol by the irreverent of London as '-The old crockery shop." But In spite of all this, it Is a grand build ng, and that mao who can aland unjnoved .1 -;thia.lU sacred walls mutt ba a steic in dssd. It has a total length mf J75 feel.wltb a wiittn at tho tranerpt of 200 feet. In the several oliapela lie buried no lets than twcnly-eighV.klnKi and" (juteus, Including Sebettthe Snxoor ErtKsrd the Confessor, Henry the VII (whoso elinpel la spoken of .by Bacon nsenoof ho ilatlleil end daln tleit tomba In Europe,) Queen Eliiabetb, Mary Qurcn of Scotts, Henry the V, Ed ward tho, lit and many others, together with royal princes andimany of tho proud est nublea of the land- Out It ia not In these crumbling monuments of royalty that the Greatest Interest of the Abbey lies. In tho South transept la tho "Poeta Corner,' and here we notico moiliihiehts or tablets to Gnrrlclc, Addison, Gay, Dickens, Slialtta pere, Mncaulcy, Thackfry, Goldsmith, 8outhpy, Campbell, Mi'ton, Gray, Spencer. Chaucer and mnny others, some of whom are burled In the Abbey and some else- where. A flno bust of Longfellow has just been added by tho English admlrera of the great American author. Compsro the nn- dying Influence wielded by those whose names adorn the "Poets Corner," with the power of those, mighty kings and princes whose costly tombs are found in the other a portions of the Abbey, and who will not eay surely, "The pen is mightier than the sword." Between the Abbey and the river are the Houses of Parliament, erected about fi.rly years ago, at an enormous expense. The stono used, however, was of so poor a quail ty that already much of the fine carving has crumbled away and the building ap. peara about the ssme ego as Its neighbor, the Abbey ,in which William the Conqueror was crowned, more than eight hundred years ago. Although the external design of tho Houses of Parliament is good and Its appearanco, extending for nearly 1,000 feet along tho bank of the Thames, very fine, yet the interior arrangements are not In any way worthy tho great people whose representatives meet there. The IIouso of Lords is DO by 45 feet and 45 feet In hlght with tho throno between tho entrance doors and tho "Woolsack" upon which the Lord Chancellor sits, in the center, in front of the throno. The Lords occupy the red leather benches which rise In tiers on either side, but are provided with no desk eci'ommodatinna or other conveniences, Tho IIouso of Commons is 15 feet shorter than loo House of Lords, with tho tamo general arrangement of leather covered benches. Including tho galleries there are seals for about 500 persons; but as the House consists ol 050 memburs, should there be a lull attendance, 150 must necessarily sit mi tbo floor provided they could find room there. Westminster Hull, built In tho 1 1 th century, and Incorporated into the present edifice, has been the c'lief thealie of tho great law history ol England. Here Wallace, Moro and King Charles I were condemned. Here Hastings was tried and after seven years acquitted. Probably no spot In England has been tho sceno of ro many events Involving tho destiny of the nation. From Iho Houses of Parliament it is but a sho-t distance northward, turough Parlhv meut street and Whitehall, to Charing Cross and Trafalger Square, with Its loun tains and its magnificent monument to Lord Nelson. Just beyond is tho National Gallery ,rich in the productions ol L.indsecr, Turner, Gainsborough, Copley, Reynolds aud others of tbe British School ami con tainiug many excellent specimens from the older continental artists. Parsing from Trafalgar Square along the Strand and through Fleet street, about mile, nearly parallel with the river, which here flows eastorly again, wo reach St. Paul's CaH1e1lr.il, erected 1675 to 1710 at a ceil of about three and a half millions of dollars. Although it 19 a magnificent structure, 500 feet in length, with a breadih at the transept of 250 leet anil a hight of over 4M fet to tho lop of tho cross which surmounts its mammoth dome, the Grit leeling of the visitor is apt to be one of dir n pointment. Its nave, with those mnssiva rquare piers, has not the solemn majesty of Y. rk Minster or the beauly and grace ol WeatMiiostcr, and were it not for tho monu ments ond other evidences of the character of the place which are seen on every hand. it would not be difficult Tor one to imagine him'elfin a giganlio ware house instead of a christian church. Many of the military heroes of England find a restinc place within its walls, and dozens of monuments are placed herein memory ot those whoso remains are deposited elsewhere. Th cypt contains the tombs of Nelson and Wellington, tho taller directly beneath tho dome. The tourist who is ambitious enougli lo ascend to the dome, will be rewarded with a magnifient view of Loudon smoke and fog, extending at least a thousand feet in every direction; while th'se who continue tho ascent lo tho ball, will find Ihut it savors far more of labor thau pleas ure. We speak from experience. A short distance east of St, Paul's is tho Bank of England, one ol the largest insti tutions of its kind in the world, covering eight acres of land and having a capital ol $70,0011,000. It is irreverently siwken of as "Tho old lady of Threadueedle street.' About half a mile southeast ol the Bank, is locateil the Tower or London, winches a orllfied palace, has figured largely in tho history of England ever since lis erection hy William the Conqueror In 10S0, It covers 12 acres of ground und compilses IS towers, 4 of which ore in the oulcr ward and 12 in the interior. It was iuonenfthe former that the young princes were murder- o.l and in one of 1I10 latier that the Duke 0 Clarence was drowned In a bull of wine The lower is now used as a military inus eum ami its armory contains many speci mens of ancient anil modern implements of war, Including a Urge number of equestrian lUures in armor. It is the finest collection ofitskiudiu the wotld. In one of the in ner towers is kept the Crown Jewels anf iiojuna, value.) at S15.O0O.O0O. The rol leition comprises a large number of crowns, ic-pters, etc., of variom oges. Numerous eminent iwrsons have been imprisoned here, many never ti go forth agslu except 10 execution. In St. Peter's chapel, near by. some of these unfortunate victims were buried. Here lie the remains of Anne Boylenj. Catherine Howard, Thomas Crom well; Lady Jane Grey end many others, Macauley remarks that there is no sadder spot on earth than this little cemetery The British Museum is about two mile northwest of tho tower and three-fourths of a mile north of Trafalgar Square. The col lotion, which is without doubt thalargist in tiie world, has nerrr been catalogued, mero list ol its millions of exhibits would require several large volumes. It should he a study for weeks Instead of tho lew hours the tourist Is able to give to It, Its libraries number over ono million volumes and its manuscript rooms contain many interesting documents, such as the original copy of Magna Charts, etc Of its myrla l ol interesting exhibits, wo can only men. tiou, without description, a few of the more nroinlnent.

FROM WASHINGTON Special to the Cakijon Advocate. Washington, July 5, 1884. Tbo American people seem to take it for granted that for the summer mouths at least, the President is j .stifled in ab dicating bis power and leaving the Gov ernment to take care of itself. Of all the line of Presidents, from Washington down to the niuetcenth. Grant whs the first chief magistrato who had ever taken a summer juuketiug. Mr. Lincoln in tbe last summer of his life slept occas ionally nut nt the Soldier's Home, but In his four years' administration, bo never ltft Washington. Nor wns it particular ly because of the existenco of war aud the supervision of military affairs that detained him, because these duties could as well have been performed from any other headquarters, but Mr. Lincoln would not establish the precedent of laaving the Capital and the duties of h a high position, simply because of its cli mite aud its malarious accompaniments. I l the Washington of to-dny is infinite ly more healthlul than it was then, and the necrology of the Whito House 8h ws hut two Presidential demises that of llirriion who wns killed, not by malaria but by the offlce-bunUrs. nnd that of Taj lor who nte too heartily of Ice-crenm that was flivored with the same villain mis vanilla, that afterwards poisonod Mr, Buchanan ana others at the National Hotel, aud is now slaughtering the youth and beauty of our land. This leads me to mention that Mr. Arthur, who has never spent n summer in Washington, never intends to. As soon as Congress is done ith its woik, the President will go in the "Despatch' straight to Newport, nnd during the summer will go up nnd down the eastern coast,fishing around Poppysquash Point, digging clams at Sqnaulum and eatirg them at the Out. How the Presidtut will upend his days of retirement after tho 4th of March next, is a problem which even ho cannot solve. He can baldly assume any prominence in ti e political world, for tho dignity of lis relirement will be abovo that, whatever it may have been in the time of John Qninoy Adams. By th first of September tho Wash ington Monument will have attained a height of COO feet, when tho shape of tbe magnificent structure will be cbangfd to that of a pyramid, to oontinuo no for 55 feet to tho apex, which will be tho completion of tho 11 onnment proper. Tbe dedication of this grand memorial vtill take place on tbe 22nd of February next, just thirty years from the date of the laying of the corner-stone. One of tbo peculiar and appropriate features of tho dedicatory exercis will be the de- livery nf the oration by Hon. Robert O. Wintbrop, of Boston, tbe came orator who officiated thirty years ago. The ceremouiea attendant upon the dedica tion will be the most elaborate that have ever taken pi ice npou a like occasion in this country, Congress having by joint resolution appointed a commilte of both houses, empowered to make such ar rangements as will be appropriate to so anoint an occasion, The whole cost of the monument when completed will be not less than $1,250,000, but to the ever lasting disgrace of some of those who had tbe manipulation of tbe funds when tba original Monument Association un dertook the work, about nuo-tbird of this amount was utolen from the fund. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, The delegates to the Democratic Na tlonal Convention, assembled in Exposi tion building, Chicago, on Tuesday last. Tbe coaveution was called to order at 12:40 p. m., by ex-Senator Barnum, chairman of tbe National Democratic Committee. After prayer by Rev. Dr. D. O.

The vote of that State wns then added under the unit rule and Kelly and the fild were beaten 415 to 250.

JH. ltAl'ail.lt Leliigliton, June 4, 18S4. o Cash vs. Crodit. An exchange rcry truthfully remarks that "To pay as you go id a blessing. To get trusted is a curso. If men and women would give tho matter of paying bills as they are contracted, or of buying on credit, that consideration tbe subject demands, and carefully compare tho two with'a view to a proper understanding, they would discover the advantage nrcruing from cash payments and Ihe disadvantages resulting from the credit system, the very thing which keeps up prices. In everything there is a com pensating principle which equalizes dis crepancies, but in the credit system tins dootrino has a moro disastrous cflect than mere superficial examination discloses. The man who buys on credit and sells on credit pays more for bis goods and charges more for articles eold than ho who pays cash nnd receives cosh. Many men und banks eyen make, their profits by loans ol money on account of, and caused by, tho credit svstcm, which creates a middleclass of men who stanl between the buyer and seller, and becomes a necessity caused by the system which pays not cash for Its pur chases nor sell: its commodities lor cash. The cash system is the remedy, end the only ono against failure and and loss, aud the crodit system is a iliseaso which saps the very foundation of trade and business.
