BisTTiiE financial statement of the Govern ment issued on Fridav last announces a re duction of the public debt during the month of February to the amount of twelve millions of dollars. This is rather more than the average monthly reduction, and is at the rate of $144,000,000 per year. Thus the national obligations are rapidly diniiniihed, and the public credit elevated. Does anv one hope for a better record from a Democratic Admistration ? The appointment of Scth I. Comly for Collector of Customs at Philadelphia, to succeed Col. lorney, appears to be entirely satisfactory. Mr. Comly is one of the lead ing merchants of the city, and enjoys the en tire confidence of the business community. In his political relations he is a thorough llepublican, but is not connected in any way with the factions or rings of State and city Iolities. Strong efforts were made to abtain the appointment of a more active politican, without regard to the commercial interests, but the President very properly disregarded them ancTselected a gentlemen of acknowedged business capacity and personal fitness, as well as of undisputed Republican orthodoxy.
