Commi nfs by the Tribune. Mr. Stevens' illuatratiou t-eenm to in ex ceedingly felicitous.

To curb this vicious proiien?i;y ami drive hank tlie black ravens from the lields wIith they would do mischief to those haunts wherein tliey are useful, is the "being's end aud aim" of ccire crows. Honor to scarcecrow-t I Crows are good and had hy turus; suaieuiows do uiui h good and no harm at all. And now to business: We diller radically with Mr. Stev-ns on the vital philosophy of (Jovei iimut expu titure. Mr. Stevens proposes a free (ilt of publio money to certain employes of tlie Government. The original proposition (twenty per cent, extra on their last year's earnings) would Lave required two millions of dollars; Mr. Stevens' modification thereof would take at least one million. Now all the money in the Treasury, in our view, has to Im earned in order to he epent. If certain parties are given $1, 000,000 extra out of the Treasury, certain other parties must pay 1, Odd 00i) extra into the Treasury. Mr. Stevens' proposition then, raises this question, V 1 1 jnstie lie sub served by taking $1,000,000 extra Irom the tax-payers aud dividing it among these Wash ington tax-consumers I" Ou that (jiiesiion, we are constrained to vote in the negative. We would like to gratity the Washington clerks; we cannot do it at tha expense of the American tax-payers. We believe the great mass of the taxes are paid by men who work harder and for smaller pay than the Washing ton cleiks that the appropriation urged by Mr. Stevens could only be nude at the ex pense of equality, justice aud the rights of the poor. Hence, we oppose it. Mr. Stevens' theory is radically different from ours. He holds that Governments cau make money at will not m-rely "coin money," but call it into being. The power of Congress to "regulate the value thereof which we hold to be apoer to declare the true value, from time to time conforming the legal to the actual standard he holds to be a power to declare every leaf iu our wo ids a dollar, and thereby make it the full equiva lent of an American bilver dollar. Of course, our notions of economy in ollicial management must seem exceedingly petty aud shabby in his eyes. When a Govermeut has Aladdin's lamp, why should it not toss full purses about as though they were pebbles ? Who doubts that a lucky pirate is more liberal in his disbursements than a poor farmer who has toiled forty years for less than a dollar per day of twelve to fourteen Louis' hard work? Naturally, the pirate thinks "the farmer a miserly, meau-souled skin Hint; but the farmer's Standpoint is different; aud he could not, if he would, lliug guineas aud doubloou3 to waiters and ostlers as the pirate cau well afford to do. We owe a national debt of twenty-five hun dred millions of dollars. Not a dime of this debt comes to us or to any one in whose per sonal fortunes we feel an interest. Bat the debt is righteously due; it is the price of our national salvation; it is to be paid by houest sweat and toil; and we are more than willing to pay our part of it. Call it a tenth of all the property in the country a mortgage of ten per cent, on every farm and every building aud we are ready to work while we live lor its payment, while we hope to leave some property to be taxed therefor until the last dime is paid off. We cannot consider a na tional debt a nationel blesaiug auy more than a personal debt ia a personal blessing. We greatly desire to pay off principal at the rate of one hundred millions per annum until there is none left to pay. We understand that piy ing debt means harder work, more frugal living, less considerable accumulations of properly thau if we did not owe. But Mr. Stevens has a very different notion of debt. Our two thousand millions of interest-beaiing national debt he holds cau be extinguished by offering the holders green backs for their bonds, dollar for dollar, and thereupon refusing to pay interest ou them a day longer. That is to eity: For a debt which specitically draws iuterest in gold at six per cent, per auuum, the principal being payable Within twenty years at furthest, he hulls that we can tender the lace iu greenbacks drawing no interest at all, and payable never, aud if our creditors do not acoept these we may tell them to whistle for their money. LU calls this paying we deem it swindling so barefao-id that no blackleg in New York or in Washing ton could rtsort to it without being cut by his fellow blacklegs as a low, contemptible villain. It is iLevitable, therefore, that our notions of "twenty per cent, (or any per cent.) extra" sliould diller widely from iho.-e of Mr. Stevens. Taxing JSonds. Prom the Pittsbury Commercial. At a time when the Government was hard pressed on all sides, and its liuancial necessi ties most urgent, it called on the people not capitalists merely but everybody, to give their money aud take its bonds; aud the call was responded to in various ways, to the amount of about twenty. live hundred million dollars, the average interest thereon being about six per cent., the bonds being mainly Five-Twenties. Without the money the Gov ernment could not Lave survived, and there was no other way of getting it. Nor was there any certainty that the Government would not, after all, go under; for the days were dark, and it was uo time for stopping to calculate coolly. There were those who did not hesitate to urge that whoever put his money into these bonds would draw a blank. And they are of those who are now clamoring for a Btep toward repudiation. The Govern ment gave good terms, but nobody at the time thought, and few will now couteud that, cou sideiiug everything, they were too good. It was a bargain a contract the consideration whereof, so far as the lender is concerned, was that that be should get the nominated interest, and ultimately Lis principal. There was a chance that he would get neither. Ou the other hand, Government agreed to pay, but everybody understood that the Rebellion must first be put down, and the life of the nation preserved. Few men in their cool momenta, operated on by no emergency, would choo-ie to lend money in this way at an average of six per cent, per annum. Now, however, if we do not destroy our credit by dallying with the repudiation idea, we may, perhaps, borrow as much or fund our debt at a less rate of inte rest. Put this depends ou the way we keep our faith. It is not an Auspicious cirsnmstanie that the House of Representatives, by the votes of all the Democrats and enough Republicans, Lave instructed the Committee of Ways flu I Means to bring in a bill providing for the col lection of a tax of ten per cent, ou the interest en these bonds, whereby the interest will Im reduced. The proposition is a blow leveled at our credit, especially abroad just where we should be most jealonn of it. Bo far as it goes, it is repudiation; for it violates a solemu apieenient. It is a proposition calculate! Feiiour-ly to impair, at the moment when tlie f tieiigthening of the national credit f-liould be the policy of everybody in the land, more especially tho.e acting for the (ioveriiinent. There is much claptrap talk about bnn Is en-aping taxation when every other descrip tion of property, including incomes, is taxed. Who of those who thus talk would take the bonds on less favorable terms under the cir-ciiliit-tances exi.-tiug at the time Governuint vii tually demanded the money? Aud whit scut of honor is it that prompts an individual or a nation, after the storm has b 'en weathered, to undertake to cut down the agred up in jate of interest on a forced loan? Ordinarily bends should not be exempted from taxation; and as a rule there should brf no way whereby money could escape its share 01 the common burthens. l!ut in this cae exemption from taxation was in a large degree the wherewith the nation saved its life; and who will say it Was too much to pay ? fc-ix hundred aud iitteen million of ths bands are held abroad. Would auyb ly repudiate the bargain which was an easy one for us, as ever body thought at the time on that ac count ? At home four hundred aud twenty five millions are held by th" banks, which are taxed as heavily as anyb dy. The remainder is held, not by the capitalists, but as a geueial thing by men of comparatively niod-Mt means. Is there any reason why the bargain with them should be repudiated ! The vital eoiiM deration which attaches to this question is the national credit. Tuat must be preserved at xll hazards. There will be no dilliculty iu funding the debt if we kp perfect faith. If we do not, the thirteen mil lions which the proposed ten per cent, tax would produce would be earned at an incalcu lable cost. The (iru'iiljack Doclrinc-Its Fun lumenlal F.rn:r. From the N. Y. Timm. The supposition that the legal tender-acts apply to the bonded debt of the Government results from misapprehension of their object and scope. From ihe veiy origin of the Gov ernment legal-tender acts have been pissed, their object iu every cave being to enable de fendants in fuits to pleal that ihey have male a lawful tender; but as the Government is not capable of being sued, and is consequently not under tlie necessity of tendering money iu legal pioceediugs, no lawyer or statesmau, or financier ever supposed that these ajts, whioh commenced with Geneial Washington's ad ministration, were passed with auy other view than to afford the means of determining the rights and obligations of parties who might In litigants in judicial contests. S iciety would be entirely unprovided with proper and suf ficient regulations to determine the relative rights and obligations of debtors and creditors if courts were not in existence, empowered to decide whether what had been tendered was lawful aud sufficient, or otherwise. But neither in any work on elementary law, nor in any opinion promulgated by auy court, nor in auy production regarded as authority iu any country, have these legal-tender acts been supposed to relate iu any manner to the obligations of the Government which passed them. The act of Congress of February 0, 170'i, pro vidt s that Spanish milled dollars of a certain Weight "shall pass current and be a legal ten der for the payment of all debts aud de mands." The act of June 2f, 18)11, provides that certain other coins therein enumerated shall pass current as money within the United States by tale, "for the payment of all debts aud demands." The acts of June 28, 1834, aud March 3, 1S43, use the same language appli cable to other coins. The Constitution re stricted the States from making "anything but gold and bilver coin a tender for debts," but was silent as to the quantity, weight, or description of such coin, aud Leuce the ne cessity for legislation on this subject by Con gress to establish uniformity in all the States as to what constitutes the debt paying me dium. But for such a restriction on the States, and for euch regulations one of the great objects of union would have been ini tiated. No one supposed that the general Govern ment could pay its debt in Spaui.-h milled dollars by weight, or iu such other foreigu dollars by tale, although as betwenu indivi duals and corporations, public and private, they were thus made a lawful tender for their publio or private debts. It would have ben deemed a violation of honor to apply an ordi nary legal-tender act to the solemn obligations of the Government, which hat defined pre cisely in its coinage acts what the dollar ws which it purported to pay. The debt due by a city corporation comes withiu the descrip tion of a public debt, and answers that call of the legal-tender acts of LSU2 which provides that the greenback currency shall be "lawful mouey and legal-tender for all debts public and private withiu the United States." The privilege of pleading such a tender in court was thus extended to the public debts of pub lic corporations. The act further provides, and hre it departs from its functions as a legal tender act, that fuch greerback currency shall be receivable for "all claims aud demands against the I.' nited States except for iuterest upon bouds, notes, and certi'hates of debt or deposit." What was intend-) 1 by claims aud d-jmau ls ? A debt asceitainod and fixed by a solemn undertaking is never referred to by such loose phraseology. It was intended to apply to that large mass of claims aud demands curreut aud floating for which no bond or other security had been issaed. When the Government isi-ues its promise to pay a dollar it means no other than the dollar fixed by its owu laws. A single test will set this uwter clear. Tin a:t of 102 provides "that the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby authorized to issue, iu addition to the amounts heretofore authorized, one Lundred and fifty millions of dollars of United fctates uotes, not bear ng iuterest, payable to bearer at the Treasury of the United States." These, it thou declares, shall be such tender. Now, what did the Government intend Should be thus promised by the greeuba-k and paid at the Treasury on demand ? No one supposes that it was auy other than the gold or silver dollar described in the act of lS:i7, and 1?4!. When, therefore, in its five-twenty bonds it proniUes to pay a dollar, the same dollar was unquestionably iutenle l. The word, as between itself aud thoe who leceive its promise.!, has no other siguilljatiou thnn that specified in the coinage acU. although as to "all claims aud demand" authenticated by officers of the Government, and (or which securities have not baeu issued, this temporary currency is made receivable. The adoption, therefore, of the greenback theory by the Democratic Convention will be a blunder as well as a wrong, because, although what is stamped on the back of greenbacks is calculated to mislead, yet, examination into the theory upon which legal tender acts are passed will sati.-fy fair-minded men that so much of it as relates to legal teuder has no mauijer of application to the debts of the Gov ernment, which, not being suable, cauuot plead a tender; and that so much of it as re lates to claims aud demands, refers only to the mass of lloating debts of a current nature which might be temporarily adjusted by a promise to pay au actual dollar at a future day, which dollar the creditor would ultimately be entitbd to receive at the place of desig nated paymeut, piovided he remained hoi ler ol tbe stcutity. In the case of an individual who pleal-i the leader ai.d makes the payment of a greeuba -k the discharge from the debt is iininedia'e and absolute, but although male receivable for claims and demands agaiust the Government, the Government is still the debtor fur an equi valent amount payable iu gold or silver dollars on tbe happening of resumption ou presenta tion of the greenback security. The Inju-lice f Taxing lion's. jfYoxi the VliiciuiD 2 rHin no. The Committee of Ways and Means, in re potting back to the House the J5atler-Cobb leMiluliou reducing the interest upon L'uited Stales bonds, in the form of a bill, say that they do so "iu obedience to au order from the House, and iu opposition to their best judg ment," aud that they "reserve to themselves the right, as members of the House, to oppose in every possible way the adoption ot the measiue, which they regard as hostile to the public interest and injuiious to the national character." The committee could not have expissed their (lb-approbation of the bill they were forced to report iu stronger language. But they have also framed it in such terms as to indicate to Lim that iuus precisely the meaning of a ten per cent, tax upon coupons. "J'o secure the collection of said tax," says the bill, "the amount of interest hereafter paid u ai'y bonds or securities ot the United Staes, beaiing in'eiest at six per centum shall beat tile rate of only fi ;e and a half per centum; bearing in'eiest at the rate of live per ceir um shall be at the rate of only four aud a half per centum; aud b aring interest at the rate of three per centum shall ba at the rate of only two and seven tenths per centum per annum;" aud a prov siou is added that "no higher rate of interest shall be paid on the national Securities, all conditions of such securities and all laws to the contrary not withstanding." Tlie bill reported thus de clares that the bondholders shall hereafter receive, in lieu of the iuterest specified ou the face of the national promise to pay, "a cam posiiiou at the ra'e" of niuety cents ou the dollar to borrow the expression with which an English journal characterizes the tax of sixteen per cent, recently imposed upon her by Die bai ki upt Government of Austria. To tbe foreigu bondholder, who purchased his ben is in the belief that the nation by which they Were issued would observe at least the letter of the obligation, the proposed mea sure would be simply a breach of g od faith, the consequevces ot which would be disas trous to ad concerned. The markets of Lou don, Frankfort, and New York cauuot ba far apart while the Atlantic: cable coutiuues iu use, and a depressiou on one side of the water must be followed by a corresponding depressiou on the other 8:de. The European stock exchanges are more sensitive than the American to iu lluences affecting the marketable value of United States bonds, have much less faith in the purpose of the Government to pay them according to their letter and spirit, and will throw them upon our bauds if alarmed. It needs no prophet to tell a business man the effect upon values of the forced sales of oue or two hundred millions of the six or eight hun dred millions of bond held abroad. Breach of faith with the foreigu bondholder will surely lead to a depreciation iu the value of the principal at least equivalent to the amouut netted by the tax, probably to a serious dis arrangement in business and perhaps to a commercial crisis. In the case of the American bondholder, the proposed abatement of interest, iustead of equalizing taxation, as claimed, would create a maiked inequality. As was shown by Mr. Blaine, in the speech we published the other day, more thau seven hundred aud fifty mil lions of the bonds being held by national banks, savings b?mks aud insurauce com panies, are already heavily taxed. Moreover, the act of March 2, lb(i7, expressly provides that iu estimating "the gains, profits aud in come of any person, there shall be included all income der lved from interest upon notes, bonds or other securities of the Uuited States" arid "the amouut of all premium on gold aud ccupins." Thus every person residing iu the Uuited States aud every citizen of the United States wherever residing must pay at least five per cent, upon every coupou he collects. Why should Le be mado to pay fifteen per cent ? The theory, even if it were founded in fact, that the national securities held at home are mainly in the hands of wealthy capitalists would afford no ground for an enactment so nujiist iu its operation; for Wealthy capitalists, who lend their money to the Government, ought not to be punished for doing so by beiug taxed more heavily than capitalists who invest their fortunes elsewhere. JSut it is not the tact that the Uuited States bonds are so held. A larue nronortiou of them are held bv noor jieup e, or uy ji'-i'pie m luoneiiiie circum stances, either directly or indirectly through their interest in savings bank, iusurauoe companies, or national bauks. It is these pecq le, who cauuot change their investments so readily lis moneyed men, whom the Butler Cobb proposition will rob. The Western mau invests h ss iu permanent securities, because he turns over his money o'teuer thau the more cautious ci'izens o older communities, but in the Kf t it is otherwise, lb-uce the op position from the liast to i'endletou's scheme of repudiation, which Messrs. Butler and Cobb have done no little to bolster up, if reports from New York may be relied upon. (Jmiit sinii lie vocation A Parallel. Fiom the JV. Y. World. Nearly seven hundred years ago, soon after the accession of Richard I to the tbrom of England, a number of Jews thronged from all paitsof the kingdom to Loudon, chiefly for tlie purpose of seeing the coronation of that l'riuce. Intolerance a sin from which the world yet suffers was very rife among our Lalf-baibarous ancestors then, aud the Jews were foi bidden to present themselves on the occasion. A few of them had the temerity to do so in disguise, however, but they were discovered, and Ike infuiiate populace at once aro-te in their uuau might, indiscriminately pHinden'rg And murdering the Jews of Ln- I don. lids led to a similar emin'c at lor1:, where, aiter Laving suffered much from t'i aioleiiceof the roughs of that d iy, the Je v were permitted by the Governor of Yo k Castle to take refuge within that fortali whither they removed, with their families aud effects. Now it sperxis that tbe leaders of the mob were indebted to the Jews, and Bi, by cou'eiit of tlie Sheriff, who was also probably a bor rower, they attacked the castle But so hideous were their manifesta'iom of ferocity that the Sheriff repeut-d when he saw their cruel impulse, and revoked his orier. Never tbele?s mob law prevailed. The .Tewi were pressed 11 pen iu their stronghold until they could ho'd out no longer, and th-n, by advize of tbeir chief Rabbi, tiny all, ;o the ii'miler of five huii'liid, destroyed their wives and children, and tht u put au eud to ih-ir owu lives. An edict Against the Jew-, and a revocation Of the edict when popular opinion set iu Against it, were abn mat ked incident in the military career of Geueial Graut. There is no evidence, so far as we are aware, that he ever I bu k-mailed the J uvs, or that he was in debted to thun when-lie drove theni from tlie (iinips of the army; but irr that act we see a curious and instructive proof that the world has not made progress in every direetiou, alter all, and that a leader of American armies in the nineteenth coutury can be as intole rant, if not as cruel, as a fanatical boor of the twelfth. The j aT.illel is brief, but it is so lli dent to "point a moral," it not to "adorn a tale." Tlie Jews upon whom Graut pa-sed the gra tuitous insult iu question did not commit suicide to the number of ;"00, or any other number; but, ou the contrary, the act of Grant vaa a suicidal oue for himself, as will doubtless be proved when tbe votes for the Chief Magistracy come to be counted and in this we have au antithesis as well as a paiallel.
