THE HCESTION STATED.
The project of taxing National Bonds
has been for several years persistently
agitated, mainly by Democratic dem
agogues, for want of better pabulum
on which to nourish popular discon
tent. The unconstitutionality of tax
ing thorn by State, city, or other local
authority has boon too plainly and
repeatedly deoided by the Supreme
Ceurt to make this mode of attack on
these securities feasible. We hope the
following plain exposition of the re
pudiatiug policy, of which the Opposi
tion have constituted themselves cham
pions, will bo cut out and kept
reference. Put it in the cars
lor
of
"Democrats" when thoy spout "down
with bondholders ! etc." Tho Tribune
remarks the whole effect is very plain
and ought to bo easily understood. If
the tax is authorized at the timo the
bond is issued, the creditor who makes
tho loan adds the tax to the rato of
interest, and it is paid not by the public
creditor, but by the ordinary tax payer.
If the bond is issued before the tax is
authorized, then it is an attempt by
the government to lessen tho rate of
interest they have agreed to pay by the
amount of the tax. In short, it is
repudiating to that extent thepaym&it
of the interest. A very small repudi
ation of interest is equal to a very
large repudiation of principal. Thus
an annual tax of one per cent, on our
bonds is a repudiation of one per cent,
of tho interest, which is equivalent to
repudiating ono-sixth or 16 J per cent,
of tho principal. This would lower
the value of our bonds and currency
from 72 in gold where they now
stand to 57 3-5, which would be
expressed by arise of gold to 185. A
tax of two per cent, would be equal to
a repudiation of two-sixths of the
principal, which would be expressed
by the fall of our bonds and currency
to 48 in gold, and the rise of gold to
208 J in currency. A tax of six per
, cent, which the Government would
have just as much right to impose as
one of less, would be a repudiation of
the entire principal. The effect of
imposing these taxes and reducing the
gold value of our debt and currency
would be that when we came to renew
our bonds, or to borrow again, it would
require a larger sum of debt to express
tho principal, and a larger rate of
interest to carry ,it. On the other
hand, as the national debt is a debt
due from the tax. payers to the
bondholders, whatever lessens the rate
of interest or amount of prinoipal
must of necessity benefit the tax payers
exactly in proportion to their liability
to pay taxes. As exempting Na
tional Bonds from taxation does lessen
the rato of interest and the amount of
principal exactly in proportion to the
pecuniary value of the exemption, it
follows that the benefits of the exemp
tion ore divided among the tax payers
precisely in proportion to their taxable
liability.. What can be fairer than
this? An attempt of a government
io derive a revenuo from its debts
would be on a par with the vagabond's
policy of living on the interest of what
he owes.

Last week the ''Democracy" held a
convention in Pittsburgh to enunciate
their doctrines and nominate local
ticket. They adjourned without doing
either. Having; no defined policy
they concluded to wait until after the
National "Democratio" Convention
should meet and declare a platform
whereon they should stand. This is
explanatory of the sbject humiliation
of the masses who compose the party
to their leaders. It would seem that
they dare not think for themselves.
Ask a "Democrat" what his politics
are and he says, "wait until after the
4th of July and I'll tell you I" How
very unlike the bold policy of the
Republican party, who are not con
trolled by expediency, or bad men,
but who having once adopted the pur
pose of making this a free government
and preserving it at all hazards, stead
ily move on in advance of their leaders
conquering and to conquer. Like the
7rioune we sympathize sincerely with
the "Democracy" in their troubles,
They have not decided whether to
nominate a Republican or a Democrat
for President ; whether they will stand
on the platform of gold or greenbacks;
whether their battle cry will be "Uui
vcrsal Suffrage" or "A White Man's
Government." Of course, Democratic
principles aro immutable when they
Iccide what they are.

One Albert G. Davis, a West Vir
ginia rebel, who had been captured and
imprisoned in Camp Chase for a time
during the war, made a speech to the
coDPer-Jolinsonists in '66. in which
he reviewed the administration of the
Government during the war from the
rebel standpoint. Coming to the mat
ter of finances, he exclaimed in thun
dering tones : "Who! Who! can tell
where the vast millions for which the
nation is now in debt, have been
expended? Into whose pockets have
they gono ? Can any one pretend to
tell ?" and pausing for a reply, a hard
fisted farmer, looked Davis in the face,
replied : "A part of it at least, was
spent in keeping you a prisoner at
Camp Chase. G d n you 1" Davis
collapsed.

Our "handsome" neighbor last week
devotes a column and a half of labored
argument in an attempt to prove that
resident Johnson is but carrying out
the policy of the murdered Lincoln in
his vagaries on reconstruction. He
weaves a subtle web of sophistry, but
his work is not strong. The intelli
gent reader will at once rend the
whole thing in pieces by asking him,
If you believe what you say, that
Johnson follows Lincoln's policy, why
did you rail at the 'buffoon and his
acts of tyranny' when alive, and after
wards applaud Johnson for doing the
same? You either prove yourself ig

HUM,
Washington, D. C, June 8. Sir:
I have the honor herewith to transmit
through you to the President the res
ignation of my office, to take effect
upon the qualification of my successor,
nominated by him and confirmed by
the Senate. Justice to myself and
respect for you require that I should
give you briefly my measures for so
dohiflr. Immediately after the Phila-
delDhia Convention, in 1860, there
were numerous removals ot Assessors
and Collectors throughout the country.
Thpv were induced bv political con
siderations, and produced a sad blow
to the reputation and elnmency ot the
revenue service. Tbey were made du
ring a recess of Congress, hud in all
cases regardless of my wishes as Com
missioner. I should have resigned my
offico long ago had I not yielded to
tbeiudgment of my friends who be
lieved thepublio good would bo pro
moted by my remaining in it. During
the session of Congress next after the
Convention referred to, many nomina
tions of revenue officers were mado to
the Senate bv the President, as there
since have been, all of them without
reference to any opinion I had of their
fitness, while my numerous recommen
dations for removals of Assei'snrs and
Collectors, even for the gnscst mis
conduct, have lieen almost universally
disregarded. In accordance with the
long continued practice of the Depart
ment the appointment bv the Secrota
ry of tho Ireasury of Assistant Asses
sorsInspectors and other subordinate
officers, in the several districts, are
made upon the nomination of the As
sessors and Collectors. This practice
is pist to those officers when faithful
insures harmony and cooperation, and
locates responsibility for success of the
Revenue laws. I do not object to the
practice, and refer to it only to illus
trato the importance of the offices of
Assessor an I Collector, nnd my ina
hi I it v under existing circumstances, to
elevate and control Ihe serviceot which
I have the ostensible charge. The
Revenue laws aro enforced in the
courts through the agency of the Uni'
ted States District Attorneys an I Mar
shals. Of these, numerous changes of
the character referred to in whut I have
said of revenue nffiers, have been made,
and in many localities with like re
sults over their appointment nnd con
tinuance in otlice. It is needless to say
that I have no control whatever, and
have no assurance that the services
they will render in tho future will be
more thorough and effective than tliey
havo been in tho past. In brief, Mr.
Swrctary, the revenuo laws,' even in
the most important localities, nre bad
ly administered by officers, either dis
honest or incompetent, appointed with
out my approval, and whose removal
I see no hope of securing. While I
continue in office, I am sought to be
responsible for their failures; although
I am absolutely powerless to prevent
thorn. For these reasons, ns well as
to seek tho rest which my health de
mands, and my efforts to discharge my
public duties have hitherto deuiei me
I am constrained to retire from t lit
Bureau in which I have labored since
near the date of this organization
With a full appreciation of the kind
ness which you have extended to me
iu all your personal and official rela
tions.
I am, Sir, very respectfully
Your obedient servant,

"Uur white rather, who art in a
white heaven ; hallowed be thy white
name, lhy white kingdom come
Thy whito will be done ; give us this
day our white daily bread and forgive
our white brethren who diner from us
and carry out Thy curse on the colored
population. Lead us into white
temptation to oppress the blacks and
deliver us from Republican and negro
evils: for Ihine is a white kingdom
Thine is white power; Thine is white
glory, for ever and ever, Amea.

The Republicans of Fayette county
held their nominating convention at
Uniontown on Monday of last week,
For Congress, Joseph M. Thorn iwon
of Favctte, received 31 votes, and
Hon. John Covode 22 votes. Subse
quently the friends of Mr. Thompson,
at his suggestion, withdrew his na no,
and John Covode was unanimously
nominated.
Mr. Covode received the nomination
in Indiana ronnty, which secures for
him tho District.
The House his been pushinr rapid
ly through the Tax bills, and has now
arrived at the clauses relating to special
taxes. , The work upon these sections
goes slowly, as every , proposition in
volved in them is contested by the
advocates of , the interests aSecte I.
Gen. Butler yesterday gave notice ot
his intention to move the postponement
of the bill till next session. If the
House persevere, however, the end of
next week will see the bill complete.
The Dayton Ledger, Vallandig-
ham's organ, says of that branch of
the Democratio party which it repre
sents: "If a 'War Democrat' of the
Marble-Halpine 'flaunting lie' school
is chosen standard bearer ot tho party,
his defeat is inevitable, because the
wing known as tho Peace Democrats
will not support him ; if at all, at
least with no degree of zeal and they
are a power in the land."
NkarLy two thousand immigrants
arrived at New York on Friday and
Saturday.
There can be no e-rair L.vL.
ness than an indulgence in a talk of a
war of races, and no greater sham
than the balderdash shoot negro rule.
The whites will always rule to this
country, as tliey have in all other
countries, and a war of races can only
dishonor that race which is so superior
in strength in its resources thst any
such war must result from its own
criminality and folly. State Guard.
