taximu uovt:Knt:T BOMD.
In tlie early part of week before last
A resolution was introduced into the
House of representatives by Mr, Cobb,
requesting tbo Committee of Ways
and Means to immediately report a
bill taxing Government bonds ten per
cent, per annum on the amount of in
terest hereafter paid. This measure
was passed and the Committee have
reported the bill Q ordered by, the
House, but in so doing they declare
that "they act in obedience to the pos
itive directions of the House, and con
trary to their own best judgenfcnt.
They reserve to themselves their rights,
aa members of the House, to oppose
in every possible way the adoption of
a measure which they regard as hostile
to the public interest and injurious to
the national character, a bill to au
thorize an internal tax on the interest
of the bonds and other securities of the
United States." We give below the
text of the bill, in order that our read
ers may be fully acquainted with a
measure which, if it should become a
Jaw, will bo followed by important
results:
Be it enacted, etc. That from and
after the passage of this act, there shall
be levied, collected, and paid a tax of
ten per centum on the amount of inter
est hereafter due and payable on all
the bonds and other securities of the
United States. To secure the collec
tion of said tax, the amount of interest
hereafter paid on any bonds or other
securities of the United States, bearing
interest at six per centum, shall be at
the rate of only five-tenths per centum
shall, be at the rate of only 4 5-10 per
centum , and if bearing interest at the
rate of three per centum shall be at
the rate of only 2 7-10 per centum per
annum. higher rate of interest
than is here prescribed 6hall be paid
on any bond or other security or the
United States now outstanding or au
thorised to be issued. All conditions
of any such bonds or other security,
and all laws and parts of law to the
'-contrary, are hereby repealed.
c On Thursday of last week, Mr.
Butler offered a bill which advocates
the tax of ten per cent, on the interest
of Government bonds, but suspends
the existing income tax of five per cent
a fax aa it applies to the interest de
rived from the bonds.
We doubt whether either of these
bills will pass both Houses, but as the
decision is at present uncertain, the
'effect is injorioos to the credit of the
Government, checking the eagerness
, (to invest in national securities which
' mrrHalisti have lately manifested, and
'pausing a decline in prices of bonds.

TIIBEATESIXG.
Fcndlutoniaus, before the New York
Convention, knowing well how popu
lar rascality is with the Democratic
party, threatened the bondlwlders of
the party without absolute repudiation
unless they acceded to their demand
for paper money expansion. This ac
counts for that plauk in their plat
form and explains away all doubt that
the ultimate end of the scheme is ruin.
They knew they could command the
same force on either issue, yet if they
roped in the bondholders on the expan
sion movement, their prospect would
be better for success in the fall. Once
successful it will be an easy matter to
carry out the repudiation policy. Is
there any one hardy "enough to vote
for the greenback issue with these
threats staring him in the face ?

OEN. FRANK P. lH.AIH DEFINES II 19
POSITION.
Washington, June 30.
Col. Jan. 0. Iiroadhcad.
Dear Colonel: In renlv to vour
inquiries I beg leave to say that I
leave to you to determine, on consul
tation with my friends from Missouri,
whether my name shall be presented
to the Democratic Convention, nnd to
submit the following, as what I con
sider the real and only issue in this
contest: The Reconstruction policy
of the Radicals will be complete lie lb re
the next election; the btates, so long
excluded, will hive bacn admitted;
nuo-ro s 11 Urine csaahlisheu. and the
carpet-bagger installed iu their seats
in both brandies ot Congress. I here
is no possibility of cliairgintlie polit
ical character of the Senate, even li'tlie
Democrats should elect tiieir Pi cedent
and a majority of the popular branch
of Congress. W'e cannot, therefore,
undo the Radical plan of Reconstruc
tion by Congressional action ; the Sen
ate will continue a bar to its repeal.
Must wesnhmit to it? How can it be
overthrown ? It can only be over
thrown by the authority of the Kxecu
tive, who is sworn to maintain the
Constitution, and who will (ail to do
his duty if he allows the Constitution
to perish under a series of Congress
ional enactments which are in palpa
ble violation of its fundanientiil
principles.
If the President elected by the
Democracy en Ibices or permits others
to enforce these Reconstruction acts,
the Radicals, by the accession of 20
spurious Senators and 50 Represent
atives, will control both branches of
Congress, and his administration will
he as powerless as the present one of
Mr. Johnson.
There is but one way to restore the
Government and the Constitution, and
that is for the 1'resident elect to declare
these acts null and void, compel the army
to tndo iU usurpations at the South,
disperse the carpet-bag Stale Govern
ments, allow tlie White people to reor
ganize their own governments, and elect
Senators and Representatives. The
House ot Representatives will contain
a majority of Democrats from the
rsorth, and they will admit the Kcp
resentatives elected by the White peo
ple of the South, and with the coope
ration of the President, it will not be
difficult to compel the Senate to sub
mit once more to the obligations ot the
Constitution. It will not be able to
withstand the public judgment, if dis
tinctly invoked and clenrlv cxnressGil
on this fundamental issue, anil it is
the sure way to avoid all future strife
to put this issue plainly to the coun
try. I repeat that this is the real and
only question which wa should allow
to control us: Shall we submit to the
usurpations by which the Government
has been overthrown, or shall we ex
ert ourselves for its full and complete
restoration? It is idle to talk of
bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public
faith, and the public credit. What
can a Democratic President do in re
gard to any of these, with a Congress
in both branches controlled by the
carpet-baggers and their allies? lie
will bo powerless to stop the supplies
by which idle negroes are organized
into political clubs by which an army
is maintained to protect these vaga
bonds in their outrages upon the ballot.
These, and things like these, eat up the
revenues and resources ot the Govern
ment and destroy its credit, make the
difference between gold and green
backs. We must restore the Consti
tution before wo can restore the fi
nances, and to do this we must have a
President who will execute the will of
the people by trampling into dust the
usurpations of Congress, known as the
Reconstruction acts. 1 wish to stand
before the Convention upon this issue,
nut it is one which embraces every
thing else that is of value in its large
and comprehensive results. It is the
one thing that includes all that is worth
a contest, and without it there is
nothing that gives dignity, honpr, or
value to the struggle. -
Yonr friend, Frank P. Blair.

Civil War inaugurated, vote tho Blair

Oen. Grout has been repeatedly

life in the cotr I art, ot lus catnpaitriis.
ami particularly in that one which re
sulted in the overthrow of Lee's army.
But it is an interctiiig nad Instructive
fact that the (ii-nialties incurred by the
Army of the Potomac during its ca
reer from Bull Run up to tlie failure
of the Mine Rim campaign, at the end
of 18G-J (a period in which, iiotwith
stamliii the partial victories of Antic-
tain iiml uettvsburg, it gained no sub
stantial success over its hardy and
persistent antagonist), were greatly in
excess of those incurred by it while
under Grunt's immediate command.
Tlia only satisfactory recompense
for the loss of life incurro I in warfare
is victory, fuilowed by the triumph of
the cause for which war is undertaken.
Considered in the light of this princi
ple, and not forgetting that Grunt was
in command of all the armies, and
therefore could not regulate details for
any of them, the following carefully
prepared statement, drawn from ofll
cial sources, ought to put an end to
the charge of butchery and needless
wttsteot life so unjustly made against
the greatest as well as the most hu

During the battle of Bull Uun,
-McClellan's mijveiiient to Richmond,
Pope's retreat to Vushington, the cam
paigns of Antietain, Fredericksburg,
Chaucellorsville, Gettysburg, and
Mine Uun, with the various inarches
and counter marches between the
Iiapidan and Washington, not count
ing operations in the Valley, nor the
cavalry raids, tho Army of the Poto
mac lost, first and last, 1G,145 killed,
80,063 wounded, 44,100 missing, or
an aggregUc of 144,118 hors de com
bat! Of these, 52,01)G were lost under
MeClcllan, tho most cautious nnd the
most unfortunate commander the army
ever had.
It must be said of these losses, that
while they resulted in holding the
rebel army in check, yet by having
correspondingly lowered the efficiency
of the arivy, they contributed indirect
ly but largely to excess of loss inctircd
during the final campaign. Notwith
standing this fact, and the essential
change in the nature of the fight
ing, due to. tho persistency with
which the rebel General covered
his men by entrenchments before giv
ing battle, the aggregate los9 of the
forces acting under Grant's immediate
command (not counting operations in
the Shenandoah Valley they being
fairly offset by those of 13anks,Shields,
Milroy, Kelly, and others), during the
overland campaign, from the Iiapidan
to Petersburg, with the siege of Peters
burg, and all the battles incident there
to, up to tho final surrender of Lee at
Appomattox Court House, was 13,001
killed, GG,452 wounded, 26,933 miss
ing aggregate, 100,501. ,
From this it is evident that tho Ar
my of the James lost nearly 40,000
fewer men after Grant took command
than they lost before that time. The
contrast between the captures made
and advantages gained in the two
periods is still more striking, but needs
no illustration. Aew York Sun.

The only offense of these accomplish

wholesale mnlevoleuce, looking direct

dom and justice of our organization,
out invokes us to renewed efforts in fa

The fundamental ideas of this rcliel
combination are that nothing has liccu
gained by the success of our arms, but
that everything has been lost, lo for
get the sanctified dead, to ignore and
outrage the gallant living, and to re
member and reward those only whose
crimes in nnv other nation would
have been punished by death or con
fisKttion. is the insnirin? motive of
our adversaries. What American sol
dier docs not feel the insult ? What
American citizen does not burn to re
sent it? Instead of cordially submit
ting to the laws passed by overwhel

carried into effect for the grand pur
pose of reorganizing tho South upon
the basis of equal justice and ctial

threaten a new resort to arms. .
At no period iu the rebellion hnvo

aud to those great principles for which
we contended, and succeeded in main

incredible crimes. : 8peaking now for

Frank B. Blair, Jr., is selected as
the Dcniocratic candidate for Vice
Presidency, to balance Seymour upon
tlm same priuciplu that our forefath
ers in inrrylng their grain to mill,
having put the grain into 0110 end of n
sack, lound it necessary, to keep it
from sliding off, to put a stone into
the other. .Seymour, with his peace
record, Is the grain, nnd Blair, with
his i tr record, is the stone. Seymour
represents tho North-East, and Blair
the Sout'i-West. Seymour represents
the men who didn't fight, aud Blair
represents the uun who fought, but
were sorry for it. Not to leave the
figure Incomplete, the ass that carries
the sack is the Democratic parly.
Frank P. Blair, Jr., has a record much
more national and conspicuous than
seymour. rrann r. liiair, jr., was
bom at Lexington, Kv., Feb. 9,
1821, was educated at Princeton Col
lege, N. J., ami rein ivtng to St. Louis,
adopted tho profession of the law.
Entering upon political life, be became
a leader of the Free Labor or Eman
cipation party of Missouri. He serv
ed as a private in tho Mexican war,
In 1848 he sustained Van Buren and
the Free Soil party, opposing the ex
tension of slavery into the Territories,
and advocating its abolition iu Mis
soiiri. Iu 1852 he was elected from
St. Louis County to the legislature
ol Missouri as an abolitionist, re-elec
ted in 1854, returned to Congress in
1850, edited The Missouri Democrat,
a Kuilicul Republican paper, and con
tinued in Congress until the outbreak
of the R"bellion, and was Chairman
of the Committee on Military Affairs.
Entering tho nnny in 1801, as Col
onel ot voluute'-TS, lie was soon after
appointed a Brigadier Genera! by
President Lincoln. II divided his
services between Congress nnd th?
army to the great disgust of his pres
ent political u.-S'iciates, who tried hard
to have him either deprived of his
seat in Congress or of his commission
iu the army. He served with average
credit in some of the earlier campaigns
of Grant and Sherman, commanded a
division of MoPhnrson's corns in May,
1802, and was appointed aMnjor-Gen-end
late in tho same year, resigning
his seat in the XXXVIIIth Con
gress to devote his entire time to the
command, but by the action of the
House subsequently the sent was as
assigned to his contestant, Samuel
Knox. The Democratic party stead
ily reviled him' as a civilian general,
or military poli man, indebted for liis
position to political favoritism. After
MePherson s assignment to tho Army
of the Tennessee, Oen. Blair succeeded
to the command of the 17th Army
Corps, formerly Mcpherson's, ami
continued to command it with credit
during Shermans march to the sea,
and in the subsequent march to Rich
mond. In 1800 he was appointed by
President Johnson Collector of Cus
toms for the port of St. Louis. To
ward tho latter days of President Lin
coln's adiiiinistrat'.oii the Blair family
fell into disfavor with tho Republican
party, who, at their Convention in
Baltimore, requested tho removal of
Montgomery Blair from the Cabi
net. Since then Frank P. Blair and
the rest of the family have ranked ns
Conservatives or "soured Radicals''
and supporters of reconstruction on
the rebel basis. The grist which the
Democratic parfy is carrying to the
mill is not Blair but Seymour. Tri

There is nothing which can raise as
much indignation iu the breast of a
Democrat ns to tell him that the Radi
cal party is in favor of negroes voting
and holding office. The masses do not
know thnt in l.onisinna at the recent
election, the Democratic candidate for
Governor was a negro, nnd was sup
ported by the entire party in that
State. In many Northern States
negro suffrage, with a property qual
ification, was established by the Dem
ocratic party when it held power.
The great idea of this being a white
man's goverment, has become a portion
of the regular sensational cry of the
Democracy, and on every occasion we
nre reminded of the fact that only
white men must rule this land. We
have alwavs contended that if black
men are to be counted in our represent
ative ratio then should they be allow
ed to vo(c. This organization of allow
ing tho negro to count one in appor
tioning our members of Congress, and
then allowing a few hundred white
men fo do the voting of thousands' is
a part of a white man's goverment that
wc do not admire.

A volume of Hrrafto ScVtifofJr'a'
political speeches since 1861. would be
almost as good a Republican campaign
document as the biography of Grant.'
To insure his overwhelming defeat Id
every Northorn Stnte it is only hecea
sary to let tlm people fully understand'
Ins position during the war. fortu
nately his record cannot be concealed
for Mr. Seymour, though not a brave
man, has spoken boldly enough,' .
He was outspoken in defence cf the
rebellion, because lie sincerely belieV
ed that it would succeed. He asserted
so often that the North could neye'r
subdue the South that he convinced'
himself that all the victories of Grant
and Sherman were inconsequential bat'
ties, which only helped to prolong the
war. in Ins own wurtis, the only
practical question was this "Shall we
compromise after war, or compromise
without war? In loOtf hisoroakings
of defeat were incessant, and' he drew
a fearful picture of the ruin of the
North by the war, at the very moment
that Lee was being whipped at Gettys
burg, and Grant was entering Vicks
burg. It was to stop the wicked wa -that
he did his best to interfere witli
the drnfl, assuring the New York riot
ers that ho had sent his Adjutant
General to Washington to have, it
stopped, and telling the mob that it
should lie satisfied. It would not do,
of course, to send men to the army,
when Lec was invading the North'.
His admiration of the South Was so
excessive that when the rebel Consti
tution was made ut Montgomery, ha
declared : "It is better than ourown
Why not obviate all difficulty by1
adopting it 1" Astounding as this
may seem, it is truly w'lmt Mr.' Sey
mour said. If the American people
could elect to the Presidency a' rnUtf
who wanted to exchange the Constitu
tion of the United States for the bas
tard charter of a foul rebellion, we
should tliinl; the country deserved
all the plagues of Egypt.
Make Horatio seymours record
known. Keep it liefore the people..

Nkw YortK,' August?'. Tho 2W6
une publishes Gen. Butler's report, as
Commissioner of Exchange, during a
portion of tho rebellion, from which it
appears that in December, 1863, he
found the Corrfedffrate Generals am
ions to exchange man for nirfa, but
the Confederate Government refused
to treat with Gen. Butler on the
ground that ho commanded negro
troops. Notification totliatenuct was
Kent to our Governraunt, Which refused
to admit the right of the Confederate
authorities to outlaw our officers."
Exchanges continued until March,
1801, when Gen. Butler had an inter
view with Commissioner Ould, which
convinced him that retaliation would
compel the rcliels to abandon their
refusal to exchange colored soldiers.'
I lie government, informed of these
facts, referred the matter to General
Grant, who, in April, directed General
Butler to decline, until otherwise or
dered, all further negotiations, and
shortly after instructed him to consid
er the determination of the rebels to!
make a distinction between white and
colored prisoners as a refusal on their
part to agfeo to further exchange.'
Gen. Butler was also instructed to tt
ceive all tho sick and wounded the'
rebels would give up, but to send no
mors in exchange. In August the'
rebels offered to renew the exchange,'
man for man. Gen. Grant then tele
graphed the following important
order:
"It is hard on out men to be held
in southern prisons and not td ex
change them, but it is humanity to'
those Ictt iu the ranks to light our bat
tles. Every man releasee) on pdrole
or otherwise becomes an active soldior
against us at once, directly or indi-',
rectly. If we commence a system of
exchange which will liberate all prisJ
oners taken,- we will have to fight on
until the South is exterminated. If
we hold those caught, they amount to'
no more' than dead men. At this'
particular time to release all rebel
Srisoncrs in the north wonld insure
hcrman's defeat, and would compro
raise our safety here." PitU. GaxeUet
