fecietaiy McCoHnch - Proposed New Five
Ter C-enU i-iOan.
The steady appreciation in Tallin ot the va
rious clas es of Government securities, as
well as the eeneral strength of the financial
(situation, thanks to the able and bkilful iid
miniHlration Of Secretary McCulloch, slvcs
ground lor the belief that a long five per
cent, loan ma be successfully placed before
the country for the purpose of funding the
early maturing obligations of the Govern
ment. Those obligations, falling due within
the next three j ears, amount in the aggregate
to the large sum of over one thousand and
twenty-one millions of dollars.
The object ot funding this debt in a long
five per cent, loan is, first, to reduce the rate
of interest, and secondly, to throw the burden
of payment of the principal, as well as a por
tion of the Interest, upon the future. Eight
hundred and thirty millions of these obliga
tions are now bearing the high rate of intorest
of seven and three-tenths per cent, per
annum. One hundred and seventy-thrco mil
lions bear interest at six per cent., com
pounded every six months, while some eighteen
millions bear simply six per cent. Granting
that this sum could now be funded in a five
per cent, loan, the saving in interest over the
present rates would amount to the very
handsome sum of over twenty millions of dol
lars per annum.
The policy ot a lonj loau is evident the
mc ment we take into account the rapid in
crease of capital in tliis country. During the
ten years from 1850 to 1303, the capital stock
of the country increase I 158 per centum
Allowing that lor the next forty yours the
increase should maintain anything like this
rat 0, it is apparent that the principal of the
debt, when finally discharged, would be
but a very frilling proportion to the total
amount of the national wealth.
The justice of throning a portion of our
heavy burden upon tin next generation
cannot be denied. Ou : Lt war in putting
down the IJjbellioa wai waged at much m
the interest of posterity as in our own. In
preserving the unity and integrity of the
country we preseivccl it for them. It is but
just, therefoe, that those who are to share
in reaping the traits of tu toils and sacdQCes
of this generation should also assist in the
liquidation of the debt incurred. It must bj
remembered that the present rates of interest
upon much of the public debt are exceptional.
They are above the ordinary rate of interest
in times of peace ; they are above the rates
borne by State stocks. Before the war the
stocks of the United States were always above
par. They will doubtless be so again as soon
as the financial condition of the country be
comes more fully settled. Five per cent, is
above the European rates of interest on simi
lar obligations, and foreign capitalists would
find our bonds, at those rates, a more profita
ble source ot investment than anything
offered in their own countries.
To a very large class of persons having
funds to invest, a long bond, even at a smaller
rate of interest, is preferable to a short one.
The investment, once made, is noo liable to
be disturbed, and the expense and risk of
reinvestment are avoided.
But one of the chief recommendations of
Government bonds is their freedom from tax
ation. State and municipal taxation is be
coming so onerous, and is liable to such
further Increase, that investments subject to
be reached by it are shorn of much of their
ralue. The rate of municipal taxation in
many of our large cities has doubled within a
few years; where it will finally stop depends
entirely upon whether the corrupt prodigality
so characteristic of many municipal corpora
tions has yet reached its limits. The popu
larity of Government loans during the war
was owing in a good measure to this freedom
from local taxation. It is worthy of consi
deration whether, as a further inducement
for subscriptions for a long five per cent,
bond, it might not be good policy to
relieve it absolutely from all taxation
not merely as to the principal as is now
the case but also as to the national incoms
tax upon the interest. That the Govern
ment would largely save by doing so is appa
rent. .The saivng of interest by funding the
eight hundred and thirty millions of Seven
thirties into a five per cent, loun would be
nearly twenty millions of dollars per aunum ;
while the income tax upon the interest of the
Seven-thirties would amount to only some
three millions, belp-u a direct saving to the
Government of nearly seventeen millions per
annum upon this one description of bonds .
Absolute freedom Irom all taxation would be
a novel attraction not only to capitalists, but
also to that very large class of persons
having small amounts to invest, whose Influ
ence in popularizing a loan was so signally
shown in the sale of the Seven-thirties.
In every point of view, then, it appears
desirable that a long five per cent loan, for
the funding of our present costly and early
maturing national obligations, should be
placed before the country. With a skilful
use of the same means so successfully brought
to bear in the management and sale of for
mer loans, we have no doubt a similar success
might now be achieved, resulting in an alle
viation of our public burdens, and a still
further strengthening of the public credit.

has Increased but 4000. while the Liberals
have advanced 9000. Uere, then, Is ground
lor future hope.
The whole of republican Europe had set
their heart, so to speak, on the success of
Laboulaye. Besides combining in an emi
nent degree all of the requisite qualifications
of a pailiamentary leader, be was the recog
nized head of that small though brilliant and
powerful clique in Paris who steadily caze
up n the United States, and strive to prepa e
1-uiope for such a political system as we have
lieie. lie was well known to the liteiary
world both of France and America, princi
pally through his work entitled "Paris in
America." which for originality of conception
and giaphic portrayal of republican life has
no equal. When it is remembered that the
author never visited our shores, we can judge
how deeply he must have studied our insti-
j tntions, for no one could detect a single flaw
In the whole description of the social and
civil polity of our land. His later work on
the "Issues of the American War" Is a power
ful defense ot the North, and did us much
go. d in France. The Liberals appear, bow
ever, to view the'r doleat as we do the battle
of Bunker Ilill. It will sound a tocsin-cry
w hich will arouse the masses, and prepare
the way for futitie Bennington and York
towns. Accepting La hoi i.ayk's own state
ment ttiat "nolhli.g can permanently impede
the progress tf the ra c," we may recover
from our regret, and hope lor better things
in ISO!)
T he Hon. William J. G ha yso.v. of South
Carolina, lately deceased, published a few
years since a pastoral poem, in Pope verse.
ntitJod X he Country." The work had but
a limited circulation, as It appeared hi the
midst of the war days. It has, however, been
republished in De Bow's liecieio, and is. we
understand, undergoing another edition in
New York. Under such circumstances, its
circulation and probably its influence cannot
fail to be great. It is extremely well written,
exhibiting many of the finer poetic fancies,
which seldom reveal themselves in its metre.
There is one verse, however, which does such
palpable violence to both logic and history,
that we cannot but quote it, as an evidence of
the perversion of fact as viewed even by the
most intelligent Southerners :
"The foundered demairoirue of party strife,
Cleaves to his purpose and intriirucs lor life:
l'lilli'ii troni the topmost pinnacle of plarv,
He mils and wrangles at the miry baue.
And as tLe drunkard hues his hapless doom.
Haves and harangues, like Adams, to the tomb."
This wanton Insult to the memory of a
dead statesman, who, though old and care
worn, refused to abandon the forum, where
he still struggled for the cause of freedom,
and fell with his armor on, while speaking lor
the principles which had guided him through
life, is as cross as it is unexpected. That
the "old man eloquent" should be dragged
from his honored grave, and termed a
"foundered demagogue," and compared with
a "hapless drunkard," 1b a crime rarely, we
tre glad to say, rivalled. We cannot admire
ibe logic which would deprive our national
councils of the wisdom of the veteran states
men, and turn into private life those who,
Irom long experience, are best fitted to rule
our land, and give the people advice. The
reason and the justice of the quoted para
graph are equal. The remainder of the poem
is bo unexceptional as to render the present
instance more grossly apparent.
TnE Dcplicatiox op Taxes It Should
ii k Abolished. We sincerely hope that
when the Tax bill comes before Congress for
final action a clean sweep will be made of that
most unjust and inexcusable feature, the re
duplication of taxes upon manufactured arti
cles. It Is not enough that the tax upon
manufactures be reduced, but the entire sys
tem of putting tax after tax upon the same
article, as it passes through the hands of
different manufacturers, should be abolished.
It is essentially vicious. It paper is taxed as
paper when it is made at the paper-mill, let it
not be taxed again when it is made into a
book. If cloth is taxtd when it is originally
manufactured, let it not be taxed again when
it is made up into clothes. The iust and cor
rect principle is to tax the manufacturer who
works upon materials already taxed only for
the Increased value which he gives to them.
This is easily arrived at by deducting from
the value of the completed article the cost o'
such component parts of it as have already
been taxed as manufactures. By the present
system, iron, cloth, leather, paper, and all
other great staples of manufacturing Industry,
are taxed In the bands of the original manu
facturer. Then, at eaeh successive step as
they are transmitted Into the various articles
of use in every day life, they are again
taxed. Thus it happens that the same arti
cle Is taxed three or tour times over before it
reaches the consumer. This Is essentially
and radically a vicious system, and should be
not modified, but utterly abolished. We trust
our Pennsylvania representatives will watch
this point when the 'fax bill comes up for
action.

was being counted die pui'diancr produced a

drawn on the ( ontinental bank with which
Koss was known to have an account to the
order of the draper, and by him dul indorsed.
As this check bore the certification sramp ot the
teller ot the bank, a prudent member of the
firm sent a lad to the Continental Bauk to
assure hmisell oi the trenuiueness of the cer
tification. Ihe Urst teller of th-j financial in
stitution at which the document was presented,
examined the paper, ani at once pronouueed
the same dul v certified. With this information
the lad left the place and reporte I cho result of
his mission to the firm, who in the meantime
had , urpli' d boss with the gold, and allowed
bun to quit the premises. Noihing more was
thought ol the transaction, and the check was
deposited in the bank of the Commonwealth,
where the tirin kept an Account. Yesterday
aiternoon the check, which had been presented
to the officials ot the Continental bank, and
pionoi;ueed a loigery, wa- returned to the bank
ol the ( oinmonwealth, ami thence was trans
lcrred to the firm of t'ronisp V Co. Tuesc
gentlemen, no doubt, will not be the losers bv
the transaction, rhe officials of the Continental

mark genuine. It is rumored thai the teller ol
the institution being subsequently called upon
to produce hi- certification book, to ascertain
if the numbnr ot the check was ro be fouud
thereupon as an evidence of iU genuinness,
declined to do so, and many incline to the
beliel that the paper passed upon Messrs.
Cronise & Co. is genuine. At present, however,
the question is still unde'-ided.
A similar game was played to the detriment
of the firm ot black & Spauldiup, of No. 1!)
broad street, who were waited upon on Tues
day aiternoon by Koss. The visitor represented
that he wished to purchase fifty thousand dol
lars in gold; and on being handed the coin, pro
duced m payment therefor a check purporting
to be good for the sum ot sixty-lour thousand
dollars. This check was precisely similar to
that presented to Messrs. Cronise .t Co., being
also drawn on the Continental Bank, black Sk
Spauldina quietly deposited the document in a
drawer.and sent it before evening to the Leather
Manufacturers' bank. On the morrow the
check was transterred to the Continental Bank,
and early ye'terdav attemoon the supposed
valuable paper was returned to the firm with
the pleasing announcement that tho certiiication
stamp was a forgerv.

waited upon tne tirm. and reo nested them to

ance Robs called for his bonds, and was lobt
sight ot tor a time. He reappeared, however,
a few days ago, and demanded the loan of some
money, offering as becurity sundry documents
that purported to be the original valuables mir-
chased lor him by (iroesbeck 4 Co. Without
submitting the papess to a close examination
the funds were adTancpd. Bnd, fortyveight hours
later, the bondB were discovered to V forgeries
and utterly valueless. The loss of the tirm is
heavy. The figures, for reasons unknown, are
withheld from publication.
The firm of Howes A Macv yesterday aftpr-
noou received the visit ot Bonie officials, who
handed to them two checks, nurnortine: to be
good, for $34,000 eaeh, which, nt first glance,
apneared to have been torn Irom their own

drawn on tho Leather Manufacturers' bank, to
the order of John Ross, and bore a counterfeit
signature ot the tirm of Howes k Macy, ns also

firm. The papers in question bad been deposited
by the supposed forger in the Union anct Com

having received them as genuine. On presenta
tion ot the same to the Leather Manufacturers'
bank they were at once pronounced forgeries, a
decision soon after endorsed by the statement of
Messrs. Howes Macy.

taken from the check-book of Mr. Albert
Spejers. of No. 27 Pine street, and bearing that
gentleman's signature were also, it is cbartred,
thrown into circulation by Ross. The checks
bore the imprint of Mr. Speyers' cancellation
stamp, and were made payable at the Fourth
National bank to the order of John Roes, the
certification stump being also counterfeited on
the face ol the note. These checks, it is stated,
had been deposited in the Union and Conti
