THE NEW YOUK PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINIONS OF I LEAVING JOURNALS UfON CURRENT TOPICS. COMFILRD TKRY DAT; FOB ETKHIKO TW.IORAPH. The Final Kepoit of the Eighth Censn. From tkt 7 imee. The progreoi of statistical science in this country must be regarded as eminently satisfac tory. To this result the Census Bureau has been the chicl contributor. The portly volumq Jusn lshued by that Bureau compares favorably with any which has been produced by any Govern ment or Individual, whether as respects Its am plltude-of material, or the care with which that material has been arranged. The publication is aho Tory aprojm to the present time, when not only the political, but the social anl commer cial, relations ot America are beta? reorganised as rapidly as the impedimenta raised by the war can be cleared away. It was important that the actual condition ot Iiropcrty in I860 should be recorded, and not ess ho that the various circumstances affect Ins; human lile and its duration should be investi gated. The enumeration of the people has been, even from remote antlquitv, a mark ot thoir civilization. It marks the degree ot care exercised by a nation towards those who dwell within it. To note the birth of a human being is to say that a lllo la a trust committed to the caie of society, and to mark the causes by which that lite was lost is a pledge that those causes shall be removed so fur as possible. An Investigation of the various interests and occu pations ot the people, and of what may facili tate or impede thrtu, presupposes a paternal feeling on the part of the governing power. And the laitbfulness with which those investi gations are made are the test of how much real humanity orders and executes the wortc. The first point which strikes the reader who opens this report Is the vast amount of Informa tion which it contains. The second Is that there is no index by which it can be readily used. We would suggest that this deticiency be supplied, and that copies of a table of contents be distri buted as soon as practicable. We will endeavor to give an idea ot what the contents are without this useful accessory. In the first place" there is a well-digeste 1 his tory of popular enumerations from the earliest times. The portion devoted to the United States is especially valuable, and the more so that it contains observations upon the influence ot vaiious circumstances, of climate, soil, indus tries, etc., upon the human family iu fact, the est-ay constitutes an historical and icientiflc document ot considerable value. The mortality of the United States and its causes are, however, perhaps, the chief in value of the contents of thia report. The statistics on this topio were gathered by 44 U Maishals from the houses of iamllics over the whole country. The causes of death which ' are noted are one hundred and thirty-eight in num ber, Including thirtv-elaht external or vio lent causes. It is to be remarked in this connection that the local authorities in vari ous States reported only such deaths as they happened to hear of; but in this respect there la a great improvement since 1850. Brill the actual rate ot mortality in all localities and from ail causes is jet to bo ascertained. Pro bably this result will never be reached until a genet al registration act, einiilar to the English, for instance, is passed. One of the most inte resting developments indicated in the book is the progress towards the simplitication of the titles .of diseases. In the orielnal English returns there were 1195 such titles now they are re duced to 114. With us there were collected in 184C no less than 1147 such, and these have been reduced by scientidc classification to a uniform nosology, It is easy to see how medical science is tendered simple and popular by this process. The area ot the United States has been divided into nine districts, according to their climate and climacteric character. This opens up a wide field of inquiry upon the influences which those conditions exert upon health and longevity. We find very considerable differences in mor tality among these districts; tor instance, the decado experienced 1667 deaths in 10,000 per sons under five years ot age In the first district, and which includes the New England States; and 4767 out of the same number in the seventh district, or South Carolina, Oeorgia, Florida, and Alabama. The causes of these deaths are given under the tables apportioned to these dis tricts. It is impossible, within the space of a single article, to pursue this topic further, and we have only room to add that every circum stance by which it can be illustrated, sach as percentage, occupation, and education, is fully set lorth. The department allotted to miscellaneous statistics covers a very wide range Hanks and Insurance; the Press; EailionJs; Canals and Rivers; Families and tree population; Religion; Education; Libraries; Schools; Colleges, etc. The information upon the true value ot real estate and personal property, and its growth, is of great consequence. In' 1850 and 1800 thry amounted respectively to $7,135,780,228 and $lt,15D,616,(j68, showing an increase in ten years of $8,925,481, or 126-45 per cent. Of the States. New York stands first as regards this increase, and Kansas last. But we must leave this report for the present, tor the amount of material which it oilers tor consideration is too great for even a tar more extended notice than we now can give to it. Epidemic Swindling. From the Tribune. Should wo be advised some fine day that fraud "to an alarming extent" had "broken out in the lower part of the island," and that "a is almost Impossible to stay its ravages among the firms ot that vicinity," nobody need be surprise!; for the same kind of epidemic has broken oat rashly over and oyer again la the same neigh borhood. The latest development only shows that Mr. Ross reaped a little more of the field which Mr. Ketch urn tound in bo high a state of cultivation.

It Is1 gratifying to notice occasionally some thing fensiblo proposed In Congress. Amid the dreary waste of profitless discussion about tho everlasting negro, there does appear sometimes an intelligent and a patriotic man who endea vors to bring Congress to consider somethiug practical and uselul for the coantry. Mr. Sher man, of Ohio, has on several occasions lately raised , himself out of the mire of radical parti san politics, and has taken up with correct views generally the important questions pertaining to our finances, currency, and national debu On the 2d he Introduced in the Senate a bill "to reduce the rate of interest on the national- debt, and for funding the sam;." It provides, as the Senator remarked in his explanatory statement, for a five per cent, thirty years' loan, in the UMial lorm. to be called the "Consolidated Debt of the United Stales," and to be disposed 01 hi not less man par, ana 10 do applied to the payment ot the existing national debt other than United States notes, commonly known aj greenbacks. These few words state concisely the (bect and substance of the bill. It is a most Important measure, and the introduction of it now shows that sound practical ideas on this subject are making their way in Congress. In an editorial article in the Herald at Anril 16, on the subject of "the financial problem of the country," we used this laneuuue: "The next step should be to consolidate the whole debt, and make a uniform and reduced rate of interest. A sinking fund, looking to the extin guishment of the debt iu forty or fifty years, should also bo established. This would give stability and confidence, and would lighten the burdens of the people." We have been urgine the came views all along during the last lew mouths. We saw that the theory of a national debt being a national blessing-, and the powerful combined etlbrti ot the bondhold ers, backed by the moLstrous moneved mono poly of the national banks, to increase and perpetuate a ruinous financial system, must be strenuously resisted. We have opposed, too, the visionary notions of the cuirency quacks as to contracting our legal tender circulation. Mr. McCulioch, and the whole Treasury Department, the host of bondholders, the national banks, which aru making fit teen tier cent, on their capital and out of the people, and the radical press of the country in the interest ot this powerful combination -all were advocat ing the most impracticable and destructive theories. It is now the more gratifying, there fore, to see one of the ablest and most influen tial Senators adopt our views, both on the question of the currency as well as on that' of lunding the debt. Mr. Sherman, in his proposi tion to fund the debt and reduce the interest, excepts the non-interest bearing debt in the form of greenbacks. These are no burden upon the country, and are evidently and properly re garded by this Senator as our safe, healthv, and proper currency. It is reported that the Se cretary of the Treasury approves of the bill introduced by Mr. Sherman. We hope it may be so. and If It be, we congratulate Mr. McCul ioch on the progress he la making and the good tense he shows. The tunding of the debt, reducing the interest nnd making it uniform, and creating a sinking fund lor the extinguishment 01 the debt, ought to bo provided tor at one and the same time. It would be best, perhaps, to do it all in one bill. The consolidation of the debt, all of it having a long time to run, say thirty or forty years, gives it the character of a permanent security, and raises its value accordingly. Old United States sixes ol long date always were quoted higher than those of shorter date. It would be so with the new debt. Six or seven per cent, bonds having only a lew years to run, would really not be w orth more than American , consols bear ing five per cent interest, running thirty or forty years. In no sense, consequently, does the proposed bill ot Mr. Sherman squint at reou diation lor injustice to the bondholders. There is not only the precedent set by all gov ernments in this respect to justify us in doing the same, but we should not be doing any one wronger breaking faith with the public cre ditors. We have been legislating enough for the benefit of the bondholders and a moneyed monopoly ; it is necessary now to lighten the burdens of the people as much as possible and look more to the general interests of the coun- tiy. At; the same time that a consolidated debt lor a long period would enhance the value ot the debt as a permanent security, a sinking 1 nun iur luo uiiiuime exuneuutunjeni 01 11 would raise the credit of the Government, in spire confidence, and moke its securities the best in the world. Tbough this, at first sirht. may seem to be an anomaly, it is nevertheless true mat ootn a long time uuDt and the certainty of payment increase its value. There ought, then, to be a peimanent sinking fund created at tho time the debt may be consolidated. There is one feature of Mr. Sherman's bill, however, which is of a more doubt: ul character; that which retcrs to the exemption ol the con sols from tuxatiou or duties by the States, municipal authorities, or the United States Gov ernment, and the provision that the Interest shall always be paid in coin. There is no doubt that this would lucilitate the lunding of the debt; and it may be doubted it the Government would not meet with some (11 ucuitv at the outset in 1 changing kuch a vast amount of in debtedness troin one torui to another, witn- out this tempting provision ot the bill., Still, we have to look to tho future and to consider how tar the exemption of such a vast amount ot property troia taxation would affect here after othor interests and the country at laree. With regard to promising to pav interest and orincipal 1 in coin, that may not operate amiss iust liow. Yet 'he time may come thoucti wo hope it never wi'l when it might not bo conve nient to pay In coin, as, lor example, in case of war. Besides, the money of the Government, the regular greeuback currency, should be the buU ol all legislation and transactions of a financial character. We sulmut these views as sugseBtionH, and hope Mr. Sherman, who has begun light, and has taken up the matter in enrnett, may consider tbem well. . It may be nceary to have another bill to establish a unilorw currency, to abolish the national banks, and to create some tystem by which the paper money of the Government may bo made as valuable as coin. If that should be done, there nould be no necessity tor the coin clause of the funding bill. However, the malu obiect is now to fund the debt, reduce the interest, and pro vide lof ito extinguishment. . But as no general system of national finance will be complete or can bo as successful as de sired until the currency and monetary Institu tions of the country be put on a proper basis, one ot the first things to be done is 10 abolish the so-called national banks and make Govern ment legal tenders the only currency of the country. (These banks are a fraud aud a cheat upon the people. They take the profits upon three hundred millions of circulation which might audi ought to go into the Treasury for the benefit of the public, without pay ing anything for the privilege. Being called national banks, , and issuing a cur rency called national, people have thought they. wire. Government institutions; that the Government wa- liable (or their tranaac- 7 ; .u .... ttons; tnd that they were perfectly sate, while, In fact, they arc but private institution and no more secure than other batiks. Their iCircuU; lion ts secured, it is trtie. by deposit tot Gov einmeDt bondB; and this,-tinder all ordinary crrrumstances, may ecare the noteholders; but the recent failures show that deprwiton, and vpd the tJoverntneut ttMrt, may suffer by their lailure. The people are d'-celved by thev so called national banks. Thry are a vast and Onnaerous monopoly, of n benefit to the Gov ernment or the people, and only profitable to the monojwilsis them-ielvei. ' The act "creating them ought to be repealed. The Government should buy up or letire the bonds now deposited by these banks by a new Issue of legal tenders equal to the amount of their circulation, and thus ave the interest on these bond. It would not Increase the volume of currency, would give a sounder and mfre preferable currency, and would save to the country an amount that, at compound Interest, would pay the national debt wltbln fifty years. We call upon Mr. Sherman, who begin to take broad views on tho general subject of finance, and upon Con gress to lay the foundation of a sound and per manent ajetem of currency, as well as for the management and liquidation of the .national debt. . MRunning Emptyings." From the World. Thanks to "Mr. Blaine, of Maine." we hnvn a phrase most apt to describe the sort of enter-. lainmem 10 which the anti-eiavory prophets, now that slavery has been abolished, are forced to Invite the hungry faithful. In comparison with the clanking chains and cracking whips of the good old times when Mas sachusetts, newly weaned irom her own "gayne lul pillage" of "Moorcs" and "Narragansett9," made wordy war on the institutions of her sister States, we have a dolelul and flatulent pottering over "ideal manhood," humanity "raised to a common platne," and the like. EvIi as the asses ot Job, the faithiul are like, we lear, to be filled with the east wind. Dreary sarcasm from the lips of "men of color" to the effect that they "do not look down upon the whites;" twaddle about the "change of the fcene of war from Lee's headquarters to the White House;" drivel in honor of the military achievements of Butler, the Gittito of silver spoons s comfjared with Gtant, the Hittite of stalwart soldiers; and solemn proclamations of the alarming tact that Mr. Wendell Phillipps "hates" the word "Constitutional" these, and such as these, are the funeral baked meats t-erved np to the mouruers who bewail the aboli tion ol slavery as the extinction of their own dcai eft occupation in liie. It is not to be wondered at that, Mr. William Llojd Garrison, who, whatever else may bo said of him, did really fling his whole force ior years against a great and formidable fact, the estab lishment of slavery, should have withdrawn in masculine disgust trom the company of this 1 absurd and ill-nnnditinnprl k-nnf nf itoiin , I - v - " " V. .VI f hdnlaa - .' Howard and Beecher. From the Daily A'tws. The "kind-hearted and pious" General How ard, who is in this city in attendance upon "the anniversaries," made on Tuesday, before the Amer ican Missionary Society, a speech Inspired by that morbid philanthropy which makes all the members of that negro-philisiic association love the Southern negroes, and hats the Southern whites with all their heart. What General Howard cays would be of little importance were he not Chief of that Freedmen's Bureau which is organizing the negroes of the South In hos tility to their late masters, and did ho not as Huch wield a terribly dangerous power. It is this fact which induces us to call attention to one or two extracts from his Tuesday's speech, and first to this atrocious calumny atrainst the brave and gallant soldiers of the Confederacy: W hen the Betel armies surrendered, a Iarie part ot the men organized in secret bands 10 auras tue treedmen, murder soldiers, break the winiows of tcnoolhousn, etc." This is simply false, and we believe that Gene ral Howard knows that It is. Our worthy General Sleek, according to the report, next "nave a foretb'e description or the poor whites, a listlesi, stupid race. It was a relief to find a woman crying the was an exception to the geneial listless nets: and then, with admirable humor, he made a sudden change trom grave to gay, all forgetful ot the poor heart-broken women whose sorrows were too profound to find relief in tears, or cheered, perhaps, by the fiendish pleasure with which bis htaiers listened to his sadttoryot the sufferings of those Southern women, (his Cbr.ftian gentleman then "gave a humorous aefcriplion of the ueeroee on the Sea Islands," and his patent method ior converting them into Mew Englundcrs. Havinir sufficiently amuped hi9 audience, the General next assured them that his Bureau might not exist much longer, and that it they wuhed to periect "the good work" "the Christians of the North mutj send thflr teachers 8ou h those w ho aare be bated, outraged, murdeted. 1'ne villanion ot men who will rob aud wuider the poor, who will burn scuool houses, must be expected;" and then turning up his eyes, as Burton used to turn tip his when per'onatiug the orginal "Aminadab," our General Sleek, with unctuoud voice, proclaimed: "Our country is punished; our country is re deemed; our country will bo blessed. The clouds are breaking, and God is above the clouds. 'Beneath the heavens every creature is ted. And tie who leeds the ravens will eive His children bread.' " This pious oration of "Howard the Philan thropist" so excited "Brother iieecher" that he bounced up straightway, ana "pa'd an eloquent tribute to Oencral Howard as a Christian, sojtlitr, and minister, who bad been or dained by 1,0 J as the avant courier aud leaner in tl e work of evangoliziusr the poor ot the iSouih lie rt miuned him 01 an iron candlestick iu which wan a wax CULGlO." !
