The Consolidated Debt BllL1 ., lira only serious objection which seems to be urged against Secretary McCulloch's plcn of funding the Interest-bearing portion of oar national debt into a long five per cent, loan, la to that feature of it which pro poses to make the stock entirely free of all taxation, municipal, State, or national. If this were wholly a new feature, it might be expected to encounter opposition; but it is not. Not a dollar of our national debt is now subject to municipal or State taxatian. It has nevor been the policy of the Government to subject its obligations to the uncertainties of such burdens, for the simple reason that 1: would tbereby'put itself completely at the mercy ol the States. A United States stock, subject to State or municipal taxation, might have- its entire Interest eaten up in that way, and thus become utterly valueless as an in vestment. The most that could be dpne, if such a policy were entered upon at all, would be to fix a Jlmlt beyond which local or State taxation should not bo imposed. Bat' even this is ' impracticable with reference to our present debt, because it was contracted under an agreement that it should be free from such taxation; abd any, violation of tbat agreement would be repudiation, which, of course, is not to be thought of. State or municipal taxation ol United States bonds is therefore out ot the quest'on; and the only remaining consideration is whether the Government would make more money by allowing the debt to remain in its present form, subject to its present rate of national taxation, and bearing its present high rates of. interest, or by funding4 it into a long loan at a reduced rate of interest and free of all taxation ? The present taxation of nationaj bonds is the tax upon the income arising from them. Senator Shekman, in introducing the pending bill, said of this present income tax upon United States bonds, that it did not rea lize to the Government one-tenth of one per cent, on the aggregate debt. lie says : "It cannot be denied tbat a strong feeling; grow out of the exemption Iroui S.tvte cu.vatiou of bo large an amount of property, and various propositions have been made to Bubk-ct them to taxation by tne United Slate. While they b?ar interest fct a rate equal to tnat paid in niost of the States on notes and Becunties subiert to tax, this feeling of inequality will continue to in crease. Tbey are now subject to income tax levied by the Unite .1 States, but o.viu? td the sii hundred dollar exemption, now oroposdd to be increased to one thousand dollars, and also to the large amount held abroad, whicn cannot be reached, and the readiness witn which the tax is evaded, it came to the United States lest) than one-tenth of one pr cent, on the aggregate debt. In consideration ot the reduction in the rate of interest trom fix and seven and three tenths per cent, to live per cent., this bill pro poses to extend the present exemption from State taxation to the income tax, and vill, in effect, secure to the United Stats a reduction of one-sixth ot the present interest fund. with, but the trifling loss of the income." ; Suppose, then, we take the Seven-thirties, and convert them into the proposed flvo per cent, stock, and tree it from th income tax ; how will the operation stand ? We shall lose the income tax, amounting to one-tenth ol one per cent. ; we shall nave the reduction of interest from seven and three-tenths per cent, to be five per cent ; our net gain, therefore, will be two and two-tenths per cent. Upon the six per cent, stocks we shall save by the reduction one per cent.; and deducting the one-tenth of one per cent income tax, we have a net gain of nine-tenths of one per cent. The gain, therefore, to the Government by giving up its income tax, if it can thereby secure the funding of the debt Into a five per cent, loan, is at a rate ot 22 to 1 upon the Seven-thirties', and 9 to 1 upon the six per cents. As a financial operation, then, we had much better give up the insigni ficant income tax, and secure the redaction ; ol interest. i ' As we remarked the other day, this saving ' so far as the payment of interest is con corned, is equivalent to the wiping out of two hundred ' and , seventy-five millions of the principal of the Seven-thirties, or three hun dred and thirty-three millions of the six per cents. That, Is, were two hundred and seventy-five millions of the Seven-thirties or three hundred and thirty-three mil! lions of the six per cents, to be paid to-day, and ; our total debt thus much reduced, the amount of interest we should thereby save would ' be just equal to what we would save by the proposed fund ing of the present debt into a five per cant, loan. As a matter of national eeonotny, therefore, the taxation of the bonds had bet ter be given up, if the proposed reduction in" interest can thereby be secured. j But there is anothtr view of this question of taxation worthy oi consideration. The feeling against the exemption of United States bonds from taxation arises almost wholly in connection with municipal and State taxation. It is where a city or a State finds that its revenues are dimin shed by this ex emption that complaints are made. The re duction of t he rate of Interest upon national securities to the low figure of five per cent, would go far to remove all occasion for these local grumblings. Where, as in our State, the legal rate of interest is only six per cent., and the holders of Government loans are many of them receiving seven and tbree tf nths per cent., there 'seems to be just ground t of complaint It the latter are exempted from taxation. But if the Government interest . were reduced to five per cent, this lnvidlojs , discrimination would be done away, or, Sat least, would be less manifest than His now. J However, this freedom from taxation Is not aa essential part of Secretary McCulloch's plan lor consolidating the debt. , Its object Is to create an inducement for the taking of the . new loan. If the funding can be accomplished without that Inducement, so much the better. As Senator Shebmar shoVs In his speech, the oaring of interest by consolidating the debt as proposed will be sufficient to create a sinking fund which, In thirty-five years, will extinguish the debt. The effect Is to pay tho natlona debt by the saving of interest" ', : The arguments for the bill are so numerous and of such evident weight, that we do not wonder at the almost universal expression ot sentiment in its favor. No financial measure since the war begun has', commanded such general approval. ; : ; ' jj , . Growth and Resources ol the West. Few persons realize the extent and resources of our country. A glance upon the map, It is true, will show that more than one-half of it is, as yet, uncultivated and uninhabited. The vast regions west , of the Missouri are comparatively untouched; but even with reference to some of the older States there are prevalent only the vaguest ideas as td tholr condition and capacities. How many people at tie East are aware that its State of Illi nois Is already the fourth State in tho Union in population, and by the census of 1370 may be found to be the third? "And yet, as the traveller whirls across the broad prairies by any of the numerous lines of railway tra versing the State, it will seem to him that not one acre in a hundred of the land Is under cultivation. The same number ot in habitants to the square mile that Massachu setts has would give Illinois a population of nearly nine millions. j Missouri is now the seventh State in the Union as to population. She . ia probably re ceiving, at the present time, a larger immigra tion than any of the other S.ates. She has a soil as productive as that of Illinois, iron ore In as great abundance as Pennsylvania, coal underlying1 the whole State, rich mines of lead, and inexhaustible springs of Bait, j The Mississippi river skirts her eastern boundary; the Missouri washes half of her western border and traverses the entire State ;' two great lines of railway span her territory troaj east to west, while a third penetrates towards the southwest, and a fourth to the northwest; and her commercial metropolis is already the chiel city west of the Alleshanies. This State has an imperial domain larger than all the New England States combined, a half larger than Pennsylvania, almost as large as New fork, New Jersey, and Maryland lis re sources ore unrivalled, and its capacity for sustaining a dense population is not exceeded by that of any other State. Give it a popula tion per square mile equal to thai, of Pennsyl vania, and it would have more than four j mil lions of inhabitants ; equal to that of Massa chusetts, and it would, have over ten mii-. lions I , , ' . Such lacts as these are food tor thought. They show us where the preponderating material and political power of the country will ere long be located. Westward the Star of Empire takes its way." j Admission of Colorado Her Population. Wb see It stated that the population of Colo rado is "barely fifteen thousand," and that the bill for its admission as a State is to be vetoed on that ground. Colorado polled last Novem ber 7253 votes.. Tho ratio of voters to popu lation all over the country, in 1800, was nearly one to seven. According to this vote, Colo rado would have a population of about 50,000. She furnished several fine redments to the United States service during the war, and no soldiers in the Western Department were better or braver than hers. It has never been the practice, in the ad mission of new States, to insist upon any fixed standard of population. The vote of Colorado last fall was larger than that of Nevada. There is a great clamor in per tain quarters for the admission of Florida, among other States, Just now; yet Florida polled last fall, at an election for Governor, less than 4000 votes. Her whole free population, InlSCO, was less than 80,000. It might be wel Ho lay down the rulo that no States shall be admitted into the Union unless they havo a population entitling them . to at least Jorte member ot Congress ; but tho rule should be a urilortn one, and apply to all cases. JWe apprehend that if Colorado is kept out now, it will be from political considerations prima rily, and not from want of population. Admtbal Nunez's Kkpokt. The report of the Spanish Admiral Nunez is but auother verification of the old proverb, that there 'are two sides to every question. . The first reports that we heard of the b jinbardnient ot Valpa raiso were alL strongly biassed in favor; of Chili; and it was very natural that pur people should sympathize rather with a struggling republic, even if in the wion?, than with an old monarchy so tyrannical as that oi hpaln. But the account, of the dim culty, as given by Admiral tfuNicz, unless utterly false, throws on a new light the discus sion.: For instance, he states of the Ameri can Minister j "He insisted, nevertheless, In proposing an other plan, which was that I sboulii write a manliest, statue that sin?e nothing oould pre vent the bombardment, I would desist aid spare Valparaiso. , The Commodore thought that such an act of generosity would bo aopre ciuted by the Government otCb.il', which would then declare its readiness to accede to mv tie niands. My reply wa, tbat although bvlfco do-rig I would incur the heaviest responsibility, still, for the sake ol peace, I would accept the proposition, provided a member of the Chilian (Jovemment would guarantee to nie personally, In the presence of the American Miuister, that my proceeding, would be appreciated and re ciprocated. The proposal of the Commodore was nevertheless rudely rejected by Chili." Making allowance tor the national prejudice due to his position, we cannot but view fhe rejection of such an offer by Chili as a reck less challenge for the destruction of the city. We have now heard the American naval account, the newspaper and the Spanish account, but still It would be unfair to form a flnnl Judgmont. We must wait until the Chilians speak for themselves, and the Eng lish Minister exculpates himself from the , Bevere censure which still rests on his conduct.

COMHODGRE BODUIiPS' DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS. When the .VaniUrbtt, Monadnockj and the vessels of the squadron reached hcre"thej were admitted to the. harbor by the Spanish block; adinir fleet without any demurrer. The Chiliaus thought we had come to help them by force ol arms, and the Spaniards thought so t jo. Id fact, we believed so In the fleet; but It has turned out ditlerently. . . , j In mediately on his arrival Commodore Rod pcrs made diplomatic efforts to adjust the diffi culty', 'but without avaiL Negotiations were tome lime peudii'p, and it was reported onb ard tLe vcwela that Commodore Bodfrera had suc ceeded in getting the day set for the bomoard ment postponed, in anticipation of a final ad justment, and Bub?equent!,y that he had posi tively Icibidden the bombardment. But tins is ail nonsense, as of course there is no law or prt". cedent which could authorize a neutnl fower, single-handed, in preventinsr a belligerent from firing on a belligerent city alter due notice had been given. ' . ( ....-' A KICB BIT OF REVENUE. ' The course of Commodore Rodpers and Geue ral Kilpatiick nas gnined them the repent of all classes the Spaniards, Chilians, English, Hud French and has piveu us ot the fleet' ono of the sweetest revenues ever enjoyed by num. which I will ecdeavor to explain that all Ame ricans may enjoy it. As far as this fleet, has been, the toreicn pari ol the population ot tne South American coast have been se cesh, and dunnp our war they were as insulting to ' 'Yankeis'' as tn?y dared to be. The English residents at Vulparai.-o were particularly "oar dearest trlend.-,' and hated us most cordially. During the Kebcllion they repeatedly lntormd the people of the country that the United States were "played out." At this piuce the idea o American iron-clads going outside ot a harbor was laughed at aud kept as a standing joke ever since the days of the tirt di luted Monitor. They lahshed xt the comparison of an American iron-clad with the Lcandcr and 8utlj both crack English vessels or even with the Jfumancia, Groat, was their rape when their own Admiral abandoned thera to bombardment, and greater their chagrin when, seeinp the Enplisn and French vessels leaving the harbor, they were compelled to so to Commodore Kedpcrs and beg the protection of the American cheese-oox Monadnock and American flap. It was hugely gratifying to see thee same people, who hive been abusing us for the last to nr years, nsktnp th: protection which their own fleet could not or would not' ailord. ... ' English interests in Valparaiso are Immense, American interests but a mere fraction, and the revenge was clieao, and thoje on shore who hud to suO'er enjoyei it. 1 believe it did the heart ot the old Commodore pood to refuse them protection, aud to intimate thnt he was not poing to "pull Englih chesnuts out of the fire." The French Minister asked protection tor trench interests. i "Excuse me," said the Commodore, "you had a t-quadron here." , Tardon," reptd the French Minister, "it sails to-day, aud abandons us to our fate." The Prussian Minister, tho ltaliuu Kuvov, too asked aid, but no aid could be tendered them. 'Ihe Enclish residents eot frantic, and, on the day before the bombardment published the fol lowing advertisement in the paper: ' ; FOR SALE OB TO SAIL. ' 1 Her Brltatinio Majesty's steam fripates Lewder and autlrj Iboae new and sale vossol can oe Loupht or chartered, to go anywhere or fur any pur- 1'oso, exctpt tofiyht.

Thompson, JiiLiBtor Kesidont at Santiago. , ' The Americans chuckled with dclisht, per fectly content to sutler themselves to see the agony of the French and Enplish. On Saturday the Enpli ih residents sent oil' to the English ad miral a handsome cane, m which was a hand some wooden sword! The English Miuiscor. Thompson, came to Valparaiso aud left in u hurry the day before the bombardment. His room, at the hotel was' entered and his des patches taken, and on his arrival at his hoti'l m Sanunpo he was piven notice to quit by tho pro prietor. He was also turned out of the. club of w hich he had been a member for the last lorty . years. The Enplish fleet is now at a discount, tho officers do not go ashore, and they are "damned all in heaps." On the contrary, the Encli.-h retidents say we are "bully uoys," and swear by John ilodgers, although he didn't save Iheir property. . IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS BROUGHT TO LIGH T. The Chilians, too, arclloud in their praise of us. Mere than this, they have shown their gratit ide in an important service Certain biebly im portant documents sent to the Chilian President bv the Dictator of Peru havo been Riven to (i'euerul Kilpatrlek and forwarded by him to Washington. These documents came to litrhiu this manner: Some lime ago a French stramjer euadenly died in Lima. The Peruvian Oovern nient took cliaree ot his papers, etc., as Is usual, and among tbem discovered documents which proved him to have been a French asjunt coming with proposals to tue Dictator ot Pern io make niniself King or Emperor, promising aid in men aud money from France under the Mexi can hag in other word, through Maximilian, These papers show that theie is a nice tittle scheme between France and Mpayi to makei a jump at all the South American repub'ics. Knp land approves but does not nelp by men or money.- inis wnoie unman war is part and parcel of the plan. This important inloriuation goes by this mail to Washington, and you will, doubtless, have more of it very soon from that source. , ' NO MURK BOMBARDMENTS. ' J Valparaiso, April . 9. The Spanish squadron is s-till in this harbor, aud Calluo has not been' bombarded. Ko further action ha been takan as yet aptilnat any other point on the coalt, and the Spanlsn Commodore had assured the foreign Consuls tbat ho will not renew tbe bom bardment of Valparaiso, unless his squadron was annoyed by torpedoes, or tho Government ot i mu attempted to ne severe me .surps w; the Spanuh subjects in its hands.
