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;

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

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

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: '

' 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.
