Shall United States Bonds be Taxed ? Wb have hoietoore otsitted all reference to tho recent speech ot II .n. John Sherman, until an authorized copy of his address should come to hand. Such a one has been placed before ust but at the Fame time so ablo a com pond mm ot' the whole address fiom the New York Evening Fast, that we cannot do better than merely republish tho synopsis as given In our New Yoric contemporary: "Mr. fcHKUMAi first laid It down as settled law, be yond all question, that do Mate can tax the bunds of tbe United Mates, unless tbe riirbt to do so Is ex presalv conceded tu the aot ol Conerwe. Hiioli a power In the Slaws, be taid, 'is entirely inconsistent witn tbe supreme power ol ttin General Ciovernmnnt te boriow uionu.' And tbt poini, he savs, 'is settled more c early than almost anv filiation ot onstilutii ti al taw which has ever been mooted lu tbis Uovernmont.' 'He re ten, lor a-eoeral principles, to the noted case or McCULtocH agnint tbe State ol Miry land;' and fur a speoilio docition, to the cose of 'VY'ipton against the C'itv of Charleston," id 2d lVters, 149 ihe City ot chareston, la 1829, un lor authority of a Mate law, levied a tax upou United Mates bunds in the hands ot a citizen. The huprome Court of the Slate decided iu favor of the validity of the tax ; but Judjte Huobr diasouted on the frrouud that if tbe States can tax the stock of tbe United btatos, 'it is lmuosmb e not to por tfire that tbe fiscal operations of the genoral Government may be completely frustrated by the JS.atti.' He said, 'Congress mar oiler ten por co it. lor loans, but who will lend, it tbe iStatoj can appropriate the whole to their own use? Ine ase came before tbe tiupreme Coart of the United btatos, and tho Judges concurred unanimously la the decision which was riven ojr Jude Marshall, that to allow the taxation of liovernmeut securities would enable the status co destroy t be power ol tbe National Government, prevent it tr m prosecuting a war, and trom maintaining the authority of tbe United States.' 1 nis view has been acquiesced in by every Judge that has evAr sat upon that bench, aud bas never since been controverted by any state Of the Union. "1 be question was broairht up while J udge Tan et was on tbe bench, in "Dobbins vs. the Commis sioners ot Erie Company, ' and the principle was reaflirnied. Also, in tbe 'liink of Com neice vs. Tax Commissioners of New York City.' in 1862. In one cane, ol later date, the Court held bv a majority, that share, in the national banks may bo taxed, oe cause it was evidently the intention oi Congress not to exempt the shaies from taxa'ion, it the States choose to tax them It is, therefore, a settled prin ciple of law whether it is inserted in the acr or not, that United Sta es bonds cannot be taxed by tie fctatis, un ess Coucrress chooses to make itau express part of tbe contract at ih time ol making the loan. ' On the question whether Congress should inoor poiateintue act a permission to the Mates to tax the bouds, be asked whether it would bo wi'o now to allow to tbe btatos such a t ower ovr tho puulio oredit. All the Ponds outstanding are guaranteed against twin? taxed. If the new bouds are not thus exemp ed. who would sur endor an existing bond for a new one at live per cent., liable to taxation at the pkasure of every Saief ' On tho argument that it Is unjust to exempt so much piopciiy tiom locai taxos, he said it was not a privilige to the holder of tbe bonus but a right ot the supreme power ot tbe whoe country to borrow money on the most tuvorab e terms in its powor. If tbe p esent rate of linero t were to be continued the tax-payer might justly complain tint ii euuh torras are oAerea as will induce ibe bondholder to be satis lied with five pur cent tor bis money, while Mm tax peyer gets a x or seven per cent, tor his, the bond holder may say with truth. "I pay ny tax in ad van oo " 'Ibis toicvlu England has reduced tho rate of interest on public secur.ties lroai six to three per cent. "Mr SnERMAN closed this part'of his argument in these v oids: 'I say, therefore, that in every vlow in which 1 can take ol this bill, it is a wio measure, intended to tave interest on iho puolio debt, tu ad just on correct principles equality of taxation, and to lighten the enormous t nrdons npon our people. 1 find there is another leature which commends it to my favor. It this bill pass in the toim in which it now s ands, tho tnndnoidnrs will themselves pay off the principa1 ol the pukiio debt. The one per cent, saved on the rate of interest will pay off every do lar of this debt in thirty-six years. When the fundholder and the tax-payer stand before the pubho hustings, and tins matter is dragged into politics, as It will be, and tho tax-payer says to the tuna bolder. 'Your property is exempt and tiee from ail tax,' the fundnoldor may say, 'No, my mend, it is ot; your money vou can loan to your neighbor at six per cent. Interest, and the law enables you to collect tbe prlnopal at pleasure; I have already paid for this privilege by deducting one-aix'h of my income; I have surrendered the principal sum loaned by me for an annuity for thirty-six years, and my share ol the taxes wi.l pay off evciy dollar of the debt within one feuerat:on.' " From the able speech from which we have quoted so tully, two conclusion can be (Re duced: 1st. The United States have a right to prevent State taxation on the bonds; 2d. Such an exemption la an act of no inlustice to non holders. We may add another ntatement to those already made, which go so far as to deny that the non-taxation clause will in the least decrease the popularity of the bill. A recent article in opposition to the funding plan declared that those who were unable to buy the Consols would dislike this discrimination In favor ot a special kind of investment. We do not think that such dislike will amount to more than au insignificant faction. Tho sum to be absorbed is over a thousand millions within the next two years, besides twice that sum as soon as possl. ble. This thousand millions will naturally draw into its investment hundreds of thousands of people. Parties who have bat piittle, and desire to have that little safely put away, will nock to secure these long-runninK bonds. Of course, the smaller each investment tbe larger the number of prisons interested, and within this class will be Included all those who pay the most taxes, and attend to he finances of the nut on. As the loan is offered to all, why should those who nro either debarrel by necessity or unwilll.ignea from Invest ins, be indicrnanT. We consider the non-taa. tion clause as one of the greatest evidences of its popularity, and as an indispensable requisite to the success of the plun. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. McCuLLOcn for the careful dvising of the sys tem, and to Senator Sukkman for the ability with which he has urgod Its claims. Whatever may be the difference of opinion in regard to the Secretary's political course, there can be no denial to him of tbe elements which make the able finance minister. Despite the unexpected opposition from certain powerful quarters, we predict the adoption of the plan which of all OtheiB meets the popular wishes. A Perjured Judge. Thi dogma of State supremacy seem to prevail In Virginia much as of yore. Thus we find that in the Virginia Circuit Court, sitting at Alexandria, last week, when the case of the Commonwealth against Roi (a white man charged with felony) was on trial, tha Common wealth's attorney asked that he might be per mitted to Introduce negro witnesses to tentify, claiming the right to do so undr the provisions of the Civil Rights bill. Judge Thomas decline! mission, on the ground that it was a State conrt, and he was acting nndor the laws of the Plate ol Virginia, which torbade that a nero should testify In a case against a white man, except when tbe ease arises out of an Injury done, attempted, or threatened to the person, property, or rights of a colored person or Indian, or when tbe offense was committed by a white person in conjunction with a colored person or Indian. The Judge slated that It was his deter mination to execute the laws of tho State until be was ordered to do otherwise. Yet this Virginia Judge has taken a solemn oath to support the Constitution of the United States, which provides that the laws of Con gress shall be the supreme law of the laud, "and the Judges in every State shtU be bound ttiercby, anything in the Constiulion or tarns of any Mat to the contrary notw!lhtnn'ling.,' Acre is the very case prnvHed tor by the Constitution. Virginia's State law conflicts with a law ft Concress. Tho Constitution says that In such a case the Judge cl the State court shall be bound by the law of Congress. This Juisre has sworn to support the Constitution, and yet refuses to obey this law of Congress on the ground that it conflicts with a law of his State 1 Could there be a clearer case of moral pcrltiry 1 This is reconstructed Virginia ! The Stnto of AfTaiig In East Florida. Tun reports brought to us of the condition of various parts of the South by Northern moi are so extremely contradictory, depending en tirely whether Its scenes are viewed through roochte-tinted or darkened glasses, that it is next to Impossible to decide on tne trae state of affairs In the laLe Rebel sections. While we have had diflerent reports from nearly all tho Common wealths, yet front Florida we have re ceived no account, favorable or otherwise. We therefore gladly give space in our columns far a letter, some extracts from which we give below, which reveals to us the social status ot the races. The le'ter was written by a resident in tbe vicinity, and one who has always been considered periectly reliable. We make allow ance, bowever.for exaggeration, but, making all deductions, the btate of affairs it reveals is enough to arouse the thinking classes of the North to the dangers to which they are exposing the blacks by their supine Indifference to the laws demanded by justice. " But the chief and most drcadod trou'ilo here are tbe Bebels. No Northern man or negro is safe hore You do not know what moment you may be shot' They curse tho Yankees and the Government without any scruples Tbev do all they can to make it dis agreeable and dangerous tor Northerners fettling bore, and as for tho treedmon, thov front thorn llko dogs, whipping and even shooting them. They get as much work out of tho o.ucks as the can, and tnon ohoat them out ol ail tneir pay. A Northern mm can obtain as much help ai he within, while thi Southerner cannot grt one hand, though he hildi out every inducement, for ihe negroes feel thut they are only inducements. On tho 6th ol the month (April) we were oalled upon to soe some Southern roc instruction. Ou the plantation adjoin, ng us tbero was a man murdored. The tacts of the case are as follows : "Tho captain of the State militia in this plaoe, ac companied by his brother and the owner of the plantation, came down on hor-oback that night, as they said, to search for arms among tho nogroos, as it was against tbe law tor them to have any. V bile one pai ty was searching our planta'ion, the othor went to tbe next. In tbe latter was tho Captain's brother. He rode up to the nepro houses, asked one of tho men the question about the ai nis, aud when answored yes, got down off his horse and deliberately snot at him. The ball only grazing the man, be stopped up and fired again, saying, "There, take that, you Ihe mau'a wife ran and caught hor husband as be fell, oho told the white man that he tuuruered her husband, when ho aosworod with an oath, and tbrea cnod to shoot her unless she was still. He tlen rode oil Now to my certain knowledge a coronet's Jury sat on the murdered man, and that was all tho attention the civil autho rities have paid to tho u flair. The murdoror Is stilliut larse, and boasts that he will Bhoot fifteen more, that no one dare disturb him. Ha has shot three negro s bof jre, but only wounded thorn. Tbe State militia in tbe State, I kno v, is nothing more than a set ot pure ( f ) Confederate soldiers no, not sol diers, but guerillas; and, I fear, our Oovornmeut will find it no when it is too late. I am perfoctly as tonisbed at the way in which Northern papers spoak of the feeling in the Gulf States. They shou'd be under strict military force lor five years at least. For my part, J feel that the four years of to ir have not done any good, instead of that. I fear, much h'trm. It has laid the country in waste, it has I rood lour mill.ona of slaves, and turned them out of houses and labor, and they have no protection afforded them; and, not being a pvco of p-o,ierty, their for mer masters do all they can to outiago them, and I, for one, will say thoy are worse off for protection to day than seven yeais ago." The name of the murderer we withhold in order to protect the writer. The letter was not intended for publication, and although by a comparatively uneducated person is, by one whose loyalty and devotion to our cause none can question. The statements it contains, and Its tone, show us bow the triends of the nation iu the Southern States view the piesent aspect of Northern noil tics. All looks dork. They absolutely once more siph for the flesh-pots of Eery pt with slavery. Thoy feel deserted by those who had promised to be their friends, who have led them out of cup tivity to leave them to perish in the desert. We are told thai the negro will not work; and can vie wonder? We have never met a Northern n an who had any cause to complain; and if the statements we publish arc true, which is more than likely, need we be surprised at the freed nieu's unwilhnguess to serve their former mas ters? We would willingly disbelieve the state ment of the murder unpunished, were we not forced to a conviction of its truth by a mass ot corroborate evidence, while the necessity of a large military force Is announced by the Lienltnanl-Geucral himself. All that we can advise is that our readers should think of tbe facts luid before them, and deel lo for them selves wb ether in leniency or severltv will be lound tho remedy lor the existing stale ot evil aud Injustice. Assistant Secretary of thk Navy. The nomination, by the I'residont, ot Hon. William Faxon, Chlet Clerk of the Navy Department, to be Assistant Secretary. will give general satisfac tion. The system of appointing those who, from long years of falthtul service and experience, are best qualified to discbarge the duties of a post tion, is one that will meet the popular approval. In the present case, Mr. Faxon has eminently merited the honor, and is renowned as acorteous as well as a most faithful public servant. His nomination will be, without doubt, confirmed by the Senate, aud the public have an opportunity to hear from him in a higher but not more hon orable sphere. If he Is as faithful in his new post as be was tn his old, the most censorious w ill be satisfied. TI1E VETERAN MUSTKRED OUT." Tub Father of American Warriors, the relic of another age, and rugged monument of victories won half a century ago, has at last fallen be neath the encroaching band of Time. Lleute-nant-Gencral Winfibld Scott died suddonly this morning. The people will ne shocked at the announce' ment, not so much because of any hope entor talncd of a continuance ot his already extended life, but because we had brought ourselves to believe that he would never die we had been so long accustomed to speak of him as living, and likely to live. But now he has gone at last, Tho old hero, the leader ot our war of 1812, the chief against the Ind ans, the famous sol dier and poor statesman, has at last been called to his long rest. Forgotten are the failures of his latter days, forgotten the mistake of 18C1 the people only look upon one who, years and years ago, was their General, and, at Lundy's Lane, proved that prowess which was his, till age de stroyed his powers of action. It is for him they mourn, bat the grief will be mitigated with the thought that ho had fought a good fight, he had worked out his problem of life, and, having roached the end, quietly departed whrn all was done. He has left usTul' of honors and years. II has seen bis country, for which ho fought fifty years a;;o, safe from all dangers of war; and nov, like a warrior wearied, he has laid him down to sle-p. To him may be applied ihe lines of the ' Iron Duke': "See tbe lender of our glor'ous wars, Non to g orious burial slowly borno, Followed by the brave of other lands. Ho On whom, with both her open hands. Honor Meyer showered a'l nor stars, And allluent fortune etiptled all hor horn Not once nor twice, in our rough island story, Tbe path of duty is the way to glory." Him FROM FORTRESS M3SIR0E. JtlT. Ilavln Fnjoys HI Paroln and Urows impatient for Ills Trial Fortress Monroe, May 26. Jeff. Davis shows undisguised appreciation of his psrole of the toit. He has been out to-day as much as the weather would permit, and made several calls. He lalks with undisguised trauknes regarding his expected trial, and places no credit in the rumor that he will not be tried lor aeveral months yet. He certainly expresses himself more anxious tliau ever that no suc'i postponement will take place. It is believed here, however, that there is good ground for the rumor; but in caso of such postponement bciug agreed upon, it is thought 'hat he will be pamled itud uilowed to go home till his trial takes place. The statement ab jut Dr. Cooper, lu connection with receiving articles wished to be sent hue by Jeff. Davis' frieuds for his use, is somewhat exaggerated. He expressed such willingness as lecards summer clothinff, but staled that unless the clothing was sent before the 1st ot June it would probably be to late, as Mr. Davis would then probably he re moved lor trial. He made no reference to Mr. Davis dying by that time. JV. 1". Uerwd. Convtutlun or Amrrican Israelite.
