IH FINANCIAL. CONUIT Itt.V. T t?i Editor 0 TM Evening Tclrgrnyh Thr in at present conMdrmb'T aaxlcy laniiested by the people in regard I) the finan cial condition of the country, arlpinR, probably, fromaii'ar that some of the wild and foolish ideag promulgated by self-inler'sted speculators will be forced upon the Government and Adopted as a financial policy. flow the country demands that those officials who have (-barge ot this great trust shall do tbolr work carefully, mnestly, and with duo regard to the interest of the whole people, and not inaugurate a system of finance which will make a aiicriminnlion in favor ot or against any particular locality or class of people. The problem, taken In a general way, is a simple one, and does not require any tinkering or vu-tonary schemes to elucidate it. We first have the facts beiore us, vlr: First. An immense debt of t wo billions of dollars aud upwards, part ot it bearing interest that re quires heavy taxation to be paid: the rest in legal-tender greenbacks, bearing no interest, and oscd as a currency. cond. We have the national banks, whose roles are secured by United States bonds, and these notes form the rest of the currency now existing, excepting a small amount oX State cur renry still afloat. Third. A part of the United States debt, in 7 3-10 note, amounting to some aix hundred millions will fall due in 1 80 7-8, convertible at the option ot the holder into 5-20 gold interest besting bonds. Four;b. Gold and silver are at a premium (suhjectto continual fluctuations), and specie payments are, as a consequence, impossible; the whole business of the country being now transacted through the two currencies, green backs and national bank notes. Flith. The business ot the country is in an unsteady condition, and many branches are suffering Irom over taxation, making all trades dull and heavy. This is the financial condition taken in a goneral view. Mow what are the wants, desires, and wishes of the people in regard to this con dition of affairs ? We believe as follows : First. The peopls want the national debt - cancelled in a sure, safe, and regular manner. .It cannot be done at once, but must be done pradually; they waat a part k Of the principal taken off every year, bo as to reduce yearly tne amount bearing in terest, and with it a proportionable reduction of the taxes. Tbey do not want to be overwhelmed with taxeo, in case another war should occur. Thej do want the taxes as equable as possible, and it any discrimination is made, they want it made in favor ot laborers and mechanics. Bccond. The people make no obiection to greenbacks or national bank notes; tbey make the best currency we ever had; they have saved millions of dollars from shavers and brokers already, and we believe the people are almost a unit in their approval of the national bank uystem, because they know each note is secured by bouds deposited, for wtrieh interest is re ceived, making each bank still more reliable and steady. A destruction of greenbacks, or any idea towards doing away with national bunk notes, is generally regarded as a ruinous policy; for how can the debt of the United States ever be extinguished except throuah the medium of these notes! Surely not by any depreciated Slate currency. Tne people are tired of usius money that requires to lie shaved, and that cannot circulate in all the States alike; they require a money that is national in its character, and thuy have got it in the present currency. As to the question in resard to the over-issue of these notes, the Comptroller of the Currency answers it when he says: "It currency is issued in excess of de mand, it la immediately returned tor rede mp- Uon, and contracts and expands as trade re quires." We believe this is as true for greenbacks a for national bank notes, and as long as these notes are reliable and secure, any excess will find its way into banks, or remain with individuals, doing no good for the time, but certainly doing no harm. We do not be lieve high prices are a consequence of a redun dant currency; if it were so, how could prices full so geuerally as they have done ?JThe trouble is, we are bating everything on a specie basis, and trying to look at the question as though evervthintr deDtniled on sneeie navniputs. it "Will take some time before we can possibly get back to the ppecie standard: any haste or tlurry Towards tnat end will only produce trouble. Specie will come into its natural channel as " soon as the condition of aflat rs warrant it, and it should not come before that time. Why is business dull, and almost everything in the shape of trade at a stand? There is plenty ot money in hand and plenty of labor, and yet they both seem paralyzed. What is tne matter! The trouble is, we believe, a very natural one, Tlz.: The taxes of home products are in reality above the tariff on- foreign products, conse quently foreign goods are flowing in on us cheaper than we can make them, and gold is flowing out to pay tor them. Now the efflux of old alone is harmless in itself, and yet it would e good policy to keep our gold at home; but.to . tax our people so much as to invite foreign competition in trade is wrong tn policy and ruinous to all progress and development. Wrill our legislators never understand that we cannot , couipeiu. wuu me ui-pttiu laoor oi uurope. mil xney never see wai tue spirit; oi our institutions , is to keep the wages of our laboring classes himb. eo - that thev may have a return -'i . i. i I. . 1. 1 : . i .i enjoy the comforts of life, and educate their children. Will they ever stop trying to regu- lata nnd rrnvern r.liia pnimt.rv fipn.nrrilnor tn European rules and ideal f liven with all the drawbacks we have had in this way, we present to day the most sublime spectacle the world ever saw. The intelligence and comfort of our laborers and mechanics astonishes and bewil ders the whole world. The good work must go on, and not be retarded by a ruinous policy which benefits the rich classes of Europe at our expense. . What remedy Is there for the present state ot affairs? A very simple one raise the tariff on foreign goods to hinb as to be beyond the risk of competition with home products; take the United States tax off of every Ihiug produced, except unnecessary luxuries; and make up the deficiency in the internal revenue by an in creased percentage on incomes. This would make but-iuess independent of taxation; each one would piiy bis tax accord ing to his profits; and if the percentage in creased by a fixed tcale (say one-half per cent, additional for every thousand dollars), the Gov ernment rould undoubtedly realize as much as by the present system. There would be less chance of Iraud; the collection of taxes would be made with less expense; there would le no intricate mimitiw, as in the present tax system, and much valuable time might be saved both by the Government aud people on thU vexed question. To make ihe receipts regular, it would only be necessary to make the time of payment of fae different in the various States. This . plan would settle the question far alljtime. It might be said that the mere taking of tax Off in this way, to put it on in another way, would not amount to anything. But we believe It would amount to something. For instance: A pays$19, 000 tax on hit productions. Increasing the price thereof enough to pay the tax; he pays say $500 income tax now, instead oi paying the 810,000. According to this plan he would Iay a higher income tax. And what would be its share if that $10,000 was divided among thirty millions of psoplef Why, 1-30 of a cent. The tax tn this way is made equable and just; it does not oppress any trade or business, but makes each one bear his share. It would be popular, because it would be national and in . accordance with the spirit of our institutions. Finance. " Two Millions of People in ParixThe popula tion of Paris, including the. arrondisBciuents or St, Penis and Sceaux, according to the census of I860, amounts to 2,150,916, which Is an increase of 107,250 above the number given in the census returns for l&ttl. As the annual expenditure of the city of Paris now amounts to uowardsor 20,000,000 francs, It follows that the local taxation is fen francs, or eight shil lings, lor every head of the population.

The anniversary of the Habbath School attached to Grace Protestant EnifiCOral Church. Twrlfth took place yesterday afternoon. Tne body o" the church was occupied principally by about seven hundred children, all belonging to the schools attached to this church. Kev. Dr. Snddards, pastor, and Bev. Mr. Keen, officiated. Ihe unglng by the childien, under the direc tion vi iToiessor aicuowan, was exeellent. During the exercises, a tabernacle of the exact form oi the one used by the Children or lrael in their wanderings In the wilderness was erected by a number of the scholars. An ele vated platform was placed In front of the p ilplt, and upon this was erected the tabernacle, to gether with the sacriflcial altar, the ark of the covenant, with all o) ' "-titul furniture. The Key. Dr. Suddards eiuOd upon the plat form, and gave a very interesting description of the tabernacle and its contents. The church was crowded, and all present appeared to be highly delighted. The tabernacle was one twelfth the size of the one built by the Children of Israel. The Sabbath Schools of the First Reformed Presbyterian Church held their anniversary yesterday afternoon. The opening religious exercises were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Kims and the Rev. Mr. Grant. The singing by the Sunday School children was interspersed with addrebccs by the Rev. Drs. Wylie, Fairtes, and others. There are sixty teachers and about five hundred Fcholars attached to this school. Interesting exercises were also had yesterday by the Sabbath Schools of the Fifteenth Presby terian Church. The opening prayer was made by the Rev. Dr. Breed, aud addresses were made by the Rev. E. Long, Dr. Breed, Mr. John Wana maker, and ex-Governor Pollock. Ihe report of the superintendent stated that two hundred and sixty-three Fcholars are ou the roll, and that the average attendance amounts to one hundred and seventy-three. The fifty-first anniversary of the Sunday Schools of St. Paul's Protestant Episcopal Church took place yesterday afternoon in the main audience-room, which is jet decorated with Its Christmas dress of evergreens, and has over the chancel the word "Jesus," formed by gas jets. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, Indeed, many persons who were un able to obtain standing room did not remain. Rev. Heber Newton, the pastor, officiated, assisted by other clereymen. The exercises consisted of the anthem. 'The Earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof,'' bv the children, lollowed by a prayer. The Infant School then sang the hymn, "Would you be a3 Angels are?" and a hymn of welcome was also eiven. A ser mon was next preached, after which the pre sentation of the offerings took place. The lat was a very interesting part of the exercises.' The offerings are the sums of money collected during the year for missionary aud other pur poses, and they were taken up by the scholars choRen for the purpose, each class being called in its order. St. Paul's Sunday School has always been among the most flourishing in the city. Report on Abolishing Cess-pits. Mr. Kneass, ihe Chief Engineer and Surveyor, in his annual report for 1C6, refers to the neces sity of abolishing (graduully) the use of cess pils or privies a measure which that officer recommended to the attention of Councils in several ot his reports. The Chief, in again call ing attention to this important measure, says that the local Registrars in London record the heaviest death rates in districts where the cess pit is used in prelerence to the water-closet. The operation of cleaning the pits is loul, mis chievous, and unremunerative, while the loss to the inhabitants in damage to health cannot be estimated; and although streams and rivers may be fouled, yet it is distinctly asserted that the value of human life has been increased in proportion as cess-pits have been abolished and refuse removed in water from the tenements. It is also believed that in many cases, though the cess-pit is condemned by the judgment of the patties, yet the fear of sewer changes are by them mole dreaded. Cholera requires ferment ing filth, foul air, and squalor, and thebe ele ments are necessary to grow such disease before they can prevail and become epidemic, and, thcrefoie, as compared with privy and cess-pits, the water closet is a vast improvement Mr. Kneass gave some very interesting data of the sewerage system in other countries, and especially ot the great cities in Europe. In con cluding his report upon this subject, he refers to the offal Irom slaughter-houses, and says that something should be done at once to eet rid of the nuisances engendered by them. The report states "that there are but few of our sewers that are not horribly polluted with the refuse of those establishments, and our river gives evi dence that some arrangement ought to be made by which we should be relieved, at least, from those nuisances which are repulsive both to smell and sight. Our sister cities are advancing in these particulars more rapidly than we are, hs they have already, at Chicago and New York, authorized abattoirs.or general slaughter-houses, whereby the city Is relieved irom all these annoy ances, snd if properly managed, insured healthy flesh for the market." Oub Fibemen. On Saturday afternoon theWeccacoe fire Company housed a new and Bplendid truck. It is painted a beautiful car mine, tastefully picked iu with blue and gold; all the iron work Is handsomely polished. In front the truck is surmounted with a silver plated areh hearing the company's name. The signal lamp is an elaborate piece of workman Phip, The apparatus has four small lamps, hit serviceable axes, and seven ladders of different sizes. The "Weccacoe boys" may congratulate themselves on having the handsomest truck in the United States. The builders are Messrs. Gardner & Fleming. The whole affair reflects credit on the Philadelphia artisans and on the committee having charge of the buildiner. The cost of the truck will reach near one thousaud dol lars. On the occasion of the housing, the mem bers turned out in large force, and iu the even ing a neat collation was served up. A meeting has been held by citizen at the Falls ol Schuylkill and vicinity for the purpose of organizing a fire company and procuring the proper apparatus. : . " The Congress Fire Company, of Germautown, have erected a new building near the old one story affair heretofore used.

Dabing Thhft op JjfWELBY. On Satur day evening a youn man, genteelly dressed, walked into the jewelry store ot Mr. W. W. Caesidy, on Second street, below Market, and 6tated to the proprietor that about the first of tho new year he bad seen a ring on a tray in the window which had taken his lancy, and which he thought he should like to purchase. The tray ol.diiimond rings was handed out ior inspection, ar.d at the moment it was within the stranger's reach the store door was opened, doubtless by an accomplice. The tray was then seized by the young man, and he hurried oil with it. The hue and cry was raised, and pursuit was given. No doubt the slippery condition of the footways prevented the fellow from making his escape. Near Chesuut and Front streets he wax brought to by a private watchman, but not until he had thrown the tray of lewelry from him. lie was taken to the Union Street Station House, where he gave the name of James Murphy. As he ran from the store some ot the rings fell out of the tray, all of which were I ,-vered but about four or live, valued at from six to seven hundred dollars. The prisoner had a hearing before Alderman Beitler yesterday, and wa9 committed for trial. Boy Shot. Last evening, about 6 o'clock, John Lewis, a lad of about 14 years of age, was shot in the arm while in the neighborhood of Wood and Garden streets. There had been a feud between Lewis and a boy named Cole. Farly laHt evening, while Cole" was engaged in liahtiug lamps, he met Lewis, and a fight ensued. This was soon over, and Cole went over his route and again met LewiB. Cole alhges that Lewis was accompanied by a party of bids, and that he was about to assault him when he drew a pistol and discharged it, the ball glancing the chin and taking eflect in the right arm of Lewis, inflicting a paiuful, but not dangerous wound. Lewis walked home, where his wounds were dressed. P" DoBTlcULiuitAL, Hall. This large building, next to the Academy of Music, seems to be in a daccerous condition.
