WAnixoToM, Nov. 25.-In tba present un certain condition of the financial and business InteresU of the country, it ia important to bring to light the Judgments and opiniona of those whose past experience, official portions, and recognized ability In financial matters Rive weight to their views on the leading questions Of the hour, vl. those relating to the public ?. "... taxatlOD, ami currency. Keelinir that tho country would regard with special lnteiest the views of Chief Justice Chase on Oieso questions, your correspondent has taken occasion to consult him on one or two points, of course leaving many ponioni of the general subject untouched, which, if elucidated with equal clearness, would doubt- les prove of great interest at the presont Junc ture. The work of Hcergtarj Chafe, though it is generally conceded among intelligent men to have been conducted with an ability exceed tun that which characterized any other phase of our war history, has not been generally under stood. It may be stated under three hea.lt: I. To establish satisfactory relations between the public creiit and the productive industry of the country in oibor words, to obtain supplies. The suspension of the banks put an end to the first and most obvious resort, loans of gold, and made neir methods indispensable. Then the Secretary resorted to lefj-al-tender notes, made them a cffironcy. and borrowed them as cash. The patriotism of the people came in aid of the labors of the Treasury and the legislation of Congress, and the first great object was made secure. II. To provide agaiust disastrous results on a return 01 peace. This could only be done by providing a nntional currency. There were about 1500 Slate banks in existence, which wanted to make their own paper tb currency of the country. This the Secretary resisted, anil contiucd bis loans to greenbacks; but he did not drive out their cuneucy, nor indeed did he think it exactly honest to to deprive them of it, without giving any equivalent. To neutralize their opposition to a national currency and make them allies as far as possible, instead of enemies in his endeavors to secure such re sults he proposed the natioi.al banking system, and be lore he left tho department Us success was assured. The national blinks were certain to be useful in many wavs, out the Secretary's main object was the establishment of a national currency. This, Mr. Chase remarked, saved us from panic and revulsion at the end of the war, anil is of inestimable value to men of labor and men of business indeed, to every class. III. The thiid division of his labor was to pro vide a.lunding system. It was unavoidable during the Rebellion that every means of credit should be used. lie borrowed money every way he could at reasonable rates. The form that suited one lender did not suit another; und the army and navy needed every dollar that co lid be raised in any form. Hence temporary loans, certificates of deposit, certificates of indebted ness, 730 notes, compound interest notes, Trea sury notes payable alter one aud tiro years, etc. But 1t was tecefsary to have luudlng loans, into which all these temporary loan could be ultimately merged. To this end the Secretary established the 5-20 loan and the 10-40 loan. His belief was that alter the $514,000,000 of the 5-20 loan had been taken, the additional amounts needed could be obtained by the 10-40 loan and the temporary loans; but the Secretary was ready to resort to the 5-20s in case of emergency. He did get $73,000,000 in t he 10-40 loan, and his suc cessors got about $1'J0,000,000 more, at par. And Mr. C. has never been able to see any good reason formakiogthe 730 notes subsequently issued convertible, at the holder's option, into 6-20s instead of 10 40s. Lenders, of course, pre ferred the former, bean as 0 per cent, in gold, to the latter, beating only Ave per cent.; and lenders were rather more favored after he left the Department than before and so, indeed, were brokers, for Mr. Jay Cooke got nearly or quite twice as large commissions uuder Fessen den and McCulloch as Secretary Chase allowed him. It is easy to tee how Mr. Chase's funding sys tem work) d, by examining the last statement of the public debt. The condition is something like this: $1,200,000,000 6-20s; $200,000,000 10-40s; $20t,000,COO '81s pajable now after 14 years, which can then easily be put into 10-409; other lounB (all temporary), say $500,000,000, of which three-fourths consist of 7,30s, con vertible, and certain to be converted into 10 40s; and say $400,000,000 greenbacks, including frac tional currency, making the debt of $2,500, 000,000. So, It may be 6een, the whole debt ex cept '81s is already funded, or sure to bt funded in 5-20 six per cents, or 10 40 five per cents. Can there be a better funding system? Mr. Chase says there cannot, let there is talk of a new funding loan 1 The object rs to catch gudgeons by apparently yielding to the popular clamor for taxation on bonds. The scheme is to ofler a new six per cent, loan, with reservation of a right to tax not ex ceeding one per cent.; in other words, a new won taxable 5 per cent, loan; and it is proposed to make tbis a long loan say 30 years. ' It wilt be maenificent," Mr. Chase remarks, "for brokers, bankers, and lenders, but death on the people." Of course, su;h a loan can be negotiated; for a 6 per cent. 30-year loan, untaxable, is worih more in the market, be cause it will collect more out of the tax-payer for the bondholder than any loan now out standing; ai.d nothing is more certain in the future than that Government will be paying, within Bve years, 5, 10, and even 15 per cent, tor the privilege ot paying its debt bofore ma turity. Tbe Secretary concedes it may be well enough to make the Joan m the form proposed, if the clamor for taxation will be satisfied by it; but why make it Jor twenty years or thirty years, instead of adhering to the ten-forty plan, by which tho debt ts redeemable at any time after ten jears, and thus kept under the control of the people ? The Secretary has no doubt that, if our finances are pro perly' njanaeed, we can borrow withiu ten j ears at 4 per cent. or 6 with right to tax at one-fifth as we con now boirow at 6 or 6, with riht to tax at one-sixlh. Why biud ourselves to pay either rate of interest for thirty years, when it is not only unnecessary, but certuin to eutyil a heavy additional expense in the form of premiums lor redemption 1 When Secretary Chae negotiated at par the 73,000,000 of 10-40 live p-r cents, the currency was much less inflated that it has been ever blue? aud is now. The Issues of the greenbacks, and the indisposition of Congress" to tax the (state bank currency out oi circulation, caused almost all tba inflation that toon plato under Mr. Chase's administration. The late inflation does not seem to him required by public exigencies. The greenback, he declare, should have been retired nearly or quite part r8su with the issues of nmloual bank note5", mul t lip efi uilibrium preserved. The comj arative inflation will appear from a Statement OI tue tircuiauuu mix uir out-1 oi June, 1864, when Mr. Cbnse lelt the Department, s.nd tbe auiu oiouuc, touu. N Jl-NE 30 ism. XT B.

Tt tnijune. ImprBilon f tba Presldeat Feradlae; lmpiirkmit Opinio of Senator Johnson. Hon. Keverdy Johnson, of Maryland, has pre pared an appendix to his pamphlet npon "I'tie Dangerous Condition of the Country," in which he alludes to the position held by Mr. Stevens nd other, that the President can be suspended duilng the pendency ot impeachment. Mr. John son, in this appendix, says: "Since the first edition of this pamphlet the writer has been informed that some of the mem bers of Congress profess to be of opinion that that body can, by statute, declare that pendency of an Impeachment of the President stiall con stitute a disability on his pnrt to perform the functions of his office. It is supposed that by such legislation he may be brought within the meaning of the clause in the first section of the second article of the Constitution which pro vides for hlB rimoval for, among other causes, his Inability to discharge the powers and duties tbereo. The answers to the proposition are several, and conclusive:- 1. The clause does not contemplate a mere siif-pension or temporary removal. The re moval provided for In such case is the same as lhat which is to result from conviction npon Impeachment, or lrom death, or resignation, which, of course, is not a temporary but a per manent one. The removal on conviction ts, alto, not only permanent, but is followed by the further judgment ot disqualification to hold any other office under the Government. It will hardly be maintained that Congress cn, by statute, create a greater punishment than this, or make it les. The subject was evidently not designed to be submitted to the discretion of Congress. This being so, for the same reason Congress is not intrusted with the pover to declare any other judgment in the case of removal from 'inability' than the one which is to Hieuo the happening ot either of the other event mentioned in tho clause. 2. The inability mentioned is such an inability as renders the President permanently incapable ol discharging his duties. Any other interpre tation would give to Congress the authority to provide that temporary absence from tho seat ot government, or temporary slcKnes?, or any other event, snouiu constitute an "inauinty." mere is, also, no Judicial judgment to be pronounced n sucn a case, me removal, a? m the case ot death or resignation, is to take place the mo ment the contingency happens, and the duties of the office Instantly devolve upon the Vice- xTPeiaenT. 3. As the judgment, on imncachment. inflicts no personal punishment, as the trial may go on as well without as with the presence In the kite of the President, and as that bodv has CTkauthorlty to compel his attendance, it is obvious that he is just as capable duriug the trial to perform the duties of his office as he is before or after a Judgment of acquittal. Under the power to pass all laws necessary and proper to execute the powers granted, ro such autho rity as the one in question belongs to Congress, no legislation Deing necessary to ettect the ohieet of the clause that being accomplished tbe mo m lit the event occurs of an "inability" within he constitutional meaning of that term. Touching Appeal for Divorce. iitm the Vincennes Sun. Tbe followlnc is a true cony of an aDDllcatlon filed with our County Clerk, the 28th ult.( by n party living in tbis county. We omit the name ot the applicant: state ot mdiaua, county ot Knox, ss.

He lurtter Bays, ana represents to your Honor, that he has written many affectionate letteis to her, in wnicn'ne nas endeavored to gotten her heart towards him, and one time he wrote her a letter, ot wtiica lie nere appends a copj: My deuest Harriet, why liave you Ier;meT f gting wteniL.K,a.l aloUM, V lib none lo talk to, or rare a me My wrelcutd 'ale I much bemoan. - "My eyes are swollen big wltb weaplng-, My tioHo a ret and iwollen, too; I lia lu all re peels tue p re,l keeping Uf any man woo tiles 01s duty for lo do.

Wherefore he prays your Honor w'll hear his prayer herein, and forever divorce him from Uc saiu Harriet. Denny & Riiu.LT, for retiUrer. ConnETT's Lovk Making. I sat in the same room with her for about an hour, in company with others, and 1 made up my mind that she was the very girl for me. That I thought her beautiful is certain, for that 1 had always said should be an indispensable qualification; but I saw in her what I deemed marks of that so briety of conduct of which I have said so much, and which has been by far the greatest blessing of my life. It was now dead of win ter, and, of course, the enow several feet deep on the ground, aud the weather piercing cold. It was my habit, when I naa done my morn ing's writing (he rose at 4 o'clock), to go out at break of day to take a walk on a hill, at the foot of which our barracks lay. In about three mornings after I had first t-een her I had, by an invitation to breakfast with me, got up two young men to ioin me in uij walk; and our road lay by the houee of her lather ana motUer. It was hardly light, but she was out on the snow scrubbing out a washing-tub. "ihat'g the girl for me," said J, when we uaa got out U her hearing. They were engaged; out, atter a time, the artillery went to i-uglaua trom Canada, ami she along witu tiieiu. conuett had saved X10O. ana tins lie sent to ma nine brunette" before Ehe sailed, desiring her not to spare the money, but buy herself good clothes and live without hard work.. It was four long years after this when Cobbe-tt's regi ment returned to r.ugland, and "I found," he says, "my little girl a servant of all work (and bard work it was) at five pounds a year, in the house of a Captain lli iaae: and. with out haidly saying a word about the inatUr, sue put lino my nanas tne wbole of my hun dred aud fifty pounds unbroken."
