TUB FUNDING BILt.-) 1 1 The nooessity of refunding the national debt in some mode that will reduoe $he rate of interest and thus diminish its annaal burden to the people, 1b now generally acknowledged, and the reoont discussions of tbi subject in the United States Senate indicate that deoi siT6 action will be taken at no distant period. The prerailing differences affect rather the details than the principle involved in such a measure, and the leading points In dispute are exemplified by the provisions of the bill reported by the Finanoe Committee, through Senator Shorman, on the one hand, and the substitute proposed by Senator Sumner on the other. Both propositions aim at substan tially the same end, and in some sections thoy are almost identical. But as our readers may be interested in the divergences of opinion, we will give a brief abstraot of the most im portant, j The first section of Mr. Sumner's bill pro poses that a ten-forty loan of $.700,000,000, bearing interest at the rate of five per cent., shall be contracted, with the understanding that only specie, or the five-twenty bonds of 1862 at par, shall be received in exchange for the new bonds. The first section of Mr. Sherman's bill proposes that a tenitwenty five per oent. loan of $400,000,000 shall be con tracted, with the understanding j that any of the five-twenty bonds may be teooived in exchange, at par, for the new bonds whioh would represent the new loan. Mr. Sherman alleges that nearly all the five-twenties of 18C2 are held abroad exclusively, and he does not see (nor do we) why Buoh special pains should be taken to advance the interests of foreign bondholders by giving them the mo- ' nopoly of the best new loan the (Government proposes to issue. . Mr. Sumner's reason for his preference is that, as the credit of the five-twenties of 18G2 has been njiost severely attacked, it should reoeive the best pro tection, but this reason is not' sufficient to , justify the discrimination in favor of foreign interests whioh he proposes to make. The seoond and third seotions of the re spective bills differ mainly in the faot that Sumner's bills authorize aloan of $500,000,000 ! each, while Sherman's bill authorizes two loans of $ 400,000,000, and that jthe proposed time of repayment is fixed at a more distant period by the Senator from : Massachusetts than bv the Senator from Ohio. Mr. Sher man also proposes that agents may be ap pointed abroad as well as at home to nego tiate the new loans, and that coupons may be made payable in Europe (while Mr.. Sumner does not favor this policy), and lit. Sherman ' proposes to ensure the earnest co-operation of the national banks in disposing of the new bonds, while Mr. Sumner would leave them comparatively indifferent to the fate of the new bill. I . In brief, these differences may be summed up in. the general statement that Mr. Sher man's project combines a far better prospect of practical success than the measure pro posed by Mr. Sumner. It aims at borrowing a smaller amount of money, adopts better means to push the new loani and make it popular at home and abroad, asks a shorter time for repayment, and makes better provi sions for the inevitable day of redemption And as the prime requisite of snob, a measure is suocess, It will be infinitely better to pass a law well calculated to attain the desired end than to cripple the nation with a "How not to do it" scheme. i I OUR NAVAL STRENOTB:. " Secretary Robeson and Vioe-Admiaal Porter have both endeavored to depreoiate the character of our navy, and to represent that we are in suoh a position with regard to this branch of our military establishment as to be utterly unable to cope, on ! anything like equal terms, with any of the leading powers of Europe. ' After having been bat a few . months in office, Secretary Robeson made a report whioh was as damaging in its state- menU aa the worst enemies of the country could desire, and the purport of the whole document seemed to be to show how very bad indeod the affairs of the navy were when Mr. "Welles went out of office, and hew ' much the present administration had ' done to bring about an imprpvement. Mr. . Welles wrote a letter full of facts and figures, tbat in many particulars appeared to be an unanswerable answer to the .statements of bis ' Bucoessor. To this Secretary Robeson has not made any reply, and the only conclusion . tne pubiio can arrive at is tnat ne Has no reply to make, and that Grandfather Welles knows more about our naval affairs than he has ever had credit for. The teport of the Secretary, however, has been quoted in Europe, and the English pipers in prtioular . .have been exceedingly jubilant over It, To complete the triumph of onr British Avals Yice-Admiral Porter, who figures in the Navy Register as "Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy," after visiting the Monarch a few days ago at Annapolis declared her to be the greatest naval vessel afloat,, and said that she could easily conquer any vessel belonging to our navy, and that she can run down any of . our iron-olads and monitors J Even presum ing that our navy is ia as bad a condition, 'as the Secretary and the Vice-Admiral represent, the propriety of thus deolaring the faot to the world, and instituting suoh comparisons between ourselves and our foreign rivals, is The publio will remember in this' connec tion that only a very few years ago the Miau tonomah visited Europe and exoited the utmost admiration. Neither England nor France had a vessel that could compare with hor, and she was represented at that time as a fair speoimon of our monitor fleet. We have now our monitors and our best woo len vessels, as we had then, unless they have been allowed to rust and rot until they are worthloss; and if this is the case, an effort should be made to find out who is responsi ble. At the close of the war our navy was not considered entirely worthless, either in this country or in Europe, and if England or France surpass us in number or strength of vessels, it is because they have made great efforts . to build new ships with all the modern improvement! since we ceased building any. It is perfect folly to suppose that we must exert ourselves to maintain at all times a naval force equal to that of England or other European powers, and that as fast as new iron-olads are turned out in Europe we must put them afloat here. If our present force is properly managed it is amply sufficient for any sudden emergency, and it is in the worst possible taste, to say the least of it, for the head of the Navy De partment and the admirals of the navy to spread abroad the idea that we are perf eotly defenseless. ( TLTE NEWRAtLROAD FROM THILA- . DELPHI A TO NEW YORK. A laeoe mass meeting was held in Trenton last evening in favor of the railroad projeot of establishing a. new through line between rhuadelphia and sew lork, to which we re ferred in yesterday's issue. The scheme was earnestly advocated by a number of speakers, who were cheered by a large and enthusiastic audience, so that there really appears to be something in it. Its friends announce that they are compelled to combat the opposition of the established railway companies of the State, but they at the same time hope to achieve a victory. They contend that the monopoly of railway privileges which was granted years ago ceased to exist on the first of January, 18G9; and now, since it is no longer maintained by law, they demand that it shall not be perpetuated through a control ling influence over the Legislature. They claim that three-fourths of the people of New Jersey desire a Competing road' through the State from and to the oities Of New York and Philadelphia, and one of the speakers sounded the key-note of the meeting in the following declaration: - ' ; "Every Jereerman Is Interested In' declaring to the world tbat he Is no lonper under tho) graap of tbi Camden and Ambo; Railroad lorn pan j. The time had been when Jerseimen travelling) in the Went bad been asked on every hamii' Ah, jyou aire from the State of Camden and Amltoy. Yoq are from the State that taxes everybody that crosses yoar country, are you? ' 1 Let ui declare new to all the world that tney can cross onr territory as tnoy piease, and we snail len prouaer oi our native estate. - It appears by the proceedings bf the New Jersey Legislature yesterday, however, that a flank movement in the interest lof tho con solidated companies has just be m made. A bill was introduced to give them power to build a local road, with connections, to New York, over the ground of the proposed air line route, whioh, the reporter naively says, would "render further roads unnecessary. The issue of the struggle is therefore doubt ful, but for the present the consolidated com panies appear to possess superior strength in the Legislature, and it will require a very strenuous effort to seeure a charter for the proposed through line at this session. SEWARD SNUBBED. Mb. Seward, after having made'a tour of the entire continent, and feasted in innumerable banquet halls, including those of Montezuma, has met with a snub of the most deoided character in his own beloved Now York. The Common Council proposed tot give him a publio welcome and a dinner, and Mr. Seward promptly accepted in appropriate terms, There! are those, however, in New York who remember that Mr. Seward was, once a leader in the Republican party; that he was an ear nest advocate for the abolition of slavery; and that his "little bell", played a not altogether unimportant part in awing the, home traitors during the v contest for the preserva- tion of the Union. Pressun fore, brought to bear upon A. was, there- Oukey Hall, the Democratic Mayor of New York, who re fused either to veto or to sign the resolution tendering the reception to Mr. Seward, but called the attention of the Common Counoil to a certain section in the city! charter that forbids the expenditure of any inoney for any procession, entertainment, or celebration, except by a three-fourths vote.j This exhibi tion of virtue and economy on the part of the Mayor of New York, was so entirely unpre cedented that it fairly staggered the ex Secretary of State and his wpuld-be enter tainers. But Mr. Seward was equal, to the emergency, , and he, on reflection, declines the dinner, and any other demonstration that will be attended with expense, in diplomatic language tbat proves that his pen has lost none of its cunning, and he begsthat on some day whioh may be agreeable to! the Common Council he may be permitted to call at the City Hall and pay his respects to them. This affair is verv immune, but verv dittcreditahlu to the Democracy of New York, and the in sult that was intended for Mr. Seward will certainly not elevate the perpetrators in the esteem of decent people. The New York Democracy is certainly low enough already without any further attempts on the part of its leading men to make it contemptible in the eyes of the world. Week does the District Attorney intend to bring Richard Fioken to trial for the shoot ing of young Curran ? Thifi is a case that demands prompt and impartial justice, and it will be ah outrage if the wealth and sooial position of Ficken are allowed to interfere with bis proper punishment, ' The assault on the boy Curran was a mean and dastardly act, for whioh no excuse whatever oan be made, and if Ficken is not looked up in the poniten- 4 tiftry for a term of years Juce will ot re- ceive her due, and the moral sense of the community will be shocked by the belief that wealth can parotide immunity from pun ishment, no matter what tho crime may be. Young Curran is still in a very precarious condition, and last night he was worse than usual. The surgeons have not been able to extraot the ball from his leg, and it will be a hairbreadth escape if he do not lose life or limb. Under these oirotim etanoca it is a question whether Fioken should not be locked up until the fate of his vtotitn is deoided, even if he is not immediately brought to trial upon the charges now pend ing against him. MR. ELLIOTTS AUDITORS BILL. It will interest the publio to know that the excellent bill of Mr. Elliott, allowing the parties interested in an estate to agree upon an auditor, to which there could be and was no honest objection, and which passed the House by a decisive vote, and bade fair to remedy the gross evils of the existing system, has been defeatod in the Senate on motion of Senator Connell. This bill had the approval of the purest and iuohI eminent members of the bar, and was satisfactory to everyboJy except the little clique which controls the bulk of the court patronage. It is well to know where the responsibility for its defeat lies. If Senator Connell, who has done many useful and good things, is to become the champion of the corrupt system sought to be reformed, let the people know it. There has been double-dealing somewhere on this point. Why has not Senator Ilonszey been hoard from? A few weeks ago he was the zealous advocate of reform in this matter, and pro posed a bill so stringent as to be impracti cable. Now he lets a practical remedy be de feated without, as far as appears, so much as a word in its behalf. This is no bunoombe matter, and must not be allowed to sleep. The responsibility for this wrong must be fixed where it belongs. We say it is an outrage if the only parties interested in an estate, thoRe whose property is the subject of distribution, cannot be allowed to name a disinterested and capable person to pass upon matters in dispute, and tbat no one can es cape from the millstone of the bind. It is but fair to say that tho judges are not all alike in this respect, aud that until compara tively lately several of them would listen courteously and accede to a nomination by parties. This gave the publio a safety-valve to , some .extent. Now, however, the court have a rule prohibiting even the : handing up of a suggestion, unless impossible conditions are first complied , with, and unlets it efiould happen that the thirties are willing to nominate one of the nej)hctrs, or near neighbors, or par- twvlar pita of thejuaye, men thexe formalities are dinjwnsed with. Now the thing should be stepped. Mr. Elliott's bill provides for a fair, open, and honorable nomination in writing by the parties, whioh shall be tiled in the Clerk's or Prothonotary's office at least ten days be fore the appointment, and to whioh nomina tion exceptions may be filed if thought proper. This secures fair play. It is the interest of the parties to nominate u competent man. Many of the present appointees are grossly incompetent. The result of a measure of this kind would be that men of character and professional capaoity would be' choHen who would soon render the complaints of extor tionate fees a thing of the past, j We do, not feel called upon to sweepingly denounce the whole auditing system, and were it abolished other evils would result, as great perhaps as those now existing. Properly administered by good men, it has many and most valuable uses. There are many gentle men of the bar of sound legal attainments and unblemished reputation who have filled the office of auditor with honor to themselves and advantage to all parties concerned. Suoh men have deoided intricate , question of law and disputed matters of fact with suoh acknowledged ability and fairness that their decisions have oftou been acocjpted as final by the parties in interest. Oar criticisms have no reference to such gentlemen as these. They are the grains of wheat initbe bushel of chaff. We do refer to the not inoonsllerable number who cannot write their own reports, or who write them in suoh a wny that they are unintelligible and useless. Our protest is against the abuses, and theso Beem to be in separable from the existing arbitrary power of appointment. If the judges were wise they would gludly get rid of it. If the people are wiso it will be curtailed. Nothing will so surely swamp the jndioiaryjas unlimited patronage. They have far too much for their own or for the publio good Mr. Elliott's bill does not appear to have been deliberately considered in the Senate, A snap judgment was tuken against it. It will, in the opinion of those best qualified to . i . i. ' juugn, luauguraie a wuuiesoiiio roiorm. There are intelligent and able men in the Senate, some of whom are intelligent law yen--, who should see that the wishes of this community not of the ring shall be re. speoted. If the Senators from Philadelphia prove recreant, , we ask that the Senate of the Commonwealth, to which we have a right to appeal, shall protect us from a further con tinuance of the abuses to which we are sub jected. We call on such men as Senators Billingfelt, Stinson, Wallace, Lowry, and others to see that this bill is reconsidered and that justice is done. Tho following is a copy of the bill as it passed the House: "Section 1. The parties In any acoount of exeou tori, administrators, guardians, trustees, or as it.'net'H, or a majority of them, snail have the rlirht p rsuiiHlly or hy counsel to nominate in writing a pei aun aaauaitor. whlun nomination anau ne me in 1 the proper court at least ten days before the time designated for the presentation of such acoount to the court, and if no exceptions to such nomination shall be died within the said tea Uy, the porsou so ueminuwd itn&ii on appelated iy me court "beciloun. lu ail cases where an auditor la re- quehted aud no prson is nominated as auditor, or the partlt'H fail to awe upon a nomination, the auditor sliail bit appointed br the onurt. u - "Section 8.
