THE DEMOCRATS AND THE NATIONAL
BONDS.
From the S. Y. Time.
The "hardheadadness" of the Democracy
was strikingly illustrated in the platform they
adopted in the State Convention in Ohio the
other day. The party has, if not really, at
all events ostensibly, abandoned those pecu
liar views about greenbacks which were its
. beast and glory two years ago, and whiah fur
ciahed so striking an illustration of the way
it adapts itself to circumstances. Daring the
.war, for instance, no firmer opponents of
Government paper cnrrency could be found
than Messrs. Pendleton, Vallandigham it Co.
They stood, with legs far apart, upon the con
stitutional prohibition of the insue of any
legal tender but gold and silver, and raved
over the Chase shinplasters like so many
howling dervishes. One might reasonably
have expected that they never would have
accepted them; that they would never have
given up denouncing them; and that, the
war over, they would have called night and
day for their redemption as a matter of con
stitutional obligation no less than of national
honor.
Bnt the war was hardly over when all oppo
sition to the greenbacks was abandoned.
One heard no more of "hard money" and
constitutional prohibitions. The Democratic
leaders were not only satisfied with the irre
deemable paper, but while some of them
wanted more of it issued, the rest, so far
from wanting to see it redeemed, demanded
that it should be nsed in payment of all the
Government obligations, including those
which were contracted on the express under
standing that they were to be paid in gold.
In fact, their performances at this period
showed that their opposition to the legal ten
ders during the war was purely factious; that
it had no foundation whatever in principle,
and was begun and carried on solely for the
purpose of making an uproar and embarrass
ing the administration.
The plan of paying off the public debt in
paper has completely failed; and the atten
tion of the party now seems to be devoted to
the task of rinding out whether there is not
some other way in which the people, who
trusted the Government in the hour of its
difficulties, can be got at, and outmanoeuvred
and disgusted, so that the nation shall never
be able to borrow at low rates of interest.
The Ohio State platform seems to show that
the party has found something that will
answer the purpose, but it does not seem to
have had brains enough to devise anything
original, for this last contrivance is one of
General Butler's, and was produced in the
House by that eminent financier two years
ago, for Republican use but it met with no
favor. It consists in subjecting the interest
on the bonds to a special tax, over and above
the income tax, to which, in common with
all other sources of income, it is now
exposed. This new tax ought, acoording to
the Ohio Democrats, to equal in amount
'the fair average rate of taxation levied in
each State" we presume for State purposes.
An effort has been made already to accom
plish this through the State Legislatures,
which, if successful, would of course have for
ever put an end to all borrowing on the part
of the United States, as it would have left it
in the power of any State to prevent any of its
citizens deriving benefit from any loan made
to the General Government by simply taxing
away all the interest. The new plan pro
poses to have the General Government do
the work of killing its own credit by arbi
trarily reducing the interest on its own
bonds, by retaining a portion of the money
tinder the name of "a tax;" and it really ap-
Eears as if Bonie of the Democratio politicians
elieved giving it this name would deceive
people as to the nature of the operation.
Nobody, however, would be deceived by it.
To pay a man the stipulated interest on his
loan, and then have a revenue collector sta
tioned at the door to take rive or ten per
cent, of it from him as he went out, would be
simply cheating, and the simplest and most
ignorant would know it. It would be neither
more nor less than a roundabout and some
what impudent way of repudiating our lawful
obligations.
"What is most remarkable about all this,
however, is not the moral obliquity on the
part of the Democrats which it reveals, so
much as its gross stupidity. What does more
than anything else to keep the party out of
power is the total want of popular confidence
in its honesty. The majority does not be
lieve what it says, questions the sincerity of
its indignation, and doubts whether it advo
cates anything from conviction, or has any
settled principles, or has any other aim than
"to make trouble." Instead of trying to get
rid of this bad reputation, by steady adhe
rence through good and evil report to Borne
plan or other, the party hardly ever opens its
mouth without confirming it. If it had
stack firmly to its hostility to greenbacks,
it would now have the benefit of whatever
opposition has reoently shown itself in
the Republican ranks to the legal-tender
polioy. If it had stuck firmly to the
Lard money and good faith doctrine, it would
have had the benefit of the aberrations on
these subjects which were witnessed among
Republican politicians in 18C7-8; and if it
were now to take up financial reform, pure
and simple, it would make no small impres
sion on the minds of a large portion of the
public. But nothing Beems to attract it which
has net a grain or two of what Irishmen call
'divilmint" in it. It rarely takes up anything
nowadays which cannot be nsed as a missile.
Indeed, the whole party has almost dissolved
into a band of 'bummers, without order.
organization, leaders, or any fixed object
beyond the general one of frightening the
country, and picking up whatever happens to
be lying about, which Bomebody else is likely
to want.
TnE FUNDING BILL.
From the Y. Y. World.
The new bill for refunding the public debt
presented in the House on Monday, has some
novel and peculiar features which will be apt to
strike the publio mind as a financial curiosity,
whatever be thought of the merits or prac
ticability oi the scheme as a whole.
In our opinion, this ingeniously contrived
project is futile, ana can serve no other pur
pose than to amuse the imagination of the
country and confirm its low estimate of the
financial sagacity of Congress. We should
be only too glad to have it suoceed; bnt we
know no Rood reason ror supposing that our
Government can at present, or for many
years to come, borrow money at so low a rate
as four per cent. We are perpetually told.
indeed, that the English Government borrows
at three per cent., which is approximately
though not quite strictly true, as the three per
ecu. oonsola sell at nine or lejx per oent. below
par. But the British rate was also three per
cnt. before oar civil war, an nobody then
thought of using it as an argument to prove
that our Government could borrow at a rate
nearly as low. For aught we can see, it
would have been just as valid an argument
ten years ago as it is now. It certainly would
have been, unless it can be shown that the
credit of our Government has improved
during these ten years of depreciated cur
rency, financial disorder, and accumulated
debt. The lowest rate at whioh our Govern
ment was able to secure loans previous to the
war was five per cent. It never issued five per
cent, bonds, six having been the settled rate;
but its six per cent, bonds rose, in I860, to
121, and some of them were bought up at that
price by Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of the Trea-.
sury. Federal bonds were never taxedby State
or municipal authority nor by the Federal
Government itself, so that in that respect the
ante-war bonds had the same advantage as
those now proposed to be issued. Their only
point of inferiority was in having a some
what shorter period to run. In all other
points of comparison the advantage was on
the Ride of the ante-war loans. Our cur
rency was then sound, resting on a . specie
basis; all the transactions of the Government
were in gold: no great strain had been put
upon our resources; there had been no talk
of repudiation; and the public expenses wore
less than one-fourth of what they are at pre
sent. If the authors of the Funding bill can
explain to ns why the credit of the Govern
ment should be better now than it was ten or
twelve years ago, we are very willing to be
shown what we cannot discover.
The rate at whicn a Government in good
credit can borrow must bear some proportion
to the ordinary commercial rate in the same
country. In England, the usual commercial
rate is fivo per cent.; in this country it is
seven. 1 lie lapse of ton years has made no
difference in this respect in either country.
Previous to our civil war the rate on Govern
ment loans in each country was about two
per cent, less than its commercial rate, due
allowance being made for the appreciation of
the United States six per cent, bonds. It
seems absurd to expect that our Government
can borrow now at three per cent, less than
the ordinary commercial rate. The new
Funding bill therefore looks like a piece of
Quixotic Congressional buncombe.
The theory on which this bill has been
framed is very obvious on its face, namely,
that the holders of the five-twenties would
prefer exchanging them four for long per
cent, bonds rather than have them paid and
be at the trouble of reinvesting the money.
The scheme therefore proceeds upon the idea
that its success depends upon the Govern
ment beginning to pay, or at least making
the offer to pay, the matured five-twenty
bonds at par in gold, lo make this begin
ning, and thus excite the uneasiness of the
holders, it was necessary to provide, or make
a show of providing funds for this purpose
from other resources than the sale of the
new bonds. Whatever ingenuity is exhibited
in the bill is in its kite-flying provision to
scare the bondholders into a belief that the
Government will presently be ready to pay
them. The Secretary of the Treasury is au
thorized, in his discretion, to use the
surplus gold in his custody in redeeming
six per cent, bonds at par; but it
would be preposterous for him to do so while
their depreciated market value enables him to
buy them at a lower rate. The amount of
gold which the Secretary has at his disposal
is always easily ascertained, and it bears so
small a proportion to the whole debt that the
bondholders would not feel much apprehen
sion if he should announce a purpose to pay
them. A few of them would get something
better than the market price of their bonds,
and the amount of gold they would receive
would be too small to embarrass them much
in reinvesting it. The addition of the gold
interest on the sinking fund, which the bill
also permits to be applied to this purpose, is
a bagatelle too insignificant to be considered
as part of a grand funding scheme.
But the last section of the bill attempts to
help out these lame resources. It makes the
Treasury a sort of bank of deposit, to receive
and pay out gold; and on the same principle
that an ordinary bank can use a large part of
its deposits, it is proposed that the Secretary
of the Treasury may employ seventy-five ppr
cent, of the gold deposits for the payment ef
bonds, retaining the remaining twenty-five
cent, as a reserve for the redemption of the
certificates. This hopeful fetch is the novel
feature of the bill. But its ingenious framers
are a little sanguine if they expect that the
owners of gold will be eager to deposit it
with the Government on terms that would
preclude their recovery of it if a turn of the
exchanges should create a brisk demand for
its use. Gold is freely deposited with the
Government now, because it all lies safe in
the Treasury subject to call. But when the
Government uses the greater part of such
deposits to pay its own debts, the feeling of
security will have vanished, and its owners
will be likely to prefer the custody of the
banks. If this bill passes in its present
shape it will be of no more practical account
than a piece of blank paper.
A SHOCKING AFFAIR IN CHICAGO.
Form the A. Y. Herald.
We are not unaccustomed to hear tales of
horror from Chicago. They are, in the ordi
nary language used in newspaper paragraphs,
"too nuir erous to mention." Violations of
the marital relations, elopements, stories of
bigamy sometimes thrice multiplied, poison
ings in the domestio circle all these things
are made familiar to us from the columns of
the Chicago papers as the prevailing condi
tion of that Western emporium of immorality,
grain crops and vice. The latest piece of
news from there, however, which strikes every
one with horror arid disgust, is the discovery
that the students and officials of a medical
college have been accustomed to pile up on
the roof of their building, as the despatch
says, "a vast collection of human remains in
a condition of disgusting putrefaotion, in
cluding bones and flesh of grown persons and
miants. Ihe Health Department was ap
pealed to by numerous residents in the vi
cinity of the medical college, who complained
that an intolerable odor pervaded the neigh
borhood, dangerous to health, and of oourse
destructive of all comfort. When a sanitary
officer visited the premises he was assured
that the nuisance did not arise from that
quarter, but when he insisted upon making
an examination me norrioie result as above
stated was found.
Chioago medical colleges and medioal stu
dents possibly may not be worse than those
in other cities, although this faot tells hard
against them, and presents a oase of gross
outrage upon publio health without a parallel
in this country. Apart from the shocking in
decency of treating human remains in this
way, after they had been nsed for purposes
of science, in a sanitary point Of view the
disposition made of them by the students of
this Chicago college were atrooious. It is
enly another evidence, however and we say
it with regret that there is great carelessness
noticeable in this particular in many of our
medioal colleges, from which an intelligent
consideration for the publio health should be
I supposed to come. The exposure of uaoiaa
remains in publio plaoes is not an unoommon
complaint with the police. The transportation
ef the same from dissecting-rooms to distant
Eointa by railway and steamboat, packed in
oxes and barrels, is an occurrence of which
we frequently hear. This is a practioe which
should be put a stop to. The disposition of
these human debri in Chicago suggosts one
of the various but dangerous and most dis
gusting ways of getting rid of them. The
violation of law in robbing graveyards of the
dead has long been winked at, because it was
done in the interest of medical science, and
therefore in the interest of humanity. The
rule which permits the unclaimed dead in
public hospitals and in the Morgue to be de
livered to the medical colleges and schools
cannot be objected to; but the publio have a
right to demand that when the bodies are
used for the legitimate purposes designed the
remains shall be so disposed of as not to en
danger public health or shock public deoency.
If the discovery of this Chicago outrage shall
have the effect of correcting the prevailing
evil in this respect, it may be regarded as a
publio benefit.
TIIE TROPERTY RIGHTS OF CONNEC
TICUT WOMEN.
From the X. Y. Tribune.
In New York the property rights of married
women are most sedulously guarded, and so
is the sanctity of the marriage tie. In Con
necticut married women are too often treated
as if . they had no property rights which their
husbands are bound to respect, and divorces
are easy and frequent. We do not think the
arrangement a good one, and hope, right ear
nestly, that the present Connecticut Legisla
ture may be trusted to better it.
We do not ask that the laws of New York
should be slavishly copied. As we lately had
occasion to show, it might be urged by people
of a dissatisfied turn of mind that there is
some need here for a movement in behalf of
men's rights. Certainly, on the theories of
equality now so popular, it must be admitted
that the laws of New York, in some most im
portant particulars, display a favoritism to
wards the fair sex far removed from the equal
and exact justice of which we hear so much.
For ourselves, we are entirely satisfied, how
ever, with the advantages given women over
men by the laws of our State; we prefer that
they should continue to enjoy them; and we
can assure our neighbors that, thus far, they
work well.
Connecticut still maintains the old-time
property discriminations against women, and
denies them the legitimate control of what
they may be able to acquire, as well as of
what they may become nominal owners of
in other ways. While they are charged with
the responsibilities pertaining to other prop
erty, they are deprived of the corresponding
franchises. In recent years, however, there
have been frequent efforts all of which have
failed to obtain such legislation on the sub
ject as would bring the laws of Connecticut
into accord, more or less, with the liberal
laws of other States, or rather with the even
handed justice now accorded to women else
where. But at last there is a prospect that the
Legislature will take favorable action upon a
bill which will be brought under consid
eration this week, "for securing the
protection of married women in the enjoy
ment of their property." In its main prin
ciple the bill resembles the existing law of
this State, though differing from the latter
upon several points of detail. The funda
mental provision is that the real and personal
estate, and all property of any description,
belonging to married women, whether ac
quired by gift, bequest, devise, purchase, or
in any other way, shall be her sole and sepa
rate estate, notwithstanding her marriage;
and that all rents, interest, and income
accruing from it or its use, shall belong to
her in her own right, exactly as if she were
sole and unmarried; no part of this property
being liable to be taken for the hus
band s debts or liabilities. The subordinate
features of the bill are in reference (1) to
a wife's special right to lease or sell her pro
perty; and (2; to the lite-estate of husband
or wife in case of the death of either. If a
married woman possessed of real estate desire
to lease or sell it, and her husband refuse to
unite with her in its conveyance, she may
bring the matter before a county court, which
is empowered to authorize her to execute the
deed in her own name. In case of the death
of a husband or wife the survivor is entitled
to a life estate in one-third of the property of
the deceased this provision, however, not
being allowed to affect ante-nuptial agree
ments.
In regard to these points of legal detail,
and to the authority of courts in the aliena
tion and entail of property, we offer no opi
nion here. But we earnestly hope there may
be no doubt or the enactment at the present
session of the .Legislature of the leading pnn
ciple of the bill, by which married women
are entitled to the legitimate ownership and
control of their own property, and guaran
teed those rights which are necessarily asso
ciated therewith. As to the intrinsio justice
of the principle, there cannot be any doubt,
Why should the marriage of a woman deprive
her of her rights of property, or the control
of her own earnings? Why should a husband
be allowed to squander his wife's estate with
out her consent.'' Why should he have the
power to seize her income aeainst her will?
Why should she be held responsible for his
liabilities, in the accidents of his Ufa or folly?
Why should she not legally own what she
properly possesses, and why should she not
control what she owns? Let the Legislature
of Connecticut do justice to the women of
the state:
REPUDIATION AND TnE INCOME TAX,
From the V. Y. Sun.
The Republican National Convention, held
at Chicago in May, 1808, laid down in its
platform the fundamental law of that party.
Among the principles thus set forth is a
solemn denunciation of every proposition to
repudiate the obligations of the Government.
"We denounoe all forms of repudiation as a
national crime," said the convention; and as
next to this in importance the platform de
clares that "it is due to the labor of the
nation that taxation should be equalized."
By way of commentary on this platform.
the bill to reduce taxation whioh was debated
in the nouse of Representatives last week.
and finally passed on Monday, receiving the
votes of the great majority of" the Republican
members, begins with repudiation. It repu
diates the solemn pledge of Congress and of
the Republican party that the income tax
should not be continued after the year 1870;
and it proposes, in violation of that pledge,
to impose that odious, nnoonstitutional, and
unjust tax upon the country for an indefinite
period.
Having thus thrown to the winds the pledge
of the Government made when the internal
revenue system was first devised, and having
also trampled under foot that article of the
Chicago platform which denounces every
form of repudiation as a national crime, the
Republicans in Congress proceed by a sort of
nataral logio to violate that other fundamental
trinoiple of their platform whioh affirms that
axation ought to be equalized. The inoouie
tax provided for in the bill is the most
unequal that could possibly be contrived.
Indeed, it sets out with flouting equality in
taxation as unworthy of the least regard. It
exempts from taxation all inoomes up to
$ 20X) a year, and levies its imposts upon in
comes above that sum; while, if the principle
of equality, , which the Chicago platform
affirms, were to be followed, there could be
no exemption at all.
It is evident that none of tne uepuoiican
Representatives who voted for this bill can
any longer be considered members of the Re
publican party. They have set at naught
and pitched overboard two of its most im
portant principles; they have made them
selves repudiators, and they have voted against
equality in taxation.
