THE WAR DEBT OF THE LOYAL STATES.
Mr. Blaiue from the Select Committee on
the War Debts of the loyal States, recently
made a very interesting report to Con
gress, from which we take the following
facts. . •
This table shows the amount expended
directly by the several States, and the
municipal corporations of each respective
ly, making a total of $467,954,364 ; and
this is based on imperfect returns. The
amounts raised by State taxation for war
expeuses, and the vast sums so generously
contributed throughout the loyal States by
individuals, and by associations, for the
support of the Union cause, are not inclu
ded in this amount. An accurate state
ment of all these added to the amount al
ready given, would, in all probability,
swell it to Jive hundred millions.
The States, and their respective munici
pal corporations, report the amount expen
ded by each, as follows :
Maine $12,632,580
New Hampshire 13,125,000
Vermont 8,806,759
Massachusetts 47,809,827
Rhode Island 6,500,772
Connecticut 17,386,151
New York. 111,005,953
New Jersey 26,786,421
Pennsylvania 53,527,395
Delaware 1,140,000
Maryland 8,656,458
West Virginia 2,000,000
Ohio 64,867,813
Indiana 22,334,967
Illinois 30,000,000
Michigan 12,000,000 .
Wisconsin 12,240,795
Minnesota 2,518,361
lowa 2,200,000
Missouri 9,446,575
Kentucky 2,150,537 i
Kansas 818,000
The committee then obtained from the
War Department the number of men fur
nished by each State, under the different
calls of the government, with an aggregate J
from each state reduced to a uniform stan
dard of three years' service, making a to
tal of 2,154,311 three years' men. The av
erage cost of these was about two hundred
and twenty dollars, besides the amount
paid by the general government. The com
mittee did not think, that under present
circumstances, the general government
could refund this entire outlay to the re
spective states, fearing, that by oppressing,
it might end in impairing the credit of the
whole ; but, that by immediate relief offer
ed these States to the amount ola minor
fraction of their expenditures, which can
be done without injuring the credit of the
federal government, the people can he re
lieved of high local taxation, to the man
ifest advantage of State and general gov
ernments.
Influenced by these considerations, the
committee have agreed to report, as the
basis of reimbursement, a sum equivalent
to twenty-five per cent, of the average ex
penditure throughout the loyal States—in
other words, fifty-five dollars for each man
furnished —service being reduced to the
uniform standard of three years. At this
rate the following amounts would be reim
bursed to the several States :
1 Ma.iu- for .: 56 595 men. . $ 3,112,725

It is not proposed to pay these sums to
the States immediately, but in bonds to be
redeemable at the pleasure of the United
States, after twenty years, bearing inter
: est at the rate of 5 per cent payable semi
annually. And the States, on receiving
these bonds, shall relinquish all further
claim on the general government for any
expenses incurred or losses sustained du
j ring the late war, either by the State or by
any municipal corporation within the State,
thus cutting off, for the future, au endless
amount of demands for specific appropria
j tions.
It is believed that the proposed measure
is founded on right and justice, because all
expenditures that were made to preserve
the life of the nation should, as far as prac
ticable, be borne in common by those who
i share the benefits and blessings of our gov
't eminent. It would seem flagrantly unjust
. to leave a heavy local debt ou a portion of
the States when that debt was incurred for
the common benefit of all the States. To
ask that the general government should re
j fund one quarter part of the local expendi
ture is certainly a very moderate proposi
tion, and if there be any injustice therein,
it consists in not going far enough in the
direction of relief to the loyal States.
The increase to the national debt caused
by this reimbursement is nominal rather
than real. It dees not add a single dollar
to the debt of the country. It merely
changes the form of a certain portion of
j that debt from a State and local to a na
tional and general obligation, bearing im
partially on all the States and on all the
i people of the Union.
The general government has the great
advantage of monopolizing ail the channels
of indirect taxation, leaving to the States ,
no mode of raising revenue except that
which is the hardest and most oppressive, j
And the direct local tax comes with all the
more severity on a large class of the com
munity—especially holders of real estate
—from the fact that so great a proportion
of the personal property has sought invest
ment in government bonds, which are ex
pressly ex apt from State and municipal
taxation.
The militia called out by the Proclama
tion of Governor Curtin, to repel rebel in
vasions of Pennsylvania, are, of course,
not included in the table aggregating the
number of three years' men furnished by
each State. Oar State has credit, in this
report, for 366,326 men, furnished under ail
the calls of the President; but this is at
least 50,000 below the amouut that went
from this State. Neighboring States paid
higher local bounties, than could be pro
cured here, and our people went where
they could get the most. The State of New
York alone has credit for 40,000 soldiers
she enticed over the line by promises of
high bounties.
The steamer Arizona, from Aspin
wall,brings the news of a terrible explosion
which occurred at that place on the 3d inst.
The British ship European arrived at that
port on the previous day, and commenced
unloading her cargo. Nearly all the local
freight had been delivered, when about 7
o'clock on the morning of the 3d, a terrific
explosion occurred on board, which tore
away the upper part of the ship and blew
several large plates off the side. The wharf,
some four hundred feet long, was torn to
pieces ; the superstructure was completely
demolished to within a hundred feet of the
freight-house, and hardly a plank remained
in the centre length of the structure that
was not wrenched from its fastenings.—
The loss of life was necessarily great. It
was impossible, when the Arizona left to
learn the exact number missing, but it was
estimated that it would prove to exceed fif
ty. There was no doubt that the explosion
originated in the seventy cases of nitroue
cerily shipping from England by the Eurc
pean.
CLYMER'S NOTES. —The Harrisburg Tele
graph copies from the Legislative Record
of 1864, a portion of the votes cast by Mr.
Clymer, the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, and then as now, a State Senator,
which serve to show that on all questions
involving the integrity of the Government,
the safety of the Union, aud the honor of
her brave defenders,he voted in opposition,
without a single exception. He voted
against the bill increasing the pay of the
officers and privates of the army aud navy.
He voted against the resolution offering a
vote of thanks to Gen. Grant and the offcers
and soldiers under him for a series of gal
lant services resulting in the liberation of
the Union people of East Tennessee. He
voted against allowing the soldiers from
his own state the right of suffrage ; in
short he was opposed to the war, and ou
every occasion demonstrated his opposition
by his acts and votes. The loyal people
of Pennsylvania will have no difficulty in
1 deciding whether Gen. Geary or Heister
Clymer shall be their next Governor.
THE SHAD BILL. — The bill compelling the
corporations that have dammed up the Sus
quehauna river and prevented the shad,
from coming up, to construct sluices or
other means to allow the free passage of
fish, has passed the Legislature and is
signed by the Governor. The bill is just
as it was framed in the Convention in Jan
uary. The Governor, in accordance with
the provisions of this new law, will now
appoint a commissioner who will at once
proceed to the discharge of the duties en
joined upon him —to see that the necessary
constructions are made by the first day of
October. It is therefore highly probable,
that, notwithstanding the boasting of the
monopolies flipper the river and the yelpiug
of their toadies, that wp wi}l hfivp shadi
, fresh shad, next iSpring.
PRESENTATION OF THE STATE FLAGS. — Phil,
adelphia has been selected as the place
where the tattered and torn Hags of the
Pennsylvania regiments shall be formally
returned to the keeping of the Common
wealth The Committee of the Legislature
having the matter in charge has made ar
rangements for the ceremony, which is to
take place in Independence Square on the
4th of July next. Of the 216 State Hags
carried buring the war, but four were lost
in battle. This is a proud record for the
Pennsylvania soldiers.
I&, At a recent meeting iu Bast Tennes
see, Gov. Brownlow made another speech.
He denounced the President's course and
endorsed Congress. He said Sumner, at
the request of the President, had written
his proclamation on the death of Lincoln.—
He did not say thi§ in disparagement of
Johnson's ability, but to shov he did not
then consider Sumner a traitor. He said no
man would charge Sumner as having chan
ged, but evidently Johnson had deserted
the platform he occupied as an aspirant for
the Vice Presidency. He said an over
whelming majority of the Southern people
are as traitorous to-day as ever, and it
was now their purpose to break up the Gov
ernment.
The first case under the Civil Rights
bill, arises in a free State. A colored man
in Indiana brought a suit on the 10th inst.,
to enforce a contract against a white citi
zen. The defendant set up a plea that the
negro came into the State in violation of
the 13th Article of the Constitution of In
diana, and is thereby debarred from all
right to enforce contracts. The plaintiff
demurred to this ; that the article in ques
tion was in opposition to the letter and
spirit of the Constitution ol the United
States ; that it conflicts with the constitu
tional amendment abolishing slavery ; and
that li is "gohj jjnder the first section of the
Civil Rights bill, which giye? to all per
sons born in the United States full right 10
make and enforce contracts, any law, stat
ute, ordinance, regulation or custom to the
contrary notwithstanding, '{'he Court sus
tained the plaintiff, and an appeal wag ta
ken by the defendant to the Circuit Court.
IA-The late riot at Norfolk, Va atten
ding the celebration of the passa; of the
Civil Right's bill was suppressed by the
aid of the military,under command of Major
Stanhope. In the performance of this duty
—a somewhat perilous one, owiug to the
very small number of troops at his com
mand— he was inshltcd and menauced by
the mob of white citizens, who threatened
to kill him, and one shot was fired at him.
At this junction he made a public declara
tion that "if he and his men were further
tnouaced he should be forced,iu self-defence,
to arm the blacks to assist him in carrying
out his orders."
THE FRENCH IN MEXICO. —The French
Minister had an interview with the Sec
retary of State Saturday. It is said he
presented the formal adhesion of the French
Government to the American principle of
non-intervention, as explained by the Sec
retary of State. The Emperor kindly and
cordially replies to the United States, and
engages to withdraw his troops from Mexi
co in three detachments—one of them next
November, and the others in May and No
vember, 1867. The full and final corres
pondence between the two Governments
which led to this important result will, it
is expected, be seut to the House of Repre
sentatives this week, in answer to a call
recently made on the Department of State,
on motion of Mr. MCKEE, of Kentucky.
THE OHOLERA AT NEW YORK.
The arrival at New York of the steam
ship Virginia, of the National Steam Navi
gation Company's line, on |\Vednesday af
ternoon, with cholere on board, is already
known. She arrived oil' Staten Island at
five o'clock, and was boarded at the quar
antine or upper landing of the island by the
health officer. After a careful examination
of the vessel, and of the passengers, thirty
seven ol whom had previously died, and an
other dying while the officers were on board,
the disease was pronounced marked Asiatic
cholera.
The vessel was then ordered to the lower
quarantine, near Sandy Hook ; but it had
become late, and the pilot took the respon
sibility of remaining till morning. At a i
quarter past eleven o'clock in the forenoon
slie went down the bay. Her presence
within three quarters of a mile of the Staten
Island shore created much excitement
among the inhabitants. No communication
whatever was allowed between the vessel
and the shore. Arrangements are making
to remove all the passengers from the ship
to-morrow morning. There is said to be iiy
immediate danger that the disease wil
reach the city from the vessel. 1
THE VIRGINIA AND HER PASSENGERS.
The 8 team ship Virginia is a new propel
ler of 2,876 tons burden, and is one of the
finest vessels of the line to which she be
longs. The passengers numbered about
one thousand and eighty when she sailed
from Europe ; and according to her regis
i ter it is reported her commander, Captain
! Prowse, was authorized to receive one or
j two hundred more. She was, however,
j well crowded, the steerage passengers
j (comprising all but fourteen) occupying
two tiers of decks. They are in a cleanly
condition.
A large proportion of the passengers are
Germans ; it is supposed they brought the
cholera on board, and the mortality has
been greater among then than among the
Irish and English passengers.
ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.
The Virginia sailed from Liverpool on
I the 4th instant ; no cholera is kiy>wn to ex
ist there. The German passengers had, it
is said, been at that port only a day or two
previous to their embarkation and depar
ture ; and there was no sickness that was
noticed among them. At Queenstown,
Ireland, more passengers were received,
making the whole number reported.
It did not appear that there was cholera
on board, until the 12th inst, when the ves
i sel was eight days out from Liverpool. On
that day a man who had had the diarrhoea
suddenly grew worse and died. It is said
the diarrhoea had existed without any symp
toms that were regarded as alarming, from
j the day of the departure ol the vessel.—
j \\ hen the man died the ship's surgeon
I doubted whether the disease was cholera ;
| but on the same day two other passengers
| were attacked.
Afterwards the epidemic extended ; an
] on the passage the number ot the sick wad
i over one hundred—exactly how many, hows
I ever, is not reported by the ship's officers-
They say the whole number is certaiuly.
| less than two hundred.
It js mentioned as a singular eircum-
I stance that the cholera broke out on the
1 Virginia in about the same place on the
! ocean at which the passengers of the steam
ship England, another of the National
■ Stearn Navigation Company's vessels
i (afterwards detained at Halifax) were at
tacked. This is important, as it teuds to
confirm the theory advanced by a few per
sons that certain states of the atmoapheru,
j sometimes round in belts, are peculiarly
1 adapted for the development of cholera,
i At present there are twenty-one or twen
ty-two of the stperage passengers (tho dis
| ease has not reached the cabin passengers)
I prostrated with cholera. Eleven of them
j are marked or doubtful eases, and three or
I four of these are in a state of collapse.—
j Nearly all the other passengers are report
ed convalescent, though there are indica
■ tions that more of the passengers will be
| attacked. The mortality, it will be seen,
! has not been heavy,
there is no panic- on the Virginia, and
|no fear whatever is manifested. The steer
age passengers, who are of the ordinary
| class of emigrants, are quite cheerful; they
| have good attendance, and it is not cxpec
! ted that many more of them will die.
A BAD Ai-roi NTMENT. —Mr. William F.
Johnston has been nominated to the col
leetorship of internal revenue in the twenty
third district of Pennsylvania, in place of
Mr. David N. White. This change was not
made because of incompetency or unworth
iuess in the incumbent. He has performed
his duties to the satisfaction both of thy
Government aud the people. But Mr.
Johustou wanted the place. He has wan
ted almost all sol'ts of places for several
years, aud has been "everything by starts
and nothing long," in the hope of drifting
in somewhere. At last he has succeeded.
His sole recomendatiou in this instance was
a speech made from the City Hall in Wash
ington iu support of the President's policy.
In reward for this service he has the best
appointment in a district of which he is
not a resident and among a people who
revolt at this intrusion of him among them.
This appointment may be taken as the
first of a series in this portion of the State,
entered upon for the purpose of corrupting
the people by a profligate use of Govern
nient patronage as to induce acquiescence
in a policy which is repugnaut to their
judgment. — PjUsburg Gazette.
PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Thursday, April 19, 1866.
In the Senate Thursday, Mr. MCDOVGAM.
rose to apologize for some remarks made a
few days ago in reference to hiß colleague.
He regretted having made these remarks,
and he begged the pardon of the Senate, as
he had already begged pardon of his eol

The House next considered the bill appro
priating $115,000 for deficiencies in the!
public printing, $450,000 for paper, and
$95,000 for binding. The Committee then
rose, and reported the bill to the House,
then proceeded to the consideration of the
bill to reorganize and establish the United
States the pending question being on Mr.
THAYER'S amendment to the thirteen section
relating to the Adjutant-General's Depart
ment, which after some debate, was adopt
ed.
NITRO-GLYCERINE. —This article, the ex
plosion of a quantity of which iu Wells A
Fargo's office, in San Francisco, proved so
fatal, is the invention of a Swiss chemist,
and is one of the most terrible of all ex
plosives. It has twenty times the force of
powder—quantity for quantity ; and its
dangerous quality is such that iu some of
the continental nations,so we are informed,
it is not allowed to be kept. It was the
same kind of article which exploded at a
hotel in New York city sometime ago, and
proved so very destructive.
