DEATH FOR COUNTERFEITING.
Mr. Brandegee,of Connecticut, yester
day introduced a bill in Congress to van
ish counterfeiting with death,andthe bill
was referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee. The New York Evening Post, gen
erally so sound in its opinions, advances
some singular arguments against the pro
posed legislation. Its leading idea is
that Congress has, by establishing a uni
form style of currency throughout the
country, offered a premium to counter
feiting, and is therefore so far responsi
ble for the increase of this crime, that
it would be wrong to make it a capital
offence. We do not see the force of this
argument. If Congress had the right to
'establish a National Banking system,
which we believe is not denied, it had
the right to do so in the most efficient
as well as economical way. To have
issued a different style of plates for every
National Bank throughout the country
Would not only have been attended with
enormous labor and expense, but would
_have been open to two other grave ob
jections. It would have destroyed the
national character of the circulation,and
greatly impeded the free passage of the
notes of one section of the country in
otligr. mote•sections. More than this,
it.'woulfi have actuOly increased the ff.z,,11..
ities of counterfeiting. When the coun
try was flooded with the endless variety
pf issues of private banks, counterfeit
'ing flourished with almost perfect im
punity. The people were not familiar
with the appearance of the genuine note
and were of course unable to judge of
the counterfeit. Under the present sys
tem, a suspicious note can immediately be
confronted and compared with a dozen
undoubted ones, and in most cases its
spurious character will be detected.
We think Congress has done well to
give us a uniform currency, and we do
not hesitate to express the opinion that
it will do equally well to make the pen
alty of counterfeiting death. The Post
argues that the death penalty was aban
doned in England because it
was found that counterfeiting was
not prevented by it. But does the
State's Prison prevent it? If not, we
should abolish that penalty and adopt
a lighter one, and continue this grada
tion of punishment until we shall reach
that mysterious minimum at which
counterfeiters will stand aghast and
abandon their . nefarious trade. Very
few people will be willing to follow this
argument to its inevitable reduCtio ad
absurdum. - _
• A true appreciation of the evil of 1
counterfeiting ought to convince every
one that its punishment cannot be made
too severe. It is an old principle of
English law that to steal such things as •
are necessarily exposed to depredation, is
a worse offence, and to be more heavily
punished, than the theft of such things
as may be securely locke I up or pre
served. Now there is no stronger illus
tration of this principle than in the case
of counterfeiting. The most cunning art
of the bank note engraver fails of afford
ing perfect security to any currency.
"What man hath done man-can do" is a
maxim of universal application, and
there is but one method of effectual pro
tection for our national currency. That
method is to make it cost too much to
counterfeit it. Imprisonment will not
do it, because the profit of the business
is so great that the gang of counterfeiters
can well afford to spare one of their
number, now and then, for'a temporary
seclusion from society. Imprisonment
Avill not do tit, because the chances of
'escape are good and those of pardon still .
better. There are'few communities that,
are not cursed with some one or more•
corrupt officials who will, "for a con

THE MERCHANTS Oa PPILADELPHLA
AND THEIR DUTY.
The merchants of Philadelphia are
frequently told that they are behind the
age, and the rapid progress of other
cities is cited as a proof. They are re
minded that in 1820 this was the largest
city in the United States, and her sec
ondary position now is quoted as a
grievance for which they are to blame.
There is some truth in these complaints,
for whatever apology may be made, the
fact remains that we have lost those
lines of steamships which ten or twelve
years ago ran to Savannah;Charleston,
Wilmington and Richmond. Yet there
is much that may be said on the other
side. The reputation of our mercantile
community for honesty is almost world
wide; as a rule they fulfil their obliga
to the letter; the goods they sell abroad
are equally good as she samples from
which the buyer chooses. Throughout
the South and West the name of Phila-
delphia merchant is a title to trust and
honor. And if they are slow they are
sure. The Quaker leaven, if it has given
the community too much caution, has a
compensation in its integrity and soli
dity. Our business men do not risk as
many commercial experiments as they
should do when the immense working
capital of the city is considered; but
what they do attempt they generally
execute.
The present movement to establish
steamship lines to the,ehief ports of the
Southern States is an illustration of
these statements. It began with the
house of E. A. Souder & Co., which at
the close of the war ran steamers to
Charleston and Savannah. This line
was unsuccessful because the proprietors
found that the long want of transporta
tion from Philadelphia had turned the
current of Southern trade to New York.
Perhaps the necessary transfer of these
steamers to the latter city was fortunate,
for it aroused our merchants and manu
facturers to the alarming truth that all
their interests were endangered. Then,
at a meeting of many of our most influ
ential business men, it was resolved that
lines of first class steamships should be
established, to run regularly to the
South, and that they should be sustained,
even if at a loss at first. This was wise.
For the great duty of the hour is to re
store to Philadelphia her k3ou them trade.
The permanent establishment of these
lines will ensure their success, and
this can only be done in
the way proposed, by a
general subscription; all subcribers, of
course, to be stockholders in the lines.
But far more important even than the
large dividends the investment will
ultimately pay, is the immense benefit
steam-communication with the South
will be to the entire business commu
nity. The want of it even cripples our
European commerce, for the Liverpool
line now is obliged to take part of its cargo
from New York, because Philadelphia
cannot supply the Southern commodi
ties required.
The gentlemen who have the interests
of the city at heart have the spirit and
influence to make the enterprise succes
ful. Their efforts have thus far had en
couraging results. Upwards of five hun
dred thousand dollars have been sub
scribed, and the committees are actively
at work. It is expected that eight hun
dred thousand dollars, or perhaps a mil
lion, will be collected by the end of the
month. All that is nceded is the prompt
and liberal response of this great and
wealthy business community to an
appeal, which has no selfish inspiration,
bnt is based on the sound conviction that
steamship lines to the South are in
dispensable to the prosperity of Phila
delphia. _ _
The Opera.,
Mr. Grover's opera season is drawing to a
close. The final performance will take place
to-morrow evening. Last evening Bellini's
Puritan/ was received with much delight by
a fine audience. Miss Kellogg makes a
charming "Elvira." She acts with unusual
energy, and executes the florid music of the
part with great ease, though the high notes
with which she at times varies the compo
ser's text are not agreeable. Signor Irfre's
performance as "Arturo" was faithful and
conscientious. His voice is tender and
sympathetic, but the appearance of effort is
too obvious. In the conceited pieces, espe
cially in the "A te, o cara," his voice
sounded better than in the solos. Bellini
and Antonucci filled the parts of "Ricardo"
and "bleorgio" satisfactorily, and the "suoni
la tromba" was received with the:usual 'tu
mult of applause.
This evening one of the best of the modern
Italian operas, Luorezia Borgia, is to; be
produced for a complimentary benefit to
Mr. Grover, to whose enterprsse we have
been indebted for this brilliant season.
Mine. Zucchi, Miss -Phillips, Irfre and An
tonucci take the principal parts. The, artists
of the German troupe will also give a mis
cellaneous concert. To-morrow afternoon
Martha. and the Kermesse scene from Faust
will be given by the Germans. In theeven
big the season will close with Lucia by t the
Italians. '
