returns on the Ist of November, to three bun

shelve, leaves two hundred'and fifty-three millions
eight hundred and seventy-three thousand, and
eighty dollars (5253,878,080). It may be assumed,
then, that a loan of two hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars: in gold, together with the bal
ance now in the Treasury, would redeem all our
legal tenders, and restore immediately specie
currency. "The question is, how or where, and
In what manner, and at what rate this loan can

Secretary of the Treasury, even to carry on the
war wittelfelleo. But the loans then , required
were very small as compared-with the amount
now to be obtained. We did not suspend specie
payments, and the condition of the country was
very different then. , , •
The object is to resume specie payments, and
should we now borrow $250,000,000 in gold, at
borne, even if it could be obtained, the rates
would be more extravagant, and the loan'would
so exhaust the available money resources of the
country as to cause a great and immediate con
traction of the currency, to be followed by a
terrible revulsion. No, this Must be a
foreign loan, to as to bring the gold
here to create an expaneion, not
in paper, but in specie, and to ' in
fuse new life-blood into all the channels of in
dustry. It is contraction, without resumption,
that is driving the country to the verge of repu
diation, and threatening most disastrous conse
quences to the honor and interests of the nation.
No one, before this, has ever threatened to stain
the faith and honor of the nation, and but for
this system of contraction and taxation, the
spectral shade of repudiation would never have
been evoked from the dark abyss of infamy and
Mme.
Contraction is only advocated with a view
to ultimate resumption of specie payments.
But wby contract, and thus depress all our in
dustry, when we can immediately resume
without contraction ? If we are not to re
sume until the whole 'lper currency is gradually
' taken in, how many years will it take
to accomplish it? What will be the condi
tion of the country in the meantime, whilst
the contraction is constantly going on? And
what will it ho when all our legal tenders shall
have been thus exhausted, together with the Na
tional bank currency based upon them? Why
taw condition would be growing worse and
worse every day, and at the close we would be
left almost without any currency. There are
two kinds of contraction—the one by the gradual
exhaustion of our paper currency, and the other
by allomestie loan, draining from the people all
the available money of the country. -
- I, them am for a foreign loan, so as at once to
supply the vacuum, to replenish our exhausted
resources and resume specie payments, with all
its incalculable benefits to our faith,‘ our credit
and our industry. _ \
What real objection is there to a foreign loan?
Did" Washingtonand the patriots of '76 object to
it when Franklin negotiated our foreign loan in
Rolland? Did not Mr. Lincoln, concurring with
--Mr.-Lhase,_warmly advocate it,when we obtained
the necessary money ici - replenish our-exhausted—
treasury during the late rebellion.
It is certain, on resumption, that this whole
loan - would be aken by the masses of the people •
of Germany at p ar, or higher in gold for 6 per
cent. bonds. We borrowed $250,000,000 from
the Germans in 18634 to carry on the war then.
And I would open the new foreign loan at Elam
"burgh, Berlin and - Frankfort, aided by Count BlB
marelt,wbo is as g • reat a friendiof American ' s /le
is of German unity.
The European bankers have now studied our
statistics, and they understand our boundless
jesettreee. All we want is to sustain and im
prove our National credit, to, put an end to au
irredeemable and depreciated paper currency,
and scout- indignantly repudiation in all its
forms, whether direct or- evasive. • British Con
sols, bearing 3 per cent. Interest per annum, as
we have seen, bring 94 in gold, whilst our 6 per
cents. are at 70. Yet, as shown in the third
edition of my financial letters of 1863-4, the fol
lowing were the actual statistics from the census
of England and America:
Our national wealth in 1850 was $7,135,780,228
Our national wealth in 1860 was 16,159,616,1)68
England's national wealth in 1861, 31,500,000,000
United States increase from 1850 to 1860, 126
45-100 per cent.
England's increase from 1851 to 1861, 37 per
cent.
Assuming these ratios, the wealth of the United
Kingdom would increase as follows:
1861 _
$31,500,000,000
7871 43,155,000,000
1881 50,122,350,000
1891 80,968,619,500
1901...
110,966,837,715
Andthat of the United States as follows:
1860 . , $16,159 (316,01;8
1870 35,593,450,585
1901 465,663,482,116
Thus, our wealth in thirty-three years would
be more than quadruple that of England.
The European bankers, and especially the
people of Germany, fully understand these re
salts. They know, also, the reason of our hitherto
wonderful progress—our free institutions, our
immense emigration, adding nearly three thou
sand millions to our wealth Dorn 1850 to 1868,
and our magnificent . public domain, with our
homestead and preemption systems. They
know, also, our capacity fer resumption, and
look with amazement and distrust at our failure
to do so.
I am opposed to any considerable payments at
present, lu extinguishment of the principal of
our public debt. Not because I regard a public
debt as a blessing. Far otherwise. But, when
the debt is incurred, the great question is, by
what system and at what rate of payment will
the public interest be best promoted.
To decrease the principle of our public debt by
present annual payments of fifty to one hun
dred minions of dollars, is to increase to that ex
tent the burden of taxation, which is grinding
out the substance of our people, and immensely
retarding the progress of our w ealth. That it is
vastly injudicious now will not be denied, nor
will posterity thank us for it. We have seen that
at the rate of progress from 1850 to 1860, our
wealth in 1:101 - would be $165,663,-182,116. Now,
suppose that we should, at that date, by this
oppressive process, hBVC extinguished our whole
national debt of *;:jAK),l)oo.ollo.Aceortling to every
principle of politit-a ecoienny, such a process,
se oppressive to our industry, and retarding so
much theprogress of Our wealth, would have
diminished the aggregate in .Itd at least ten
per cent. It would •be much ;punter, tint even
at ten per cent. the diminution in letil would be
9si__,6 566,348,211.
a Now, deduct from this the whole debt then
-extinguished, and the difference would exhibit
a loss of National wealth in 1901 exceeding
000,000,000 as the result of such oppressive taxa
tion. Now, to pay six per cent. interest annu
ally, ar.d reduce the priecipal of such a debt as
oars more than 41500,000,000 in thirty-i wo years,
is more than Englund or any other country has
.tayer been able to accomplish in the same.
:tme. To do this would require an an-i
anal payment (exclusive of interest) of
over $16,000,000 a year. But our paY
auente ought to commence with a much
wailer SUlD,say,liegiuning with only 411100,000.000
and go on increasing at the rate of $1,006,060 a
year, making the second payment $2,000,000, the
third .$3,000,000, and the list 4 , 34,000,000, in"
1900, and besides, meeting the annual interest,
we should have paid more than 4 1 500,000,000 of
the princip al of the public debt in MO: Thus,
we woul d pay annually, in proportion to our
oonstantly increasing mea n s, for, we mum, se
stet that, according to the census, we could pay
*20,000,000 as easily, in . proportiou to our
wealth, in 1900, us we could.sl,ooo,ooo in 1860.
Accompanying the runouption of specie
pay
amouts and essential as a part of the system de
signed to restore the. prosperity of the country,
nowt be as inteaenso and immediate reduction of
immukLion. 'to accomplish this, we mien reduce
egEditures, restore_ the Won, and disiburae
,tke sums required in„peatAr..
apealtares, eteltiel,t4gminterogim
the public debt, for the year preceding the war,
wer0569,848,474, oft / Which the expenditures for
the War and Navy Departments wore $27,922;
)eavog Our other expenditures $31,925,655. ,
NOW, Sapposlog these to increase fifty per cent.,
(which should not be), it would' make Ahem,-
$48400,000. Now, if we dogble in time of peace
our War and navy expenditures, which is too
great ,an increase, this would make -them
%1556,000
000: ,This would make our whole annual
expenditures, exclusive of the public debt,
$104,000,000. To effect this reduction we must
resume spede payments, for by paying in gold
the Government saves at once• nearly thirty per
cent. of the expenditures.
Tbe second great reduction should, be in the
mbile of extinguishing the principal of the public
debt. These payments, as I have attempted to
show, should , be graduated in proportion to our
means, beginning with one 'pillion dollars per
unnum, increasing the payment by a like sum
every year and terminating in 1900 with a, pay
ment of thirty - two millione of dollars per annum.
By thus graduating the payments in proportion
to our means we should lift an immense burden
of taxation from the people.
Another item, growing out of the reveal of
taxes end excisee,amounting to nearly $8,000,000,
would be the disbanding of nearly our whole army
of tax-gatherers and the expenses incident
thereto,which I shall discuss hereafter when con
sidering the question of taxation. In this way,
and by avoiding all unnecessary expenses, we
can'reduce ourtekpenditure, exclusive of inter
est on the' public debt, to $104,000,000. I
have not before me the report of the
Secretary of the Treasury for
this year, and can therefore only
give the expenditures for the year ending the lst
of July, 1866. These, as given by the Secretary,
were $387,698,199. This is exclusive of pay
ments on account of principal and interest on
the public debt. Now these last payments
amount to $140,000,000 a year. This would
make our whole expenditures, at a maximum,
$244,000,000. This would be a reduction of
$143,693,199, and compared with the expendi
tures of the fiscal year ending the Ist July, 1866,
would enable us to reduce to that vast extent the
taxes of the people.
This revenue of $244,000,000 a year, as a maxi
mum _I would derive from three sources alone:
1. By a tariff for revenue.
2. By an excise on wines, malt and spirituousi
liquors and tobacco; abolishing all other internal
taxation.
3. By a tax on our National banks, based upon
just and fair equivalents, remembering how
essential they are to the prosperity of the
country, and that we must not drive them into
liquidation by unfair and unequal taxation, and
thus revive the wretched State bank system.
* * * * * *
To obtain these results, however, we must first
resume specie payments, restore the Union, re
establish the prosperity a the South, and abolish
the whole system of internal taxation, except as
hereinafter stated:
I. In addition to the taxes on the national
banks now imposed by law, yielding, according
to the last report, $8,000,000, would impose but
one additional tax upon them. It would-be that,
whilst permitting them all to loan money at one
uniform rate of seven per cent. per annum, as
ought to have been done originally, they should
pay over annually to the government one-half
their net profits realized during the year over
seven per cent. I think this would be fair to the
government, just to the banks and satisfactory
to the people, and would ultimately yield a very
large revenue.
As the present capital of the nationaltanks i 55425,000,000,
$425,000,000, and yields in all its operations
$8,000,000 revenue to the nation,and as our bank
-capital, as shown by the census, doubles every
ten years, this capital, at that rate of increase,
would be $850,000,000 in 1878, $1,700.000,040 - in
1888, and $34,000,000.000 in 1898. This would
double the present tax every decade, and make it
$64,000,000 in 1898. But if, under the additional
tax proposed by me,the net annual profitsshould
only by one per cent, exceed seven per cent ,that
tax would amount to $,2125,000 in ,1868, $4,250-
000 in 1878, $8,500,000 in 1888 and $17,000,000 in
1898. Thus the banks in 1898 would pay a tax
- of 481-000,000Fand-soon-more-than-liquidatethe
whole interest of our debt. The tax, _too, would
be collected without , any expense or embarrass
ment.
To accomplish all this,our national bank system
should no longer be a monopoly in the hands of
the few, but all who will comply with the laws of
Congress ought to be permitted to increase their
capital. or establish new-institutions. That this
Welild - increase the currency of the country is
not denied. But, upon a resumption'of specie
payments these banks could only be established
upon agold basis, and upon actual capital, with
the absolute security of their notes, by deposits
of United States stdeks with, the government.
Based upon such securities as these, banks, like
bankers, would only increase according to the
law of supply and demand, as they should do;
and there would be-no danger of any too great or
too rapid augmentation, for the evil would cor
rect itself by diminished business.
This, however, Bhould only be permitted on
the resumption of specie payments, with specie
reserves, in place of legal tenders, which would
all have been paid in gold. On the resumption
of specie payments, national banks would, of
course, be established in California and all the
gold-bearing States and territories, because their
paper would be equivalent to gold, and .always
redeemable upon demand. On the restoration
of the Union and the renewed prosperity of the
South, the number of banks would be largely
increased there. Whilst all business, including
bank circulation, has been permitted heretofore
to increase, as it should, with the augmenting
wealth of the country, it is a strange anomaly
that bank capital and circulation alone should
be limited to a fixed and arbitrary sum, although
there is aneicreasing demand for more circula
tion. *
I now pass from the bank question to the last
topic, viz.: internal taxation.
Almost everything is taxed now, either by a
stamp tax, an income tax, a tax on sales, or an
excise on nearly every article that is consumed
by the people; and an army of tax gatherers is
employed, at a vast expense, accompanied by
enormous frauds, to collect a small portion of
this tax. Now, I would disband nearly this
whole legion of tax collectors and assessors, and
repeal the whole system of internal taxation,
except the excise on wines, malt and spirituous
liquors and tobacco. lam confident that under
such a system at least one hundred and twenty
millions of dollars, in gold, -or its equivalent,
could be collected from these articles. By table
21 of the census of 1860, the number of gallons
of spiritudus liquors distilled during the year
ending June 1, 1860, exceeded eighty-eight mil
-ions of dollars. _ _

- -
lam opposed to any reduction of the excise
on whisky, believing
,it to be one of those arti
cles, above all others, from which we ought to
collect the largest possible revenue; and confi
dent, by the experience of England, for years,
in collecti❑ a tobacco tax, wheielt much larger
proportional rate was assessed and collected,that
the present whisky tax can be realized. Surely
we ought not to surrender this tax to fraud and
villainy without still further efforts for its collec
tion. It• all these results arc realized the revenue
would amount to 95340,000,000 a year In gold,
which leaves a margin of nearly one hundred
millions per annum above what would be re
quired to carry on the government, and pay the
interest and a small proportion of the principal
of our public debt.
Should the system yield a large surplus, as I
believe it -would, I would still further reduce
taxation in the following manner:
Ist. By admitting duty free coffee, tea and
sugar, which have become great necessaries of
lite in this country.
id. If there are still considerable surplus
revenue, I would take the duty from other neces
saries of life not procuccd at home. •
3d. If a surplus still remained I would devote
it to such great works of national internal im
provement as the ship canals to the west., which,
in augmented wealth., would fourfold repay the
expenditures.

THE COURTS.
Grand Jury Presentment.
In the Court of Quarter Sessions, on Saturday,
the Grand Jury made the following presentment:
The Grand Inqutst of the Commonwealth of'
Pennsylvania, inquiring for the city of Philadel
phia for November sessions, 1867, most , respect
fully present that they have discharged all butsi-;
pees brought before them, "without fear, favor,'
or affection;" they have acted on 466 bills, of
which 243 have been returned as true bills, and,
223 have been ignored.
The Grand Jury visited the County Prison, and
examined with care the various buildings, and
inquired into the treatment and conduct of the
' prisoners. It is due to the administration of the
prison to say that the. buildings generally, the
corridors and cells, are kept admirably clean,and
in this respect answer all the requirements of the
law, and of humanity. The prisoners seem to be
well treated, and many of them have the benefit
of moral instruction, and all have the opportu
nity for it, and a small, well-selected library,
which might, with-benefit to the prisoners, be
enlarged.
The Grand Jury cannot forbear, however, tore
fer
to one circumstance that at once strikes a vial
tor—thatia, the crowded state of the Institution;
the male convict block In particular, where there
are more than two persons to each cell. The act
. of AsSembly requires that there shall be separate
confinement of the convicts. The remedy, and
the only remedy for this evil, is the erection of
one or t*o more blocks, by which the number of
cells shall equal the number of prisoners. For it
is as necessary, It is as much right, that the un
tried shall be kept from the moral contagion of
evil associates as the convicts shall be thus sepa
rated. The female department is now receiving
an' addition of forty cells, which, when com
pleted, will afford ample accommodation for
those who are or may be committed to that part
of the prison.
The case of Edward J. Ford, a colored man,
convicted of murder nearly seventeen years ago,
but who has been left, without the fulfilment of
sentence of the court, seems to be worthy of the
favorable attention of the Governor of the Com
monwealth. Ford is highly praised by the
superintendent of the prison for most exemplary
behavior during the long period of his incarce
ration. Mr. Perkins says a better prisoner never
'came under his observation. Ford was con-
Nicted of murder, but, in the opinion of Governor
Johnston and others, the facts did not warrant
such a finding. From time to time appeal has
been made to succeeding Governors for a remis
sion of the sentence; but the courage to do this
;act of clemency scorns to Shave been wanting,
and the unhappy man still languishes in prison.
Now, the Grand. Jury, In the interest of a com
mon humanity, ask our heroic, wise and mag
nanimous Chief Magistrate,Gen.ci
,eary, to par-
The case of Newton Campion, who was con
, victed of murder and sentenced to death, is also
worthy of notice. ; ,He is declared to be insane,
and if' so, a prison presents no proper accom
modations for him, and the necessity for enlarged
means for accommodating the criminal insane of
our State Is strongly suggested.
The Grand Jury visited - the almshoinai, and the
occasion was full of interest and instruction; In
the absenee,Ofle stewr, they were condueted,
through the de artuien by the e ffi cient sepee,
Intendent.They found the building

Reading matter .1a • wanted for the inmates.
The Press, Ledger, North American, Inquirer,
Age Morning Pagl, Bally News Bulletin , Tele
gra_A and . Stars are.recilive.d through th,: libe
rallty of the publishers, but there is a sibling
desire to read the magazines and the weeklies.
The Grand Jury feel that it is only necessary to
state this want to the prosperous and generous
publishers of the city to have it supplied forth
with. Old books, magazines, and papers will
be thankfully received. The necessity for an
intermediate. inistilapp„ between .the County
Prison and the Al ifl been so often and
so emphatically stated, that it need only he re
ferred to here.. In sooth there Is pressing'
urgency for such a house for the unfortunate.
The unexampied_growth of our city has over
crowdeddll out old public institutions, and created
a demand for others which ought not to be
neglected..
The Grand Jury visited the State Penitentiary
for, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. TleY
were courteously received by the warden, Mr.
John` 8. Holloway, who threw the - whole
building open to their inspection. They
found the establishment in thorough order,
scrupulously clean, and carefully ventilated.'
The prisoners wore a healthy, hopeful, and even
cheerful look, and seemed as contented as pos
sible under the circumstances. Doubtless con—
stant employment has much to do with this, and
no better argument could be adduced in support
of what is known as the Individual system of
prison discipline. It is plain that the inspectors
are well qualified for their offlee, .and attend
faithfully to their duties. Books and magazines
could be put togood use here, and the charitable
are urged to make contributions.
A visit to that noble charity, the House of
Refuge, afforded the Grand Jury an interesting
and satisfactory study. The ham of industry
greeted them in the shops, and in the school
rooms they found evidences of careful teaching
and discipline. The children seemed happy, sad
all looked healthy. The buildings and grounds
are admirably contrived, and are kept in perfect
order. The Grand Jury noticed with pleasure
the kindly feeling Of the children- - for Mr. Mc-
Keever and Mrs. Plowman and their assistants.
By request the Grand Jury visited the North
ern Horne for Friendless Children, and the Home
for Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans. These insti
tutions appeal strongly to the benevolent; they
' appear to be wisely managed, and are accom
plishing a greak deal of good. Children who
would otherwise occupy the streets as vagrants,
homeless, friendless, ragged ,• cold and hungry,
exposed to vice and degradation, are gathered
within the walls, to be reared to a hopeful and
useful maturity. A more engaging and benefi
cent charity never addressed Itself to the hearts
of our people. •
The attention of the Grand Jury was requested
to the ilium and noisome condition of some of
the station-houses in the city, but want of time
prevented personal examination.
.The Grand Jury tender their earnest thanks to
the officers In attendance for their politeness,
zeal and efficiency in facilitating their onerous
labors during the month.
Trios. FIT/A:MALI), Foreman.
Judge Peirce said he was glad to receive the
presentment of the Grand Jury, who were in
reality the eye and the car of the community.
They had adverted to a subject of some inter
est to him : , and, while he knew nothing of the
station-houses personally, yet from information
received he thought their condition at least re
quired investigation. It was a grand idea that
all our public institutions should be thrown open
for the inspection of the Grand Inquest, and he
thanked them not only for the attention they
had given them, but all of the business brought
to their notice. They were discharged with the
thanks of the Court.
The Great Railroad Injunction Case.
(.4ff-dal Devretch to the Poet)
TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 1.,---The controversy be
tween the Camden and Amboy Railroad Com
pany and the Ranter' and- Delaware Bay Rail
road Company has been finally decided by the
Court of Errors and Appeals. Chancellor Green
-had -dec reed—that—the -defendants-must -be en
Joined from carrying on a through business be
tween New York and Pniladelphla until the let
day of January. 7869. The Court of Errors
and Appeals,_ on a. revision of
the whole case, have decided that the
defendants bad no right whatever to divert tke
route of their railroad so -as to reach Philadel
phia instead of Cape May the. destination pre
scribed by their charter, and that the Camden
and Atlantic Railroad Company had no right to
aid them in so doing by prostituting its fran
chises, which were granted to it for an entirely
different purpose. The Court further held that
as Ostia invasion of the franchises of the Camden
and Amboy Railroad Company was entirely un
authorized and unlawful, the complainants
were perhaps entitled to have the un
lawful structure taken up, but if the
defendants should desist trom further
attempts to interfere with the business of the
complainants, it might not be necessary to en
force so severe a remedy if justice could be done
without it. A milder course should be pursued
in view of the Improvements which have sprung
up on the line of these roads. The court, how
ever, held that the Camden and Amboy Railroad
Company are entitled to a perpetual injunction
against the defendants interfering with their
business, irrespective of the monopoly con
tract; and that if the defendants here
after, either before 1869, or afterwards,
should attempt to continue such in
terference, the Court of Chancery ought to
cause the road to be abated and be taken up
from the point where the Raritan and Delaware
Bay road first deviates towards Philadelphia, to
.7ackson, the point where it connects with the
Camden and Atlantic Railroad, or so much of
it as would effectually sever, the connection be
tween the two roads. It will be seen, therefore,
that the decree of the Chancellor is materially
modified in favor of the Camden and Amboy
Company. Both parties, it will be remembered,
p eappealed from the Chancellor's decree.
Explosion in New Orleans-.-A Steam.
boat Blown Ep.
(From the New Orleans Republican, N0v.:17.1
About one o'clock Tuesday afternoon, as the
Ouachita packet Idaho, lying at the foot of Cus
tomhouse street, was firing up preparatory to
starting out on her up-river trip, on account, it
is alleged, of overheating her boiler, it exploded
with a deafening report, which was heard all
over the city. The boiler was thrown high in
the air, and fell upon the deck. The passenger
and hurricane decks were riven to splinters, and
the whole portion of the boat forward of the
cabin door was left in ruins clear •' e hull.
The smokestacks were bent and tv.
ribbons; one was left suspended over Q
board bow, and the other over the iron /. is; ..6
boat. A painter named Charles Wilson, who
was at work on the upper deck at the time, was
thrown several feet in the air, and was badly
scalded and bruised.
Mr. Stapleton, the captain of the boat, was.
also badly scalded, so that his life is considered
in danger. Both of these men were taken to
their homes in Algiers. Six men were reported
injured by the scalding water. Two of them
were blown into the water and picked up by a
boat. Two of the injured amen were white and
four were colored men. All of those not taken
to their homes were carried immediately to the
Charity hospital. One colored man was crushed
to death beneath the debris of the exploition.
Other steamers were lying alongside of the
Idaho at the time of the explosion, but were un
injured.
Captains Whitmore and Flanders, steamboat
inspectors, are investigating the cause of the
disaster, and their report will be made known to.
