JOADAItIE LA DUCHESSE.
JtT MRS I*.. M. HOOFER.
Through the merry streets of Paris I.bchold. the ;
tumbril roll; '
While 1 follow it exulting, loud I chant tho Car
magnole. 'V;
Ton are standing there, pix>nd woman, though
your gaze sinks hot beneath,
Where I follow, follow singing, as you journey to
your death.
On your cheek there are no patches, there’s no
powder on yonr carls,
Foryour white neck waits a necklace colder far
than chain of pearls;
Bat yonr calm faco Keeps Its beauty, and yonr
form its haughty mien;
You will look, methinks, less stately when you
see the guillotine.
You were once a noble duchess, and your humble
lackey I
Now I think it will amuse mo just to see how you
will die:
Once I stood behind your carriage as it rolled In
state along—
Now again your coach I follow, but I come with
dance' and song.
And I loved you, loved you, madame—you the
haughty i nd the fair:
1 have knelt to kiss the traces of your fool upon
the stair:
I have stood beneath yonr casement in the watches
of the night,
Fraying just to see your Bhadow pass between
me and the light.
Once I caught a knot of ribbon that fell loosened
from your hair;
To the madness of my loving ’twas a treasure
past compare;
For the powder from your tresses marred its
X' ndor and its hue,
ed It oft and wildly, for its perfume
spoke of you.
But one day I brought a letter from somo hero of
the State—
You were jesting with a princess, but you bade
me come and wait:
3n your bath you sat reclining, and my dull gazo
could behold
Swan-like throat and snowy shoulder, and your
arms of perfect mould.
And the princess bent toward you, saying, softly,
“Friend, beware!
You forget, while you are reading, that yon man
still lingers there.”
Never once yon looked toward mo: you disdained
my face to scan,
While yonr words came slow and scornful, “Do
. you call that thin;/ a hum ? "
I was once a man tolpve yon—l am now n fiend
to hate:
Mine the eyes that watched yonr hiding—mine
the words lhat sealed your fate :
And you know that your betrayer was your
liv'rled slave of yore :
I tjave won yonr hate and horror—you’ll despise
me nevermore.
Lips that once disdained the breezes that were
giv’n lor common breath ! ,
Will yon lose yonr ecoroful smiling 'neath the
frozen kiss of Death ? i.
From the led heights of the scaffold, as my face
and form you scan,
Think you then, iladame la Duchesse, you may
call this Thing a Man ?
Lippincott's for A ugust.
[From the Pali Mali Gazette of July 4th J
National Types*
It is natural that every nation should look
upon’its own type of character as on the
whole the best, or else of course the prevail
ing type would change into some other,
either original or borrowed. Still it, would
be. a very good thing if nations, or the most
influential sections and leaders of opinion
among them, would recognize that no one
type unites in itself all possible good qualities
of character, and that every nation would be
all the better if it could assimilate sometbiug
of what is best out of the example of other
nations. A Frenchman can see how true this
is ot other countries, and how wise an Eng
lishman would be to borro (V the gayety and
social energy of our neighbors. We in turn
can see how much better off Frenchmen
would be if they could imitate our love of
stability; our inclination to rest and be
thankful in our politics, our devotion to
solid material interests, and the like.
AH other nations unite to despise a
Spaniard, yet it is not bo certain that the
Spaniard has not at least as much to give to
other European peoples in the way of ex
ample as he has to learn from them. Aud
probably he has still more to teach'our-kths
folk in America. The Spaniard and the acute
New Yorker or Philadelphian are at the
poles ol human character. Each represents
an extreme of a virtue. In the philosophy
of the copy-book, industry and contentment
are always linked together as inseparable.
The Spaniard shows that one may be abso
lutely indolent and yet profoundly contented;
while the Yankee, on the other hand, shows
with * qual perfection how one may be in
defatigable in work and enterprise and still
live in an atmosphere where no true content
ment abides for a day. Yet the Englishman
or the American looks upon the Spaniard
as the most despicable and heaven
forsaken of all created thingß, while
the Spaniard, so far as he deigns to
turn a thought to parvenu nations like our
selves, holds Americans' and English to be
but very sorry fools after all. Let it uot be
denied that our scorner has something to say
on his own behalf. Forwbatisthe ideal of
the Spanish peasant 'f Plenty of sunshine,
cigarettes, and olives. Tbis seems poor
enough, until we ask what is the ideal of the
typical Yankee, and learn for ans wer that it
lies in having the biggest dry goods shire in
Broadway. To persons who are used to
measure the comparative worth of different
conceptions of happine. a, there may not seem
KVbe very much to choose between the two,if
one looks at things with an impartial aud de
nationalized eye. To find out which is the
more worthy of human pursuit, we have to
ask in the first place what idea lies at the
root of either conception. Examined iu this
way, we are not at all sure that the lazy
Spaniard has not somewhat the best of it. Fur
what is the root of the glory of the gigantic
store '< We fear that it cannot be found else
where than in vanity. The charm and honor
consist in having your name much upon the. ligation of the individual to the whole corn
lips of other men. That is, you place your munity. Let us own rather more freely than
happiness emphatically in external things; on we are accustomed to do that to be able to
tha fleeting breath of their fame; not-in actions enjoy rational ease is a better point in an in
themselves or for their own Bike, but in the dustrious man's character than to
eflect which they may produce iu setting have made himself a millionaire. The worst
many tongues a-wagging. Now, all wise oi it~is that pur ease is so apt to become as
men are agreed that in so far, if other things laborious as our industry. The Spaniard
are equal, that character is higher which is smoking bis cigarette >of indifferent tobacco
less dependent upon external rewards and in the sunshine doeß enjoy himself. Tne
stimulants. The finest sort of man is he who man of commercial type is never sure that he
follows a jußt and virtuous course simply be- is,enjoying his ease until he has -found out
cause it ib just and virtuous, and harmonizes that it has cost him so much more than the
with the spirit which his own nature’has pleasure of his acquaintance. The competi
corne to regard as highest and best and tion which reigns in his serious pursuits
most desirable, quite apart from what curses him in his so-called gaeties. If .he

the vulgarest part of it, may think or say. If most intimate friend in makiug a yacht
this were the only consideration proper to stupidly gorgeous or filling his house with
the point, there would be an end of our com- supeib vulgarities, then his soul is mode
„ paxlßon. For the Spaniard is only dependent rately at ease. In other words,
on outside things to the extent of a cigarette, ever so much of his enjoyment of Jus
.which can be made much more of a certainty treasures resides less in the absolute delight
than fame, and which ought, to the philoao- or comfort which they bring him for them

neEß ifl a priceless good, and no good man diiion of pleasure with him is that he is tak-
WOOld profess himself indifferent to it, icg it in the most costly form possible. Now
though it is slbo quite certain that it coaid surely a man who-can get as hearty eujoy
never be the prime object of any good mads merit out of a cigarette in the suuehiue as
ambition. Hut Is it the case that the reputa- your rich Briton out of a shilling Havana to
tjOB . which the ftspiriDg merchant of these be smoked in a room that must have cost
days seeks after is a lamo for moral greatness?
Qoite the contrary, .Unless Smartness* be, a ; .
! prime point in (morality. . Persona, who hap*;
•pen to:know’wha*. haorality';ine4riB will coo--
cede that the smartness of the whether
in New York or ’London, ..Philadelphia or;
Manchester, is just about as' unmistakable a
vice as the indolence of the Spanish peasant.
Oor readers remember . the astounding pic
ture of moral and civilized life fbrnished by
the ever memorable war between Vanderbilt
and Drew, which took place in America last
spriDg. They certaihly remember the reve
lations which have been made within the last
two or three years in English law courts of
the practices current among pur own mer
cantile classes in this country. But America
is the country in which the true commercial
ideal is seen at its best, because there they are
unfettered by better non-commercial tradi
tions such as still obtain among older nations.
And if anybody wants to know what sort of
men go to the top of the tree in trade, and
what sort of means they employ to get there,
and wbat sort of opinion an envying com
mercial community holds of them and their
career, we may refer persons witty, this curi
osity to a volume by Mr. Parton upon Recent
American Worthies, and containing among
others the hißtory of Mr. John Jacoß Astor
and Mr. Vanderbilt (the foe of the doughty
Drew), two of the richest men that ever
lived, and each of them rose from nothing.
Nobody who lives free of the delirium of dol
lars will, wo fancy, hesitate to say that tno
humble career of the Oriental devotee who
scorns delights and lives laborious
days in the Simple contemplation of
his own umbilicus, is every bit as worthy of
& rational and moral bsing, with a duty, to
the best parts of his own nature as well as to
other people. Riches, to use a platitude which
has the luck to be true, are only valuable be
cause they give you a power ofdoing things
which it is good should bo done. But where
the ideal of life is mere head-long money
making, men are too apt to become willing
to get rich by processes which extinguish the
deaite of doing particularly good things.
Thatßthis is not necessarily so, there are,
happtjyi many cases to prove most
abundantly. If money-hunting makes such
men as Astor into niggards, it does not
prevent the. growth of men of fine
public spirit like Mr. Peabody, or Mr.
Whitworth, or Mr. Cornell, who has
founded and munificently endowed a univer
sity,' or the. Boston merchant who discharged
all the ample cost of M. Agassiz’s scientific
expedition a year or two ago to Brazil. When
you have industry and its fruits thus tempered
and made useful to the earth by generous and
beneficent spirit, then you see the undoubted
superiority in worth aDd nobleness of the
Anglo-Saxon over the Spanish ideal. Yet
remember that even granting the existence of
many high-minded men among merchant
princes, there is something to be said still
further on the other side of the Anglo-Saxon
and commercial account. Compare, it is
often said in a triumphant manner, a hamlet
full of beggarly Spaniards with a great in
dustrial centre, and the-triumph of the
comparison is worth something; but it
is not unmodified. A slave goes in the
car with the conqueror. An industrious' and
well-paid English artisan in constant work
and plying a healthy trade is a much finer
creature than a lazy Spaniard basking in the
sunshine. But that is not the whole case.
Take in other considerations—bad wageß,
scarce and intermittent work, trades which
kill you off at forty and curse you with ill
health meantime. Mark the terrific residuum
of destitution and wretchedness wnich our
industrial system seems inevitably to offer
you in the same cup with your national pros
perity. If our type takeß ub higher, yet it
also drags us lower. If a man fails in our
system and gets trampled under foot in the
struggle, he is the most wretched and worth
less losel in the universe. If a man of
the Spanish sort fails, why, after all, he is not
so very unlike the man who succeeds. The
Spaniard is often laughed at for his tre
mendous dignity, and his beggars are
said to be even as grandees. But this is the
very quality which keepß him morally alive.
Personal dignity iB the salt of character; the
knack of thinking yourself worthy of respect
ful address from others and respectful treat
ment at your own hands too. If a man
thinks well of himself, there will always be a
good many things which he will not do to
save his body from the burning. Our Anglo-
Saxon, if he prove a failure, if he sink into
the hideous quagmire of destitution, has
nothing left, no original and immovable stock
of self-respect to keep him morally clean and .
sweet, and there seems to be ne earthly thing
whicjthe will not do. A Spanish beggar is
something of a gentleman; an English beg
gar, of the professional and hereditary beg
gar caste, is about the vilest thing that grows.
If our best is better than theirs, our worst is
also quite as much worse.
Nobody will seriously contend that a beg
garly epicureanism is a higher ideal than a
zealous desire to make the best of oneself
and one’s opportunities, with a view to in
creasing of others. Only let it
be said that there ih an epicureanism which
is not beggarly, but the contented enjoyment
of a pause in the struggle, for which the Eng
lish or American type of activity is making
U 8 more and more unfitted. The perfect man
would bean Englishman five days a week
and a Spaniard the two other days; or per
haps, better still, he would compose his ideal
of a happy life five-sixths out of our active
type and the other sixth on Spanish models.
The result of such a cross would give us some
ol that personal dignity and lofty self-esteem
■which is the best guarantee for consistently
high-minded conduct, and which is not
too prevalent an element in the average
English character; and it would rescue us
from that slavery, that laborious incessant
bondage, into which we tire all every day
more deliberately selling ourselves. Out
commercial type can only remain respecta
ble on two conditions—first, that we leaven it
w ilh a foreign capacity for repose and pas
sivity on due occasion; and second, that, we
leaven it with & more ready sense of the ob-

Tho following may bo new to : many of tho
present 'generation of readers, though it has
been reprinted occasionally. It appeared
in the Historical Magazine, a Philadelphia publi
cation, many years ago. The author is unknown.
Its peculiarity consists in the different ways in
which it may bo read. First—Let the whole be
rend in the order in which it is written, as any
other composition. Second—Read the lines
downward on the loft of each comma in every
line. Third—ln the same manner read the lines,
downward on the right of each comma. By tho
first reading you will observe that tho Revolu
tionary cause is deprecated, while It is laud -.d by
the others. On a careful examination, several
other modes of reading may also bo discovered:
“Hark! hark! tho trumpet sounds, the din of

A l BEIVtII AIIIIOU AX ROJXE,
When you issue from the new splendor of,
the Luxemburg Garden, and pass thence
through a deserted and badly paved street
whose enameled plate bears the. inscription’
‘Rue du Montparnasse.” stand still for a mo
ment in front-of a small square house which
smiles in -the sunshine in its neat coat of
white paint. It is the house of a sage.
A study, used also as a bedroom; a very
simple dining-room,two or three other rooms
—that is all. But wait, I forgot a small gar
den into which iately a great many stones
have been thrown. As lor the inmates of the
house, they are a man of sixty, an old cook.
Darned Mary, a venerable housekeeper; a ser
vant girl who sews on shirt buttons, mends
stockings, dusts the furuiturq, and helps ia
the kitchen; two cats, one called La Vieiile,
and the other La Jeune; and,finally, pigeons,
but very fine hooded pigeons with coral feet,
and throats cravatted With rubies, amethysts
and emeTalds. They are the most splendid
feature of the house.
“My dear,” said a friend one day to the
owner of the bouse, “you have there sena
torial pigeons.”
“No; artist’s pigeons,” he replied, with a
smile. And, in fact, the owner of the
pigeons is always an artist and thinker, a
philosopher and poet, and only occasionally
a senator.
You know whom I mean; it is Sainte-
Beuve. Well, we have now placed the
ladder against the wall; let us ascead it,
jump into the garden, and enter the house.
The amiable and eminent cduseur de
Inndi (so called from his famous causeries
de Inndi in the Constitutionnel) is just at
his desk, in the midst ot all sorts of papers,
and the senator is just about to finish a care
fully-prepared Bpeech.
His study is a very humble one; a bed—l
told you already that he uses it also as a bed
chamber —an ingeniously-constructed easy
chair, presented to him recently by a highness,
who is also a lady of heart and understand
ing, a plaster bust of the Princess Mathilde,
and a pastel painted by the princess—an ex
quisite work, believed to be the ‘ portrait of
Madame Lenoir, the wife of the former
police lietenuant.
M. Sainte-Beuve works every day from
eight in the morning till four in the afternoon,
and interrupts his labors only by taking a
light lunch.
He ia very fond of butter, and has always
some within reach, in a shell-shaped butter
vessel, into which he puts a few pieces of ice
as soon as warm weather sets in. He himself
cuts his sandwiches and spreads the butter
on themj he eats butter with everything,evem
w ith fruit.
At four o'clock, provided be is not in the
Bens*O', he regularly takes a walk previous to
his dinner.
1 uicmioned Mary, the cook of the house.
She understands the culinary art to perfec
tion, and is unsurpassed in her specialty, kid
neys done in ragout. Merinee, the prince of
gourmets, tasted them, and swore that Mary
was an artist.
Yeron was down on Mary’s master for
several years. Do you know the reason
why? Because Sainte-Beuve had dared to
compare Mary with his peerless Sophie. The
Doctor, who, previous to this incident, had
been on very intimate terms with Sainte-
Beuve, retired jealously into his tent. I be
lieve he forgave him only on his death-bed.
“How r abominable, Bir, how abominable,”
exclaimed Miry, the other day, on reading
the newspaper article on Salnte-Beuve’s roast
beef dinner on Good Friday; and she added :
“And they have not said anything about
my cream-sauce and my crawfish.”
The author of the “Hißtory of Poetry in
the Sixteenth Century,” of “Volupte,” and so
many other masterpieces of style, elegance
and depth, receives from time to time at his
table a fe w friends, Prince Napoleon, Taine,
About, Merimee, Charles Robin, and then
the wit of this ; pleiad is equal -to Mary’s
sauces. ' r : - -
• Here is-a peculiar feature of these dinners.
At dessert, the host always causes a tray,
w ith small glasses to be placed before him.
Two bottles are also there; one of them con
tains rum, and the other Curacoa. With the
utmost care he fills each glass half with rum,'
and half with Curacoa, and courteously hands'
to every guest this very agreeable and invigo
rating mixture. At the college we called this
beverage a “rocambole.” Aud I remember
even that we had red rocamboles—cognac and
Curacoa; and white rocamboles—kirschwas
spr and anisette.
* But M.Sainte-Beuve,or rather M.de Sainte-
Beuve, receives also a large number of other
friends; they are all the poor of that quarter of
the city, who find at this humble house cloth
ing, bread, &o„- < ' . _
“During hia last illness Sainte-Beuve,a prey
to acute suffering,called hia housekeeper to his
bedside, and said to her: y
“Tbke five hundred francs from the bureau
aDd distribute them immediately. Go, and
make haste!” .
M. de Sainte- Beuve is on excellent terras
with his curate —the Curate of Notrb Dame
des Champs—whom he calla a human saint.
He is also on terms of friendship and esteem
With the curate of Saint Sulpice. Ido
not: believe that he is acquainted with M.
~Veuiilot.

dition. This disquiets him—particularly on

when he was still confined to his bed, to

Ah t wliat an amiable man he is, and what
a man!
It is, perhaps, not generally known that
'Sainte-Beuve originally intended to become
a physician, and that he passed through three
medical examinations.
"When he exchanged tho scalpel for tho pen

his masterly pen ?) his excellent mother was

“Bonds of the United States, In such, formas the

Tbe amendment, in this form, was agreed to.

coin, et the rate of 3 05-100 per cent- peranoum.”
Mr. Ross moved to amend by redaclng the
rate to 3 per cent, and spoke of the-pereisteut efforts
jo swindle the people by making the bonan payable

ernment.

it was rejected.
Mr. lit niiAiU) of West Virginia, moved to amend
the ponlon proposed to be Birack out, b/ providing
also for fifty-year bonds, at 6 35 lyo, tnua making fopr
<?!?>*** uf bonds lie argued that to reduce all the
bt nds lo a uniform rate of 3 65 100 would be to render
nugatory and void the whole funding bill, becauee. as
il claimed no c’mpu HOry provision, holders of tue
prdt-ent cix per cent bonds would not change them
for boLOs paying less Interest.
Mr. hcßKscH expressed his preference for only one
rlass of bonds, but fag h'*ped that ii the Senate clcesi
firatlona were not struck out, of fur.
iiubhaid would be aoopttd.
Mr Hubbard's amendment to the portion proposed
to be struck oat was agreed to.
Mr. Pik£ moved to amend tbe amendment proposed
by the CotbmUfee of Ways and Means, by making the
interest toor per cent, instead ot 365-iflO. .
Mr. Gbiswolu edvocated the amendment offered
uy Mr. Pike. The true way, he argued, of funding
The national debt was to give such an expression
through the national council aa lo assure the world
»bat tue country means to pay it# debt* in good faith.
Tlh that was done, mere pissage of a landing
bill w ould not accomplish the object, and the discus
sion was a mere waste of time.
Mr. Bi tleu. of Massachusetts, said he wanted hot
»mt kind of funded debt. There were nineteen forms
ot public securities, and nobody could tell which
form was worth more and which less He advocated
ho extension of the time to fifty years, the adoption
<t the thirty six-ohe-hundredth rate of interest, and
■he absolute withdrawal ot taxation of such bunds in
at-v form. ' • - •
Mr. Paine advocated also tbe striking out of every
thing which authorizes tbe taxation of the income pn
bonds and the fixiDg of interest, at three andjeixty
five one hundredths. ' * * • .*•; v .
Mr. Stbveks, of Pennsylvania, declared himself In
(aver of B'fundii g bill which Bborld reduce tbe inter
est. if no person chore to fund under It, no harm
wee done; if ary person did choose to fund at a lower
rate of tnterei-L then the government would proiit by
IL Be thought, however, that the lowest rate of
interest should be four percent*, fle did not think
ihey could get money cheaper. Bethought it the duty
of tbe government, with the accumulated gold, to ex
pand one-half In redeeming the 5-20 a in advanceof
tbeir lallicg due. After they fell due no one could
object to their redemption. He.had understood the
uentieman from Illinois (Mr. Ilossj to say that bonds
fhonid oe paid according to tke ffew York platform.
Wbat was thi>t platlonn ?
Mr. Rosa—To pay the 5-208 in lawful money.
Mr. BTkvxNß--wnat'do you call lawful money? &
Mr. Ross--Greenbacks That is your doctrine and
mine, you know (Laughter.]
Mr. STBVEjis--! hold to the Chicago platform, and
as 1 understand it on that point, to the New York
platfoim; that these bonds shall be paid jus.t accord
ing to the original contract.
A member -The law.
Mr. BtevbKB According to the law.
Mr Pike—The spiritand letter o( the contract.
Mr. Stevess—What was that law: That Interest
should be paid up ut a certain time at 6 per cent. In
coin, and that alter the bonds fell due they would be
payable In inoney. In money, just as the gentjeman
from Illinois (Mr. Ross) understood It; just as he (Mr.
Stevens) understood it; just as all understood It when
the law was enacted; just as it waß explained on the
floor; also, oittimeß by the Chairman Of the Commit
tee of Ways and Means.
If be k. ew that any party In the country would go
for paying In coin that a hlcb waa payable in money,
thus enhancing tho defat one-half: If be knew there
was such a platform and such a determination on the
part of his own party, be would go with Frank Blair,
and vote for the other party. He would vote for no
snch swindle on the tax-pavrrs of the country. He
would vote lor no each speculation in favor
of the large bondholders and millionaires. He
repeated, though it waa hard to say, that if even
Frank Blair stood on the platform of paying accord
lug to the contract, and that the Republican candidate
stopd on the platform of paying bloated - speculators
twice the amount agreed to he paid to them, and of
taxing hlB constituents to do so, he would vote for
Blair, even if a worse man than beymour headed the
ticket. IMucb excitement and sensation J
Mr. Ross—The Democratic doqrs-fire still open, and
the gentleman can be taken in.< [Laughter. 1 ,■
Mr O’Neill moved to fix'the interest at four and a
half per cent.. and spoke in support of that motion. 1
Mr. Schenck Opposed, the motion,' declaring his
belief that.lhe debt could be consolidated gradnally,
at the rate of interest proposed by the Committee of
Ways and Means. Ho had no objecdonto make tho
bonds fifty or sixty year bonds, instead of forty years.
Mr. O’Neill’B amendihent, fixing the rate of inter-'
est at 4M per cent., was rejpeted
Mr. Bike’s amendment, to make the interest 4 per
cent.; was also rejected.
Mr. Bootwell expressed his belief that the pas
sage of this bill would postpone indefinitely the return
to specie payment. Neverthe ess, waiving his own
judgment he would vote for It. fie preferfed, how
ever, two classes of bonds-one class 'for domestic
investment, at a rate of interest which would’ render
them desirable, and the other clasa for foreign invest
ment, at a lower rate of Interest
Mr. Miller favored the Senate bill in reference
to the amendment of the Committee of Ways and
Means. > -
Mr. Delano deprecated the doing of anything to
shake confidence in the national credit.- Me con
sidered him an enemy to his. country who aimed
directly or indirectly a blow at the credit of the nation,
the country would have to stand np to its bargain not
only to the letter, bnt ±o the spirit of it.. He pre
ferred the Senate bill to the amendments of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. '
Mr. Benton also professed his preference for the
Senate bill. ■>
Mr. Looan argned that the only way to compel the
fundingof the present United States bonds in bonds
paying smaller interest was to impose a tax on all the
present bonds.,
Mr. Pile moved to make the terms of the bonds
sixty years, and spoke in support of that proposi
tion.
Mr. Dawes, alluding to a reference to the high quo
tations of Massachusetts bonds in London, explained
that these were five per cent sterling bonds, payable
in London, and that they were three per cent, above
par, while the United States six per cents, in the Same
market were twenty-eight per cent below par. He
attributed the great preference for the Massachusetts;
bonds to tho fact that they were payable only in Lon
don. hardly any being held on this side; while the
slightest political trouble on either side sent ten mil
lions’ worth of bonds to this country in a week, and
took hack ten millions of specie. Under the circum
stances there conld be no health in the currency or
credit qf the government. Let Congress authorize a
forelgnloan at three and a half or four, per cent, in
sterling imnds, with the interest payable in London or
Frankfort, and he had aßsorahceß that tuo-bonda
would he taken in Frankfort to any amount.
Mr. Bdtleb, of Massachusetts, agreed with his
colleague; and thought that bonds paying 3 65-100 per
qent. interest, free from all. sorts of taxation, and
with a long time, say fifty years, to run, would furnish
all the advantages that his colleague had desired.
THE DAILY EVENING BPtLETIK—PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 1868;
Mr Pile’s amendment to extend the time to sixty
years was rejected.
Mr: Brooks declared himself opposed to the propo
sitions ol the Committee of Ways and Means, and
neither woIUI he commit himself to the old as It
-from the-Senatcr—He-~objcct**d—to~long-r»OT'd* —and-
prefemd U-b year b: nas tit least, to be provided for
At tblsscseion. In a futore session, with s belter nn
derttsndlng'of tbe subject, Uougreaa could legislate.
Alter lur bu- discretion by Messrs. Ju id. Bis and
other members, the vote was taken on the first amend
ment ol tbe Committee of Ways and Means, making
butene class of bonds, forty years, at 3 65-100 per
C4nt., and it W&8 agreed to ■
Mr. Paine moved to'amend the provision about
exemption from taxation by inserting these words,
•*which eaid tomds shall be exempted from taxation
In any form whatever.”
Altera discussion by Mr. PAine and others,
Mt. Pike modified his amendment by making it
read, ’“»nd the interest thereon and income here
from shall be exempt from tbo. payment of all taxes
or duties lo tbe United States, as well as from taxa
tion ot any.form oy or nnder any BUte, municipal
or other authority.”
Air. Garfifld opposed the amendment as one
)lbc y to conilnne tbe popular oatcry against exemp
tion of caplialistsfrom taxation.
Air. Allison agreed with Mr. Garfield in his objec
tion, but said' there was an oojectfon lying still
back ol that, namely, the impropriety of exempting
od6 class of property from taxation. f no matter
what might happen to be the argent necessities of
the country.
Air. bcfiENK deprecated the idea of legislating on
prejudice or popular clamor, as intimated by bis col
league (Mr Gbrfield), and the gentleman from lowa
(Mr. Allison) The people were not to be blinded or
led astray by demagogues, sad they woald very well
understand that when a man owning a six per cent,
exchanged it against a 3 65-100 percent bond, he paid
all bis >ax on that income in advance.
. Mr. Nirlack moved to amend by striking out the
exemption from taxation, and inserting, “which said
bonds shall be liable to taxation by or nnder State,
municipal or local antbOrlty, to tbe same extent as
money is taxed nnder such State, municipal or local
authority, and no greater.”
Thiß amendment was discussed by Messrs. Nlblack,
Pike, AxteD and Bingham. •'** •'
Without disposing of it tbe Committee rosa'and on
motion of Mr. Dawes the credentials of Representa
tives elect from Loulslaca/and tbe action of that
bute ratifying ihe fourteenth amendment of the Con
stitution, werereferred to the Committee on Elec
tions. ' ’
Mr. Schekck moved that the evening session be to
go on with the funding bill. Agreed to.
Mr. Myers moved that if the funding bill be dis
posed of to-n!ght,tbe Committee will then go on with
the tariff bUL Negatived.
The House, at hve o’clock, took a recess till half
past seven.
Tbe thermometer in the Chamber to-day indicated
90 degrees.
The House resumed its session in Committee of tho
Whole, Mr. Pomeroy in the Chair, and resumed the
consideration of the funding*bili.
Tbe amendments reported by* the Committee of
Ways ana Means, to the second section, merely verbal,
were agreed to.
A discussion arose on the section proposed to bo in
eatied instead of section 3. legalizing contracts payable
isgod, which authorlzt-e the conversion of United
States notes into bondn for »n equil amount, nud of
l>ondS into United States notes, unleaa the United
States notes then outstanding ehali amount to
OOO.OijO
- Mr. Broomall moved to reduce the amount of
$4(11, Gop,(JUO to §356,000,000, being the amoant now in
circulation.
Tfyi pectiOD and the amendment were debited by
Metf/s. BroomaP, Pike, Garfield, bcUenck, Bout well,
lioept-r Lynch, Butler (M * es.), Logan, Icgersell, Alll
hon, aul others.
Flna'ly debate was clofl'-d.
Mr. Incebsoll moved ro strike out the provision as
to ibc llciir of United States notes. Rejected.
Mr. Cobubs moved to strike oat the efuaso allowing
col version of United States notes into bonis. Re
jected
Mr Inuebsoll moved to increase the limitation
fr<-m §<3-0,000. 000 to §355,000,000. /
Various other amendments were offered and re
jected. Finally, the vote was taken oq inerting the
♦•ectioD as reported by the Committee of W-iyfl and
Meore, in olace of section 3, and the amendment was
rejected—4o to 02. .. /
The next amendment was to strike out the third
section legalizing contracts in coin/ It was debated
by Mesns. Axtell, Eloridge /Logan. Cavauaugu,
lUgby, Brjden Allison, Cobuprf, Hubbard of West
Vuglnis, and others. /
Mr. Cavanaugu moved toleealize contracts paya
ble in v old dust, and advocated that proposition,
which wasrejee’ed. /
Mr. Cobvrn took the ground tbat the proposition
would be disustroue and would result in general bink
ruptc and fnin, as alf tbe notes would be hereafter
made payable in golo, and would cause gold to rise
any per cent. -
Mi. liuijnaßP,pf West Virginia, moyed to amend
tbe section by providing that gold contracts; maybe
paid in legal tenders at the rate of gold in the New
Y ( rk market the day the contract matures.
Mr. Blnghau ‘ advocated striking out the section,
a* rccor mendtd by the Committee of Ways aad
Means. He >esarded the section &8 in the interest of
the asurer and the money monger, and against tbe
Interest of the Republic. No more destructive or
injurious legislation could be enacted by Congress.
x Mr. Gabfield advocated the retaining of the
pectloD, with a proviso prooosed to be offered
Mr. fecbenck, if the section be not struck out. He
regarded it as one of the means to bring back the
coontry to specie payment.
The debate being closed, the question was taken on
Mr Hubbara’c amendment, Mid it was rejected.
Mr. Gabfield offered Mr. fichencks amendment
to the section, providing That tbe consideration for
coin contracts shall be matter arising after the pos
tage of the act, Ac. Agreed to. /
Air. Peters moved to amend by requiring contracts
in coin to be in writing. Agreed to.
Mr. Ingersoll suggested that the section was for
the benefit of the goto operators of Wall street.
Mr. Pike remarked that it was in anticipation of
tbe decision of the Supreme Court, which would rulo
tbe legal; tender act void .
Finally the section was struck out.
Tbe Committee rose, and the House, at half-piet
ten, adjourned. . ,
The following is the bill, so far as passed anon:
That the Secretary of the Treasury Is hereby author
ized to issue coupon or registered bonds of the United
States, in such form as ne may prescribe, and of the
denomination of $5O, or some multiple of that sum,
redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United
States after forty years, And bearing interest payable
semi annually in coin, at the rate of 3 65-100 per
centum per annum, which said bonds, and the interest
thereon, and tbe income therefrom, shall be exempt
from the payment of all taxes or duties to the United
States, os well as from taxation in any form by or un
der State, municipal, or local authority; and the said
bonds, and the proceeds thereof, shall be exclusively
used lor the redemption or payment, at the option of
the holder, or purchase of an exchange for an
eaual amount of any of the present .interest —
bearing debt of the United States,- other than the
three per centum certificates and debts past due or
maturing before the end of the present fiscal year,
and may be issued to an amount, in the aggregate,
sufficient to cover the principal-of all outstanding or
existing obligations as limited herein, and no more.
Section 2. And be it further That thare
is hereby appropriated out of the daties derived from
imported goods, the sum of 8135,000.000 annually,
which sum during each fiscal year shall be applied to
tbe payment of the interest, and to the reduction of
the principal of the public debt And such redaction
shall be inliea ot the sinking fund provided by the
fi th section of theg&ct, entitled “An act to authorize
the issue of United States notes, and for the redemp
tion or funding thereof, and for funding the floating
debt of the United states.” Approved February 25,
1862. :
