M . 1 - 4e-iUrantqlttbiue IRIW • . ItAltcl[ TUE 'NATIONAL DES r From time to time the Secretary of dm Treasury indulges the pleasantry of ma king exhibits of the finances, showing a steady diminution of the national debt. Bondholders are delighted, and tax-pay ers comforted: 3fembers of Congress urge sweeping reductions of taxation, o r the tlonbM plea of present relief, and of leering posterity . a legacy so that it May have a' vivid remembrance ot the Isui triiiiithini of this generation. News : pa pers- delude the question solemnly, whether iris better to pay off the debt in a quartet of a century, or to occupy hundred years the curicelfution. Ali thine assertions or Insinuatiods are alike false and misleading. The national in debtedness, instead of lessening, is in- creasing from month to mouth; and twenty y -ars hence, ine.tird of being low ilia!, it cow se, is more 'likoly to be shiubled. The vast expenditures made indispen sable by the war; the comparative ease with which unprecedented sums were raised by resorting to paper money. and other Rains of credit, audthe docility of the people under taxation''.so excessive as to be without_a parallel, have engender ed a lavishness in appropriations which. is absolutely reckless. All suggestions of prudence and economy are contemp tuously. dismissed as belonging to the era before the Rebellion, and not de serving of thought, much less of practice, in these later times. When Banin VON Beusr was called, after the recent great defeat of Austria, to direct its administration, he found the expenditures demanding a sum, vastly heyond the income, and the national credit so impaired that additional loans were impossible. He began by reso lutely nutting down expenses. lie com menced with the Emperor, and went doWn through all the Civil List, cutting a third from all alarits or emoluments. He stopped - all the leaks iu the 'Desert. ry, and made all new enterprises wait: By Ulna: vigorous and sensible raeas r tires, he' put an entirely fresh aspect upon the affairs of the Empire. At Washington the rule seems to be to increase all salaries, to hunt up as many schemes is possibl^ noon which motley may be spent, to extend the pub lic credit so far as to , determine at what precise point it will give way, to en hance prices by marvellous deluges of irredeemable paper promises, and to par - sly= domestic industry by refusing to protect It from ruinous competition with the lower. paid industry of the Old World. Would that the 'United States had a VON BELNT 13131IGRATSON Texas and Louisiana have taken at least one step in the right direction. They have each established ; Bureaus in Europe with a view to turning the tide of emigration, particularly from Germa ny, into those States. Paifore tho war, large bodies of Germans went Into Tex as, taking with them some means, and much induitry, intelligence and perse verance. By instinct and conviction they inclined to the side of Loyalty and Freedom. Daring the war they were badly treated. In many instances the most shameful has barities were practiced upon them. Reports of these transac-', tions found their way across the Atlantic. The interposition of a miracle would bars been required effectually to stop their Sight. It is not likely they lost in , magnitude or coloring during the voyage. In consmpience, when the war closed, the tide of German immigration did not return to Texas but set towards Missouri. It is all ged that the authorities of Mis souri, or, at least, persons it - eying a deep pecuniary interest in the rapid =cute - mem of its unoccupied lands, took spec ial j.slits to put these vr,judicial reports Into the worst shape and keep them in • circulAtion. There may be something in this, but rot much. The unmixed truth was so appalling that the most in ventive faculties could not add much to its horrors. The story is an old one. Crimes inflicted by the TP.tans upon their German neighbor., came home to roost. It will require time and labor to wipe up the unfavoranle im pression made by undoubted facto; but we trust this will be done, and in good faith. What Teias and Louisiana want, in common with all the Southern States, is an intelligent populatP n, knowing how to work, and n9t unwilling to-put that knowledge to practical use. With an accessiodof that stet, such as their re sources of climate, soil and minerals in vite; a new and better career will open before them. • TUE Charleston Mercury takes a very just view of the podtiou of the South ern Statee under ihe Reconstruction Bill. It reminds its readers that nothing is si.bmitted by it to the discretion of the South. Terms are not offered for them to accept or reject, as they please. The Constitutional Amendment of MB was thus offered to them and they rejected it; but this bill marks out certain things which are to be done, with or without the consent of the South. State Con ventions are to be milled--delegates are to be elected by universal suffrage, a new Constitution is to be formed and sub mitted to the popular vote. All these . '•things are fixed facts. All- that any Southern man has - to decide is whether he will vote or_not. The Mercury says that it is simply a questim whether the great body of the people shall take part in framing the Constitution or leave the whole balances to colored voters enfran chised by the bill.' This view of the care will donbtices control the , action of he great mass of theSouthem people. Tun Chamberaburg Repository speaks of one of the Allegheny.
