TII7OA I AXAMOR 01i BONiIS.
A strong vote of the House, yesterday,
(92 to 54) committed the popular branch of
Congress in favor of the taxation of United
States - .bonds, the proper Committee being
instructed to report without delay a bill re-
quiring the Treasury to levy an annual tax
of ten per centum on the interest of the
bonds, to bewithheld in the payment of the
coupons. In accordance with this instruc
tion, such "a bill will be reported and the
House will undoubtedly pass it. There is
as little doubt that it will be defeated in the
Senate, from indications heretofore in that
body.
A WisConsin member offered this resolu
tion, but it is substantially the same as "that
,
with which Nam PntE, SurLErt and

greataneaaure upon the simply legal que!ktthnL
The constitutional and legal right of Con.
gress, to tax those sec u rities in the mode
proposed, is maintained on one side and
denied on the other. It will remain an
open and much vexed question until an
authoritative judicial decision upon it shall
be given. And nothing short of that will
satisfy a very considerable minority of the
people.
The legality of the proposed tax being
assumed to be established, we apprehend
that it would be found difficult to maintain
the policy of continuing to exempt this de
scription of property from sharing, in some
sort, in the present support 'of the public
burthens. Upon the expressed hypothetis,
it shows an ignorance of the real tendency
of the popular sentiment, or au indifference
to its sincere and earnest demands, to insist
upon the continuance of that exemption
any longer. It is not surprising, therefore.
that Representatives have assented to the
wisdom of a prompt submission of the legal
question to that decision which, in case the
Senate should concur with the House,
would be instantly sought for ..by the per
sons claiming to-be aggrieved.
We doubt the legality ;'of the proposed
taxation. But it is not ours to decide that
question. Nor is it a province which, un
der the circumstances, Congress will do
wisely to dssume, excluding all judicial Ap
peals. As the case stands, we cannot but
think that the House does well to meet the
question as it has, and that the Senate should
concur, immediately taking the matter
out of the field of political discussion and
partizan feeling, and remitting it to the safe
and conclusive test of experience, with the
courts open for the protection of such per
sonal rights as may be found to be infringed
upon. It is not to be denied that there exists
in some sections of the country a very decided
sentiment in favor of subjectingthis descrip
tion of property to taxation in that or , some
similar way, nor is it well to doubt the ex
pediency of effecting, at the earliest
moment, the only solution of the ques
tion which will satisfy all. parties. The
quicker and the more conclusively it shall
be settled the better for all concerned—es
pecially and most of all, for the public cred
it. And, fortunately it is not a question
which, as yet, has - assumed a type so com
pletely partizan as to preclude the assured
confidence that the rights of the creditor, as
well as of the Treasury, will be faithfully
protected in the courts. •
We hold faithfully to the Chicago plat
form in its preferenci for that mode of di
minishing the burden of our_ debt, which
looks rather to an improvement of credit,
and„,the obtaining of money
.for the public
needs at a lower rate of interest. There are
good reasons for the belief that the present
forms of the public debt can be so changed,
with the assent of all pFties, as to secure
precisely that end, without presenting any
legal difficulties or questions whatever. We
believe it to be the imperative:duty of Con
gress, therefore, to submit some proposition
of that character to the public creditors. Let
the action of the House, on yesterday,
be supplemented, as it should. be,with the
offer of a new loan upon such terms as shall
ensure the acceptance of the creditor, sub
stituting his present securities therefor, and
shall at the same time diminish the load up
on the Treasury. Of the two alternatives
thus legalized, there can be little, doubt as
to which would command the general ap
proval, And in a few months nil the difficul
etes of the financial situation would be ef
fectively settled:
\ •
DIONEy THAT IS NOT MONEY,
That the creation of what is known as the
Legal Tender Currency was necessary . , to
the prosecution of the war against the
Slaveholders' Rebellion, we have never
doubted. In that necessity WIIS found the
only excuse or justification of that'currency
which was'entitkd to even the slightest con
sideration; for that currency is so inherent
ly viciotis as to find apology oily in a pub
lic Amergency so peculiar and urgent as to
admit of no other prompt alleviation.
In all civilized nations, mixed currencies
are used to facilitate the transaction of buli
ness. These consist of bullion, specie and
Written or printed promises to pay definite
aims of money. Paper currency is vari
ously distinguished as bonds, drafts, notes
or checks, and has'come, in one or other of
these forms, to be employed in the larger
commercial and financial transactions in
place: of real money, because of its superior
convenience.
An irredeemable paper currency, under
the ordinary condition§ of national exist
ence, is a deception and fraud. r Converti
bility into coin, at the option of the holder,
is the only admissible test of the value of
paper promises to pay money. i With gold
ranging from 1.40 up to 2.80, the precise
figures show the degree of the depreciation
of the medium of circulation.
All true paper ; money is in the nature of
a genuine bill of exchange, in that it repre
sents property specially appropriated for its
cancellation. The Legal Tenders' are en
tirely deficient iithis element, in that they
do not represent the accumulations of pro
ductive industry,' but the waste and destruc
tion'consequent' upoa the war. They do
not symbolize what the nation has, but what
it once had, but has no longer.
These are among the reasons fiter which
we look with ,favor upon the bill which
passed one of the Houses of Congress; some
days ago, but which is likely to fail in the
other, authorizing all contracts to be made
payable in real money, and not in that
which professes to be money, but is not.
The objection felt at 'Washington to this
bill is that it would measurably, if not
wholly, supersede the Legal Tender act, by
reducing all monetary: engagements to. the
specie basis. On the contrary, m' this ten
dency, we discover the meritorious element
in the projected enactment.
Inpoint of fact, all contracts are now and
have been along made upon the, specie
basis; that is to say, just in proportion as
the circulating :rnedium has been vitiated has
gold increased in;reiative price. In all

ATlmonly'exception.til this rule. is,fimnd in
cases where bonds, mortgages, judgments
or other securities were held at the begin
ning of the war, with long and fixed times
to run. The holders could do nothing but
take Legal Tender for contracts made on
the gold basis and submit to the loss, which
averaged more than one-half of their entire
demands. Of course, the creditor classes,
upon a return to specie payments; will ob
tain compensation to some degree for these
loges; only the creditor classes that will be
indemnified will; not be identical with those
that were victimized.
But the Legal Tender Act must be super
seded some day, and may as well be now
as at any future period, provided the super
session can be made permanent.' So long
as paper currency is used, the return to
specie payments, or the maintenance there
f, is always a matter of faith on the part
f the whole comMunity. So loneas the
, ppreLension is general and definite, that
pills can be converted into coin at the pleas
use of the holders of them, comparatively
few persons desire specie. Butwben a sus
picion prevails that - specie - cannot be ob
tained upon demand, in exchange fOr bills,
instantly arises an -intense desire to draw
the money, no matter , if considerable incon
venience attends the custody and ultimate,
disbursement of it. This desire , to realize
heal money is not a bare fancy, or the pro
duct of fickleness, but proceeds from the
understanding that an irredeemable circula
lion is always, and of necessity, a depre
ciated circulation.
We are aware that eminent financial doc
tors contend that specie paynients cannot be
safely resumed—that .is, resumed, with a
fair probability of being maintained—until
the nation shall have; earned and accumu
lated an amount of property at least equal
to that expended in carrying on the war.
To this, we do not wholly consent. The
coin existing in the country, and which is
now essentially an article of merchandise,
is not so greatly less than the whole bulk of
Legal Tenders that the latter cannot be
safely retired so as to bring it into common
circulation. The fullness of the crops now
tarvesting renders this process much ;easier
, hen It wou:d be under other circumstances.
.e transition from fictitious values to real
, nes, for labor and all tte products thereof,
diffd now be comparatlvely easy because
l atural and healthy.
This process would be greatly. helped by
e existing curtailment of commercial cred-
it-, which r furnishes a stable ground
o • which to erect a superstructure of confi
d • ace. Under the old system of long and
e. cessive credits, few business men, in com
p• 'son to the whole number, knew how
t• ey stood; the elements of that problem I
w eso entirely outside of themselves, and
t. be found in the condition of other par
tii
I •s, of whose stability they could indulge
injectures, but seldom matte sound esti
lates. A man's ability to pair depended
the certainty and piomptness with which
should be paid, and of that, on a pinch,
could predicate nothing.._ A. general con-
s 'ousness prevailed that the system was
rotten and liable to fall down upon the
heads of those who upheld it. Hence,
when one considerable commercial firm or
banking establishment failed, a wide-spread
panic ensued. This was the spontaneous'
testimony, rendered by business men, al
most universally, to the inherent defects of
the system of credits they tolerated. When
such q panic once started, neither its extent
nor the amount of mischief it would inflict
could be computed in advance. It ordina.
rily resulted in cleaning out a whole crop of
enterprising men, who had not sufficient
capital at once to carry their stock of goods
and to take up the business paper discounted
on their accounts.
Matters are ordered better now. Busi
ness is not practically synonymous with
speculation. Men are expected to exercise
at least an ordinary. degree of prudence in
the conduct of their affairs, and not to trust
everything to the chapter of accidents. This
makes it safer to attempt a resumption of
specie payments than it would have been
under the old system. 'Doors do not stand'
wide open for distrust to enter. Business
men have generally confidence in them
selves, and consequently in each other. A
trial will show resumption to be easier than
mere theorists imagine.
“CONSERVATIVE” SOLDIERS.
The list of names of delegates to the
"Conservative". Soldiers'. • Convention,
which is to meet in New York on the day
preceding the regular Democratic Convek
tion, presents remarkable attractions to
loyal men.. Among the delegates to their
Democratic side-show, we , see named the
following:
N. 11. Forrest, General In thelßebel Army, and
the butcher of Fort Pillow; IL It Hill, General in
the Rebel Army; John IL Gordon, General in the
Rebel Army; Thomas L. Price, General In the
'Rebel Army; Z. B. Vance. non-lighting General in
the rebel service; Wade . Hampton. General In the
Rebel Army; J. G. Barrett. rebel apyiluring the war;
Robert Uitld, rebel agent for the exchange of pea-
OUCTS.
A dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
states that these men "will nominate Gen
eral RANCOUR. for President, and Thomas
A. RENDILICKS, of Indiana,i for Vice-Presi
dent, and expect by this pressure in ad
vance to dictate the Democratic nomina
tions."
It is undoubtedly true that this -ex-rebel
element will largely influence the final nomi
nations. There are abundant indications
that the South will attend the gatherings at
New York full of its old arrogance and
bitterness, demanding to lead the Conven
tion and threatening defeat if their clamor is
not heeded. Should we wonder that the
Party, which FORREST, BARRETT, OULD &
CO. aspire to lead, desires the "buried
Issues" of the rebellion to be kept out of
sight ?
ALBERT Pncu, in the. Memphis APPear ,
says of the Chase movement
-“we have heard that Catholic sailors,
tired of fish and eggs, if they had eggs-to
eat during Lent, had a habit of fastening a
ham to a line, letting it over the ship's
side into the sea and drawing it up again ,
repeating the .formula, "Down ,Glatamon,
up Salmon !"—after which 'they could eat it
without : needing absolution or doing
awe. No other process, we think can tplike.

United States District Court—Judge Mc-
ff=ffi
Candles&
District Attorney Carnahan filed a libel in
the case of the United States vs. Seven
thausand pounds of tobacco found in Mead
township, Crawford county.
A libel was also filed against the distillery
of Edward Lyon, of Lvcoming county, to
gether with the machinery and appurte
nances, and six barrels of wnissy. A mo
nition was issued and made returnable on
the 15th of July.
Judge McCandless delivered a decision
in rega
, 1
to the application of Theodore
Straub d David Sankey, who asked to be
decreed 'first informers" in the case of the
United tates vs. The Distillery et. al. of
John. Der, of Beaver county. The case
was tri d in 1865, and under the decree of
the Co t the parties received five hundred
dollars as their portion of the proceeds of
the sale of the distillery. They afterwards
ascertained that they were entitled to one
half of the proceeds of the sale—about
eight thousand dollars. They then en
deavored to obtain a new decree, but the
money bad been paid over to the Govern
ment. The matter was argued some time
since. Judge McCandless decided the mat
ter had passed. beyond the jurisdiction of
the Court, by the previous decree. The
Court could therefore only express the opin
ion that the said T. F. Staub was the "first
informer,." .and entitled to a moiety of the
forfeiture.

Quarter Sessions—Judge Stowe.
Court met at ten o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and the following business was trans
acted: .
THE 0 NEILL RIOT CASE.
The examination of witnesses for the de
fense was comtnenced, and the following
testimony heard :
Nicholas Fast, sworn—Reside about six
miles above McKeesport; came down to
McKeesport on the day of the riot with
Matthew Plot; he bad on a black coat ands,
cap; it was seven o'clock in the morning
when we left Osceola. ,
Cross-examined—Left him at McKees
port; came down in the afternoon train.
Re-direct--Plot's reputation for peace is
good.
Nichol= Walter, sworn—Reside at Col
liersyille, about eight miles from McKees
port; saw defendant Plot on the evening of
the 30th of March last; he_had on a black
coat and a cap; his , reputation for peace is
good.
Dennis O'Conley was sworn and testified
that he had heard consultations among the
defendants previous to the disturbance
John Faulkner testified that he saw the
procession, and they bad no arms.
Michael Murphy testified that he was a
coal digger, residing at Six Mile Ferry; was
up to the road *here the locomotive stop.
ped; some of the men were sitting there;
we went upto see some of Mr. O'Neill's
men, who were working there; they were
working for three cents per bushel; we
thought this too small and wanted to get
them to strike with us; went home after
the conversation occurred between Mr.
O'Neill and the men.
Cross-examined—Only knew one man in
the crowd; his name was Mike Nevin.
Bernard Hoffn&an testified that the pro
cession was formed at Six Mile Ferry, and
had "walking sticks;" witness said he had
a ,piCk handle which he used as a walking
stick; the entire procession did not stop any
where on the road; a good many people
joined in the processicfn going up; heard a
part of the conversation between Mr. O'-
Neill and the men relative to going up to
seo his diggers; some of us were sitting on
the bank of the run below reading a paper,
and heard a gun snap; soon after this some
parties up by the check house threw stones,
and we left and went up the other side of
the • hill; don't know exactly who threw
the stones, suppose one of them was a dig
ger, as he had digger's clothes on. •
Cross-examined—Do not know any of the
defendants; saw a few men, about five or
six, go up the hill; some of them pme up
after us; did not hear much cheering; a
man whom they called Defore gave orders:
I don't know what stopped the procession.
Baptiste Bottle, sworn—This witness a
Frenchman, and his testimony was given
through an interpreter. He testified that
ho was a miner and was at the works on the
30th of March; there were about eighty
persons when they started from Six Mile
Ferry; they had nothing but sticks, used to
walk with; it was the gun that first halted
the men; the man that was killed said in
French to those around him that he would
go home over the hill, instead of going
back the way he came ; the man who was
killed had no stick in his hand.
Cross-examined—Did not see the man
- who was killed make a speech from a log,
And did not see the men swing their clubs;
they all went directly up the hill; I did not
go - up the bill myself.
Peter Grenet was sworn, and gave histes
timony through an interpreter: . he was a
minor, and visited the scene of the riot; the
men wore not armed.
Robert Watson, sworn—Reside at Six Mile.
Ferry; was not at Pine Run on the day of
the riot; saw the procession about seventy
five yards off; the men had no fits-arms;
some of them had walking sticks.
'Louis Zuge, sworn—. Saw. a man named
Gecko in the procession; It *as the inten
tion of some of the members to speak to
Mr. O'Neil; not toli,ght him; knew none of
the defendants. ' might have seen them there.
Mr. Kerr stated that some of the witnesses
had been arrested for alleged participation
in the riot.
Judge Stowe ordered that no witnesses
would be • allowed to leave the Court room
during the progress of the trial. • '
Mrs. Lightfoot testified that Pryor, one of
the defendants, kad boarded with her for a
number of years; his character for peace
was good. .
James twos sworn and testified
that he saw the piocession at Six Dille Fer=
ry; it left there about nine o'clock.
Henry Kramer testified that he was in
the procession,' and heard the conversation
between O'Neill and the party; ho went
back after this.
Alexander Foster was sworn on the part
of the Commonwealth, and testified that
Pryor, one of the defendants, had the rep
utation of being a man who frequently got
into difficulties. '
.Mr. O'Neill was re-called and stated it
was about eight miles from Sit Mile Ferri ,
to his house, and nine miles from the Ferry
to his works.
Hon. Thomas Marshall addressed the
jury, on behalf of the Commonwealth. It
was a difficult matter to prove the partici
pation of parties in a riot like this. It was
.a singular fact that none of the witnesses
for the defense know a single person who
participated in the. riut.
The first warning Mr. O'Neill had of the
transaction was the approach of two or
three hundred armed men—armed with
clubs. He had good reason to know that
he was in danger; his property had been
burned by parties in the same interest with
those who came in procession. If, as was
alleged by the defense, they wanted a com
mittee to see Mr. O'Neill's, men, why did
they march up in rank and file; why not
appoint their committee at Six Mile Ferry?
There was evidence of a common purpose.
The very fact that they obeyed the order of
their leaders was evidence of this. Mobs
were like infuriated betuits.
Before Mr. Marshall concluded the hour
of three o'clock arrived and Court adjourn
ed until nine o'clock this morning.
Three of the witnesses for the defence,
Grenet, Hoffinan and Dottie, were arrested
by officer Dougherty, who had warrants
for theui;for, participation in the riot, after
they had oven their testimony.

Our Nashvilleexchanges of the 21st inst.,
in noticing the current harvest of wheat
and its unusually fine quality, record the
first shipment for the season of several car
loads to •'Messr.s. E. T. Kennedy & Brother
Extensive Millers of Allegheny Cdy, Pews."
We learn upon enquiring of this enterpris
ing firm, that their agents W. H. H. Umble
and Mr. S. Kennedy are traveling through
Tennessee and parts of Alabama, purchas
ing the best crops of wheat and at once iM
ing the same in their own sacks, sent there
for that purpose, and shipping it home
by rail. The object, of Messrs. Kennedy ,
in this early search is to secure
an ample supply for the whole season of
the choicest qualities of grain, as it is their
determination to have constantly on hand
a stock equal to the largest local demand at
least of a genuine "Pearl" flour, equal to
the best brands in the United States, so
that fastidious customers shall have no once- '
sion or excuse for sending to St. • Louis or
Georgetown for flour. of special excellen
cies. To make sure of this,Europe has
been searched for the best olting cloths,
and there has been provided a new clean
ing apparatus, ' which thoroughly . scours
anci polishes the wheat before ding.
This process is the same that has t en abled
Messrs. Herr & Welch, of Georgetown, D.
C., to make the highest grade of flour in
the country. The wheat tiesigned for the
highest grade of the Pearl Mill is transpor
ted all the way from - Tennessee and Ala
bama in the Company's own sacks, thus
avoiding the mixture' of qualities, which
the use of elevators residers ilea
voidable. Samples of "May" wheat and
“Boughton " wheat from Nashville and
“Amber" wheat from Alabama, iaken
from parcels received by Kennedy :it Bro.,
can be examined at the office of the GA
ZETTE. Due notice of the date from which

CURE OF FISTULA.
Da. Reaffirm : I write to thank, you for your kind..
ness and scientific management of my disease, for
which I called to consult you some time in January
last. Yen will remember that I had a compllcation
of diseases, Which finally' ended in a terrible fistula,
which I had been advised to "let alone," ! on se.
count of a harassing cough, whit* it was feared
might fasten it on my lungs. I knew that the peen
lair mode of treating diseases like mine was by a .
matins; operation, which, if successful at all, would
naturally throw the disease upon the lungs or some
other vital ergs:l,' on account of the suddennesa , of
the cure and the immediate check to the discharge,
which I believed wean salutary provision of nature
to get rid of Some morbid condition of the system.
I feel"perfectly satisfied that your method of treat.
mut, purifying the system , and local applications
to the fistulous part, must cure, if anythinecould,
without cutting, which t And it did; and I unhappy,
to report myself well in every particular, , with
sounder and better health than I have had for years,:
I would also add that the applications you made
werc almost pathless, 'and have left me anew man,
with all the energlei and Vigor of restored health.
