Whether Or not it is policy for the Government to tax its own bonds is a question as yet unsettled. But, in answer to the l'opnteee's interrogatory, we would say. that; while the state and looal tax, ation of thesdbonds would be repudiation, 'it is net repudiation, for the Government to tax 'them for its own ptirposes, The •t difference is this ; the. Act of Chtigress, :ruittatetilly.says.:_VAnd all stooks, bonds and. other_seeurities_of _the-United-States, held by individuals, corporations; or. AS; soeiations'ivititirt the.

According to Mr. Seymour's owu fig ures; therefore, but '5175,000,000 have been expended for the current and legiti ruatp expenses of' the army and navy in three years, or less than. $59,000,000 per annum,_a 'sum mu'oblesi for each regi-. ment of the army than was expended for the same service under Buchanan's.

In order that our tetiderti may, Nvith the facts before them award a fair verdict upon the equity and justice of the - course pursiieff the Government and the Railroad-- Company respectively, we , append an authoritative stateniihit of the situation which wo can vet:eh-for as entirely reliable: Up to 1852 the P. 0. Department . paid the Cumberland Valley Railroad Company for Carrying the mail from Harrisburg to Chambersbtirgi - SU29 .- per annum. At that titne . hy contract 'with - . the governMent the-compensatibn for this service was re duced-to $5,200. per . year. Subsequently the Company became contractors for carry 0611mila-from Chambersbitrg to Hagers: town-22 mfles—at $llOO per year—making in all Sti,.3oo'per year for mail service be twoqn 'Harrisburg' and Hagerstown. These contracts have been.,renewed at these rates every four years. -- ._ - About the middle of May last the 'Rail Road Company was notified hy' the Pot, office Dope, talent that a reduction of abOut 25 per cent would be made on existing rates, to take effect from`and after the 50th of June, to which the President of the Cintipa ny replied on the 31st'of May, that lio.would . not agree to renew the contracts open the terms proposed by the P. 0. Department, and requested that it would !nuke other provislorts for carrying the mails .rom that period. The Second Asst. Post Master_ General stated in answer that he would make some other arrangements for mail service if the Company refused on the Ist of Julito.corry = the mails on Ms terms, The contract expired at that time.' The work ceased and no other such promised arrange nients'has yet been made. -, . The work to be done is hi s earay two dai ly mails between the extreme points of the road, to furniSh a Post Office ear and tic- - commedations for the , Mail Agent and to keep up omnibuses and men to deliver .the mails to - and from the important Mikes_ on the road, for which the Department offers'te, pay the Company x-1,780 per year. This sum after deducting expenses would not pay the Mail Agent's fare and a proper charge for the bar furnished. The business of the Post Offices on this route - has' increased fourfold since the,llest establishment of the compen sation which the company has -been-teceiv ing for the last Sixteen Years and . whieh it is Willing yet, -fo receive for 'its services. The dail:y' expenditures of the Railroad Company for conducting its operations mounts to 6800 at least t which payment renders it necessary that none of its busi ness should be . done gratuitously. The taxes annually paid by the Company - to the United States amount to $95,000. , From this plain recital of facts every fair mind will be impressed With the conviction that - tile U; --- 8. Post 'Office Department is clearly wrong in this matter and that its -stolid indifference to the needs of this cam- Mbnity is most rePreherisible.
