The Power to Issuc Bonds to Liquidate

The Constitution prohibits the creation Of
n debt by authority Of the Legislature; but
it allows the rene 81 Of outstanding debts;
so all the new debts of cities are made in that
way now. First they run in debt, aud then
they call on the Legislature for authority to
issue bonds to "liquidate" the debt. The
Legislature does considerable of this business
every session, which shows the benefit of a
written Constitution. We observe that
amorg others, Toledo, whose municipal pro-
jects increase in splendor in proportion to
her taxation, has applied for authority to

The faulty of hostile demonstrations
against the Seeded States must be seen by
every sensible man, at glance. No such
demonstrations could effect the least change
in the condition Of those tes,-they would
in all probability, lead to Il secession Of the
Border States-they would prove, in the
END, an ignomuous failure-they would pre-
vent, it is likely, all idea of reconstruction
Of the Uniou-and they woald be objected
to by thousands of the best citizens in the
Northern States. The Administration would
gain nothing but hatred at the Southland
fail to obtain additional siren 9Th at the

Of IN old fint-lcck mu>kct, il relict Of the

discharging from it a load Of two ball car
tridgcs, and five buckshot, which, placed in
it thirty years ago, had never since been
Withdrawn. The sequel Of the affair is thus
related by the Express "Siationing himself
in true military style, he gave the words,

the trigger. The report lis Of Il cannon sound
ed through the air, and q jar equivalent to
that of cannon ball striking him landed
him upon his back ten feet from where he
stood The rebound Of the musket was pow

off his cheek, aud treble the amount from his

The Baltimore American thinks that no
philosophic leader of public o!inion, III any
latitude, really puts faith in such an absur-
dity, as is contended for, by some of the ad
vocates and apoligists of the present process
of disintegration in the American Union
which is, that the overthrow Of the Union
does not, in the slightest degree, initiate
against the capacity of man for self-sovern-
ment and will in no wise endangcr Repuo-
licaE institutions upon this continent. TIE
truth is, the breaking up OF the American
Union, will do incalculable mischief to the
cause of conservative republican liberty all
over the word--and seriously injure ii on
this eide OF the Atlantic.

timating that the reported conversation be-

has been misconceived, or exaggerated and
that it certainly does MT express the real
views of Mr.. Chase. We do not know the
authority of the Clipper for its correction
but. We presume it speaks from hearing the
matter explained according to the version it
gives. That conversation, as generally be-
lieved, has excited much feeling against Mr..
Chase and the Administration, in the South
and in Virginia especially. 1t was of such
a nature, that, it capable of explanation or
contradiction, air. Chase himself ought to
