The New York Daily News, in re- markablv accurate prediction of what Chase would have to ask for, has the following re- marks on the financial difficulties of the con soidated government:
 Amidst the universal distress there Is an insatiate demand for money for war purpo- ses. Nearly one hundred millions have in sixty days been raised already, and the movement has but begun. Let us enumer- ate. The government raised SlO,0o0,0o0 in January, and in February law was passed to raise S25 ,000000 It has requir- ed four efforts to obtain this money.
 The amount offered April was at the moment the expedition was fitted out in New York for Sumter. The public offer ed for the whole at 935 to 94, but the Sec retary having the incredible folly on the eve of such events to reject all below 94, was obliged, May 25th, to sell part ofthe same loan at S5. October P, the department negotiated S10,000,000 in ) per cent, stock at 1001, 10 years to run. equal to l16 for six per cent, stock. Thus, Tn a little over six months, the government credit fell thirty per cent. In addition to this $25, 1000, 900 borrowed by the feder- al government, the several States have created war loans to an aggregate of S2o,- GOO 900. There have been. private and city contributions to the amount of S',- 900 ,0O0, and the supplies and materials furnished to the troops privately are estl-
 mated at still 10000, 900 more.
 The total of $67 ,450, 900, absorbed in
 the last sixty days, has but about started
 the troops upon the war path. The liabil- ties already incurred by the federal gov
 ernment, and which the coming Congress
 must legalize, are not less than $50 ,oo0,'
 900. The army expenditures for the com
 ing year is generally placed at Ss25O, ,00O,
 900; but 250, 900 troops are already accept
 ed, and as the actual cost of the troops 1T the Mexican war per man was S94o, th' } present expenses cannot be placed unde
 S70O, which would give Sl75, O00,OOO The navy will require S60,000,0 ,0O0. Th' ordinary expenditures for the year are off ciaRy estimated at $70, 100000. Thes'
 items brought together are as follows Present obligations, $50, 0,O00, ,O00; Arm. expences, S175, 5,000,000; Navy expenses
 $6O 900 900; Ordinary. expenses, S70, GOO 900; Total required, S335, ,oeo, ,O0o. The customs may give O.OOO, 900, ant there will remain $500, 100000 to raise l This amount by loan would, if it could D
 got at 70 per cent. for 6 per cent. stock , require an issue of S43O, ,000,000 of stock which, added to the existing fund debt
 S1O9, s60,70 will make a national deb : of S539, S69, 703 for the first year of tn | war. : This is not very pleasing prospect fo Yankeedom! A debt of over five hundre millions of dollars at the end of the frs year, to say nothing of the prostratlon business, and the individual loss whlc y every citizen of the North must feel. WI a offer but scant compensation for vlctor :, eyen-much less for inevitable defeat. | |

The Montgomery Convention is reoslving
as brilliantly as ever. 1t is going to inquire
into the propriety of building several steel
plated steam sloops-of: war, raise a pro-
visional army, borrow $4,000 900 at eight
per cent, and levy an export duty of one
eighth per cent. on cotton. This last is
probably the only one ofthese measures that
will be realized
Ia Congress, the House finally passed the
bill suspending mails in the suspended States.
The COrwin resolutions were taken up and
amended, so as to provide that the Constitu-
tion shall never be amended in regard to
slavery in the States, when they were laid
down again. The Senate finally passed the
bill to pay the Oregon war-debt fixing the
amount at $24O0,O 900, and allowing further
inquiries. Senator Crittenden raised ques-
tion of Veracity with Mr.. Fessenden, and
seemR to have got his back up in an un-
seemly manner.
Mr.. Seward offered an amendment to the
Peace Propositions, to provide for calling
for National Constitutional Convention. q.
Perhaps this foreshadows the Lincoln policy.
Mr.. Doolittle said that at the proper time he
should offer an amendment to declare Seces-
sion rebellion, and the Constitution supreme.
Without something of this kind, the propo-
sitioDs will have good time passing any

The Commercial thinks that it is according
to the eternal fitness of Republican things,
that Mr.. Lincoln should offer John Bell a
place in the Cabinet; both having been
Henry-Clsy Wings, and there being nothing
incoI sistent between the Chicago Plat
form and the Constitution and the enforce
ment of the laws" which was Mr.. Bells
platform here; although he enlarged it some
what in the South, during the Presidential
canvass.
The Commercial says it would be no sacri.
fee of principle /; and on that head we pre-.
sumo it is good Republican authority, al
least for its own principles. That Mr.. Bell
devoted his chief attention during the Pres
idential canvass, to raking up his record, to
show that he declared for the protection of
slavery in the Territories long before Breck-
inridge ever thought of it, does not affect
the matter of principle at all. 1t involves
no change of principle.
1t is evident that if Mr.. Lincoln will learn
wisdom from the Republican papers here,
the country may soon be relieved from the
disturbance raised by his election. The diff
iculty was caused by the election of a Re-
publican Administration. Now, if Mr.. Lin
coin will relieve his Administration from
that character, quiet can be restored at once.
AS patriot this Is clearly his duty.

The NioDtEomery CONGRESS-.

BoETGoMERY, ALA, February 2S- Mr.
Wrieht's resolutions for discussion on per-
msnept Constitution will be up for public
consideration tomorrow.
Mr. Obilton's resolution, instructing the
Naval Committee to inquire into the pro-
pIiety of constructing several oh.plated
sloops was adopted.
The act to raise provisional forces of the
Confederate States and for other purposes,
directs, among other provisions, that the
President shall take charge of all military
operations between the Confederacy and
other powers
An act was passed to raise money to sup
port the Government.
1t authorizes the President to borrow
$l5,000,o00, payable in ten years, with inter-
est at eight per cent. The last section di-
rects the levying of an export duty Of one
eighth per cent. per pound on cotton ex-
ported after the lst of August, to create a
fund 10 liquidate the principal and interest
of the loan.

PIoy,rx With MIR. LiucOID,s Heifer.

The following highly important item was
telegraphed specially to the Gazette of yes
teTdaY:
''Mrs. Lincoln told Colonel Cuttings, with
whom she diped, that her husband was de.
red TO pursue conservative course"
Now, if we only knew what Mrs. Lincoln's
idea of a conservative course was, or any
body else's idea of a conservative course, we
should know all about what Mr. Lincoln is
going TO do; albeit he is not going to speak
out until be can do it officially. But it will
be remembered that Samson, another man of
muscle, was very close-moutbed himself; but
by "plowing with his heifer," the Philistiues
found out his riddle, and won from him a
large wager; a thing with which, in those
pure days, holy men used to back theiI
propositiOns.

ing the owner the full value Of his fugi-
tive slave, whom officers or claimants are
prevented from arresting him, "by violence
intimidation, mobs or riotous assemblages,'
or when hs is rescued "by violence or intimi.
dation.n
This is well enough il the indefinite term
intimidation" be left out. A Gulf S tate
man may claim that the public sentiment o.
the North is all intimidation; and may pre-
sent his claim for missing property, without
having even looked for it. When q slave Is
rescued by mob he should be paid for but
the locality should pay.
The last clause of section seven is as fol-
lows:
"And Congress shall provide law for Sc
curing TO the citizens of each State the
privileges and immunities Of the citizens OF
the several States"
This contains possibilities which may make
the citizens of the North as safe in the South,
ss Canadians French, English and other
foreigners are. But it will require the same
provision for compensating Northern men,
who are damaged in person or property in
the South, that is made for compensating
slave owners for slaves which are rescued by
mobs in the North. A white man should be
as good as a negro in the eyes Of the Con-
stitution.
So much for the labors of the Peace Con.
ference. There is, besides the practice, de-
structive to all stable government of treat
ing with treason and armed rebellion, aud
recognizing its claim as superior to the Con-
stitution.
But if there is any thing of any value in
these propositions-if they will restore peace
TO the country, all that is required is for
Congress TO enact them into laws. No
amendment Of the Constitution is necessary.
Every thing in them that is relevant to the
presentemergency,w will answer the same pur-
pose in an act of Congress, as in the CoDsti-
tuition. The veto Of the President and ofthe
Senate, and, lastly, the Supreme Court,
which is assuming a supreme control over
our legislation, will make the repeal of such
laws difficult enough for all practical pur-
poses. The North has never violated any of
its compromises on slavery. No constitu.
tional amendment is needed to bind the
North; and if the Constitution fails to bind
the South, no amendment would do it.
The politicians who are loudest in talking
for compromise, know that there is not the
slightest probability that any compromise
will be adopted by the number of States re-
quisite to put it into the Constitution. They
know also that one, probably, might pass
Congress, as a law; in which shape it would
be just as effectual. Why do they not pro-
pose a Congressional COMPROMISED Be-
cause most of them do not honestly desire
any settlement; but they desire to place
propositions before the people which can
not be adopted by two thirds of the States,
merely for agitation; out of which they
hope to reconstruct something besides the
Union. We repeat, that all there is in these
propositions that is pertinent to the present
disturbance, could be passed into acts of
Congress in three days, if the professed COM
promisers were sincere; and that there, they
would be just as effectual, in settlement, as
if they were in the Constitution

On Monday we shall enlarge the DAILY
PRtss 10 n size abouttbat Of the Daily Times
of which the edition tomorrow will be a
srecimen number; and shall publish il
daily-Sundays exec pted-at ten cents a
week. We make this enlargement to enable
us to furnish such paper as the wants Of
our readers require, and to furnish scope for
the editorial force engaged on the Pass, and
in accordance with the expression of great
number of our friends and readers.
We conform to the established custom of
excepting Sunday in the publication of a
daily paper, from conviction that the hu-
man system requires one day in seven for
relaxation, rest, and recreation. Business,
on which newspaper partly relies for sup
port, ceases on Sunday. The stoppage Of the
government mails and railroad trains on
Sunday excludes Sunday newspaper from
all circulation outside the city; and these
usually comprise more than half the circu,
lation Of our city papers.
Therefore we have arrived at the oonsci
entious conviction that Sunday was Or

men, as well ss all otbersi and that the be-
nevelent Dsture of our labor for the moral
and religious culture of the people, does
not suspend tbeEorder of Nature and Provi-
deEce.
In making this change, we shall relieve
ourselves from responsibility for the sin
which the Sunday papers entail on the
news boys; which, since we were aware Of
the organized efforts and large amount Of
money which have been devoted solely and
with an undertaking aim to the mitigation
of the newsboy's cry, has given US much
concern. The removal of some thing more
than ODe.half of the cause of this crying
evil, will enable The Sunday Newsboys'
Mitigation Committee to devote at least
halfcf their annual expenditure of 50, 400
to the soup house; and what blessing to
the poor that will be Besides there are
many of our religious friends who are graft
fed by the attention which the Pass gives
to religious subjects, but who have consei-
entious scruples about reading, or giving
their business to paper which publishes
Sunday edition.
The Pass will still continue to be the
cheapest paper published in this city; aud
we think, taking all things into considera-
tioD, the cheapest published anywhere. Our
readers will recollect that the cent papers in
other cities make scarcely any pretensions to
editorial comment or ability; nor to any
such completeness in all the departments of
a newspaper, as the PRESS has given them /;
and which we shall greatly improve upon iu
the enlarged paper. 1t will still be within
the reach of the million, while its character
aHd ability carry it into all families.
The exciting events yet to take place be
fore peace is restored to the country, will
make newspapers more than ordinarily in
teresting, end more than ever a matter O
necessity to all while in spite of politician
and rebels ibusiness and industry are revivin
in this city, and will continue to, and ever
industrious man will very soon be fully EN-
ployed.
