We publish in another column very ingenious
project for new financial system, which will be
laid before Congress when it meets in December
next. The joint of this system is the issue by
government, in payment Of all debts and in re-
dempton of the existing legal tender currency, Of
twenty year bonds for amounts of $50 and up
wards bearing AZ per cent interest, and made q
legal tender by law. As these bonds would he
actually PAYABLE at the expiration of twenty
years. the issue of them would amount to a COM
pulsory funding of the national debt which is now
unfunded. AS they would bear interest, they would
be more valuable and more sought after than the
present legal tender currency. As they would be
legal tender, they would answer the prr-
pose of currency, and government would
lose nothing on the sale Of them, while the
income they would earn would protect them
against undue depreciation. This is one of many
schemes which will be laid before Congress. II Is
clear that change will have TO be made in the
financial policy in December. The government
and the banks cannot go concurrenty issuing
paper to unlimited amounts, as is now the case
Which Of the two will prevail against the other
and retain the monopoly of the right of issuing
paper money remains to be seen. II would bo
far better that the government should prevail, and
that all bank issues should be driven in by taxa
ton. Whether this can be done-whcther Con.
gress is independent enough Of bank influences TO
pursue the right course--will not be discovered
till the subject comes up for discussion.
The Galena and Chicago Railway Company has

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,

FRIDAY, Nov. H-6P p N.
The money market continues tight from the ef-
fects Of the recent government negotiation. Bro
kers are 80 anxious to protect their stocks that
they compete with each other at an early hour for
money at seven per cent on call. The furry, how
ever, cannot last beyond q day or two longer
The bank balances are unprecedentedly large. and
the money paid into the Treasury is disbursed
again rapidly. Some money came here this morn
ing from Boston for employment. Mercantile pa

sold at 1927, 1872, and closed at 1917. The gold
market looks very uncertain. and many bankers
look for a sudden decline any day. Nothing sus-

from the army.
The stock market opened dull and lower this

If this war continue six months longer,
we fear that the institution of Slavery will
have lost its tenure in the South-it will
have received its deathblow. We have felt
this apprehension for months-indeed it
was one of the influences inducing us to
oppose the separation of Tennessee from
the Union, The leaders of Secession, who
iuaugurated the present unnatural strife,
professed themselves the peculiar guardians
of the South, and7her Slave property, but
the verdict of future history will declare
that, practically, those leaders were the fla
tai enemies of the Slavery institution, in
asmuch as their oYer-zealous scheme for
its moiutenanceremoved the only guaranty
of its existence. ae p
II this war continue six months longer,
we fear that, not only will the institution
of Slavery be destroyed, hut the entire
South will be utterly laid waste. The
Federal Government, struggling with au
obstinate rebellion, will be wrought to a
degree of desperation which will sweep
over the Southern States as besoln of
destruction. 1t were unwise to hArbor the
thought that the persisteuCy of the Con-
federates will finally wear out the energies
of the Government or PROSTATE the war
spirit of the loyal States. The power of the
Government is inexhaustible, and the
determination of the loyal people will,
under no circumstances, yield one jOt
or title short of tue complete restoration
of National authority. Twelve hun
dred thousand men, it necessary, splen-
didly armed and equipped, and stirred
by the resolution TO conquer or die, will
be precipitated upon the cotton States,
like an avalanche sweeping down noun
tain. The picture is fenrful toe sconiem-
platet- A hundred battle fields bHthed in
blood and thick With the dead and dying;
fields of agriculture, once green with the
richest products of earth, desolate forever;
the oncelquiet homes of six millions Of peo-
pie ravaged by the relentless hand of war
these are the consequences before us II
We deeply sympathize with the people of
the South. They are our kith and kin,
and, rs a brother, we would warn them
against the fate Inevitably awaiting them,
should they persist in this war upon the
Union. But, misguided as they are, under
the rule of the ambitious and desperate
men who lead them, they are, we fear,
doomed to all this suffering.

Ey The slate business of Vermont is
getting to be immense, and can we'll endure
the war tax Of 80 or 40 per cent soon to
20 into effect. OF roofing slate her pro-
duct is every year increasing and sells bet
ter; her enameled slate work is more cost
ly than foreign marbles and this is TAX
ing their place; and she can furnish the
world with slate pencils. One mill at
Castleton has manufactured 100000
slate pencils during the last three months
perhaps to supply the extra demand
for ciphering up taxes.
