OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Cost.

Abolitionists, in Congress and out of it, talk
very hippantly of emancipating all the Southern
slaves, and paying the shareholders for them.
Let US look at the figures of such proposition.
There are four million slaves. The bill now in
Congress, which proposes to abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, fixes the price to be paid
by the General Government at three hundred dol
lars per head. At that rate the emancipation of
all the Southern slaves would cost twelve hundl ed
million dollars, without including the cost of car
rying out the plan, of disposing of the
free negroes after emancipation. This sum.
according to the Constitution, would have
to be apportioned among the States according
to population As the white population of
the United Stats, according to the census of
1860, was about twenty seven millions. and the
population of Michigan three fourths of million,
the share for the citizens of Michigan to pay on
this speculation would be about S33 1885, 1893.
The Indebtedness of the General Government, on
closing the war account, will not be less than
twelve hundred millions more, which would make
the share of Michigan S33 1893 1893 more. Add to
this our present Safe debt of three and half
millions. and we have the siug sum of seventy
million dOllors for the people of Michigan to pay,
the annual interest of which at six per cent.
would be four million t,oo hundred thousand dol
lars. beside paying all other State, county, town
and school taxes.
AS this is a small matter. why not go in for so
reasonable ropostion.-Detrot Free Press?
According to this calculation the cost to the
taxpayers of Indiana for emancipating and
"ransoming" the Sodthern slaves would be about
sixty million dollars. To this add sixty million
more for her portion of the public debt on ac-
count of the war expenditures, and it would
make total Indebtedness of over one hundred
and twenty million dollars. The annual interest
upon this sum would be seren million t,oo hundred
thousand dollars, besides the State, county, town
ship city and school taxes

The Mcrrimac.


The Richmond correspondent of the New Or
leans Crescent thus describes this iroe clad rebel
steamer before her recent exploits which have
revolutionized naval warfare:
In the first place her engines are FIVE hundred
and ten horse power, and in spite of her great
weight il is thought she will make from twelve
to fifteen miles an hour. She does not draw by a
foot and half as much water as was expected.
When ahoat she presents to the enemy only a
roof above the water.
All her machinery is below the water line. Her
sides and roof are composed of oak twenty eight
inches thick, covered with six inches of plate and
railroad iron. She has an apparatus for throwing
hot water on boarders. Her armament consists
of ten guns only, all rihed.
The guns in her sides-four in number-are
eighty Founders. Those at the bow and stern
throw a one hundred pound solid shot, or one
hundred and twenty pound shell, and these guns
have three ports, which enables her to give a
broadside of six guns. She has furnaces for
heating shot Her crew consists of ten lieuten-
ants aud three hundred and fifty picked men, and
among them are the best gunners in the old navy
She has under water a wedge-shaped prov
of oak and iron thirty three feet long. Commo-
dore Buchanan commands her. and the second in
command is Catesby Jones-both men of the
highest order of courage. Buchanan has conf
dence in her, and says he is going to glory or
grave in her; Jones is less confident, but says
she is as good place to die in as a man could
have. The objection to her, and it is a serious
one. is the fact that she is entirely dependent on
her machinery; if that gets out of order she be-
comes mere log in the water. But if that
holds out, it is fair to expect that she will do
some damage to the two Yankee frgates now ly
ing off Newport News before this week ends
Let us not be too sanguine. but hope for the
best She may help to help us out of our great

symptoms or neacr,en.

The Democrats of New Hampshire have not
succeeded IN electing their candidate for Govern
or, but the Republican majority is ore thousand
less than it was last year. Democracy holds its
own even in New England, quarter from which
little j. to be expected. The town and charter
elections in New York were hotly contested, and
with scarcely an exception the Democrats have
gained largely. Towns heretofore Republican
have given unprecedented Democratic majorities.
The symptoms of great reaction are unmistake
able. We read column alter column OF Demo
cratic victories in our New York contemporaries,
and scarcely single instance where the Republi-
cans have gained or even held their own. The
tide is evidently setting strongly against the Re
publican party all over the country Beginning
with scarcely perceptible ripple on the surface
in Republican New England. it gathers strength
and volume as it sweeps westward over New
York, and when Pennsylvania moves, Republi-
canism will become completely submerged by

Financial Mafters.

Financial matters connected with the Govern
mept are thus condensed by THoMrsoS's Reporter
of last week.
The first instalment of the new demand Treas
ury notes has been sent to Washington. They
are there to receive die or seal before trimming;
then they will be issned at the rate Of million
dollars per day.
The IS. los and 20s are from the same plate
(sllghtly altered) as the former issue of demand
notes. The SOS and zoos engraved bv the
National Bank Note Company The prominent
vignette on the Sos is a new portrait of Alexan-
der Hamilton, placed little to the left of the
center of the note. The zoos have spread eagle
on the left end The 500s and .000s are en-
graved by the american Bank Note Company.
The notes of all denominations have engraved
backs Of cycloid work, in which are the words
"lega. tender"
On Monday, Mr.. Chase sold three millions of
Z $40 Treasury note bonds to our banks and
brokers at par This establishes the rate Of that
class of Federal securities at l00al0011, past in
terest going to the seller.
The banks, since the passage of the acts ma
king demand notes a legal tender, are active in
issuing their currency. The Government does
not propose to redeem the demand Treasury notes
except in exchange for per cent stock. which
is payable at its option anv time after Eve years;
and the banks redeem only in these demand
notes. 1t is quite plain that currency, alias cir
culation, alias money, of both Treasury and
bank issues. Is to be abundant. more abundant,
most abundant.
The more dubious the future, the moro curren-
cy will the Government issue. The expansive
power of this paper money balloon has safety
valve in the privilege of funding the Govern
ment currency into the stock above referred to.
There is no stopping point short of that.
It Is perfectly plain, then, that U. s. 6 per
cent, stock, redeemable at the option of the Gov
ernmcnt after five years, is the standard of all
values.

slavery in the District.

Senator WRIeHr's bill abolishing slavery in the
District of Columbia is copied from that proposed
by Mr.. LINCOLN, when member of Congress.
In substance it is as follows:
Section provides that no person not now with
in the District, nor now owned by residents, nor
hereafter born within it, shall be held in slavery
within it.
Section 2 provides that no person now within
the District, or owned by residents, or hereafter
born within it, shall ever be held in slavery out
side its limits: Procided hosceoer,, that officers of
the Government coming into the District on pub
lie business. and remaining only so long may
be necessary for that object may be attended into
and out of the District and while there. by the
necessary servants of themselves and their tam-
lies. without their right to hold such servants in
service being impaired.
Section provides that all children born oi
slave mothers within the District, after a day to
be named in the present year shall be free; but
shall be reasonably supported and educated by
their mothers owners, and shall serve as ap-
prentices to such owners reasonable service
until twenty-one years of age. when they shall be
entirely free. The municipal authorities ol
Washington and Georgetown are charged with
enforcing obedience to this section.
Section provides that all persons now held as
slaves within the District. or owned by residents
here, shall remain as SUCH But the owners may
receive from the treasury at any time their full
value, to be determined by a board consisting OF
the President and the Secretaries of State and
the Treasury, and shall thereupon free them.
Section 5. The municipal authorities of Wash
ington and Georgetown required to provide
active and efficient means for arresting and de
livering up fugitive slaves that may escape into
the District.
Section s provides for submission of the peo
pie Of the District of this act, which shall no
take effect until the President shall issue proc
lamation announcing that majority Of the voters
approve it at the polls.

The Milwaukee
remarks:

The Milwaukee Neos, in discussing this topic,
remarks:
But sectionalism now exists not as a necessary
result of any conditions upon which the Union
was formed. but as the fruit of vicious popular
sentiment and we are asked, what is the remedy?
The remedy in this case is the same in all other
cases under our Government, when the people have
been alienated from the right by false teachers.
The people voluntarily, though perhaps uncon-
sciousy, brought upon themselves the evil of
sectionalism Voluntarily and consciously
they may Danish that evil. Let them turn
sectionalists out of Congress and out of
the Legislature, and sectionalism is gone.
Let them defeat the Republican party at
the North and the fre-eaters at the South, and
sectionalism dies. Let them refuse to support
sectional newspapers, and sectionalism will have
noadvocates. Let them restore to power the
men who stand, as Washington did, upon the
platform rms of the Constitution, and sectionasm is
banished.' Many of the very men live who have
administered the Government without sectional
ism-follow their example. and we shall have
peace now as we had peace then. This would be
remedy sufficient. and it is the only remedy. If
the people will not do this, there is no remedy
anywhere, and the Government is dissolved.

Pork Packinglnt the West.

We expected to have been able to publish our
usual annual report of pork packing before this,
but packing is still going on at Cleveland, Toledo
and Chicago, and we will not, therefore publish
it until we can do so fully and finally. We know
enoughfnow, however, to say positively that the
increase in number in the West will fall little
short of 100000 hogs, exclusive of the increase
in weight, which viii be four to six per cent. net
greater than the latter figure There is also a
great increase in the number shipped to the east
ern markets during the season. and if we add this
and he increase in weight to the half million in
crease in number, it will show total increase of
close on to 100000 head. We expect to have
the comparative shipments by all the routes to
the east, to publish with our annual report.-Cin-

sR We copy the following items from the
Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commercial:
ARMY OF THE PoToMAc.-It is a wretched bore
to dance attendance on the sluggish army of the
Potomac. The whole country knows that it is
moving Yet the newspapers have scarcely dared
breathe a whisper of its destination This is
well enough yet it moves at such a killing pace.
But it is a mighty machine-too monstrous, very
many think, for one brain to direct. The world
never produced but one mind which proved ca
pable to manage such prodigious masses. One
hundred thousand, two hundred thousand; yea
more, vastly more Do not question: say more,
more than two hundred thousand. And such
men of such stamina, with such intelligence, such
soul, such drill and discipline. such accouterments
and equipments. The world never their
equals. There is no Americanism in this. as
trans Atlantic folk may sneer. We have the tes-
timony of the most enlightened foreigners, that
modern Europe is unable to make such display.
History teaches that the world never has. There
mas been greater numbers organized, but no other
army Of such material and equipments II is the
hope of the nation. What wonder, then, that
there should be deep solicitude about the mind
which directs it. Yet when we contemplate it
there docs not seem possibility that it can fail.
However, it is moving, more slowly, it is true,
than we think it ought. When it is moved expla-
nations may he made.
BRIGADIERs.-The immensity of the army of
the United States may be computed upon basis
of the Brigadiers appointed. Last summer we
thought hundred was enough. Many more
have been appointed, yet there are not enough
yet. Indeed, this is fact. Yesterday some new
ones were appointed, and among them the gal
liant George L. Hartsuff of Gen. Rosecran's staff.
do not exaggerate in pronouncing him splen-
did soldier. He has brains and character for any
military responsibility that may devolve on him.
None will doubt the propriety of the promotion
of the brilliant Col Geary. His distinguished
services entitled him to promotion. | under
stand the President will appoint six more Briga-
diers from Indiana. 1t is to be regretted that
Morris and Reynolds will not re enter the service.
We can hardly spare them. The selection of the
six is left to the Indiana Congressional delega-
ton. There are twenty applicants, some of whom
are worthy. Among those prominently mentioned
are Col. Meredith, Col Kimball, Col. Wagner,
Col. Sullivan and Col. Benton all of whom have
acquitted themselves handsomely in action

Sullivan in Western Virginia, and Benton both

The New Constitution for the State of
IIIinafG

That the reader may see how grouudless are
the objections raised to the result OF the labors
of the Illinois State Constitutional Convention
which closed its session at Springfield this pres
ent week, we propose to set forth as briefly as
possible few of the prominent improvements
made upon the present Constitution of that State.
Having been an officer of that Convention the
writer hereof knows that the following provisions
are embodied in the new instrument which will
be submitted to the people of Illinois for their
adoption or rejection on the 18th of June next.
Members of the General Assembly have been
IN the habit of voting themselves perquisites in
the shape of postage stamps, knives, pencils,
newspapers, &C., to three times the amount of
their salary; but this great abuse is entirely cut
off by the new Constitution.
Special legislation by the General Assembly in
future is positively prohibited; and this Que
clause alone, il is estimated, will more
money to the State than all the necessary cur
rent expenses ofthe State Government from year
to year.
The judiciary system has been remodeled in
such a way that, while it will be more efficient
than the present one. there will be an actual
saving of about one half the expenses to the peo-
pie of the State.
The property of corporations is made to come
under the same rules of law private property;
thus preventing these soulless bodies from de-
frauding the poor laborer out of his honest dues.
Municipal corporations are prohibited from sub
scribing stock or loaning their credit to chartered
companies
The new Constitution does away with the two
mill tax, which that people have had to pay for
the past fourteen years.
Provisions are made for securing to each family
homestead free from sale on process of law ex
cept for taxes or debts due for Improvements
thereon, and to secure more fully the rights of
married women.
Commissioners are already appointed to can
vass the votes of the $4,000 Illinois soldiers in
the field for OF against the adoption of the new
Constitution.
1t ltsubmits to separate vote the provisions that
the negro shall not come into or SETTLE vote or
hold Office in the State; that bank bills shall not
be circulated in the State after the year 1866 and
the distrcting of the State into fourteen Con-
gressional districts. giving to each party seven
members of Congress.-South Bend Forum.

Il Some Of contemporaries are republishing
an abolition or semi-abolition letter purportpg to
be written by Gov. Sprauge, Of Rhode Island.
1t is hardly Decessary 70 say that the letter is
falsely imputed to Gov. Sprague. Neither the
letter nor the doctrine it expresses is his.
Gov. Sprague's views and sentiments concern
ing the war remain unchanged. "For myself"
he said in his recent letter TO the New England
Dinner Committee. II do most heartily disavow
any other wish than that of bringing togeth-
er these now belligerent States, without the loss
TO any one of them of q single right or privilege
which 1t has heretofore enjoyed" And by this
statesmanlike and patriotic declaration he abides.
