The Treasury $40 notes already issued by
our government during the war sell at
par. They were deprecated 2H per cent
by the ridiculous rumors that Mr..
Chase was paying them to contractors. If
any were paid that way the amount did
not reach $4,000. But when it is known
that the interest will be paid for the new bonds
in coin, there is no reason that the demand
notes based upon them should 60 below par.
And when the war is terminated all United
States stocks will rise to their former high fyure
for all the capitalists Of Europe will eagerly
purchase them, as the safest and most profitable
Investment in the world None will desire the
American government to redeem its bonds; for
if any holder wishes to part with what he owns
he will have no difficulty in getting gold for
them in the market, so good will be the credit
of the government, and so secure the invest
ment, resting, as it does, upon the faith Of the

for, although we have closed one harbor,
we have opened another and much

has done what we should never have done

fewer than hundred and twenty-five lights On

may result in the destruction of the lives Of

amount of wanton mischief. Charleston, it is
well known, has been the ho!bed Of rebellion
for thirty years, and in closing that one harbor
by the sinking of vessels, we have not acted
contrary to precedent.
In 1927 the French blockaded the harbor OF
Rochelle by dyke, the remains of which are
still visible at low water, and the British block
AIDED the harbor Of Boulogne in the very same
manner that we have blockaded Charleston.
Moreover, blockadcs Of this description are
removable in the same way as sandbars-by
dredging-so that If ever it becomes desirable
to reopen Charleston harbor It can be done.
It is therefore perfectly gratuitous on the part
Of the foreign press to view with horror our
attempt, as it is called, to deprive future gene-
rations of the blessings which nature has de-
signed for them in the shape of harbors. II is'
further, unjust to say that such proceedings are
acts of war against the whole human race, and

Treasury notes to be now or hereafter Issued
say $650,000,O00 to July next, and pledging
$39, 100000 of the new taxes to pay the
half yearly interest of six per cent, and
$32,5O0,000 as sinking fund to redeem the
principal in twenty years-being less than
$72,00O,0 900 in all.
Thus, then, less Than half the $l50,0OO, 900 tax
will suffice to amply secure and redeem ma
tional debt of $65O.OOO,OOO; and if it were
necessary to pay of that amount in ten years,
an annual tax of $l5O,O00,OO0 would be suffi-
cient for the purpose. But supposing the war
debt on July l, 1863, should amount to twelve
hundred millions (sl,2OO, 900, ,OOO), the annual
interest at G per cent would be only $4,000,
600, and the annual sum necessary for the sink
ing fund would be 100000 ,00O-in all $132,
100000. Now this is only about one-third the
annual taxation of Great Britain; and who will
pretend that the United States cannot bear
taxation better than the British empire? The
relative stability of our government and its
resources may be estimated by comparing the
prices of its securities in time of peace with
those of the principal nations of Europe. Uni

shortly to be brought before Congress for the
reduction Of the pay of the army is a measure
which we do not hesitate to say is exceedingly
i'll advised at the present time. 1t is true that
the government ought to study economy as far
as possible, without injury to the public ser
vice. But we have come to the conclusion tha.
to reduce the pay of the army would be to i'm
pair its efficiency to some extent, by creating
dissatisfaction among the officers themselves
and increasing the embarrassments of their
families. If retrenchment in the government
expenditure is needed--and we think IL is-let il
be made in the'pay of the persons holding civil
appointments throughout the country. The
army is only temporary expense, and when
this war is over II will be disbanded as rapidly
as it was created. 1t is now engaged in a strug
gle upon which the very integrity Of the Union
depends, and we ought re- 10 begrudge the
money we pay for the services Of our gallant
defenders. We consequently trust that the bill
will be defeated.
