covcr every contingency. II will, even then,
DO less than one-tentI OF tho aggregate value of
tho private property in the country. Or csti-
mate, based on the facts embodied in the Census
of 1860, makes that aggregate Thirty Millions OF
Dollars, whereof the Debt aforesaid would be
one.fhcenth. On this Debt, we shall be required
10 pay about One Hundred Millions per annum
rs interest, which is less than one-tntntieh of
the annual product OF our National Industry.
Seymour and other Copperheads in our late
political canvass, and mark the difference! A
single tax OF fifty cents per gallon on the
Wines and Distilled Liquors consumed by our
people would pay half of this interest, and the
country be no whit the poorer for it.
Gov. Chase is disappointed that the Internal
Revenue or Direct Taxes yielded less than
Forty Million during the fiscal year which
closed with last june. We think that the ex-
planation Of the deficiency is to DO found in
the Hardness or dishonesty whcrcwith too
many made returns Of their Income and
other taxes. In fact the Treasury Report
itself SLOWS tbat the income from this source
during the frs. quarter of tho present fiscal
year-that ending with September last-was
over Seventeen Millions and Hall, or at the
rate OF Seventy Millions per annum. Our peo-
pie had not fairly acquired he habit Of paying
internal Taxes during tho last fiscal year, and
We apprebend that large quantities OF Liquors
Tobacco and other manufactures, cOntnycd to
dodge the Excise altogether. At all events,
vast amounts had been produced before, and
were on hand when the Act took
effect; and these were not taxed by it, as they
should have been. We shall improve upon this
year by year. until there will ultimately be no
stocks on hand that were produced before the
impost was laid and no unprincipled cunning
subtle enough to eysde the taH-gatherer. Mean
time, we trust Tie additions called for by Secre-
tsry Chase will be promptly voted.
Our space for to-day is exhausted, but We
shall probably have more To say Of this lucid
and admirable Report.

mark of our Washington correspondent that Mr.
Lincoln is judged at Washington very likely 10

canvass, as if that afforded clue to tho ultl'

of reconstruction. Nothing could be more un'
just. Mr.. Lincoln may or may not be candi-

tied in due season: but his plan OF reconstruc-
ton has no designed or necessary connection
