A BLOW AT GOLD sPEcULAroRs.

On Tuesday, the House, by vote of sixty
four against thirty-three, concurred in the
senate's amendment to the Tax bill, imposing
a tax upon transactions In gold and silver.
Tho fourth section, as amended, provides as
follows:
"AIl contracts for the purchase or sale Of
gold and silver, coin or bullion, secured by
pledge or deposit, or other disposition of gold
or silver coin Of the United States IL to be per-
formed afteT period exceeding three days,
shall be In writing or printed, and signed by
the parties, or their agents or attorneys, and
shall have one or more adhesive stamps, as
provided in the act TO which this is an amend
ment, equal In amount to one-half of one per
Centum, and interest at the rate of six per
Centum per annum on the amount so loaned,
pledged or deposited; and II any such loan,
pledge or deposit, made for period not ex.
ceeding three days, shall be renewed or in any
way extended, for any time whatever, said loan,
pledge or deposit shall be subject to the duty
imposed on loans exceeding three days; and nc
loan Of currency or money on the security ot
gold or silver coin of the United States az
aforesaid, shall be made exceeding in amount
the par value Of the coin pledged or deposited
as security; and any loan so made, or attempted
10 be made, Ehall bo utterly void"
The speculation In gold, says the New York
EeeHiHg Post, is thus reduced within the limits
of a regular mercantile transaction, and its ex.
travsgant inastjon will necessarily subside
From the beginning, the gold speculation, con,
fined to few dozens Of Shylocks, has given Q
wholly fictitious value to tho specie currency
and has in no way represented the true condi
tion of the money market. 1t has disturbed
course Of trade, appreciated prices, and enriched
few dealers at the expense of the whole com
munity. Nor have its evils stopped here; fol
the rapid rise in the price Of gold has created
in Europe false and injurious impression O
the degree Of the depreciation of Government
currency, and the croakers at home have gladly
echoed the tory cry Of imminent bankruptcy
and ultimate repudiation. All these cause
have produced most mischievous effects.
Tho legislation Of Congress, making thes
sPeculations, If still carried on, contribute I,
the receipts of tho Treasury, and reducing
transactions in gold to the level Of ordlnar,
business operations, liable to taxation undel
the regulations of the Internal revenue act, re-
moves a fruitful source Of financial and com
merCial embarrassment. Its immediate result
willprobably affect the current speculation un
favurably, while the restoration of true value
will tend, in time, TO restore the balance whcl
has been oyerthrOwn by a long course OF OK
trayagant and needless imitation.

The Power conndsd to Mr.. Chase,

On this subject the New York Evening Post Of
yesterday says:
The immense power conflded to the hands OF
Mr.. Chase by the new finance bill is eliciting
comment In certain quarters, as If. any great
engine, whether financial, military, or mechan-
ical. could work without power being entrusted
TO the chief engineer. The objections, however,
though partly real, are chiefly imaginary. For,
first, the force of the new financial machinery
which has been celebrating during several
months, and, by the combined efforts.
and unwearied toll Of the most conservative
statesmen, experienced bankers, and fnan-
cial authorities in the country, has been
perfected and matured, will be found to
possess an amount Of efficiency which will sur
prise some Of its opponentsi and secondly, the
power inevitably lodged in the hands Of the
chief financial officer Of the Government is, by
Mr.. Chase's arrangements, placed under sitr-
VsRidHoe. Power is not TO be dreaded in ad-
ministrative officers, except when secret, IRE
sponsible or arbitrary. Now, Mr.. Chase's op-
cratiOnB under the new finance law will be at
tended with such publicity and responsibility,
and will be so clearly defined, that the public
credit and the public confidence will repOse on
a stable and sure foundation.
The market opened firm on Governments,
and closed well on the best class of speculative
stocks.

BgItiah Fleet Gathering In Hampton
Rosds--InsuIts OF the AngiO-RebeIs.
FORTRESS MONROE, March 3, 4

FoRTREss MONROE, March 8, 1868.
A British heet Is gradually gathering in
Hampton Roads. The Vesuvfus and Petrol
have been in the hurbor the past week, and last
night the English sloop-of-wsr Desperate ar
rived here from Charleston, and will probably
remain for some time. The collection OF this
fleet Of Anglo Rebels evidently means some
thing. The rebels have had another vision of
the millennium, as they console themselves with
the idea that on or about the Sth of March
Norfolk Is again to fall into their hands. How
this thing Is TO be accomplished has not tran
spired; but may not the British men-of-war now
in these Roads be in the secret Of the rebel plot
TO recapture Norfolk city, and to this fact in
tend to be witnessosl
That the sympathies OF these Britishers is
with the South, Is a transparent fact. II Is only
three or four days ago that the Petrel arrived
here from Charleston, via Havana. The ship
had scarcely come to an anchor before the
whole crew mustered on deck and sang frst
the National air Of Great Britain, aud imn,o-
dlatcly after Dlxey's Land" with a new YER
sion for the South of "We will defend her. -
This was done while laying of distance OF
about two hundredS yards from the fort, and
about ffty yards of the blockading steamer
Mystic. This hagrant insult TO our 1ag by the
| tory Englshmen, will lead TO great trouble,
while their vessels remain stationed In this har.
Dor, and 1t Is only by dlnt OF great exertion on
the part Of the officers that difficulties arc pre-
vented between our men and the English sailors
when they come on shore.
Such action, however, speak volumes for the
honor and chlvalry Of "RuIe Britannia" In
the face of the Queens neutrality proclamation
the English navy openly profess their sympa.
thy with the rebels, while they stay in our har.
bors and enjoy the privileges Of true American
! hospitality. While within the Union lines
they spy out all they can of our movements
and as soon as they get within rebel hail, they
freely communicate all they know Of us. 1t il
high time that our Government took some step
to lay this matter before the British Ministc
for his interference. If the officers and crew o
4 the Petrol persist in their insulting manner b,
humming rebel airs, and their taunting sneor
at our army and navy, the result may be blood
shed, for which no one but themselves may b
blamed. An outraged people will surely wreal
fearful vengeance ON the heads Of these for
eign misCTeants.
