Extravagance and Taxataon.

Manv of the most influential OF the news

ing against the extravaganza and reckless
prodieality which lie everywhere rife. Econ

lessness never before knswn in or country.
In view of this fact, the New York Wor'd
eudeavors TO ascertain the cause Of oil this
extfayagance and thinks it is 30 be dlscov'
ed in the imitation of our natiln currency
and its rapid depreciation below the stan
dard of coin. It argues that if, instead OF
flooding the untry with treasury notes OF
doubtful legality and in such quantity as to
cause serious apprehension Of the impossi-
bility of their redemption, Congress had,
in the beginning, resorted to heavy taxa
ton and preserved the specie basis for all
values, the prodigality of which we COM
plain would never have occurred and the
miseries Of national bankruptcy would
would never have threatened us. But the
fact that our money is everyday losing its
value, that the twenty-five cents which
would buy pound Of butter one year ago'
will only buy half pound now aud the
same is true, in greater or lesserproportion,
of oil other articles of trade, has tenden
cy to lead men to spend their money while
il will purchase most. The World says /:
II the amount Of gold 10 . dollar is rapidly
melting away and disappearing, like lump

dence and frugality- to spend it while its
purchasing power is at the greatest. New

great deal more than formerly; but we'll

ton ceases under the rapacious Mshamme-
dan governments of the East, economy is
extipguished by = government that bloats
and debases the currency. For the same
reason that men will not work when the
chances are more than even that another

not save when the chances are more than
even that money will melt away to nothing

SoxE PLAIN FAcrs.-Three years ago the
rebels held firm possession OF all Eastern Vir
ginia, and dogsedly disputed the supremacy
In West Virginia. They held unlimited
sway over every foot Of North and South
Carolina, of Georgia and Alabama, of Flor
ida, except fort at the mouth Of Pensacola
harbor they held all Of Mississippi, LOUISE
ana, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee, and
had complete control over the Mississippi riv-
or, from the mouth Of tho Ohio to the Gulf.
They stubbornly disputed the possession Of
Kentucky. and Missouri; they threatened
Maryland, and besiegod tho capital OF the
nation.
Who, in view of these facts, can doubt the
power Of the nation to subdue the rebellionf
lit Is already moro than half subdued. II
has lost nearly half its territory and quite
half its resources. It has lost continually.
It's successes on the battlefield have never
yet stayed its retreatiug terminus; while It's
defeats have been followed Immediately by
the abandonment Of whole States or large
districts. In 81 it lost Maryland and West
Virginia. In '62 Il lost Kentucky, Missouri,
parts Of North and South Carolina. East Vir-
ginia. Nashville, New Orleans, and Memphis.
In '63 1t lost Middle and West Tennessee,
Arkansas, North Mississippi, and Vicksburg,
with the Great Father Of Waters itself. In
"a IL has lost ito last hold upon East Ten
nessee, and North Georgia, and North Ala
bama; and General Grant has driven Leo TO
tho gates Of Richmond, after worsting hin
in series Of great battles. In word, the
rebellion is dying Of agslloping consumption.

The CELEBRATED BuoxIxY's MixsrlxrS ylon

RIoHrs OF GovxxSxESr IN WAR.-It may
safely DO add that a. q people We have passed
that weakly and sentimental state wherein IL
was considered the duty Of our armies to
guard the property Of traitors, or. in other
words, to carry on war on civil rather than
q military basis. We have argued from the
first that traitors had no rights which the
Government was bound to respect, cave those
belonging to civilized warfare, and that this
war could not DO prosecuted to successful
conclusion until that policy was adopted.
The first two years Of the war were spent in
trying to subduo the rebellion with wooden
guns, lest the feelings Of our southern breth-
rem" should be injured. How far such q
course has succeeded is written down by tho
historian. That those two years have been
comparative failure while trying to prose-
cute the war according to conservative
McClellan.Buell policy, no ono denies. The
authorities, having tried conciliatory words,
like the fable, have commenced throwing
stones. We are reminded Of this by letter
recently published, written by Gen. sherman
to his adjutant in answer to questions as to
how the people Of tho rebel States should DO
treated. The General says:
The Government of the United States has
in North Alabama any and all rights which
they choose TO enforce in war, to take their
lives, their homes, their lands, their every,
thing, because, they cannot deny that war
does exist there, and war is simply power un-
restrained by constitution or compact. If
they want eternal war, well and good-we
will accept the issue, and dispossess them and
put our friends in possession. know thou
sands and millions Of good people who, at
simple notice, would come to North Alabama
and accept the elegant houses and plantations
now there. If the people Of Huntsville
think differently, let them persist in war
three years longer, and then they will not be
consulted. Three years ago, by little re-
Election and patience, they could have had q
hundred years OF peace and prosperity, but
they preferred war !; very well, last year they
could have saved their slaves, but now II Is
too late-all the powers of earth cannot re-
store to them their slaves any more than their
dead grandfathers. Next year their lands
will be taken, for in war we can take them,
and rightiully, too, and in another year they
may beg in vain for their lives. A people
who will persevere in war beyond certain
limit, ought to know the consequences.
Many, many people, rith no less periinaei.
ty than the South, haue been wiped out Of na-
Honal existence.

Capital from Concord to Manchester. It has
become necessary to enlarge the State House,

The subject is now before the Legislature.
The present State House was built in 1919,
