THE COUNTERFEIT UNITED STATES SECURITIES
STORY.
The Treasury Department is in receipt of Off
cia advces from Consuls at Berlin and Frankfort
stating the circumstances under which the rumor got
into circulation of there being counterfeit United States
bonds upon the European market. 1t that in adj
dton to the usual public stocks the German market
there was Prussan loan being put off by the
bdnkcrs-or rather strenuous efforts making TO
shove it upon the market but much greater was the
popularity Of the United States bonds that nothing
could be done in home stocks and the circulars issued
with the nsnuatiOn that there fraudulent bonds
in circulation was n mere brokers' dodge TO aid the
sale of home securities. The imposition was imme-
datey exposed, and had not the slightest influence
upon the sale or market value OF bonds. There
now held in Germany alone above $500 100000 of our
Fivetwenty bonds and so large balance has this
enormous demand for securities given US in
gold exchange that. for weeks past, exchange
has been onehaf per cent in our favor. The United
States $50 loan is admitted to be the mos. popular Of
all other loans upon the European markets Large
orders are constantly made upon the Lemon Paris and
London bankers FOR them, from Norway, Sweden and
Russia The jealousy which this condition Of the mar
ket naturally excites added to the growing apprehen-
sion Of English nanciers that the drain OF gold VIII
inevitably turn toward the United States in such guam
titles as to seriously disturb their own monetary sys
TENS fully accounts Tor all the unfayorabc criticisms
of the European press upon American securities 1t is
source Of qualification to our Government that those
European capitalists who had faith in our cause in the
darker days -four struggle have lived to see the secu
rites they purchased freely at As rise in the London
market to G-netting them profit on their earlier In
vestmonts Of nearly so per cent.

| Most heartily do we congratulate the Conn
try and the Government on the opening to tn
public last Saturday OF the Military Tribuna
which is engaged in trying the persons impli
Gated in the murder ofPresdent Lincoln and thu
attempt to murder Secretary Seward. Hence
forth, we presume, all the testimony submitted
to this court will be taken in public, with Tho
usual liberty to report and print it.
Is there one human being who does not hnou
that the Government is stronger for this defer
ence not less TO Public Justice than to Public
Opinionl If there be threads Of conspiracy
which it is expedent to trace without giving
notice to those they may implicate, let a Grand
Jury be impaneled to follow them. 1t would
have been a grand, q sublime spectacle for the
civilized world, if this entire tragedy, with the
conspiracy which prompted it. had been treated
precisely like any other conspiracy and murder.
One law in the case alike for the highest and the
humblest is the moral that We would have had
our Government illustrate and enforce on this
occasion. Since that was not to be, we rejoice
that everything is to be done aboveboard and
under the gaze Of the civilized world. Now il
the testimony is found to implicate jeff. Davis
or any of his satellites, there can be nopretense
that it was obtained, no one knows whence, and
cooked up for publication, no one knows how.
The Executive has more than half corrected the
mistake of having the trial Of these cOnspiratOrS
and assassins in any manner exceptional. And
we feel confident that this will be the last Mill.
tary arraignment ofpersons wholly unconnected
with the Military service.
To those who fancy that VIC, who have remOn.
strated against the original mistake would have
evinced truer devotion to the Government by
defending it, we commend a thoughtful perusal
of the memorable closing words of Hugh S.
Legare's speech in Congress against the Sub
Treasury project-as follows:
"Ihave spoken what felt and thought without refer
ence to party But will say word TO those with
whom have generally acted on this floor. have
heard that some of them dsapprove this measure. but
are disposed vote for it to oblige their friends Sir
this is strange and great mistake true friend onSh
10 be faithful cOrnseoy. Let them remember the deeI
reproach which the great poet puts In the mouth Of
Of his heroes:
'Hsdst thou but shook thy bead. or made pause.
When spoke dsrkly what purpostd,
Or termed an eye Of doubt upon my FACET

JEFFERSON DAVIS is a prisoner Of the Gov
eminent. lie surrendered under no captula-
ton but his own, which-he being isolated,
disguised in one of his wife's dresses, and
directly within range of several troopers re-
volyers-was too sudden to be otherwise than
unconditional. Being prisoner, we trust that
he will be treated as prisoner, under the pro-
lection of the dignity and honor Of self
respecting people.
As we are officially assured that he is proved
to be inculpated in the plot which eliminated
in the murder of President Lincoln, we trust he
is to be indicted, arraigned and tried for that
horrid crime against our country and every part
of it. We hope he may have fair, open,
searching trial, like any other maleiactor, and,
if convicted, we trust he will be treated just like
any other. We have no faith in killing men in
cold blood, or in hot blood either, unless when
las in battle) they obstinately refuse to get out
of the way; but we neither expect nor desire
that the execution or non-executon of the laws
shall depend on their accordance or disagree
ment with our convictions Of sound policy.
