We have but little change to note in business
transactions since our last Merchandise of all
descriptions continue to arrive freely from the
city, but finds little or no sale. We have noticed
during the past few days number of country
merchants in town, but they don't seem to be
doing anything more than feeling the market
Those whom we have conversed with do not
feel disposed to purchase until the purposes of
the government are more fully developed, and
the restriction on cotton removed.

The ARRIVAL of the freedmen's bureau will
have the effect to put stop to some pernicious
transactions, which have come to our notice-that
of enticing colored persons to break their con
tracts by promising them increased wages. This
has been done in a number of instances, and that
too, where specified prices had eenagreed upon
and only awaited the arrival of the superinten-
dent to have them ratified.

The following is taken from the Quid Nunc,
2lst inst We learn that the federals have &C.
cupied Marshall, and that small force has gone
to Tyler. As yet we have heard of no early
prospect for these parts to be blessed with
small garrison to keep order, and to collect up
Confederate property. Down here, we are as
tame and submissive as drowned rats, and are
ready to place our heads in the federal yoke at
any time. Earnestly, we heartily wish the gar
rison for Crockett will soon arrive, if we are to
have one at "all. If they will re-establsh law
and order, and Gen. Heron says it would be
ungenerous to do less, then we would heartily
welcome them. Our citizens are anxious that
law and order be re-established as early as pos
sible. Our own town and community are at
present quiet, but still we feel the effects of
having no law.

National Debt.

NdGtOud4 OCUb.
Can the national debt be paid, is problem
which the south has as much interest in solving
as the north. The New York Herald has some
estimates of the debt, income and expenses
which look to us something like guess work, in
voying as they do such vast sums of money fol
so long a time ahead, but they are nevertheless
interesting. The debt is already over two thou
sand six hundred millions, and it is thought that
in settling up the war expenses it will reach three
thousand millions, with an annual interest OF one
hundred and fifty millions in gold and currency.
The Herald by its estimates shows that this debt
can be reduced to three hundred millions by
the year 1880, based upon customs and internal
taxes. The Herald commences its estimates from
july Ist, 1866. The income for that year is
placed at three hundred and eighty-seVen millions
as follows. internal taxes $275 0000 600; customs,
$50 900 600; lands 81, 900, 600: miscellaneous
sources including sale of war material $50, 000,-
600. Expenses for the same year are estimated
in round numbers at $300,000,000, leaving a
balance of $87, 900, 900 to be applied in payment
of the public debt.
The Cincinnati Gazette in commenting upon
these figures does not place much reliance in
them, but is strongly of the opinion that the
interest can be paid, and the debt steadily re-
duced, without breaking the backs of the people.
thorough revision Of the tariff bill is earnestly
advocated, as the necessities Of revenue have
superseded the protection policy. The Gazette
argues in this way:
Making due allowance for the internal taxes
upon American manufactures the duties should
be adjusted so as to give them reasonable ad-
vantage, but not SO as to prohibit importations
and give them monopoly. Assuming that
almost all articles of real necessity are produced
in this country, the rate Of duty should rise upon
or other goods in proportion to
their luxury 1t is a necessity that everything
should be made to pay something. In former
times our tariff has been adjusted upon the oppo
site system, to-wit; high duties on goods that
came in competition with our fabrics, and low
duties on others. That system still prevails, to
great extent, in our tariff; Or, if the duties on
non-competing fabrics has been raised, the duties
on the competing ones are still kept at pro-
hibitory point. Thus the government gets no
revenue from those articles, and the people are
subject to a monopoly.
The country cannot afford to raise great
revenue by stimulating imports by low duties.
The drain would produce regular financial col
lapses, and during these reaction the revenue
would lose as much as it gained by the food tide
of importations With tariff carefully adjusted
50 as to give our manufacturers a reasonable ad-
vantage without monopoly, and so as to draw
some revenue from every kind of goods, and
with a scale rising in proportion to the super
duity Of the article, we may secure the needed
revenue without destroying our manufactures, or
5ubjecting our trade and currency to periodical

PRESIDENT JOHNSON Below We give
the conclusion Of some remarks made in
the Senate in the debate March I'd, 1861.
on the report Of the peace conference. by
Senator, now President Johnson:
"Mr. President: was going to remark
in reference to = general allusion to trea-
con thatif individuals were pointed out to
me who were engaged in nightly conspira-
cies, in secret conclaves, and issuing orders
directing the capture of our forts, and the
taking Of our forts, and the taking OF our
custom houses, would show who were the
traitors; and that being done, the persons
pointed out to me as coming within the
purview and scope Of the provision OF the
Constitution which l have read. were l the
President of the United States, would do
as Thomas Jefferson did with Aaron Burr
in 1906; would have them arrested and
If convicted. within the meaning and scope
OF the Constitution, by the Eternal God.
would execute them. Sir, treason must
he punished. Its enormity and the extent
and depth Of the offence musts he made
known. The time is not far distant, if
this Government is preserved, its Consti-
tuition obeyed. and its laws executed in
every department, when something of this
kind must be done.''

SECOND TRAVERSE JURY.
Forcman-L. Il. Ulmer.
The Status of Lees Surren-
dered Army.

The condition Of General Lees sur
rendered soldiers, seems to have been
kindly considered by General Grant and
President Lincoln, before capi;ulation.
THE Evening Post in discussing the mat
ter gives thesfollowing as the status of the
surrendered soldiers
The surrender of Johnston will put an
end to the war, because it will leave no
enemy i'll the field. Sherman offered
Johnston the same terms which Lee ac-
ceptcd. Those terms send the southern
soldiers back to their homes in peace,
there to resume their former industries,
and live in obedience to the laws. They
are, formally, prisoners of war on parole
and this Tact ensures them personal safety
and the treatment due to captured soldiers.
On the other hand, it is clear that they
cannot resume their rights as citizens un-
til they have taken the oath Of allegiance
to the government against which they
have been fighting, and towards which
they have placed themselves, however un-
willingly or mistakenly, i'll the attitude of
aliens.
When they take this oath they become
citizens again; and tn terms of surrender
devised by Mr. Lincolh&nd General Grant
i'll Kindness to the southern people, stop
all civil proceedings against them for trca-
son hereafter. 1t is another evidence of
Mr. L'ncoln's kindness OF heart. that he
planned, in conjunction with the Lieuten-
ant General. a mode of surrender for the
rebel armies. which would make the in
dividuals Of that force perfectly safe i'll
their persons and property. so long as
they adhere to the terms of their parole.
But it is evident that only the armies If
the rebellion are thus shielded. The ring
leaders are not i'll the army :; Davis and
Hunter, and Benjamin and Leteher, and
Brown, and the hundred or two others who
originated the rebellion, and in whose
hands the soldiers were only tools-thesc
wretches are excepted from this general
amnesty which Mr. Lincoln prepared, and
which was his last important work. And
these wicked men must leave the country
as flsi:iyes from justice--or else. if they
full into our hands, they must be tried and
punished.
