Peace and the National Finances.

Peace and the National Finances.
Now that the war is practically. ended,
and we look back upon the vast expendi-
ture of money as we'll as life which it has
involved, we fnd it difficult to over.es,imate
the good effects Of peace upon our 'uations
finances. 1t is at the same time gratifying
and encouraging to find the Government
prompt to profit by the opportunity of re-
ducing its current expenses by the reduc-
tons which have been ordered in the mill.
tary and naval service.
Our four years struggle with rebellion
has already left US saddled with registered
debt Of more than twenty five hundred
millions of dollars, and before reconstruc-
tion is accomplished the total will probably
be three thousand millions. How to
manage this debt and provide for the pay
ment OF the interest with as little incon-
venience as possible, or, in other words.
how to raise the maximum of taxation
with the minimum of expense and burden,
someness will be the great question which
will absorb the attention of Congress for a
long time to come, and be likely in the
end to influence important political changes.
Political economy is still young as science
our Legislators had not made much progress
in it. Our fiscal legislation was, therefore,
crude and laundering, and this added need
lessly to our debt by the subtle process of
depreciating the currency. A well devised
scheme of taxation is Of vital importance
to the credit of nation at war or bur
deued with large national debt; yet our
present tax bill and tariff are tissue of
absurditie'. Congress has thus far merely
tinkered with taxation; but, in the future,
we may reasonably hope to profit by the
costly lessons of experience and DO better.
Every taxpayer in the country will
hence!orward be interested in the fiscal ad-
> ministrasion of the country, and something
better than complex internal revenue bill,
which yields, at an enormous cost for col.
lection, less than two hundred millions
year, and tariff which, in many cases, is
proaibtory, or nearly SO. will be required

THE PAROLE OF THE REBEL TROOPS OF THE

Colonel Emo, of the Twelfth Pennsyl-

returned to this point yesterday, from New

troops of the late rebel commands of Gene

fused to accede to the surrender of Lee, has
taken his corpus to parts unknown, his
command refusing to accompany him, and
they have all surrendered. Imboden is in
the far South, but is represented by Colo.

paroled one thousand five hundred rebels,
among whom were many officers. The
latter were permitted to retain their side

A short time since a man sporting shout
der straps appeared in Wateryilie, claiming to
be Major Sweetsir, and in this capacity he
was introduced, or sought introduction, to
young vlady.of that town, who has no parents
living, and to her he claimed to be a gentle
man of means from buffalo, N. Y, who had
just been honorably mustered out of the U. S.

They took lodgings at the American House,
Boston, and after a few days spent there, the
gallant Major turned up missing, leaving his

communicated intelligence of her situation,

General Van Wyck returns to New York to
night. He has been endeayoring to obtain an
order mastering out his old regiment, the 56th
New York veteran volunteers. He regrets the
mastering out of SO many colored troops, be-
cause the veteran regiments are required to
remain longer to do what could as well be done
by them. He says from observations in South
Carolina, where he is on service, that the
clamor OF the planters against colored troops
Is without foundation, and that no more out
RACES are committed by black soldiers than bv
white. He and his regiment have been in
service four years, and he thinksit unjust to
them that they should be retained, because
the Southern men have a prejudice against the
colored troops.

INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL.


To the Editor n the Press. s litta1a 9s
Last Monday my appointment to the Office
ofprincipal teacherin the intermediate School
for Boys in this city, was announced in one OF
your local paragraphs. As you will give nor
ice ofanother change in the incunbency Of
that Office before long, I think it well to make
statement ofthe matter Of my application for
it, my appointment to it, and my retirement
from it. af
When found that the return of the minis
lister Of the religious society in which l am
now serving was desired by many, and that
my engagement for another year was not to
be expected, I determined for reasons not in
teresting to the public, to waive an advanta-
geous call to another city, and to spend, at
least, a year in retirement from the ministry,
and, if possible, remain resident here.
An opportunity for retuymngto the employ
ment OF my youth was offered in the resigna-
ton Of the teacher of the Center Grammar
Schoolfor Boys, and expecting the promo
ton of the teacher Of the intermediate School,
Tasked for, and obtained his place. z w
On Tuesday afternoon of this week went
to that school to observe the working of IT,
The teacher proposed that should take charge
of it at once, and courteously introducing me
to the boys, left me in charge. At first there
was some disorder, but no indication of any
spirit that could not control. After recess
the school was comparatively quiet, and the
work went on profitably. 5
On "Wednesday morning the religious exer-
cises, conducted in the accustomed manner
were observed by the boys with great decenoy
and apparent good feeling. After recess the
noise was like the noise of a mob, and thenI
heard the word "SIinistern in Kissing tones,
amidst yells, shouts, screams, and all manner
Of contemptuous looks, signs and tones. Ids
missed the school, taking the precaution of
sending the boys out one by one, to prevent q
noisy crowd about the house. sg3 4gtY "
That could, ina reasonable time, control
and direct these boys and gain their conf
dence, | have no doubt; but the apower be-
hinl' these, indicated by the insults that
bore for half an hour, do not feel called up
on to encounter must seek more retired
secular employment if remain here.
