quietly taken down by some one connected with
the establishment and the State flag hoisted in
its stead. The Confederate flag has never been
raised over the Wing building, and never will
be. The halyards of the staff are so much de-
cayed by long exposure to the weather that we
are at present unable to hoist any banner. At
the first opportunity the old flag shall again
appear over the building" Sudden conversion

; Again the Wing says: "The transition from
enormous prices and deprecated currency to
reasonable rates and real money has come so
suddenly upon the citizens that it will be some
time before they can properly realize the change.
To put the parallel more plainly, it is only nee
essary to put in juxtaposition the prices of GER
tain staple articles before and since the occupa-
ton Of the cities by the forces of the Union.
Butter that was scarce at S25 pound is now
plentiful at so and go cents; eggs that hid
away at S25 per dozen came out readily at the
beck of 80 cents, and other commodities in an
equal ratio" Which is the better, the old
United States government, or JEFF. Daviss
ConfederacyP In the same number of the
Wing we find the National songs, "Hal CO.
lumbia" and "S,ar Spangled Banner" Surely
those Southern chivalry can turn pretty short
corners.

While resolutions of thanks to Gen. Grant
were pending in the New York Legislature, on
Monday, some members expressed strong dis
approval of the liberality of the terms offered
by Gen. Grant to the rebels. They seemed 10
understand that Gen. Grant had given gen.
eral amnesty to Lee and his whole army This
is Misrepresentation. Lee and his army are
simply paroed for exchange, instead of heng
held as prisoners. The act is a strictly militia
~ one, and has no reference to the status of
any of the parties concerned after the war is
over. Gen. Grant declined to negotiate for
peace, because not authorized TO do so. Gen.
Lee cannot be arrested and tried for treason
while the war continues, any more than if he
were in our possession as prisoner of war.
When the civil rule supersedes the military, he
may be legally dealt with, like any other citi.
zen. That there is TO be general amnesty is
not at all to be inferred from the terms of sur.
render offered by Gen. Grant, though the Who'll
proceeding undoubtedly indicates the purpose
of the government to wise leniency in clos ng
up the war; BY paroing Lees officers and
soldiers, Gen. Grant hot only relieves the gov
eminent of the trouble and cost of guarding
and feeding them, but scatters throughout the
South the most effective missionaries of peac,
and reconstruction. The other rebel forces
will fall 10 pieces and scatter under their infu
ence, if the rebel commanders do not anticipat,
that event by accepting the same terms Offered
TO Lees army. As to the treatment to be ex
tended to The rebel leaders there are widely diff
terent opinions. We do not expect TO see evei
the chief traitor hung ION a sour apple tree,
but if the government shall not adhere to thu
disfranchisement OF the leaders OF the rebellion
it will mistake weakness for magnanimity.-

THE REBEL DEBT. The Richmond En-
quierer has new project fo accomplishing the
reputation Of the rebel debt. 1t says that the
whole debt amounts to about two thousand
millions, for which the government has not re-
ceived the specie value of two hundred mil
lions. And so it asks "Can there be any
wrong or injustice in reducing this indebted
ness, and bringing it within the capacity of the
resources of the country TO pay, and to provide
for its payment ct about what the government
received for il ?" Besides, it says:
"These thousands of millions bewilder one, confuse
all ideas of enumeration and do much to destroy our
credit. Two thousand millions. Think Of it. Who
can estimate It ? Who can comprehend it Not the
people whose bone and muscle are to pay it. Not that
army IN The trenches, haess, shoeless foodss, Naked
hungry suffering Shall these men, after years of snch
suffering, work and toll through long years of labor
and prvation, and bequeath to their children the leg
acy Of work and toll to reimburse the bondhode ,
who, having now paid one dollar Of gold value then
demands ten Let The cotton tobacco, meat, forage,
negroes, all be taken, and then lei The bonds be taken
hketose."
With less striking arguments than these,
JEFF. Davis carried reputation in Mississippi
years ago, and why should he hesitate now 1t
is plain that the fate of the rebel debt is one of
the things that will least trouble those who
have created it when tho upshot of the rebel
lion arrives.

ITs LIBERAL INTEREST The general rate of interest
is six per cent. payable annually. This is seven and
three tenths, payable sen,i-annualy. you lend

fees, stamp duties and delays, and you will finally
have returned to you only the same kind of money
you would receive from the Government, and less Of

Any bank or banker will obtain it for you without
charge To each note or bond affixed five Scout
pons interest tickets due at the expiration of each
successive haf-year. The holder of note has simply
to cut off of these coupons present it to the near

lent, when due, to money. If you wish to borrow
ninety cents the dollar upon these notes, you have
the highest security in the market to do it with. If
you wish to sell, it will bring within fraction of cost

by agreeing to address all who may call at the White
House Mt O'Clock this afternoon.
Thus far the only good speech made has been that
of Gen. Butler, to an immense crowd ut Wizards Ho-
tel. The general referred to the surrender the
closing of the first sangunary act Of the great drama.
What is in the future There are, he said, four
classes of Southern men to be dealt with First,
those educated at the Military Academy at the ex-
pense of the United States who followed its flag, but
who deserted it to obtain higher rank from is oppo-
nents shall they be permitted to re-enter the
vice which they dsgraceiully deserted The audi
ence responded, "Nerer nerer ~ Then we have
those who sat in the Capitol, and who, there plotted
the treason which has onrished and has been over
thrown. Shall they be permitted to return to those
halls and to again become Lawmakers for the govern
ment which they endeavored to destroy? (Shouts
of No, never l'')
Then there is THIRD class, the poor whites Of the
South who have been led to religiousy believe that
they were doing right, and who have faithfully served
the cause into which they were begueG. Shall we
not forgive them they repent, and receive them
back to our hearts Cries Of, Yes take them back
But there is vet another class. There have been
loyal men at the South who have aided Union
soldiers to escape from rebel dungeons-who have pi
loted them through swamps and sheltered them in
their cabins. Shall we not treat these men kindly
even il their skins are darker than They have
fought for us and with us. Shall they not be recev-
ed equals before the law (Shcuts Of "they shall

PAYMENT OF THE PUBLIC DEBT. the best
minds in the country-wheher in Congress or
out Of it-should give to the national debt an
immediate and thorough consideration. The
debt was reported at the close of the last month
at 81, 366,955,077. But that sum, large as il
is. is not full exhibit. Besides what has been
reported as standing upon the books of the
government, there is a large mass of indebted
ness floating about that is yet to be gathered
together and made comfortable for liquidation.
In addition to this Indebtedness, provision
ought TO be made at Cnce by Congress for an
assumption ofso mrsh of the indebtedness OF
the several States as is strictly aud iegitimdtely
War Debt. Thorough investigation and close
scrutiny can determine for each of the States a
very near approximation to the actual claim
that each would have. The States, generally
that have been loyal, have battled manfuy for
the Union, and the expense they hare incurred
should make a part of he mass of indebtedness
for the nation 10 hquidate.

its facts, statements arguments and truths carefully
needed. No one hearing that earnest truthful and
