TIE NATIONAL DEBT.


THE NATIONAL DEBT.
According to the best estimates that
can be made, the closing up of the extra
ordinary expenses If The war will leave
us with national debt of not more than
three thousand million dollars--a some
what respectable sum, but one which no
one, not even the worst copperhead doubts
our ability to pay. The question is not
whether it shall be paid, but how fast.
A class Of persons who naturally have a
horror of debt would have all the availa-
bic energies of the nation devoted to this,
and do up the job in the shortest possible
time. We have even heard men express
a willingness to be taxed to the full amount
necessary for its immediate extineuish-
ment, provided it could be made to fall
evenly. Such scheme is, of course,
impracticable, but by practical men the
question must be argued, whether we
shall continue the present rate Of taxation
which would probably cxtinguish the debt
in thirty years, at least, provided the ma
tional wealth in ,rcascs in the same ratio
that it has in years past. The only valid
argument in favor Of this policy is, that a
nation out of debt is stronger and holds
position of greater advantage among the
nations, than when numbered with heavy
obligations, that it might be pcrilous to
add to. But in this regard we are not at
disadvantage as compared with any
other, and could probably add to our bur-
den more safely than any with which we
are liable to have hostile relations.
On the other hand we have no need of
a perpetual debt for national security
Our system is now more firmly fixed in
the affections of the yeople than ever be-
fore, and that security is ample. Even
European croakers will subsidc on that
subject, and admit that government ex-
isting by the will of the governed is the
most secure form. But though debt is
on no account to be desired it is on no ac-
count to be so feared as to make it advis-
able for this generation to exhaust its en-
ergies in removing it. Our national
wealth doubles every ten years, and,
therefore, our ability to pay given sum
thus increases. At the end of twenty
years our ability to pay will be four times
as great us now, and if we should but pay
the interest on the debt till the close of
the century the burden will rest upon
that generation with but one-eighth the
weight that it does on us; and who fears
that they would charge us with doing less
than our duty! In perfect consistency
with our best interests as nation the Or
diuary sources of revenue can he so en-
largcd as TO meet current expenses and
pay the interest on the debt. Add to
this tax upon luXuries and large in
comes and the debt would be in process
of extinguishment sufficiently rapid to
quiet the most nervous person. The
complicated and very expensive machin-
cry of collection should be dispensed with
as soon as possible, and as soon as may be
the immense burden taken from the mas
scs whose means are small.

tragedy, and jeff ought to have had bet

There is little reason to doubt that he
will find a debt TO pay at Washington
that cannot be discharged by reputation.
No more is known of the evidence that
duplicates him in the assassination con-
spiracy; but the fact that the imputation
was made by the advice of Counsellor

proof probably be sufficient. But aside

r9-The work of reconstruction is fairly
commenced. President johnson has is
sued an order. by which all that has been
done in Virginia by the late rebel author
tiles is wiped out, and anybody who shall
hereafter act under any such authority is
declared rebel and will be so treated.
Gov. Pierpont is recognized as governor
Of the whole State and will be sustained
in carrying ont the Federal authority.
The people of North Carolina are ready
to put their State in line again and TO
commence operations by adopting the alb
clifton amendment of the constitution.
Prominent rebels, who have surrendered,
express perfect confidence that the people
will be ready to recognize the fact that
the rebel enterprise is a failure, and re-
turn peaceably to the Union, under such
an arrangement as may be prescribed by
the executive. 1t is probable that Presi-
dent johnson will soon define a plan by
which he will propose to effect the work
of reconstruction. Whatever it may be
it will meet with no opposition. The
rebel states are liz ruined condition and
are urgently anxious for peace and an OPP
portunity to pursue peaceful avocations,
and to procure for themselves the neces-
saries of life, They are not likely to be
very captious about the means that are
used in their behalf.

to the Vermont Record, respecting the
'Stettin Mission:
"But why are we not on our way to

TO have answered. The farmers and

The money was raised to deflay all ex-

was mp, and the great ocean highway

cargo forward! But there was a hitch

Caveats, Specifications, Bonds, Assignments and all Pa pers or Drawings for Patents, executed on lib eral terms. and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works, to test the validity or utility of Patents ol Inventions and legal and other advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furnished by remitting one dollar. Assignments recorded at Washing l ton.
 The Agency is not only the largest in New England, but through it, inventors have ad vantages for sec urine Patents, of ..scertaining the patentability of inventions, unsurpassed | by, if not immeasurably superior to any which can be offered them elsewhere. The testimo- nials given below prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE. 1 than the subscriber and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES AND ABILI- TY, he would add that he has abundant req l son to believe and can prove, that at no other office of the kind are the charges for profess sional services so moderate.
