To SOME of the merchant princes and
millionaires of New York is crdeited the
contemplation of a project at once munifi-
cent, generous and grand. The plan is to
present to tina United States government
So, 900, 900, 900, and thus relieve the nation
of the public debt. It is proposed to make
the gift in 200, 900 shares of $4,000 each,
of which A. T. Stewart, William B. Astor
and others will each take fifty shares, maxi
ing up at least quarter of the whole
amount in New York. The realisation Of
such project would place both govern
ment and citizens in a prouder position
than ever government or citizens occupied
before. History gives no parallel to such
an act The Venetians held in grateful re-
membrance the name of a man who, by q

republic from its financial burdens and

THE appointment of Gen. Lee by the
rebel Congress as Commander -chief
of their armiee, in compliance with the
clamors against Davis and in spite of the
remoustrauces of his organ. proves tho
extent and power of the anti. Davis party.
1t is not Union party by any means, but
i. fsvcrs negotiations for peace connected
with the earnest prosecution of the
war. The most significant item in the late
Southern news is the article of the Rich
mond Enquirer of the 10th, the drift of
which is that if the South should be beaten
ithad better reunite with the North rather
than seek an alliance with England or
France; and that in a war for possession of
the continent and the expulsion of the Eu-
ropean powers the South might hide its
shame and gain advantage and glory
Anything that keeps the idea of reunion
before the Southern people, in their present
distraction aud distress, must have ten
dency in the right direction. 1t is evident
that they arethinkiug about and discussing
just the things that would naturally be in
mind if they felt that they must soon yield
to the logic of events. Hit 'em again,
Sherman, put in the ticks, Terry; that's the
way to bring them round.

The House was opened with prayer by
the Rev. John Moffatt of the I'D Presby-
terian Church.
A message from the Senate announced
that that body had passed Senate bill No
3, making an appropriation for the pay
ment of money drawn by the Executive Of
Virginia and the Merchants and Mechan-
ics' Bank of Wheeling" and a resolution
that the Governor be requested to obtain
the permission Of the President of the
United States tor the West Virginia troops
to be raised under the last call TO remain
within the limits of the State for our own
protection.
The bill was read frat time.
The resolution was opposed by Mr.. Pat
| rick, who thought the State had no busi-
ness to interfere as to the disposition OF
troops called for by the President of the
United States.
Mr.. Ferguson spoke in favor of the res
olution.
Mr.. Pinnell was in favor of the spirit OF
the resolution, but he thought il any class
| of soldiers could be more efficient than an-
other in West Virginia, it was the old
Veteran West Virginians who have served
so faithfully for three years, and not the
new leVies. He spoke at some length up
on the subject of guerrilla outrages and q
proper defence of the State.
Mr.. Ferguson and Mr.. Patrick again
spoke upon the subject, the former for and
the latter against the passage of the reso-
luton.
Mr.. Patrick moved the indefinite post.
ponement of the resolution, and Mr.. Fer
guson called for the ayes and noes:
Mr.. Lamb, by way OF explanation Of the
vote he should cast, said he was utterly
opposed to the interference Of the Legisls-
lature in this matter. The war should be
conducted with view to the interests of
the whole country, and the resolution,
should it pass, would be unsvaiiug, as the
War Department had already declined to
acauiesce in q similar request made by the
State Of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Gather spoke in favor of the resolu9
ton, and Mr. Van Wrinkle against it.
Mr.. Patrick withdrew the motion to in
definitely postpone.

TIE Washington Chronicle makes some
calculations based on the report of the
leading commercial agency in New York
of the capital invested in trade and the
profits thereon, which shows the North tc
be long way from impoverishment OF
inability to submit to taxation. This
commercial agency has made it its bust
ness for years to collect and arrange the
ststistics of trade throughout the country
and its reports are relied upon as substan-
TALLY correct. The aggregate capital en-.
gagged in trade and manufactures, (psnk-
ing, insurance and other financial opera
tions not included,) amounts in the Loyal
states to nearly Eve thousand millions
California is not included but the reclaimed
parts of the southern states are. The
number of firms or houses is les, 1925. AS
tbs average capital reported is less than
$40, 900 each, it is probable the aggre.
gate is not too. large. Surprising this cap
ital to yield net annual profit of ten per
cent, which is very low estimate, the
aggregate gain is five hundred Millions
The amount Of fixed investments in ma.
tional and state stocks, banks, etc., is esti-
mated at two Thousand six hundred mil
lions, which realizes a net profit Of six per
cent. or an aggregate of one hundred and
fifty six millions, one half of which is sop
posed to be reserved for investment.
These accumulated profits naturally seek
permanent investment, sad it is-a notice.
able fact that the loans of the government
have been taken during the year to very
nearly the same amount, with no apparent
withdrawal of capital from the ordinary
business of the country. The people have
merely loaned their accumulated profits to
the government. The people will have
quite az much to lend to the government
this year, and there is no better permanent
Investment. The government paper is so
generally held that every citizen has a
direct interest in it, and will resist all at
tempts to depreciate 1t or to weaken the
credit of the government. The govern
ment may therefore safely calculate upon
being able to borrow of the people at the
rate of million day for the present year,
and this is the average rate at which the
loans have lately been taken. The con-
tinustiOn of our prssentvicsories, strength
eniug the hope that the war is near its end,
will increase the disposition to invest id
government securities, and with proper
management of the floating currency we
shall avoid any financial crisis, and grad
ually return to the gold basis. "fn.

increased precaution in every large town

characterizes the rebellion and it would
readily employ any means to deplete the

TIE people of the interior are not with
out appreheusions that as the rebellion
wanes TO a close the rebels will come back
among them and vote them down at the
ballot bCx. In some of the counties there
is a considerable element of disatfected
persons who seldom or ever go to the polls
now, a-days. They seem to be bidipg their
opportunity and awaiting deliveranoe of
some kind at the hands of events. The
presence of the military has overaWed
them, and has given the loyal population
at least the seeming majority in almost eV-
cry voting precinct. Were the military
removed and the absent rebels back again'
1t is feared that in not few localities the
loyal men would be not only outvoted, but
seriously annoyed. II is to meet danger
of this kind that Mr.. Fleming has proposed
his amendment prescribing to voters the
Dash now taken by officers in this State.
The Constitution specifies that such an
oath can be required of officials and voters
10 time of "war, instruction or public
danger" 1t is suggested to US whether it
can be continued in forceSWhen the war is
over. Upon this point it seems to US
there need be no present anxiety.
When the terms of the Constitution are all
exhausted, viz; "war, iusurrection and
public dagger" it will be time enough to
consider what more may be necessary
When this war is over and all "public dan
ger" connected with its debris passed
away, we will not probably need an extra
ordinary oath for protection. The govern
,nent of the United States will be compell-
ed before that time to adopt some policy as
regards all the. States that have been in
instruction, aud as regards ali persons
who have been overly allied whit. What
that policy is to be no man thus much in
advance can forsee. The present rebellion
involves a magnitude of settlement that
will tax the craftsmanship of this country
beyond all precedent. How far the States
will tie agents in the settlement has yet to
be determined. Our situation presents its
own peculiarities. AS separate State we
have not been in instruction. As for
mer part of Virginia We have been. We
have. like Kentucky, Maryland and Mis-
souri,, been counted as portion of the
Southern Confederacy, and like them we
have had large disloyal element overtly
and secretly aiding and abetting the rebel
cause. The government of the United
States will no doubt aim to secure gen.
ersl status for all such persons. Until it's
agency and our own is defined, all our
legislation must be shaped to meet existing
and arising necessities. Mr.. Flemiug's
amen dment is temporary expedient, as
contemplated in the constitution. It is a
protection against the influences of the
rebellion until the rebellion itself shall
have become ex tinot. As constitutional
protective expedient it eommends itself to
the hearty endorsement of every Union
man, and we trust it will receive the uuan-
imous vote of theLegislature. The idea of
rebels coming into the State and voting
while there remains spark Of vitality in
the rebellion to be anywhere awakened is
something not to be thought of for mo
ment.
