The Popular Movement TO Pay the
National Debt.

IL Is announced that in New York city some
thing over one hundred names OF passons have
been obtained tow ards the one hundred and fifty
thousand who will pay of the public debt. Ir-
regular and chimercal as seems this plan Of
raising enough to pay of the National debt. il
is not devoid either Of possibility or value Its
irregulatity affords no argument against il; the
question being one, not Of precedents, bu, Of
practcability
As, perhaps is not generally known. the plan
is for one hundred and fifty thousand persons TO
pay each 500 600 and thus liquidate at once the
three thousand millions of our national indebted
ness. The only question Is To its value. for if
valuable il is practicable. In substance the con
sideration of the matter resolves itself into this:
Is il better to pay off the debt at once, or allow
it to run for a number of years, during which the
debt will become no smaller, while sum twice
or thrice its magnitude will be ex pended in nte-
rest aud the machinery Of tsxationy In other
words, shall the nation pay three or four times
the amount OF the debt in ia xation before pro-
ceeding to pay the debt ilselif
As a question of simple economy. ii is better
to pay the debt at once. and thus the
ton the millions that will be paid or rather thrown
away. in interest and the expenses of tax alton
To do this is comparatively All easy matter. In-
stead OF having one hundred aud fifty thousand
men who will pay 500 OGO each. let Us have just
many men as possible who will pay the S21-
900, but do not let any one be debarred from
contributing a less sum. Where man is not
wealthy enough TO take one share in the scheme
let two take it, or three. anv number that NAV
be necessary, according to their means. Thus,
in Chicago there are perhaps fifty men who can
afford 10 pay each the 900 900 There is less
wealthy class who can afford to pay each ten
thousand and so on in diminished proportion
10 this manner. by allowing everybody to con
tribute. not excluding even the dimes OF the
poorest. not less than one hundred shares of
$50. 900 each could be subscriber in Chicago
Let smaller places DO likewise There are
some which might manage. Say ten shares, Others
five. and some not more than one.
We suggest that the business men of this city
take the initiative in this State. Let them inau
gurate a movement that will secure a thorough
canvass of the city, and the collection of every
cent that can be obtained. Let them. soon
as possible, hold confer ence. and ascertain what
can probably be raised IN Chicago. and then let
it be announced that this city will take SO many
shares in the movement This will stimulate
other places. and the result will be that the en-
tire debt will be provided for before the maturity
Of its FIRST semi annual interest.
To start the affair in Chicago. it is only
cessary for few leading men TO take the matter
in hand. call a meeting and create and get in
operation the proper machinery. - Chicago

has fallen. The army which has stoo,
for long years as the strong and impene
trable rampant of the rebellion has surren
dered. General Lee, the hope of th,
rebels, is paroled prisoner, and has giver
up all hope himself. Johnston is sur.
rounded and his escape with his army il
impossible. He must disband or surrep-
der. The armies of rebeldom are dis
heartened, broken up and scattered.
The great military leader of the conspira-
cy against the Government is a prisoner
on parole, and the civil ruler is fugitive
from justice, without capital, without a
Congress or Cabinet, without means,
without men and without God in the
world The rebellion is crushed, the
rebel power is thing that has been, but

the h public is safe, the Union is no
