The National Debt.

The Chicago Trii'tns discusses nj som,

siderably talked about. OF paving Off The
national debt by voluntary contributions.
and arrives at the conclusion that if the
people were disposed 10 do il, they would
find il practically impossible aud il they
I should do H. il would Ge the occasion OF
more distress and loss than would the con-
tlnuance Of the debt. II the people were
10 pay this debt at once in money. and #
The circulation were eight hundred millions
All the circulation would have 10 bass
through the national treasury two and a
half times before the debt would be paid.

AS the mortgages they would give would
be a lower grade Of security than the gov
eminent bonds IN time OF peace, they would
bear higher rate Of interest, and thus Tie
burden on the people would be greater than

Any general attempt TO pay of the VA
tional debt by voluntary contribution. still
more by taxation, would give rise 10 strlu-

CHIEF JUsTICE CHAsR.-The Washington
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
sayc:
Some two or three days ago. Chief Jus-
tice Chase requested the withdrawal of the
guard which had been kept about his house
day and night by order of the War Depart
ment. since the assassination. He supposed
none but executive officers OF the Govern
ment were in any danger and preferred 10
avoid the Osientation and Inconvenience of
the guard. Lat on Friday night a man
rushed into his house in a state of great
alarm. stating that two or three men
dressed in women's clothes, had been OBJ
served for the last half hour lurking about
the house, watching the entrance and beha-
wing IN very suspicious manner. He then
hurried of 10 General Ausur's headquar-
tiers and told the same story The military
authorities az once sent sent down guard.
but nothing was observed Mr.. Chase IS
understood 10 believe that the persons Oh
served IN disguise were boys out on a spree
OF some sort. but the military authorities
have since been keeping close guard.
