~ &C "a Blessing tn Owe what You
Cam'l Paw

Mr. Jay Cooke, the able financier, who has
been so successful in negotiating the Govern
ment loans. has prepared an elaborate docum ent
to prove that the national debt is blessing, +"
and that. il rightly managed. it will prove to be
a bond that will cement the Union more firmly
than before. This proposition is ably argued by
Mr.. Cooke, and it cannot be denied that he ad-
duces some very plausible reasons tor his as
sumption. The doctrine that a national debt is
calculated to strengthen a Government. is by no
means new theory, and there are, in fact,
many able political economists in England who
strenuously argue in favor of the proposition
Nc. Cooke will probably find some difficulty,
however. IN proving TO the American peo
pie that debt of this kind-whether per
s0nal State or national-is "a blessing Our
people have always had the notion that individ-
ual Indebtedness is a sort ofsynonym for misery,
and it will be difficult TO convince them that an
aggregation OF individual misery constitutes
blessing. But the latter part OF Mr. Cookies
proposition will doubtless meet with more gen
eral favor, for the argument ia not easily con
troverted. The debts being distributed all over
the country, in every State county and town, and
among all classes OF people. il will necessarily
prove bond OF Union. Every man who holds
dollars worth of national securities will have
pecunisry interest in the perpetuation of
the Union. additional to every other influence
1 et Win Ali these advantages there are very few
people who would not consent to relinquish them
for the sake of getting rid of the national debt,
If that were possible The question vill natu
rally arise if three thousand millions of debt il
blessing, why not let il accumulate 80 as TO make
il Q still greater blessing? But Mr. Cookies
article is really beneficial. for although it may
fail TO prove satisfactorily the ground which be
assumes. it certainly will tend to dsspate any
fears that may have been engenderej regarding
the danger OF such a debt to our financial seeur.

that lie acts should tie submitted 10 the votes OF

the insurrectionistS are carrying it on
with great ferOcity. 1t broke out on the
18th OF October, and on the 10th not a
single white person remained in the
parish, many Of them having been killed
and the remainder having fled to save
their lives. 1t is reported that the ne
groes are guilty of the grossest out

THE FATE OF WIRa.-It is understood
that the President has approved the
death sentence passed upon Wirz by the
late military tribunal at Washington.
and that his execution by hanging will
take place on Friday Of this week To
this measure Of justice every man
throughout the United States who is not
at heart traitor, or who is not fool,
will say amen. Had the most horrible
monster Of modern times ten thousand
lives, the sacrifice of the last Of them
would hardly balance the frightful cata-
logue Of his Murdered Union prisoners of
war. There is some satisfaction, how.
ever, in this reflection, that as in this
inhuman and remorseless savage were
concentrated all the ferocious instincts,
crimes and cruelties of the rebellion, he,
at least, las not escaped the arm of ius-
tice. Nor can we resist the thought
that, with the execution of their muir
derer, the bones OF his unnumbered vic
tins at Andersonville will rest more
quietly in their trenches. Let his SEN
tence be carried out.--N. /. Herald. III
