The War Debt.

The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cnnati Conmercial thinks that the question
of the payment of the National and Rebel
war debt, will be more formidable question
in the matter of reconstruction than ever that
of the negro. In late letter to the Conner
ciai this correspondent says
There is one question connected with recon-
structon which is yet destined to create more
trouble aud ill-feeling than ever the question
of the everlasting negro. | mean the taxa
ton question. as it relates to the payment OF
the national debt, the rebel debt. and the sew
eral State debts incurred during The rebellion.
a little episode that occurred here last week,
Is Illustrative of what IS coming. Governor
Pierpont, of "Old Virginia. WHO'S accused,
by the radically loyal of having sold out that
State To the rebels. was at the Treasury De
parment. and IN the bureau of Freemen
Clarke. Controller OF the Currency. in which
office he is, the very efficient successor of
Hugh McCulloch. The conversation turned
uron Virginia and her finances. Governor
Pierpont, taking apparently the view of the
Richmond gentry, with whom he has been
atiihating for the past three months, demand
ed whether it was to be expected that the poor
old Dominion would submit to be taxed to
pay the war debt2 Mr. Clarke was decided
ly of the opinion that she would. and if she
didn't t. then that she would be made to-
Nhercat the Governor flew into violent pas
sion. and with more profanity than grammar,
bestowed the loose expectoration of his
speech upon the comptroller so oifensivelv
that he was summarily elected from the office
by the latter. PeTpont i reported to have
beeu indulging rather freely in the cup which
cheers, and also inebriates, but whether this
serves as an eXtenuation or an aggrayation of
bis conduct, may admit of question.
Doubtless it viii go hard for the proud
stomached sccessionists of the South, to put
their hands IN their pockets and pay the bill
''ior their own subiection, as these reluct-
ant Eubmissionists are pleased to term it. But
that is a part of the penalty of an unsuccessful
rebellion the world over. They should have
counted the cost before they went to war
Now. it is entirely toe late. ] see that some
Of the Southern conventions lately held had
much trouble over the rebel debt incurred in
the struggle against the Union. While they
have generally voted to repudiate it, there
was great struggle en- the part of power
ful minority to have it provided for, or to refer
the matter to future legislatures. Of course
it will never be paid. although the debt being
chiefly owned at home, II seems very hard to
all holders.
Ii the policy ef President JOHNSON. as
indicated in his letter 10 Gov. HOLDEN, is
followed, the question will be settled easily,
and to popular satisfaction. Every dollar
of the State debt, created to aid the rebellion
against the United States, should be repudia-
ted finally and forever" And FREEMAN
CLARKE, albeit he excited the ire of Gov.
PIERpoxr, foreshadowed the policy that will
hlone please the people.

n A CANADIAN paper says that orders have
been received by the Belgian for the purchase
Of cats and barley in Canada for the home
market. This is ANEW feature of the grain
trade, rendered necessary by the short crops
this year in Europe and the United States
and, in view Of the probable abrogation Of
the reciprocity treaty next March, is pleas
ant feature. 1t is estimated that the differ
ence between the price of cats and barley in
England and Canada, at the present tins, is
sufficiently large TO- make trade between the
two countries profitable TO the Canadian pro
dueers.
