The Consolidated National Debt.


We trust the Finance Committee of the Senate
win lose no time in considering Mr.. Shermans
bill for consolidating 1.-THE debt and reporting it
to Congress. The country needs thorough
financial plan, and we know of none that would
be more generally acceptable than this. An
objection is made to the fourth section of the
bill on the ground that it takes an undue ad-
vantage of holders of Seven-thirties, by compel
ling them to decide six months before maturity
whether they will accept another form of loan
or national currency for their securities. We
think it bad policy for a Government to take a
course which by any means could be construed
into an attempt to drive a sharp bargain. But,
at the same time the Government must adopt
a measure of selfprOteCtion. Time will be ne.
cessary to provide the means to meet these
Seven-thlrty notes as they mature. There are
over SSOO 900 600 OF Seyen-thlrty notes to be re-
deemed III some way, and in a very short time.
We cannot raise this money by any system of
direct taxation without creating heavy burdens;
and the necessity OF providing $500 900 III
currency, and at the same time in Five
twenties, to be READY upon the day
the Seven-Thirties mature SO as to be pre- pared
tor any declsion the holders NAV Lnake, Is TO
place upon the Treasury burden of enormous
magnitude. The money market cannot but
sutier from the ignorance OF the Department and
the indecislon OF note holders. 1t the monev
value OF the SeYen-thirty loan is thrown upon
Ile udIktl III CuTTtuCJY we S1dll nave u period
OF Initiation more extended, and IN the end,
more disastrous than at any time of the war. Ii
we conhne ourselves TO Flvc-twentes as the
only loan to be taken by those who returned the
Seven-thirties, aud Eold an abundance OF money,
we merely assume a new six per cent. gold
bearing loan for at least five years succeeding
the maturity OF the Seven tn lrties without tak-
ing advantage OF the increased national pros
perity, the abundance OF money that national
prosperity will bring, and the OPP ortunty we
shall have OF reducing the rate of interest and
creating sinking iund ior the payment OF the
national debt.
BY the plan of Mr. Sherman, the Government
like any prudent money-dealer, will know six
months in advance what it will be called upon
to do-lhe amount OF money and OF bonds it
| will have to provide. There will be no cnance
| TO create panic or TO demoralize the business
! OF the country AT the same time, this fourth
section is merely matter of convenience, and
not an essential part of the bill, and we are not
anxious about its tate. We wish to see the Gov.
! ernment reduce the rate of interest, and thus
save l6s OF the amount OF the interest TO be paid
annually; and, IN the second place, apply the
! money thus saved TO the payment OF the Ma
| tional debt. As we showed yesterday, by nego-
tiating 2000, ,OO0, 900 of FIVE per cent loan and
! applying one per cent. OF that amount with
! compound interest for forty years We shall be
able to pay of S2,OOO,O 900 OF the national

and how Stevens Sumner, and the radicals will
Immediately thereafter be, both In tact and IN
southern estimation, the Sou'h's dearest kindeSt
friends.
This is shallow and ridiculous enough; but it
probably foretokens q considerable modification
of the plan reported by the committee, and
change OF tactics by the ra heals, They are de-
hberating on the eXpedtency OF playing the part
OF melting, gushing mpathy for tie south. All
the tears, OF course, lie in au onion which they
will really shed over the sufferings OF our South
eTn brethren; but there IS little doubt that they
are IehearsiI comedy OF tears. Forney says
that the radical Governors, stimulated by the
iorlorn condition of the Southern people, and
moved by the appeals" etc, will make haste to
call extra sessions OF the State Legislatures to
ratlfy the radical amendment. The pretense OF
m0gnanimous pe1erositv, which the radicals
are about to assume, Is heralded In the closing
paragraph OF Forney's letter, as tollows;--N N
"It WILL therefore appear that the obstructionistJ
are 10 be fodnd among the Presidents friends That
the South ern Staes are to be held out of the Union
oY Ine man VINO has atIery prolessed TO be their
press will not permit him to decide the ques ion
which IS exclusively its own, he has attempted a
new experiment that will prove to be the most atal
of all his enterprises The Southern people wil
soon be convinced that the radicals, as thev are
called, are, IN fact, their best friends Speaking
ior the lions who conquered the Rebellion, tbey
will, predict, now that t1e chief guarantees have
been secured, yIe everything that can be honora.
bly, ard iaIrly exp cted demanded. The great
business interests, North or South a,reauy appre-
caie The justice of this prediction, and are pre-
paTIDg for The consequences of its realization There
IS not 'rsdlcal IN either branch of Congress- be-
ginning with Mr. summer in the Senate and Mr..
Stevens in the House, who VIII not outbid all the
PROCESSING trends Of the Southern people IN acts of
practical beDevOlence and substantial forgiveness
If these people, after due reflection, accept the gem
erOus conditions rendered by the Joint Committee
on Reconstl uctioD. He who most bitterly DOUBTS
the sincerity and the justice of this deliberate do
clarauon will be most completely deceived"
Neither such twaddle as this, nor the melo.
dramatic hypocrisy it ioreshadows will produce
any effect on the South; nor are the radicals
such idiots as to suppose, it wIll. They are re-
duced to put on this hypbcritical mask to keep
their party together IN the North limo mat
next falls Congressional elections, their as
cendapcy in the Government will last till after
the Presidential election, and they will use that
ascendancy without scruple 10 prevent the
Southern votes nom being counted. ..4 .....

debtabout the end of the present century. For
this reason, we were willing TO accept thirty
or forty year loan. To provide against any con.
tingeneies, however, and to make the job of
paying our debt as easy as possible to our chill
dren, we should be willing TO accept longer
loan than that provided by Mr. Sherm ans bill
httY years, Tor instance. The main points upon
which we feel like insisting are:-
l. That the six per cent. ana seven and three
tenths per cent. loans shall be converted into
five per cent loans so soon as the terms oil their
creation will permit. ... .... -fa1 t-a.rr a ...
III. That the Government shall not Oay more
Than FIVE per cent tor money, when other coun-
tries. without one-half of our re esources can 90.

Our accomplished and well-informed Paris
correspondent, writing from one OF the centres
of political opinion Just now in Europe gives US
to believe that the lull in the stormy controversy
between Austria and Prussia is but the calm
that pIesages the storm. The rumors current
at the sailing of the last steamer that Austria
had proposed, in answer to Herr Bismark's note
of the 18th ultimo that simultaneous reduc-
tion Of the armaments of the two DO wers should
take place, and which was considered as pro-
bable means OF avoiding hostIlites, possess too
little OF authenticity, IN the shape in which they
come 10 us, to warrant a conclusive opinion
based upon the information hat they give. This
course on the part OF Austria, following upon
Blsmark's note OF the 10Th of April, would tend
rather to strengthen Prussia, already arrogant
and aggressive in the evidence that il would
give OF Austria's dislike to risk a war, upon the
questions at issue, with her antagonist.
In his note of the 10Th ult., Bismark, who is
as usual peremptory and imperative, says:-
Let II (the Imperial Government) TeestaOlish
the stdt quo 0Re If it desire that reciprocity in
declarations should pass into the domain of
fact.n The peremptory tone of this condition
TO reestablishment OF the old order of things
cannot escape notice. In making the conces-
sion imputed TO her, Austria would tacltly
acknowledge that her military preparations
