THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
From the Nntional Intelligencer.l

From the National Intellgencer.
The financial legislation of Congress has,
so far, contributed to maintain and strength
en- confidence in the Government funds, and
we have seen that they hold their price in
fact that gold has declined in New York to
l25 or l36. Nothing is likely to happen
that will depress the price of our bonds
abroad and there is every reason TO believe
that the price will rise to near par. The
loan bill has not, indeed, given the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury all the power that was
requisite to reform the currency and put the
public credit on a good basis. Perhaps he
would have done as well without any addi-
tional legislation at all, as with this bill
But at any rate it enables him TO fund all
the maturing obligations of the Government.
1t is said he is now preparing a plan for
funding the floating debt into long bonds
The hope is expressed in some quarters that
he will not make any such mistake as TO
put the rate of interest too low, or the bonds
too short. Less than six per cent. interest
would not, probably, command capital at
this time.
Congress, il Is believed, will legislate on
the subject of the national bank currency so
as strictly to confine It's volume within the
present limit of three hundred millions, and
also to equalize its distribution, throughout
all sections of the country, in Just proper
tion to population, capital, and business
wants. Therefore, one great point is gained.
The paper currency is not to be incl eased in
volume, and its reduction, to the extent Of
one-half, can be accomplished within seven
years, even at tho restricted rate of the loan
bill
II is time for Congress 70 show their hands
upon the subjects Of taxation and revenue
1t has been supposed that some reduction
would be made in the rates of internal taxa
ton, but the constant tendency Of the pfo.
tectiye system under which Congressional
acts is TO an increase Qf the rate Of duties
upon impQrts. The abrogation Of the reci-
procity treaty will enhance the rate of du-
ties ON some imports from the Canadas,
though it will dimish our export trade, an d,
to considerable extent, impair our COM
mercial resources.
A system of revenue which will promote
commerce, and agriculture, and all our do
mestic interests alike or burden them as
lightly as possible and vet provide for the
wants Of the GoyeFnmenh is ThatTe desife,

SOUTHERN MERCHANTS MEETING
THEIR LIABILITIES.

At meeting of the New York Chamber
of Commerce on Thursday, Mr.. Opdyke of
the special committee, to whom was refer
red petition and other papefs, asking the
Chamber to memorialize the President af
the United States or Congress in favor of ex
acting from the States lately in rebellion, as
a condition precedent to their restoration to
the Union, the acknowledgement of their
obligation to pay the principal and interest
of their respective State Indebtedness incur
red prior to the rebellion, made the follow
ing report which was accepted, and the COM
mittee discharged:
"That the voluntary action of those States
since the suppression of the rebellion fur
nishes gratifying evidence that no interposi
tion on the part of the General Govern
ment is needed TO secure the results asked
for by our petitioners.
'No one of the States lately in rebellion
has shown any disposition to repudiate their
liabilities incurred prior to the war. On
the contrary, most of them have already
acknowledged that liability, and many of
them have also been engaged in devisipg
ways and means for paying off the accumu-
lated interest and providing for the future
payment of interest and principal.
"Your committee are informed that the
State of Georgia has already authorized the
issue and sale of new bonds sufficient to IL
quidate their entire back interest, to the pay
ment of which the proceeds Of the new
bonds are to be applied.
"The State of Florida has done further
than this, in inserting in her new Constitu-
ton, recently adopted, a provision that all
the individual Indebtedness of her citizens
existing prior to the rebellion shall be held
as valid, legal claims against them. Other
of these States are taking such measures for
resuming the payment of interest on their
bonds issued before the rebellion as their
present limited means and impaired credit
viii permit,
Equally honorable sentiments have been
manifested by most of the citizens of those
States which are inhibited to the North for
purchases made antecAdent to the war. Few,
if any of them, have failed to acknowledge
their obligations, or to provide for the fu-
ture payment of such portion of them as
their reduced assests viii allow,
"In view Of these manifestation of honor
able sentiments at the South, on the part of
both States and individuals, it is believed
by your committee that no action on the
part Of the General Government is called

From the Knoxville Commercial
There is 4 type Of men to be found even
in high places, 10y whom the obligations of
promise, are held with as little regard to
honor as is observed BY professional trick
SjsH
Theae men have .he faculty and bold
faced assurance to hood wink community
by all the fair promises that are sure 10 meet
its approval, and when once the day arrives
to throw of the mask that conceals the hi
deous features Of deception, they plunge into
deeds Of treacherY with no regard iaF the
wishes of chose who elevated them to power,
or OF tEe feelings they have outraged and
humiliated. The Radical majority in our
Legislature is graced by At least one such
character. The representative from Hawk
ins county-Sheppard is his name-was
elected by practicing most infamous decep-
ton upon the citizens of that county, lie
professed that he was opposed to the Radi-
cal policy, and being an old citizen, and al
ways having been considered a gentleman,
he was chosen by the people to represent
them.
IL il were no; that he has shown so little
regard for honor, We should doubt that he
can ever summon sufficient brazen impu-
dence 20 60 back 70 those constituents with
the horrid stencil Of treacheTy that he has
so far accumulated, to make any attempt TO

HOUSE.RAIsING IN CHICAGO,
From the Chicago Journal,

From the Chicago Journal,l
The Briggs il going up, though prices will
remain as heretofore. When that hotel was
built a few years ago, people complained of
the side walk in front of it, which was much
higher than in front of other premises.
Time, that works wonders, has changed the
order of things, and latterly the Briggs
House sidewalk has been a foot or two low
er than its neighbors. Messrs. w. u. Tucker
& Co. havina efieatad 4no,Eer lease Of The
premises ipr term OF SIX yeafs nom this
spring, determined - raise tbo noble struo-
ture " to grade" giving it the full benefit of
its splendid first story, which is now four
feet and two inches below grade.
The mammoth undertaking was cam
menced several years ago. The building Is
q massive brick structure, with mastic flcing,
five stories high, and with front of eighty
feet on Randolph street, and one hundred
and eighty feet on Wells street. To raise
this immense weight from its foundation,
and elevate the entire mass four feet and
two inches, is no tridipg matter though here
IN Chicago where this sort OF thing origin
aied and has been practiced so frequently,
little more is thought of it than would be OF
the moving of a building from one location
TO onother
The foundations having been excayated
and the timbers and screws put in place,
this forenoon was selected for the beginning
Of the grand forward or upward movement,
4 very large force of workmen, together
with number of invited guests" manned
the sixteen hundred screws, and at given
| signal, which was sounded at precisely
eighteen minutes after II O'Clock, the levers
were set in motion and the hugh structure,
lifted by the irresistible power Of the screw,
began its upward journey.
The contract price for raising the building
is $4,000. II will cost as much more to build
up the foundations, and with interior i'm.
proyements contemplated, the entire outlay
viii exceed $50 600 I'd
