THE FINANCES.

The House of Representatives has had under
consideration for sometime a bill, based upon
the views and recommendations of Secretary
McCulloch, to amend an act entitled san act to
provide waysand means to support the govern
ment and to pay the interest on the public
debt" better known as the loan bill.
The bill authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury to receive any Treasury notes or other
obligations in exchange for government bonds
the proceeds to be used for retiring Treasury
notes or other obligations; but the public debt
is not to be increased =
The bill, after much discussion, failed, on the
10th, by a vote of G5 to 20, but a reconsidera-
aion of the vote was moved, and the bill will
undergo further discussion.
One of the strongest points made against the
measure was, that it proposed to convert large
amount of Notwithstanding greenbacks in
to Understanding bonds, at an annual cost to
the government of twenty-four millions of dol
lars payable for interest-and another obliga-
ton was. that it would effect general reduc-
ton of the market value of property.
Messrs. Latham and Whaley, of West Vir-
ginia. voted for the bill, and Mr.. Hubbard,
against it.
\ letter from the Secretary Of the Treasury
in response to a call of the House, states tic
amount of money in the Treasury, including
all sums in the depositaries, to be as follows:
CoN S57,799,92l .37

CIvTt RIGHFs BILL. y,

The bill to declare all persons born in this
country to be citizens, without regard to race
or color, except Indians not taxed, was passed
in the Senate on the 18th, as amended by the
House, after earnest oppositionby Mr.. Davis Of
Kentucky, who contended that there was no
constitutional power on the subject-that the
regulation of isil rights in State belongs to
the State exclusively, and that Congress had no
right to go into any State and declare either
equality or inequality Of civil rights.
But these arguments were disregarded, and
the bill was hurried off to the Presidentfo for his
signature.
But it will be seen that no attempt is made
in this bill to regulate suffrage in the States
The fact is becoming palpable that this absurd
measure can never become law. Wilson and
other Radicals have admitted that this is a
question for the States alone.

MECHANICAL cURIosITIEs.

A debate Of good deal of interest has taken
place, in the House Of Representatives, on the
resolution, reported and sustained by Mr.. Banks
in an eloquent speech, appropriating 100000
for the expenses attending the exhibition of the
products of the inohstry of the United States
at the Exhibition in Paris in 1867.
Mr.. lie Blond of Ohio, opposed that portion
of the resolution relating to the selection Of
commissioners to attend that exhibition. The
matter was wholly in the interest of the East
ern States, and he was surprised that the usual
requirement that they be appOinted'cit bout re-
gard to race or cOlcr was not inserted.
He suggested that among other great Anneri-
can curiOSities, the Freedmen's Bureau be sent
to this exhibition he had no doubt but the
emigrants would admire country that could
produce such a thing. CGreat Laughter.1
This reminds us Of story circulating in
Washington One Of the contraband females,
arrayed in the fnery Of her late mistress, IN
derstanding that the Freedmen's Bureau was a
very comprehensive concern, furnishing not
only eatables and clothing, but furniture, ap-
piled To one of the officers for ''nice bureau
one ,ciA a glass on he top" Wonder old
Thad did not think of providing this indispen-
sable article for a fashionable darkey. If the
I'LL authorized school-houses and dwellings for
the negroes, why not furniture?

TEST OATHS.

An important question is new under discus
sion in the Supreme Court Of the United States,
by some Of the ablcst lawyers in the country
as to the constitutionality Of the test-Oath of
Missouri 1t is generally believed that the
Court viii decide that there is no power in any
State to pass an ez post faetO law, power ex-
pressly forbidden By the Constitution of the
United States.
Besides the amnesty proclamation d the
President expressly absolyes all offenders from
penalties for past offences. 1t is not. therefore,
in the power Of the State of West Virginia to
enforce law which DISTINGUISHES more than
half Of her citizens.
The Radical Demagogues, who now rule
she State, most Of whom were skulkers in the
hour Of danger and some of whom were &C
tually in the Rebel army, but now claim to be
ultra loyal, may make the most Of their tenn
porary power. They must 90 down to infamy
Just as surely as che sun is to set to-day. It's
impossible that the Judges Of the Supreme
Court can sanction so gross violation of one
Of the fundamental principles Of the govern
nent.
A case should be speedily made up against
West Virginia, so as to be tested, if possible,
during the present term of the Supreme Court
The decision Of the case now pending from the
State Of Missouri viii settle the principle.

LOCAL SUMMARY

in progress for number of days in the Presbyte-
rian Church Of this town. We understand about
thirty have professed conversion. Theearnest and
eloquent efforts of Revs. Messrs. BEDISGER and LIZ
rEvRE, are being followed up by the celebrated
Dir. STILES in his ponderous, sledge-hammer presen-
tation of gospel truths.
From the commencement of the meeting large
and attentive congregations have been in constant
attendance, and we are gratifed that we can an
nounce no abatement of interest At no time since
the dedication of the Church have we seen it so
thoroughly crowded as on Sunday night last.

THE TRANSFER.

In the resolution of the Virginia Legislature
apprOpriating $4,000 to defray the expenses
Of a contest before the Supreme Court of the
United States as TO the constitutionality and
legality of the transfer by Congress the eoun-
ties Of Berkeley and Jefferson to West Virgin
ia, the name Of Hon. Reverdy johnson was in
serted, to be associated with other counsel to
be appointed by the Governor Of Virginia.
The ability Of Mr.. johnson in a contest OF
the sort is admitted, bet as that eminent gentle
man voted for the bill transferring US, in the
view Of Stevens, as conquered territory" in
contempt of the action of the Virginia Legsla-
ture repeating the consent given, it can hardly
be expected that he will accept the trust con-
ferred upon him. In truth, we should think
it not only indelicate, but improper.

WAR DEBT OF THE STATES.

Al the "loyal" States except Iowa, Kansas,
and Michigan, have put in their claims against
the United States for the sums spectively ex-
pended by them for support Of the war. The
amount, as estimated on the returns already in,
will exceed fre hundred millions Of dollars, in
addition to those classes Of war expenses which
can be audited under existing laws and paid by
the general government.
Mr.. Blaine, chairman of the select commit
tee on the subject, has reported bill to reim-
burse portion Of these debts, amounting to
Sis, 4s7 lO5, Of which West Virginia is TO
have Sl,52O,9l5. This is 25Per cent of the
average expenditure, the whole being considered
too heavy a burden to be paid at once.
The amount is to be paid in bonds, bearing
five per cent interest, payable semi-annually in
lawful money, and these bonds to be redeem
able at the pleasure of the United States 20
years from date.
The States seem to be pretty prompt in their
demands upon "Uncle Sam 1t is well he is
the owner Of extensive paper mills.

No Questions.

We observe that the ,Shepherdstown, Jefer-:
son county, Register, speaking of the operation
of the Registration Act, publishes a series of
questions to be propounded to applicants for
registration. Either the Board of Registration
in Jefferson county are preceding N shameful
disregard of the law, or the editor has been
misinformed. Neither the County Board nor
the Registrars have any power or authority to
ask single question of the applicant for Reg
istration. If the Registrar doubts the loyalty
of the applicant, he may require him to take
the test oath, but that is all. He has no right
to ask him whether he ever sympathized with
the cause of the South in the recent rebellion
or reioiced over Southern victories. If the Reg
iStrar proposes such questions as these, or in
fact any question at all except such as may be
necessary to ascertain the residence Of the voter
and the time he has been in the State and coun-
ty, he exceeds his authority, violates the law,
and should be punished therefor.
We trust that the Shepherdstown Register
will correct the impression its publication of
the questions has produced, and we trust also
that the Democratic and conservative citizens
of the various counties of the State will see to
it that, if the Registration act is enforced at ALL
it is not made more oppressive and tyrannical
than the terms of the law allow. Hold all the
officers of Registration strictly within the pow

We last week copied the questions referred
to by the Wheeling Register, and as they came
from the town where the Board of Registrars
had met for the purpose of appointing Town
ship Registrars, we took it for granted it was
an official and lawful proceeding; but since
reading the Registration act we are satisfied
the Board had no right to authorize any such
mterrogatorics to be propounded -

DIED.

On the 9th March. at Charlcstown, Virginia, af
ter a protracted and painful illness, Mrs. MARY
MILLER consort of Mr.. Albert Miller, in the 4lst
year of her age.
The deceased was n native of Hampshire County,
but removed to Jefferson some years ago, where
her earthly career recently closed, amid mourning
and sympathizing friends. She had scarcely more
than reached the meridian of the days allotted to
man upon EARTH than her sun Of life began wane,
which so lately retired behind the horizon of death
to appear and cheer no more those disconsolate
ones who survive her. Alas, how uncertain Is life
How frail that body subject continually to death
and decay!
For many months past, Mary Miller had been
child of aliction but, in the midst OF ALL she was
child of God, and therefore, endured her far more
than ordinary suferings, with patience and with
christian fortitude She had been, for more than
twenty wears. an exemplary and worthy member Of
the Methodist Church. She died in peace and tri-
umph, confidently anticipating the reward OF the
faithful in that better land, where
"Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and heard no more"
Being nearly deprived Of speech for sometime
previous to her DEATH she notpermitted to con-
verse freely with her family and friends just be-
fore leaving the world however, she spoke audibly,
and exclaimed in the presence of grefstricken ones
around her death couch: - Meet-me in Heaven!
Thus has passed away this christian wife and mo-
Their, leaving deeply afflicted family 10 mourn
their irreparable loss. How true the words:
"Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost friend?
e There is no union here Of hearts
That finds not here an end"
