tive to the investment of the Naval Pension
Fund WAS taken up, discussed, and post
poned
The bill to reduce the rate of interest on
the National Debt, and for funding the same,
was then taken up and discussed One hun
dred and eighty thousand dollars are to be
set aside annually for the payment of the
public debt, after the payment of interest.
Holders OF 7-30 bonds are to advise the
Secretary OF, the Treasury, four months be-
fore their maturity, whether they elect to be
paid, or to convert the bonds into 5-2O's.
Compound interest notes are not to be held
by National Banks as part of their reserve
The bill to build bridges over the Missis-
sippi at certain points, was taken up, and

the most intense bitterness by the leaders Of
the great Jacobin club; and these facts, COM
bined with the mad ambition of those reck-
less leaders to rule or ruin, give color to the
statement. How far they can succeed, we
cannot pretend to say but the chances seem
against the conspirators. We have no con-
ception that the people of the North are such
absolute lunatics as to plunge into the horrors
of civil war at the bidding of plsce-hunting
politicians and, if Mr.. RAYMOND can only
prove the fact that this conspiracy exists, it
will require noCIcERo to denouncs the machi-
nations of the buck-shot CATALINA who is
supposed to be at the bottom of the plot
Once proved upon the Radca eaders, they
will find themselves consigned to the bitter
seclusion of private life, aud the detestation
of their constituents

Honor to whom Honor is Due.


We learn that Major JOHNSON, the officer
detailed to superintend the removal of the
dead of GRANTS army, buried along the Pc
tersburg lines, treats the remains of the Con-
federate sleepers with marks of decent re-
spect, which shows him to be soldier worthy
Of the name. He has the bodies of those I'M
known Heroes, who fell under the Southern
cross, buried near the spot where the men of
bis own army are laid in the silent bivouac,
where human passions and animositics are
unknown
1t is pity that the so-called statesmen of
the North cannot follow the generous exam
pie OF this brave man, and bury the dead is
sues of the past out Of sight, with some show
of respect for the men who maintained
them. Fetters of silk are better than letters
OF iron, and the strongest that can ever be
forged for the people of the South will be
those welded together of their affections.
Respect for our heroic dead would be a
quiet but powerful agent 10 this work, and
in this matter Major JOHNSON has not only
shown himself generous soldier, but wise
man

The Finances of European Beliiger-
anfs

The Paris correspondent Of the Times gives
us interesting information relative to the
financial condition of the three Powers to
which the sinews of war are now so essential
We referred some days ago to the com para
tive superior position in this respect which
Prussia relatively sustained. But the war
expenditures inaugurated by the policy of
BIsMARK, have tended to render that position
less advantageous than our former figures
disclosed. 1t is stated that previous to Count
BIsMARK's administration, the funded debt of
Prussia was only about e44 100000 and her
annual expenditure was e24 100000, about
the third of that of France. The savings of
former ministers have, however, been alb
serbed by the calling into the field OF 500, 900
warriors by the COUNT. ..
Prussian paper money is ehow said to be at
discount, and the Prussan Bank has raised
its rate of discount to 81 per cent AS we
stated in a former article, Austria has not
failed to increase the deficiency in her expen-
ses during the last eighteen years; and by
consequence, she has been compelled, like a
private individual, under such circumstances,
to add loan to loan Her debt is estimated,
as a French fnancer states, who is cited by
the correspondent of the Times, at 924O, 00O,-
900, and the taxes have been increased so as
to yield revenue of e40, 100000 So much
Of this is absorbed by the interest on
her debt, that the balance is inadequate
to the maintenance of her present standing
army-and her bankruptcy is regarded
as imminent. The loss will be sus-
tanned, it is said, by Frankfort, Amsterdam,
Antwerp, and Brussels, from which she has
derived her supplies of funds. In 1860, the
debt of Italy was 91OO,OO0,O0O, and since
then, it is said, it has been doubled In
1851, the Italian rente was SIT is now 81
Its engagements with railroad G. mpanies
amount to e2,000,000 annually. 1t has re-
