TO the administration Of such govern

the Federal Government He believed
in addition to the 81, 10000 already ex'
psuded, an estimate fos the sum which
will be required will not be less than
$l4, 900 O0Ooyer the aggregate amount ex'
pended prior to the rebellion, in the ad-
ministration of their respective govern
ments by the ten States embraced in the
proyision of those acts. The sum ex'
pended, no doubt, win be considerably
augmented if the machinery OF
these States be operated by the
Federal Government, and will still
be largely increased if the United
States, by abolishing the existing
State Governments, should be responsible
for liabilities incurred by them before
the rebellion in laudable efforts to de-
yelop their resources, and in no wise
created for insurrectionary purposes.
The debt of these States thus leglti-
mately incurred, when accurately ascer.
tanned, will, it is believed, approximate
500 900, 900, and they are held not only
by our citizens, among whom are resi-
dents of portions of the country which
have ever been loyal to the Union, but by
persons who are the subjects of foreign
governments. 1t is worthy of the con-
sideration of Congress and the country
whether, if the Federal Government by
its action were to assume such obtga-
tons, so large an addition to our public
expenditures would not seriously impair
the credit of the nation or, on the other
hand. whether the refusal of Congress TO
guarantee the payment Of these States,
after having displaced or abolished their
State governments, would not be viewed
as violation of good faith, and repu-
diation by the national legislature OF
liabilities which these States had justly
and legally incurred.

Galloway, Of that paper, is the only editor

BJ- The Chicago Times represents
that a certain Rev. Mr. Hartmann, a
German preacher, predicts another war.
This was in a speech at meeting Of
preachers and other sectarian rell-
Uionists," as the Times describes 1t,
lately held in that city. The first war
was for existence, the second for union
of the nation, and the third will be for
the preservation of the Sabbath" He
seems to be one of the sort who incline
to beer gardens, and has determined that
liberty to enjoy them on the Sabbath
shall be preserved by the bayonet. We
are not particularly alarmed at this, as
he proposes to fight the Puritans in this
third war, and it is likely we shall not be
conscripted down this way. We had
expected tho third Puritan war would be
against the Catholics. But that is proba-
bly reserved for a fourth, which, as the
distinguished gentleman has his hands
rather full of this, he is not presently
anticipating When ioill the fools all die 7

here. A little painting, which is stuck in
an obscure corner, merits attention from its
drollery and original conception. 1t is by
Steuben and represents to the casual OF care
less observer, the seven cooked hats which
the Emperor especially delighted in. But
on looking closely at the background of the
picture, one discovers the following typical
etchings: Paris, Austerlitz, then the olive
branch, denoting peace, then Moscow in
flames, then Waterloo, then the Island of
st. Helena in the distance. The effect Is
very curious, and one doesn't know whether
to laugh or be sad on seeing the hats and
the souvenirs behind them.
"Then, in cases all around the room, one
sees the personal arms of the Emperor, the
little sword which IS always represented in
his picture, his other swords and pistols, his
epauIets, the watch of Josephine Beauhar-
nais,' pictures of THE little King of Rome,
four months old, the last slippers worn by
Josephine, and hundreds of little souvenirs
which have been scattered far and wide for
years, but have been collected by Eugenie's
care from the Louvre, from private collec-
tions, from every possible source, to figure
at Malmaison this one year that it is TO be
open, and to awaken remembrances Of Ma.
