WHAT RADICAL LEGESKATI0N
NAV no.

It was stated a few days ago in a
Washington letter that the British gov
eminent had agents in this country buy
ing up the eight per cent Confederate
bonds, and that they were rendered to
the United States in payment of the
claims preferred against the British gov
eminent for damages sustained by the
depredations of the Confederate priya~
teer Alabama There lie probably some
truth in this statement The New Or
leans Crescent of a recent date says
We learn from reliable authority, that
within the past two days Mr.. Bernard
Avegeno, one Of our largest brokers, has
purchased two hundred and sixty-five
thousand dollars of eight per cent. Con-
federate bonds of the issue Of 1861, and
three hundred thousand of the issue of
1863, to fill an order either from the North
or from Europe The prices paid we have
not been able TO learn.
The legislation of our Radical Con
gress has been such as to give the British
government an opportunity to demand
the payment Of bonds issued by the Con
federate States Congress enacted over
the veto Of the President, that there
were no legal governments in the Sosth
in other words, that the Southern States
had been wrested from a de tdcto gov
ernment and that their governments
ceased to exist as such upon their coming
under the authority of the United States.
This is the plain English Of the recon
struction acts passed by Congress, and
the British government so interprets
those acts The United States having
conquered and absorbed the territory of
the Confederate States, Great Britain
holds that, according to the law of ma
tons, the United States government is
responsible for the debts of the Confed
crate States. Our government has been
pressing that Of Great Britain for payment
Of damages sustained by citizens of the
United States from the depredations
Of the Confederate privateer Alabama,
and Secretary Seward has been led to
believe that these claims viii be paid
But a rumor comes from Washington
that agents of the British government are
busily engaged buying up the eight per
cent bonds of the Confederate States
with which to pay these claims If the
legislation of Congress has been such as
to compel our government 20 accept the
bends in payment of the Alabama
claimsf the taxpayers of this country
VIII have another heavy burden imposed
upon them The payment of these Con-
Tolerate bonds may yet become very
serious question for our government So
