Report Of the Senate Finance Com
miIlec.

The Senate Committee, to which was
referred the Financial portion of the
Presidents message, reported on Tues
day. The report is very lengthy. 1t
considers the general condition of the
public debt; ITS mode of payment; its
liability to taxation, and also the ques-
tiOn of currency contraction. The pub
lie debt is stated to consist of the fol-
lowing items: Legal tenders, approx
mating in amount to SlO0, ,000,0 600; "the
long bonds of 1881" amounting to $685.
676,60O, redeemable enly in gold; the
1910 bonds, Sl93, ,545, $50, due in 1874,
and payable, principal and interest, in
gold; the 5.20s, including with them
the 7-3Os, amounting to 81, 10000, 900.
Although ,he legal tenders are held
to be good and necessary as currency,
their conversion into bonds is urged in
the latter part of the report, and such
conversion is provided for in Senator
SHERMAN's funding bill to which the
report refers. The bonds Of 81 and "A
being redeemable in geld by the terms
of the acts under which they were is
sued, are dismissed from consideration
The redemption of the 5-20s is the
leading topic considered.
Before discussing this topic, however
the report. indulges in some speculation
as to the amount of floating or nm
liquidated debt, the extent of which is
held to be unduly and unjustly exag
gerated. Forty-five millions is claimed
to be the outside limit of this indebted
ness, and 50 small an amount it il
thought, may safely be left to the tender
mercies Of contingent surplusage in the
national Treasury. A timely precau
tioa is given, however, against any i'm
proper increase of this item Of the pub
lie Indebtedness. Says the report:
Every new bounty bill, every new
railroad subsidy, every new and .nnusua
expenditure for internal improvement
every new principle adopted in the set
element Of claims growing out of tn
war, will involve new taxes or new
loans. Therefore as an incident to ever.
such measure, there sheuld be a new
tax levied OF a new loan made. Th

vast expenditures during the war, cal

or suchincrease of our taxes as vii
bring back to these halls new faces an,
new names. 1t is idle to disguise tn
fact that the increase of our extraordi
nary expenses and weight Of taxes hav
alarmed the people.
The report states the question "wheth

piration Of five years in any other mon

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Cultirator
thinks it bad practice to feed horses
their hay through racks-especially clO-
yer hay. The reason assigned is, that
in drawing it through the rack, the dust
is shaken from it and inhaled by the
horses, and this irritates the lungs and
gives them the heaves. Hence he pre-
fers crib with the hay placed in il
upon the floor.

Opening Of Pixies Opera House.

On Monday next this magnificent temple OF
music will be thrown open to the public Tor the
illst time. and will resound with the voice OF o
truly great lyric artistic. Pixies Opera House
supplies want long felt by all those who take
an interest in the progress Of art in this country
and in it opera may find its permanent home
1t is popular opera house in the true sense of
the word, for there are no stockholders
reserved boxes or seats in it, and every place
marked on the diagram is at the disposal of
the public. The monopoly which siifed Italian
opera at another establishment and made it
distasteful 10 the public, who will not permit
any infringement OF their rights, does not exist
in the new opera house. Its appearance is
singularly attractive, and the auditorium, when
lighted up, presents brilliant coup doll,
which, of course, will be increased to an un.
limited extent when wealth and fashion crowd
the boxes and seats. TIE entrances alone and
the splendid dome which surmounts the audi
torium are features which render this house
superior to any other Of the kind In America
Nothing has been neglected to render every
portion OF the establishment both attractive
aud comfortable. The safety Of the audience
in case Of danger has been consulted in the
unusually large number Of exit passages lead
ing from the auditorium. The inaugural season
will be given by Max Strakosch's Italian opera
company, comprising the following artists
Madame Anna La Grange, Miss Phillips, Miss
McCulloch, Brignol Massimiliani, Orlandini,
Rsndoln, susini, Coletti and ssrti. The names
Of La Grange and Brignoli rank high in the
realms Of art and In their late tour through the

The New Management Of the New York
Democracy.

The New Management Of the New York
Democracy.
President Johnson is turning cut brighter
side every day. In fact, he is wiping off the
incrustation from the true metal, so that we
are beginning to be favored with sight
OF the genuine article at last, neatly and
clearly FURNISHED. Having obtained complete
mastery in the South by graphing with the is
sues there, and dismissing the military agents
ofCongressional law, Generals Pope and others,
and attempting to control-by mystifcation
and embarrassment-th democratic party of
the North by the nomination of General
Hancock for the Presidency, he throws an apple
of discord into the midst all the parties, and
almost reduces them to chaos. The leaders Of
the democracy in this county and city are
utterly bafled. There are two phases in the
present condition Of that party to be considered.
There was time when Dean Richmond con-
troled its destinies, and that, too, with the will
and power Of q despot Carrying the railroads
in his pockets and the steamboats, on his
back, he could walk into any caucus or con-
vcnton and regulate the whole affair, cut and
dry. But Dean Richmond has gone to receive
the balance Of the reward of his disinterested
patriotism in another world which he did not
obtain in this; and now we have o famous sue
cessor in the person Of Vanderbilt, kind Of
amphbious potentatc, an admiral who rules
both land and sea, and a railroad king who
keeps the New York Central, the Hudson
River, the Harlem, and the Lord only knows
how many other roads, carefully slowed away
in his vest pocket, and can despatch his dele
gates to ali parts of the State.
There is another phase which should not
be forgotten. Vanderbilt has son-in-
law, whose name s Horace F. Clarke. He
is smart politician, and withal as ambi-
tious as Marc Antony. He was q member Of
Congress, too, and therefore knows the ropes
he is Vanderbilt's right hand man; and the
Admiral's left bower anchor is p Bismarck
Sweeny. Now, with such valiant henchman
Us Clarke and such valuable and conscien-
tious appanage as Sweeny, and the two
Schells TO look after the scrip and bonds and
so forth in Wall street and keep them up to
respectable figure, what cannot Vanderbilt
do? Then there is another strong ally in
August Belmont, who manages the democratic
newspapers all over the country, in which, in
fact he owns, or at least governs, about half
the interest 1t is pretty well known that the
democratic organ here belongs to him, and
that he has SO much control over the demo-
cratic press ali through the country that as he
whistles they must dance. Thus the New York
democracy is taken admirable care of by
Andrew johnson and Land Admiral Wander
bilt, and between them its course in the next
Presidential election may be regarded as set
tied.

We published yesterday a full yet condensed
history Of the case of the United States against
Great Britain in the matter OF the claims arising
out of the dcpredations of the Alabama and
other rebel cruisers. We offer il to Mr.. Seward
without charge for his Instruction The case
as we present ii is concise and conclusive, and
might save him vast deal of trouble and tho
government great deal of writing paper. As
early as the 9th Of May, 1861, Lord John
Russell, who was Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
announced to the House Of Commons that, after
having consulted with the law officers of the
Crown, the government had come to the con-
cusion that the Southern confederacy must be
recognized rs belligerent. This announce
ment was made before any battle had been
fought and more than two months before the
battle Of Bull Run. The unseemly and un-
friendly haste Of the British government to
recognize the rebels as belligerents Is plain
enough. From the beginning II was clear that
government was ready to do what was in ito
power to break up a great and friendly repub-
Lie. No consideration Of humanity called for
such action at the time. Soon after the an
nouncement of Lord Russell that belligerent
rights would be accorded to the rebels move
ments commenced in England for the fitting
out Of privateersL Though the British govern
ment officially proclaimed its neutrality be-
tween the United states and the rebels, it was
in no way viglant to prevent rebel cruisers
from leaving its ports. On both moral ground
and the ground of international law and
comfy, therefore, we have q good claim for
the losses sustained from the Alabama and
other cruisers that came out or received aid
from England. BY the statement we published
yesterday 1t may be seen that our loss was
eighty-three ships, four steamers, eighty-two
barks, sixty-nine schooners, forty-fve briggs
and three other vessels--in all two hundred
and eighty-four. The loss in these vessels and
their cargoes amounts probably 10 eighty mill
lions. How much Of that England Is directly
responsible for, as having been caused by those
cruisers which left or were fitted out from her
ports, we are not able to say, but no doubt q
large portion Of ii. or course this was not
our only or the greatest loss. The destruction
of our shipping trade and commerce, if that
were admissible in the bill, would swell the
amount to much larger sum. The least wo
can be satisfied with. then, Is payment for the
vessels and cargoes actually taken. We
should take nothing less and insist upon an
early settlement

sian statesmen, as appears from telegram Of
ton whether the time has not come when they
ought to avenge themselves for the losses sus-
tanned in the Crimea. It would be strange,
indeed, If such state Of things did not tell
disastrously on trade and commerce every
where. Business men and capitalists are at
their wits end to know what to do. Millions
upon millions of unemployed capital lie useless
in the banks Of Paris, Of London and of Frank
fort The result Is that labor is scarce and the
people starve.
The one bright spot which appears on the
horizon to relieve the general gloom is the
prospect of congress of all the Powers A
cable despatch which we print to-day intimates
that the great Powers have asked the Emperor
Napoleon to explain the basis of the confer
ence by which he proposes to negotiate
settlement Of the affairs Of Italy. 1t is further
stated that the difficulty experienced by Gene
raj Menabrea, the Italian Prime Minister, in
reconstructing his Cabinet is the principal
cause of delay in completing the arrangements
preliminary to the congress. How much of
this is true we know not 1t will be well,
however, for trade and commerce, well for
Europe and the world, If that can be done
without war which otherwise war must soon
attempt to accomplish. Meantime, it is difficult
to resist the conviction that meet the congress
when it may, 1t will have to consider other
questions than that of Rome. The peace of
Europe cannot be secured until both the Holy
See and the Sublime Porte are placed in differ
ent relations to the rest of the world.
