THE PUBLIc MoNEY-THE NATIONAL DEBT.

THE Public MoNEY--THE NATIONAL DEBT.
The New York Times, which is not over
scrupulous, is nevertheless perfectly capable of
being scared, aud it is beginning now to express
no little alarm at the rapidity with which the
national debt is being augmented. 1t says: /:
The Bounty Bill of 1866 added about eighty
millions. Another is under way which will
add from two to four hundred millions more.
Mr.. ;Schenck says this bill will do 'to begin
WITH" and Gen Banks pledges himself to
vote for whatever sum the soldiers want
he does not care whether it is four Or eight
hundred millions of dollars. Mr.. Williams,
Of Pennsylvania, has presented another, and
Mr.. Perham, Of Maine, still another bill OF
the same sort. In addition to these bills
there is another to pay out of the national
treasury all debts incurred by States and coun-
ties in raising troops. 1t is pretty certain"
the Times tells US, to become law and to add
FIVE hundred millions to the national debt
Then come the claims of loyal men" for
compensation for losses during the war, of
which the Times remarks: "We have very good
reason to believe that the amount Of such OF
these claims as will be found to be perfectly
Just, and such as must be paid, will approach
very nearly, if it does not equal, what is under
stood to be the present aggregate ofthc national
debt" If all that the Times predicts comes
to pass, then will come to pass also our pro-
pbecy that close upon the destruction of the
South will follow the ruin of the North

listener at the African Church, some time
since, when Mr. Holden addressed the colored
people there. His employer felt some curiosi-
ty to know what the speaker said on that oc-
sSaslou, and requested the eolored man to give
him some account of it.
The colored man replied, substantially, as
follows: "W eli, sir, / listened to the speech,
but couldn't tell you much about it, for [
couldn't help thinkin all de time, and sayin to

SUFFERINGs AT THE SoUTH.-A private let
ter in the New York Times from a violent
Radical army offcer-a Northern man-gi7es,
if possible, a worse picture Of suffering than
any we have had. But, he thinks it right to
stop persecution somewhere, and, therefore,
after an abundance Of personal reflections upon
the stupidity and acrimony of those around
him, writes as follows, in words which make
ones heart ache 1.-THE truth is that these
people are so tortured with debt and poverty
that they hardly mind anything which has not
direct relation to getting daily bread and ne
cessary raiment do hope to God that we
never shall approach the horrible crime and
cruelty of confscation or any similar measure
of mere vengeance. Looking this desoated and
pauperized community of widows and orphans
10 the face, | feel like imprecating curses on
the head of any man who strives to add to
their misery The amendment is right; it
Furnishes the very men who ought to be pun
ished; it is simple and not unmerciful justice.
approve of Sherman S military bill because It
entorces the amendment But this whisper
ing about confscation seems to me like the
whispering of murderers. A large portion OF
this people is close on the verge Of starvation;
and if you take away their land, or if you rem
der their landed tenures 80 insecure as to inter-
tere with the planting Of crops, there will be
