This country is staggering under an
enormous load of Public Debt. The
Federal Government owes Two Billions
and Half; the States owe large
amounts: while Counties, Cities, and
Townships, have each their several bur-
dens. We are paying, in the aggregate
not less than Three Hundred Millions
per annum, as interest on these various
debts, while we are considerably redu-
cling the principal, especially Of the
local obligations incurred in providing
bounties for the volunteers in our late
struggle. Altogether, the taxes paid
by the people OF the United States,
though considerably reduced from the
maximum they attained in 1866, must
probably exceed Five Hundred Mil
lions per annum. Almost everything
is taxed, from the bdby's posset to the
and thrice over. 1t is generally agreed
that our taxation may be readjusted
and simplitied, so as to render II consid-
erably less irksome.
Will some one attempt to explain the
seeming paradox of an immense and
steadily increasing migration, from
countries that owe little and ts x lightly
in comparison, to this overburdened
RepublicT That some should dock
hither at all events, Is natural; but that
the volume of immigration would be
not merely maintained but largely
augmented, under the pressure of gi-
gantic debt, a high tariff, heavy inter
nal taxes, and an inflated, irredeem-
able currency, is a puzzle TO political
economists. Immigrants are still pour
ing in at the rate of a thousand per day,
and all of them who know how to do
anything, and will do II, find employ
ment and remuneration. Labor is as
well paid in the average, and as COM
fortablY subsisted, as il WAS when We
bad next TO no debt, light taxes, and
currency convertible into specie at par.
The real estate of the country could be
sold to-day for more money (reduced to
specie) than 1t was worth ten years ago.
Most of our people are prospering;
many are amassing wealth. Houses
are being built on every hand; lands
are being Improved; new farms are be-
ing hewn out of the forest and carved
from the wild prairie; our railroads are
being extended at the rate of thou
sand miles per annum; and the product
of our National Industry in 1857 will be
larger than that of any former year.
Do we not need a new political econ
omy recognizing and adapted TO this
state OF facts?

THE great men of England do not
seem 10 be acquainted with ordinary
city life. The London Spectator thinks
it is the great misfortune of English
cities that highly-pIaced Englishmen
do not live in them. West London be-
ing excepted, 1t questions whether
there is a peer, a country member or a
borough member not actually engaged
in trade, who lives within a city, votes
at municipal elections or shares TO any
sensible degree in the lite led by the in
habitants of any English town. The
consequences of this social anomaly,
which is peculiar to England alone
among countries, it adds, are seen
every day in the feeble and unsatisfac-
tory development of municipal life, in
the absence of any steady effort TO
make cities what they might be, ceD-
tres of art as we'll as Industry, OF intel
ligence as well as capital, homes full of
a rich and varied, though distinctly
English life. The Spectator laments
that no man eminent in the land ever
says, with pride, that he belongs to
Liverpool or Manchester, Leeds, or
Bristol, Birmingham or Sheffield.

pended from office as Secretary of War,
and will cease to exercise any and all
functions pertaining to the same, and
also directing me at once to transfer to
General Ulysses S. Grant, who has this
day been authorized and empowered to
act as Secretary of War al interim, all
records, books, papers and other public
property now in my custody and

From Noah's New York Times and
Messenger, of this week, we take the
following questions and answers
QuEsrIoN-How can sick headaches
and bilious attacks be avoided?
ANswER-By means of strict temper
ance, open air exercise, carry rising,
early retiring to rest and keeping good
conscience and good digestion.
QUESTION: sometimes see in the
papers the word "tinanciering." Now,
If II is allowable 10 form a participle
as this one is formed, why may we not
say "managering," factoring" "teach-
ering,' etc?" G - Ft- .r.
ANswER-If there were in the con.
struction of our language any regular
rules without an exception, your re-
marks would be full of Significance;
but such is not the case, and hence we
regard all these anomalies with despair
ing complRcency. -EE
QuEsT1oN.-'tf am about to go into
business as partner, but l feel myself
unqualified to ill any position. Tell
me how to become good business
man, a perfect gentleman, and a thor
ough scholar"
ANsWER.-You ask us to instruct you
how to become, in fact, an admirable
Crichton." We wish we could do it.
We should be most happy to exert our
selves for your benefit. But there are
lew men VINO eau tndSIer4dll Iue aCCOIn-
plishments for which you yearn, and
you will haYe to content yourself with
mastering as many as your time, pa
tience, disposition, and opportunity
will allow. To become good business
man you must devote yourself to all
the details of business with an atten-
ton and perseverance that cannot tail
to win success. To become a "perfect
gentleman" your only chance is to
discover such person. associate with
him constantly, study his precepts and
copy his example. To become "thor-
ough scholar" is still more difficult. 1t
will be necessary to invest two-thirds of
your waking hours in an absorbing at
tention to the whole circle of human
learning for all the rest of your lie;
and then when you have learned SO
much you will only have learned TO
sigh because you know SO little. The
most Thorough scholars" we have ever
been acquainted with have always la
mented that life was too short to acquire
even a common knowledge OF common

THE French are very quietly in
creasIng their possessions In Asia.
They have lately annexed three prov
inees in Cochin China. For several
years they have controlled these prov
inoes, which have an average popula-
ton OF l,50O,0OO. and have obtained
more recently a protectorate over three
other provinces. Cochin China is one
OF those Asiatic countries In which the
Catholic Church has for more than a
century been firmly established, and
where its rapid growth has only been
checked by bloody prosecutions,
France can in this country render
greater services to civilization than fhe
has done in Mexico.
