The Boston Advertiser expresses

The Boston AdUertiser expresses
its astoniehmea.. sa.s follows: There
is still a South. We have enforced
freedom, we have compelled loyalty,
we have, declared equal rights, and
YETI etc. The New Orleans Times
shares in the Aduertiser's wonder,
that "there is still q South" still we
can console them with the fact that
if they keep up the game much
longer. there won't be much of "a
South" left. We feel very much as
"little Joe" did in "Bleak House,"
fully convinced that we have no
business to still live and be ga
South" and feel that it is very wick
ed in us, but we don't quite see how
we can we'll help it. Probably the
"Chadband" of the AdrertiSer will
take pity on us, stop talking to his
self" for while, and help us out of
the difficulty.

Taxation or Bonds.


Gen. IIogan's resolution. providing
FOR the taxation OF United States
bonds to the extent of two per cent.
per annum, expresses feeling which
We have reason to believe is all but
universal in the West. It has its
exponents also in the Atlantic States.
At least one New England Governor
has protested against the continued
exemption as an injustice to which
the community will not long submit,
and has insisted that the bonds shall
hereafter bear their full proportion of
State burdens. It is in the West,
however, that the feeling has taken
deepest root, and enters most freely
into the elements of future political
discussion. Party distinctions disap-
pear before it. Republicans and
Democrats are agreed upon the sub
ject even more completely than in
favor of On expansion of the cur
rency, and pronounced radical
brings it before Congress in q form
that will probably compel some def
mite action. The New York Times
thinks it will be unwise in the bond
holders to attempt resistance. 1t is
not the interest of any class to pro-
woke hostility by clinging tenaciously
to privileges which wear the aspect of
injustice; and we believe that the
holders of national bonds will avert
controversy, and in the end promote
their interests, by yielding somewhat
to the popular current. Whether
taxation or consolidation at lower
rate will serve them best, is qnes-
tion for themselves to answer; but
that one or the other is in store for
them, we hardly venture to doubt.
