A National Crime.
be- M. Y. EventnQ .Post.

From The N. y Evening Post.
In the House of Representatives on Monday
Mr.. Cobb, of Wisconsin, without notice, intro
duced the following resolution, which was
pressed to a vote without debate under the
previous question, and passed by 92 yeas to
55 Nays
"ResoLUed That the Committee of Ways and
Means De ana are hereby instructed TO report
without unnecessary delay bill levylng tax
of at least ten per cent. on the interest OF the
bonds of the United States, to be assessed and
collected annually by the Secretary OF the rrea'
sury and such of his subordinates as may be
charge with The duty OF paying Interest on the
bonded Indebtedness OF the United States"
Let 1t be remembered that the Republican
party is now before the country, asking for
the votes OF citizens, upon platform which
denounces all forms of reputation as a ma
tlonal crime, and which carefully points out
the true method of reducing the pressure of
the public debt upon the people. 1t declares:
"1hat the best policy to todiminish our burden of
de is To SO Improve our credit that capitalists
will seek to loan us money at lower rates. of n
terest than we now pay, and must contnua 10
pay SO long as reputation, partial or total
open or covert is threatened or suspeoted.":
This resolution and those which support il
define it, and make it emphatic, form the most
important part of the platform. The resOlu-
tions relating to equal suffrage are in the past
tense. They approve and confirm what has
been done; they refuse to consent to unsettle
II all again; but their doctrine adds nothing to
Republican policy as generally understood be-
fore. II is the financial resolutions that give
to that platform its distinctive character; and
II is the adoption Of them that makes the
Chicago Convention memorable
Now certain meyabers Of Congress vote that

The National Convention.

From the ~ y. World.
Perhaps no body of men ever assembled in
this country on the wisdom of whose action
so much depended as on that of the National
Democratic Convention which is about to
meet. If we can carry the election it makes
little difference on what platform or with
what candidates. 1t is so notorious that the
greater part of what has been done by the Re-
publican party is in fiagrant violation of
the Constitution, that the defeat of that party
would certainly bring the country back to
sanity, and probably to sense. One of the
most important consequences of Demo-
cratic victory will be its effect on the
Republican party. After such rebuke, it
would despair of recovering its lost as
cendancy by advocating such high-handed
measures as it has carried in the swollen
insolence of power. At least one-third
of those who vote for General Grant will de-
sert the Republican party Immediately after
his defeat. We fear that many Democrats
underrate the moral effect of a Democratic
triumph. They make the mistake of sup
posing that nothing will be gained beyond
what is bargained for in the platform. There
is an instructive apologize in the school
books of a boy who was permitted to take a
handful of nuts from a narrow-mouthed Jar.
In his greediness he filled his hand 50 full
that in drawing IL out lie had to relax his
grasp and lost them all. II is expedient to
pitch our demands in so low a key as to give
Republicans an excuse for dessrting their
party. A party in power can safely DO many

prominent member. The historian OF the Anne.
Tiosn conflict in appealing for precedents which
rival the recent loot in Abyssinia can find in
the late war 'to restore the Union" whole
sale instances of robbery and plunder, the like
of which are not to be found among the annals
Uf the Feeees, or head hunters of Borneo.
The sack of the magnificent State Library
at Baton Rouge Louisiana and the burning
of the splendid building to cover the theft;
the plunder of Arlington and the general loot
of family relics which were heir-looms from
Washington the thefts and robberes which
marked the whole march of the army through
out the South, are unparalleled in any history
of civilized or barbarous nations. We need
not name a single individual loyal Lazarus
who went South expressly to deplete the
pockets and plate closets of the disloyal Dives.
His name might be Butler; it might be Dow;
it might be Jones; in all probability it was a
name of some such sort. The brigadiers who
went to the war beggars and came home mil
lionaires may be counted by hundreds. With
these men 'lJot" was a synonyme for loyalty,
and their patriotism" was plunder. The
Tribune knows as well as we do that the whole
sale thefts of certain loyal generals at the South
during the war are only family paraleed by
the loot in Abyssnia, and are only equalled by
the Wholesale plunder of the peace patriots
whose super-loyalty manifests itself in the as
founding radical defalcatons and robberies
which now almost daily develop in Washing
ton.

Holy Horror Of 4. G.

Nom the N. T. World,
The holy horror of the Tribune over the late
"lOot" in Abyssinia, where Napier's soldiers
are said to have stolen mule-lOads of books and
pictures, and even to have carried away the
censers and chalioes of churches, inspired that
shocked journal to utter an entirely new con-
undrum, to wit the foilowipg:-
Having done their best To reduce Abyssnia
to heathenism, these Christian cOnquerOTs have
the grace to keen their pundar In their pockets
until they are out of the country. Do the annals
OF war furnish another instance of sucn delicate
rapacily?"
We should say that they did. For instance,
the cart loads of books stolen from Southern
libraries during the war, the plate, pictures,
pianos, baby linen, and spoils generally, were
for a long while surreptitiously shown only to
loil friends in New England rs Rebel trophies
The mere robbery of Libraries; the stealing Of
communion services from churches; the theft
OF the silver candelabra from the altar of the
Jesuits' Church of the Immaculate Concep-
tiOn in New Orleans when Butler was COM
mandant; the sacking of private houses and
the general turning up in ten States Of the
soil of kitchen gardens in a wild search for re-
bellious silver teapots-they are minor mat
ters, mere trifes, in comparison with such
outrages as the burning of Churches in Co.
lumbia and Atlanta. 1t was reported in the
late Protestant Episcopal Convention of
South Carolina that no less Than fifteen
churches of that one denomination were
burned in that State during the war; indeed,
church burning was as much passion with the
Vagabonds and bummers of the army as it was
AT the North some years ago, when what is
now called the radical party was known was the
NAtlVe Amvrlcan party, OF which COitsX was a
