LONDON, Feb. DC, II p. ma great meeting of
the friends Of the United States WAS held to-
night at st. James Hall. John Bright presided.
A number OF prominent Liberals were present
and on the platform.
John Bright made powerful speech arousing
the sympsthies OF the audience for the American
people by eloquent aliusion to their conduct In
the war of the rebellion.
Rev. Newman Hall presented with ability the
American side OF the Alabama controversy, and
pressed his views with an carnestness and elo-
quence which carried the vast assemblage en-
tirely with him. The meeting was enthusiastic
and broke up with cheers for America.
LONDON, Feb. 2o.-The Times says Lord Dtrby's
resignation was foregone conclusion, so also
was the succession OF D'Israeli, as no other man
has the equal right to take the Tory lead.
Lord Chelmsford will retire, but no other
changes are likely.
There is no reason, under the present circum-
stances, why the Ministry should not be per.
manent.
The Nep, says 1t is possible that Crambourne
may succeed Northcotte in the India once, and
Stanley may be made q peer and representative
OF the Government In the House OF Lords.
The Telegraph, discussing the position Of the
new Premier, intimstes that D,Israeli cannot
expect the indulgence due his veteran prede-
| cessor.
The Standard says the previous task Of D'Isra-
ell, as Chancellor Of the Exchequer, was one OF
great difficulty, but he is best fitted by his cour.
age, tact, experience, and close relations with
Earl Derby to succeed In the still morc dificult
task which now devolved upon him.
The Post declares thai D'Israeli now becomes
Minister, less on his own merit than because
there Is no one else so at to take the place.
LoSDoS, Feb. 26-Evening In the High Court
of Chancery this afternoon, Lord Chelmsford
announced his intention Of resigning. Sir Hugh
Cairns will be his successor.
FLORENCE, Feb. 26.-Somc OF the italian jour

FUNDING THE DEBT.

The financial problem has finally been
solved-the Gordian knot is cut by a
general funding bill, the sure, safe and
most direct method of egress from the
labarynth of perplexity, confusion and
danger, in which the finances We're in
volved. 1t is one of the few measures
which, it is anticipated, the President
will not veto; his views on this ques-
ton, singularly enough, harmonizing
with Congress. The exigencies of the
war required the issue of bonds at a
high rate of interest. The redemption
of Five-Twenties after FIVE years from is
sue, and before maturity-twenty years,
is at the option of the Government.
These 520s bear six per cent interest,
payable in coin, semi-annually. There
are three issues of them, dating from
1S62-164-'65. Those of 1862 amount to
$500 900 900, and it was shown by care-
fully prepared tables, that by the original
bill funding them with thirty-year five
per cent bonds, that the total saving to the
Government on the one issue at the ma
turity of the 30-year bonds, in 1898, would
be S269, ,912, 10000; more than one-half
of the amount The bill was however
modified, making the interest Al per
cent, thus making a still greater saving.
The entire amount of 5-20's of the three
issues, and 7,3-10ths, convertible into
5-20's at maturity, contemplated as re :
deems5lC BY the new bonds, is S1613,-
Az, 10000 OF three-fifshs of the entire
debt. The saving on the interest, and
the $135 100000, annually set apart
from customs, for this specific purpose,
will pay the interest and principal at the
maturity of the 30-year bonds. As. tue
interest is now fixed, it is fraction less
than three dollars per annum TO each
person in the United States, with a
wealth and population doubling and re-
doubling itself rapidly. In France the
rate is $500, and in England 3.26. There
is no threatened revolutions there on that
account, although the Johnny Bulls,
with all their mature plans and smooth
ly working systems of finance, pay more
than we, and the wealth and popula-
ton gives no noticeable relief. Besides
under the the new bill, Jay Cooke & Co.
and others are cut out of n per centage
on sales. Those holding the old bonds
can convert them, or the Secretary of the
Treasury can sell the new ones at par
and redeem the old bonds as they become
due. This bill is one os the fruits of the
expression of the Chicago Convention
distinctly demanded in the resolutions
which the Gazette said meant exactly
what they did not say. We said "amen'
to the resolution: say amen" to the
funding bill, and yet claim consistency

the United States taxes, it has never
yet equalled Madison County alone in
the size of it's assessment Ioll and will
barely do so this year, even it the final
returns are as large as promised. What Is
the remedy for this state of affairs We
answer, intelligent legislation and
change of officers. The bungling laws
with which we have been thus far pro
vided, show us no remedy in the case of a
too low assessment. thus leaving open
wide door for partial and unequal taxa
ton. The honest man must pay the
tax of the rascal and there is no redress.
Gov. Smith, in his message to the last
Legislature, recommended that As
SCISSORS compensation should be made to
consist alone of commission upon tax
es collected but. Notwithstanding the
fact that the total sum expended in col
lecting the United States taxes is less
then this percentage would amount TO,
the Legislature, failed to act upon the
suggestion, and continued the per diem
allowance to the officers. thus offering a
premium to him who should occupy the
most time in doing the least. That we
may have this law changed, we must
put in the Legislature men who shall
consider their duty to the public para

office holders, and who will consult cons
cerning the good of the people rather
than concerning the best way in which
to increase the emoluments of this or
that fat office. The names of such men
appear upon the the Union Ticket and
will receive the hearty support of all
thinking men. But not only do we need
new men to enact laws, but new to put
them in effect. The present Assessor
has been faithfully tried, with what re-
suit, we have shown. He is again nom-
mated by his party, but we do not need
him. Col. John A. Nelson, the Republi.
can candidate, is the man TO fill his place
to vigilantly and impartially per
form the duties of the office, and give
us such an impartial assessment, ai

duce the taxes of honest men one.half
He will receive a heavy vote.

managed to incorporate in its platitudes,
resolutions to the same general effect,
and thrown Pendleton and his ire
deemable" ideas overheard, it may be
accepted as settled fact, that all men
of ali parties, will unite in acquiescence
to this measure. The Democratic big
gun was spiked before a shot was fired /;
its chiefs are stripped of the war paint
and feathers, and stand disarmed on the
day of battle. The faith of the nation
is sustained, we have passed the ordeal
unscathed, and the government has vim
dicated itself from the aspersion that in
base ingratitude it would defraud its
creditors and evade it's honest debts.
The Fortieth Congress has not done a
better deed than this, and with this es-
tablished and il effective operation, the
further reduction of taxes and final eX-
tinguishment of the entire debt will be
of easy accomplishment, and the nation
will have borne manfully. heroically ano
honorably, the burdens that came oi
the Great Rebellion.

nIINERAL RESOURCES.

We are indebted to friend for a copy
of the Reports of Mr.. ]. Ross Browne
and Mr.. ]. w. Taylor on the Mineral
Resources of the United States 1t is a
volume of nearly $50 pages, and is,
without question, the most valuable re-
port ever made upon the precious min
erals of this country. In it we find, per
tanning to Montana, the report of w. 5.
Keyes, NJ. E, to Browne, 20 pages the
report of j. r. Blatchley, to Browne, 10
pages Mr.. Brownies personal report, o
pages, and Mr.. Taylor's personal report,
1 Page-in all 45 pages. The reports of
Messrs. Blatehley and Keyes, from
hasty examination, appear TO US as
nearly correct as could be approximated
to, and evidence thorough research,
a careful collation. of such statistics and
facts as are obtainable, and a manifest
desire to tell the truth. The difficulties
of collecting statistics is perhaps un-
derestimated, but let any one however
familiar with the working, and those
conversant with the operations, in any
one gulch, be commissioned to ascertain
and report it's product, and he will find
what Herculean task it is. Having
tried this in Alder Gulch year ago our
experience was in ascertaining from one
that the total yield was between $17,,
100000 and S1S,O0O,OOO; from another
that it was not less than 100000, 900,
and from a third that the other two
''were crazy"-yet either of these men
would unhesitatingly condemn any es-
innate differing from theirs. Such are
the difficulties of making up reports in
the Territories. IN so far as pertains
to the geology, agricultural resources,
/ history, climate, etc, the reports are
doubtless beyond question in the main,
and Montana, although not receiving
that elaborate notice bestowed on Cali
fornia and Nevada, has yet been accord
ed a reasonable space There are many
points in it not given in the summary
published from the imericdn Journal

sent to our readers.

We have yet to hear of a people that
entertain fears of being too little taxed,

the last place in which to look for it.

and County taxes and licenses, we have
enough 10 pay for the privilege of being
governed. perhaps too much, but Ger
tainly not too we'll Nevertheless, and
at the risk of being charged with incon-

Mr.. y. p. Langford, Collector of In
ternaI Revenue, came near having joke
perpetrated on him on Monday dis
counting Jack Reynolds of Saturday.
He yesterday received telegram in
forming him that Mr.. Morris had
been appointed by the President as his
successor, and confirmed by the Senate
during the closing hours of the session.
The interpositlon of friends procured a
reconsideration of the confirmation, and
Mr. Morris was but Collector for a few
hours. while the official head of Mr..
Langtord so skilfully guillotined was re-
placed as neatly as though Robert HouS
din had done it. 1t is not half so de-
sirable to know who struck Billy Pats

a descendant of George p, the poet ;
Gouveneur, the friend of Lafayette ;
Lewis, who put his autograph below
Hancock's on the Great Declaration ;
Robert, the financier of the first Con-
gress Thomas, the statesman, or
