p|underirg and numbering the Jews Of Lon
don. This led to a similar EN- uie at York,
where, after having suffered much from the
violence of the roughs of that ", the Je -
were permitted by the Governor of Yo K
Castle to take refuge within that fortali q,
whittier they removed, with their families aud
effects.
Now it seems that the leaders of the mob
Were indebted to the Jews, and SO, by consent
OF the Sheriff, who was also probably bor-
rover, they attacked the castle But SO
hdeUus were their manifestations of ierocitv
that the Sheriff repented when he saw their
cruel impulse, aud revoked his order Never
theless mob law prevailed. The Jews were
pressed upon in their stronghold until they
could hold out no longer aud th"n, by advice
Of their chief Rabbi, they ALL 10 the number
of five hundr,d, destroyed their wives aud
children, aud then put an end to their own
lives.
An edict against the Jews, and revocation
OF the edict when popular opinion set in
against it, were also marked incidents in the
military career of General Graut. There is
DO evidence, so far as we are aware, that he
ever black mailed the sws, or that he was in
debted to them when-he drove them from the
camps of the army; but in that act we see a
curious and instructive proof that the world
has not made progress in every direction,
after ALL and that leader of American armies
in the nineteenth century can be as intole-
rant, if not as cruel, as a tauatical bOor of the
twelfth.
The parallel is brief, but it is suli i,ient to
"point moral, " il not TO "adorn tale ("
The Jews upon whom Grant passed the gra-
tuitOus insult in question did not commit
suicide to the number OF 500, or any other
number; but, on the contrary, the act of
Grant was a suicidal one for himself as will
doubtless be proved when tue votes for the
Chief Magistracy come to be counted-aud
in this we have an antithesis as well as a
parallel.

that that he should get the nominated interest,
and ultimately his principal. There was a
chance that he would get neither. On the
other hand, Government agreed to pay, but
everybody understood that the Rebellion must
first be put down, and the life of the nation
preserved. Few men in their cool moments,
operated on by no emergency, would choose
to lend money in this way at an average Of six
per cent. per annum. Now, however, If we
do not destroy our credit by dallying with the
reputation idea, we may, perhaps, borrow as
much or fund our debt at less rate of inte-
rest. But this depends on the way we keep
our faith.
II is not an auspicious circumstance that
the House of Representatives, by the votes of
all the Democrats and enough Republicans,
have instructed the Committee of Ways aud
Means to bring in bill providing for the col
lection of a tax of ten per cent on the interest
on these bonds, whereby the interest will be-
reduced. The proposition is a blow leveed
at our credit, especially abroad-iust where
we should be most jealous OF it. So far as 1t
goes, it is repudation; for it violates solemn
agreement. 1t is proposition calculated
seriously to impair, at the moment when
the strengthening of the national credit
should be the policy of everybody in the
land, more especially those acting for the
Government.
There is much claptrap talk about bonds
escaping taxation when every other desCrip-
tion of property, including incomes, is taxed.
Who of those who thus talk would take the
bonds on less favorable terms under the cir
cumstances existing at the time Government
virtually demanded the money And what
sort of honor is it that prompts an individual
or a nation after the storm has b9en weathered,
to undertake to cut down the agreed upon
rate of interest on forced loan Ordinarily
bonds should not be exempted from taxation
and as a rule there should be no way whereby
money could escape its share OF the common
burtbens. But in this case exemption from
taxation was in large degree the wherewit
the nation saved its life; and who will say it
was too much to payl
Six hundred and fifteen millions of the bonds
are held abroad. Would anybody repudiate
the argain-which was an easy one for us, as
every body thought at the time-On that ac-
count At home four hundred and twenty
five millions are held by the banks, which are
taxed as heavily as anybody. The remainder
is held, not by the capitalists but as a general
thing by men of cOmp paratively moderate
means. Is there any reason why the bargain
with them should be repudiated
The vital consideration which attaches to
this question is the national credit. That
must be preserved at al hazards. There will
be no difficulty in funding the debt if We keep
perfect faith. If we do not the thirteen mil
lions which the proposed ten per cent. tax
would produce would be earned at an incalcu-
liable cost.
