FINANCIAL CRUDITIES.

Mr.. Lyman Balloon, q member of our State
Assembly from Steuben County, chosen by
Republican votes, has submitted the following
Resolred Of the Senate cOncur That all bonds Of tho
ton for State and municipal purposes that ali bonds
OF the United States, not expressly payable III gold,

States Of counties towns cities and Villages are

requested favor the passage of laws for carrying the
foregoing views into effect"
Remarks by The Tribune.
There are certain facts to be considered in
determining the justice and policy of the course
proposed by Mr.. Balloon. For instance
/. The bonds of the United States, apart
from any express stipulation, are not taxable
by State or local authority. This point was
settled by decision Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, pronounced by Chief-Jus-
tice John Marshall in 1S20-nearly fifty years
ago. The soundness of that decision has never
since been contested. IT, then, our outstanding
bonds were not expressly exempted from taxa
ton, they would be exempted by general law.
III. The subsection of any bond to or exemp-
ton from taxation is Of course considered, es-
timated, or Gas they say in Wall-street) eds
Counted in its negotiation or purchase. A
bond exempt from taxation of course brings q
higher price, or bears lower rate of interest,
than it would do if taxable The Government
could probably now borrow at per cent. on a
long bond non taxable; and, if its indebt-
edness were not so large, it could probably
borrow at per cent; whereas, the same bond
subject to State and local taxation would
hardly be taken at sir per cent. Thus, all that
would be taken from the bOndholders by tax
alton must be returned TO them in the shape
of increased interest on the debt A gov
eminent does not favor its creditors by making
its bonds non-taxable; it simply favors itself
and its taxpayers by getting the money it
needs at lower rate of interest than it other
wise could do.
III. The medium in which the outstanding
Debt of the United States is payable is o
question of law and of fact. We know, as a
matter of fact, that the outstanding bonds of the
United States, except those expressly payable
in currency, known as the Seven Thirties,'D
were taken On the assurance of successive Sec
retaries of the Treasury that the principal
was payable and would be paid in coin, as the
interest specifically, unquestionably was. No
body supposed, when they were authorized that
there would be any other currency in exist
ence when they fell due than one Of coin aud

The Catholic party in Italy, which agrees
with the Pope in regarding the establishment
of the Kingdom of Italy as usurpation, and
in demanding the restoration of the expelled
princes, has hitherto not taken part in the
general elections, in order not to recognize the
rule of Victor Emmanuel. 1t is stated that they
have now changed their plan, and that the
next election will be vigorously contested by

Sneaker. The debate which was moro per
sonal than important, was continued for long
time by other members.
Notice was given of an amendment authorN-
in the late insurrectiOnary States to appoint all
civil officers heretofore provided by the laws
of such States, making it the duty OF the
several District Commanders to confirm such
appointments and install such persons in office,
and providing that such State governments
shall continue in Office until the States are adj
mitted into the Union, and other State officers
are appointed and qualified.

French papers assert that Prussia has joined
France in censuring the aggressive policy OF
the Prince of Servia and also in demanding
the restoration of the September Convention.
If true, this would indicate an important
change in the foreign policy of Prussia. Such
change would certainly not be made unless
in consequence of the withdrawal of all French

July %, that dreadful cattle plague
had broken out there, which had proved
so fatal that all efforts had failed to save a
single animal. He says: "There mas not

The total loss up to this date is from forty

A week ago I had fifty head of fat steers
