The BoNDHoLDlNa SwINDLE.--M. A. B
lent the Government in 1864, 800, 900
in gresnbacks. At that time gold was
$50 per cent. premium, 90 that the Gov
eminent received, ain fact, but $40, 900 in
gold. Upon this 100000 in gold it paid
$4,000 annual gold interest. or fifteen per
cent. 1u addition, it exempted the bonds
from State and local taxation, amounting
to two or three per cent. nor each year.
Thus. in four years. the b%ondbolder who
lent $4,000 in gold, has received back
$4,000 in interest. and has had his taxes
exempted for $4,000 or $4,000 more, max.
Jog $4,000 10 al. The principal Of hi.
debt Was payable, under the law, in legal
tender currency. So to pay it now in
greenbacks would give bin seventy-ive
OF eighty cents on the dollar, whereas he
only lieut. forty cents 10 gold. But this
does not satisfy him. In despite Of the
agreement, he demands 100000 in gold
from the Government, in addition to the
$50. 900 in gold which he has received in
interest and taxes, to pay the $4,000
which he originally lent in gold. Did
anybody eve hear before Of such an ex-
tortionate demand? Was there ever
such an unexampled usury! Ever such
an unprecedented robbery contemplated
upon the treasury! Who that is not

Attempt of the ReVOiutiOnists to Collect
War Tax from FOreigmers.

The N. Y. 7r1bune's correspon dence from
Panama, OH the 9th instant. states that the
doubling the commercial taxes for that month.
As soon AS the attempt to collect the tax was
made, memorial was drawn up by the mer
chants, and sent to their respective consuls,
protesting against the decree, and setting forth
that the ordinary tax tor, October had already
been collected by the Government.
meeting OF all the Consuls took place
Immediately, to take into consideration the
question submitted to them by their citizens.
The result of this conference was joint
remonstranee to Governor Mendoza, the acting
President, courteously but firmly protesting
against the decree, aud Informing him that their
under protest. The Consols, in their reply to
their memorialts; informed them of the result
OF their meeting, aud advised their citizens not
10 embarrass the action OF their Government by
paying the extra tax, except 1t was collected by
force, and then under protest. These protests
would be Immediately forwarded to their
respective Governments for action. lengthy
reply to the remonsrance of the Consuls was
received the following day from Senor Men
dOZa, in which he endeavored to justify the
action of the Government, and declared his
determination to adhere TO his original intention
OF collecting the tax. This note received very
laconic answer from the Cousuls, to the effect
that the reply had failed to change their opinion
as to the legality of the tax, and that they still
protested against ii. The Government are re-
solved TO enforce the decree, and as all the
merchants will refuse to pay except by force,
you may expect some very lively times among
us before long.
The only way that the Government can collect
this unjust tax is by sending aa armed force
into every foreigners place of business and
forcibly seizing his goods. Up to the present
moment no seizing have been made, probably
because the Government believed that some
compromise would be arrived at before going to
exIemities, That the Government ls anxious
for a compromise is apparent from the fact that
one OF the merchants was approached privately,
and the request made to call a meeting to asccr-
tain If they would loan the Government $4,000.
The following resolution was unanimously ap'
proved;-
Resolved That, the broad principle OF right the
commercial community VIII not advance or lead
the amount requested by the Government aud
strongly protest against the decree OF the Govera
ment OF the 20,h October last. being contrary to
existing treaties as designated by our respective
cOnsuls. .
hope that now this question will be settled
for all time, and the authorities be made to
| comprehend that solemn treaties cannot be set
aside by stroke Of the pen. On several pre-
vious occasions the attempt to levy war tax
| upon foreigners has been attempted; but, un-
\ fortunately, the merchants always compromised
| by making loan 10 the Government, and
hence losing the opportunity Of testing the
question.

and continued for three or four seconds. The
sky was covered with light, bat there were no
thunder-clouds. A few Eoinutes before the
occurrence there was that strange calm pre-
yalent which has been noticed during the time
OF a complete eclipse. Great alarm was felt by
the Inhabitants. At Twynrodyn aud other high
quarters the people rushed out of the houses,
some attrbuting the shock to explosions under
meath in some of the coal or mine pits, but as
Merthyr is not undermined, and no mine or
coal stratum exists there, this fact was con-
elusive that the disturbance proceeded from a
greater and more mysterious cause. AT the
time of the occurrence there was a grand pro-
cession by torchlight in honor of one of the
candidates for representing the borough, aud
the great swell of the earth and shaking OF
floors aud windows coDtrasted strangely with
the merrymaking going on in the valley.
