debt was placed at home. We are under no
obligations to England or any other foreign
power. The British and other foreign capital
lists that have invested in our securities since the
war did so because they could purchase them
at a very low price and with conviction that
In the future adjustment or consolidation Of the
debt they would be subject to the contingent
cies of legislation in taxing or reducing the
interest. In fact, they discounted these very
contingencies in advance. As to borrowing
money from Europe, the less we do Of that
the better, and really we have no need to do it.
The government is not likely under any cir
cumstaL ,es to want European loans. 1t is to
our interest and the duty of the government to
the American people to follow the example OF
England and tax the interest on bonds held
abroad Just as it is taxed at home.

That Repsrted Csas6fvSeivs Lotses q
Chief tustice Chnse.


The political party organs and party politi-
clans are very much exercised about letter
which 1t is said Chief Justice Chase wrote to
some Southerner on the political situation, and
In which he expressed highly conservative and
liberal views. This shows, at least, that there
is a tower Of strength in Mr.. Chase's name,
and that whenever it Is mentioned In connec-
ton with the Presidency the President making
factions and the organs of the different aspi-
rants for that high office become excessively
sensitive and nervous. The mere report that
he wrote letter favoring q broad, liberal and
conservative policy toward the South, which
was construed into bid for the Presidency, has
put them in futter Now, for the consolation
Of these President-making managers, wa can
tell them on good authority that the Chief
Justice has written no letter that will bear
such construction, and that he carefully
avoids entering into political matters or con-
troverses. It ia possible he may have written
letters to friends, expressing opinions as to
the policy that should be pursued toward the
South, as any other citizen might. This is
!
all Americans. Nor does be make any
mystery about his views ON this subject. He
has not hesitated to say that universal amnesty
should 60 with universal suffrage, that the
disabilities of the Southerners should be
removed, and that the wounds Of our civil war
should be promptly healed: No man, per-
haps. has had better opportunity or is more
capable Of forming correct opinion of the
present condition of the South and the temper
Of the people. He has been a great deal In
that section of the country since the war,
and his judicial circuit extending over a
considerable portion q i, be has necessarily
/ become well informed of matters there. The
ooneesi9p be hes GENE te, then; that sniiyeE-
sal amnesty should be granted and the wounds
Of the war healed for the good of the whole
country as we'll for that of the Southerners
themselves, ought to have weight both with the
administration and Congress. There is nc
doubt the sentiment Of the people is with him.
They do not want to see the Southern States
remain unrestored, disorganized, and under
military rule for the purpose Of helping any
political party. On this subject Chief Justice
Chase shows that he is statesman of broad
and liberal views, aud there is no reason to
conclude because he entertains them, or has
even expressed them that he has taken sucl,
conservative ground for the purpose OF reach
ing the Presidency or to interfere in political
matters.

Law.


Law.
A stragele--commenced ut orr doors
between the allied powers of congested
money capital and the inherent force of the
laws of the land, and which promises to
evolve consequences Of very great Importance,
both to the industrial interests Of the public
and the financial resources of the government,
during it's issue to final conclusion--has been
again advanced in the courts. II will be seen
from the report of decision delivered by
Judge James in the United States Court of the
Eastern District Of Brooklyn, which is pub
blished in our columns to-day, that certain
brokers or bankers residing IN ~ '----''s
-,-.. tne furnishing Of monthly
returns Of their capital and deposits, az
required by the act for purposes of taxation
by the revenue officers, and thus evade the
carrying of their due share OF the public
responsibility. The penalty is 4 iue of three
hundred dollars for each instance Of
omission, and it looks ~ il the law
had never been complied with by the
defendants, as the sum Of $3, 900 was sued for
"
monthly fines. Judge James confirms the
claim Of the federal officers OF the district,
which embraces Wall street. New York, to The
extent that every broker who loans out money
for any period Of time is banker, and must,
consequently, pay the government tax On capt.
tai used in banking upon each loan which he
so gives out One hundred and thirty persons
living in Brooklyn but trading in and on Wall
street are involved, and the position of Judge
james makes them liable to money penalties
which will aggregate about 100000 for the
Treasury. II also sets forth the important
points Of their liability in future should they
continue in the business. In its bearing on
matters Of equity, law and fnancce, the sub
ject is well worthy Of the consideration Of the
public. The collection of the tax is war nece-
sity, and no individual or corporation should
be permitted to shirk the burden. All should
bear just portion Of II.

THE REVIEW OF THg FIRE BgIeApE.--Ou
fire brigade had an opportunity on Thursday
of exhibiting Its discipline before the Chief of
the London Fire Department, who came here
to study and to learn something about the
paid organization Of New York. It Is said
that his visit was made at the suggestion Of the
heir to the throne, who was struck with
admiration while in this city with the excel
lent morale Of our Fire Department. The
London chief expressed himself astonished
and delighted by the brigade movements Of the
picked companies who passed in review before
him In Tompkins square, and has no doubt
learned good deal from what he saw. When
he returns to the British metropolis he may
find many suggestions for the improvement of
the body over which he presides, imbibed from
his brief experience Of the splendid discipline
which our Fire Department has attained under
the efficient management of General Shaler.
If Captain Shaw has given the New York
chief any hints as to the Improvement of our
force, we think it quite likely that be will take
as many hints home with him for the improve
ment of the London Fire Department. This
is but in accordance with the principal Of inter.
national comfy.
